This month of September will be a very busy time, if all is done that could be done. Several things could wait a few weeks, but may as well be done at once, because the end of the month finds us more than busy. Vincas. Put in a large lot of the variegated and Harrisonii vincas. Take the long growths that have spread along the ground. Don't use the very tender tops, for they are too soft; neither the first few joints, for they are hard and woody. Let there be one pair of leaves above the sand and one eye beneath. Keep the sand well wet and shaded from the bright sun and in four weeks they will be rooted. Never in our years of experience with vases, etc., have we had enough of this pretty, so-called vine. It is much pret- tier than the English ivy, not so stiff and yet endures neglect about as well. Ivy Geraniums. This is also a good time to put in your stock of ivy geraniums. Of these there are seldom too many when the end of May arrives. You need not use your propagating bench for these cuttings, as bottom heat is not necessary. Fill some of your tulip flats with two or three inches of sand and make them your propagating beds. It gives precisely the same conditions for the next five or six weeks and you can move the flats to any convenient place, to a cool house, for in- stance, and delay potting off until time and room are at hand. In advising the taking of cuttings of all zonal geraniums last week I said that the sweet-scented, variegated, bronze and tricolor varieties we pre- ferred to put in the propagating bed or sand, so don 't delay in getting them in, and putting them in these flats is rather better than the bed, for after being rooted they will do another month very well in a cool, light house without pot- ting off. Lifting Bouvardias. Bouvardias should be lifted and re- moved to the house without delay. They make roots in the pots or bench quieter when surroundings are*warm than when chilly. These bouvardias need very care- ful lifting. Their roots are very deli- cate and success in lifting them will de- pend on how few of these roots you lose. If they have been planted in a sandy loam they will lift well at any time, but if in a clay loam and the weather has been dry you will have to give them a good soaking over night and lift the next day. If you care only for one crop of flow- ers from these bouvardias, which is al- v?ays easily had for Christmas, then they will do very well in G-inch pots. But if you have a house that you can keep at 60 degrees, then five inches of soil on a bench is much the best place for them, for after a good crop of flowers around the holidays they will make a strong growth and you will get flowers again ^n March and on. In lifting these tropical plants save all the roots you can and spray them five or six times a day, for the first week, but the need of that will depend largely on the weather. If they have been stopped or pinched within a week or two they won't need any iffiore, but if that has been neglected, then pinch the strong, leading ehoots as soon as they are established after lifting. Stevia Serrata. Another plant of a very different na- ture which can soon be lifted and potted is the sweet stevia, or Stevia serrata, the only one of its tribe worth growing. Many florists, perhaps, think this not profitable to grow, but charge enough for its spikes of feathery flowers and it is as well worth houseroom as are sev- eral other things and we are repeatedly asked for it. It is a rampant grower and little plants planted out in early June are now eighteen inches high and as much across. Although it should not see the inside of a greenhouse for a month, it is well to pot it now, in 6-inch or 7-inch pots, and stand in a shady place a few days. After its recovery from the lifting stand or plunge them in the full sun and leave them there until signs of a frost. You can hustle in a great many plants if they are in pots, even by moonlight, at short notice, but if to be dug it is a different chore. Of all times that this flower is appreciated it is at the holi- days, so keep them out of doors as long as possible, for if too early under glass they are out of flower before the sea- son. Don't Delay. There may be other plants you wish to save for the winter and which must be lifted. Do not delay. They root quicker while the soil and atmosphere are warm than in chilly October. I no- ticed in Philadelphia a large grower of Deutzia gracilis, which he grows on his own grounds and does not import. He had his stock of these lifted by the middle of August. This was new to me, for all deciduous hardy shrubs are moved after the foliage is dropped. I readily saw the object of lifting and potting these deutzias so early. They were kept sprayed and shaded for a week or two and then went on making roots and became established in the pots and were in very much better order to force for Easter than plants lifted after all root growth had stopped and too often dried out during winter. Think this over. It may apply to many other plants that we are too late in lifting. "William Scott. GENERAL NOTES. It is high time now that any stock that may have been planted outside should be lifted and potted. This should be done at once, so that the plants can get well rooted in the pots before the flower buds are swelling. Give them a large enough pot so that the roots are not crowded or broken. Shade them for a week or so, keep frequently sprayed over and these plants will hardly know that they were shifted. The plants on tl^e benches should be kept tied up straight, because, after the bud is taken and the stem is getting harder and more woody every day, un- less the shoots are straight they will be apt to snap off where they are tied, and a crooked stem detracts from the value of the flower. Side shoots and suckers multiply with amazing rapidity after the bud is taken and these should be kept pulled off if one is desirous of concentrating all the energies of the plant in the proper di- rection of flower production. Buds should now be taken right along as they appear, as there is no longer any question of not getting the right bud. Any bud that appears from now on will develop a perfect flower without any trouble. In the case of stock that is being run with the idea of getting flow- ers as lute as possible this woiilt} not, of course, apply, as the idea in that case is to wait until the last bud appears, which will not be for some weeks yet. Now is the time to see that the early buds (which, in the case of Merstham YelloAv and odd ones of other kinds, are just showing the first tinge of color) are absolutely free from black or green fly or red spider. Fumigate lightly, but persistently, until you are satisfied that the buds are absolutely clean, as one fly left now means a numerous progeny be- fore ■ the flower is developed. In cases where the green fly is numerous I have dusted the bud very heavily with to- bacco dust, which is generally effective in its operation. Many flowers are annually spoiled by red spider and not infrequently its pres- ence is entirely unknown to the grower, unless he watches his plants closely, and knows red spider when he sees it. One grower last year sent me samples of his flowers that had been "struck by blight" which, on a close investigation, proved to be nothing more or less than red spider. It seems to suck all the substance out of the petal, leaving it limp and worse than useless, and spoils the whole flower in a few days. Look under the foliage, up near the bud, and if any spider is present put a sprayer on the hose and wash each plant indivichially. All this may, perhaps, ^^^^S^W^^" ^ 868 The Weekly Florists* Review. September 7, 1005. seem unneceBaary- to the average grower, who may figure out that he can syringe his plants aby time and clean them up in good sefttob. He may and, on the other hand, he may get busy with some- thing else and forget it, and next month, when a dry atmosphere is essential in the mum house, he may find himself in a position where, if he sprays his plants, he runs the chances of spoiling lots of flowers by dampening the petals, and if he does not spray he will lose his flow- ers by insects. A stitch in time saves nine. Feeding. September is. the month when feeding is necessary and when it does the most good, because now the bud is swelling and will appreciate all the feeding, in reason, that is given to it. The chrys- anthemum is a gross feeder, but at the same time care should be taken not to give a strong dose at any one time, or it will rot the feeding fibers of the roots and do far more harm than good. There are a large variety of fertilizers in use by the experts and the results at- tained by their intelligent use are re- markable. Growers of European train- ing rely a good deal on Thompson's chrysanthemum manure, ichthemic guano and Clay's fertilizer, all of which are standards of British manufacture, safe to use, easily applied and always satis- factory. A light dusting once a week over the soil is the usual way of apply- ing these fertilizers. Some growers are getting remarkable results from the use of Bonora, a liquid chemical preparation made in this coun- try and of which we may hear more later. Other chemicals, as previously mentioned in these notes, are nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia and sulphate and nitrate of potash. A safe propor- tion of any of these is one ounce of chemical to four gallons of water, and they are best applied alternately with liquid made from the natural manures of the cow, sheep or horse. It would seem to some, perhaps, that one good fertilizer, if it contained all that a plant needed, is sufficient to use, but when one sees at an exhibition the splendid flowers set up by growers who use a wide range of fertilizers, as com- pared with the stock of the grower who does not, one is forced to conclude that it pays to "change the feed" for the mum. The question of how much to feed or how often I cannot answer, as it must be governed by the growth of the plant. When the leaves get very brittle and al- most black in color it may be assumed that the danger signal is being set, and when, as often happens, the neck of the flower splits and half severs itself, it may be taken as an indication that feed- ing should cease entirely on the variety affected, the semi-decapitation of the bud being nature's way of checking the excess of sap Avhich is rushing up to the bud too quickly. A variety, like William Duckham, that makes strong growth and thick, fleshy leaves does not need and, in fact, will not stand so much feeding as will weak- er growing kinds. There are so very many points to be considered that, as I said before, I can- not say definitely just what proportion of feeding a plant will stand, but there is no plant grown that will so well repay intelligent study in this direction as the chrysanthemum. Charles H. Totty. WHITE FLY. Among the chrysanthemum 's enemies we do not see mention of a small white fly about the size of the well-known green fly. Tobacco smoke does not af- fect it. Is it the little white fly referred to as getting into vegetable forcing houses in winter? Is there a remedy other than hydrocyanic acid gas? E. B. The little white fly referred to is the same insect that attacks tomatoes and other vegetables under glass. It is a species of aleyrodes, probably vaporari- orum, commonly termed the snowy fly. I have not hitherto heard of its being found in any quantity on chrysanthe- mums, though in some sections it is a perfect pest in greenhouses. As this grower states, tobacco smoke does not touch it and the only remedy in desperate cases is the hydrocyanic gas. This fly, in common with many, other insects, may be prevented from getting much of a foot- hold by a vigorous and persistent use of the hose several times a day in bright weather. C. H.

Will you please tell me what are the best hot weather varieties? We get no frost in winter here, so that the best summer varieties in the United States should do well under our conditions. C. G. The varieties that seem to stand warm weather best in our climate are about as follows: Flora Hill, Queen Louise, The Belle, Moonlight and Indiana Mar- ket, in white; Mrs. Lawson, Crocker and Floriana, for pink; Flambeau, Estelle and Cardinal for scarlet. Enchantress holds up fine in light pink and Pros- perity comes white in warm weather and holds up well in size. I would not confine myself to these varieties, how- ever, as sometimes we find that varieties do finely where we would expect them to do the least. A. F. J. Baur. FERN CULTURE. [An essay by Wm. Scott, gardener to Mrs. Joseph Eastman, read before the Tarrytown Horticultural Society at Its August meeting.] Fern culture is a subject far too ex- tensive to be treated in anything like a comprehensive manner in an essay such as this, so I will not attempt to go into the matter fully, but will take up that portion relating to greenhouse cul- ture, which, I think, will be of most interest to the majority here. Propagating; From Spores. The raising of ferns from spores is at once the easiest and most convenient method of increase with varieties that adapt themselves to this means of prop- agation. The selection of the spores is necessarily the first step. , This with some of the varieties requires strict ob- WHiiwMi.iiui..niH;!ij . ■ '•-■K/'J'!'* ■•"■'.'•»•" SlIPTEMBEB 7, 1905. The Weekly Florists' Review. 871 servation and some little experience to catch them just at the proper stage. Though as a general rule ripeness is indicated by the sori turning brown or beginning to shake off, some of the genera, notably the davallias, shake their spores much more readily than othsrs, and the inexperienced are often apt to delay too long and gather, instead of ripe spores, fronds with but empty cells. The fronds when gathered should be wrapped closely in paper and laid in a dry, warm place for a week or two until thoroughly dry, after which the 8por«s can be readily shaken off. The general opinion is that the sooner thsy are sown after being thoroughly ripened the better, but although not usually necessary or practical to keep them for any length of time, I have sown spores of Pteris tremula that had been wrapped up in paper for two years with satis- factory results. Another somewhat difficult matter is to procure spores of the individual va- rieties true or unmixed. Fern spores are of such a light nature that the least breath of air will carry them all over the house, the spores of one variety finding lodgment on the fronds of an- other. I have sown spores from adian- tum fronds and reaped, instead of adian- tums, an excellent crop of pteris, where the spores had got mixed in this way; the adiantum spores were there, but the pteris, being the stronger growing and quicker germinating variety, it was sim- ply a case of the survival of the fittest. The lesson thus learned is to keep the varieties by themselves and as far away from others as possibla for some time previous to the selection of spore fronds. Preparing Seed Pans. The next thing is the preparation of the seed pans. These should be thor- oughly cleaned to insure that no germs of moss or fungus are left. A great deal of what is known as damping-off has its origin from this source, being the work of a minute fungus. Fill the pans about one-third full with crocks, larger ones in the bottom and those on the top finely broken; over this place a layer of moss, then fill to within an inch and a half of the top with ordinary potting soil. Over this place half an inch of soil which has been subjected to a baking process long enough to kill all vegetation in it. This insures against the growth of moss, which in unbaked soil would be more rapid than that of the ferns and prove a source of consid- erable trouble. This baking of the soil was at one time one of the secrets of fern cultivation, but it is now pretty generally practiced. The surface soil in the pan should bs pressed down and made as smooth as possible. A good soaking of water should be given and allowed to drain off before sowing the spores. Sow these thinly, 1 may say, very thinly. The spores being very minute, it is an easy matter to sow too thickly without be- ing aware of it. Don 't cover the spores but place over the pan a close-fitting pane of glass. The glass must be turned frequently to prevent the moisture from dripping, which would throw the spores all into little bunches. Water must never be given from the top, but the pan should be set in a saucer, which should always be kspt full and from which sufficient moisture will be drawn. The best place to start the spores is in a close atmosphere, in a bottom heat of from 60 to 65 degrees. Shade should Floral Piece by August Peterson, Now Designer for tlie Woodland Park Floral Co., Seattle, Wash. be provided during the day, but should be removed when the sun is not shining directly on the house. In from ten days to three weeks, according to the variety, the surface of the pan will assum? a green, mossy appearance. Transplanting. If the spores have been thinly sown it may not be necessary to transplant until they begin to throw up the little fronds, though they gsnerally require transplanting before that stage is reached. For this trarsnlanting phallow flats are the most suitabh, a loose, sandy compost being provided. They siioulU be lifted in small bunches on a wooden label, which has been rounded and thinned down on one end for the pur- pose. The back of the label is pressed down into the soil sufficiently to make a little hollow receptacle and, when withdrawn from below, leaves the little clumps in proper position without hav- ing to be touched by hand. They be- ing of a very fragile nature, the least touch will bruise th?m. Some don 't believe in watering at this stage, but I make it a practice to sprinkle them lightly after transplant-, ing and find no bad results from it. I always, however, use water a£ a tem- jierature of about G5 degrees. Cover- ing with glass will be necessary for some time after transplanting, but this should be gradually removed as the little fronds gather strength. Shading must be strict- ly attended to through all this stage of their growth, as a few minutes sun- shine would work irreparable damage. They must also never be allowed to suf- fer from dryness. When the plants begin to get crowded they should be potted up into thumb pots, using a compost of lot^m, leaf- mold and sand in about equal .portions. The P!anj9:^ii^, tjot bg jgnoled^out in- 'di vidually, ^'b^ i^ -V§ot|;e#; 'i^m i«*r five together will make servic'ea'ble plants much quicker. For subsequent pottings (which should be given just ag soon as the pots they are in are well filled with roots) a rather heavier, moderately en- riched soil should be employed. Ferneries Ever Popular. Eaising from spores is by far the most convenient way of keeping up a supply of small ferns, the demand for which seems to be rapidly on the in- crease, they being extensively employed for filling fern pans, small vases, etc., for house decoration. The demand for certain classes of plants or flowers is «,pt to be controlled te'a'j greater or le* extent hy fads or fashion, ' but the fern pan seems to me to be one of those things that are not going to be lightly cast asiilo, for when my lady buys a nice pan of ferns she knows that ahfi ■'^KT''" 872 The Weekly Florists^ Review* September 7, 1005. has something that is. going to last, and look good for qutte'^ a " while, whereas she can spend as much money for a bunch of flowers which tomorrow is cast into the ash barrel. So to maintain my lady 's interest the chief consideration in the selection of varieties should b3 their standing qualities. This, combined with gracefulness of frond and compactness of habit, gives an ideal fern for the pur- pose in hand. Stiff, heavy-leaved va- rieties should be avoided. If I were to enumerate all the va- rieties suitable for the purpose I have no doubt they would fill a good-size book. But 1 am sorry to say that the varieties generally met with are not very numierous; a few seem to be run on and few , of the growers seem to make a break to get away from the old rut. I am sure it would pay the grower who would have enterprise enough to keep on procuring and trying varieties dif- ferent from what are commonly used. They need not be new varieties, for there are hundreds of old ones to pick from which are worthy of a trial. Larger Plants. About six months from time of sow- ing is usually required to give useful ble, and if it is intended to grow them into specimens they should be kept mov- ing just as fast as possible, as the size of plant does not depend so much on age or size of crown as it does on length of frond, and to procure this the chief agencies are intensive culture and quick growth. Most ferns can be materially assisted by the application of liquid manures, but these should not be applied unless the pots are pretty well filled with roots; otherwise the residue not utilized by the plants would have a tendency to clog the soil and cause sourness. Propagating by Division. Most ferns adapt themselves to prop- agation by division, but this is a slow method with some, and when they come readily from spores need hardly be prac- ticed. Some, however, notably the nephrolepis, can be propagated very rap- idly by offsets, and some, notably Adian- tum Farleyense, can only be propagated by divisions of the crown. This latter variety is one of the most beautiful ferns we have, though one that is rather dif- ficult to grow. One of the chief causes of failure with this variety is the lack of heat in winter. It requires a tem- Edwin Lonsdale. size plants in a night temperature of about 60 degrees and a day temperature of 75 degrees. In stronger heat they could be grown in shorter time, but it does not pay to rush them, as they would not be so compact and bushy and would, of course, be much softer. Successional batches should be sown as required, as they soon become too large, and if confined for any length of time in small pots they assume a stunted and sickly appearance. Where larger plants are wanted they should be kept moved up as they need it and receive as little check as possi- perature of not less than 65 degrees to keep it growing even slowly. If sub- jected to a lower temperature than this the plants become stunted and it is next to impossible to get them back into a healthy condition, even with the higher temperature of summer, without break- ing them up and beginning all over again. Shade and Moisture. All ferns require shade trf a greater or less extent, but it is a very common mistake to have the shade too heavy. This causes drawn up, weakly growth, and in a good many cases spoils the individual character of the fronds from lack of proper development. All that is necessary in applying shade is to pre- vent the strong sunlight from burning or eating the color out of the fronds. Further than to prevent this, shade is unnecessary. Fresh air also plays an important part in maintaining the health of the plants. Although a dry atmosphere is not con- genial to their well-being, jievertheless fresh air is necessary to inaintain the strength of growth. When fire heat is being used more atmospheric moisture is needed and can safely be given by frequent sprinkling of the pathways and under the benches of the house. But, as soon as firing is discontinued, the atmosphere of the house naturally be- comes charged with moisture, and it is then necessary to keep air on both night and day to prevent condensation. When condensed moisture settles on the fronds it is sure to cause damping, especially to the younger and more tender ones, and when damaged by damp in their earlier stages they never develop their true character. Hardy Ferns. In conclusion I would like to say a few words in favor of the more general use of hardy ferns for beautifying the surroundings of the home. These adapt themselves to filling corners where few other plants will thrive, and we have a great many beautiful native varieties, besides a number of foreign varieties, that are quite hardy in this latitude. They will grow and thrive in any shady corner as long as they are not under tne dense shade and drip of trees. Many a corner that is now an eye-sore could be made beautiful by the erection of a rockery and the judicious use of hardy ferns. The expense would be a small item, as stones are not hard to procure and the rougher they are thrown to- gether the better they will look. The crevices can be filled in with any good ordinary soil and plants gathered from the woods to start with, though a knowl- edge of the growth of the different va- rieties is necessary to know where to plant them so that the larger growers won't hide the smaller. Once the rock- ery is established the collection of finer varieties can begin. When something more choice is procured some of the commoner ones can be pulled out and then by degrees a collection of the choicest kinds can be got together. GIRARD COLLEGE. The most progressive paper takes pleasure in giving its readers a brief out- line of the planting at Girard College this season, under the management of Edwin Lonsdale. The principal beds lie between the south gate and the main building. They were gay with tulips, pansies and daisies early in April and May. These were gradually replaced by geraniums, coleus, alternantheras and crotons until the work was completed by the middle of June. The effect is now very fine. The beds are laid out on turf, a broad central walk dividing them into two practically corresponding halves. To the right and left of this dividing walk stretch long beds of La Favorite gera- niums, white, edged with Achyranthes Lindenii and an artemisia resembling stellaria, the idea being to bring out the college colors of garnet and steel.

John G, Esler, Sec'y. TOLEDO IS IN LINE. On the evening of August 10 a few of the florists of Toledo got together and decided that it would be for the inter- ests of the trade to start a florists' club. They therefore agreed to meet again in two weeks, and in the meantime to make an effort to interest others in the pro- ject, with the result that about twenty- five of the florists of the city met Au- gust 24, and proceeded to organize what is to be known as the Toledo Florists' Club. After electing Geo. Bayer as president for one year, E. H. Cushman, of Sylvania, as vice-president, and S. N. Peck, secretary and treasurer, they adopted suitable by-laws and the work of organization was completed. Toledo now takes her place with the other progressive cities in the work of advancing the interests of horticulture. As our city already has the reputation of being one of the finest convention cities in the land, who knows but we may be able to offer sufiicient inducements in the near future to persuade the S. A. F. to visit us? And if so we know they will not go away dissatisfied. Any person having anything to offer that would be of interest to our society can address S. N. Peck, secretary, 1707 Broadway, Toledo, O,, and the same will be presented for the club's consid- eration. S. N. P. THE READERS' CORNER. The White Fly. For the benefit of ' ' Hoosier, ' ' who inquires for information about this pest, I can say that we have tried to extermi- nate it with hydrocyanic acid gas, and have probably been as successful with this method as others are; but, while it kills nearly all the mature insects, it is dangerous and expensive, and does not kill the eggs; and soon there is another horde to destroy ; and if the gas is strong enough to kill the fly, it is likely to in- jure the foliage of some of the plants. If "Hoosier" will make a strong soap suds, using any good laundry soap for the purpose, and syringe the infested plants with it, using force enough to knock the plants over if necessary, he will (lestrc y most of the insects, and by repeating the treatment once or twice, he can soon eradicate them; and this without danger, and at little cost, W, T, Bell.

Vegetable Forcing. LARVAE OF MAY BEETLE. 1 am greatly in trouble with a white grub and feel that you can tell me how to get rid of it. I have a large straw- berry bed which I dressed heavily with horse manure. Now the plants are all dying off, so I dug into some hills and found white grubs, such as grow in sods. Will ashes of hard wood spread on the ground have any effect on the grubs, or is there anything that will? 1 am having bad iuck with m3lons; they die off rapidly but there are no grubs. J. H. W. The grubs complained of are no doubt the larvae of the May beetle. Under .circumstances like these it is a hard thing to get rid of. The female beetle lays its eggs in the soil three or four inches below the surface, usually select- ing a place where the young won 't have far to go for food. One female Is said to lay nearly 100 eggs at a time. It takes the eggs about fifteen days to hatch, after which they soon begin to scatter around and feed on the roots of whatever plants are nearest. The grub is soft and not hard to kill if it can be reached, but the trouble is to reach it and not injure the plants it is working on. A dressing of lime will kill them, or watering the soil with a solution of nitrate of soda at the rate of one ounce of soda to five gallons of water; or the nitrate of soda could be sown on the ground at the rate of 2.50 pounds to the acre. This would also be good for your strawberries, but seeing that they have just had a heavy dressing of manure probably the lime would be the better in your case; about fifty bushels to the acre ought to do the work. This should be spread evenly over the surface of the .ground and well around the plants and hoed in ^11. This will destroy all the grubs>it reaches but of course under the crowns of the plants it would not be possible to reach them with anything strong enough to kill without injury to the plants. Your melons are likely attacked by a fungous disease for which, so far as I ^ know, there has been no practical remedy found. The season has a good deal to do with it. Dry weather and heavy night dews are congenial to the spread of the disease. The dews leave just enough moisture on the leaves of the melon to insure the development of the spores. Bains would wash the spores off the foliage into the soil, where they could not develop. Last year in most locali- ties there tvas very little trouble from this disease because the season was un- favorable to its development, but for the three preceding years the disease was very destructive and this year it seems to be again general. If the plants could be covered over to keep the dews off them I have no doubt the disease could be averted, but until some cheap and easy means of covering can be devised the crop would not pay for the trouble. W. S. Croydon. MATERIAL FOR MUSHROOM BEDS. It is a great advantage to the mush- room grower if he is so placed that he can procure a plentiful supply of fresh horse manure, so that he can get enough material within the space of three or four days to make up a bed. Where the supply is limited it is a case of collect- ing little by little and keeping it turned over and over to prevent violent heating, and even with the utmost care a good deal of the more valuable properties of the manure are lost through evaporation and the manure is often rendered too dry for best results. Even though the manure can be had all at one time it is necessary to keep turning it for a few days to prevent burning, until the most violent of the heat is spent. If soil is added to it at the rate of one load of soil to five of ma- nure it will assist considerably in the cooling down of the manure and save a good deal of labor in turning, getting the mixture in a fit state for making up the bed in a great deal shorter time. A good, friable loam that can be finely broken up is the best to use, and it should be in about a medium state of moisture, neither too wet nor too dry, but just in that condition that it will readily absorb ammonia from the ma- nure. The retention of this ammonia by the soil lends to the mixture considera- ble lasting properties not present when manure alone is used. Considerable diversity of opinion ex- ists regarding the advantage or disad- vantage of the presence of litter in the mixture. Our own experience is that there is no need of being too tight-laced about the matter. The chief disadvan- tage of its presence in quantity is that it prevents the proper firming of . the bed, but when soil is used the danger of this is pretty well overbalanced, as when soil is present in the mixture it packs much more easily. There can be no hard and fast rule laid down regarding the exact condition in which the material is most suitable for making up the bed, as weather con- ditions and the amount of moisture in the material itself have a good deal to do with the heating properties of the mixture. Experience alone must be the teacher. After the bed is made up it should develop a heat of from 105 to 110 degrees, so by taking this as a guide and watching the temperature of the bed the operator will soon come to learn the best condition in which to use his material. If it fails to rise to this, make up a little sooner; should it exceed, wait a little longer. W. S. Croydon. FLORICULTURE IN THE SOUTH. [A paper by R. Nicholson, Dallas, Tex., read before the Society of American Florists at Wnshlngton, Angnst 17, 1905.] I have been asked to write a paper entitled "Helps to Floriculture in the South and Southwest. ' ' This is my first attempt in this line and I feel sure that a great many of those assembled here today would be much better able than I to do the subject justice. However, I will do the best I can and hope that the information I have gained from experi- ence will be of some benefit. I will give you the methods which we have found the most successful in the growing of a few plants in the south. The Pansy. When I came to Texas, about fifteen years ago, pansy seed used to be sown in the spring and by the time the plants were large enough to set out the weather was so warm they did not do anything. Now we find the best time to sow pansy seed is in September. The seed is sown in frames covered with lath sash. It is a good idea also to lay old sacks or bur- lap over the beds, to hold the moisture till the seed germinates, for it is usually very warm in the south in September. After the seed germinates, the sacks can be gradually removed. The lath sash are left on, however, till the plants have a good start. We then transplant to other frames, in good, rich soil, where they stay all winter, without any protec- tion whatever, although we often have very cold weather, 15 to 20 degrees and over of frost being very common, be- sides very cold north winds. I planted a bed of pansies last De- cember where they were to bloom, and they stood all the cold winter and bloomed better in the spring than any I had ever handled before, which I at- tributed to the plants being small when planted; they made root all the winter and when warm weather set in they were ready to put their strength into flowers, instead of having to try to both bloom and grow, as when they are planted in the spring. Pansies bloom here in February, March, April and May, depending on the season. They can be followed with ger- aniums, hibiscus, salvias, verbenas, plumbagos, petunias and lantanas, all of which will bloom till frost cuts them down. Sweet Peas. Sweet peas used to be planted here in the spring, like pansies, and by the time they were growing well the hot weather set in and burned them up. People used to say, "It is no use to try to grow sweet peas in Texas." Now, however, we have learned differently and grow as fine sweet peas as anywhere. The best time to plant in this part of the south is in December or January, some people planting in November. The ground should be well prepared and forked deep before sowing. Sweet peas stand a great deal of cold weather. They begin blooming here about May and last until June. The weather then being very warm, the red spider gets on the vines and they soon die. We have tried several of the dwarf varieties but have had very poor success with them. Hibiscus and Plumbagos. Hibiscus is one of the best plants for the south, as the hotter the weather the better they like it. We find that we have best success propagating hibiscus in July and August, the cuttings being just right at that time. The plumbago is another plant that does exceedingly well in the south, as it blooms best during the very hot weather and makes a beautiful show. Plumbago capensis is the best. We propagate them in summer also. When we get ready to propagate, we cut all the blooms off the plants, and as soon as the young shoots are large enough we use them for cut- tings and usually have very good suc- cess. We try to get a heel on the cut- ting when possible. We root lemon ver- ■PWT^9PIW«|P?fW .If VPHP. i imtm J ' ■, . . 11 1 mwjnmf'Hii. > Htim'M'y .^ v WiJ*'P 'V* '}■ • *_- ' . i; '* " T"?' ■» * ™ ^ VJ,«T'J' '^ ■ SsPTKMIiER 7, 1905. TheWcckly Florists' Review. 875 bena about the same time and in the same way. They malte fine growth here in the south, and are highly prized for their delightful odor. Cannas and Other Bedders. Cannas grow beautifully in the south and are almost hardy here. They re- quire no protection, unless it should hap- pen to be a very severe winter, when a little mulching is all that is necessary to protect them. Dahlias do only fairly well, the climate being too hot for them. Gladioli do fairly well. Lantanas are like hibiscus and plumbagos, as they enjoy the hot sun and bloom all summer. Bananas grow finely here. A bed with a banana in the middle surrounded with caladiums or cannas makes a rich tropical effect. Salvias make a beautiful display and stand the sun well. Verbenas stand the climate to perfection and bloom all sum- mer and sometimes go through the win- ter. Geraniums are very popular in the south as everywhere else. A great many varie- ties, however, will not stand the hot sun and have to be shaded. The varie- ties I have noticed that seem to stand our climate best are Spaulding's Pet, A. Kicard, Heteranthe, Single Grant, La Favorite, Jean Viaud, Lizzie Ham- ilton, Mrs. E. G. Hill, Castellane and Jacquerie, the latter being one of the most beautiful dark crimson geraniums we know of. Various Plants. Clematis Jackmani and C. paniculata grow and bloom well here. Violets begin to bloom in January and continue up to about the end of March. The single are the only kind that do well, but they are fine. Poppies, dianthus, phlox and corn- flower seed can be sown in the fall here. They then bloom very early in the spring. Balsam, cockscomb, larkspur, nastur- tiums, petunias and vincas do well here and will bloom all the summer, from seed sown in the spring. We have had for several years quite a demand for hardy plants that do not have to be replanted every season, so we tried a great many kinds and find that the following list do well here and seem to stand our climate : Achillea The Pearl, bocconias, peonies, helianthus, holly- hocks, perennial phlox, platycodon, rud- beckia, Stokesia cyanea, tritomas, Pyre- thrum uliginosum and Shasta daisy. We have a number of other varieties planted for trial. Bulbs. Hyacinths do best planted in Decem- ber, as when planted earlier they some- times grow too fast and get the tops killed. Tulips do only fairly well. Nar- cissi of all kinds do first-class. A Frenchman by* the name of Eevershon, who lives near Dallas, has about a quar- ter of an acre planted in bulbs, some of them having been planted twenty years ago. And he grows as fine hya- cinths, narcissi, etc.. ns T havo ever seen grown from imported bulbs. Hulbs are growing several hundred feet away from the field, where the seed has washed with the rains. This goes to show that the land is well adapted to the raising of bulbs. Quysanthemums. We grow as fine chrysanthemums in the south as are grown anywhere. In the southern part of Texas they are grown entirely outdoors. Some growers cover their beds with cloth during the blooming period, to protect the flowers from the weather. At Waco, Tex., in the central part of the state, they hold a show every fall, and if some of our northern florists were to see the mums they grow there, they would be surprised. In this section of the state mums are planted in beds out- doors, and, during the blooming period, they build a cheap framework over the beds, which they cover with cloth to pro- tect the flowers from the weather. No artificial heat is used. In northern Texas, the weather being colder in the fall and winter, we plant on benches under glass for single stems. We also plant in solid beds, taking the sash off the houses during the hot weather. The plants that we grow in solid beds we give from three to five stems and get very good-size flowers which sell to good advantage. As soon as the weather begins to get a little cool and the buds begin to show color, we put the sash on, giving abun- dance of air all day and using a little heat at night if the weather happens to get cold. Outdoors they bloom very nicely in the late fall provided we do not have an early frost. People in town cover them at night when there is any prospect of a frost, and in this way prolong the blooming period. Cut mums sell here at from $2 to $5 per dozen. Oklahoma grows good mums also, in about the same way as we grow in northern Texas. Roses. The south is famed as being the land of roses. Tea and hybrid tea are the kinds that are grown mostly here. They are all perfectly hardy with the exception of a few varieties, such as Perle, Sunset, etc. These sometimes gst winter-killed when very young in this way: During the hot weather the roses do not grow very much and in the fall when the weather is cool, they put on a young, tender growth and bloom freely. When in this condition we sometimes get an early frost, about the latter part of October, which weakens them and they then die during the cold weather in the winter. I consider the hybrid tea as being by far the best type of rose for the south, being more hardy than the tea, and first-class bloomers. We grow Kaiserin outdoors for a white rose for cut flowers and have never seen anything yet that would compare with it. Bride and Bridesmaid do very well, also a great many other kinds that are grown for show only. Meteor mildews easily and is only good in very hot weather. La France grows to perfection. American Beauty is the best rose of its kind for out- doors, as it blooms continuously from April until winter sets in. It is a very profitable rose to grow. Gruss an Tep- litz has a very rich color and is fine for massing outdoors. It comes almost sin- gle, but the color is perfect. Hybrid perpetuals are not grown very much. Paul Neyron and Mrs. John Laing do well. I planted 3,000 roses in my back yard a year ago, as I wanted to have the prettiest back yard on the street. I planted 1,000 Kaiserins, 1,000 Beauties, 500 La France and 500 Meteor, Bride, Bridesmaid, etc. I cultivated and ma- nured the ground well and had fine roses up till frost. I then pruned them back to within six inches of the ground and mulched them heavily with well-rotted manure. This spring when they started to grow, I disbudded the Kaiserins and Beauties, and at Easter I cut as fine Kaiserins with two to three-foot stems as I have ever seen grown under glass, and the flowers were solid and of fine color and had perfect foliage. I cut from 500 to 1,000 fine roses every day for several weeks, and my back yard was ths admira- tion of the neighborhood. I like the Kaiserin best for an all-round rose. Beauty next. Eoses are not much grown under glass in Texas, but it is only a question of time till we grow all the roses we require during the winter . months, as they can be grown here just as well as in the north. Gu-nations. Carnations grow well in the south and if anything are more popular than roses. We grow all the standard varieties. They are treated practically the same as in the north. We plant them in the field in April and bench them in August and September. Oklahoma is growing very good carnations and the florists there sell all their surplus in Texas. The reason carnations are grown here more than roses is because they do not ship long distances as well as roses, so we buy our roses in Chicago at present. A good many carnations are still being shipped to the south, but it will not be long before the south will produce all it requires and have a surplus. What we need in Texas mostly now is a few first-class greenhouse establish- ments to grow cut flowers on a large scale for the retailers. The south is coming to the front very rapidly, espe- cially Texas. The demand for choice cut flowers is increasing wonderfully, and people here demand the best flowers that can be bad and are just as hard to please as people in the larger cities in the north. Our people are also willing to pay a fair price for a good article. Texas at present buys a great many cut flowers during the winter, and Chi- cago is the principal market from which we draw our supply. However, new es- tablishments are being started from time to time and it will not be long till Texas will be shipping flowers to other states. Eoses will also be grown here in the winter after a while, as soon as we get some larger establishments started. A company has just been organized here with a capital of $250,000 to engage in the nursery and florist business. They intend putting up a large range of houses, so we hope we will soon be able to get all the flowers we want in the winter at home. ROSE J. B. CLARK. The rose novelty of the day in England is a hybrid tea named J. B. Clark. The flowers are of large size, cup-shaped, with very broad rich scarlet petals of good texture and velvety in appearance. It secured the silver medal of the National Eose Society as the best hybrid tea in the nurserymen's class when shown by Hugh Dickson, Eoyal Nurseries, Belfast. There can be no question that it is a grand acquisition to the hybrid tea class, and removes the stigma that hybrid tea roses were entirely confined to pale varie- ties. J. B. Clark has a much larger bloom than Liberty, and is equally as fine, if not a better color, so that this rose is bound to take a prominent posi- tion.

Tlie Market We have had a good deal of rainy and cloudy weather of late and the quantity of stock coming in has cleared out quite well. Roses are more abundant. Brides and Maids of the new crop are plenti- ful, selling at from $1 to $2, best grade fetching $4 to $5. The best Kaiserins still make up to $8. Beauties are im- proving, but many seen are of poor color. Liberties are rather scarce just now. Carnations are in very short sup- ply, many telephone orders at the mar- kets and wholesale houses having to be declined. The best flowers are grown outdoors. Prices vary from $1.50 to $3. Asters are abundant, the white and light pink shades selling the best, red and magenta shades being hardest to move. Some extra fine flowers have made $2, the general run going at from S.l cents to 75 cents. Gladioli remain about the same. Asparagus and adian- titm are more abundant. Various Notes. H. M. Robinson & Co. report business in their class of goods as excellent. They are now booking orders for a new crop of southern smilax. Patrick Welch returned September 7 from his vacation at Old Orchard Beach, Me., in fine trim for the coming busy season. Farquhar & Co. report an exceptional- ly heavy inquiry and demand for all the more popular Dutch bulbs. H. T. Capers will handle pot plants for W. T. Walke, of Salem, the coming sea- son at the Park street flower market. Although there was no prize exhibi- tion at Horticultural hall on September 2, A. L. Johnson and W. G. Winsor made fine displays of dahlias. These flowers continue to increase in popu- larity here. The Mycological Club had a capital show of fungi. Welch Bros, are getting ready for the fall season. The employe98 are about all back from vacations, ready for the com- ing rush. They report asters and roses as plentiful, but carnations very scarce. American Beauties from Carl Jurgens, Newport, R. 1., are excellent for the sea- son. A number of local horticulturists have been invited to visit the New Hampshire Experimental Station at Durham, Sep- tember 12, to inspect the work being done and the many interesting horticul- tural features at this institution. James Farquhar returned from Porto Rico August 31. He likes the Porto Rican climate and states that bulbs are doing well in their nursery there. Numerous entries are coming in for the big fall show at Horticultural hall, which opens on September 14. The dahlia display promises to beat all rec- ords. While sweet peas are practically over here now, on the North Shore estates they are still flowering finely and at Bar Harbor, Me., are a sheet of bloom. The auction sale of stalls at the Music hall market by the Boston Co-operative Flower Market took place on August 30. Stalls to the number of seventy-eight were disposed of, F. Simpson, of Wo- burn, paying top price, $82. Albert Roper and several others paid $75. In- cluding stalls disposed of previous to and after the auction, the number sold aggregates ninety-four, with a total premium of about $3,500. A call on Duncan Finlayson at Larz Anderson's fine estate in Brookline, the past week, showed everything to be in fine shape. Carnations grown this sea- son are Fiancee, Lawson, White Law- son, Chester Roper, Fair Maid, Queen and Enchantress. These looked splen- did. A bench of Richmond in one of the rose divisions looked vigorous. Chrysanthemums, both in pots and as single stems in boxes, were looking well. In a corridor house tuberous begonias and achimines were making a gorgeous show. Coelogynes, La^lia anceps, Cattle- ya labiata, calanthes and other orchids were very promising. Three divisions are devoted to grapes. One had been cleared but in the remaining two there was a fine crop of finely finished fruit, bunches and berries large. Varieties noted were Muscat of Alexandria, Dia- mond Jubilee (rated low here), Appley Towers, Lady Downe's, Barbarossa, Black Hamburg, Gros Marse, Gros Col- man and Black Alicante. The fine Italian garden, the best type of this class of gardening in America, was very attractive with a variety of annuals and perennials. Two large beds of Nicoti- ana Sanderaj in a shaded position looked better than any we had yet seen. In the open it was worthless. The multi- plicity of colors, some of bad shade, spoils to some extent the eflfect. As a general rule this novelty is condemned in this section. On the walls of the kitchen gaiden peaches were carrying splendid crops. These are all English varieties and are never protected. In the Boston Public Gardens some thousands of Lilium speciosum album and L. Melpomene are making a fine show at present. Rose Kaiserin Augus- ta Victoria fills several beds and is cov- ered with blooms. The croton beds are better than for several years. Nicotiana Sandcrae can hardly be called a success. At the new Bristol county fair, which opened in Taunton on September 4, there was a grand display of plants and flowers. Dahlias were shown in thou- sands by such prominent growers as H. F. Burt, G. D. Cooke, W. G. Winsor, J. K. Alexander, G. H. Walker, Clothier Pierce and other specialists. The larg- est and best of five displays of pot plants came from J. O. Christenson, gardener to W. J. Clemson. A. T. Story & Co. and the Dighton Nursery Co. had large collections of ornamental shrubs and tea roses in pots. Hand bou- quets, centerpieces and baskets were more numerously shown than ever be- fore. George Cartwright is now acting as salesman for H. H. Rogers, of Sudbury, a prominent grower of carnations and other flowers for the Park street mar- ket. In conversation with a number of prominent Boston horticulturists in re- gard to the proposed S. A. F. exhibi- tion in March, the general opinion has been that it would be bad policy to at- tempt such a show unless the rose and carnation societies were willing to hold their annual conventions and exhibitions at the same time. Boston has a big an- nual spring show each March and we think it extremely doubtful if such a one as projected would be the success hoped for here. New York would seem to have been the proper place to hold the show, seeing it had no other shows or conventions in the first quarter of 1906. S. A. F. officers and committee- men are announced to attend an earlv meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club to explain what is wanted. We have made complaints on some occasions of a lack of rain during the present season. A good deal of the de- ficiency was made up on September 3 and 4 when a precipitation of from two and three-quarters to four inches of rain vt-as recorded in this section. Outdoor flowers in most cases presented ^ a sorry plight when the storm ceased. Not for many years had we such a Labor day deluge. John McFarland is shipping quanti- ties of extra fine lily of the valley to the new market. Julius Roehrs and Thomas Knight, of Rutherford, N. J., have been visiting leading orchid collectors in and around Boston the past week. W. N. Craig. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. While business has been quiet locally, there has been a fair demand from out of town. Beauties, valley, asters and. choice tea roses are most popular. Glad- ioli are marketed in large quantities. Dahlias are coming to the front, the bet- ter sorts being obtainable in larger quantities, a fact the buyers are begin- ning to appreciate. Indications point to an early improvement in business con- ditions. New G>nservatory in Fairmount Park. Nearly everybody knows the old lec- ture room in the west end of Horticul- tural hall, where Prof. J. T. Rothrock used to delight select audiences with learned discourses on botany every Sat- urday afternoon during the summer months. The casual visitor would see a couple of lovely ladies, ardent admirers of the professor, arrange a bouquet of choice flowers on his desk, then the au- dience would assemble and listen in rapt attention while he expounded the genera and species and kindred lore to the accompanying rustle of palm-leaf fans and an occasional snore from a weak-kneed brother or sister. Now the lecture room has gone and in its place is a lofty conservatory, just completed at a cost of $10,000. The conservatory is "L" shaped, about 45x75 feet, with glass roof and glass sides on the west and south. The large center bed, raised to a mound shape, pebble covered, is filled with various kinds of cacti, many of them recently received from Arizona, it was said. They are effectively arranged with shells. A wide side bench, running around the entire conservatory, is completely filled by Euphorbia Poinsettiana, twelve to eighteen inches high, in, I think, 6-inch pots. The whole presents a fine appear- ance and will prove of great interest to lovers of the cactus family. A Glimpse in the Warehouse. I wonder whether the florists all ov?r the country who send "hurry" orders for this or that requisite, ever reflect on the amount of forethought and knowl- edge of their needs, combined with busi- ness enterprise, that make it possible for their demands to be met on short notice. Every season the field must bs care- fully gone over, as by a general prepar- ing for the march of an army. An in- crease in the use of this or that article, the falling off in the popularity of an- other, all must be carefully noted. Then ^T TRip»P«|K->f^'|*'^»ll'J*-T'r^7.

The factory must produce certain goods in given quantities. The local market must Eupply some, the f or«ign markets others. Then the'rs are the novelties. Our floristp are greedy for new things, but they must have merit. Care and judg- ment are required in their selection, and knowledge gained by long experience. These qualities are Strongly marked in Harry Bayersdorfer. Annually he fills the great warehouses of his firm with the world's products in florists' supplies which are annually distributed among the florists of this country. This pro- cess of filling starts about August 1 and goes steadily on until Decoration day, when there is a comparative lull, to take account of stock and breathe, as it were, for Bayersdorfer & Co. are tremendous workers and everyone, from the part- ners down to th3 newest helper, seems imbued with the spirit of work so neces- sary to success. Through the kindness of Paul Berk- owitz, the popular junior partner, I am able to give the Eeview readers a few ideas on the goods already in thS firm-s big warehouses. In "Toneware" vases Mr. Bayers- dorfer has made a decided hit. This odd name denotes a sort of pottery deep green in color and of a variety of forms most attractive to the eye. Mr. Ber- kowitz' description of "antique Pom- peian style" is fitting. Among the many crepe papers, the flowered plaited occupy a leading place. They show many pretty color combina- tions that will harmonize with the popu- lar plants. Bainbow baskets are very pretty, sug- gesting possibilities in arrangments of crotons, autumn leaves, chrysanthemums, etc. Copper pot holders are quaint little receptaclss that might be used as a hanging basket, though intended for a single plant. Soft green seaweed is being revived for shell decorations. It is graceful and full of charm. The leaves on the branches of the copper beech are so cleverly prepared as to appear perfectly natural. They will be a great aid to the decorator, who must not make a dirt, also possessing the ad- vantage of durability. Mr. Berkowitz has promised that the Eeview readers shall have another ' * glimpse in the warehouse ' ' later. Various Notes. The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving fine Beauties from Myers & Samtman. Stephen B. Greene has accepted a po- sition with H. Bayersdorfer & Co. The flower market received, on Wednesday morning, September 6, the first cut of roses from the new John Burton place. Berger Bros, are pleased with their new quarters at 1235-37 Filbert street. They have their ice-box in place and are putting the finishing touches on their other arrangements. May they prosper is the wish of their friends. A pair of shapely bay trees mark the entrance to W. E. McKissick's. Inside the bright salesroom everything was in order on the opening day. A goodly number of consignors had sent in a nice lot of flowers. Local and out-of-town buyers were buying — they don't always do that, you know — and the genial pro- prietor was receiving callers. A cozy private office upstairs, and a rear en- Harry Bayersdorfer. trance for express boxes on Cuthbert street, are especial conveniences. William J, Baker personifies the old adage, "Duty first, pleasure after- wards." He is a great worker. Eugene Bernheimer has returned from a week among the florists up Lancaster county. M. Rice & Co. have engaged three new salesmen, one each for the city, the house and the road. Miss Miles has taken charge of the Flower Market books during Miss La- throp's absencQ on her holiday. Some of the stores were closed part of Labor day. Hugh Graham gave his force a much-enjoyed half holiday. A. Farenwald, of Hillside, has in- creased his planting of Liberties, cutting his Beauties down to one house. His stock is all planted in solid beds and looks very vigorous. Mr. Farenwald has a new rose on trial. You may smell and guess but not handle. ^ Watkis & Nicholson, of Hammonton, N. J., are encouraged by the outlook for the coming season. Edward Towill, of Weldon. has added one house 90x150 feet planted with Lib- erties and has raised and broadened an- other, Mr. Towill 's stock is in fine shape. He has 750 Richmond that are full of life. His two-year-old Beauties, cut back, are showing remarkable growth. Joseph Heacoek, of Wyncote, has one more house each of Beauties and Lib- erties this season. A new sectional boiler is being in- stalled at Horticultural hall in Fair- mount park. It will heat the new cactus conservatories and also replace two other boilers to be taken out of commission. J. F. Hunter, of Mount Holly, N. J., is thinking of moving to Collegeville, Pa. The Ideal Salesman. The Review realizes that the position of a cut flower and plant salesman is one of importance to the grower, to the wholesaler, to the retailer and to the consumer. The Review believes that a high standard among the salesmen will do much to promote the interests of all those who buy or sell cut flowers or plants, and to promote harmony among them. The Review therefore proposes a prize essay competition similar to that held by the S. A. F. under the follow- ing conditions: The subject of the essay shall be "The Ideal Salesman." • Kuch competitor shall mall his essay, un- signed, on or before September .'Wi, 1JK)5, to I'hll. care of any of the wholesale cut flower houses 111 this city. Kach essay must be unsigned, iicoompanled by the writer's name and address in a sealed eiiv(>lope. This enyelope will not be opened until the awards have been made. The essays and sealed envelopes will be num- bered when received and the a winds will be submitted to a competent Judge. Ills awards will be announced In the Review of October 12.

William Copley, who is credited with liaving built the first greenhouses in this vicinity, died August 30 at his residence, 69 Floyd street, where he still carried on business in a small way. The de- ceased, who was 89 years old, was a great iover of flowers, and when quite young was a gardener on tlie estates of dift'eront wealthy men in Ireland, where he was born. He came to America in 1855 and started a greenhouse in a small way on Cripple Bush road, which is now Park avenue. He raised many new varieties of roses, and as his busi- ness increased he erected new green- houses until he took in the entire block < ; i!^v"'). 1?^ Jt, .,"'•'»'';;% '.N 878 The Weekly Florists' Review, September 7, 1905. bounded by Nostrand, Park and Marcy avenues and Floyd street.

He was a widower, his wife having died twelve years ago. He was survived by two sons and two 'laughters. NEW YORK. The Market. Never did the flower trade in New York speed more gladly the parting guest than when it said good-by to August, a month that will, go down in metropolitan floral records as "the worst ever." For low prices, abun- dance of stock and stagnation of busi- ness, wholesale and retail, it has never had an equal. The end of the" week showed no improvement and Sunday and Labor day saw a premature equi- noctial storm that was almost a flood. Stock of all kinds is abundant, ex- cept orchids and carnations. Of roses, asters, gladioli and hydrangeas there is no end. The buyer is king and his dic- tum as to the value goes. An offer is snapped up more quickly than an old maid says "yes" when she knows her last chance has come. Oncidium vari- cosum is in evidence, excellent in quality and demand. Various Notes. Carl Jurgens, of Newport, is send- ing some fine valley to McManus. John Young's windows were resplen- dent ^aturdaj' with cactus dahlias, grand stock from the headquarters at Cottage Gardens. Gunther's additional room is for chrysanthemum display. But it will be large enough for about everything in the phenomenal season that all antici- pate. The Sigmund Geller Co. has added a neat office to its store on West Twenty- ninth street and has the facilities for a iarge business. George Saltford is back from his stay at the old home amid the Rhine- beck violet factories, bronzed and. healthy, looking much like the great Russian diplomat, Witte, and quite as diplomatic in his dealings with all classes. Geo. Cotsonas & Co. have been re- ceiving and putting in cold storage an immense quantity of ferns and other ' ' green goods ' ' for the winter demand and find their big store none too large this year for their increasing business. Alex. Guttman moves to 43 West Twent3'-eighth street on Saturday, Sep- tember 9, where he will open his new wholesale store with appropriate cele- bration three A\ceks ahead of his first in- tention. Kline & Starkey will take possession of Mr. Guttman 's old premises, at 52 West Twenty-ninth, street, the same day. Thos. Young, Jr., opens his new wholesale store at 43 West Twenty- eigiith street, occupying the whole floor above his old quarters, this week, and Phil Kessler also begins active business in his handsome place above Young & Nugent 's. » Birthday celebrations are in order. J. K. Allen passed his fiftieth milestone on August 20 and Louis Schmutz went him ten better a few days later. Both are as lively as two-year-olds. The clubj meeting Monday night promises a big attendance. It will be ift the nature of k reuMion after the three months' vacation. Mr. Nugent promises the needful articles with which to properly start the ship in motion. Pres. Traendly will take the helm for the closing months of his captaincy and will try to steer the ship into a peaceful harbor. John Birnie will probably dis- course on the "Ideal Employer" from a practical standpoint and there will be eloquence on the convention and other topics sufficient to interest the most blase of the club's membership. The exhibit of herbaceous flowers should be a large and interesting one. There will be no bowling in the afternoon, but a new bowling club will soon be formed. Wm. H. Donohoe left on Sunday for Saratoga, where he has charge of the decoration of the Grand Union Hotel for the carnival week. The entire effect is in red.

Two men had been busy some days on the work before Mr. Donohoe 's arrival. Some large decorations are reported from Newport. Three weeks will about close the festivities there and by that time the metropolitan wheels will be in motion. The schedule of prizes for the seven- ty-fourth annual fair of the American Institute is published. The veteran. Dr. F. M. Hexamer, is in charge. Medals, diplomas and certificates are numerous. The fair will last four days. A good many $100, $50, $40 and $30 prizes are listed, the total reaching into the thou- sands, and about everything in trade exhibits is enumerated. One sign of fall that never fails is the opening of the auction rooms for the sale of horticultural goods and another week will see both Wm. Elliott & Son's and Cleary's Horticultural Hall in full blast. Next week Tuesday and Friday the melodious voices of the criers will be heard again, doubtless more melif- luous and persausive than ever. Bro. Gillett, of Cincinnati, drifted into town last week after a dip with his family in the brine at Ocean Grove and Asbury. He thinks it beats the Ohio for flavor, but the perfume of Anheuser is missing from the air. Mr. Gillett thinks Dayton an ideal spot for the convention. Thos. Langton, of Brooklyn, has joi^ied the rheumatic featernity ' and* with Lo|enz and Harry' Bunyard. has had a h*rd fight with the enemy.? The wholesalers in Brooklyn are all hopeful as to the coming season. Craw- buck & Wiles have a great abundance of everything stored away in "green goods" and are reaching out for a ship- ping trade and getting ready for it. Their growth has been a rapid one and the need for just such a store in Brook- lyn has been amply demonstrated. Hicks & Crawbuck, the wholesale cut flower and supply men, will move to 76 Comb street, Brooklyn, next month, where they will have increased facilities for their business, with 6,000 square feet of floor space at their disposal. A call on Thos. Devoy & Son, of Poughkeepsie, found the violet housing making rapid progress and the stock exceptionally fine. Telegraph geranium is especially brilliant, notwithstanding the storms and the early chill, and the demand for this great novelty continues. Some excellent stock is being shipped daily. Mr. Devoy, Sr., has been quite ill, but is again well and wonderfully ac- tive for a man in the seventies. Mr. Saltford 's fine place on the lead- ing avenue of the city of Poughkeepsie never looked better, his bedding work being especially attractive. His exten- sive greenhouses, in which he grows about everything, are not capable of supplying half the stock demanded by his retail store, where his sons are in charge. One of the boys was rejoicing in the advent of his first born and the other was at the Thousand Islands on his wedding trip when I called. Up at Hyde Park and toward Rhine- beck one hears little else but violets and every farmer has a house of them, or is going to have, and most of them are studying Geo. Saltford 's handy little volume, "How to Grow Violets," or else have already mastered it. It was an enormous responsibility to write that book. One realizes it when he gets where the people use it more than the Bible in their family devotions. The Japan Daily Herald, of Yoko- hama, printed in our own language, has a full page in its August 5 issue de- voted to the Yokohama Nursery Co., with illustrations. The amount of land devoted to irises, lilies, sago palms, con- iferae and other nursery stock is very extensive. Mr. Suzuki places his expor- tations of lily bulbs last year at over four millions and of fern balls 150,000 and iris 100,000. Greenhouses have re- cently been added. Over 5,000 bales of sphagnum moss are used yearly for packing. Considerable space is devoted to the description of the wonderful dwarf trees, of which this firm sends many thousands yearly to America. J. Austin Shaw. Junction City, Kan. — An evidence of the growth of the people's apprecia- tion of flowers is the increase in amount of glass in small towns. In 1898 the Junction City Floral Co. started with 1,000 square feet of glass. Now it has 12,000 feet. General greenhouse stock is found there but cut flowers are the principal stock; 4,000 carnations, 1,000 roses, 600 mums and a house of violets. They supply the local trade and neigh- boring towns. llHWfl|WUi.«'^,"f|!!'.>1 '.'",.'! ■i'(!isJiJ,(*i^''X^ ' ■m ■ ■'^rmr" -wyiP^t^Tiryit-T- Septembee 7, 1905.

The close of last week was very quiet, but cooler weather has brought a short- ening in receipts and an awakening in business. Monday was Labor day and saw practically no city demand but ship- ping was fairly active and handled with great difficulty. The express companies suspended service, both in and out, on that day, and the wholesalers were com- pelled to go to the depot for incoming stock and with out-going shipments. The result was that a great many orders were cut more or less. Though supplies have shortened, there continue to be good receipts of Beauties, both quality and quantity equal to most requirements. With tea roses the few days of cool weather has done, something toward putting quality into ths stock, but it is still difficult to dispose of the large proportion of shorts. Chatenay is showing considerable improvement. Lib- erty is fairly abundant and a few Eich- mond are seen. There are enough carnations for all requirements and a considerable part of the stock is of fair quality. Some of the painstaking growers are cutting good stock in the fields in spite of the heavy rains. Other growers are beginning to bring in the first crop grown under glass, short of stem but fair in quality. Whits carnations have had the call. There is no diminution in the receipts of asters. The good ones are bringing fair prices, but too many short, small and yellow-centered flowers are received and must be sold, if at all, at very low prices. ^ There are not so many Easter lilies and very few album and rubrum are seen now. Valley is one of the short items, prices ranging up to $5 per hundred. Gladioli are still abundant but not crowding the wholesalers the way they have for a month or six weeks past. Green stock of all kinds is abundant. The wholesale houses are now open to 6 p. m. The Summer Business. The general report is that July and August were ahead of recent years. July was much better than usual with nearly all the houses and the same story is told of the first half of August, but the lat- ter half was no better than usual. Sev- eral of the commission men report hav- ing made a little money this summer and others say they escaped without loss in July and August, something quite out of the ordinary. The prospects now are for a fine autumn business. Poehlmann's Place. The Poehlmann Bros. Co. is grading at Morton Grove and has given Geo. M. Garland an order for iron gutters for the early erection next spring of the largest addition they have ever put up in a sin- gle season. About twenty-five houses will be built, ranging from 300 to 500 feet in length. A large part of this ad- dition is at what was the Adolph Poehl- mann plant before the incorporation of the company. Various Notes. The growers who have stock in the field are all complaining of too much rain. We have had five inches more than normal this summer and the excess keeps right on growing. They are very busy in the supply de- partment at E. H. Hunt's, working nights to get out orders. A handsome new catalogue recently put in the mails is a considerable factor. Wm, McKaig, formerly with the Geo. Wittbold Co., is now in the store of Weiland & Eisch. This firm is handling some especially fine tuberoses. Kennicott Bros, Co. has just redecor- ated its store in anticipation of the busy fall season. Johnson & Lundgren have bought out the old established business of McDougal & Neuman, 804 Milwaukee avenue. Mr. Johnson is of the firm of Johnson & Carlson. Mr. McDougal contemplates re- moving to California. The Martin Grate Co. is installing a number of its rocking grates for growers north of town. After trying three of them for several months Peter Eeinberg is putting in twelve more. Sinner Bros, are cutting the last of their first crop of Harrisii from cold storage bulbs. The first made low prices but the last few weeks brought up the average. They plan a steady supply. The three Poehlmann brothers and their wives were the rear guard of the returning conventionites. They reached home September 2, after visiting a num- ber of pleasure places and many of the best growers in the east. The Beach Amusement Co. will build a two-million-dollar amusement park at Harrison and Desplaines streets, in which gardening will play a more conspicu- ous part than in any other amusement park in America.

Evans, Eichmond, Ind. OWENSBORO, KY. Death of C G. Nanz. C. G. Nanz died of catarrh of the stomach at his residence here, on Au- gust 17. He had been ill for several months and for some time past his con- dition had been critical. He was well known and popular in Owensboro and other portions of the state where.^he had lived. C. G. Nanz was born January 1, 1843, in Quedlinburg, Germany, and was edu- cated in the same town, having gone to school every day in the year from the age of 6 until 14, with the exception of three weeks' vacation during that time. At the age of 21 he was examined for military service and found deficient in size and weight. On February 20, 1865, he sailed for the UnittJ States. He landed in New York on the day Abra- ham Lincoln was assassinated. On May 6, 1865, he came to Jefferson- ville, thence to Louisville. On arriving in Louisville he boarded a car for his brother's and the conductor refused to take the 5 cents paper money h» ten- dered for the fare, because it was Yan- kee money. He remained in Louisville for a number of years. He removed to Bardstown, where he formed a partnership with William Sel- ter and conducted a florist business. In the year of 1874 he was married to Frances Mattingly, of Bardstown. There are four living children, Benjamin D., Robert W., Katherine and Frances Grover. All of Mr. Nanz's relatives in the United States live |^ Louisville and Jef - fersonville. He leSVes one sister, Mrs. Katie Seaman, of Jeffersonville. He has conducted a florist business in Owens- boro for twenty-five years and built up a fine trade, having enlarged his busi- ness to the point that he entered the wholesale business. He took especial pride in floral designs and some of the handsomest designs ever seen in O^Yens- boro were made bv him. BUFFALO. The Qub's Outing. The absorbing event of last week was the annual outing and picnic of the Flo- rists' Club. This year the committee chose our old stamping ground, the Be- dell house, near the head of Grand Is- land in Niagara river. The weather was perfect, the voyage on the broad Niag- ara delightful, and the sports went off without a hitch. The attendance was good and only a few of the old heads were conspicuous by their absence. For the pleasant results great praise is due the committee of three who managed the whole affair. They were Rowland Clouds- Icy, W. A. Adams and Ed J. Slattery. A seven-inning game of baseball, East Side vs. West Side, was hotly contested and brought out lots of enthusiasm. The score was 13 to 9 in favor of East Side. Battery for the winners, Weise and Boetger; for the losers, Wm. B. Scott and David Scott. The West Side would have won had they been allowed to play Miss Ruby Mark at third base, for she can play all around most of the boys in any position and third base is her spe- cialty. The results in other contests were: Ladles' race — Miss Lucy Schafer, 1; Duble Mark, 2; LiUle Helnderick. 3. Special half-mile race— Won by Al Kelchert. Leap frog race, teams — J. Kramer and C. Knetch, 1; W. Grever and Ed Walter, 2; D. Scott and C. Belchert, 3. Standing broad Jump, handicap— William Gre- ver, 1; Ed Slattery, 2. Old men's race — George McClure, 1; J. Ven- nerman, 2; W.

Quarter-mile run open handicap — Carl Humph- rey, 1; Al Relchert, 2; J. Longley, 3. TTiree-legged race — Grever and Walter, 1; Relchert and Longley, 2. Billy Grever was the champion ath- lete of the day. Old Hoss Warring was missed at his usual place beside the keg, but in spite of his absence we managed to empty it. The leap frog race of 100 yards was new to our program and caused lots of iun. The three-legged race for big girls was a great success. The harness was adjusted by a, committee of very old men. At the conclusion of the sports we ad- journed to the spacious dining room of the Bedell house. Just 100 sat down and hard to please was he or she who was not pleased with the bountiful re- affairs. What is most striking at these gatherings is the new faces. We once knew almost every soul connected with the business. The boyg and girls grow up while we grow into the "has been" brigade. 1 regret to say that Mr. Schoenhutt, the very prosperous Williams street flo- rist, was taken down with that alarm- ingly prevalent malady, appendicitis, while Mrs. Schoenhutt was absent in Washington. He has been dangerously pick, but last accounts were favorable. Mr. Berkowitz, of Philadelphia, was in town and helped to make the picnic a success. There is very little business except for those who have gone before. Asters are in great abundance, roses and carna- tions improving every week. Was there ever a carnation like En- chantress? Plants lifted from the field in early July are now producing flowers with stems a foot long and fine in size and color. W. S. ^(XEVELAND. The Market. The outlook for a good early season is very encouraging and many retailers are booking nice orders for fall weddings and receptions. There is nothing of a startling nature on the horizon, but present indications point toward pros- perity. Shipping business is looming up somewhat and the home dsmand is on the increase. Good stock is still very limited, with C G. Nanz in His Greenhotises at Owensboro, Ky. past. A little talk was indulged in liy W. F. Kasting, who called upon W'. S. for "a few remarks," who congratu- lated the club on the election of Mr. Kasting to the presidency of the S. A. F. and asked for their loyal support of Mr. Kasting during his administration, for the coming year will mark an epoch in the society. The many prizes were next distributed. Then came two or three hours of the "light fantastic" and then a delightful sail home. Taking it all in all, it was the most successful of all these annual a healthy demand. Roses are gradually improving and a few more weeks will see some good stock. Carnations are be- ginning to arrive from indoors and are a welcome addition to the cut flower line. Outdoor asters of the Semple variety have suffered considerably this s3ason from the aster beetle, whole crops being ruined. One grower reports a loss of over $200 from this dreaded pest.

Eoses, after a short period of rest, are making strong breaks. A few hundred Gen. MacArthur are extra fine. Carnations could not look better, being an exceptionally healthy lot of plants, full of buds and flowers. The varieties are Lawson, Boston Market, Enchantress, Crane, Flora Hill and the old stand-by, Francis Joost. Nephrolspis in variety are -well done. The new Scottii is a little beauty and should be in good demand. Piersoni is hard to beat, but needs to be a large plant to show off its fine quali- ties. Bostoniensis is still the best seller and is most in evidence. A fine batch of Lilium lancifolium, both rubrum and al- bum, have produced a very profitable crop. Mums are always a factor on this place and are in prime condition. Here we found asters outdoors in perfection, being the Semple variety at that. Hand picking is the only remedy for the beetle. Mr. Hart has had a vary suc- cessful year's business and many changes and improvements are being planned for the next year. Isaac Kennedy, of West Park, while visiting a neighboring florist and raturn- ing home, had a very narrow escape with a runaway horse. He was laid up for several days, but I am pleased to report he is able to attend to business and in- cidentally manage his campaign for councilman. Here's hoping ho gets there. The J. M.

Business has been rather dull the past week. The asters took a jump in price, extra fine ones bringing as high as $2 per hundred, good, long-stemmed white ones being especially scarce. The mar- ket is simply flooded with short roses in all colors, while good, long-stemmed roses are very scarce, particularly pink. Bride and Bridesmaid are very poor at present, the best selling at from $4 to $5 per hundred. Some pretty fair carna- tions are to be seen and, although they are small and only medium in length of stem, they find a ready sale at 75 cents and $1 a hundrsd. The outlook is for a busy season and it remains for cooler weather to start business, by killing the outdoor stuff and also bringing the so- ciety people home from the summer re- sorts. The State Fair. The grounds where the Michigan State Fair is to be held are alive with hundreds of men, most of whom sleep on the grounds. They are getting the new bmldings ready for ths opening day, September 11. Superintendent F. E. Skeels says the fair will really be a great exposition, covering 145 acres. The Michigan state building from St. Louis has been brought here and re-erected to serve as an office and art gallery. The remaining buildings will be mainly of steel and cement construction, including a steel grandstand with a seating cap- acity of 6,000 people. Greening Bros., of Monros, as well as other large nurserymen have already ap- plied for space on the grounds for nurs- ery exhibits. Professor L. E. Taft, state inspector of the nursery and or- chard division of tho Board of Agri- culture, has arranged for four lectures a day, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Various Notes. Norman Sullivan has returned from the east, but "J. F. " is still at large. Sickness entered the home of James Taylor, of Mt. Clemens, causing the loss of a daughter four years old. Mrs. Tay- lor was also very ill, but we are glad to hear she is on her fest again. Having had rather cool weather, car- nation plants are looking fine. Violet plants also give promise of yielding a good crop this season. It has been rumored that we are to have a new commission and supply house. Although we already have two good wholesale houses, there is always "room for one more." Miss Clara Schroeter has been , spend- ing the past week at Mackinac. Brother florists are very glad to hear that Herman Knope, foreman at Breit- meyer's Mack avenue greenhouses, who has been very sick, is getting well, "slow but sure." "Jack" Carey, of Mt. Clemens, paid us a visit last week. When asked how his mums were he replied: "Rotten, but Taylor has three houses of fine plants." That is Carey's way every time. No one ever heard him say his own stock was looking good, although it generally is. August von Boeselager, of the Bath City, was also in town last week. H. S. NEW ORLEANS. Plan Interstate Society. The florists in this city have given much thought to the plan for the for- mation of an interstate horticultural so- ciety, along the lines suggested by C. R. Panter in his address at the twentieth anniversary banquet August 24. Many of the leading florists were approached and asked for their opinions on the sub- ject and seemed a unit in advocating tho organization of a society which would take in all the southern states and bring this section of the country into closer business relations. C. W. Eichling said he was in favor of the idea, as he thought it would be productive of much good. There are no wholesale florists in the south, according to Mr. Eichling, and he was of the opin- ion that if such a society were formed there could be stimulated enough com- petition among the dealers to warrant the larger firms in extending their business and handling the wholesale as well as the retail departments. The plan of action to be followed, in Mr. Eichling 's opinion, was to send out communications to every florist or horticultural society in the southern states, and where there were no societies the individual dealers ^i^ummifmmi^ «iil' j» tiMWKffjfifmmmifW'K^' \j.iimm»f)^w iiii|, mmy, m^f^^/^i>*'^fl'K. »Mlf>!:^:'t'm^^* '.»f?»'»i!W^iy^ Ji-,\HrtgyTi^y y-W\iW.^-''A"ff-'K)ug- las Robinson, grown by Peter Duff and John Gervin respectively; specimen adiantum grown by A.

November 6 and 7 were set for the fall show, schedules of which were distrib- uted, and the exhibition committee was empowered to secure a hall. The October meeting will have a spe- cial dahlia exhibit. J. B. D. WASHINGTON. Special Qub Meeting. A special meeting of the Washington Florists' Club, the first since the con- vention of the Society of American Flo- rists, was held August 26. President Wm. F. Gude called the meeting to order, a majority of the members being present. Preliminary reports from the chair- men of various committees were made, all tending to show that expenses for entertaining were well within the appro- priations. J. E. Freeman, of the finance committee, gave evidence of net gains upon advertisements in the souvenir book. Geo. H. Cooke, superintendent of exhib- its, had a favorable report to make on the amounts accruing from space charges. The treasurer, W. H. Ernest, who was also the chairman of the bowling com- mittee, Z. D. Blackistone, chairman of shooting, and Wm. F. Gude, chairman of reception, each had the same general story to tell. Letters of congratulation from visitors were read by the secretary, Peter Bisset. The whole tone of the letters confirmed the statement that the Washington flo- rists had, in the matter of entertaining, surpassed all previous meetings of the national society. The hit of the evening was the speech of E. C. Snyder, who presented the dia- mond bowling medal to the champion individual bowler, Charles L. Seybold, of Baltimore, whose score was 513. By some mistake the medal, which was made in New York, was not ready on the last night of the convention. L. B. Burdette stated there is a movement on foot to organize a local shooting team of Wash- ington florists. Adjournment was to the establishment of .J. R. Freeman, where, with all the ac- companiments of a stag party — song, speech, food and drink — felicitations of success were exchanged. Stae. Business at present is beginning to pick up a little. Quite a number of people are returning from their vaca- tions. Roses of all kinds are coming in quite plentifully but prices are low. Good tea roses bring from $2 to $4 per hun- dred, Beauties from $1 to $3 per dozen, but are a little scarce. La France and Pres. Carnot seem to be in favor. A few good carnations are putting in their appearance and prices range from 75 cents to $1.50 per hundred. Palms and small ferns seem to move well. Those in small sizes sell from 25 cents to $1. Convention matters have nearly all been settled up and from all indications the convention has been a success, both socially and financially. Otto Bauer, who has been confined to the hospital for a long time, is rapidly recovering. Several of the overworked members of the local club are off on their vacations. F. H. K. TOLEDO, OHIO. Qub Doings. Our new Florists' Club is beginning to live. We have eighteen paid-up mem- bers and have a number more coming. After the business part of our last meeting we had a general discussion of matters pertaining to the trade. George Bayer brought down a few asters that originated with him. They are very double and look similar to a Pink Perfection chrysanthemum. Every- body present thought that a field of them would be a good thing to have. He also brought a few roses, Maman Cochet, White Cochet and Kaiserin. All of them showed good culture. Our next meeting will be held at Lib- erty hall on Wednesday, September 20, at which time we hope that every mem- ber will bring in a new one and thereby double our present membership. Various Notes. In a trip around the city we noticed some fine Begonia Gloire de Lorraine at the Scottwood Greenhouses, of which T. Magee can justly feel proud. His roses and mums are also in good shape. At Armin Suder's, out at Manhattan, we found the boys busy finishing up car- nation planting. The earlier planted houses are looking good and promise a fine crop. The city will spend $12,000 on an ad- dition to the conservatory at Walbridge park, so as to have more room for large i plants and also to provide winter quar- I ters for the sea lions. The new building will be 50x80 feet and fifty feet high, ! TO be built of steel and glass and steam heated. E. A. K.

Packing and delivery at cost. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The past week the weather has been very hot and trade dull in all lines. Now that we are turning into the autumn season better business will be looked for. The receipts of flowers at the whole- sale establishments are about as usual at this time of the year, with prices rather low for the quality of stock that is seen. Eoses are beginning to look better, showing longer and stronger stems and the buds firmer. Carnations too, are showing better blooms and longer stems, from under glass. Asters are still coming in big lots, with the best flowers selling well. Common stock is generally kept over for cheap work. Plenty of good valley is to be had. Dahlias are beginning to be plentiful and are already accumulating in the hands of the dealers. Tuberoses are also more than the demand calls for. In greens, smilax, asparagus and maidenhair fern are wanted in only limited quantities, also plenty of common ferns and galax. Various Notes. A. C. Canfield, of Sprinfield, 111., was a recent visitor. Miss Badaracco has been very busy of late, with funeral work, having all the work for the funeral of L. M. Eum- sy, one of the richest men in St. Louis. Miss Badaracco will leave this week for West Baden Springs for ten days of much needed rest. Charlie Kuehn, W. J. Pilcher and V. Gorley were the last of the St. Louis party to return from the convention. August Schuerman, of the Schuerman Floral and Decorative Co., has a new Christmas bell made of birch bark, for which he claims he has taken enough or- ders to ship east to keep him busy right up to Christmas. Frank Fillmore's place, on Nebraska avenue, is in fine shape. All his stock is good, especially the roses and car- nations, from which much is expected for the fall trade. He is prone to quote the wis3 sayings of great men and says that "a true Christian is a man who prays for rain when he knows that damp weather gives him rheumatism. ' ' The new place on Meramec street is doing quite well. A. G. Greiner's place on the Natural Bridge road has had many visitors this summer. He has on exhibition 14,000 cacti. Mr. Greiner claims to have the largest collection in this country. James W. Dunford, out in Central, has everything in tiptop shape for the fall season and from his houses of carna- tions, roses and violets he expects great things this winter. Henri Theodore Antoine Hus, experi- menter, and Miss Florence Thiell, assis- tant herbarian, both of the Missouri Bo- tanic Garden, were married on Wednes- day of last week. Cupid's other victims in the garden were Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Irish, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Norton, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Thompson and Mr. and Mrs. George McClure. They say that the sixth wedding is looked for very soon. Don't forget the club meeting next Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. This meeting will take place at Weber's nurs- ery, in Gardenville. The secretary's no- tice will explain how to get there. Presi- dent Juengel and President-elect Am- mann are looking forward to a large attendance. C. A. Kuehn, F. M. Ellis, H. G. Bern- ing and George Angermueller, our four wholesale men, attended the S. A. F. convention. Since their return all are hard at work putting their places in shape for the opening of the fall trade. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Dietschy, of Al- ton, 111., left last week for an extendsd trip through the east, for both pleasure and business. A. Diecks, representing Jansen & Co., New York, called on the trade the past week. Nick and John Himmers, out at Mera- mec Highlands, are busy completing five new houses 20x100. When these are com- pleted the Himmers will have 150,000 feet of glass, used for roses, carnations, violets and smilax, from which the trade can look for good stock this winter. Mr. Zirkmann, representing M. Eice & Co., Philadelphia, made the rounds of the trade here last week. Fred Weber, Jr., left last week for an extended trip through the east on busi- nefs and pleasure. September 2 was the f?econd and last Sunday opening of this year at the Mis- souri Botanic Garden. The attendance was close to 17,000. The garden is in fine shape. The orchid houses and the tomb of Henry Shaw were the special attrac- tions during the day. Bowling. The St. Louis Florists' Bowling Club celebrated on Monday night, September 4. Their guests were Theo. Miller, Fred C. Weber and the DeSoto Florists' Bowl- ing Club. Six alleys were at the dis- posal of the many friends in the trade who came to do houor to our guests. There was plenty to eat, drink and smoke for all. The crowd was estimated at sixty and it was voted the most suc- cessful event ever got up by the flo- lists. Edwardsvile, Belleville, Kirk- wood, Central and DeSoto were well rep- lesented. A match of four games was played between St. Louis and DeSoto bowling teams, which resulted in favor of St. Louis by 312 pins.

L. lO^y, St. Paul; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual meeting will be held at San Jose, Cal., June, 1906. The report from France is of disap- pointment at the crop of radish seed. Marshal Drake, with J. Chas. Mc- Cullough, Cincinnati, ^«« reached homu after a European trip. EiCHARD Dean, the veteran London seedsman, died August 21, aged 76. A note on his life appears on another page in this issue. Eeports from the bean growing sta- tions vary with the location. Not more than an average crop is expected at any point and the outlook on the whole is for a comparatively short crop, owing to unfavorably weak and weedy fields. S. B. Dicks, of Cooper, Taber & Co., London, England, has been in Chicago the past few days. Mr. Comont, of Car- ter & Co., London, has also been mak ing the rounds in Chicago during the same period. The Gardeners' Chronicle says the seed harvest season in England has been one of the most favorable in late years. On light lands the crops have been rushed owing to the drought, but on the whole the crops promise a fair supply. Onions and leeka will be tht ■-r-; ■'A.*S"':nrT'"<7'3^- V r^^^T>^^*^* " "■»• ^'T**'*"^^^- 686 The Weekly Florists^ Review* SBPTRMItKU 7, 1005. scaniest articles, peas are generally worm-eaten, and the crops short. As to prices, however, much depends on the actual damage done by the exceedingly heavy hailstorms in the seed-growing districts of Oermany. Secretaky Kendei, has mailed to members the printed report of the twenty-third annual convention of the American Seed Trade Association, held at Alexandria Bay, June 20 to 22, 1905. It is r?)>orted that the cabbage sec- tion, from Chicago north as far as Green Bay, Wis., is not going to produce enough late cabbage to make kraut for Milwaukee, not to mention that Eacine and IS'eenah-Menasha will be needing a good supply. Market gardeners at some of the prin- cipal onion growing centers report the onion crop to be the poorest in many years. The stand was poor to begin with, the weeds worse to take care of than they ever experienced and to end up comes rainy autumn weather, which makes it exceedingly hartl to save what little remains of the crop. In the Chicago onion set districts the heavy rain of Septsmber 1 flooded many of the fields. The bulk of the crop that is harvested is still standing outside in the crates. Some of the growers had the •xjrates piled up and roofs on, which in a iineasure protected the onions; others had the crates piled up without any cover and the rain got into them. No special damage is reported, but considerable ex- tra labor in drying out will have to be put on, which will add to the cost of the crop. At many of the growing stations de- liveries of peas are reported to be later than usual. This is laid to the recent wet weather, which has kept the farmers busy saving their crops of other grain, as well as to the fact that those in charge of the receiving warehouses want ths deliveries held back to avoid taking in damp peas. Deliveries thus far made f»re reported to show an uneven size sample, all containing an unusually large percentage of small peas that will screen out in the milling. The John H. Allan Seed Co. has com- pleted its new warehouse at Sturgeon Bay, Wis. It is close to the site of the former building, which was destroyed by fire last fall. A feature of the new build- ing is a cement floor on the ground level, which will facilitate trucking to and from the dock in receiving and shipping and make easy work of getting the stock to the elevators. It is a convenient building, with all of the up-to-date clean- ing appliances. They still stick to the old-style picking table, preferring that to the picking machines that are tak- ing the place of the old tables in most of the new pea and bean picking estab- lishments. NEBRASKA SEED CROPS. J. C. Eobinson, Waterloo, Neb., writes as follows under date of September 2: ' ' Prospects for the vine seed crops in Eastern Nebraska have changed materi- ally in the last ten days. A blight or rust has cut the cucumber crop dow.n one- half or more from earlier expectations. Most crops will make 100 pounds to 150 pounds per acre, while in a few cases they will i)ot make enough to coyer har- vesting expenses. Musk melons have LEONARD SEED OaiOH SKTS.

Water melons are late but may yet make a fair crop. Squash, both summer and win- ter, have made a light setting but the vines are standing up well. "Early corn is out of the way of frost and will make a good crop. The later varieties are also looking well and have mad? wonderful progress in the last three w«eks. The crop promises to be good, but the sweet corn acreage is not over one-half that of a year ago. ' ' Another large Nebraska grower writes under date of September 5: "Vine seed crops have not been doing well f.or the past two or three weeks and the returns will be very much less than anticipated earlier. A spell of hot, dry weather the forepart of August caused the small fruits to drop off and the later setting is likely to be caught by frost. In some fields the vines have died out badly. The returns will depend to a great extent on the time and sever- ity of the first frost and it is hard to make estimates under present conditions. ' ' Early sweet corn will give good, fair returns, as will the later kinds if the fields mature, but many of them are rather late. Field corn will be just a fair crop, not being eared as well as usual. ' ' Obconica Primroses My New Hybridised Giant Flow- ered Strain ia now ready- in 8^-inch pots. Nice plants.

There is scarcely anything doing and all the retailers and wholesalers are complaining. An occasional order for a funeral is about all the demand there is. There is a large supply of stock, with prices away down. Beauty holds up the best of all. Other roses go very cheap. Some very good stock is coming now, cut from young plants. Asters are still in large supply. George & Allan are sending in some very fine blooms of Scra- pie's Branching aster and they sell best of all. The poorer grades are hard to move at any price. Lilies of all kinds sell fairly well. Carnations are very scarce and what come in are poor. Smilax is scarce but all other kinds of "green goods ' ' are plentiful. Various Notes. Geo. S. Bartlett is preparing to push his bone flour business, having just made a contract for a supply of the pure goods. Ed Foster has just returned from a trip through the west. J. B.

The members of the new firm are all well known Aus- tin men, F. T. Ramsey, the president of the company, being the proprietor of the Austin Nursery, the largest nursery in th3 state. A. J. Seiders, the manager, is a gardener of many years' experience, having laid out and had charge of many of the large public grounds and parks of the state and for the past three years was landscape gardener and instructor in floriculture and gard?ning at the College of Industrial Arts for Young Women,^ at Denton, Tex. Edgar Hall has been engaged in the florists' business in Aus- tin for a number of years and H. Q. West, who is also interested, is one of Uncle Sam's efficient postal employees. The firm is building three greenhouses 14x100, with a lean-to propagating hous^e and a boiler and potting shed.. Hot- water heating will be used. In addition to the propagation of roses and other stock for planting out in th» Austin Nursery, a general line of bed- ding plants will be grown and consider- able space will be devoted to growing cut flowers for the local market. A. S. NURSERY NEWS. AMERICAN ASSOOATION OF NURSERYMEN. Free., E. Albertson, Bridgeport. Ind.; Vlce- Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md. ; Sec'y, Geo. C. Seajrer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches- ter. The 31st annual convention will be held at Dallas, Texas, June, 1906. T. H. Peyton, of Mexico, Mo., is about to start a nursery at Boonville^ Miss. C. C. E. MoRDEN, Niagara Falls, Ont., is secretary of the recently organized association of Canadian nurserymen. C. L. Watrous, the wheel-horse of the Nursery Association 's committee on leg- islation, has come to the conclusion that we shall never achieve a practical federal inspection and quarantine law. The question of commissions to gar- deners should be settled, at least in New York, by the law which went into ef- fect September 1, making the acceptance of commissions a misdemeanor. If the American Association of Nurs- erymen could agree on a standard grade for all classes of stock, and it should not be so very difficult a scale to devise, the whole trade would be compelled ta adopt it and everybody would know where he is " at. ' ' A FEW GOOD LILACS. The lilac is perhaps, more than any other flower, connected with our child- hood days, and is on this account appre- ciated and loved in later years as our earliest floral acquaintance. Many flo- rists as yet do not realize the change that lias taken place for the better in the new varieties introduced of recent years, im- provements which are as great as has been made with any other flower. It will pay the florists to become better ac- quainted with them. The old purple and white varieties (Syringa vulgaris and S. vulgaris alba) usually grow, or sucker up into large lui5!hes, taking up much room, without blooming in proportion to their size. The newer kinds are usually budded, or ■ 'y-T^ry^yyr 'y» l"•,^ ^^jf^ '^'■ip$y--\''''^:--T>T^'Tr^9rt^^fr^jw^^7rv^-^'^;jfxT^.^ir. ^M^^j^-^yn^iyjmr.'T 896 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Septbmbkb 7, 1906. grafted on lilac seedlings or privet stock, thus keeping them on one stem, in the shape of small trees, and they are loaded with flowers in their season. When planted on the lawn they are eflfective when in flower. They are nearly or quite free from insect pests, and when planted in good soil will live and flourish many years. The following twelve varieties are all good kinds and will be sure to give sat- isfaction, and ar3 plentiful enough to be readily obtainable: Single Whites. Fran Dammann, a splendid variety; panicles of flowers very large; color pure white; of medium size. Recommended as one of the very best single whites. Marie Le Graye for the florist is a valuable variety; the cluster of flowers is large and pure white. ' it is invalua- ble for forcing. Villosa is a very distinct variety, with very large leaves and large clusters of flowers. It is at present perhaps more popular than any other lilac. Its flow- ers are fragrant, and as it blooms later than other kinds, it is much prized on this account. The color in bud is rosy pink, opening to white. Our friend C. S. Harrison, of York, Neb., in a recent article on lilacs, described it as purple. more so, perhaps, than any other lilac; a distinct variety with immense panicles of dark red flowers. We think it a most desirable kind and it is appreciated by all who see it. Double Whites. Abel Chatenay is a superb variety; panicles large and of the purest white; extra fine; one of th3 newer kinds. Mme. Casimir Perier is to our fancy the grandest of all double whites; pani- cles large and compact; flowers of pur- est white; a fine variety for forcing. Mme. Lemoine is an older variety than the two preceding and is better known. It has received first prizes and was highly recommended at the Paris Exposition; flowers large, compact; pure white; a sterling kind, sure to please. Doubk in G>Iors. Leon Simon is a good grower, produc- ing immense panicles of bluish crimson flowers. The buds are bright red be- fore opening. It is an extraordinary variety, one of the best of double lilacs. Michel Buchner is a somewhat dwarf variety; the panicle large and erect in growth; very double; pale lilac in color; very fine, distinct and desirable. President Gr^vy is tha best known of the new double varieties. The panicle Syringa Villosa, the Tree Lilac. The photograph reproduced, however, in- dicates that it is a white variety. Single Reds. Charles X. is a well tried, distinct and desirable kind, of strong, quick growth; leaves large and shining; pani- cle of flowers large; color a deep red- dish purple. Ludwig Spaeth is a strikingly distinct Tariety, with long panicles of dark, pur- plish red flowers; a superb kind, and we think the finest of its color. Rothomagensis rubra, or Rouen varie- ty, foliage like the Persian in shape and appearance. This kind is very showy, of flowers is superb, a foot in length; color a beautiful blue; the individual flowers are large, three-quartars of an inch in diameter. This is a great favor- ite among lovers of lilacs who know the varieties. John Chaei/pon. The American Pomological Society's postponed meeting and exhibition will be held at Kansas City September 19 to 21. The Rhus cotinus gives a fine foliage effect, and is sure to attract attention on any lawn. It is that form of the su- mach known from its peculiar flower ef- fect as the mist shrub or smofce tree.

Variegated Lawson Carnation A PHENOMENAL VARIETY. This beautiful carnation, wbicb we introduced last Bprinit, we are sure will prove not only tbe best variegated carnation ever sent out, but one of tbe moat popular and profitable carnations in any color that bave ever been Introduced. Tbe popular conception of a variegated flower ordinarily Is tbat It Is not so desirable as a solid color, but Variegated Lawson bas proved an exception to the rule, on account of its exceeding beauty and delicacy. If our own retail sales are any Index of tbe popularity of a variety, tben Variegated Lawson is bound to be a winner, as tbe flowers of tbis sold more readily than tbose of any otber variety. Aside from Its inherent value it will also be sought for on account of tbe Berisation which It created last season in the newspapers, its merits having been heralded widely in the daily press all over tbe country. The variegation is very beautiful— delicate carmine penclllngs on ivory-white ground. It has every good quality— beautiful flower, fine stiff stem, and Is exceedingly productive. W. N. Oralg, who is an authority on everything pertaining to borticulture, says tbat be knows tbat It will outbtoom that popular variety, Mrs. M. A. Patten, three to one. Tbe variegation Is very similar, but Variegated Lawson bas a much better stem and is mucb more productive. It has tbe Lawson babit and stem. White Lawson, which we Introduced last year, has proved to be tbe best white carnation ever put on the market, and we are satisfied tbat Variegated Lawson will be grown just as largely. Tbose who are growing moderate quantities of carnations and are obliged to grow several varieties In a house, will find it decidedly to their advantage to plant tbe different Lawson sports, as they all require tbe same treat- ment, and. consequently, will give tbe best results, A great many carnations are short-season varieties, but Variegated Lawson, like the rest of tbe Lawson type, bas a long season, as the flowers do wellduring the late spring and summer, when many varieties cease to beat tbeir best.

The most essential point in carnation culture is selecting your cuttings. Next important is preparing them and put- ting them in the bench to root. Every grower knows how to select his cuttings and put them in the bench, so following that, the point is to root the greatest possible number. I find from my expe- rience the key to success in rooting is to thoroughly soak the propagating bench at the first watering, being sure to have perfect drainage so the water goes right through. After that keep your house moist by syringing fre- quently during the day and at night. Never let the house become dry. This does not mean to soak the benches every time you look at them. On the contrary, avoid doing so. By carrying your house moist you will find you have very little watering to do on the benches except on spots where the sun or air strikes them. This applies to either bottom heat or natural heat. "With bottom heat you can carry air all the time, day and night, except in extreme climates. Another thing to guard against Antb carnations is stem-rot, as every grower knows. To grow immune planto I ad- vise putting cuttings in the sand deep. There is no danger from doing so only by water-logging them; and in the first fKjtting do the same. On the next shift raise your plants to the top of the ball. In one week you will find you have a stem from two to four inch'^s that will never be attacked by stem-rot. H. B. BOXING HARDY PALMS. It is a thoroughly wrong idea held by many gardeners that to transplant palms into boxes the winter or late fall is the proper season. This accounts for the remark often heard from men long years in the business, that they are afraid to handle hardy palms unless they are already growing in tubs or boxes. This comes from the fact that poor re- sults have been the rule in many cases where trees have been transplanted from the open. To box any of the varieties of brahea, washingtonia, phoenix, chamaerops or dracaena I have found the months of Au- gust and September to be the best time. It is not necessary to have a large ball of earth. A palm six feet high can easily be put in a box twelve inches each way and there is no advantage in making it an^ larger. We use redwood entirely and bore three or four holes in the bot- tom of the box. If the soil is dry when the trees are to be taken up, it is easy to scoop away about six inches from the top and give the soil a good soaking and transplant the following day. The ball of earth should be cut square and just enough smaller than the inside of the box to slip in easily. There is no necessity of sacking if the ground is not sandy. After the ball of earth is placed in the box it should be tamped around carefully with a lath and filled in with dry, pulverized soil and, when the box is filled, give another good watering. With the various kinds of phoenix I invariably tie in all the branches and leave them in that condition for six weeks at least. This makes the boxes much easier to handle and allows them to be packed closer together. With all varieties of braheas and washingtonia, all the leaves except three or four in the center of the plant should be cut off close to the stump. It does not pay to try to save the outside branches, as in- variably, no matter how carefully the transplanting is done, they will dry off and it is a much better plan to cut them off and save the palm the exhausting drying-out process. A new crop of leaves will immediately begin to grow and in a couple of months will have formed a fine crown. It is not necessary to cut back any of the varieties of chamaerops or dracaena in handling. When the plants are safely boxed they should be placed close together in a shade house or in a sheltered situation where draughts or hot sun will not reach them. They should be watered several times a day for a few days and after- wards once a day until they give signs of making new leaves. In this way it is possible to successfully handle ninety- nine per cent of your plants at a season of the year when most gardeners do not favor transplanting. I have found this to be the best month for this purpose and there is no comparison with the dif- ficulties encountered in trying to dig and box palms several months hence, at the season when such trees are at their most dormant condition and recovery after a setback is very slow. I do not make boxes for trees that average from six to eight feet over eighteen inches each way and for those that stand from eight to ten feet in the ground a box two feet each way is ample in size. G. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Midsummer trade has been most grati- fying and that wholesome, optimistic feeling pervades through all commercial enterprises. While decorative work is no small item, consequent upon so many noted people sojourning in our beauti- ful city, the call for funeral work is unprecedented. For six successive weeks it was a general clean-up and every flow- er that looked good to the public was money to the florist. Absence of rain for over two months is felt seriously here now and late outdoor stock is small and short-stemmed. Asters are monarch of the market and carnations have taken a vacation for a m6nth. Those who had the foresight to leave a bench or two of roses for summer use have been well rewarded. It has been demonstrated that it takes an expert to grow a continu- ous crop of sweet peas, but one grower will have them for six weeks yet. Various Notes. From the Lewis and Clark fair offi- cials we learn that the patronage to date has sustained all expectations and that visitors from afar are loud in their praises of our mountain scenery and glo- rious climate. We were favored with a call last week from Patrick O 'Mara, of New York, who is touring the western country. Mr. O'Mara was very entertaining, relating his experiences of the trip and saw much to interest him while here. We hope he • s|n«W^ir»'T>W»^ Septrmbkh 7, 1005. The Weekly Florists' Review* 89?

The Market There has been considerable funeral work during the past week but outside of this there has been very little doing. Asters and liUps are especially plentiful and for the former there does not seem to be as much demand as in former years. Lilies of all kinds, however, are good sellers and thousands of stems are disposed of daily. They cost the stores about $1 per dozen for the best quality and retail at about twice that price. Boses are only in fair supply but carna- tions are becoming a little more plenti- ful. Variottt Notes. A trip through the chrysanthemum district shows the fields in good shape and the chances excellent for an abun- dant crop beginning in a couple of weeks. This has been an especially fa- vorable season for the growth of the plants and they are now in heavy bud, excepting the later blooming kinds. The Chinese, as usual, have the bulk of this portion of the business. Frank Shibeley's new store on Polk street, near Sutter, is one of the most attractive establishments in that neigh- borhood. E. J. Wickson, of Berkeley, one of the best known horticulturists on the coast, has been given the important appoint- ment of delegate at large for the Na- tional Council of Horticulture. A visit to the carnation houses of A. Galloway, of Fruitvale, shows everything in good, healthy condition and the prom- ise of abundant blooms in the near fu- ture.

As the weather continues to keep cool and the society folks are com- ing back, social events are more numer- ous, giving quite a large amount of work for the decorators. As for stock, roses are in better shape and there is commencing to be a good, healthy demand. Beauties are very scarce, the demand exceeding the sup- ply. Carnations are hard to get. Some short-stemmed stock is seen, but the de- mand is light. Some very fine asters are on the market, with prices a shade better than formerly. There has been a large quantity of funeral work the past week and everything was pretty gener- ally cleaned up and the promises for future business are very satisfactory. Various Notes. The Geo. M. Kellogg cup, given by that gentleman as a trophy to be pre- sented to the florist making the highest score in a bowling contest during the week of the flower show, has been com- pleted, and is on exhibition at Mr. Kel- logg's store. It is a fine piece of work. Miss M. Dalley reports business as being very good the past week. Ed Tonquist has become an enthusi- astic bowler and is having dreams of gathering in that silver cup. The Owl Florists, who have not yet been quite a month at their new loca- tion, report business as increasing to a very satisfactory extent. They are stocking up with some very good ma- terial and are looking forward to a busy season. E. A. Humfeld is making quite an improvement in his store by putting in a new front. The Alpha Floral Co. reports business during the warm weather as all that could be expected.

Several of the re- tailers say they are booking some nice orders for fall and the general impres- sion is that we are going to have a good season. The markets complain that it is unusually quiet with them now. Boses are improving every day; bright weather, not too hot, is helping them. Carnations continue scarce, but asters are exceptionally fine and the carnation shortage does not cause any inconvsn- ience. Various Notes. Joseph E. Bonsall, of Salem, O., was a visitor last week. He is adding about 30,000 feet of glass to his place and will grow cut flowers exclusively for the wholesale trade. Geo. A. Heinl, Toledo, 0., was in the city last week and called on most of the trade in a social way. He says they all look good to him. He made a trip out to the Pittsburgh Rose and Carnation Co. and saw their houses 50x450 feet filled with clean, healthy stock, not an inch of waste room on the place ; a strictly up-to-date heating plant, their own gas well to fucAish fuel for the boilers and light all over the farm; also an oil well to contribute about forty barrels a day just to keep things run- ning smoothly; a hotel for the accommo- dation of the single men; fourteen dwell- ings, which will accommodate seventeen families ; a bowling alley for amusement ; several barns, storage-house, packing- bouse and everything which goes to make a strictly up-to-date place. Mr. Heinl says it is nearer his ideal than anything he has seen except the hills, but you know he is from the flat country and we cannot expect him to ap- preciate these as we do. Henry Wiggins was ths only repre- sentative of the trade in the Labor day parade. He had a float representing a river with a bridge; on the bridge was a crane with a broken bomb. This is a funeral design for structural iron work- ers and was with their division. Mr. Wiggins says structural workers never die. but are always killed by accident, which explains his design.

SCORES or FLORISTS USE Hammond's Grape Dust CHRYSANTHEMUMS AND CARNATIONS This comes from Wallace Gomsbsall, superintendent of the famous " Wodenethe," owned and finely maintained by Wintbrop Sargent, Esq., Flshkill-on-Hudson, N. 7.: " For chrysanthemums we use OKAPS DUST with the best results by freely dusting with it until the delicate blooms come, then we are a bit shy of it. to prevent any staining of the petals, but during the green state, even in bad weather, there is no trace of fungus, and we keep free of the spot. I have recommended it to many gardeners, and so far my acquaintances have found it very valuable. In ccmmon with many gardeners and florists, I have found it of great value in checking the rust on carnations. It is not expensive to use. for by using in air bellows it diifuses itself everywhere, and is in my judgment, a valuable every day article. For roses it is of exceptional benefit against mildew." How to Use Grape Dust for Violets, etc., in the Greenhouse. Fill the house with du.t as soon as the plants are set. and let it settle over the plants, or put one pound to a pail of water and spray it finely over everything, plants, ground, benches, etc. Spores are likely to Eettle anywhere about and prevention is the best remedy. Its fineness, its reliability, and its great diffusive- ness combine to make OBAPB DUST take the highest rank as a popular and economical fungicide. SEEDSMEN SELL IT.

First is a rose house 16x40, then a plant house 18x30 and parallel" with these a carnation house 18x50, all fairly well protected. Our present coil boiler contains sixty-five feet of 1%-inch pipe. We thought of getting another set of tees for 1-inch pipe and making it a twin heater, so we could use only one in mild weather. Or can we enlarge our present heater by doubling the pipe back, making the coils three deepf A. B. To heat the present plant to 60 de- grees in severe weather the houses should be provided with at least 600 feet of radiation, or 960 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe. The present pipe heater has a capacity for carrying about 260 feet of radiation, a little less than one-half what should be available to heat the present plant if located in the latitude of New York city; if south of that a little less will do. You will therefore be safe in doubling the present capacity. of your heating plant, preferably by build- ing a larger boiler. For plans of a pipe heater see Florists' Eeview^, December 31, 1903, pp. 269. L. C. C. PIPING A LEAN-TO. I have built a greenhouse 14x26 at- tached to the south side of my dwelling. The roof is thirteen feet high at the top and eight feet at the eave plate. The two ends and south side are glass. What size of heater will be required in Ohio climate? There are three benches in the house. What size of pipe would you use and how should it be distributed? L. W. B.

The radiation for this house can be supplied by providing six runs of 1^4 -inch pipe running along the three exposed sides of the building. The pipe can be arranged in a flat coil against the outside wall or it can be placed under the benches. In making up the coils 300 lineal feet of li4-inch pipe should be used. L. C. C.

With the season of steady firing ap- proaching, when we should be cutting our best crops, there is always the danger of thrips lurking in the houses, ready to pounce on our best specimens. Espe- cially is this the case in Beauty houses. To get rid of this pest before it be- comes too numerous, and before our crops are so far developed that the in- sect can find a lodgment among the pet- als, measures strong and drastic should be adopted now. This pest is very often introduced into the house with the first mulching material used, either in the form of eggs or in the larval stage, and under the genial conditions of the rose house thrives and multiplies rapidly. As a preventive to this introduction of thrips the manure pile should be kept free of weeds and turned over frequently during the summer, as these weedy spots are the places where they congregate. It is also advisable to keep down weeds in the vicinity of the houses and, if pos- sible, to bum the herbage during a dry spell. To clean them out of the houses after they have a foothold requires a great deal of work, patience and persever- ance, as the broods come rapidly and, although the adult insect succumbs readily to tobacco fumes, they are so active that it is^ ^ard to get the fumes to touch theni)' as they run to cover on the first intimation of danger. The larvae, making their home among the mulch and loose soil on the surface of the bench, are still harder to reach and it is only by persistently keeping after them and catching each brood at the stage where it is easiest destroyed that we can get the best of them. It is much easier and eafer to use the measures necessary to effect this pur- pose before the plants begin to produce their crops than afterwards, as the fre- quent use of fumes is almost certain to bleach the petals and destroy their value. The use of cayenne or red pepper, which has frequently been advocated in these columns, if intelligently and per- sistently applied is a sure and safe remedy. This should be applied some- what in the following manner: Get some iron plates 8x12 inches in size; heat them till they are red and lay them in the paths at distances of twenty-five feet apart. The operator should then start at the end of the house farthest from the door, covering each plate with the pepper, and get out of the house as quickly as possi- ble, as the fumes are vAry disagreeable and even dangerous. In two hours the fumes will have done their work and the ventilators can be raised. The usual weekly fumigation should not be allowed to lapse during this course, as we have found from experi- ence that these pepper fumes have little impression on green fly. BiBES. ANTHRACNOSE. For years I have found Mme. Chate- nay to die out considerably during the months from Pebruary to May. The stock was usually planted in June, in solid beds, and made a fine growth, but in a short time a part of the plant would ter, this seems to be a case of rose anthracnose, but without examining a specimen it is impossible to diagnose the case with any certainty and hence it is not safe to recommend a remedy. Lift one of the affected plants, shake off the soil, pack the root in damp moss and forward, and I will give the best advice in my power, whether the trouble be as I suspected, or otherwise. Bibes A« B. CARTLEDGE. A. B. Cartledge, senior partner of the firm of Pennock Bros., Philadelphia, is one of the most deservedly popular young men in our profession. His in- terest in the pioneer florist of Phila- delphia is inherited from his father, whose memory is kept green in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. Mr. Cartledge 's sunny disposition never fails to win the friendship of his busi- ness associates; he combines in a rare degree what may be termed the vital spark with that quiet decision that overcomes worries, both great and small, and robs "no" of -its sting.

There is one thing — that is, it will require rather different cultural treatment to what some have been giving it. I have a plant before me in my room which has been here fully two months, and it looks as well now as the day 1 brought it home. This had been grown fully exposed, forming* a bushy plant with rather short, nearly erect fronds. It is surprising how well theee apparently tender ferns stand when fully exposed to sunshine. It was not until N. exaltata was grown su&pended to the roof, where it had the full benefit of the light, that it became a favorite; now there is no more popular fern comes into the market. While about nephrolepis I may say that Westoni, the crested va- riety of ensifolia (often seen under the name acuta) may be regarded as a use- ful fern, especially in a small state. There is one fault, that is, it produces spores freely, and when grown on into larger plants, it has a dusty brown appearance. — Horticultural Advertiser. SCALE ON NEPHROLEPIS. I herewith enclose fronds of Nephro- lepis Scottii attacked by some kind of scales, of which I cannot g3t rid, al- though I am using tobacco dust freely. As I have maidenhair in the same house I dare not smoke. Kindly tell me how I can fight this pest successfully. E. F. W. This scale is giving much trouble to growers of nephrolepis, and is equally troubhsome on many other ferns if al- lowed to get ahead. Tobacco dust has little effect upon the scale and a better plan would be to cut off the worst fronds and burn them, then give the plants a dipping in solution of tobacco extract, using one part of Eose Leaf Extract of Tobacco to forty parts of water. This solution may injure the tender young tips of the growing fronds to some ex- tent, but this injury would be much less serious than the total ruination of the plants by the insects. W. H. Taplin. CARNATION NOTES.-EAST. Supports. Some years ago, when the trade called for carnations with practically no stem, very little thought was given to the ques- tion of support, but now that the de- mand is for blooms with stems from eighteen to thirty inches in length, we must needs give the matter serious con- sideration, for not only is it necessary to take the plants' natural inclination into account, but the labor and expense of putting up and maintaining a sys- tem of supports is an item of consider- able size in the cost of production. The carnation by nature is anything but desirable in its habit of growth, presenting, as it does, a very sprawly appearance, beautiful, no doubt, to the HBsthetic mind but not so to the commer- cial grower, who has a habit of viewing things from the bread and butter stand- point. Varieties differ somewhat in their general make-up but all can be said to possess the let-me-Iay-down tend- ency in some degree. From the time the cutting leaves the sand until lifted from the field we have in mind to build a shapely plant, a com- paratively easy task when the plants are small and low in stature but under glass, as the plants increase in size, and shoots are allowed to run to flower, means must be provided to maintain straight growth of stem, also to keep the lower branches off the soil, and in general to prevent sprawliness. Now, to do this with a plant so im- patient of restricted quarters requires more than a passing thought lest we infringe too much on nature. Space for- bids a description of the many differ- ent styles of supports in use, or refer- ence to the shortcomings of each. Suf- fice it to say that the ideal has not as yet appeared and in all probability never will. The two systems most in use are the Model Extension, a patented ar- ticle, and the home-made plan of stretch- ing wires lengthwise of the bench be- tween rows and along the outer ones, strings being run crossways of the bench, knotting at each wire, thus form- ing a square around each plant. These wires and strings are put up in tiers as growth demands. Some growers do away with the lower section, employing wire netting bent in shape of an inverted "V." Whatever style is used, one important point is to put them on, or at least that part which is to serve in preventing the lower branches from contact with the soil, before the plants have increased much in size. The complete support to the plant proper is preferably in place directly all dead foliage has been re- moved, the surface soil a few times broken up and all weeds destroyed. Un- der no circumstances should the sup- port be of such nature, or so applied, as to interfere with free circulation of air through and around all parts of the plant, not only when first applied, but allowance must be made for material in- crease in the number of shoots as the season advances. Any attempt at crowding the plant into too small space is only to invite trouble. The flower shoots will become drawn and probably never reach ma- turity, the lower foliage will suffer and water applied in showering cannot prop- erly dry out. In this connection it is hoped that plants were not too thickly set at plant- ing time. If such be the case it would pay to thin them, using caution and not doing it on a wholesale plan. Setting plants, too thickly will not cause two carnations to grow where one grew be- fore. Geo. S. Osborn. CARNATION NOTES. Air and 'Water. Now is the time to exercise reason and good judgment, combined with care- ful watchfulness, in watering and syring- ing the carnations, for it is presumed that all are housed before this. The plants are forming new roots under new conditions, very different to those which existed while the plants were growing in the field. It will be well to remember that the conditions of the greenhouse are entirely artificial and the aim of the grower should be to make them as nat- ural as possible by giving the plants a constant supply of pure air. By a sup- ply of pure air I do not mean a draught of air at a speed of thirty to forty mUes per hour. Get the air by raising the ventilators enough to secure a free cir- culation and give water when needed. Syringe only on bright days and early in the day, to the end that the foliage may be dry before night. Examine the soil in several places on the benches, especially about the sides, for the sides always dry out more quickly than the middle of the bench, and in watering go over these dry places some time before with the hose and then follow up later .with an even watering over the whole bench, but bear in mind that the days are getting shorter and the sun lower, so the beds will not dry out as fast as thoy did a month ago. We must harden up the growth a lit- tle for the time when there will not be so much root action; therefore it is well to be sure the benches are in condition to need water. If so, try to apply it with judgment. If you are in doubt as to whether the plants need water, better put off the watering until the next day at this time of the year. Eag. THE CARNATION RUST. I wish you would inform me as to the cause and remedy for the spots you will see on the carnation leaves I send. The variety is Enchantress and out of 1,000 plants only six show these spots on the leaves. The bench was planted last March, so that the stock has been inside all summer. What causes Enchantress to be sleepy or burst its calyx? W. L. K. The spots on the leaves you enclosed are the common carnation rust. As most growers will remember, about twelve or thirteen years ago this disease caused the greatest fear among carnation grow- ers, lest it would destroy the race, and many remedies were suggested and tried. But after a time it was discovered that by proper, everyday treatment the car- nation can be kept comparatively free from this disease, and the present-day grower does not become alarmed at sight of a speck here and there in his houses. When looking for the cause of these eruptions on the leaves you must go back farther than you might suppose. These brown spots and the powdery-looking substance is merely the fruiting or the spores which perpetuate a fungus which has been working inside the leaf for some time. These plants may have had this disease ever since they were cuttings, but conditions were not favorable for its development until just lately, when it be- came active and produced this crop of spores. Why did it break out on these few plants and not in all the others, do you askf Why does one person in a crowd or community contract a case of small-pox when hundreds of others live and work all around them without taking it? These plants most likely had it in them and they happened to get into proper condition for its development and ''"wmfmi^m ||p|||P!!P9Vf^^i^Mi.iJii,V>i^.T*I'Ji!>^.ipp^ 926 The Weekly Florists^ Review* SBPT>fiMBBR 14, 1905. ?•%. era remain fresh longer when they are in partly shaded places. When they are exposed to the full sun, they can be covered with a light cloth; the flowers thus protected acquire a really remarkable, fine color, and the flowering lasts much longer. Peonies are not delicate plants; how- ever, you must avoid to plant them too near voracious shrubs, the roots of which exhaust the soil. But you may plant by the ]geonies plants of a not cumbrous nature, the roots of which do not ex- haust the soil, such as standard roses, gladioli, etc. Peonies do not require frequent wa- tering, but during the seasons of extreme drought, and on light soils, copious draughts of water or licjuid manure once or twice a week will assist in the forma- tion of good stout buds for the follow- ing season. In spring when the buds are well formed, little side buds should be taken off when the largest blooms are desired, but where peonies are planted for the ornament of the gardens, I should ad- vise to leave i^iem, because these second- ary flowers (which are still generally very fine) prolong the duration of flower- ing for some time. It is useful to surround the stems of herbaceous peonies with a few light ties, such as rafha, fixed to a little prop to protect them from a gust of wind. Each fall after the first hoar-frosts the tops of the peonies should be cut off on a level with the soil. The best time for planting peonies is September and October, as soon as the temperature is cool enough for the plants to be sent without damage. However, peonies may be planted safely at any time that the ground is in good condi- tion from September to March. Peonies carefully packed in boxes with moss are never damaged during the long- est journeys, even if they are overtaken on the way by the hardest frosts. It is sufficient to put them, when arrived, in a cellar or other place of moderate tem- perature, during two or three days, be- fore getting the plants out of the boxes. >»>Wi<»^<^^<#^L<»^'^^n.<»jn.'^j^»^iW>.^Jw>i^;WL^>^^-^^<^j^>^-^-^-*»^^<*=^'g^ b THE RETAIL FLORIST ^k^ 'ife^ ^t*^> %fe»> %*-^ it^K'U-*>'<*^ife^>rf-*» Vf»» '**••> w-». Vf»»-iJfe-».lrfr^^tf:»> PANSY FANCIES. Not infrequently the soft summer flowers are wanted, both in sprays and design work. When as short-stemmed as pansies, they are none too easily ar- ranged, especially in sprays. To get around this difficulty make use of some tough, wiry green, like asparagus, for a foundation. Bend in any desired shape and wire the pansies on with the finest wire obtainable. Many different posi- tions, both full front, side and back views of the pansy faces, make the best piece. Slip the pansy stems in line with the stem of the asparagus, and keep j them there, as though growing out from j the asparagus stem. Wrap under the [ asparagus leaves so that the wire can- i not show. I Have some definite plan as to the j placing of the colors. In the first pic- ; ture dark pansies are massed on the heavy part of the supposed crescent wreath. Gradually work in next the lighter shades and tints, according to the amount of color, and bring the very lightest around the narrow part. . The principal value of the simple de- sign under discussion consists, not so much in its present worth in money, as what it indicates in ready inventive ability in two directions, namely, what can be done with a few pansies and a spray of asparagus can be done with fine roses, violets and orchids, with a great saving of time and fully as good an effect as a design frame would af- ford and much better for delicate flow- ers. It might be well to suggest here that no very small percentage of the retail j value of the flowers in a piece like this j should be added for the "knowing how. ' ' Circumstances and surroundings must determine the amount for indi- j vidual cases. The second value in the design is that it shows the growing tendency to substi- tute loose arrangements which will soon- er or later displace set design work. Why not make a cross of loose roses attached to a heavy wire, in half the time, with a larger piece to finish with, than use the same number of flowers crowded into h,alf the space with more labor? The second and larger illustration is a casket wreath of yellow and purple pansies with pink and yellow snap- dragons. The easel shown does not be- long to the wreath, as the wreath is un- mounted, the easel being merely to dis- play the piece for photographing. The principal feature about this wreath is the coloring, the light, sum- merish air which the coloring produces being a different look from that of the all-winter combination of roses and car- nations. The wreath frame is prepared in the usual way, with a green background. A second background is then set in; of yel- low and purple pansies, stemmed long and inserted in the moss not too closely together, but with a definite plan as to coloring. Many more mixed flowers than solid colors are found in a pansy bed. Choose the solid yellow, solid purple and those mixed ones that combine these two colors. While stemming keep the colors sorted as just mentioned. When ready to flU in the wreath, select the darkest purple and fill in a section of the wreath as far as the amount of' ma- terial will cover. Next insert those of slightly lighter purple, and so on until the solid purples are exhausted. Then pick out those flowers which show the smallest addition of yellow with the purple and grade in the coloring as was done with the solid purples. Continue the process till the patch of coloring gradually loses the purple and ap- proaches solid yellow. Lay in the solid yellow pansies and complete and space about two-thirds of the distance around the frame. Glance over the work so far completed and you will see an easy transition from dark to light which could never be accomplished by an indiscriminate mixing of these same colors. Lastly make a loose spray of pink Crescent Wreath of Pansies and Asparas^us. Sbptembbb 14, 1905.

Lay the spray flat over the unoccupied part of the wreath, so that the pink tip shall fall over the purple pansy section and the yellow at the base of the spray shall reach the yellow pansy section. Fasten the spray securely to the wreath frame in several places, with wire pins, and pull out a number of asparagus tips to break the even outline of the inside and outside edges of the wreath. Allow some of the stems of the spray to be seen, as on the left of the design in the picture. This color scheme, carefully worked out, will afford good drill in bhnding colors, as well as present a strong union of colors, which, being correct, cannot help but be attractive and pleasing. Gertexjde Blair. THE TRADE AT NEW ORLEANS. The following review of trade condi- tions at New Orleans is by Eichard Eichling, manager for William Behm: The florists and seedsmen of New Or- leans have the satisfaction of looking back upon a most prosperous business year, covering every branch of the trade. The actual season of the florist in this city is comparatively short on account of our location. It begins with the month of October and ends about July 1. Out of these nine months only six can be accounted as actual business months. "With a few exceptions nearly all the plants sold in New Orleans are now grown by local florists, and the time will not be far off when some of the larger of these firms will grow stock for the wholesale shipping trade to northern cities, showing that this progressive city, with its energetic and enterprising busi- ness men, is gradually breaking its way to the front in every line of trade. The quantity of plants employed to beautify the Crescent City reaches into the hundreds of thousands each year, and passing now through the fine resi- dence avenues, the terrible destruction wrought by the severe winter of 1899 is hardly visible. Gradually the neutral grounds on the street railway rights of way, as well as every available space along the sidewalks of the various ele- gant residence districts, are planted with hardy palms, either Phoenix Canariensis or the Washingtonia filifera, or with many varieties of ornamental shade trees which will tend to make New Orleans in a short time one of the most beautiful cities of the country. During the past year several new floral establishments were erected, and others remodeled. Two of these, the one of William Rehm and that of P. A. Chopin, are deserving, on account of their ele- gance and strictly modem construction, of special mention. These two are in the upper district of the city and are valu- able acquisitions to their respective lo- calities. A third one, that of the Metairie Ridge Nursery Co., outside of the city proper, is likewise a strictly modern plant, comprising an area of about 200 acres. In New Orleans are some of the larg- est seed firms in the south, supplying the gulf states, as well as Texas, with immense quantities of all kinds of gar- den, field and flower seeds. Some of these, the J. Steckler Seed Co., J. A. Schindler Seed Co., and C. W. Eichling, report that the past year has been an exceptionally good one and their output Guket Wreath of Pansies and Snapdragon. larger than ever before. Of all seeds sown in the southern states only a small quantity is grown here. The most valua- ble of these is the so-called Creole onion seed, and then follow Creole parsley, cab- bage, carrots, cucumbers, eggplants, musk melons and some others. In the vicinity of New Orleans are lo- cated some oJBy^^ largest truck farmers in the south. /™eir owners are generally a high class of citizens, Americans, Ger- msins, French and Italians. On their large farms the earliest vegetables for the home and northern markets are grown — in fact, some of them all the year \ around. For the shipping trade the most important are beans, peas, lettuce, cab- bage and cucumbers. Whole refrigerator car-loads are consigned every day over local railroads during the shipping sea- son. The greatest and most modern plant in Louisiana for the cultivation of early cucumbers under glass for the whole- sale shipping trade is owned and man- aged by O. Arten, in CarroUton. Regardless of the unpleasant situa- tion in New Orleans, the florists compris- ing the New Orleans Horticultural So- ciety, encouraged by the promised co- operation of the Louisiana branch of the International Sunshine Society, are working harder than ever to make the coming flower show in November the most successful ever held here. They are fully convinced that, by that time, all those spanding the summer months at the different health and pleasure resorts, will have returned and all will be eagerly awaiting the opening day. RETAILERS' ADVERTISING. It is worth any business man's time to give a little attention to his adver- tising. Too many retail florists either do not advertise at all or else are con- tent to let the same general advertise- ment run in season and out, the year around — ^if they keep it up that long. That isn't the way to advertise. All men who have thought on the sub- ject concede that the most potent factor in modern business life is the power of advertising. Most of the great busi- ness institutions of the day have been built up by newspaper publicity backed up by efficient business methods. But the best advertising in the world will prove unavailing if the store does not fulfill the promise of the advertisement. Indeed, the advertisement which is de- ceitful not only reacts upon the indi- vidual advertiser but it shakes the read- ers' confidence in all other advertising and for this reason the wise publisher keeps close watch upon his advertisers and is not slow to dispense with the patronage of one who does not keep faith with the public. This is particu- larly true where mail orders accompanied by remittance are sought. But to get back to the subject, the department store advertiser does not expect to turn the thoughts of the en- tire community in his direction with the announcement, "The Emporium, hsad- quarters for everything from a Tooth- pick to a load of Coal. ' ' Neither should the retail florist expect large returns from a "card" in his local paper. Any 928 .7 ^r :r^'^y^ -: T*^-^?''^^<^'?-J\\'^^ The Weekly Florists^ Review* Sbpi«bmbeb 14, 1006. advertising is better than no advertis- ing, but a ' ' card ' ' is about ths poor- est of all; it is only good for directory purposes. Keep out of the church fair programs, the souvenir books and the like and you will save enough money to start the use, in your best local news- paper, of space enough to tell a little story, describe some special stock or quote a price on a seasonable item — if it isn't seasonable even a money-losing price will not serve to attract mors than one or two buyers. But having once made a start in the ' right direction do not lose interest. Ke?p changing the advertisement. Too many advertisers who are making a small beginning fail to keep up with the work made necessary. Change the ' ' copy ' ' frequently ; nsver let the ad- vertisement get stale. It costs the pub- lisher money to re-set advertising but most of them have found out that the advertiser who gives some thought to the use of • his space and changes copy frequently is the one who is a per- manent because puceessful advertiser ; and likely to increase his space from year ' to year as his business grows. Most large newspapers and many small ones now emjiloy men for the one purpose of preparing new copy for those adver- tisers who would not otherwise change as frequently as they should. The Min- neapolis Journal has a man specially detailed to look after horticultural ad- vertisers. Some advertisers crowd their adver- tissments too much; others buy more space than they can fill. The Uticans seem to have about the right sense of A WELL-KEPT PLACE. The accompanying illustrations are from photographs taken a few days ago at the establishment of Isaac Husbands, at Bellevue, Ohio. They show a model establishment and should inspire in the owners of similar places a desire to make an equally attractive showing. The dwelling is covered with Ampelopsis Veitchii; the lawn is smoothly shaven and the flower beds are an inspiration to Mr. Husbands' customers. There are about 3,000 plants in his yard, consisting principally of geraniums, backed up by over forty of the best varieties of can- nas. Mr. Husbands has been in business at Bellevue for about ten years and has constructed the place shown in the photographs. He is an Englishman and had a horticultural training before com- ing to America. He has lived in this country twenty-six years and prior to starting in business for himself was gar- dener for the late C A. Otis and for P. D. Eells, at Cleveland. Mr. Husbands says that he often wonders why florists do not take more pride in the appearance -of the grounds surrounding their homes and their places of business, as he finds the condition of his grounds not only a pleasure but profitable to him in a business way.

So to Atco, Phil was dispatched and there spent a delightful hour with L. K. Peacock himself, to whose kind aid are due all the names and many of the notes that follow. The farm comprises two dahlia fields, one of seventy-five acres, the other of fifty-five acres. Both fields are entirely filled with dahlias, planted in long, straight rows, four feet apart, the plants vigorous and full of buds, not a weed to be seen, a magnificent sight. The varieties grown especially for cut flowers have been skillfully pinched and disbudded to produce long stems, the progress in this point of culture being marked. Full advantage has been taken of the favorable season. Cultivate! Cultivate ! ! Cultivate ! ! ! This is evi- dently the watchword of the place. It would be hard to imagine a cleaner, healthier looking lot of dahlias than those 130 acres. But to the varieties. Here is the greatest progress. The cactus, the single and the decorative classes have all made rapid advance. New varieties in each class, some originated, some from abroad, give a range of color and beauty of form truly marvelous. I am using Mr, Peacock's exact words in describing a few of the best cut flower varieties: John Elitch is rich, glowing crimson, shaded darker, immense flowers six inches across on stems three to four feet long. Airs. Roosevelt is a giant decorative dahlia, very delicate pink, stems two to four feet long, flowers five to six inches across. * ' These two varieties are being especially grown on long, disbudded stems. Nine of either of these will make a larger showing than a dozen of any of the early chrysanthemums, also of many of the later varieties." William Agnew is a very large brilliant red. Lyndhurst is a vivid scarlet. Orange King is a very bright, rich orange, Claribel a very bright purple. C. W. Bruton is still the leading yel- low decorative, immense flowers, many stems being four feet long. In pink Nymphffia, shell pink, and Eureka, a fine large, deep rose, are the only ones in their shades in this class. In white Henry Patrick is very large, pure white, on long stems, and fine, erect form. Perle d'Or is large, of the most approved chrysanthemum form. In cactus dahlias Kriemhilde is far the best in pink, very finely formed flow- ers, clear, rich pink tinting lighter to the center. Victor Von Sheffen is a little lighter color and a little finer formed flower. In white Purity and Winsome were in a class by themselves, with good habit and the most beautiful form. The yellow cactus dahlias have not reached the same perfection as a cut flower as the other shades, the stem being a trifle weak, but Volker is a magnificent form of plant. Among the reds Mars is a finely formed rich scarlet, Floradora a vivid crimson and J. H. Jackson a dark, rich velvety crimson, the plants being dwarf, of branching habit, very free bloomers and with long stiff stems. Another feature in this popular class was the fancy section. Mrs. H. J, Jones is carmine red tipped creamy white. Gen- eral Buller is rich, velvety crimson tipped pure white and showed magnificent form, very long, erect stems and most pleasing, particularly the solid color of General Buller, which is one of the ru'h- est in the entire section. In connection with the cactus varieties Mr. Peacock considers Kriemhilde the best all-round commercial dahlia grown, which fact is fully demonstrated by the appearance of the plants at Atco, one acre being grown for cut flowers, and there are two other blocks of one-half acre each. These plants showed up in magnificent form, the stems running I "/''^fr''""-''. w^!«i'i!5r"'^"*V''^rt:^'v/»;'w^ Bkptember 14, 1906.

Among the show dahlias Queen of the Belgians, shell pink, A. D. Livoni, clear soft pink, and Pink Dandy, a large, long-stemmed, tipped rose pink, were the most jitriking. Storm King, as usual, showed up in the best form, while the plants of John Walker made it look to be the best late white. Mr. Peacock grows these two varieties in connection, the Walker fol- lowing the Storm King as the season ad- vances. in yellows Queen of Yellows, clear canary yellow, Queen Victoria, a richer, deeper yellow, and Sir Charles Mills, a rich golden yellow, looked far the best for commercial purposes. The Client is a rich, magnificent crim- son, while in scarlet the Apollyon is still considered the best. The pompons made a magnificent showing, the dwarfed, branching plants being a complete sheet of bloom, all of which were very striking, but Alewine, a white suflFusing a rosy light, was particu- larly striking as a cut flower, it being of beautiful form, a free bloomer and giv- ing long stems. Next to the cactus the singles are most valuable as cut flowers and Mr. Peacock states that the demand for singles is in- creasing, far more rapidly than for even the cactus, especially since the advent of the Century class. Twentieth Century still heads the list as the most striking on account of the lovely color combina- tions, combined with its size, free bloom- ing qualities and long stems. All this class are remarkably good shippers and keepers. Scarlet Century is a magnificent va- riety, very large and a vivid scarlet, but will be superseded commercially by Gor- geous, a newer seedling which has a little better form, a little richer color and longer stems. The new crimson. Harvard, certainly I rightly named, is a superb variety, while t in clear pinks the Blush Century, a very delicate shell pink, and the Pink Cen- tury, probably the largest of all, meas- uring seven to eight inches in diameter, are of greatest value. The Crimson Century is another fine commercial sort, it being much dwarfer than the others, branching near the ground but throwing the flowers in the Buttercup showed up in great form, the flowers of most beautiful shape, small size but borne in utmost profusion. Two rows of this variety made a bed eight feet wide and 600 feet long, a magnifi- cent sight. St. George was a better yel- low commercially as it was the clearest canary yellow, large size and long stems. Another striking novelty was the Fairy, a beautiful rosy yellow of most unique form, long, twisted petals, with stag-horn tips. The Garllandia was also a striking variety, being of the same marking as Grandiflora but of more pleasing and brighter color. Two of the most striking varieties seen were the new branching collarette varieties. President Viger, the original variety, showed up in great form, but Mme. Viger, a seedling, is lighter, brighter, larger and better in every way. I wgret that lack of time prevented nif Nking in the trial lots, among which wett u number of new seedlings and new ini|)iirtations, particularly among the cactus varieties. Phil. greatest profusion well above the plant, on long stems. I was very much impressed with the appearance of the new White Century; the flowers arc very large, the plants growing five to six feet high, with six to eight immense flowers to a plant, on stems two to three feet long. The Record was very striking, being of the same marking as Twentieth Cen- tury excepting that the colors are scar- let and yellow. I did not consider this of as great commercial value as the others but it is a most striking plant. Among the new singles, what struck me most was the dark-foliaged varieties. Ami Barrillet, a rich garnet, purple foliage, and Ami Downie, a glowing crimson scarlet, with much longer stems and foliage nearly as dark as Barrillet. Alba superba was clearly the best Avhite, the plant being completely cov- ered with immense, snow white flowers with long stems. The anemone are more compact flowers, of anemone shape and borne erect. In the delicate shades most striking are Gracie, a pure white suifusing blush, and Mollie, light pink with a white disc. THE READERS' CORNER. The White Fly. In answ3r to ' ' Hoosier, ' ' in the Re- view for Aug. 31, we would say that we were troubled with the little white fly, but application of hydrocyanic acid gas as per the formula on page 736 of the Review for August 17, 1905, killed every one. We did not us3 it quite so strong as there advised and would reduce again, for some of the tend3r leaves of rose geraniums and chrysanthemums were affected. The Review deserves much credit for ita ever-ready disposition to oft'er helpful suggestions for the bene- fit of its readers. We enjoy every page. Shakdlow. Here Is the formula once more: One pint sulphuric acid, one pint water; mix in one gallon butter jar. Tie up two and one-half ounces cyanide ot potassium. Drop the little parcel of cyanide into the Jar and walk on. Keep the ventilators closed tight all night. The above is for each 1,500 cubic feet of air space in your house. This strength will hurt no living plant, but might kill you or the cat if you stopped too long. W. S. Taxes on Plants.

All whom we have heard from say that growing crops ara not taxable, but our tax inquisitors say that we shall have to pay taxes, as they claim that almost everything we have is in shape to sell. We want to do what is right but we understand that others refuse to pay and will take the matter into court. If they make us all pay in our town we are all on an even footing, but other towns would have an advantage of us if they are not taxed, too. We should like to hear from florists in several states as to what the practice is as to assessing personal taxes on the stock growing in the greenhouses. W. B. Hydrocyanic Gas. In the Review of August 31 inquiry was made as to the efficiency of hydro- cyanic acid gas in the destruction of white fly. In the early part of the spring we had occasion to fumigate five houses, planted principally to tomatoes, which were badly affected with white fly. The quantity used was five ounces of potassium cyanide, one quart of sul- phuric acid and one quart of water to every 4,000 cubic feet of air space. The result was a complete annihilation of all insect life, together with a considerable burning of all plants in the houses. It would seem peculiar that the gen- tleman making the enquiry should have used the generally accepted formula with no results, as we simply doubled the amount of cyanide to twice the usual amount of air space. The temperature in the houses at the time of operation was 65 degrees. The resulting gas was too strong for the foliage, as shown next morning on carnations, smilax, mums and even on tomatoes. We would suggest to the enquirer that before again making use of this very efficient fumigant he personally attend to all leakages in his glass, upon which we think the gentleman will admit with us that hydrocyanic acid gas is the only remedy for white fly. C. H. Janzen. Vegetable Forcing. MAKING MUSHROOM BEDS. When the material has been put into proper condition, the first thing is the making up of the mushroom beds. To insure proper and even firming the best way is to spread a layer of the material about three inches thick, evenly over the bottom of the bed. Beat this mod- erately firm; then add another layer of about the same thickness, and so on until the desired depth has been at- tained. There is considerable diversity of opinion regarding the best depth to make the bed. Some prefer eight inches, but we invariably make the beds twelve inches deep and find by doing so that the larger body of material is not so apt to lose heat quickly and the beds con- tinue to bear longer. Of course a good deal depends on the facilities at hand. With a properly equipped, well-heated mushroom house a depth of eight inches would be all right, but when the tem- perature is apt to run a little low the extra body of material is a big advan- tage. The only advantage in the shallow bed is that less material is needed, which in cases where this is hard to procure is a matter that must be taken into con- sideration. We have seen good mushrooms grown in frost-proof cellars with no other heat than that given by the manure, but in this case the beds were made two feet thick and were well covered -with straw. The manure that was being collected for making up other beds was brought in and dumped on the cellar floor. Here the manure was kept turned over until it was in the proper condition, but while turning was going on it was necessary to open the cellar windows far enough to let out the rank steam. The heat given off from this was sufficient to maintain a temperature of from 45 to 50 degrees, even in cold weather. This temperature made growth necessarily slow and through the coldest part of winter not many mushrooms were pulled from the beds, but in fall and spring a splendid crop was harvested. They did well up to the end of December but slacked off from that time until the beginning of March. The party who grew the mush- rooms only rented the cellar from year to NOTE The Bditor Is pleased when a Beader presents his Ideas on any subject treated In the BBVXEW.

LIGHT IN CUCUMBER HOUSES. Among cucumber growers in certain localities of Massachusetts, there is and has been for many years a practice of double roofing as a means of keeping out the cold and economizing in fuel. In this method of construction, pieces of moulding are fastened to the inside of the sash bars which constitute the roof and sides of the house, these holding in place a second layer of glass. This forms a double roof and sides to the house, with a l^^-inch or 2-inch air space between. Some constructors do not carry the double roofing to the ridge, but stop about one-half or two-thirds of the way up, thus leaving the upper part of the roof near the riuge with a single layer of glass, while the lower part is provided with two layers. Certain growers who make use of this plan maintain that it is impossible to grow plants in any other way, while others cannot be induced to use it. We have observed a great many crops of cucumbers grown under both of these methods of construction with marked dif- ferences in results. The objection to the double roof system is the collection of moisture and dust, which shuts out the light, and we have observed more than once houses constructed in this manner which it was almost impossible to see through. The double roof system is also costly, the glass becomes more readily corroded, and, while it may keep out a certain amount of cold, the advantage is, according to our observation, not so great as that which would result from differences in exposure or from the use of an economical boiler. Cucumbers are especially susceptible to light and even under the most favorable conditions in our latitude they not infre- quently suffer from the want of it during the winter months. From November to February they should receive all the light possible, not only for their foliage, but for their fruit; and any method in the construction of greenhouses for cucum- bers which fails to take this factor into consideration is radically wrong. We have seen many instances in double glass houses where the plants were unhealthy from the lack of light. Their leaves possessed no texture nor healthy green color, their petioles were small and elon- gated, their fruit stunted in its growth and lacked color, and the plant 's degree of maturity is not what it would be if grown under better light conditions. We have seen instances in cucumber houses where plants which had been shaded for a few hours each day Dy some adjoining building showed a loss of fifty per cent in maturity. — Bulletin of Hatch Experi- ment Station.

A WISCONSIN PLACE, The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of the establishment of Liouis Otto, at Neenah, Wis., where he does a good trade. The town is small, having a population of only 5,954 by the last census, but it is a prosperous com- munity and all business there is thriv- ing. Mr. Otto has about 7,000 feet of glass and grows a general stock, for he does a large cemetery trade. One of his difficulties was a satisfactory water supply until he put in a Diamond wind- mill, supplied by the Temple Pump Co., 17 West Fifteenth place, Chicago, which gives him a very satisfactory supply from his own well. NEW YORK. The Market A good frost would do more than any other influence to put life into the mar- ket. Saturday aaw some improvement, the premonitory symptoms of a perma- nent revival.

There is no dimi- nution in the flood of hydrangeas and gladioli. The general tone is improving. Sales on Saturday were above the aver- age in quantity, and with the rapid re- turn of the flower buyers from their sum- mer homes comes the inevitable demand that will again start the retail and wholesale wheels in motion. Qub Night. The club meeting Monday night drew a fair house, notwithstanding the storm. The exhibits were large and excellent. A certificate of merit was awarded the F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, for a grand display of thirteen varieties of phlox, fifteen varieties of dahlias, four varieties of helianthuB and eight varieties of hardy asters. H. A. Dreer, Philadelphia, Sent a fine exhibit of helianthus, phlox, hybrid del- phiniums and liatris, for which a certifi- cate of merit was awarded. Bobbink & Atkins showed twenty-five varieties of phlox, four varieties of helianthus, three varieties of boltonia, one sedum, two lobelias, three varieties rud- beckia, two varieties helenium and three varieties of hardy asters, for which they received honorable mention. H. Beau- lieu exhibited six varieties of dahlias. Messrs. Kakuda and Fellouris were elected members of the club. Clarence Saltford's resignation was accepted and ^fe88rs. E. V. Hallock, C. Wayne Ward, ^y. H. Donohoe, F. Boulon, Jr., and Wil- liam N. Eeed were proposed for member- ship. The members who visited the capital city were called upon for their expe- riences and criticisms. A vote of thanks to the Washington club for the magnif- icent hospitality of its members was unanimously given. "Bobby" Sehultz, of Madison, gave a very humorous account of his expe- riences with the Nugent punch and Wash- ington water, closing with some classic poetry of his own composition. A. H. Langjahr referred feelingly to his ex- periences in hotels, woods and other places. Mr. Weathered said it was the most delightful convention he had ever enjoyed and that the thirst for educa- tion displayed by the younger members was phenomenal. J. B. Nugent told how he was so successful in catering. A. J. Guttman and C. H. Totty declared it was the best time they ever had in their lives, to which Mr. Manda added his endorse- ment. The newspaper men each had something to say and the question box and Mr. BeauUeu occupied the attention for the balance of a very enjoyable even- ing. The next meeting will be canna and chrysanthemum night and with good weather there shoiild be an attendance worthy of the membership. The bowling club will then commence operations. Various Notes. Eobert Craig, of Philadelphia, was a recent visitor. W. C. Mansfield, of Lexington avenue, is back from his summer holiday at the Thousand Islands. F. H. Traendly has recovered from his hay fever, and Mrs. Traendly has passed the danger point in her illness. A Vanderbilt decoration, most unique and extensive, at Newport, last week, gave Wadley & Smythe opportunity to add to their reputation and bank ac- count. Fred Zahn is again in business at 2082 Seventh avenue and doing well, having fully recovered his health. A. A. Pawlowsky, formerly with Chas. Scallen, on Broadway, has formed a partnership with L. Jenke, at 422 Fourth avenue, corner of Twenty-ninth street. Byron S. Blake, of Rochester, is visit- ing his son in Brooklyn. He is the in- ventor of Blake's lever clip for rose stakes and has sold in his first season nearly half a million of this very useful little convenience. Geo. H.

Mr. Keller, of Reed & Keller, is ex- pected home on Thursday, after a visit of several months in Europe. Mr. Reed tells me business since the convention re- minds him of Christmas and that the firm is working night and day to fill orders. Leo. Klein was married last Sunday and with his wife is spending his honey- moon at Washington. N. Lecakes and John Foley are back from an extensive trip through the south, where they visited their galax, holly and smilax shippers. They are making a fine exhibit of plants in and around their new front, which is quite in keeping with its neighbors. J. F.

Conditions are not materially changed bince our last leport. Rosea continue in abundant supply. Some of the smaller sizes of Brides and iSiaids are cleared at extremely low prices. The top grades bring from $4 to $6. Kaiserins are very good, without any change in price. Lib- erty is coming in bettor and the finest sell at higher prices. Beauties are not yet of very good color. While the best re- alize $15 to $25, short -stemmed stock brings very little. Carnations continue scarce, tlie average price being $2 to $3. Drenching rains on September 3 and 4 temporarily reduced the aster supply and made prices boom. Bright weather has brought along other batches and a good supply is now forthcoming. Prices vary from 50 cents ti> $2. Gladioli are coming in less plentifully and outside of a few longitlorum and speciosum lilies and val- ley, few otlier flowers are seen. No change in green stock.

At a meeting of the board of trustees on September 9 an appropriation of $6,700 was recommended for premiums for 1906. An invitation was extended to the American Peony Society to hold its annual convention and show in connec- tion with the local peony exhibition in June, 1906. A committee was appointed to pre- pare a preliminary schedule to cover the spring exhibition in March, 1906. This will be printed and in the hands of all who desire it during the show this week. Every effort will be made to have a rec- ord-breaking exhibition when the Amer- ican Rose Society meets, as it did last March. Various Notes. A delegation of some seventy-five gen- tlemen, including members of the Hor- ticultural Society, State Board of Agri- culture and Boston Market Gardeners' Association, made a journey by special invitation to the New Hampshire Col- lege at Durham on September 12. Free transportation was provided and lunch served at the college. A large number of variety tests at the Experimental Sta- tion grounds proved interesting, as did the facilities for instruction offered by the new agricultural building and green- houses, to say nothing of other features of the college work. Boston was reached on the return journey at 7:30, after a most delightful day's outing. The entire floral decoration for the opening of the Henry Siegel Co. 's mam- moth new store in Boston on September 11, was entrusted to T. F. Galvin. An enormous amount of material was used to produce the best possible effects in all departments of the store and the vast crowds who attended were unstinted in their praise of the way in which the dec- orations were carried out. N. F. McCarthy & Co.'s fall auction sales started on September 12, when peonies, field-grown carnations and Bos- ton ferns were the principal articles dis- posed of. All brought good prices. Sales will continue every Tuesday and Fridaj until December 1. The next meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, on September 19, promises to be the banner one in its his- tory. Numerous applications for mem- bership have already been received and more are promised. There will be vaca- tion experiences from a number of mem- bers, :ruisic and refresliments. An at- tendance of 100 is expected and all who come are promised a delightful ard profitable evening. The club's member- ship will receive a big lift toward the 200 mark as a result of this meeting. The Boston Sunday Globe, of Septem- ber 10, contained a lengthy illustrated sketch of John K. Alexander, of West Bridgewater, and his well-known dahlia farm, where 100,000 plants are now in bloom. J.

Re- ceipts have increased in many lines, s© that no fancy prices are obtained, but the market is clearing up better on most lines than it has for some time. The principal exception to this relates to the asters. Receipts are tremendously heavy and a very large part of the stock is of first-class quality; indeed, there are so many good asters that they make low average prices and the ,poor stock is almost unsalable. They also hurt the sale of carnations, which seem unusually abundant. American Beauties are in first-class shape. Receipts are quite heavy but the demand is such that prices are well held. Many growers are getting fair Brides and Bridesmaids and quality is steadily improving. The shipping demand takes all the goofl roses but the short stuff has to be sacrificed.

Ure died on Sunday, September 10, aged 79 years. He was a pioneer in the trade in Chicago, his business experience dating from the early days of the city. Mr. Ure was born, and educated to gardening, in England. He came to America while yet a young man and conducted a prosperous establishment when the business in the west was in its infancy and when little other than bedding stock was grown, but in greater variety than is the case today. He was a tliorough plantsman and possessed of a Avide knowledge on horticultural sub- jects. As with many of the old timers, Mr. Uro's business had its ups and downs but none was more actively identified with trade affairs than he. Early flower show history would show him among the most active figures and, indeed, he was an exhibitor at last year's show, having never lost his interest. In early days flower show management was often in his hands and for years he was identi- fied with the work of the State Board of Agriculture and took a leading part in horticultural affairs throughout Illi- nois and at the state fairs. During the World's Fair he was in charge of the grounds and decorations of the Illinois state building and it is well remembered that Illinois had reason to be proud of his work at that time. Of recent years Mr. Ure's strength had somewhat limited his activity but he still conducted the establishment in Edgewater where he has been located for so many years. He had maintained his membership in the Chicago Florists' Club and in the Horticultural Society of Chicago, but had allowed his member- ship in many other organizations to lapse. Mr. Ure was one of the oldest Masons in Chicago. He leaves a widow and several children, one son being as- sociated with him in his business. A daughter is Mrs. James Hartshorne, of Joliet. A special meeting of the Chicago Flo- rists' Club was held September 12 at the office of the Benthey-Coatsworth Co., Vice-president J. P. Eisch occupying the chair. Besclutions were adopted and a floral tribute ordered sent to the funeral, which was held Tuesday afternoon at the family residence, 2843 Evanston ave- nue, and attended by a large number of i those in the trade. Interment was at Rose Hill. The portrait of Mr. Ure, printed on the opposite page, is from his latest photograph, taken March 23, 1893, when he was actively engaged in the World's Fair work. At Wittbold's. The George Wittbold Co. has pulled down the ends of all the houses west of the store on Buckingham place and is putting up a show house to match the one running east from the store. When finished it will give them the best street frontage in Chicago. The new office building is nearly ready for occupancy. The boys report retail trade good for summer and the wholesale end is big, many orders on for fall shipment. Two men are on the road. They have an un- usually large stock of Bostons, kentias and miscellaneous decorative stock. Like many others, they have practically closed out on latanias. At Edgebrook they are cutting Rich- mond rose and say the plants have done especially well. In the store they like it better than Liberty. Killarney, they say, is a great keeper. Going into cut flowers will enable the company to widen its field, to take in the trade that needs cuttings and plants of roses, carnations, mumg, etc. They already have a large stock of hardy stuff for their retail trade and will eventually be able to supply the wholesale demand. Florists' Club Meeting:. The Florists' Club will hold its first meeting for the season at Handel hall this evening. E. G. Hill, of Richmond, is expected to be present and always has something interesting to say. Flower show matters will be discussed and a large attendance is expected. Variotis Notes. E. H.

Stock sizes are from 6-inch to 24-inch, but larger sizes are made to order, many buyers taking one big bell, with an electric light in it, for the cen- ter of the Christmas window decoration. A number have been ordered at $30 each. The North Shore Horticultural Society has been incorporated at Lake Forest. The incorporators are Emil Bollinger, gardener for Byron L. Smith; G. A. Blanchard. superintendent for the C. H. McCormick estate, and Geo. Koffen- holfer, gardener for L. F. Swift. The directors include many wealthy residents. An exhibition is planned. One of E. C. Amling's growers has notified him that he will have Monrovia chrysanthemums ready to cut by Sep- tember 18. It is exceptionally early to have yellow mums on the market. E. S. Thompson was at the Growers' Market last Saturday with a fine lot of dahlias from his farm at South Haven. E. E. Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros. Co., returned Monday from his hunting trip in Canada, above Quebec. The deer's head will be forwarded after it has been stuffe't and mounted. Wietor Bros, recently shipped Crabb & Hunter a large order of field-grown carnation plants. Usually the Grand Rapids firm has plants to sell, but be- cause of the high water, which flooded their fields for many days this summer, this year they are compelled to buy stock to fill their benches. Sinner Bros, are installing another rocking grate made by the Martin Grate Co., which is selling its device to so many of the north end growers. C. W. McKellar on Tuesday received the first consignment of orchids for the season. A. L. Randall was over from Michi- gan on Satur«iay. He reports a big peach crop and low prices. The heavy crop will be ready about September 23. Mr. Randall expects to return and take hold of the violet situation about Octo- ber 15. Miss Lillian Tonner, who has been at Hunt's for many years, has resigned. Mt.

Deamud had the first mums of the season September 11, Lady Fitz- wygram at $2 a dozen, but they were slow sale. Clematis paniculata at 40 to 50 cents a bunch was liked better. Visitors. Among the visitors since last issue were: Wm. F. Gude, of Washington, en route home from Colorado and enthusias- tic over mountain scenery and the pro- fuse use of flowers he noted everywhere; Geo. A. Kuhl and wife, Pekin, 111., en route home from the convention and a two weeks ' stay at Jersey shore resorts ; Paul Berkowitz, Philadelphia, the popu- lar partner of H. Bayersdorf er ; J). C. J>Joble, Columbia City, Ind., who was getting a line on the cost of 12,000 feet of glass he plans to put up early in the spring; H. F. Greve, Dallas, Tex., who recently opened the Dallas Floral Bazaar; S. J. McMichael, Findlay, O., the vegetable plant grower; J. Stern, Philadelphia, selling supplies, including a green status wreath which takes well; Vincent Gorley and R. Windt, St. Louis, the former on his way home from the convention. DETROIT. The Market. A number of very sad accidents the pa.st week resulted in business in the way of funeral work being very brisk. A number of the florists are also busv preparing their exhibits for the state fair, i'airly good carnations are to be seen in large quantities. Roses are still very poor, especially Maids, which are hardly fit to sell. White asters are still holding their own at from $1 to $2 per hundred, but, while good purple, lavender and pink sell well, it is almost impossible to dis- pose of short stuff. "Green" is plen- tiful, except smilax. Qub Meeting:. The regular meeting of the Detroit Florists' Club was held Wednesday even- ing, September 6. President-elect Wm. Dilger was escorted to the chair by A. Bemb to assume the duties of his office. After calling on the retiring president, Robert Watson, for a few remarks, Mr. Dilger thanked the members for the honor conferred on him and said that with the able assistance of the other officers and members of the club, he will see to it that the coming year is a ban- ner one. Among other things, he said he hoped in the future more use would be made of the question box, remarking that very often what look like the most absurd questions elicit the greatest amount of discussion. He also spoke of appointing a committee to arrange for a series of essays and lectures on differ- ent subjects, also to get up a few enter- tainments to take place during the year, thereby getting the ladies and sweet- hearts of the members better acquainted with one another. Mr. Dilger also thought it a very good plan to have a show of the plants and flowers in season, about every month or so, similar to those held in other cities. This being the first meeting since the convention, a number of the delegates responded with a few remarks. Of course, Washington is a very beautiful and interesting city, the fine shrubbery in the parks exciting much comment, but it seems that the Botanical Gardens made a very poor impression on the visitors; they are far behind those of European cities. Instead of every plant being a specimen, there are a lot of inferior plants, some in pots or tubs a number of sizes too large, rubbers with no leaves, etc. The only fault found with the trade exhibition Avas its being scattered, for ^f'W'WWPPiP •|i^JlKy>"'9Wtj.'<i''v^'^"l of the late H.

Miss Josephine Mero has returned from a seven weeks ' eastern trip. Henry C. Fruck, gardener to Joseph Berry, Grosse Pointe, has a new seed- ling fern said to be very fine. It has a growth similar to Wittboldii, but is of a very graceful habit. Mr. Smith, gardener at Newberry's, Grosse Pointe, received a very bad sprain of his left ankle while alighting from a car on Labor day. He will be laid up three or four weeks.

One or two small wed- dings and some funeral work was about all that was going on about town. These conditions will surely improve in the next week or so, as most of the society folks are returning from their summer vaca- tions. Most of the retail stores are looking fine, for the cleaning, painting and papering is about completed, and everybody is looking forward to a good fall trade. At the wholesale houses stock is good in all lines. Asters are beginning to give out with most of the growers; still enough are in for the demand. Boses are looking much better than a week ago. Some extra good Bride, Kaiserin, Chatenay and Carnot are in the market. Of Beauties there are enough but not of extra fine quality. Carnations are also beginning to look better but are still too small and short-stemmed to sell well. "Valley is of extra quality. Other flowers in the market are gladioli and tuberose stalks. Everything that is wanted in "greens" is in the market at usual prices, Vaxiotis Notes. Visitors the past week were J. Stern, of Philadelphia, and Mr. Schloss, of Schloss Bros., New York. T. W. Guy, at one time one of our local growers, now of St. James, Mo., spent Monday here in company with his son, E. W. Guy. Rudie Windt spent the past week trav- eling through Illinois and stopping a few days in Chicago. Vincent Gorley, one of the last of the conventionists to return, reports that he had the best trip of his life. He visited all the large eastern places, re- turning by way of Chicago. He learned a great deal in a business line from this trip. Wm. Jordan, who is running th« old Jordan greenhouse on Union avemw, re- ports that he will retire from the grow- ing business after this month. He has disposed of the old houses and the ground and will enter the retail business before the winter months are over. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. EHkWn are expected home this week from their northern sum- mer home. Arthur Ellison, who had charge of the place all summer, will then take a few days' much needed rest. Henry Lohrenz has his new place at Park and Mississippi avenues looking at its best. It is one of the attractive spots in that neighborhood. R. J. Windier, who recently opened up at Grand and Shenandoah avenues, is making a very attractive display in his show window. Bowling. The florist bowlers will enter the Palace Bowling League this fall. The seven bowlers selected are A. Y. Elli- son, C. A. Kuehn, Theo. Miller, Carl Beyer, Robt. Meinhardt, Wm. Adels and J. J. Beneke. This team will average 850 per game and should make a good showing. At the big social bowling night on September 4 it was noticed that some good timber in the bowling line is among the florists who attended. Among those who should make good bowlers are W. J. Pilcher, John Steidel, J. F. Ammann, Herman Weber, Geo. Anger- mueller, Theo. Klockenkemper and Mr. Braun. Among the old-timers who still showed good speed were Emil Schray, C. C. Sanders, Chas. Juengel and Frank Fillmore. These were all at one time prominent members of the bowling club, who never missed a night. They should be back in the club, as Dr. Osier is not looking for any of them yet. The bowling club had ten men on the alleys on Monday night. Two teams were made up for a match of three games. The night was very cool and good scores were made by Carl Beyer and Robt. Meinhardt. The scores were as follows: Team No. 1. Ist 2d 3d T'l J. J. Beneke 168 159 180 507 R.

Asters, while diminishing with some growers, are increasing with others, so that their numbers are still large. Dah- lias are coming into town in improved form. The fancies are finer than this market has ever seen before. Tea roses of improved quality are abundant, Bridesmaid showing the greatest advance in quality. Beauties are in. good de- mand. The local growers aire nearly all cutting a few now. Their flowers are of excellent quality, chiefly medium and short stems. Eeceipts of carnations are steadily increasing, but there are not enough to meet the demand. Valley is in fair supply, the best sell- ing well. The first single violets have made their appearance. Pennock Bros, had their first shipment last Saturday. Gladioli are plentiful. Hydrangeas do not sell now. Cosmos has made its ap- pearance; so has wild smilax. Various Notes. The Florists' Club goes to Atco on the 1 p. m. train from the foot of Market street, Saturday, September 16. Don't miss it. Take the "missus" and you will make no mistake. Kriemhilde promises to be the coming pink dahlia this season. It is a beauty. A bed of Dahlia Ami Barrillet seen at the Atco station made a fine effect, the single scarlet flowers contrasting beauti- fully with the deep, rich foliage. William J. Moore is receiving fine dahlias from William Bassett's Bellevue nurseries, Hammonton, N. J. He now has Lindhurst, scarlet ; Perle d 'Or, white, and Mme. Moreau, pink, and expects Kriemhilde shortly. The Dutch bulbs are here in fine form, keeping the seedsmen on the jump to get the orders out. The Leo Niessen Co. reports an ex- cellent supply of choice tea roses, with a good demand, also the first shipment of wild smilax. A local daily stated carnations could not be had on Labor day to decorate the McKinley statue. The error of this statement was forcibly impressed on me it 1432 South Penn square. William E. McKissick reports a good demand for high grade asters. Frank D. Myers enjoyed a breathing spell last month at Eaglesmere. H. Bayersdorfer & Co. report the fol- lowing visitors: W. Kalisch and F. C. Weber, St. Louis; Wm. Eehm and Harry Papworth, New Orleans. This is a lively time with the firm. They state 600 cases of goods are expected this week. All their packers are kept busy right along. John Wilson and Walter Davis joined the forces of the Leo Niessen Co. last week. M. Eice & Co. report working over- time to get their orders out promptly. In Girard College notes last week I should have written crassula, not cras- 3US. Qub Meeting. The September meeting of the Flo- rists' Club was fairly well attended and full of interest. President John West- cott occupied the chair. Edwin Lonsdale spoke of the horticultural progress of the country, dwelling on the new ideas THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE or AMERICS H.Bayersdorfer&Co. We are daily receiving choice florists' supplies of every description, that for quality and workmanship excell anything heretofore offered.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co* 50.52-54-56 N. 4fh St. PHILADELPHIA Mention The Review when you write. being developed at Washington under the government experts. John Burton urged that tha club send a committee to the national capital to inquire into ex- periments being made with the fertiliz- ing bacteria, fungicides, insecticides and other useful aids to the florist, and re- port to the club. He promised to make a motion to that effect later. Reports of committees were read and accepted. The handsome trophies won at Washington by our bowlers and marks- men were displayed. The Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa., made a fine exhibit of some dozen varieties of their canna blooms. Un- fortunately Antoine Wintzer, the speak- er of the evening, was detained at home by a heavy cold. L. K. Peacock, of Atco, N. J., made a superb exhibit of dahlias, including Twentieth Century and other fine singles of the Century type. A large rose pink, Victor Von Scheffen, never before exhibited, was much ad- mired. Mr. Peacock, who staged his exhibit in person, gave an entertaining account of the varieties shown, their habits and peculiarities, closing with a cordial invitation to the club to visit his dahlia farm. This invitation was promptly accepted. A committee con- sisting of G. C. Watson and L. K. Pea- cock was appointed to make arrange- ments for the trip. They selected Sat- urday, September 16, as the day. The 1 p. m. train from the foot of Market street will carry the party to Atco. The nominations for officers were as follows: President, Thomas B. Meehan; vice-president, Fred Hahman; secretary, Edwin Lonsdale; treasurer, J. William Colflesh. The election is to be held at the October meeting. After the regular meeting a bowling jubilee was held to christen the cups. David Rust brewed the punch in a way that proved his apprenticeship, served under John Westcott, had borne fruit. Everybody said "Here's how" with a happy smile. P. J. Lynch acted as mas- ter of ceremonies and also entertained the members with a variety of songs. Edward A. Stroud recited "The Water- melon" in negro dialect, making a hit. 'After singing "Auld Lang Syne" the party broke up in high good humor. The Ideal Salesman. The Review realizes that the position of a cut flower and plant salesman is one of importance to the grower, to the wholesaler, to the retailer and to the consumer. The Review believes that a high standard among the salesmen will do much to promote the interests of all those who buy or sell cut flowers or plants, and to promote harmony among them. The Review therefore proposes a prize essay competition similar to that held by the S. A. F. under the follow- ing conditions: The subject of the essay shall be "The Ideal Salesman." Each competitor shall mail bis essay, un- signed, on or before September 30, 1906, to Phil, care of any of the wholesale cut flower houses in this city. Each essay must be unsigned, accompanied by the writer's name and address in a sealed envelope. This envelope will not be opened until the awards have been made. The essays and sealed envelopes will be num- bered when received and the essays will be submitted to a competent judge. His awards will be announced in the Review of October 12. The first prize will be |10, the second prize $5. It is especially desired that the essays be clear, concise and to the point. Phil. The Review will send Montgomery's "Culture of Grafted Roses" on receipt of 25c. Fergus Falls, Minn. — Jacob Wolf died here September 4. He was at one time a very successful florist at Per- ham, but lost his property and his rea- son. Mitchell, S. D. — During the season E. C. Newbury has put up three new houses for roses, three for pot plants and one for lettuce. He now has 25,000 feet of glass. Winona, Minn. — ^Fuhlbruegge Bros, bought the greenhouses until recently operated by the Winona Floral Co. They will run these in connection with their former plant. -111.

L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual meetlngr will be held at San Jose, Cal., June, 1906. The government report estimates the corn crop at 2,625,000,000 bushels, a new record. The Louisiana crop of Creole onion seed is reported considerably below that of last year. Steamer manifests show considerable quantities of German clover and alfalfa seeds arriving at New York. Sweet peas and onion seed are likely to be the scarcest crops, proportionately, of all the California seed products. Crops of both peas and beans are reported to be getting shorter the longer experts continue to investigate the con- ditions prevailing. There were only five cases of bulbs on the last boat from Bermuda. A few French bulbs are still arriving, but Dutch bulbs are the principal item now. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has issued as Bulletin No. 83 "The Vitality of Buried Seeds," by J. W. T. Duvel, which will be of interest to seeds- men. Carrot seed is to be delivered in full this year, according to reports. Carrot goes farther than some other seeds and this intelligence may not be very impor- tant. Visited Chicago: H, W. Johns, of Sioux City Seed & Nursery Co., on his way to the company's bean growing sta- tion in Michigan; Harry Claire, of S. L. Allen, Philadelphia. The shortness of the onion set crop will show up after the deliveries from the fields to winter onarters have been made. The crop at Chicago is far below last year's product from an equal acre- age. M. J. Henry, of Vancouver, says that "Probably very few eastern people ap- preciate that British Columbia can and does grow quite a few varieties of seeds as good or better than some other lo- calities. British Columbia has the rec- ord of the cleanest timothy seed in Can- ada and garden peas are free from the pea weevil or beetle. We grow good plump radish, carrot, parsnip and cab- bage seed and orders for native tree seeds, such as Douglas fir, mammoth cedar and blue spruce, are continually coming in from all over the world." CLUCAS CO. ASSIGNS. The Clucas & Boddington Co., whole- sale dealers in seeds, bulbs, nursery stock and garden requisites at 131 W. Twenty-third street. New York, with a nursery at Sparkill, N. Y., made an as- signment September 7, to Frank H. Henry, of Henry & Lee. The business was started in 1895 by Eobert W. Clu- cas, and incorporated January 26, 1897, with capital stock of $3,000, which was increased May 3, 1905, to $50,000. Robert W. Clucas is president. Arthur T. Bod- dington withdrew from the company some years ago and is not affected in any way. In 1902 the company purchased nursery property at Sparkill for $11,500, and has since spent considerable on its improvement. The assignee has not yet given out a statement of assets and lia- bilities, but says he will be ready to do so in a few days. mundson, who is to be superintendent and inspector of crops. In announcing that these two young men had joined the company, C. P. Braslan said to the San Jose Mercury that : ' ' The demands of business in this line are increasing so rapidly that I find it expedient to make arrangements to meet the situa- tion. For the year 1906 we will materi- ally enlarge the acreages in various lines of s«eds that we are now growing. This arises from the increased demand made upon us, not only by the United States, but by Europe. It is perhaps not amiss to say that the acreage of this company next season will be the largest of any seed concern in the world, comprising about 4,000 acres." BRASLAN'S PLANS. The forces of the Braslan Seed Grow- ers' Co., San Jose, Cal., have been strengthened by the accession of Bussell L. Woldenberg, who is to be assistant general manager, and Joseph W. Ed- DEATH OF S. P. REES. Word has been received from Long Beach, Cal., of the death of Sam P. Bees, of the firm of Rees & Compere. He went to Los Angeles on August 30 and transacted his business. He then went to a hotel and said that as he did not feel well he would like to lie down for a few minutes before starting for home. A brief while afterward he was found dead of heart failure in the room assigned him. Mr. Rees was born in Wales more than sixty years ago. Coming to America he drifted Avestward and located at Los Angeles in 1885, in the real estate busi- ness. A few years ago he formed a partnership with Mr. Compere in the bulb and seed business and subsequently Mr. Compere Mr. Rees. Messrs. Rees and Q>mpere in their Freesia Fields at Lone Beach, CaL "-wA^*!'»^pi^^wJ,pw^■Jw^>^."P•^""|'^1''.wMll''«"'Vr'fl';V^'!''"!T•^'^^ 940 The Weekly Florists^ Review* SlSPI'KMBBB 14, 1005. removed to Long Beach, where they built up a big trade, becoming the world's largest growers of freesia bulbs. This was their specialty. A photograph reproduced in the Rkvikw of April 6, showed the extent of their fields. Th3 accompanying picture, in which both Mr. Bees and Mr. Com- pere appear, shows but a four place decimal fraction of what their business in freesia-growing has become. Oxalis is another of their spacialties, but they grow in a general way all California bulbs and supply many jobbers through- out the east. Each partner was born with a love for the soil, and the life and work at Long Beach was exactly suited to them. The business will, of course, go on uninterruptedly. Mr. Rees left a wife, two daughters and two sons. FRENCH SEED CROPS. The crop of beet seed was good in the neighborhood of Paris, but is very bad in the centre, where, however, the stock is a good one. In the south the crop is poor and the growers are very disap- pointed. Carrots seem to be pretty satisfactory. Chicory and endive will be very good in the neighborhood of Paris and pretty good in the south. But in the centre it will be bad, in consequence of the great heat. The rains of the month have not been sufficient, the soil has been dry and that will not be without a bad effect. The crop of beans is better than last year 's, but will not be very important. Lettuce of all varieties and in all parts of the country will give the best of crops; the crop is very good. The parsley crop is moderate. The product of onion and leek will be pretty small in consequence of the re- duction of the plantation. The crop of peas has been good. The purchaser does not need to hurry in plac- ing his orders. The radish crop is moderate in the neighborhood of Paris, but exceedingly bad in the south, and in the centre there is no crop at all. One report says that the crop in Holland and Germany has been favorable, but this information is yet to be verified. Salsify has been good in France, as well as in the other countries. There is a very good demand and prices are high, in consequence of many purchases for speculation. CUSTOMS DECISIONS. Following are such decisions as inter- est the seed trade, made public by th3 U. S. Board of Appraisers under date of September 7: Canary Seed. — Protest of S. L. Jones & Co. against the assessment of duty by the collector of customs at the port of San Francisco. On the authority of Nordlinger v. United States (T. D. 24976), the Board overruled the protest claiming canary seed, classified under paragraph 254, tar- iff act of 1897, to be free of duty under paragraph 656. Vetch Seed. — Protsst of Joseph Breck & Sons against the assessment of duty by the collector of customs at the port of Boston. The merchandise consisted of the seed of sand or winter vetch (Vicia villosa), classified as sesds not specially provided for under paragraph 254, tariff act of 1897. On the authority of T. D. 21762, the Board overruled the protest, claim- ing free entry under paragraph 656. LEONARD OBIO« SITS.

Vandegrift & Co. against the assessmsnt of duty by the collector of customs at the port of New York. Certain pandanus seeds, classified un- der paragraph 254, tariff act of 1897, relating to seeds not specially provided for, ware claimed to be free of duty un- der paragraph 622 as palm nuts. Pro- test overruled. Wild Asparagus Seed. — Protest of J. L*. Hopkins & Co. against the assess- ment of duty by the collector of customs at the port of New York. Certain wild asparagus seed, classified under paragraph 254, tariff act of 1897, as 83ed not specially provided for, were claimed to be free of duty under para- graph 548, relating to drugs, including, among others, "seeds aromatic, and seeds of morbid growth." There being no evidence showing th3 seed to contain any aromatic principle, and as they were clearly not of "morbid growth," the im- porters' contention was overruled. Kale Seed. — Protest of Wakem & McLaughlin against the assessmsnt of duty by ths collector of customs at the port of Chicago. The importers contend that an importation of kale seed, classi- fied under the provision for seeds of all kinds not specially provid3d for in para- graph 254, tariff act of 1897, should have been classified free of duty under para- graph 656, relating to flower and grass seeds not specially provided for. Pro- test overruled. Kal3 seed is not men- tioned by name in paragraph 656, and there is no evidence which would place it in the category of flower or grass seeds. ' ' Kale ' ' app3ars to be a term used loosely in Scotland to cover cabbage in general, and by extension any kind of greens; and when used specifically, both thera and elsewhere, refers to "any va- riety of cabbage with curled or wrinkled leaves not forming compact heads like the common cabbage.

Easter of 1906 falls on April 15, eight days earlier than in 1905. RING OFF. Can you advise a retail florist what to do when a cheap female customer calls over the phone and asks if you will send her a wreath frame and some moss, that she wants to make a wreath for a friend who is dead! Stiles Co. BOSTON FERNS AND ASPARAGUS. Can I grow Boston and aspaxagus ferns in a house used to grow bedding plants? The temperature is as low as 42 degrees. Also, can I get blooms on cyclamens in May from seed that is sown in September t C. G. Forty-two or even 45 degrees is too low to grow either of these plants. There will be no profit in it. They will only exist. The nephrolepis is a most accommodating fern and, considering they were natives of Central America, they endure and keep healthy in a much lower temperature than would be sup- posed. The asparagus (presumably plumosus is meant) is also from a warm climate, but exists in good health in a temperature of 50 degrees. Forty-two is altogether too low. They would stand still. No, you cannot sow cyclamen seed this month and get any size to your plants by next May. September is the month to sow cyclamen and those plants are expected to bloom a year from next November and December. Now I want, in the kindliest feeling, to tell C. G. that I am surprised that a commercial florist would be so careless as to speak of "Boston and asparagus ferns." We expect Aunt Maria, from tho country, when she visits the city flo- rist, to use such nomenclature because she has a red-hot poker plant, as well as a beefsteak geranium, but the commer- cial florist should lead in calling our plants by their correct names and the asparagus is no more allied to the great fern order than is a cauliflower.

Florists' Review Whra Writing Advertissrs. TORONTO. The Market Trade during the past week has been of about the usual September charac- ter, with nothing unusual about it. Quite a number of small weddings have taken place, but none of them called for more than a few small bouquets. Consider- able funeral work has been on the go, but most of the pieces were small. Asters and gladioli are shortening con- siderably, while roses and carnations ap- pear to be coming very slowly. All the growers report the stock looking well and blooms will be more plentiful in a short time. Geo. Allin, of Toronto Junction, is sending in some very nice carnations and Beauties, although the cut is lim- ited. The Fall Exhibition. The exhibition brought in the largest attendance of out-of-town visitors that has yet been recorded. The competition in the floral department was keen. W. A. Adams, of BuflFalo, acted as judge for the floral designs and cut flowers. Jos. Bennett, of ^♦^ontreal. was judge of plants and plant arrangements. The fol- lowing is a list of the awards: Bouquet, hand or bridal, first, the Rosary; second, J. H. Dunlop; third, J. 8. SlmuioiiB. Funeral design, flat, not to exceed fourteen Inches, first, J. S. Simmons; secoMd, W. Jay & Son; third, Holland.. Funeial harp, not to exceed thirty -six Inches finished, first. Jay; second, Dnnlop; third, Man- ton Bros. Floral design for table, first, Simmons; sec- ond. Jay; third, Dunlop. Best arranged basket of c«t Sowers, first, Simmons; second, Dunlop. It might be mentioned in this connection that J. S. Simmons was ruled out on his 36-inch harp by having the base, which was a flat mat, thirty-nine inches. The design was an elegant piece of work, and the judge made the statement pri- vately afterwards that he would have awarded it first had it been within the required measurements. Holland, the Queen street florist, put in a harp which was three inches too high, and which was also ruled out. In roses and carnations. J. H. Dunlop took first and Manton Bros, second, being the only two exhibitors In this class. In dahlias the winners were Wm. Rennle, Steele-Brlggs Co. and J. H. Lock. For collection of cannas Wm. Sennle was first. In annuals the largest winners were Chas. Scott, Wm. CalTlni J. W. Stockdale and Jas. . Ogllvle. J. H. Lock's new aster, Kate Lock, carried off the red tickets In the aster line. A magnificent collection of sweet peas was exhibited by Mrs. Edgar Johnston, LennoxvUle, Que., and carried- off the red ticket. In perennials and shrubs Wm. Rennle, Manton Bros., Chas. Scott, Steele-Brlggs Co. and Peter Murray were the principal winners. In lilies Grainge'r & Co. and Manton Bros, were winners. The best collections of cut flowers were those of Grainger & Co., Peter Murray, Manton Bros, and Chas. Scott. In plants and plant arrangements Exhibition park won the following: Both first and second on twelve stove and greenhonse plants; second on caladlums; first on crotons. dracaenaa, twen- ty-four ferns. Begonia Rex. specimen flowering plants; second on crotons, forty foliage plants, twelve tuberous begonias, palms and cycads; first on orchid collection. W. Jay won second on fifty ferns; flrst on tuberous begonias; third on foliage plants. Steele-Brlggs Seed Co. was second on twenty- four ferns. Thos. Manton was fourth on twelve stove and greenhouse plants, forty foliage plants; flrst on specimen fern, fern never exhibited before; second on flowering plants and large group. Allan Gardens was second on twelve crotons; third on twelve greenhonse plants; first on twelve flowering plants; third on three stove and greenhouse specimens; flrst on six crotons; second on twelve dracaenas; third on specimen fern; second on twelve foliage plants and be- gonias; flrst on geraniums; second on specimen fern; flrst on large group. Central Prison was flrst on twelve caladlums; third on six crotons, twelve crotons; flrst on specimen fern, six adlantnms, forty foliage plants, twelve foliage plants, one foliage plant, palms and cycads; second on collection of orchids. D. Robertson was second on six adiantums; third on forty foliage plants; fourth on large group. Government house was second on twelve greenhouse plants, three greenhonse plants; fourth on six crotons; third on twelve dracae- nas; third on specimen fern; fourth on foliage plants; third on begonias, palms and cycads, and large group. VariofM Notes. Toronto's latest addition in the line of flower stores. The Rosary, opened its doors September 2. It is certainly a very neat store; all its appointments are very tasteful. Ford, of 19 King street. West, has moved to the College Flower Shop's old stand, 445 Yonge street. Misses A. & G. Crawley have opened a flower and confectionery store at 167 Dundas street. D. J.

The American Association of Ceme- tery Superintendents meets at Washing- ton, D. C, next week. The Southern Kailway is endeavoring to secure the establishment of a number of additional nurseries in its territory. E. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind,, presi- dent of the American Association of Nurserymen, is on a trip in the north- west. He passed through Chicago Sep- tember 7. On accoudt of the yellow fever the National Nut Growers' Association has postponed its second annual convention, scheduled for Dallas, October 25 to 27. A new date will be announced later. The president is G. M. Bacon, DeWitt, Ga., the secretary J, F. Wilson, Poulan, C^a. A. WiLUS, Ottawa, Kan., is delegated to represent the American Association of Nurserymen at the American Pomo- logical Society's biennial meeting at Kansas City September 19 to 21. W. C. Barry is down to respond to the mayor's address of welcome and C. L. Watrous has a place on the program. Many other nurserymen will attend. C. A. McNabb, secretary of the Okla- homa territorial board of agriculture, is taking especial interest in the enforce- ment of the law passed by the last leg- islature for inspection of nursery stock and the licensing of outside nurserymen. All outside firms are required to submit certificates from the state inspectors in their own states, made out on forms fur- nished by the Oklahoma board, and giv- ing statistics from which an idea of the firm's reliability is supposed to be gained. WESTERN CXASSMCATION. E. Albertson, president of the Ameri- can Association of Nurserymen, who is winding up some of his work as chair- man of the transportation committee, has been notified of a number of concessions by the Western Classification Committee. The principal changes are as follows: Sawdust rates wiU henceforth apply on waste excelsior. Mr. Albertson has one instance where this change makes a dif- ference of $69 a car to the consignee and makes the trafSc possible. The former car minimum of 20,000 pounds is suc- ceeded by the following schedule: For cars thirty-six feet six inches or less, 16,000 pounds; for cars thirty -six to forty -five feet, 20,000 pounds; for cars forty-five feet six inches and up, 24,000 pounds. Peach pits take fourth class on less than car lots; minimum car of 24,000 pounds remains unchanged. It had been hoped to get this reduced. Mr. Albert- son has record of sixty car-load lots which were moved last season. ery of nurswy stoek. We flmd ordiardft throughout thu county so much neglected that the fruit is of little consequence. It would be hard to find a wagon-load of one good variety, to say nothing of a car-load. So of course there is no mar- ket for such apples as are produced. We therefore believe that we will do the community and ourselves a much greater service by urging the planting of or- chards of 100 or more trees of one good commercial variety and giving them proper care, and then when they come into bearing the orchardist will not be dependent on local markets. What va- rieties would you recommend for nortn- em Indiana t Any information bearing on this subject will be thankfully re- ceived. F. A. F. Nobody plants a commercial apple or- chard in northern Indiana without in- cluding Ben Davis; if it is a big orchard it is pmrt Ben Davis; if a small orchard, Ben Davis and nothing else. Northern Indiana and southern Michigan are Greening and Baldwin territories, but I presume this inquiry is from too far south to make the recommendation of the Greening advisable. Jonathan is a fine variety; if it does well in your neigh- borhood there is nothing which will com- mand a surer market. At Yincennes, in the southern part of the state I saw some fine crops of Jonathan a few days ago, also good crops of Grime's Golden, which root-rots with us at Bridgeport. "V^inesap and Stark are also varieties which are to be recommended. E. Albertson. APPLES IN INDIANA. The writer conducts a seed store in northern Indiana and as business has been rather quiet through the summer months, be has been arranging for a fall deliv- OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN. Please state the best way to proceed to have a satisfactory bed next season of campanula, foxglove and sweet william, when to prepare bed, when to plant and to secure blooming plants for next sea- son, in Maryland. J. B. B. To secure strong blooming plants of foxgloves, sweet williams and campanu- las (we presume you refer to C. media, better known as Canterbury bell) seed should be sown not later than June 1, in a frame. Cover the seeds lightly, ven- tilate moderately only and keep sashes well shaded until the seedlings appear. Do not allow them to become dry at any time. Gradually inure to sunlight and remove the sashes. Choose a moist, show- ery day to transfer them to nursery rows. Allow the foxgloves and campan- ulas a foot apart in the rows. Half that distance will suffice for the sweet Williams. Keep the plants well culti- vated and clean of weeds during the growing season. In Massachusetts we plant out about the middle of October, in beds well ma- nured. A month later should be suffi- ciently early in Maryland. In this lati- tude campanulas and foxgloves are of doubtful hardiness, even when covered with a thin coating of leaves, after se- vere weather sets in, and we find it ad- visable to carry a good number of frames, where we pack them over with perfectly dry leaves after the ground about them is hard frozen and place sashes on. If a bed is needed this season it would be necessary to secure plants from some nurseryman or florist, but as all these varieties are of easy culture the best results will be obtained by saving seeds in May or June next year and treating as advised. A winter coating of leaves would be advisable even in MaiTiand. The sweet williams flower better the second year, but foxgloves and campaaulas should be raised fT«8h each season. W. N. C. GRAPES NOT SEMI-TROPICAL. The following is a decision of the U. S. General Appraisers made public Sep- tember 7: Grape Plants. — Protest of de L. Vil- lamil & Co. against the assessment of duty by the collector of customs at the port of San Juan. The importers con- tended that small grapevine plants im- ported from Spain, which were classi- fied under the provision in paragraph 252, tariff act of 1897, for "plants and vines, commonly known as nursery or greenhouse stock, ' ' should have ; been classified as free of duty under para- graph 560, relating to "fruit plants, tropical or semi-tropical," etc Protest overruled. In his decision General Appraiser Waite said: The word "semi-tropical," aa nsed In para- graph 560, undoubtedly baa tbe aame meaning as "subtropical," which la defined in the Cen- tury Dictionary as follows: Of a climate or other pbyalcal character be- tween tropical and temperate; approaching the tropical or torrid zone in temperature; noting a region on the confines of either tropic, or Its plants, animals, and other natural prodactlona; as, sabtropical America; a subtropical fauna or fiora. In the opinion of the Board, 'paragraph 660 la intended to extend only to fruit plants which may be classed among tropical or subtropical flora, and would not extend to plants IndigenouB to temperate countries, imported fur cultivation or propagation, in tropical or subtropical regions within or under the Jurisdiction of the United States. According to the Encyclopedia Britannlca and other authorities, the Vitis Tlnifera, or Euro- pean grape, is the best-known and longest-cultl- vated species of the genus ritis. whl<-b is said to comprise more than 200 species of grapea. The same authority says that many apeciea of the genus yitls are of tropical or subtropical origin, and it would seem that the native coun- try of the European vine itself is considered to be the tropical or subtropical countries aonth of the Caspian. ("Vine," Encyclopedia Britan- nlca.) However this may be, we- are of opinion that the varieties of Vitis vinlfera wtalcb have been cultivated for many hundreds of years in Europe, flourlsbing, as Is well known. In such countries as Italy, France, Spain and Germany, have lost the character of tropical or subtropical plants, whatever may have been their origin. In re Henderson, G. A. 749 (T. D. 11574); T. D. 18438, It may fairly be presumed that the plants in controversy are varieties of the European grape, perhaps culti- vated at or near Vigo, Spain, which has ap- proximately the same latitude as New York. There was no evidence introduced in the case, the importers having failed to respond in any way to the Board's notice of hearing. HYDRANGEAS Strong^ plants from outdoor beds. OTAXBA TB08. KOOO.

Taylor has an ivy geranium of which he does not know the name, but the flower re- sembles Guy Lewis, which has given him a fine double sport, very pale pink, almost white, tinged with purple in the center. This in turn has sported back to a very deep pink, a fine thing. The light sport he has named Tahoma and the dark one Alki. He will work up a stock of each. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. The weather continues warm, with an endless array of flowers. Carnations are becoming plentiful but roses continue scarce; in fact, there is no fancy stock offered of any kind. Asters still are in the lead, although they give evidences of being rather closely cut. Lilies are not so plentiful as they were and remain in good demand. Dahlias and gladioli are almost out of season. Smilax is getting firmer and longer of string and maiden- hair continues plentiful. Various Notes. John H. Sievers & Co. report the de- mand for stock of their new carnation, Hannah Hobart, continues unabated. The show of lilies in ths windows of Pelieano & Co. is one of the sights of Kearney street. Leopold & Ephraim had a good run of funeral orders during the month of August. Frank Armanino, of Golden Gate, has finished replanting his houses. They are devoted principally to the standard varieties of roses. Three houses are kept for maidenhair and asparagus. Chas. Beebe, of Trumbull & Beebe, states that his firm is receiving large or- ders for fall bulbs and that the prospect for business is good in all departments. Culligan & Co., successors to Geo. B. Jones, are experts in the line of window decorations. Their show of fine flowers •is one of the largest and best on Sutter street. John M. Holland has returned from a trip to southern California. Geo. Rhodes will take a three weeks' vacation, visiting Portland, Tacoma and Seattle. The Realty Syndicate greenhouses, be- yond Piedmont, are now at their best. The display of ferns, palms and stove plants cannot be excelled in this neigh- borhood. John Pflond has the stock in charge. P. J. Keller has decided to build sev- eral greenhouses on his grounds on Pied- mont avenue, Oakland. Mr. Keller has been out of the florists' business for sev- eral years. Miss Solomon, associated several years ago with Miss Bates, the decorator, has moved to East Oakland and is building up quite a trade. H. Gresens, of Alameda, has given up his interest in landscape gardening and in future will devote his entire time to his florist and plant business. G. SEATTLE. WASH. Buildins: and Other Notes. As mentioned a few weeks ago, the talk of a new firm commencing business at South Park has materialized. Three houses 20x150 are in course of construc- tion, under the management of Robert Prentice. Our violet grower, Frank J. Bell, is also enlarging his plant by the addition of one house, 35x150. He believes in wide houses for violets and carnations. His place is situated on the north side of Lake Washington and is rather a hard place to get at. When I came to the sign of the Eureka Gardens I could not but exclaim, "I have found it!" And, sure enough, Mr. Bell was there, perched in an apple-tree, doing some acrobatic stunts in trying to reach some fruit on the topmost branches. Our city park superintendent, J. W. Thompson, also has the building craze, one house, 20x100, being enough for a start, he thinks. Malmo & Co. are planning an exten- sive range of glass at their nursery, sit- uated on the old Renton line, and grad- ing is being done on the ground which the houses are to occupy. Chas. Hofmeister, proprietor of the Lake Washington Greenhouses, is back from a visit to the Portland fair. The dates for the mum show are No- vember 15 to 18. A distinguished visitor was P. O 'Mara, who visited most of our leading florists. Other visitors lately have been the Judd brothers, of North Yakima, and J. Paris, of Everett. A. B. MAKING A LAWN. The month of September is one of the best times in the year to make a lawn. Many people have an idea that a lawn can be started in the middle of winter, or very early in spring, to ad- vantage, but this is not so. Kentucky blue grass is used almost exclusively on this coast for lawn making, unless for a situation that is very shady or where it is to be tramped on, in which case Aus- tralian rye grass will give better results. My reason for naming this month as one of the best for planting any sort of a lawn is that blue grass or clover will ger- minate in four days and in three weeks it is possible to give the first weeding. In the winter, when the ground is cold, it may take as long as two months for the grass to show itself nicely and in the meanwhile the weeds will have almost choked out the good grass or clover. In the summer or early fall the grass will grow fully as fast as the weeds and, if it be kept sufficiently moist, will form a good sod before the colder weather checks its growth. If the lawn has been weeded a couple of times there need be no further worriment about the re- sult. The first item when planting is con- templated is to see that the ground has been well spaded. If it is sandy or poor dig in plenty of well rotted manure and after the surface has been well raked, it is ready for the seed. Kentucky blue grass, if the situation is favorable, makes the most enduring sod. Many people like a mixture of clover with it. The White Dutch variety is the best for this purpose and should be planted in the proportion of one pound to six of the other. Clover in time will tend to cuoke out the blue grass, especially if the situation be at all shady, but of it- ■ vV •V. ■j-y"^--- •■ n Sbptbmbm 14, 1906.

When the seed is sown it is a good idea to cover the ground very lightly with straw, as this saves considerable watering, and watering with us in the summer and f alL is often the most expen- sive part of gardening. However, it is necessary to keep the surface of the ground constantly moist until the grass comes up evenly. In about three weeks^ at this season, it will be ready for the first weeding, after which if any spots appear bare a handful of seed may be sprinkled on them. With Australian rye grass it is equally as important to properly water, although when th3 grass has grown for several months it wUl get along with consider- ably less attention. It roots very deep- ly, will grow in almost any location and, making such a dense mat, it chokes out all foreign weeds in a short time. It will stand considerable abuse from tramping without dying out and if cut suflBciently oftsn makes a very fair sward. If allowed to go too long with- out trimming it is very difficult to cut, and then makes a very poor showing for several weeks. It will stand for several months with hardly any moisture and in this regard is quite the reverse from blue grass. The principal trouble with the latter is to get it to survive the first winter, for it is easily killed by too much water or shade, but if once well established it makes an ideal lawn and lasts for years if noxious weeds are kept from getting a foothold. It needs trim- CLEARING SALE CALLA BULBS RIPE, FINE BULBS Per 100 Per 250 Calla Bulbs, I in. diameter . . $3.00 $7.50 Calla Bulbs, J^ in. diameter . . 4.00 10,00 Calla Bulbs, 2 in. diameter . . 5 00 12 00 Calla Monsters, 3K in. diameter 10.00 20.00 Elliott's Little Gem, Dormant . 1.20; per 1000, $10 The above are the Ripest Bulbs we have had this season.

The Market One does not always care to tell the same story, but sometimes necessity com- pels us to. September has not brought much improvement in business and stock is in abundance. Asters are fine but the specials supply the demand; grades below that are lost. Qub Meeting. President Langhans called the Flo- rists' Club to order September 5 with a very fair representation of members present. An interesting talk on summer flowers was given by John Zimmerman, which he illustrated with a large variety of cut blooms from the institution at Dixmont. Mr. "Wolf, of Emsworth, also showed plants of fancy-leaved caladium and Nsegelia Geroltiana, which were ad- mired by all. The president called on those who had been to Washington to report what they had seen and heard at the convention. Bedding plants and bedding generally was discussed at some length and many comparisons drawn between this city and those visited, none of which were disparaging to this city. All spoke highly of the departments which came under Mr. Brown, where they found many good things well done. Special mention was made of the kind treatment they re- ceived at the hands of the Washington and Baltimore florists, and on motion the secretary was instructed to write the thanks of the club for the attention shown our members. During the evening many members present were at a loss to understand why John Zimmerman seemed so inter- ested in mentioning the ladies, and bring Ihem into every discussion, but before the meeting adjourned he admitted that he had found the best little Scotch girl in the world and that they had made the trip to the convention their bridal tour. Congratulations were then in order. Various Notes. Visitors of the week were J. A. Peter- son, Cincinnati; Martin Eeukauf, of Philadelphia; W. A. Herbert, Wellsville, O.; E. M. Hall, Fairmont, W. Va., with his bride passing through the city and stopped oflF to hear the Damrosch orches- tra and to see his friends. W. J. Smith, better known as Jarve, is receiving congratulations.

A good many of our flower buyers are now be- ginning to arrive home from the summer resorts and that will help matters great- ly. A little funeral work helps, but there is still a surplus in most lines, Roses are coming in larger quantities and every day sees them improving. Car- nations are also improving rapidly. Some very fine asters are to be had but move slowly. The poorer grades are hard to move at any price. There are many tuberoses on the market and they move very slowly. "Green goods" are in good supply, with the exception of smilax, which is very scarce. Various Notes. E. G. Gillett has just returned from a trip among the growers of Indiana and Ohio. The regular meeting of the Florists' Society was held September 9, but few of the members were present. Wm. Murphy, who is still up north, not being present, Ben George was in the chair. It was decided to have a general dis- cussion at our next meeting of the best methods to use in conducting our regu- lar flower shows. A large meeting is expected and all members are requested to come prepared to give their ideas on this subject. Chas. Crouch and wife, of Knox\'ille, Tenn., are spending a few days in this city on their way home from the con- vention. C. J. Ohmer. Andover, O. — R. A.

Stocks of window glass are becoming scarcer every day, and as few of the largest manufacturers have yet suc- ceeded in coming to an agreement with their workmen for the ensuing season it appears likely that supplies will soon be exhausted. As the demand is increasing greatly it is expected that prices will soon be advanced again, although they were only recently raised ten to fifteen per cent. Sizes 24, 26 and 28-inch are especially scarce, and there are almost no available stocks of the* 24-inch size. Premiums are still being paid for the most desirable sizes. The discounts off the October, 1903, list are ninety and ninety and ten per cent on the first two brackets of single and double B. All other sizes of B take a discount of eighty-nine per cent, while all sizes of A are entitled to a discount of eighty- eight per cent.

MASS. - xx^s X I'x^dXox TXd : - SOIL FOR ASTERS. Will you kindly inform me the kind of soil most suitable for the growing of asters? Does the aster require heavy fertilized land and if so what fertilizer would you advise to obtain the best results? Is nitrate of soda beneficial? If so, when should it be applied? D. E. We have seen asters grown finely in very different textures of soil, providing it was dug or ploughed deeply and in the best mechanical condition. We have in mind a fine lot of asters in a heavy clay, but the man dug deep, worked in a lot of farmyard manure and watered them continually. We have seen equally as good on a dark, friable, rather grav- elly loam, so we believe quality of soil is not of much consequence, but cultiva- tioDi is. The soil should be dug or ploughed deeply and fertilized with farmyard manure. We have never tried nitrate of soda on asters. Our experience with this ma- nure, dry, on carnation beds, makes us cautious. As a liquid one pound in fifty gallons of water would add size and color to the flowers, but it should not be necessary. Deep soil for the roots, plenty of barnyard manure and copious waterings during dry spells is all that is needed to produce good asters. W. S. BUSINESS CONDITIONS. E. G. Dun & Co., the great commer- cial agents, say of general business con- ditions, which have an important bear- ing on our trade: "Commercial news continues most sat- isfactory, improvement being reported in almost every case, except the further decline in prices of securities. Crops are being harvested under most favor- able conditions. Industrial progress is accelerated by the broadening demand for iron and steel products. Textile mills and shoe factories are well occu- pied, while the demand for material tes- tifies to the extension of building opera- tions. Considering the prosperous condi- tions labor struggles are exceptionally few. Eetailers report a wholesome dis- tribution of staple merchandise, and there are comparatively few complaints regarding collections.

SCORES or FLORISTS USE Hammond's Grape Dust CHRYSANTHEMUMS AND CARNATIONS This comes from Wallace Gouebsall. superintendent of the famous " Wodenetbe." owned and finely maintaiued by Wintbrop Sargent, Esq.. Pisbkill-on-Hudson. N. 7 : " For chrysanthemums we use OftAFB DUST with tbe best reitults by freely dusting with it until the delicate blooms come, then we are a bit shy of it to prevent any staining of the petals, but during the green state even in bad weather, there is no trace of fungus, and we keep free of the spot. I have recommended it to many gardeners, and so far my acquaintances have found it very valuable. In crmmon with many gardeners and florists. I have found it of great value in oheckiug the rust on carnations. It is not expensive to use, for by using in air bellows it diffuses itself everywhere, and Is in my judgment, a valuable every day article. For roses it is of exceptional benefit against mildew." How to Use Grape Dust for Violets, etc., in file Greenliouse. Fill the house with du^t as soon as the plants are set. and let it settle over the plants, or put one pound to a pail of water and spray it finely over everything, plants ground, benches, etc. Spores are likelv to rettle anywhere about and prevfntinn is the best remedy.

TIic Market A '.'onfinuation of cool Heather, with light showers, has caused a brisk de- mand for flowers and prices have an up- ward tendency. Quite a number of large funerals, and some wedding orders, have kept things cleared up. Roses are of better quality, although prices have not changed materially. Some very good Brides, Maids and Gates are on the mar- ket, but as yet Beauties are scarce and what few come in are of poor quality. Carnations are to be seen and, for so early in the season, are good. Prices are a shade better than formerly. There are some very fine asters on the market and they are bringing good prices. Tuberoses and other outdoor blooms come in handy these days for work and are being ust'd considerably. Various Notes. The Bowling Club met in regular ses- sion last Tuesday. Tliore was a good at- tendance, notwithstanding the night was wet, and some good records were made. R. S. Brown, we regret to say, is still suffering with varicose veins and is un- able to get around witliout the aid of crutches. The boys arc hoping that it v.ill not be long before he will be with us again. W. H. Cuip Co., of Wichita, Kan., re- ports business as increasing very satis- factorily, necessitating an increase in their working force. C. A. Doty, 1125 Main street, has rented his flower space to Mr. Ebberfield, of the Alpha Floral Co., and a party from Omaha, who will open, for business about September 14. The Tsusiness will be conducted under Mr. Doty's name. Geo. Kessler, landscape architect for the Park Board, has completed his scheme of the floor of Convention hall as it will appear when the different flower show exhibits are placed. Wyatt Robinson, decorator for the Priests of Pallas, will do the work. The idea is imique, as every exhibit can be seen from the main entrance, doing away with the necessity of going to the roof gar- den to see what is on the floor.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 979 Beware Early Frost Not so many days ago a chill went over the country, at least over the east- ern states, cool enough tj remind us what we must soon expect. In this par- ticular locality we have seldom seen the most tender plants hurt by frost during September, yet twenty-five miles east and away from the influence of Lake Erie we have seen dahlias, gladioli, asters and all garden flowers cut down on September 19, I only quote this that you can de- pend on no date for our flrst killing frost. It may hang off until early No- vember or swoop down with a withering blast the first of October. To be reminiscent a moment, some twenty years ago the weather up to Oc- tober 9 had been so warm and balmy every one around here was off his guard. It had not been below 50 degrees, night or day, since the previous May. On that fatal day down came a cutting black frost of 6 degrees — and what havoc there was! Far better had we gone by dates and been properly prepared. Fire Heat. This is a time of the year when there is plenty of scope for the exercise of judgment in forcing. Rose growers have, of course, had steam on for weeks, to dispel the dampness and chill that we get toward daylight, and a little heat in the pipes would be of great benefit to many of our choicest plants. Poinscttias and begonias will soon show the effects of several chilly, damp nights. A little air and a little heat are the ideal conditions that suit most of our tender soft wooded plants. Shading. Another reminder is to get the perma- nent shading off your houees. Very few plants need any more shading and the few that do can be shaded for a few hours if necessary. Plants do not burn or Buffer by the direct sun in the fall as they do after months of dark winter, (iet your glass clean, for you will soon need all the light you can get. Lift the Stock Plants. There should be no delay in lifting and potting any plants you need for Ktock or flowering, such as a few acal- ypha, Salvia splendens, stevia, etc. It is all very well to think you can run with a spade and do all this when you ' feel Jack Frost approaching. There is too much to do that afternoon. Get f them potted and standing outdoors and yon can hustle a lot of potted stuff un- der shelter in a hurry. Early Harrisii. Lilium Harrisii that were potted in July and have been in a cold frame since are mostly well rooted and can be put into a warm, light house and you should have the earliest in flower in November, These lily bulbs by no means all start together and the average florist does not want them ail to flower together, so se- lect the strongest and most forward weekly. Their time of flowering will ex- tend over two months, but they will all get there in time. Once more let me remind you not to neglect to thoroughly water your flats of Romans, Paper Whites and other French bulbs. This is oxten a dry month and it takes a heavy rain to penetrate the covering of the flats and down to the roots. Poinsettias. Let me remind you that this month is late enough to make up your pans of poinsettias or shift any plants that you intend to grow singly. When growing, with large green foliage, the poinsettia is very impatient of its roots being dis- turbed, so plants-in .4-inch pots should go into the flowering pot, a 6-inch, and little plants in 2^ -inch or 3-inch should be selected for pans of various sizes, Lorraine Begonias. Gloire de Lorraine begonias are now making, a wonderful growth. They will natursSly take plenty of water when growing so vigorously but should always be watered with care. Take the water- ing pot and look at each plant. There are very few experts with the hose and this plant wants no water on the foli- age. Occasionally plants of this gem will make shoots of extra strength, a little out of proportion to the plant. The two or three top joints of these strong shoots can be taken off and root readily in flats or pans of sand and will make very fine plants for next year, fully as good as the best leaf cuttings. Hydrangeas. Those who have suitable soil plant out their hydrangeas. Fine plants can be produced this way, but not as surely as by growing them in pots. Do not delay in lifting and potting them at once. They will be all the better for being es- tablished in the pots. Do not let them suffer for want of water when first lift- ed. You can ripen their wood and buds later, when you bring them in the houses, -Expert growers of hydrangeas do not want any frost on their buds. One de- gree of frost may do no harm, but two or three will. Let the ripening be done by gradually withholding water and not by frost. Gypsophila. Every florist of artistic taste should grow GypsophUa paniculata and plenty of it. it is true it will grow in any gar- den, but we do not see enough of it. Here is the difference. In a hotel lately the dinner tables were decorated with poor, liver-colored asters, which would produce the blues if you did not already possess them; stiff, formal, hideous, and you turned to the faces of the old maids who waited table for relief. In Wash- ington, during the convention, we noticed in some restaurants vases of gol- den rod very loosely arranged, but scat- tered through them and above them this beautiful gypsophila. Baby's Breath, It may have been very inexpensive but an object of art and beauty. You can buy and plant it now, or wait until spring and buy a packet of seed now and win- ter the plants in a cold frame. It is the same refined taste that would admire and want gypsophila that demands our sweet stevia at Christmas. . f..<\i . William Scott. EARLY VARIETIES. The first mums of the season are be- ginning to be heard from. I saw last week a fine flower of Elsie Fulton, and Monrovia and other kinds are nearly ready. Almost before we know it we shall be once more in the old-time rush. It cannot be said that there is much money in the extra early flowers. In September the market has not yet begun to move to any great extent and, in ad- dition to this, asters and dahlias are flne and come into direct competition with the chrysanthemum, so that while an odd dozen flowers are all right as a novelty, there is no real market for them at this early date. For the past two years a sharp frost has occurred around October 1 with us and this, by killing everything outside, has created a fine market for early flower- ing varieties. With an open fall these favorable conditions do not occur and I recall that some four or five years ago the price of early flowers was so absurdly low, owing to the fact that the market was filled with dahlias, cosmos and other flowers, that many growers temporarily abandoned the growing of early varie- ties. Last year on October 1 Monrovia was selling for $5 a dozen in New York and the same grade of flowers a few days later was not worth half that sum. Ventilation. We can only hope for a killing frost again this year. Already the thermometer has registered 36 degrees with us and this is a strong reminder that from now on we must pay attention to the ventila- tion. The days are still warm^t when the night temperature gets near the freezing point the ventilation must be reduced and the houses run at from 45 to 50 degrees. Never close the ventilators tight in houses where the buds are show- ing color. Leave on an inch or so of air to prevent the condensation of moisture on the petals or much damping of the flowers will result. It is far better to leave on a little air and run enough heat through the pipes to maintain the tem- perature at the proper point. ^W^K 980 The Weekly Rorists' R^ew^ A September 21, 1905. Spraying and Feeding. Spraying should be discontinued as soon as the buds crack their husky cov- ering or the water will lodge in the crevices and many buds will be spoiled. This is particularly true of kinds Hke the Batons, which form a hollow de- pression in the center of the bud, afford- ing an excellent chance for water to lie there. A much drier atmosphere should be maintained from now on and the paths of the house and the foliage should be dry by night. As the crop finishes very much less water is needed than when the plants were growing rapidly. Feeding, too, must be stopped as the buds show color or the petals will damp, an excess of nitrogenous manure mak- ing the petals so soft that they literally melt away whop the night moisture strikes them. This applies, of course, to the early flowers. Later varieties where the buds are still small are just now in the best possible shape for feed- ing, though the dose should never be very strong. ^^^^^ jj_ ^^^^^ foliage. Mme. Marie Masse, of which t>re now have so many shades of color, maies the best dwarf plants for early \^ork. _ Horace Martin is still the most useful early yellow. \ Both in cut bloom and plants, a ^ood deal of very rough material comes intlp the market. The plants which are takei) up from the ground while in bud find some demand for plantiog .^Mit in-beds,^ yet they have to go out at very low \ prices, there being too many of these on the market. I may again revert to the fact that in putting chrysanthemums on the market, much depends upon the pack- ing. Last season we bad some excellent examples of bunching and also packing specimen blooms at the market growers ' show. One most important item I have noted is that blooms of various sizes should not be mixed together. It is not only that their proper value can be bet- ter estimated, but in all florist's work, it is much handier to have them of equal size, and in some cases it is quite neces- sary. The extra large specimen blooms cut with long stems should be packed Part of the Group from Harvard Batanic Gardens, at B3ston, September 14 to 17. without bunching, the medium size made up in bunches of six blooms, and the smaller twelve blooms in a bunch. Those not disbudded have to be made up in bunches of equal size without regard to the number of blooms,, but it is best to have about an equal number of stems in each bunch. It is perhaps unnecessary to give any instructions to the majority — «f growers, yet I am often ediown ex- amples ef bad packing in the market, and this has suggested the above re- Vmarks. ' ^ THE BOSTON EXHIBITION. The MassachuEetts Horticultural So- ciety's annual exhibition of plants, flowers, fiuits and vegetables, which was held at Horticultural hall, Boston, from September 14 to 17, was a most success- ful one, there being good displays in all departments. The most noticeable fall- ing off was in crotons, caladiums and other colored-leaved plants. These are less popular here than a few years ago. Stove plants generally are also less grown- on private estates, the owners preferring to have plants grown requir- ing temperatures which will permit of their being -inspected with a greater de- gree of comfort. This is a regrettable fact. The main exhibition hall was entirely filled with groups and specimen plants, and presented a very attractive appear- ance. For the best finished group cov- ering 200 square feet of space Mrs. John L. Gardner, Wm. Thatcher, gar- dener, won with a splendid group, finely arranged, Edward McMulkin being sec- ond. For pair of specimen palms Mrs. Gardner, A. F. Estabrook, George Bar- ker, gardener, and E. McMulkin won in order named. Mrs. Gardner had the best specimen greenhouse plant, showing the glory pea of Australia, Gloriosa superba. The same exhibit took first and second for six stove and greenhouse plants, first for six caladiums, specimen fern, six dracsenas, ten Begonia Eex and tub of Ouvirandra fenestralis. A. F. Estabrook had the best five specimen ferns and five adiantums and was second for specimen fern and cycas. D. F. Boy, from the C. C. Converse es- MUMS AT LONDON. We had chrysanthemums in the Lon- don market earlier than usual this sea- son, says a writer in the Horticultural Trade Journal. The first good blooms came in about July 18; these were Ma- dame Desgranges, and might be called specimen blooms. Both the white and the yellow varieties were equally good. Here is an instance of what may be done by careful selection ; for though still going under the old name they were clearly a much improved form. When referring to these in a chat with another grower who does pot chrysanthemums remark- ably well, he remarked that he had quite given up Desgranges as useless; depend- ing upon Lady Fitzwygram for his first crop, but this comes in a little later. There is clearly an advantage in being first, for those referred to above sold readily at 75 cents a dozen blooms, and T found the other morning that since other growers have followed, good blooms are down to 50 cents a dozen. Lady Fitzwygram is undoubtedly the finest white variety ns a pot plant for early work. This has been making from $5 to $7.50 per dozen, the plants being rem.irk.Tbly well finished and with good Part of Farquhar & Co.'s Exhibit at Boston, September 14 to 17. ■^yTP"*" " '*'WS»^j'jj!?.j^?.iy.«'sp7"*y;?!ry"^f '^■'^^T »~r("^»TVT^'"» tt-»-^-^;rj^^- < • Skfteubsb 21, 1005.

Ceaio. ener. GLOXINIAS. The following note on gloxinias is from John T. Allen, gardener to John B Drexel, Newport, E. I.: My phenomenal success with gloxinias this year has induced me to give my ex- perience and suggestions to those inter- ested m the growing of one of our most beautiful flowering bulbs. Having tried many different ways in the past twelve years, and noting carefully the results each year, I am convinced that I have reached the climax of my experiments. I make a compost of well-rotted sod and leaf-mold, about half and half fill the pots and place the bulbs in loosely. Water very sparingly until well rooted and be very careful to have the water at the same temperature as the house as gloxinias are very susceptible to changes of temperature. Never use a syringe or allow the foliage to get wet and you will not be troubled with rust. In the past years I have been in the habit of feeding with a variety of hijrh grade ferti izers, but this year I have only fed with Bonora once a week, using no other food. It is easily applied and clean and has given me better re suits than any previous year. Feed only after the bulbs are well rooted and until the buds commence to show color. After flowering dry them off graduaHV unMl the bulbs get thoroughly ripe- then re move them from the f oif anS^emove aSl fibrous roots. Place in flats of d^ sand and keep in a place where the te^ perature never goes below 45 degrSs and not above 65 degrees "Agrees This year I have averaged from fiftv to seventy-five blooms in linch po"s anj .^''''swrrw*- 982 The Weekly Florists* Review.

B.," page 930 of a recent issue of the Kevikw, I would state that years ago the tax assessor taxed my growing crop as an additional value ■ of real estate. I objected and went before the county commissioners. The judge of probate took the same view I did, that all plants, shrubs and trees belong to my growing crop, the same as corn and cotton of a farmer. It does not make any difference if the crop will mature in five months or five years; the principle is the same. I did not have an attorney; I simply repre- sented myself. The result was that my growing crop was not taxeu. The state law does not permit this. Alabama. F. J. Ulbeicht. FEEDING ROSES. This is my second year with roses and I have a small house half filled with young plants and half with carried- over ones, both of which are in good condition. What I want to know is as to the feeding of them for the entire season, considering them always to be in a normal condition. When shall I mulch, give bone, wood ashes, liquid manure. Clay's fertilizer, nitrate of soda, and how much per hundred square feet of bench? I am thinking more of the best results than of any necessary trouble or expense. F. D. B. In regard to feeding of roses, this is a matter which is very much abused and there is far more harm done by overfeeding than by no feeding at all. Young rose stock, if the soil were in any way suitable and composted in the manner so frequently advocated in these columns, should require no feeding for some time to come. Carried-over stock can be given a light feeding when the young fiower stems are from four to eight inches in length, but this should be discontinued before the crop is ready to cut and repeated when the next crop is in the same stage. Feeding during dark weather is not advisable. Referring to the quality of food, this much depends on the relative quality of the soil used. Heavy clay soils re- quire quite different feeding matter from light, friable or sandy soil. Mulching should be applied when surface cultivation can no longer be practiced without injuring the roots, but this mulch should be light, so as not to exclude the sun's rays from the surface of the soil. As barnyard ma- nure contains most of the elements nec- essary and in nearly the proper propor- tions, it is, if partly decomposed, the safest for this purpose, as it contains few of those caustic properties so preva- lent in chemical preparations. If mixed with one-third of its bulk of good loam it retains its nutritive properties for a longer period and does not wash so easily on the bench. Bone can be added to this compost with benefit in the proportion of a 5-ineh potful to each bushel of compost. Bone and lime or bone and wood ashes should never be used in combination, as this releases more ammonia than the rose has use for and is apt to make the- plants drop their leaves. Wood ashes, being a very concen- trated form of food, require to be used with great caution and unless satisfac- tory evidence that such food is neces- sary is apparent, it is safe to do with- out it, as it is safe only in the hands^ of an expert. Clay's fertilizer, nitrate of soda and many other chemical preparations,, though they all possess their merits, be- long to the same category and should only be used when absolutely needed, and it requires an expert to find this out, and the proper stage at which to apply them. In the hands of the less; experienced they are a source of danger. Liquid feeding for young stock can be made from fresh cow manure put into a tank with sufficient water to start fermentation; then drained off and reduced with water until it looks like beer in color. One application per week during bright weather, vvhile the crops are forming, will be sufficient. An addition of one gallon of ammonia to each sixty gallons of water will benefit the roses and foliage, but for a first ap- plication, if the plants are not very strong, a less quantity would suffice. It is always safe to be conservative- in applying liquid food during the short days, when root action is slow, and safer still to depend more on the natural product from the barn than to- resort to concentrated forms of food. When these are used it pays to use them in small quantities first and note- the effect. If the results are satisfac- tory the strength can be increased as the plants get stronger and the day» get longer. Ribes. CARNATION NOTES.— VEST. Seasonable Culture. By this time your carnation plants are pretty well established and you have got rid of all the weeds. Syringing can be dispensed with, except what is needed to keep down red spider. If you stirred the soil each time you weeded, it will be in nice growing condition. If you have some old stable manure it will do them gocd to spread over the soil about a half inch of it. This is not for the food there might be in it, but it will prevent the soil from drying out in spots during these bright autumn days. Better put this on before you put the supports in place, whatever kind they may be. If you did not mix any bone into the soil before planting, and many growers prefer to wait until the plants are estab- lished, this is a good time to do it. Stir it. into the soil before putting on the mulch, or mix it into the mulch, if you prefer. Before putting on the supports look over the beds and replant any that have died out. If you have no more of the same variety, don't plant in another kind if you expect to propagate fronn that batch; that is how mixtures are caused. You won't miss anything by having a few empty spaces. The four plants around each space will soon fill it up and do all the better. St^ports. Begarding supports, opinions are a» varied as the various supports. All agree, however, that a rigid wire sup- port will not do, as one variety may need a space twice as large as another, and so' now most of the wire supprorts are made adjustable, both in regard to size of the ring and the distance of the ring from the ground. These wire supports are very handy for those who grow a general line of plants and may need any part of a bench early in the spring. All you need to do is to remove supports and plants as far as you want to and the bench is clear. In thi» way they soon pay for themselves. With the large cut flower growers who- plant whole houses of one variety the wire and string method is still most pop- ular. It is pat on quickly, is very sub- stantial if put on properly, and is quite inexpensive. The wires last indefinitely, while the string is cheap. These should be put in place as soon as practical, as Sbptkmber 21, 1005.

"We have read very carefully the ar- ticle "Stem-Kot Again" in the BKVlEVsr for September 7. We wish to oflfer a '* testimonial " of our troubles. On July 11 we planted a bench with about 700 Boston Market from the field. Quite a number of the plants of this variety died in the field before benching time. About ten days after benching the plants began to die, until now we have lost over 300 of the 700 and some of those which we used to replace the dead ones have also died. The plants appear to be healthy until we notice some of them seem to be dried up. The stem is shriveled and hollow in the center. We mixed the soil with ma- nure, bone meal and slaked lime. . Have also applied, lime to the soil since benching. While our other varieties are not free from the same trouble, yet they are not nearly so bad. S. C. Since quite a number of plants died from stem-rot in the field, it is quite evi- dent that you brought it into the house that way and all the soil-sterilizing you could have done would have availed nothing. That is one reason why soil sterilization can never be a complete guarantee against this disease. The ster- ilizing may kill what spores are in the soil, but it does not prevent the intro- duction of them at any future period. When plants in the field show signs of stem-rot it is almost impossible to plant them directly on the benches without los- ing many of them. The moist atmos- pliere and, during those days, invariably hft temperature just suit this disease and you may be sure tjHat if it was ac- tive in the field, where there was plenty of fresh air and sunlight, it will natur- ally go on a rampage in the house. Usu- ally when a batch of plants shows stem- rot to any great extent in the field we do not house many of the plants. How- ever, if it is a promising seedling or other new variety it pays to go to a lit- tle extra trouble to save them. You will find that when you pot the plants into comparatively small pots they will take hold quickly and they will need shading only a few days. Perhaps you have noticed this when you potted some plants to set in where some died out. So if you will pot the plants and then, as soon as they are well rooted, plant them on the benches, there need not be that Jong, dark, warm and moist period dur- ing which the stem-rot usually starts into activity. Another good idea in case stem-rot starts after planting is to remove enough sou from between the plants to make a turrow deep enough to hold enough water to saturate the soil when filled. 1 his allows you to water the soil without wetting the stems of the plants and if no syringing is done there need be very mtle moisture in the atmosphere. We have found this very effective. Lime sprinkled over the soil will also help, as gr"dwtlf * ^""^^^ ^"^""^ ^"^ ''^ fungous As you do not say when the manure, bone meal and lime were mixed into the nrnnii'^"""* ^^^ ^^^t»»«' it was doue Kn ^^ ^^ °u°*- ^ ^« °ot think that System ro";r'' '^- ^°y*^^°^' *« d« ^th in the field before you lifted the plants.

Ammann, president; Fred H. Melnhardt, treasurer. The best thing you can do with this bed of Boston Market is to pull up the remainder of the plants and burn them. Take out the soil, wash the bench and paint it with a heavy coat of hot lime wash. Dump the soil where it will not again come in contact with your carna- tions. To check it among your other varieties do all you can to keep the houses from the ground to the ventilators as fresh and sweet as possible. Plenty of air, no shade on the glass, a little fire heat on cool, damp nights to keep the air stirring, a little sulphur and lime on the steam pipes, will all help. Stop syringing unless you see signs of red spider. I hope your plants are not planted too closely. If the air can circu- late between them it will be a great ^°efit. A. F. J. Baur. FAIRY RING. I have the disease known as fairy ring on a few plants of Lady Bountiful and The Queen. From July until Au- gust 28 I did my syringing before 6:30 a. m. in order to get pressure. I never water unless the plants need it. I have been using formaldehyde and Bordeaux mixture. Do you think they should be run dry or ought I to keep them moist? ■I have used lime and sulphur the last few days but I do not know how that will work. The last few weeks I have ^y""ged once a week to keep spider in ciiecK, "p -p The disease called fairy ring is pretty much the same as the common leaf ^ot in that it is a fungous disease, and it should be handled the same way. The same remedies will do for both of them. The first thing I want to say to you is don 't lose your head. Unless your plants are very badly affected there is no reason why you should not get them back into normal condition in a short time. The remedies you are using are all right if you use them properly. Very often, when plants are affected with disease, the grower gets excited and doses the plants with one thing after another and either floods the soil or allows it to become as dry as powder. The first thing he knows his plants are ruined, more through his treatment than from the dis- ease. Always bear in mind that what- ever you apply to the plants, you can not efface the marks of the disease except by picking off the spotted leaves, and be- fore the plants will be clean and look clean they will have to make a new growth, which takes time. The first thing to do to stop a disease of this kind IS to remove all the spotted leaves and burn them. That stops its propagation from the spores which are produced in each spot. Don't stop with this one picking, but go over them every (lay or two and remove any fresh ones that break out. The best thing we have found to spray with is formaline, which you say you are using. We use it one to 500 of water, though perhaps it can be used a httle stronger. If the days are bright you can spray with this every morning but I would not advise you to apply ,t on cloudy days. If there are several. cloudy days in a stretch you fv',: '^Jr -y^-^vr ^^ ' '^y'!'' ■ "^ '■* ■•T7*ii*T>v'' t!^' 984 The Weekly Florists' Review. Septkmbeb 21, 1905. might take your bellows and blow the house full of lime and sulphur mixed. Grape-dust is also excellent to use this way. Don 't dust it heavily on the plants but blow it up over them. What you want is to dry the atmosphere. When you begin firing mix the lime and sulphur, and paint a steam pipe with it, not too heavily but just enough so you can notice a difference in the smell of the atmosphere. In fact if the dis- ease seems at all stubborn I would not put off the firing until it just has to be done but would use that means to keep the house dry as well as warm at night and keep the ventilators up a few inches. Like all fungous diseases this one must have moisture to be active and you can do as much by keeping the at- mosphere dry and sweet as you can any other way. Don't carry the roots extremely dry, but give enough water to keep the plants growing vigorously. If you keep the walks and under the benches dry not enough dampness will rise from the soil to hurt. I would dispense with the syr- inging altogether for a time, unless you see some red spider, and then be sure the day will be bright, so the plants will dry off well before evening. These fungous diseases are frequently started during the first few weeks after the plants are housed on account of the weakened condition of the plants and the excessive moisture carried in the house to prevent wilting. This excessive mois- ture and the high temperature which usually prevails during that time just suit these diseases, and that is one reason why it is wise to remove the shade on the glass, stop syringing and let the sunshine and fresh, sweet air sweeten up the house and check whatever dis- ease may have started, just as soon as the plants will stand it. A. r. J. Baur. strong grower and easy doer it is, and that you must only give it half a chance and it will show its worth. Outside of the two faults mentioned it is all one could ask for and the faults are not serious in this variety. I can imagine what a wry face our good friend Peter Fisher, the originator, must have made if his eye happened to fall upon that line. A. F. J. Baur. A BIG LITTLE WORD. Last week in my answer to "W. L. K." regarding Enchantress, a lagging pen made me say that this variety is a hard one to handle. I did not mean to say that. What a difference it will make when you insert the word "not," as I intended. The balance of the article will bear this out. Those who have grown this grand variety know what a VIOLETS IN FLORIDA. I would like to know the method of culti^ating single violets here in Florida. I suppose California's methods would be best here. The soil is sandy. H. S. P. I have had no personal experience in growing violets in Florida, but from what I have observed at different times I should try several different methods all the same season, giving each the same care and thereby arriving at the best method by experience for the par- ticular locality where I was attempting to grow them. Of course, one thing is an absolute necessity; that is, a good supply of water. Lacking this I do not think I should even attempt to grow them in your state. One is safe in a general way in observing natural condi- tions and I have found that through the center of the state the wild violets are very plentiful in all colors, yellow, blue and white; but while I thought at first that I would find them in the hummock land, I did not find them in the pine woods, on the slopes just above the hum- mocks, which shows that they like the richer ground found near the hummocks, but wanting more air and drainage than they would find in them and yet want- ing some shading. Taking these facts into consideration, and what I have been told by those grow- ing them in a limited way, I should tt} a bed in the open, under pines. Follov, nature as closely as possible, only helj her where you can by cultivation, water- ing, etc. And again, I should try a be( under a lath shed, or sheds somewha like those used for growing pineapples, but they would never want sides, as vio lots do not want to be kept close. L should find as cool a situation as possi- ble for all of these experiments. Again, I should try them in boxes and benches, where I could shade them, and while I\)ersonally do not have an idea that I could grow them in this way as well as the other ways, still I know of persons who say that it is the only way they can grow violets there, and they certainly succeed in that way, for I have seen them have the violets. I hope that the correspondent will be successful and that I may have made some suggestions that will help him, but violets are so capricious that my advice would be to give every method a trial • for a season before going at it in a very extensive manner. If he will give me an idea of his sur- roundings, etc., if he thinks of anything that looks especially favorable for their culture, I will be glad to make any other suggestions that may come to mind. I would also try all the different kinds in the different trial beds, as nearly always some one variety will take naturally to your locality and the others would only be partially satisfied with the soil, etc. I should be glad if the correspondent would keep us posted as to his success and failure this season.

The ground covered is the same as that trav- ersed by Miss Susan B. Sipe in her lec- ture before the S. A.

It is to be regretted that it was impos- sible for Prof. Galloway to put on paper the spirit of enthusiasm Miss Sipe put into her talk. * ' Cold type ' ' is an expression frequently met; the reader will appreciate one meaning of the phrase if he heard Miss Sipe at the con- vention. And this leads to the thought that not all school gardening movements are likely to succeed as has the one in Washington; a Miss Sipe is not to be found every day to lead the work. That earnest, thorough, accurate, enthusiastic young lady had established herself high in the fond regard of her audience be- fore she had talked to the S. A. F. five minutes and the more they saw and heard of her the better they liked her. The school-garden movement has won- derful possibilities however the subject is viewed. Loj)king at it from a civic standpoint it is deserving of all encour- agement, while from a purely trade point of view it holds out possibilities of which the craft should not be slow to avail itself. Trade organizations should assist the school garden work at every opportunity; indeed, should seek ways in which it may be furthered. To start the movement in cities where its merits have not yet been appreciated, or to give it fresh impetus where needed, valuable as is Prof. Galloway's pamphlet, better yet would be the repetition of Miss Sipe's lecture. Every florists' club in a city of good size could well afford to defray the necessary expense to get Miss Sipe to lecture to the school teachers and public of its community.

CLUB WELFARE. [In assuming for the second time the presi- dency of the St. Louis Florists' Club, J. F. Ammann said In part.] A president of any organization, while more or less an important factor, cannot possibly have a successful administration without the co-operation of the members and especially those most active in the society. I therefore ask each and every member to co-operate with me in making this the banner year of our society; not only that, but to make it continue to "be to our best interest, both financially and socially. I deem it of importance to call your attention at this time to a few of the most vital questions now before this club. First of all, of course, is the wel- fare of our club in general. We all realize that when our club is prospering we become of more importance. Har- mony is one of the principal objects which we should always have in view. I do not mean that we should always agree on all questions that may arise, for it is expressed differences of opinion which make discussions interesting. But in mat- ters of interest to the club, such as a flower show, or any other important un- dertaking where the club's reputation is involved, there should be harmony and we should stand shoulder to shoulder to make it a success, regardless of any per- sonal view we may take. We should not let that stand in the way of helping and working for the interest of the cause. I am very proud to say I believe that in our entire profession we are gradually drifting away from the old selfish view of things. And I dare say we can give no more credit for this pleasant state of affairs to any one thing than to our florists' clubs and societies all over this great country. Therefore let us bear in mind and always be ready and willing to lend a helping hand to the cause that made us what we are today. Success in business I believe is of vital interest to us all. This can be obtained in no better way than by a discussion of our interests at our club meetings. In fact, our regular club meetings should all be strictly business meetings. I be- lieve the trustees of our club should se- lect subjects for discussion at every regu- lar meeting. The subject should be an- nounced at the meeting before it is to be taken up and these should refer strictly to our business, such as insects and diseases of plants, building and heat- ing, prices and grades of cut flowers, both wholesale and retail, etc. In fact, anything pertaining to our different lines of business. The trustees should name some one to lead each discussion, but the president should bo empowered to ap- point any one present in case the regular appointee is absent. I believe these dis- cussions would be more interesting and beneficial than essays, for any of us can take part in the discussion, but we are ilot all essayists. Next comes the social part of our club. This is by no means a small part of our work. On ti^e contrary, it is really an important part. We should have at least two or more special gatherings, the popu- larity of which can readily be judged from the large attendance usuSly brought out on such occasions. Our out- door summer meetings have proven quite a success and should be continued when- ever opportunity presents itself. The question box should be on the secretary's desk at every meeting and any one wishing to ask a question should write same on a slip of paper and place it in the box any time during the meet- ing. Any one having stock for sale, or wishing to purchase, should be allowed the use of the question box. If one can- not attend the meeting let him mail his wants to the secretary, whose duty it should be to place the question in the box at the next meeting. I believe this a much better plan than the old way of passing around slips during meetings, and it also saves time. Advertising is very essential in any business; hence I recommend the press committee as being quite important, but I would advise it not to put in print what could not be verified ; at least I find this the better policy.

The Market The revival of trade has not yet reached this city, although the floristf, as well as those in all other lines of business are preparing for great activity in fall trade. The past week trade was somewhat better but not enough to call us busy. The quality of the flowers coming to this market averages rather inferior. Some of the rose stock is badly mildewed and asters are making their last run. Oarnations are very poor, be they from the field or indoor grown. Early cosmos has begun to arrive but only in small lots. Chrysanthemums are also showing up in small lots of white, the first bringing $2.50 per dozen. Val- < ley is having a better call, as quite a few fall weddings are reported to take place this week. Outdoor stock has the ap- pearance of autumn, and gladioli, hy- drangeas and Clematis paniculata will soon be things of the past for this season. Carnation growers say that about two-thirds of the carnations are already housed and that the plants are uniform- ly fine and great crops are expected from them this winter. Qub Meeting. The club meeting September 14, held at H. J. Weber & Sons' nursery, was at- tended by forty-five members, many ac- compaui^:d by their ladies. The Messrs. Weber were in waiting with conveyances to be taken to the place of meeting. On arriving at their beautiful home we were taken in hand by the old gentleman, H. J. Weber, assisted by his sons, Frank A., W. T., W. A. and G. A. Weber, and shown through their large place, where thousands of fruit and ornamental trees, evergreens, shrubs and hardy roses can be seen. The greenhouse men were greatly interested in the two new houses just built, each being 20x148, for roses. The houses were built by Thompson and are fitted out with a large Florence boiler. The ladies in the meantime were well taken care of by Mrs. Weber and the Misses Weber. Among the ladies pres- ent were Mesdames Juengel, Schray, Meinhardt, Beyer, Miller, Weber, San- ders, Pilcher, Beneke, Koenig, Berning, Fillmore, Ude, Jr., Klockenkemper, Stei- del. Windier, Jablonsky, Fehr, Guy, Emunds, Angermueller, Misses Maggie and Linnie Meinhardt, Watson, Brunig and Klockenkemper. The meeting opened at 3 p. m. in the big packing shed, "which was especially decorated for the occasion. F. C. Weber stated that good progress is being made and that the success of the fall show is assured. He wantetl it understood that no one man is running this show, but the committee together is in charge. The building committee was discharged. The secretary then read a letter from J. F. Windt in regard to "crape pulling." After a big discussion the chair ap- pointed a committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Windt, Beyer and Fillmore, to draw up resolutions for the daily pa- pers to see if we cannot get rid of this element which is now overrunning the city. The next in order was the installation. The chair appointed J. J. Beneke as in- stallation officer, who called the newly elected officers before him and read to each officer his duty. President Ammann read his address and assumed the duties of his office. All the retiring officers were tendered a vote of thanks for their work of the past year. H. J. Weber was made an honorary member of the club. Eefreshments were then served. Everyone voted it to be one of the best meetings we ever had. Variouf Notes. Mr. Burrows, of Pilcher & Burrows, florists' brokers, has returned after a ten days' business trip. The firm's busi- ness is increasing each week. George M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, Mo., spent a few days in the city on business. Theo. Miller and Fred C. Weber have invited the members of the club on Sep- tember 27 from 2 to 5 p. m., for an entertainment at Mr. Miller's place, 4832 Delraar avenue. This is in return to the boys for the entertainment given Messrs. Miller and Weber before leaving and upon returning from Europe. A good time is expected.

A spurt of funeral work the past week, combined with renewed activity in out- side shipping, has kept the grower busy and in a measure broke the summer quietness. From now on business is ex- pected to be brisk. Carnations are scarce and short- stemmed, but cool nights will soon length- en them. Roses are mostly poor, al- though there are a few that can lay claim to being good. Liilies have been seen at the stores all summer and have met with a ready sale, some cold-storage gigan- teums, also rubrum and speeiosum. As- ters are a glut. Violet stock looks fine, and promises a very productive crop. Various Notes. Blanksma Bros, are building a new house for cucumbers and lettuce. Crabb & Hunter have installed a large Morehead trap at their Lake greenhouses, and are finishing an office 20x38. It will be lighted with both gas and electricity. Henry Smith is kept busy these days, looking after his 150 acres of fruit, to say nothing of the greenhouse business. •Freyling & Mendals have given up their down-town store, believing they can sell all their flowers at their greenhouses, and rumor has it that Chas. Chadwick will in the near future follow suit. Mr. Chadwick is doing without a foreman now. His stock is looking fine. Wm. Cunningham reports trade begin- ning to pick up. A club meeting will be called in the near future. A movement is on foot to have the meetings held at the residences of the members, as in times past such meetings were always well attended and productive of the best results. The West Michigan State Fair opened September 19. Bruins Slot & Sons, the Grand Rapids Floral Co., Crabb & Hunt- er and Henry Smith are the floral exhibi- tors.

The Market Business shows another slight improve- ment this week but stock has retrograded in quality because of unseasonably warm ■weather lasting through several days. Eoses were improving rapidly and a •considerable proportion are still of very fair quality, but of course the natural tendency of 86 degrees of heat at this season is to soften the stock perceptibly. The Beauty crop continues nicely ad- justed to the needs of the market. Carna- tions are in large supply but are now practically all from plants under glass. "Stems are short but with most of the growers both stems and flowers are all that one could expect from the first crop. Carnations are doing better this week because the asters were put to the bad by the heavy thunder showers of the past few days. Very few good asters have •come into the market this week and all such have had a ready sale. As a large part of the.' demand is still for funeral flowers, white asters and white carna- tions have been most sought by the buy- ers. Dahlias are coming in more heavily but are not wanted in quantity. Most of the retailers use them for window dis- play and occasionally for dinner decora- tions, but there are few such orders as yet and the dahlia is not a flower which this market can use in more than a limited way. There continue to be large supplies of valley, but it has a better market than a week ago. Easter lilies are in limited supply and sell well. Violets are now a daily item of stock and have sold well. The quality is nothing extra but they are coming unusually early this year, both locally and from the Pough- keepsie district. Chrysanthemums are not yet in daily supply. The call for "green goods" is assum- ing a little more strength. The fall decorations, especially for store openings, will call for a great deal of this stock. There is plenty of it. On. Tuesday evening the weather turned cool with the usual result of checking production. Now that the good asters are pretty well out of the way, nearly everyone would welcome a frost. Qub Meeting. The first club meeting of the season brought out an attendance of about a dozen. Vice-president J. P. Risch pre- sided. Accumulated routine matters were disposed of and the S. A. F. convention was discussed. There was lively debate as to how the club might get up a head of steam sufficient to carry it clear through the season. It was the appa- rently unanimous opinion that the first step should be changing the by-laws so as to have only one meeting a month. This cannot be done for another month. A vase of the new red rose, Etoile de France, was brought from Western Springs by J. S. Wilson. It was given a certificate of merit, the judges espe- cially commending its color, petalage and fragrance. E. G. Hill, of Richmond, was expected but was unable to be here. He wrote that he hoped to meet with the club in about a month. Nomination of officers takes place September 28. Leonard Kill is chairman of a committee charged with getting up a slate of workers. Various Notes. There was a brief meeting of the executive committee of the Horticultural Society September 18. It is hoped to have the best show of recent years, pos- sibly at Brooke's Casino November 7 to 11. It has been suggested that the show be kept open Sunday as an experiment. This is the practice in Boston. Another committee meeting will be held at F. P. Benthey's office next Monday. President E. G. Uihlein is in Europe. Friedman is rearranging and redeco- rating his Van Buren street store. The south side branch has been closed some months but the conservatory there is still in use. Miss Nellie C. Moore has returned from a very enjoyable trip on the Mississippi. Leonard Kill has had Otto Schwill, Jr., of Memphis, as his guest for a couple of weeks and with him has visited many growers north of town. Mr. Kill says he never saw better average stock than is to be seen this season and expects to see plenty of good stock in the market very soon. Mr. Schwill, who was ac- companied by his wife, returned home September 16. The F. E. Butler Floral Co., on Dear- bom street, has rearranged its store, put- ting in a new and larger ice-box. A win- dow of Tritoma Pfitzeri attracted much attention last week. Lubliner & Trinz were forced to va- cate their State street store September 1. They had done business there all sum- mer. Mrs. H. Hilmers has been in Berlin, Germany, fgr some time with her 7-year. f^S'iimw^mfj'^fi^'TWJ!'!''!'^^ HJUHJVWIIFTT :y<-z%. 9&S The Weekly Florists^ Review* Sefxember 21, 1905.

Mrs. Hilmers is expected home in. a few months. Mr. Hilmers now con- centrates his business enterprises as the Kenwood Floral Co., on Forty-seventh street. F. F. Benthey plans to spend a day at the Newcastle plant of his firm the lat- ter part of this week. The creditors of M. Winandy have a plan for purchasing the equity in his plant, taking it out of the hands of the trustees and financing the necessary alterations to put it in first-class shape. Geo. F. Crabb was over from Grand Bapids again on Saturday, buying more carnation plants. He had to buy 30,000 in all to make up for what he lost by floods. Albert Fuchs is putting up another large apartment building on the north side. The A. L. Bandall Co. has been re- ceiving Hudson river violets daily since September 13. On Saturday they had over 5,000 which sold at from $1 per hundred down. The E. F. Winterson Co. is receiving some very fine Perle roses. Eupatorium is a specialty with them. * ' All the comforts of a home ' ' are now to be found at Percy Jones' headquar- ters in the Growers' Market, including a Turkish rug on the floor, a leather couch, etc. Mr. Jones spends eleven hours a day on duty and likes to have pleasant sur- roundings.

He is president of the Pictorial Printing Co. which he moved to Aurora just after a series of labor troubles in Chicago — and now the plant is tied up by a printers' strike for an eight-hour day. A balcony for office purposes is being built along the east end of E. H. Hunt's store. It will largely increase the facili- ties for the office force and the cut flower department. Hunt's is already doing quite a business in wild smiiax, which they will have constantly on hand from now to the end of the season. The fourth shipment arrived this week. Some of the aster growers are putting sash over their plants to prolong the season. J. A. Budlong cut his first blooms of Fiancee September 18, fine flowers but very light in color. P. J.

A little son has arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Meyer, at Morton Grove. Among the week's visitors were Mrs. Wm. Dittman, New Castle, Ind., and Mrs. A. H. McDonald, Logansport, Ind. NEW YOEK. The Market Mondays are keeping up their repu- tation for storms. The third in succes- sion swept over the east the beginning of the present week. This week will see the end of the September gales and the good ship ought to have smooth sailing from now on until November. Everybody in the wholesale and retail cut flower line seems to have set the opening day ahead to October 15. Nevertheless, violets, those harbingers of society's advent, are already in the market, thousands of them, colorless, un- scented, abnormally early and unsalable because of large shipments. The next thing will be the commonplace distribu- tion by the street merchants and their prestige will be gone for the year. "With the enormous additions made this sum- mer to the violet factories, overproduc- tion seems inevitable. The market gives promise of a flood. One expert prophe-. sies that within a few weeks the flow- ers will be sold at $1 a thousand, in which case the funeral of the goose that laid the golden egg will be celebrated and another chapter in human ambi- tion closed. "Too much of a good thing" is bad and there will undoubt- edly be too many violets. Oncidiums, dendrobiums in several varieties and Cattleya labiata are arriv- ing freely and the retail windows on Broadway and Fifth avenue are using them to advantage and beginning again to look attractive after months of com- parative neglect. Carnations are improving rapidly. Some excellent stock is now in the mar- ket and prices are encouraging. Asters and gladioli show no diminution in quantity, but the rains have played havoc with their quality and only the perfect stock brings a profitable price. The best Beauties are advancing. Boses of all kinds are rapidly improving in merit and slight advances are noted in prices for the selected stock. Dahlias are abundant. Grand stock from Peacock, of Atco, N. J., comes daily to W. H. Gunther, who controls the output from this section and reships to all prominent cities in New England. Varioos Notes. The state of Pennsylvania has just placed an order for a greenhouse 33x116 with the Bumham Hitchings Pierson Co., to be placed in the grounds of the Hospital for the Insane at Warren, Pa. This firm is also building a fine house at South Braintree, Mass., for E. H9llings- worth and several at Syracuse for F. E. Hazard and at Pittsburg for E. B. Lord. They have also designed and vrill build a spacious conservatory in the rear of Fleishman's new Fifth avenue store at the corner of Forty-third street. Cbas. Dietz, of West Hoboken; H. J. Stem, of Highwood, N. J.; Peter Koemer, of Woodlawn, and H. G. Eyres, of Ogden, N. Y., are also building and everywhere increased activity in greenhouse con- struction is evident. John A. ScoUay, Brooklyn, is install- ing four 200 horse-power Invincible steam boilers for the city of New York. This firm reports a very rapidly increas- ing business, far in excess this season of any in its history. J. W. Crowell, of Hartford, is building a greenhouse this fall, up-to-date in all respects, and among others reported are E. D. Jaques, of Lynbrook, L. I.; John T. Pirie, of Sea ClifiF, N. Y.; L. C. C^rlsen, of Long Branch, N. J.; Myers & Son, of Scott- dale, Pa., and L. C. Harris, of Perry- opolis. Pa. All of the above are using the ScoUay boiler.

Suplee has been appointed manager of L. Mutino's new store at 1274 Broadway. John Seligman, the wholesaler, and Jos. J. Levy, lieutenant of A. J. Gutt- man, have been enjoying a few days at Niagara Falls. Harry Bunyard, with A. T.* Bodding- ton, has returned from his "outing" at the Alexian Bros. Hospital, of Eliza- beth, N. J., quite recovered from a struggle with his old enemy, rheuma- tism, and ready for the strenuous trav- eling which this enterprising house has made necessary if its many customers are to be seen even once a year. The warerooms at 342 West Fourteenth street were crowded to the doors with shipments when I called last week and the deserved success which Mr. Bodding- ton has developed far exceeds expecta- tions. C. H. Totty, of Madison, N. J., is sending fine stock of the Richmond rose to market through Jos. H. Fenrich. Now that New York has several whole- sale plant stores, the conveniences for the retailer are wonderfully and promptly helpful and much appreciated. A. J. Guttman is much pleased with his change of location to Twenty-eighth street apd his added conveniences and elegant oflSces. He reports a big de- mand for Victory. Twenty-eighth street will soon be a "double decker" at its present rate of progress, a quartette of wholesale florists being already installed on the parlor floors. A few years should see the whole street from Sixth avenue to Broadway entirely devoted to floricul- ture. Concentration would mean proa- penty for all. W. F. Sherid^ has returned from his annual visit to his growers up the Hud- son, with glowing reports as to the out- look. Brooklyn is reaching out for talent across the bridge and the big depart- ment store of Abraham & Straus has coralled C. H. Grant, formerly with Small & Sons and later in his own store at Forty-third street and Seventh ave- nue. An up-to-date flower department will be managed by Mr. Grant. Novelties in carnations are again on deck at John Young's from the Cottage Gardens. J. K. Allen has been touring among his many growers and laying founda- tions for a big season. Wm. Ford, of Ford Bros., has also been away for his annual pastoral calls and, in fact, every wholesaler is takug advantage of the lull to shake haMs with the men who "toil and spin" in the greenhouses and on whose ability and faithful attention to business rests the whole structure of New York flo- riculture. A. J. Fellouris has a big stock of ferns and galax stowed away in prepa- ration for the winter season. He has added to his force lately and is doing a large shipping business. Charles Millang's conservatory is filled to the doors with a splendid col- lection of plants of all kinds suitable for the retail florist and his facilities for prompt delivery and the excellence of his stock from the best growers make him a necessity in the wholesale plant trade of the big city. In this depart- ment he has built up a wonderful busi- ness in the last few years. This week Wednesday and Thursday comes the American Institute's dahlia show and autumn exhibition and next week the gardeners' societies in every direction will get busy. This one at the American Institute will be "hoary yrith age" for it is the seventy-fourth an- nual. Only a few of us can remember when they began. The auction season is in fuU swing and Wm. Elliott & Sons report good stock, good crowds and good business at their new place at 201 Fulton street. They have another big sale announced for next Tuesday, September 26, and the catalogue shows a fine lot of decorative plants, also field-grown carnations, ferns and bulbs. Bowe and many of the other promi- nent retailers think business is earlier and more encouraging than it was a year ago. They are very optimistic as to the season's prospects. Flatbush bowling is a thing that can be wagered on safely every Thursday evening. I have never known it to fail in fifteen years, and for fifteen years be- fore that they tell me the good work has been recorded. Last Thursday the Dailledouze boys, Riley, Louis Schmutz, John Scott and Clem Wocker disported themselves, making their usual good rec- ords of 150 and over, with the veteran Schmutz absorbing most of the "pots" and showing few evidences of his 60 years.

There is little advance in prices, but good stock sells readily and there is little surplus left over. American Beauties improve and some | very fine flowers are now seen. There is also a distinct improvement in Brides and Maids, although many small flow- ers of these still come in and are cleared at low figures. Carnations are still scarce. An increasing number are com- ing in from the new indoor crop, but stems are rather short. One or two growers continue to bring in very good outdoor-grown ones, those from Wm. Nicholson being especially fine. Asters continue abundant, the varie- ties Vick's Branching, Semple's and Victoria being mostly seen. Gladioli are on the wane and will soon be over. Lily of the valley and liliums sell quite well. Dahlias, tuberoses, cosmos, scarlet salvia and other seasonable flowers are seen but there is no particular call for any of these. A few Fitzwygram chrysanthe- mums were seen this week and single violets. Gardeners' and Florists' Club. The first meeting after the summer vacation, on September 19, brought out a splendid attendance, many new faces being seen. The sports committee pre- sented a report in regard to the prizes offered at the recent picnic, which showed that they performed their du- ties most efficiently. The committee on the form of awards to be used by the club showed samples of the new certifi- cates, which all seemed to be pleased with. These differ from those usually awarded, being more in the nature of re- ports on what the committee consider the particular merits of the exhibits staged. "Those who may have felt in the least pessimistic in regard to the future suc- cess of the club must have felt cheered as the lengthy list of applications was read, the largest addition the club has had at one time in its history. The new members included florists, private gar- denprs, nurserymen and prominent Boston flower store proprietors. Already prom- ises are forthcoming of a further addi- tion in October, when it is expected J. A. Pettigrew will give the club an ac- count of his European tour. A number of members gave interest- ing vacation experiences. There was good music, and last, but not least, re- freshments, and all present voted the meeting a grand one in every respect. President "Wheeler and other officers went home delighted with the opening meeting for the fall, determined to pre- sent such attractions at succeeding meet- ings as would continue to draw large audiences and make the club the best of its kind in America. In our next we will note a few features we have not time to refer to now. Variottt Notes. The big September show reported elsewhere in this issue, brought in a large number of visitors from a dis- tance. On September 17 a delegation from New Bedford attended. A few from a distance noted were G. F. Struck, representing Lager & Hurrell; Thomas Knight, of Julius Eodirs Co. ; J. S. Hay, of the H. A. Dreer Co.; E. C. Green, Warwick, R. I.; Thomas W. Head, Gro- ton, Conn. We experienced the first cool snap of the aeason on the evenings of September 13 and 14. In low localities slight frost damages to flowers and vegetables were reported. At the Worcester East Fair held in Clinton, September 13 to 15, there is always a splendid floral display. The exhibition last week was no exception to the rule. E. W. Breed, of Clinton, secured first for fioral design, for group of plants arranged for effect and for herbaceous perennial flowers, the latter including a fine dark form of Helenium autumnale. F. A. Blake, of Eochdale, was first for an extra fine vase of flow- ers, also for gladioli. W. L. Wheeler, Ber- lin, showed an excellent seedling gladi- olus, yellow striped with rose. Bayard Thayer, Wm. Anderson, gardener, had a beautiful tank of aquatics. E. V. R. Thayer, E. O. Orpet, gardener, and N. Thayer, J. T. Clark, gardener, each had splendid groups of foliage and flower- ing plants. The two vegetable collec- tions of N. Thayer and J. E. Thayer, each filling a space of 4x35, would be hard to duplicate at any show. A. P. Meridith's collection won. A. A. Hixon, of Worcester, judged the plants and flow- ers at the fair. On and after October 1, Welch Bros, will have a stall in the new Music hall market, where they will offer for sale all kinds of florists' supplies, corrugated cut flower boxes, hardy ferns, galax leaves and other necessaries. This should prove a great convenieiite to many of the sellers and buyers in this market. Mr. and Mrs. William Nicholson have been enjoying a vacation in New Hamp- shire the past fortnight. The floral tributes at the funeral of the Hon. Patrick A. Collins, mayor of Bos- ton, on September 18, were the most numerous and costly ever seen here on a similar occasion. T. F. Galvin furnished a large number of choice designs. The most noteworthy was one from the city of Boston repre- senting the city seal and was eight feet square. It was made on a placque cov- ered with some thousands of white as- ters. The seal was made of purple asters to represent Boston harbor, the ships being made of lily of the valley. The city itself was made of white violets and the state house's gold dome of yellow oncidiums. There were large clusters of American Beauties on the sides and white roses with bunches of orchids, gladioli and lily of the valley. The base was composed of cycas leaves, As- paragus plumosus and adiantum. Wil- liam E. . Doyle furnished a number of very handsome designs. One in the form of an Irish cross of roses, lily of the valley and adiantum for W. H. R. Redmond, M. P., was unique. Other lead- ing florists in Boston and throughout New England furnished many other de- signs and a large number came from other states. There was a very lavish display of floral gifts on the occasion of the open- ing of the Henry Siegel Co. 's new store on September 11, numerous magnificent horseshoes, baskets and other floral re- membrances coming from Boston, New York and Chicago. American Beauty roses were to be seen in thousands. A horseshoe of these ten feet high from the R. H. White Co. was especially fine. 1 i.v< ''■r,'. Skptkmueb 21, 1905. The Weekly Florists' Review* 99J TheSecrelbf .'

F. McCarthy & Co. have made a successful protest against an assessment of duty on an importation of ^sun- bleached wheat. The local collector ■classed the wheat as dutiable but Mr. McCarthy contended that it was free under the paragraph of the law relating to crude textile grasses or fibrous vege- table substances. The evidence showed that the only process through which the wheat had passed was that known as sun- bleaching. W. N. Craig. AN EVANS INVENTION. When John Evans announces some- thing new in the way of improved ven- tilating apparatus the trade is apt to ac- cept his judgment and adopt his device without serious consideration, for it has besn proved by experience that when Mr. Evans says a thing is thus and so, it does what he says it will, and does it promptly and without coercion. At the recent Washington convention of the S. A. F., Mr. Evans' concern, the ^aker City Machine Co., of Eichmond, Ind., was given a certificate of merit on -what is called ths Twentieth Century ventilator arm, a device so beautifully simple that the only wonder is Mr. Evans did not think of it years before! The first grower who saw it wanted to trade, even, all his old arms for new ones! Scientifically the new arm reduces the leverage on the shafting from eight to twelve inches, as in the old style, to one and three-quarters inches, the distance from the center of the shafting pipe to the rivets which hold the arms. Prac- tically the result is to do away with the strain on the shafting which sometimes caused it to twist on long runs and not open the last ventilator to an even height with the first ona. With this arm the ventilators will rise to an even height on any length of greenhouse. There is a double action in the "X'» part of the new arm which increases the power of the arm without increasing the leverage on the shafting. For large ventilators, which require a long arm to give the proper opening, the only neces- sary change is the enlargement of the "X" part and the lengthening of the reach rod. Mr. Evans has applied for a patent on his invention. PHILADELPHIA. The Market The first gun of the fall campaign has beeil fired. The big department stores are having their openings this week, using great quantities of hydrangeas, gladioli, dahlias, golden rod, autumn foliage, etc., while most of the staple cut flowers are not used. The decora- tions prove that people are returning to the city, a sure sign of coming business. The volume of business is increasing slowly. The receipts are larger than one week ago, while the demand is absorbing the stock offered, nearly, if not quite, as well. Beauties are very fine, but not in such active demand. Choice tea roseq. on the contrary, are selling better. Carnations are again a factor, as the well-grown in- door stock is making its appearance. Dahlias are exceptionally fine. C. W. Bruton is maintaining its popularity as the leading yellow. Gardenias are com- ing in crop. Indications point to a fair supply for the October weddings. Wild smilax has been in demand for the deco- rations. Some New Ideas. It may interest some of our readers to knovf that the new sq«iKre pot covers are gaining in popularity. They are pleas- ing in appearance and the plant is easily released. Ribbons are now being made in eight or ten shades of green, which will match the color of any foliage to perfection. These foliage-colored rib- bons, when combined with ribbons that match the flowers, are very effective. For instance, a bunch of American Beau- ties may be tied with a sash of Beauty ribbon and foliage-green ribbon in very good taste. Similar pleasing ef- fects may be produced in a variety of shades of these delicately colored rib- bons. There is a growing feeling that more attention must be paid to the profitable disposal of the poorer grades of cut flowers and for this purpose a demand must be developed for design work on improved methods. There are great possibilities for artistic work in this line. A Chinese Village. Fred J. Michell called Phil's atten- tion to an original window display at his company's store this week. The window represented a Chinese village, with the family hard at work in the field among the sacred lilies. Green shaded electric lights lit up the scene beautifully. Philip Frued, who ar- ranged the window, said the demand for Chinese lilies had increased won- derfully in consequence. Home Asain* Ed. Reid returned to this city on Saturday after three weeks spent in the sunny south. Mr. Reid visited Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Vir- ginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. His welcome everywhere was typical of the warm-hearted south- erner. In fact, Mr. Reid thinks that sometimes his host purposely made him miss his train, were such a thing pos- sible. He made business arrangements for the coming season with some new and many old customers, who were kind enough to say that his stocH was of the finest and his packing of the best. ** Would it be the same this The Quaker Qty Machine Co.'8 New Ventilatof Arm. 992 TTic Weekly Florists^ Review* Sbptembbr 21, 1905. v g> M% Mm /A ^ v«#k ^k m*% ■ m m%% A ^^ ^^ ^^^^ ^^^ largest and best assort- l^Iiry9CiniIlt>IIlUlIl9 ment of Chrysanthemums in Chicago this season and can supply your wants after Oct.

Hugh Graham decorated three large department store fall openings this week. J. J. Habermehl's Sons had a large decoration for Strawbridge & Clothier's opening on Monday. The Wm. Graham Co. had a large decoration at Gimbel Bros, on Monday. The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving fine Beauties, Gates and Meteors from George Burton. Samuel S. Pennock returned from his vacation on Monday and is hard at work in harness again. Eugene Bernheimer is making a specialty of autumn foliage. Wm. E. Gibson, of Charleston, S. C, is spending a week under the doctor's care in his home in this city. H. H. Battles has completed work on his new store at 110 South Twelfth street. Two stores thrown into one pre- sent a very handsome appearance, the woodwork painted a deep green. Tbo show windows are ornamented with specimens of Adiantum Farleyense grown at Newtown Square, Ficus pan- durata and Cibotium Schiedei. Charles E. Meehan and family re- turned from Ocean City this week. A large and representative party of members of the Philadelphia Florists' Club and their families visited Acto last Saturday afternoon as the guests of the L. K. Peacock Co. and spent a delightful afternoon among the dahlias. Watkis & Nicholson, of Lakeview Greenhouse, Hammonton, N. J., deco- rated for a large church wedding re- cently. The color scheme in the church was white and green, using 2,000 asters, 1,000 feet of smilax and 100 palms and ferns. At the house where the recep- tion was held they used smilax, palms, ferns and fancy-leaved caladiums. They find that fancy-leaved caladiums are fine for decorations. The Pennsylvania Horticultural So- ciety had its September meeting last Tuesday. Dahlias and asters were the features. The dahlia crates blocking the side- walk in front of 1237 Filbert street were found to belong to William J. Moore. Edward Habermehl predicts a busy October. Vyncote. Joseph Heacock has experienced an unusually heavy demand for palms dur- ing the past summer. His stock of ken- tias is so large and so well managed that this can only be detected by a careful comparison of the houses as they were in June and are now in September. The houses are full; they are always kept full. Children will grow, you know. The visitor who walks through the palm houses is quickly convinced that Mr. Heacock 's kentias are as fine as they can be grown. Nephrolepis Scottii, Cibotium Schiedei and Dracaena terminalis are looking well. The houses devoted to American Beauties are in prime condition, some 10,000 plants all in benches ready for the season.

His oldest son, James Heacock, made our visit a very pleasant one. The Haddenfield Show. L. K. Peacock made a magnificent ex- hibition of dahlias in the Haddenfield show last week. He staged over 500 var- ieties of dahlias. Fully fifty of these varieties were equal to any of the early chrysanthemums. Some could scarcely be distinguished from chrysanthemums except by the foliage. The flowers were all on long stems, each variety by itself, correctly labeled. The exhibition, which was open from Tuesday until Saturday, was the finest dahlia show ever given in this country and reflects the greatest credit on Mr. Peacock. The Ideal Salesman. The Review realizes that the position of a cut flower and plant salesman is one of importance to the grower, to the wholesaler, to the retailer and to the consumer. The Review believes that a high standard among the salesmen will do much to promote the interests of all those who buy or sell cut flowers or plants, and to promote harmony among them. The Review therefore proposes a prize essay competition similar to that held by the S. A. F. under the follow- ing conditions: The subject of the essay shall be "The Ideal Salesman." Each competitor shall mall his essay, nn- slgned, on or before Septrmber 30, 1906, to Phil, care of any of the wholesale cut flower houses In this city. Each essay must be unsigned, accompanied by the writer's name and address in a sealed envelope. This envelope wlH not be opened until the awards have been made. The essays and sealed envelopes will be num- bered when received and the essays will be submitted to a competent Judge. His awards will be announced In the Review of October 12. The first prize will be $10, the second prize $5. It is especially desired that the essays be clear, concise and to the point. Concentration. [Respectfully dedicated to B. C.

It so happened that Jonathan was first at the gate of the early Oxford ac- commodation at Broad street station. Jonathan likes to be first, but when the gate closed and he had to board the train without David his anxiety was awakened. A careful search through the train showed that David had not slipped across the platform from an inbound train and Jonathan was about to leave the train at West Philadelphia when luckily for my story David appeared calm and unmoved, merely remarking as he boarded the Oxford train that his local tram was late eight minutes. The pair left the train at West Grove, where they were met by a team from the Conard & Jones Co. that quick- ly brought them up the new Telford road to the company's ofSces where President Alfred F. Conard and Secretary Robert Pyle extended a hearty greeting. An- other eighth of a mile and the visitors have left the front seats of their con- veyance and are shaking hands with An- toine Wintzer, in the big packing-room where the orders that go out all over the world are packed. David explained that they wanted to see as many places as possible, so they would see the houses and cannas as quickly as possible, but Mr. Wintzer was so earnest in his wish that they should see the whole place, and so cor- dial in his invitation to dine with him at his home, that it was voted churlish to decline and off the trio started through the houses. The roses planted out for propagation embrace nearly all the well known hybrid teas and teas, besides a number of climb- ers, so called semi-climbers, hybrids, polyanthas, etc., of the present and of the past. The latest novelties of the day, French, German and American, may be found side by side with old favorites now hard to find elsewhere. Of the new- er sorts Etoile de France is looking well. Richmond and R. O. English are not. Probably they will improve under the system of treatment which from now on produces such excellent growth. (To be continued.) Phil. COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. During the absence of a regular ex- hibit by the florists of the state, the floral department at the state fair in Pueblo has become the one important show in which the trade exhibits for prizes and advertising. The show held September 11 to 15 was the most com- plete in several years and from present prospects there will be a number of en- tries from outside next year. The plant exhibit was especially good, owing to the efforts of John Sked, of the Park Floral Co., of Denver, who came in with some very fine palms and specimen plants of Nephrolepis Elegan- tissima. Messrs. F. Hayden and S. Lundy rep- resented the Pike's Peak and Colorado Springs Floral companies, of this city, and Afc C. Rott represented and deco- rated for J. B. Braidwood and Ellis Gillis decorated for the Park Floral Co. In the plant entries the Park Floral Co. won out, with J. B. Braidwood second. Prizes on cut flowers were well divided among the exhibitors. On Wednesday the decorations were in place and proved the main feature of the show. Braidwood won first place with cash prizes on both table and mantel, with the Park Floral Co. second, the lat- ter taking first on design, with Braid- wood second. Bride's bouquet and deco- rated basket were won by the Park Flo- ral Co., with the Colorado Springs Floral Co. second. A. C. R. NEW BEDFORD, MASS. The third annual fall exhibition of the New Bedford Horticultural Society was held in City Hall September 14 to 16, and proved a very successful one, being superior to that held in 1904. The schedule comprised nearly 200 classes, about sixty being devoted to dahlias. These latter made a tremendous display, W. C. Winter, C. Pierce, G. H. Walker and other prominent growers being among the exhibitors. There were a large number of special prizes donated by Peter Henderson & Co., H. A. Dreer Co., W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Arthur Cowee, J. K. Alexander, Schlegel & Fottler Co. and others. — The officers of the society are: Wil- liam Keith, president; J. C. Forbes, clerk; F. C. Barrows, vice-president; W. A. Gibbs, treasurer. The executive com- mittee consists, in addition to the offi- cers, of Dennis Shea, H. A. "Jahn, James Garthley, A. J. Fish and George N. Bor- den. W. N. C.

Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual meeting will be held at Sdn Jose, Cal., June, 1906. California brown mustard seed is now quoted at 4^ to 4 V^ cents per pound. Clover seed has ranged close to $7, October delivery, at Toledo the past week. At Chicago, the timothy seed market is around $3.45 for October and $3.40 for March. The Pretoria from Hamburg landed thirty-three cases and ninety-six bags of seeds at New York September 17. Sunflower seed at 10 cents a pound does not suit the poultrymen. It will be cheaper, however, when the new crop comes in. From the present outlook dealers in seed potatoes predict high prices for seed stock and look forward to a good demand next spring. Flax seed is off sharply in price, cash No. 1 northwestern having declined to 98 cents at Chicago, in sympathy with the Duluth and Minneapolis markets. The Michigan cucumber fields promise a fair crop of seed. The fruits seem to be well filled out and ought to produce well. . Cutting will begin in the course of a week or two. Peas are now being delivered to the receiving stations and the samples are reported satisfactory. The quantities delivered are below estimates recently made and the general feeling is that the crop will be short. The Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Cam- bridge, N. Y., has issued its annual re- port on the onion crop, placing it . at 3,226,202 bushels as against 3,466,993 bushels in 1904. The acreage this year is 14,003 as against 12,810 last year. Revised reports from California are more encouraging. Seventy-five per cent of a full delivery is promised now, where forty to fifty per cent was prom- ised some time ago. This refers to sev- eral important items and comes from different sources. While the deliveries of peas have been backward, the reverse is the case with beans. An early harvest insures, as a rule, a bright sample. In this re- spect the bean crop this year promises all that could be desired, the only trouble being that there will not be enough to go around. Onion sets are being milled and the shrink from what is termed ' ' field meas- ure" will lessen the crop more than any grower anticipated. The maximum shrink from field measure for many years past has not been over twenty-five per cent; this year thirty-three and one- third per cent will hardly cover it. DUTCH BULBS. The report from Holland is that bulb shipments have practically come to an end, and planting operations of bulb stocks are in full swing. As regards trade, it may be said that hyacinths sold at very low prices but cleared out well. Crocus was in better demand than last season and command much firmer prices. Tulips have been in unusual demand and all the leading sorts have gone up sharply in price. Some sorts are not to be had at any price. This has been caused partly by the short crop, but without doubt the demand for tulips gen- erally, both for forcing and for bed- ding-out purposes has also grown enor- mously. May-flowering Darwin tulips are moving very slowly. THE ERFURT SEED CROPS. A correspondent of the Horticultural Trade Journal writes as follows from Erfurt, Germany, under date of Sep- tember 1: On the whole our summer has been Tery favorable. There have been some destructive hailstorms in central Germany, but they have with one or two exceptions spared the Erfurt district; indeed, it is quite fourteen years since really serious damage was done here by a fall of hail. Casting a look round the fields it is evident that we shall have a good crop of carrots. Radishes are middling. Onions are under aver- age, a few sorts being extremely scarce. Turnips are good, and also swedes, of which, however, only a small acreage is out. Cabbages are not looking very well, but of these, especially the drumhead kinds, there is a very large stock of strong growing seed on hand from last season. Round-seeded peas arc turning out fairly plenti- ful, but the wrinkled varieties are coming in rather under estimate, especially some of the earlier sorts, such as Gradus. Broad beans are In a good shape at present, and Dwarf Kidney beans promise a medium crop. As regards Run- ners it is yet too soon to say anything definite. Leeks promise a fair yield, and lettuces should give a plentiful supply of seed if no disease at- tacks the plants between now and harvest- time. Spinach is somewhat under average, and prices are opening higher than those prevail- ing last season. Mangels and sugar beets are likely to yield well, but stocks are all but ex- hausted and values are sure to advance on those last quoted. Cauliflower, kale, parsley, parsnip and most of the herbs are doing well, and there is not likely to be any shortage worth men- tioning in the supply. Flowers are having a good time this season, the weather being exactly suited to most of our local specialties. Stocks and wallflowers are seeding well. The pansy crop has not quite come up to expectations and prices tfre quoted a little higher, but the supply will probably equal the demand. Sweet peas have yielded well, and, as the California crop Is reported short, intending buyers will do well to tarn their attention to Erfurt-grown sweet peas, which are an excellent sample and can be de- livered earlier in the season than the American. Nasturtiums are an average crop, though some- what reduced by hail and black fly. Most other annuals are in a flourishing condition. Asters are now beginning to make their annnal display, and the broad stretches of plants are slowly developing the rich and varied tints, which make a drive round the Erfurt flower fields so charming at this season of the year. The plant is not quite so strong as could have been wished and the crop Is not likely to be more than an average one. GRASS SEED CROPS. A. Le Coq & Co., Darmstadt, Germany, write September 1 that grass seed crop reports will, they think, need no further modification. The necessary conditions for a good development of the plants and seeds were wanting. The continued drought last year was followed by a snowless winter, and this, as well as a dry spring with always changing tem- perature, followed by continued heat all summer, was very unfavorable to the de- velopment of seeds. "With few exceptions the harvest has been unsatisfactory. Agrostls stolonlfera (German species) has not yet been thrashed, but in some districts nothing at all was harvested, while others have only a small crop. Prices will therefore be higher than last year. Less of Alra flexuosa has been harvested and only small quantities of Alra caespltosa have been brought In. The crop of Alopecurus pratenste Is much be- low that of last season. W^'^^rl^/ 996 ^Thc Weekly Florists^ Review* Septbmbbb 21, 1906. The yield of Anthoxanthum odoratum is ■mailer tlian last year and the seeds are in many cases not well deyeloped. We have no definite reports yet as to the crop of Avena elatior from France. Austria and Germany have only small quantities. If France, as it looks, bus a good harvest we shall see somewhat lower prices. The yield of Bromus inermls is under the average. The reports about Cynosurus cristatus vary very much, but we look for somewhat lower prices. The exi)ectation8 for a good crop of Dactylis glomerata in New Zealand were disappointed. Our home crop has no influence on the market, and If France has not an abundant crop, which we doubt, we think prices will have a little advance. Festuca duriuscula and ovlna were disappoint- ing. Festuca arundinacea (elatior) has suffered much from the drought. The yield will be hardly one quarter of last year's and we shall see very high prices for this species. Festuca ovina tenuifolia has given such poor results in south Germany as we have not had for years pjiHt. Tlio iicst Siimples are lurt to secure high prices. Our crop of Festuca beterophylla, as well as Festuca rubra, has been very small; the latter has also in New Zealand yielded only a deficient crop. The harvest of Lolium perenne is very good, and we shall hare best seed at moderate prices. Iiollum Itallcum is the same good crop. Phalarls arundinacea has yielded a good crop. Prices will be lower. Poa nemoralis has not been able to develop, in consequence of the unfavorable weather we bad in spring. The harvest is in quantity as well as quality much inferior to last year's. Poa trivlalis is about one-tenth less than last season but of fine quality. The crop of alfalfa (of Provence) has turned out much better than anticipated. The coming crop of Turkestan alfalfa is expected to be an average one only, and as the demand for this species is increasing every year, we look for higher prices than last year. We have no doubt of a poor crop of white clover, and the market for this article is firm and prices are advancing. The first reports of Trifollum Incarnatum were very favorable, but the expectations were dis- appointed and high prices still prevail. CLEANING CUCUMBER SEED. I wish to inquire the best method of removing the seed from ripe cucum- bers, when they should be gathered and how to separate the seed from the pulp. W. C. P. The best method of separating cucum- ber seeds from the pulp is to let it fer- ment in its own juice, then wash it thoroughly and place upon racks to dry. To remove the pulp, cut the fruits open and scoop the seeds with their juice into a barrel and let it remain in the barrel until the fermentation has loosened the seeds from the pulp. Cut the fruits when they are fully ripe, but before they break open of themselves, avoiding in this way parts of the rind getting into the bar- rel in the cutting operation. When seed is grown in a large way machines are sometimes used to grind the fruits, rind and all, into the barrels, but it takes machinery to clean out the parts of the rind when crushed in this way and the hand process is recommended to small growers in preference to the ma- 3700 Acres of Gar- dea Seeds Caltlva- tioa.

The seed will not spoil as long as it remains in its own juice^ but as soon as water is added to facilitate the cleaning of the seed from the pulp, the sooner the seed can be got out and dried the better, as it will spoil quickly when water is added. The cleaner the opera- tor can get the pulp and seed into the barrel the easier will be the process of getting the seed out quickly and clean. Many methods of cutting and scooping the seed into the barrels are adopted. The most convenient way is to have a slanting table narrowed to the front, similar to that used in a hay cutting ma- chine. Fix a chopping knife at a con- venient place on one side of the wide portion and a wooden, spoon-shape con- trivance on the other. Throw the rinds over to the ground and push the scooped- out pulp into the barrel at the narrow end. Clothes-poles and cheese-cloth make good drying frames. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

The climate being mild, plants may easily be kept in pots or outside in the open ground, and saved over the winter with very little protection. Fifteen years ago plants were sold only at the French market on Sunday morning. Half a dozen florists had stands on the levee, in front of the Mississippi river, and opposite the flsh market. The plants in pots were ranged on the pavement, in the open air, with- out any kind of covering, each florist paying every time a small fee to the collector. The season started with the end of January and lasted until the end of June, no florist showing himself in the summer months or during the fall and part of the winter months. Now, and since the last few years, plants are brought to at least twenty different markets and almost all the year around without interruption. There are now about twenty-five flo- rists who follow the market business more or less regularly. They bring a wagon-load at a time, a great variety of plants, according to the time of the year. Good plants find a ready sale. Our people are good judges, and what is said for flowers can be also applied to plants, nothing is too good for New Orleans. Prices were higher some years ago, but the quantity of plants disposed of was less and the time of selling shorter. We can say that the business is now on a large increase. Loose flowers and made-up bouquets of home-grown flow- ers are also to be found almost every day of the j^ear at these markets. Several attempts have been made to open a wholesale market for field-grown roses and flowers to supply the trade, and greenhouses have been built to meet the great demand for roses and carnations during the winter months, and no doubt with better understand- ing of our climate and mode of culture we will be able, in the near future, to supply ourselves with these products. "While there are a few peddlers of- fering plants on the streets during the spring season, the fakir business of FIRST QUALITY, 60c PER 1000.

Mention The Review when yog write. selling flowers around town has not been a factor, only a few loose carna- tions and bouttonieres being offered on Canal street during the carnival season. It is also to be noted that New Or- leans has comparatively few flowear stores. Some of our up-to-date flo- rists have selling rooms attached to their greenhouses, but the number of our regular retail flower stores is no more than four or five, all being located in the same neighborhood, almost touch- ing each other. It seems that New Or- leans, with a population of 300,000 people, should have room for more. Variotit Notes. Geo. Thomas, for many years gar- dener to Mrs. Chas. Whitney, on St. Charles avenue, has established him- self at the corner of Calhoun and Clai- borne streets. E. Valdejo has been busy all the sum- mer building houses, not greenhouses, but gray-painted, two-story residences. He believes in taking a little rest after twenty years of hard work, having been established since 1885. He thinks, and we all agree with him, that the collect- ing of rent is not quite so hard as the making and marketing of plants. He will stand as one more proof of what at- tention and fair dealing bring in the fiorist business. Fine plants have al- ways been his specialty and he has still a fine lot of them. He makes hanging baskets by the hundreds and says that the Anna Foster fern makes PITTSBURG FLORISTS* EXCHANGE Wholesale Florists and Florists' Bnppliss. eS8 Diamond St.. PITTSBURG. PA.

There is much more snap to the demand and with this there is an improvement in the price, which is thankfully received. With the home-coming of our best flower-buy- ing public there ought to be a decided improvement this week. The quality of the stock that is com- ing in is improving rapidly. Beauties are not very plentiful but the quality is good. They sell well. Some fine Brides and Maids are coming now and the price has advanced about a cent all around. A few Kaiserin go fairly well. Golden Gate and Ivory sell well. Some Meteor and Liberty go fairly well, but they are not quite up to standard yet. Carnations continue to improve and the best bring $2 per hundred. There is good valley to be had at all times. Gladioli and asters are still on the mar- ket and are selling much better now. We look for our first mums this week. Smilax is scarce and the demand for all kinds of "greens" is heavy. Various Notes. Fred Gear and wife have just re- turned from a visit at Atlantic City. Fred is fitting up a first-class oflS.ce over his store. Mrs. Frank Benson has just returned from a visit in Nebraska. Wm. McFadden has sold his interest in the Eosebank greenhouses and store and is devoting his time to editing a paper. W. H. Gear is back from the north and reports having had a fine time. W. Eehm, of New Orleans, was a visitor, as also was Martin Eeukauf, of Philadelphia. C J. Ohmer. KANSAS QTY. Because George E. Kessler, the flower show director, has gone to Europe to be absent several weeks, Convention hall di- rectors have appointed L. A. Goodman director in his place. C. A. Chandler is superintendent of exhibits. Arnold Eingier, secretary of the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, told a local newspaper interviewer that "great in- terest is being manifested in this show by eastern flower people. They have had bulbs and the like in cold storage ever since last spring," he declared, "just in preparation for this show. Tho Kansas City show will surpass anything of its kind in this country. Of course, there are other cities where good shows are being held, but in this one the proper interest is shown and everything is doue to make it a success. "Incidentally it is timely to remark that there never was such a demand for flowers and shrubs of a high quality as right now and right in this country. Of course, for older gardens America may not be able to compare with those of Europe-^I mean private enterprises. The country here is relatively young and it takes many years to develop these things. But in a general way this coun- try is ahead of any other as a flower countrj-. Of all the cities there is none which, according to its population, buys as much flower goods and of as high a quality as does Kansas City." MADISON, N. J. The Society Meetings Begin. After the usual summer vacation, the regular meetings of the Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' Society were resumed September 13. Attendance was good. Two new members, John C. Elliott and Ambrose H. Seeker, were elected. The monthly show of flowers and vege- tables was up to the standard. E. Vince, gardener to E. D. Foote, showed a batch of very fine cockscombs in pots, also a vase of an early white chrysanthemum, fine for so early, securing a cultural cer- tificate. A. Herrington brought in Nico- tiana SandersB in pots which was award- ed a cultural certificate. John Fraser, gardener to Gustave E. Kissell, put up some crotons of fine coloring, which won him a cultural certificate. E. Eeagan had five vases of cactus dahlias, which brought him the same award. J. Here- mans, gardener to A. E. Whitney, staged a few dishes of Ailsa Craig onion of great size and fine finish which secured a cultural certificate. The judges were C. H. Totty, Wm. Duckham and Wm. Mtilmichel. Making final arrangements for the flower show and other incidentals took up much time. I may say that the great attraction of the evening was the beautiful silver cup on exhibition. It was presented to the society by Farquhar & Co., of Boston, to be awarded for two best vases of carnations, one white and one any one color. To win the cup the same person must take it two years in succession, the vases to contain twenty-five flowers each. There will be much fun, as many eyes ar-e on it. Mr. Herrington was called on to teU us of the Washington convention. It was a treat to those who were not there. The speaker so ably acquitted himself that he received a rising vote of thanks. Bobt. H. Schultz responded to a call for the "inner man" side of the convention. He was fully equal to the occasion. He landed us away down in Bsdtimore, where in trying to describe the hospitality of the Baltimore boys, his feelings almost overcame him. After a vote of thanks to the speaker, the meeting adjourned. E. E. ROCK ISLAND, ILL. The Tri-City Florists' Association held a rousing meeting September 14, at the home of Ludwig Stapp, and the at- tendance was the largest that has been seen at any of the meetings for several months. The reports of John Temple and John Staack, who attended the S. A. F. convention at Washington, were received with a great deal of interest, and the delegates gave in addition an account of their visit to all of the largest florist es- tablishments in the east. Theo. Ewoldt and John Temple, the delegates to the state horticultural meet- ing at Des Moines, also gave an interest- ing account of their stay in the capital city. Henry Gaethje, who has just re- turned from Germany, entertained the association with an account of his trip. One new member was received and other business attended to. The next meeting of the association will be held at the home of Wm. Knees, in Moline. ippim>rw9tiJWMjjiiJiwfjn. 1006 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Septbubbr 21, 1006. NURSERY NEWS.

The Slst annual convention will be held at DaUas, Texas, June, 1906. The peony dealers report larger sales than ever this season. O. P. Nichols established a nursery business at Davenport, la., in 1858 and since 1865 the business has been con- ducted by Nichols & Lorton. W. E.

Tetibick & Son, Blackwell, Okla., report that stock has made an ex^ ceptional growth this season and pros- pects for business are very bright. James B. Hutchison has sold his nursery at Litchfield, 111., to Wm. Price, of Greenville, who will dispose of the stock and follow market gardening. NuRSERYMEiN in Southern Indiana re- port a very good growing season, with good crops among the farmers and every prospect for a record-breaking fall and spring. Pending a test of the new law in Indi- ana providing penalties for delivering fruit trees not true to name, many nurs- erymen are inclined to go slow in that state, for accidents will happen in the best regulated of families. The American Pomological Society is holding its twenty-ninth biennial meet- ing this week at Kansas City. The at- tendance is thought to have suffered somewhat by reason of postponement from the date first announced. Charles Waters, of "White Salmon, Wash., claims that the "seedless" apple now known as Spencer's originated in Virginia and that he had stock of it before the Civil War, selling part to Spencer in 1890. Mr. Waters says the fruit is valueless. With many of the wholesale growers of nursery stock the fall season is now almost as heavy as in spring, due to the fact that all stock now goes into stor- age houses and many buyers who sell again prefer to have the stock in their own houses during winter. INDIANAPOLIS. Indiana State Fair. The Indiana State Fair was held here September 11 to 15. The usual premiums were offered for plants and cut flowers, which brought some very good exhibits, especially in the floral design classes. The plant exhibits were hardly up to the standard and Judge Bock withheld one or two premiums. The plant prizes were pretty well divided between Baur Sa Smith, E. A.' Nelson and Wm. Billings- ley. The first day John Rieman took first on two floral designs, Nelson taking second and Wm. Billingsley third. On two baskets, J. Rieman was first and Nelson second. On cut dahlias Rieman was first and W. W. Coles, of Kokomo, second. On cut roses W. W. Coles took first for the thirteenth time, and Rie- man second. On collection of cut flow- ers W. W. Coles was first and Nelson second. On Thursday, in the class for origi- nal floral arrangement, J. Rieman put up the finest piece of work ever shown at the Indiana State Fair. It was a parlor lamp six feet high. Not only was the piece very appropriate but the colors used and the finish of the work could not have been improved upon. Wm. Billingsley ran a close second, with a reproduction of a painting of a basket of roses. At any previous fair this would have won out. E. A. Nelson's gondola was a pretty piece and elicited much praise. On this day for two bouquets, Rie- man was first. Nelson second and Coles third. On cut gladioli Rieman was first, Coles second and Nelson third. There was the usual amount of ama- teur stuff but nothing out of the ordi- nary. Many out-of-town florists were in the city during the week, among whom was E. G. Hill, of Richmond. The Fall Flower Show. The managing committee of florists, consisting of J. Hartje, Mrs. Vesey, F. Dorner, Jr., E. G. Hill, A. F. J. Baur, H. Young, H. W. Rieman and J. A. E. Haugh, held a meeting one day last week and rearranged the prem- ium list for the fall show. Sev- eral hundred dollars was added to the total and, instead of adding to the number of classes, it was consid- ered advisable to make the premiums larger, especially on a few special classes in which the public always takes much interest. The rose premiums were raised all around but the Beauty premiums were- made especially attractive. For 100 Beauties five premiums are offered, $100,. $75, $50, $35 and $25. The carnation premiums were also raised so as to make them more attractive. The final list will be out about the last of October and can be had on application to I. Bertermann, who is secretary- The general support for the show seems excellent and this i» expected to be the best show ever given here. The management is doing all la its power to boom it to the public. In- tending exhibitors are already inquiring about the list, space, etc. Among them are W. K. I*artridge, of Lockland, O.,. and Nathan Smith & Son, of Adrian^ Mich., both of whom have been among the successful exhibitors at our shows for years. They will have plenty of com- petition, however, from our own boys, if present appearance of stock is any indi- cation. There are not a great many large specimen plants being grown around here, but what there are are in fine shape. Of the market plant sizes there will be a fine show. A.

Mention The ReWew when yon write. Vegetable Forcing. MUSHROOMS. Spawning; the Beds. After the bed is made up it will prob- ably rise to from 105 to 110 degrees, but before the spawn is inserted it should be allowed to drop to 90 degrees, or a little below. If spawned too warm it will result in what is known as burn- ing the spawn, which will not only in- jure but often entirely destroy the crop. The spawn should be broken up into pieces one and one-half to two inches square. These pieces should be inserted in the bed deep enough so that the up- per surface of the spawn will be about two inches below the level of the surface of the bed. The holes over the spawn should be filled in with the material composing the bed and made quite firm. The temperature of the bed should be al- lowed to decline at least 10 degrees after the spawn is inserted before the covering of soil is put on. This covering should be packed moderately firm and, being of a closer nature than the manure, natur- ally acts as a conserver of heat and us- ually causes the temperature of the bed to rise a few degrees. This, however, "will only be temporary and in the course -of a few days the temperature of the bed will again be on the decline. It is often hard to procure soil free from the germs of fungus. The best material that can be had is a good, friable loam from an old pasture. As fibre is unnecessary the best way to get the soil is to first take off the sod from the surface and take the soil immediately below. The depth to which it can be taken will depend on the depth of good soil to be had. Some soils run shallow, so that only a few inches of good soil can be had under the sotl, while in some cases it could be taken if ilesired to a depth of a foot or more. The only safe rule is to take only the good loam and avoid getting down into the subsoil. Providing that it is not after a wet Bpell, the soil as taken from the pasture lot will be in about the right condition of moisture to apply to the bed, but it is better to have it in the mushroom house, or some place where a tempera- ture of about 60 degrees is maintained, for a few days previous to applying to the bed, so that it will not be too cold. When the temperature of the bed has dropped to about 75 degrees, a light covering of hay should be put over it. This covering helps to conserve both heat and moisture and protects the bed against fluctuations, if such should oc- cur, in the temperature of the house. This covering can be safely left on until the mushrooms begin to appear, which should be in about six weeks from time of spawning. The time of their coming up varies, but after six weeks it is well to keep a lookout for them and remove the covering before they begin to work up into it. W. S. Croydon. DETROIT. The Market Business was very dull the past week. Good asters are quite scarce and, with the heavy rain on Sunday, it is likely they will soon be a thing of the past. Good carnations are to be seen in greater quantities, although still short in stem. Brides and Maids are still very poor, cept smilax. "Green" is plentiful, ex- Variout Notes. The public school gardens were judged September 15 by committees of florists. This work was begun two years ago and for the present season packages of seeds were distributed among 10,000 school children. To increase their inter- est the Detroit Florists ' Club offered two first and twoi second prizes of $10 and $5 each for the best exhibits of flowers in the various schools. Messrs. Bernard Sul- livan, L. Bemb and G. H. Taepke judged at nine of the schools and Philip Breit- meyer, J. F. Sullivan and William Dil- ger at nine others. B. Schroeter was the principal exhi- bitor at the state fair and captured nearly all the first premiums, fourteen altogether. Thos. Gowanlock had a bet- ter collection of coleus. Andrew Fergu- son had the best fern and Mr. Gowan- loch was second. Wm. Brown was sec- ond on design and Mr. Ferguson third. George Johnston, a mason employed on the Breitmeyer building, fell from the fifth floor to the basement, being in- stantly killed. This is the first acci- dent since work was begun. Harry Smith is rapidly recovering from his sprained ankle. Painters and decorators have been busy in Taepke 's store, producing a very pretty effect in green and white. Business at the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange was so rushing on Sunday that Manager Dilger had to be called out of church. Calling him from church wasn't so bad if he hadn't been just taking a nap. Steincke & Son, at Woodmere, are building two houses 26x80. There are some beautiful specimens of Hydrangea paniculata in bloom at Woodmere cemetery. Visitors: George Bridson, Fenton; C. F.

Simon Humfeld, proprietor of the Muncie Floral Co., has just completed his new additions, consisting of a 125- foot propagating house and connecting house, to his new heating plant, of which he is very proud, having put in two fifty horse-power boilers of the Atlas type. His large smokestack is adequate for the expectation of a much larger addition anticipated for next season. The new houses this year make fourteen in all, giving a total of about 30,000 feet of glass, all of which are modem style W. M. Bailey, his foreman, is from th(r east and is a very successful grower and propagator. Owing to the increasing de- mand for good stock he finds it neces sary to get up a good hustle. BALTIMORE.

Carnations have improved in quality and supply during the past week £ind are selling well. Dahlias are not so plentiful as in former years. California violets have already made their appearance but are not yet of good quality. Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Burger are back from their three weeks' vacation.

SAN FRANCISCO. The Market Good stock of all kinds continues to be in very short supply. Carnations are more plentiful than rdses, but they are short-stemmed and wUl not be up to the standard for several weeks. Asters are much less plentiful and the price has advanced about fifty per cent. Chrysan- themums are not quite ready. A few hot- house yellows and whites are shown, but the outside stock will still be scarce for a couple of weeks. Lilium album and rubrum are nearing the end of their season. Business is quiet, although I think it is a trifle better, on the aver- age, than that of a year ago. Variotti Notes. W. H. Skimming, of Haywards, has on exhibition at the Oakland Board of Trade a specimen of the Bussian sun- flower weighing twenty pounds and measuring eighteen inches across. H. M. Sanborn, of Oakland, is in Portland on a two weeks' vacation. Eugene Buergle, gardener to F. Till- man, of Fruitvale, has in bloom one of the finest collections of dahlias in the county. The town of Palo Alto is to employ a landscape architect and make numerous improvements, as well as plant largely of trees and shrubbery on the public thoroughfares this season. The California State Floral Society had its annual dahlia show at Elks' hall on Friday of last week. A very fine as- sortment of blooms was exhibited, con- sisting of the best of the old with a number of the newer sorts. The cactus dahlias attracted most of the attention. The committee of arrangements was com- posed of Mrs. O. D. Wheeler, Mrs. J. Branin, John Hinkle and John Val- lance. The Society of Hortensia, originally composed of gardeners and florists of German nationality, has appointed a committee to rearrange the by-laws so that the meetings will hereafter be con- ducted in the English language. J. Monson, a gardener employed in the grounds of the University of Califor- nia, at Berkeley, has lost his eyesight as the result of. the splashing of a mixture of Paris green and whale oU soap that was being used on the oak trees to de- stroy the caterpillars and which acci- dentally struck his face.

John Isaac, after acting as representa- tive for California in a conference with the horticultural authorities of Mexico, has just reported that six and perhaps more states in Mexico are harboring a foe of oranges and other nursery stock which this coast has reason to dread. Mr. Isaac was sent to the southern republic because it protested against the exclu- sion of Mexican fruits and plants from California. He made the trip under in- structions from Horticultural Commis- sioner Elwood Cooper. He reports that he found that thousands of citrus fruits, mangoes, etc., have been destroyed with- in the past three months by the Mexicans in an attempt to eradicate the orange maggot, which has occasioned most of the damage. The orange maggot proceeds from the eggs of the insect known as the thry- peta ludens. The fecundity of this in- sect is something astonishing. A written statement made by Prof. Herrera, of Mexico, is quoted by Mr. Isaac in his re- port that the descendants of 3,000 larvae at the fourth generation, or within one year, number 4,500,000 in round figures. Evidently the Mexicans do not object to sending this blight abroad, as Prof. Herrera further states that one great cir- cumstance which prevents the plague from spreading very fast in Mexico is the fact that the greater part of the PIBB80NX rBBAM AVNA rOBTBB FBBHS Nephrolepis Scottii Per doe.

Mr. Isaac reports that from the inves- tigation made, from the best information obtainable, it appears that the pest ex- ists in the states of Guerrero, Morelos, Oaxaca, Tabasco and Vera Cruz and quite probably also in Campeachy, Tlax- cala and Yucatan. The other Mexi- can states are thus far apparently free from the pest. The infested section that California would fear is the state of Guerrero and its port of Acapulco. It is one of the principal shipping point8,in Mexico and there is continuous inter- communication between it and Califor- nia points. G. fO(0 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Septbubdr 21, 1905. DENVER, The Market Business conditions remain about the same as last week, trade continuing fair- ly good for September, Stock is in good shape. Brides and Maids have increased offerings and are fine in bud and stems. Chatenays are also good, quite a few se- lects being cut, while Liberty is not far behind. Some of the new Bichmond are seen, as well as Rosalind Orr English, be- ing fine in color and witB~qirite-gQod stems. Some of the new crop of cams tions are now coming into the ixiarket,\ but as yet are not very long in st^m, but are improving every day, the white, per- haps, being the best. Asters are very much in evidence in all colors. White and purple sell well, while pink go slowly. The top price is $3 per hundred and down as low as 50 cents for common. Dahlias are now to be had in quantity in all shades of color and appear to be fine, the weather hav- ing been favorable. Variotis Notes. W. W. Wilmore, the dahlia specialist, was a large prize-winner at a recent show of the El Paso County Horticul- tural Society. For general collection of dahlia plants, he took first prize, a sil- ver cup; first prize for general collection of named varieties, cut flowers; first for ten named varieties, show or fancy ■dahlias; second for named varieties of «actus dahlias and collection of singles; first for display of named novelties not disseminated before 1904; second for five named pompon dahlias; first for six varieties and for five blooms Twentieth Century. Mr. Wilmore also won first prize for general collection of gladioli and for twelve spikes red and for twelve spikes blue or lavender. Wm. F. Gude, of Washington, D. C, was a caller a week ago, it being his first visit to this section of the country. He expressed himself as greatly pleased with Colorado. His party was in a rail- road accident. The car containing the party en route to Salida, Colo., collided with a freight train on Labor day, kill- ing four. Two were brought to the hos- pital here and six returned to their homes. At the Colorado State Fair, held at Pueblo, Colo., September 11 to 15, an interesting branch was the floricultural department. In the various collections of plants the Park Floral Co., of Denver, won first premium in every case, with one exception. In cut flowers and floral de- signs they also carried away first premi- ums with the exception of a table and mantel decoration, which were second. The displays in this department at the fair were far ahead of any previous year. Emil Glauber is cutting some very fine asters just now, some measuring four and five inches. E. S. K. LINCOLN, NEB. This year's state fair was the best yet. The attendance was far ahead of last year. The exhibit of the florists in horticultural hall was chiefly made up of palms, ferns and foliage plants.

Society Meeting. The monthly meeting of the Nassau County Horticultural Society was held at the Glen Cove Greenhouses on Septem- ber 6. The attendance was large; in fact, the largest yet. The membership roll steadily increases. At the last meet- ing one new member was elected and three proposed. President Harrison oc- cupied the chair. Preparations for the coming November flower show were pushed forward. Mr. Rickard's prize was awarded to Jas. Halloway, gardener to the Pratt es- tate, for gladioli. The same gentleman has generously given a prize for the Oc- tober meeting for the twelve best carna- tions arranged for effect, while his brother has promised a prize for the best vase of dahlias arranged for effect. The exhibits were large and varied, their histories being listened to with much interest. Mr. Halloway 's collection of apples, peaches and plums looked ex- ceedingly tempting on the table; after- wards they proved very appetizing. The same gentleman showed a branch of Chionanthus Virginica in fruit, a thing not seen every day. Chas. Lenker had a beautiful assort- ment of choice outdoor-grown roses, dah- lias, hydrangeas and hardy perennial phlox, while Mr. Mense, of Glen Cove, exhibited five tea roses and a vase of del- phiniums. John F. Johnston brought cactus dahlias and a collection of seed cones of pines, firs and spruces. J. F. J. Carnation Plants. THE UNITED STATES CUT FLOWER CO., ELMIRA, N. Y.

September is usually the month for the home-coming of flower buyers and it is hoped the prophecies of a busy season will be fulfilled. Up to date there has been nothing of great importance going on, but the market is assuming a more healthy condition. October's outlook is very bright for weddings, judging from orders now on hand. Tea roses are be- coming more plentiful, with the usual low prices for early fall. Beauties are not plentiful and command fair prices. Indoor carnations can be had in almost any quantity, with from $1 to $2 for choice. Asters and dahlias predominate and are sold at prices satisfactory to the grower. Various Notes. At a meeting of the Florists' Club September 11, officers for the ensuing year were nominated. The election Will take place September 25. It is earnestly requested that all members attend, as there will be something doing on this oc- casion. A ride through the system of parks is very enjoyable, to see the large beds of cannas, geraniums, begonias and coleus, all having the best possible care and at- tention. The cannas particularly are a grand sight. Their briUiant array of color and massive foliage are very strik- ing. The beds in the public square are at their prime. Carpet bedding, ancient as it may seem, has a very pleasing and decorative effect when used properly. The various designs and badges of the G. A. B. and the D. A. R. are effectively laid out and true to color scheme. Alter- nantheras, santolinas, alyssums, lobelias, echeverias and sedums are used. Credit is due the gardener who executed these designs. Lakeview cemetery is a most beautiful spot to visit at this season of the year. Trees, shrubs and flower beds present a pretty aspect. Beds of hardy hydran- geas are simply immense; flower heads, enormous in size, with the dark green surroundings, are a pleasure to look upon. A bed of Vernon begonia is one mass of flowers and shows what a fine thing it is when used properly. Forest City. Here is another dollar for the Review.

You stated that a 4-inch riser would be required. I have Bailey's Horticultural Eule Book, to which, if I remember right, you have alluded. I note that its tables (page 156) give the ca- pacity of a 4-inch main as 1,600 square feet. Is this table not correct! This year I wish to heat ten runs of 1-inch pipe 168 feet long in each of two houses ; also a riser for each house. How L".rge will these two risers have to be? Then I wish to heat 125- lineal feet of 1-inch pipe in an end house wi1>h no riser. The riser from the boiler to these houses is about forty feet long. I fig- ure from Prof. Bailey's tables that the total rauiation would be about 1,470 square feet. Is this correct? How large a riser at the boiler will be re- quired? Concerning valves in returns, do check valves work satisfactorily instead of other valves at the lower end of a coil of returns? If so, which would you use, horizontal or upright? Are they used extensively for this purpose. J. M. K. Yes, the table in Bailey's Eule Book is all right. The capacities of the pipes stated on page 156 are, however, more nearly correct for hot water than for steam. A 4-inch riser, if not too long, will carry 3,000 feet of radiation when used for steam. I think it would be advisable to use a 2% -inch riser in each of the houses 168 feet long.' Each house piped in this way would carry about 600 feet oi radiation. The total radiation in the pipes specified would be about 1,^00 square feet. Each lineal foot of 1-inch pipe is equal to .344 square feet of radiation. A 3%-inch riser from the boiler will be ample for the entire addition you propose. In regard to the use of check valves I will say that I have used them exten- sively but do not think they are in gen- eral use by florists. They are a good thing but cannot be depended upon to take the place of gate or globe valves. On returns they are of the utmost im- portance and should be universally used. The swing check is the only safe and re- liable form to use. L. C. C. SiLVEBDALE, Pa. — W. W. Allabough has completed a new house 28x300 and has it planted with tomatoes.

Peonies are best moved in the fall, in September or Octo- ber, the earlier the better. If carefully removed these will flower well next sea- son, although the stems may be a little shorter than they were this year. The - Crimson -Bambler can be moved late in October, but here again we think a strong young plant would give more sat- isfaction. The spiraea and lilacs could be moved on or after October 1. Care should be taken to have large holes to plant them in and that they are given good compost. Particular care in firm- ing the soil about the roots is also very necessary. If the Spiraea Van Houttei is very large it woiild hardly pay to remove it; much better purchase a young plant, as this shrub makes very rapid growth. If it is deemed wise to move the older shrub and lilacs, open a trench three to five feet away from the stems. Go down as deep as the roots penetrate, taking care not to cut or bruise these any more than can be helped. Then use a digging fork or pick and gradually loosen the soil, toward the plant to the depth the trench has been opened and saving all roots possible. If the plants are very large it wiU be difficult without some skiUed aid to secure a ball of earth and remove the plants to a new location. A crowbar placed under the bottom of tho mass of roots and given a few upward pulls will help to loosen the balls, also a gentle swaying by the stem from side to side. • W. N. Craig. wide, and the other eighty-five feet long, seven feet deep and thirty-three feet wide. All the rainwater falling on the roofs of the houses drains into these cisterns through 6-inch flows, connected to the iron gutters. Connections are also made so water can be pumped di- rectly from wells should occasion re- quire, but iihroughout the past summer there was sufficient rain to keep a good supply in the cisterns. There are many advantages in this system. It keeps an even temperature of water, will not scale in boilers and is more beneficial to plants. Two large tanks are also in- stalled for the sterilizing of fertilizers and for feeding with liquid manure under pressure. There are sixteen houses in the iiew range, 28x260 feet, almost even-span, with a slight slope to the south. Both hot water and steam are used for heat- ing the plant. Garland gutters, Evans' ventilators and Dietch's Washington red cedar used in the entire construc- tion. The range is planted with the best commercial varieties of roses and car- nations. The old range of twenty-two houses is devoted almost entirely to the growing of palms, ferns, asparagus, lilies, bulb and bedding stock. The entire cut is handled through their down-town store, in addition to the products of many other local growers. POLLVORTITS PLANT. Milwaukee is no inconsiderable cen- ter when one comes to count up the im- portant flower producing points. Indeed, there are those who consider Milwaukee the best distributing point in the coun- try for all horticultural supplies, and it is certain that glass area is rapidly on the increase there. The C. C. Pollworth Co.'s range now comprises over 200,000 square feet. The rose and carnation houses are built on modern lines and no details were overlooked in making them thoroughly up-to-date. A feature of the place is the two large cisterns, built of concrete, one being 120 feet long, seven 'feet deep and thirty feet PLANTS FOR WINTER BLOOM. [An abstract of a paper read before the Canadian Hortlcaltural Society, at Montreal, by Xbomas McHagb.] It would be useless to attempt to enumerate all the plants that coidd be grown for winter decoration, so I will simply mention those that I have found most satisfactory. Tydeeas are capital plants for fall and early winter flowering. Gesneras are also very showy and useful; their richly marked foliage contrasts admirably with the orange and scarlet flowers. We have had great success with gloxinias for win- ter blooming. A batch of two or three- year-old bulbs started in the fall will flower for months. The flowers last much longer than in summer and are perfectly free from the rust that sometimes at- tacks them in the warm weather. Gloxi- nias are one of the most satisfactory plants for table decoration. We grow them in winter in a temperature > of 60 to 65 degrees and remove them to the conservatory when they begin to flower. The first flower to i^er in the season proper is the chrysanthemum, a fitting leader to the brilliant procession. In addition to the large exhibition flowers, some of the pompons, which are again coming into favor, should . be grown. Also some of the. dwarf singles, such as Mispah, Zeno, etc. Besides makfng an effective edging to t^e taller plaints, they are very useful for room or table decora- tion. By the time the chrysanthemums are over, a host of other things w'ill be ready to take their places. Baby prim- rose grown in 5-inch pots and placed on a shelf where the flower stems can hang down, will be a mass of delicate flowers all winter. Begonia incamata is tiseful for De- cember flowering. Where there is a back wall in the conservatory the old B. nitida grown to single stem six or seven feet high, and spurred in the prun- ing like a grape vine, wiU be a sheet of bloom from December to May. All the fibrous-rooted begonias are good. Gloire de Lorraine is of course the queen of begonias at present; whether in pots, pans or baskets it is beautiful and al- ways admired. The new race of begonias sent out by Yeitch & Sons rival Lorraine in their season, which is fall and early winter. They originated from crossing B. Socotrana, with late tuberous varie- ties. The flowers are about three inches across, single and semi-double and, unlike other begonias, are very persistent, last- ing two or three weeks. Varieties I have tried and can recommend are : Win- ter Cheer, rose carmine, semi-double; Ensign, carmine, semi-double; Winter Perfection, rose pink, semi-double, and Mrs. Heal, carmine and scarlet, single, the finest of all. Poinsettias are indispensable for win- ter decoration. Plants grown to single stem in 6-inch pots will, w.xh liberal treatment, give bracts eighteen inches across and last for three or four months. Cuttings struck in August and grown four or five together in pans are much sought after for table decoration, espe- Nrwr Cot Flower Range of the C C. Pollworth Cc, Milwaukee, Wis. '■XM \ .

This I believe to be due to starvation more than anything else. We use Clay's fertilizer freely in the pot- ting soil and feed with liquid manure when the bracts are fnrming. Although the temperature frequently drops to 40 degrees on cold nights, the plants rarely lose a leaf. Cyclamen is another grand subject for winter bloom, with the culture of which you are all familiar. A poor strain of this is dear at any price, and will never give satisfaction, no matter how well it is grown. Get the best seed procurable. Calceolarias although beautiful flowers are hardly worth growing in this climate. Except they have a cool and airy posi- tion when in flower, a few hot days in spring will simply melt them. I con- sider the show pelargonium a much more valuable spring flowering plant. Amaryllis are very useful plants, easily grown and when in bloom are remarka- bly .handsome. They require but little space, for during the resting period they can be kept in any dry, cool cellar. With a few dozen of these bulbs a succession of flowers can be kept up that will add greatly to a collection of plants during ■winter and spring. The geranium as a winter flowering plant must not be forgotten. The Eng- lish round-flowered varieties are best for this purpose. Plants grown in 5-inch or Cinch pots and the flowers kept picked off during summer, will flower all win- ter. Although this is a somewhat ple- beian plant, many people enthuse more over a well-flowered geranium than they would over a costly orchid. Isolepis gracilis grown in 4-inch pots and placed a few inches apart give a very natural effect for edging the benches. Abutilon vexillarium and Vinca variegatum are also used. ADOLPHUS GUDE. When one has a yoimger brother who is president of his local club, an ex-presi- dent of the Society of American Flo- rists, and among the most popular mem- bers of that body, a modest man is not unlikely to prefer a seat in the rear of the hall when there is anything ' * doin ' ; " otherwise things might look too much like family affairs. But in the business life of Washington Adolphus Gude plays no inconspicuous part. The Gude brothers have been life-long residents at the national capital; Adolphus was bom at Knoxville, Tenn., April 20, 1863, but the family moved to Washington when he was only 7 years of age. He received his education in the public schools and business college of the city, afterward going to work for Nich- olas Studer. After he had been with Mr. Studer a short while he was joined by his brother, William F. Gude. When he had worked with the florist for eleven years, he had saved enough to purchase a patch of land near his employer's. This he cultivated, selling his flowers on Mr. Studer 's bench in Center market. In 1888 he and his brother obtained ground in Anacostia, where they erected greenhouses and continued to cultivate flowers. One year afterward they opened a modsst business at 423 Center market, under the present firm name of A. Gude & Bro. From the start the business in- creased rapidly, and in a few months the firm opened a store at 938 F street. In 1890 the brothers moved to 1112 F street, but the building was blown down one year afterward. They then leased the building at 1224 F street, where they remained until last fall, when larger quarters became necessary in order to conduct their ever-increasing business in the proper manner, and the new building which the firm had erected at 1214 F street was moved into. Progressiveness, hard and constant work have been the attributes which have brought them suc- cess. Both the Gude brothers ar3 ' ' joiners. ' ' Adolphus Gude is a member of a number of civic and fraternal organizations. In the Masons he is member of Anacostia Lodge, No. 21, of which he is a past master, and at present treasurer. He is past high priest of Washington Naval Royal Arch Chapter, No. 6, and also past high priest of Ana<;ostia Boyal Arch Chapter, No. 13, besides being an officer of the Grand Boyal Arch Chapter of the District ^f Colombia. iHe is a past commander of the De Molay Mount- ed Commandery, and also a member of Almas Temple, Mystic Shrine^ and a Scottish Bite Mason. In the Odd Fel- lows he is a member of Central Lodge, No. 1. He is past patron of Electa Chapter, No. 2, Order of the Eastern Star, and also a past grand patron of the order in {he District. For a nwn- ber of years he has been a member of the Board of Trade and of the Business Men's Association. He is treasurer and manager of the Anacostia Brick Com- pany, and a director of the German Or- phan Asylum. He is a member of the Washington Florists' Club, and a life member of the Society of American Florists. Ransfe of Plant Houses of C. C.

' ' After the regular business had been attended to our presi- dent, George Bayer, read a letter from Mr. Sullivan, of the Detroit Club, send- ing congratulations and then Gladiolus Cushman, of Sylvania, our vice-presi- dent, gave us an informal talk on dah- lias. Mr. Cushman brought a lot of cut flowers to illustrate his address, includ- ing single, pompon, cactus and show dahlias. A vase of his Sylvia was a sight worth looking at. Among others a lot of Countess of Lonsdale found many admirers. In fact, there was not a flower in the entire lot but would satisfy anybody. Mr. Cushman is a Tery interesting speaker and I know of ■one man who lit his cigar four times -during the hour and a half Mr. Cushman ■spoke and then had quite a cigar left. >Qu«stions were answered by Mr. Cush- man at the conclusion of his speech. Ceorge Bayer brought down a few asters with 30-inch stems that found a great many admirers. Nearly all the members were present but T. Magee, of Scottwood, who had to hustle to get a big wedding decoration also hustling along a new 100-foot house. E. Kuhnke started last week on a house 22x100, Moninger material, with side ventilation with pipe posts set in concrete and 18-inch glass, like those he has in all the older houses. He expects to finish up in about two weeks. Crane Bros., lettuce growers, have only added one house 42x150 feet this season to their seven acres of glass. G. W. Haebich, florist in charge at the Insane Asylum, has everything in good shape, but has been troubled very much with cut worms and grub worms in the flower beds. A. Davis, the landscape man, had the same trouble. The lawn would die off in small spots and in tak- ing up a handful of the dried grass one would uncover perhaps a half dozen fat grubs. The asylum is worth a visit from anybody.' It is built in the shape of a village, with each of the cottages con- taining about forty inmates. There are about eighty acres of lawns, ponds and flower beds, all kept in tip-top shape. The mild insane inmates do all the work at the institution under the supervision of experienced men. E. A. K.

Sylvester, Oconto, Wis., at the county fair held September 5 to 9. He had one of the most attractive displays at the fair. The four plants in the front of the exhibit are Adian- tum Croweanum, which he says grows finely in a house of mixed plants. He says he had poor success with adiantums until this one was tried. BOUVAEDIAS. A short time previous to lifting bou- vardias a spade should be put round the plants to cut the roots, and thus minimize the check the plants will re- ceive when they are lifted. It is not advisable to leave them out after this date, without they have been planted out in a box frame. If they are very large, a neat stake to which to secure a few of the shoots and keep the plant in position will be necessary. They may be returned to the frame in which they have been growing, or be put in another pit. Shade from the sun. Sy- ringe nightly, and give but little air for a few days, especially if strong winds prevail. Others that have been grow- ing in pots, which is far the best method, may be taken under glass; and, if early bloom is required, they may at once be given a warmer temperature, and supplied with liquid manure. For small vases and for button-holes these are very useful;— Gardeners ' Magazine. Lincoln, Neb.— Chapin Bros, lost about 5,000 lights of glass by hail on September 15.

New York. — Whenever the price of American window glass reaches a cer- tain figure there is at once an increase in the importations of Belgian window glass. The last boat from Antwerp had on board 146,538 boxes of window glass, and as the window glass industry there is only beginning to recover from the de- pression of recent years, it may be said that all the requirements of American greenhouse owners can be met at reason- able prices next spring, if not by the American manufacturers, then by the jobbers in Belgian glass. done in time. But the club will get even with him, as he is elected to give a lecture in the near future on how to raise greenhouse cats. Various Notes. J. H. Siegrist is beginning to feel a little easier on that lame foot, which he got by being thrown from his wagon about six weeks ago, and he comes to every meeting anyway. John Gratopp put in a gasoline engine to pump water in case the mill gives trouble. He is starting to cut a great many carnations of good quality, but as yet with short stems. John Barrow has finished two new houses eighty feet long for carnations. In company with Mrs. Barrow, he made a trip to New York last week on some Odd Fellow "doings."

September has averaged warmer than normal, and the result has been that during most of the month stock has been in somewhat heavier supply than it otherwise would have been, and the gen- eral impression seems to be that prices have averaged lower than through Sep- tember in recent years. However, trade is now quite active, and, with a shorter supply this week, receipts are well cleaned up, with tendencies toward stiffer prices. This week has seen the first of the fall openings, which annu- ally call for a large amount of stock and mark the real beginning of the au- tumn season. These have called for not only considerable quantities of cut flow- ers, but several thousand strings of as- paragus and smilax, which the market had no diflSculty in supplying. The call for Beauties has exceeded the supply and prices have advanced. Many growers, however, report that a new and heavy crop will be on within a week and adequate supplies of improved quality are anticipated, with a probability of a return to the prices prevailing earlier in the month. "With warm days and cool nights, some of the careless growers have mildew, but in general, tea roses of excel- lent quality may be had for all require- ments. There is still plenty of short stock for funeral purposes, but not the glut of last week. Excellent Richmond are qow seen and a few good La De- troit. Killarney is still short of stem, but very well liked. Receipts of carnations continue quite large and some of the stock now shows very fair stem. Enchantress brings the top price. The short stock is hard to move, as there are still enough asters to supply the demand for cheap stuff for funeral purposes. A few chrysanthemums are now to bo had daily. Some first-class yellows have been in the market this week and have sold for $4 per dozen. It will not be long before all requirements can be met as to color, quality and price, although in general the mums are about a week later than the growers thought they would be. Outdoor lilies are gone, but there are a few Harrisii, on which prices have ad- vanced. There are daily receipts of vio- lets of fair quality. Last week the east- ern violets were in bad condition, due to the hot weather. Gladioli are no longer received in large quantity and the pres- sure of outdoor stock is each day having less effect on the prices of staple items. Ne'wspapers. The wholesale florists use old news- papers for lining cut flower boxes and for wrapping in severe weather. The quantities required for these pur- poses are something surprising, very many tons being used each year. Weiland & Risch bought three tons of Sunday papers the other day, and it was not an unusual purchase. The Chicago daily papers are not return- able, but the Sunday papers are, and many thousands of copies accumulate on the publishers' hands. These are sold to dealers in paper stock and they in turn supply the florists at $16 per ton. The wholesalers do not believe in yellow jour- nalism. They say the red, blue, green and other kinds of ink come off. Variotis Notes. There was another meeting of mem- bers of the executive committee of the Horticultural Society and a few others Tuesday afternoon at the office of the Benthey-Coatsworth Co. Flower show arrangements were furthered. Every- thing indicates a first-class show. F. F. Benthey returned Monday night from a visit to the firm's plant at New Castle. He was well pleased with the condition of stock there, particularly with Richmond and Killarney roses. C. W. McKellar has a new specialty, cotton on long stems, just as it grows in the south. Henry Seger, at Washington Heights, has a field of 6,000 aster plants, from which he has sent to the E. F. Winterson Co. 50,650 first-class flowers. John Muno, at Rogers Park, had six houses of Beauties which are in splendid shape and just coming into fine crop. He is growing no tea roses this year, the balance of his place being in carna- tions, thirteen houses of them. Miss Lillian Tonner, who was for years with E. H. Hunt, has leased space in the Flower Growers' Market and is preparing to start a supply business there. She has partitioned off sufficient space for her purpose and is now receiv- ing goods. Miss Tonner is well known to the trade and should do well in her new venture. Jacob Phillip, Sr., who is one of the old-time vegetable growers at Rogers Park, this spring put up eight new 150- ' '•••>* ■ 1044 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Septemueu 28, 1005. foot- houses and with two older houses plfcnted them all to carnations. He has over 40,000 plants and, although the stock was planted late, it is coining along in fine shape. The cut will go to the Holton & Hunkel Co., at Milwaukee. The Milwaukee market is securing a consid- erable part of the Rogers Park cut this year. Ziska has bought out the wire-work firm which was located in the Growers' Market. The Florists' Club will meet tonight. The principal order of business is the nomination of new officers and the dis- cussion of various plans for club activity this winter. Everyone seems to favor the change to one meeting a month. Music and refreshments are on the pro- gram for tonight. The Geo. M. Garland Co. has contracts for 15,000 feet of iron gutters for early spring delivery. From contracts already closed and from inquiries received, Mr. Garland says the indications are that there will be more building by the large growers the coming season than ever be- fore. There will be much rebuilding, besides a number of new ranges. Both J. A. Budlong and Peter Eeinberg have announced that they will rebuild all their houses not now equipped with iron gut- ters. This spring the south park commis- sioners raised a storm of protest by opening the parks to athletic contests on Sunday, and now they have brought upon themselves another deluge of protests through the announcement in the daily papers that they are about to erect iron fences entirely around Washington and Jackson parks. Frank S. Howard, head gardener for Mrs. Geo. M. Pullman, is laid up with an attack of rheumatism. E. C. Amling is receiving some very fine Monrovia chrysanthemums. Friedman had the decoration at Car- son Pirie's this week. He used 500 strings of asparagus and considerable quantities of cut flowers. Next week there will be several other important de- partment store decorations. Kennicott Bros. Co. have built a new ice-box for ferns and galax. They had the first yellow mums on September 23, very good in quality. C. L. Washburn has been figuring on the amount of new glass producing for this market this season. He estimates the increase at something over a million square feet, four of the local establish- ments providing over half a million feet. Vaughan & Sperry have advices to the eflFect that beginning October 1 they will have large receipts of violets from the same growers who sent them so many first-class sweet peas this spring. Mary Lewis, formerly with F. C. Smith, at Ashland, Wis., is now in Bas- set & Washburn 's city office. Poehlmann Bros. Co. have repainted and redecorated the city salesroom this week, to have it in the best of shape for the season's rush. L. Koropp, of the Sheridan Park Floral Co., used several wagon-loads of palms and ferns and a considerable quan- tity of asparagus in a Siegel Cooper dec- oration on Tuesday.

PHILADELPHIA. The Market The tone of business has slightly im- proved, the receipts continuing larger as the season advances, while the demand improves though not suflBciently to create much life. Showier outdoor flowers con- tinue most popular, dahlias leading. The first chrysanthemums have made their appearance, but are not as yet suffi- ciently plentiful to become a factor. Vio- lets are also coming into town, chiefly single varieties, but as yet there is not much demand. The department store decorations described last week have been continued this week in other de- partments of the same stores, using quantities of outdoor material. Wild smilax has also been used freely. Asters are declining, purple being almost out of market. Fortunately carnations are becoming much more plentiful; though still short of stem, they are of better quality. There are few good orchids and some gardenias, while lily of the valley is rather scarce. The Liberty Rose. H. B. Howard, when in this city last month, spoke with Wm. J. Muth of the fame of the Liberty roses grown near Philadelphia, saying that they were known and appreciated in the west. The cut this season promises to equal, if not excel, that of last year. Leav- ing out of consideration A. Farenwald, the pioneer Liberty grower, as his cut will probably go to New York, John Burton has a number of houses planted with Liberty which those who have seen them tell me are finer than ever before. Edward Towill will send S. S. Pennock Liberties from his whole short-span range, besides from two or three other houses. Joseph Beavis & Son will send the Leo Niessen Co. Liberties irom two large houses, while J. Stevenson, of Oak Lane, will send the same company Liberties from nearly his entire place. Alfred Burton will send the Flower Mar- ket Liberties from one-third of his new place just completed. Robert Scott & Son will send to E. Reid and S. S. Pennock Liberties from" several houses. Joseph Heacock, John C. Andrea, Myers & Samtman, F. & H. Mergenthaler and other growers have more or less of this great rose, which seems to assure a plen- tiful supply during the coming season.

Smith expects to build a store and show house in front of his green- house establishment at Sixty-first and Market streets. Mr. Smith finds the re- tail business in West Philadelphia is rapidly increasing. Dumont & Co. have completed im- provements in their wholesale commis- sion house. • New counters conveniently arranged, new Welsbach lights, very powerful, and a new ice-box 12x12x10 feet, ingeniously arranged with a movable partition, windows admitting outside air, an economy in winter, a double entrance and two-ton ice capac- ity, are among the advantages. Hugh Graham decorated the exposi- tion haU in West Philadelphia on Mon- day for the Street Railway Convention. Charles Leisy has 10,000 carnation plants benched at his new place at We- nonah, N. J. Mr. Leisy is manager for Stephen Green. He is a grower of abil- ity and considered quite an acquisition of the Flower Market growers. Herbert Steinmetz has joined the forces of J. J. Haberm^l's Sons at the Bellevue-Stratford. Berger Bros, are receiving nice flowers' of the new rose, Bichmond, from the United States Cut Flower Co., at Elmira, N. Y. John Berger speaks highly of this rose. The quality of dahlias from Atco, N. J., is improving. Some of the finest sorts can now be had in quantity. Joseph Callahan is now with Frank L. Polites in the Haseltine building. Visitors to the Whilldin Pottery Com- pany's office on Wharton street who are fahown the inner sanctum will find there a very clever picture of Bardolph and Falstaff, the characters being imper- sonated by W. K Harris and the late fturt Eddy. Next to this picture is an- "ther taken at Ventnor, N. J., in 1893, ^vhen the convention was held at Atlantic ^-ity. On the other side is a photograph which Mr. Whilldin will show you with pardonable pride. B. Eschner, of M. Bice & Co., has re- turned from a very' successful western flip. The H. F. Michell Co. reports an unusually heavy demand for tulips and choice narcissi, one mail order running as high as 50,000 of the former. Paul Berkowitz, of Bayersdorfer & Co., returned a week ago from his west- ern trip. He was cordially received everywhere and was more than pleased with the results. Johnson & Stokes have decorated their seed store with some fine plants from the Moorestown nurseries, including Ficus elastica, sago palms and Boston ferns. The Ideal Salesman. The Review realizes that the position of a cut flower and plant salesman is one of importance to the grower, to the wholesaler, to the retailer and to the consumer. The Review believes that a high standard among the salesmen will do much to promote the interests of all those who buy or sell cut flowers or plants, and to promote harmony among them. The Review therefore proposes a prize essay competition similar to that held by the S. A. F. under the follow- ing conditions: The snbject of the essay shall be "The Ideal Salesman." Each competitor shall mall his essay, un- signed, on or before September 30, 1905, to Phil, care of any of the wholesale cut flower honses in this city.

I will not tire you with a list of the roses that David and Jonathan saw in the houses of the Conard & Jones Co. There were gold medal winners from Lambert, unknown but by no means unpromising.; debutantes from Cook, old favorites of international fame, like Marechal Niel, and of local fame, like Magnafrano. All classes, all ages were there. Antoine Wintzer described them in a way that proved he "had it all there," as Mr. Conard humorously re- marked. Mr. Wintzer was propagating; they are nearly always propagating at Conard & Jones Co.'s. They don't wait for January I or for bottom heat. They don't insist on boarding up their bench or in the virtue of shading cloth of a certain thickness. Mr. Wintzer does not, in fact, believe in any "circus," as he naively expresses it. But then, neither would you nor I were we in class A, section 1, as propagators. As long as the thermometer shows 60 degrees there is no heat used. The rose cut- tings are put in clean white sand — rotten rock — in the side bench of an ordinary rose house, with a light lime wash on the glass above, and they root in September and grow like weeds. Jon- athan showed deep interest in the prop- agating arrangements. Chairs were placed at a deal table where the prop- agators worked. "Why make a job harder than need bet" Mr. Wintzer asked. Jonathan confessed to a prefer- ence for the back-number way of stand- ing up at the bench, and hinted at a fear of drowsiness on a warm after- noon, a suggestion that was treated with the scorn it deserved. The cannas alone were worth the whole trip ten times over. David and Jonathan agreed on that. There were about 50,000 of them, of some fifty vari- eties of recognized merit, besides any number of seedlings and hybrids on trial. Canna lilies they are well called here. First came a lot of varieties of Mr. Wintzer 's own production, leaders in their classes; then a great triple row of Mont Blanc, dwarf white; Gladiator, medium yellow spotted, and Louisiana, tall scarlet, stretching away down the slope for 600 feet or more, each variety in full bloom. Then followed sort after sort of rare merit, including many still under number. Great progress has been made in the whites, as shown in Mont Blanc and in its seedlings, and in the pinks. A point of interest is that Maiden Blush, one of the softest shades of the latter color, a seedling of Mr. Wint- zer's, of ten years ago, has not since been improved or even equaled. The greatest advance now is in the orchid- flowering class of canna lilies of the second generation, the pollen of the for- mer class being used on the class with more substantial flowers. The improve- ment is remarkable in every respect. When comparing Austria, Italia and Alemannia with Louisiana, the former varieties are simply not in it. David took a deep interest in Califor- nia, a variety that had been condemned by a warm personal friend. David's 1046 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Septembeb 28, 1005. Killarney and Richmond Wc grow these two superb new varieties in large quantities and are now ready to offer a fine cut of them. KILLARNEY is in a class by itself, a rose that sells on sight. RICHIVIOND can^t be beat as a red rose — frag- rance, color and keeping quality are right there. Our Brides, Maids, Liberties, Beauties, etc., are now in fine shape.

L. Grant. I might write for hours of Mr, "Wint- zer's instructive talk of what he showed David and Jonathan. Suffice it to say that the latter left convinced that for simple, every-day bedding, Brandywine, scarlet, bronze foliage, and Buttercup, yellow, green foliage, are hard to beat. The former is medium, the latter dwarf. Phil. (To be continued.) ST. LOUIS. The Market The temperature the past week acted something like the business, one day up in the nineties, the next day near the frost line. Business is improving, but only in a small way. Local demand is for the better quality of stock. The cooler weather has also encouraged the retailers to carry much larger stocks than for some months back. The call for light-colored material was quite lively the past week and the mar- ket was cleaned up pretty well, except in roses, of which there are more than the demand calls for. Brides and Maids are small and more or less mildewed. In red roses Meteor is good. First quality Beauties sell readily, but are scarce. Plenty of short and medium are to be had. Carnations are improving every day. Good white sell well, also Lawson and Enchantress. The latter variety will be grown this season in large quantities by our local growers. Very little out- door stock is coming in. Cosmos is slow in making its appearance this season. Some very fine dahlias are to be had, also single tuberoses. More chrysanthe- mums are expected next week. All "greens" are plentiful. Various Notes. E. J. Fancourt, representing Pennock, of Philadelphia, has been in town selling ribbons. E. W. Guy, A. G. Fehr and Henry Emunds, of Belleville, who were over the past week, report trade fairly good with them in the cut flower line. Beyer Bros, have received their im- portation of bulbs and are busy potting some 20,000 for the holiday trade. Fred Weber, Jr., has returned from his eastern trip. The store has just re- ceived a fine lot of palms for the fall trade. The large conservatory is very attractive. . Henry Felter, on Lexington avenue, will have a fine lot of pot chrysanthe- mums for the local trade. George Windier is in great shape for the fall trade, having several hundred extra fine chrysanthemum plants. George Waldbart has imported a fine stock of arecas, k(ntias and other deco- rative stock. The past week he was showing as a novelty, night blooming cereus, which attracted a great deal of attention. Mrs. M. M. Ayers has her big show house full of extra fine decorative plants. She reports trade very good. The Ellison Floral Co. had several large funeral designs the past week for Banker Parson's funeral. C. A. Kuehn has been handling some auperb dahlias, also a fine lot of Rich- mond rose and the first white chrysanthe- mums this season. Frank M. Ellis is handling a fine lot of Carnot and Kaiserin roses from Miss Belle Miller, of Springfield, also extra fine valley from A. Berdan. George Angermueller is receiving a fine lot of first-class roses and a big lot of good outdoor stock. Henry Berning received the first con- signment of California violets. Extra good carnations were also seen at his place. Theo. Miller's show house is very at- tractive, with a fine lot of palms and other decorative stock. Mr. Miller also has a big trade in fall bulbs. Mr. Giger, of New London, Conn., has taken a position with Grim & Gorley as design maker. Mr. Gorley reports that they have given up their down-town branch on Olive street. The committee in charge of the flower show held a meeting last week to dispose of some of the details connected with the exhibition. The meeting was attended by ail the members, and Messrs. Weber^ Guy, Miller and Meinhardt say that this exhibition will be the best the St. Louis club has ever held. The program will soon be in the hands of the printer. The club members to a man are pulling hard for its success since the report and statement of Chairman Weber at the last club meeting. The committee of the Florists' Club to stop ' ' crape pulling, ' ' which is com- posed of J. F. Windt, Carl Beyer and F. J. Fillmore, held a meeting the past week. This committee is doing good work. Bowling. Carl Beyer was on last Monday elected captain of the team which represent* the club in the Palace league. A. Y. Ellison was elected representative of the club to the league meetings. The club has seven members, Carl Beyer, C. A, Kuehn, Robert Meinhardt, A. Y. Ellison^ J. J. Beneke, Theo. Miller and H. Lohr- enz. This team rolled its first match last week, pitted against the champion Hyde Parks, and made a good showing^ losing the odd game. Capt.

It would seem to be the opinion of the craft that the season just closing has been about a fair average one, a great deal better than the past two years and yet disappointing in view of what it bid fair to be at its opening in July, which was very active indeed. An extra good season here always means a goodly number of the largest entertainments, that use up immense quantities of stock and run into the thousands of dollars, but the functions for the most part have been small as regards the floral decora- tions, although there have really been a great number of them.

While from the peony season to the last of the dahlias all flowers are liked and employed in every sort of a function by the society folk, there are three that Newport can never get enough of, namely, American Beauty roses, orchids and gardenias. As regards retail prices, this summer they have been well main- tained and among the Bellevue avenue florists have run about as follows: Best long Beauties, $6 a dozen; good cat- tleyas, $1.50 each, and gardenias $5 to $6 a dozen; gladioli, $1 a dozen; carna- tions, $1 to $1.50 a dozen; lily of the valley, $2 to $3 a bunch of twenty-five; sweet peas, 50 cents a hundred. Horticoltttral Society. Our society has met regularly every other week all summer, and the attend- ance has been larger than ever before and is constantly increasing. Several very interesting and instructive lectures have been given before the society, no- tably a talk on sweet corn the evening of August 2, which was opened by Wil- liam C. Elliott, and a lecture August 16, fully illustrated by charts, on the gypsy and brown tail moths, also San Jose scale, by George T. Powell, bringing out the largest gathering of the year. Of course the annual autumn exhibi- tion, held September 11 to 13, was the great feature of the season. For the first time in some years this show was held in the famous casino and, as was expected, there was a large attendance of society folk. The dahlia is one of Newport's crazes and this part of the show was the largest ever held here. Spe- cial prizes were awarded for the best twenty-five blooms each of the four most desirable solid colors, any type. Among whites, Winsome was considered by far the best. The flowers are large and the strong stems hold the blooms absolutely erect, face upward. It is certainly the finest pure white cactus dahlia in sight at the present time. For the best red flower in the show the judges gave the award to Katherine Duer. It is a grand color, a living red, and nothing as yet has been able to displace it as a decorative sort. The beautiful delicate pink Kriem- hilde distanced everything of its color. It is certainly a magnificent variety and has established itself as a favorite here, although of such recent introduction. The old standard, Mrs. Charles Turner, again this season held first place among yellows. Some day this fine cactus variety will no doubt be superseded, but it will be a good flower that takes its place. It is worthy of note that while these prizes are open to any type of dahlia, in three cases out of four the award went to a cactus variety, showing clearly the popularity of the pointed petaled type at the present time. The dinner-table decoration prizes were, one for the best centerpiece of dahlias, the other for the best centerpiece of outdoor flowers, exclusive of roses and dahlias. There were fifteen entries in the two classes. Gibson Bros, took first prize for the best centerpiece of dahlias, with a beautiful mound of Kriemhilde, with Adiantum cuneatum for foliage. The second prize in this class went to the Bjiihesea Greenhouses, John Mar- shallj manager, for an elegant combina- tion of Volker dahlias and Adiantum Farleyense. In the class where dahlias and roses were not to be used, Colin Robertson, gardener to Mrs. Goelet, with a most tasty arrangement of Anemone Japonica alba, secured first prize. Sec- ond prize went to Alexander McLellan, gardener to Mrs. Clark, for a round basket piece of nasturtiums so tastefully arranged with its own foliage that its very simplicity made it a winner. These dinner-table decoration classes were not judged by the regular committee of the society, but by three society women. This custom has resulted in the greatest good to all concerned. There were many other noteworthy ex- hibits. A new variety of saxifraga, un- ier the name of S. sarmentosa tricolor superba, from the conservatories of H. H. JRogers, Fairhaven, attracted much at- tention. The leaves of this new alpine plant are handsomely marked with creamy white, yellow and red variega- tions. James Garthley, the head gar- dener, always has something very choice on hand in show plants. Our society awarded him for this plant a silver medal. The splendid collection of aquatics from H. A. Dreer, Philadelphia, was per- haps the most striking exhibit in the show. Several special awards were naade to it, including a silver medal to t^ superb new pink, Nymphsea Bissetii. Newport's CarnivaL Newport has been having an "old home week." Perhaps the greatest fea- ture of all the many attractions was the carnival parade. Of a score of most elaborate floats, the entry of the New- port Horticultural Society was one of 1048 The Weekly Florists' ftevie^. Bbptembeb 28, 1903.

WerrHea The RcTJeV when you write. the best. On a large dray drawn by six horses was a email conservatory sur- rounded by all the lawn that the truck would permit. The greenhouse was filled with bright crotons and surrounded by a veritable flower garden. The letters N. H. S. in small plants were prominent in the lawn. A large bay tree was placed at each corner of the float. Electric lights were employed. Great masses of salvias, hydrangeas and other outdoor flowers decorated every part, including the horses, and the attendants in white at the horses' heads added a finish to a most artistic carnival decoration. Too much praise cannot be given to the spe- cial committee, consisting of James .1. Sullivan, David Mcintosh, Alexander Mc- Lellan, Bruce Butterton, James McLeish and Joseph Gibson, whose hard work Ac- complished puch splendid results. This display has boomed our society greatly here. Zeboc BOSTON. The Market. Clearer weather conditions following a spell of dark, damp weather seem to have braced up the market. Certainly the outlook is now quitfe encouraging for good fall trade. Soses improve in qual- ity and are selling a little ' higher all around. Carnations are not yet suffi- cient for the demand, although the sup- ply is steadily increasing. The best stock has brought up to $3 and $4 per hun- dred. A few single violets come in from a number of growers, but are not yet in much request. Fitzwygram is the only chrysanthemum seen. The supply of salable outdoor flowers is steadily diminishing. Asters are poorer and gladioli quite scarce. Some Japanese anemones are seen. These should be grown more commercially. They are very useful at a rather dull season. There is nothing new in the market and no special change in any other flowers or green stock. Club Meetiii£. In our last we made short reference to the meeting held September 18. An at- tendance of close to 100 on a damp night was encouraging and the addition of fifty-three new members even more so. This makes exactly 100 new members added during the present year. While the discussion over the proposed S. A. F. show brought out a divergence of opinion in regard to the advisability of its being held in Boston next spring, it was not occasioned by any antagonism to the S. A. F., but rather to the ap- parent fact that the show business seemed likely to be overdone so far as Boston was concerned in the first quarter of 1906. The attendance of prominent S. A. F. officials hoped for next month may, however, clear the air and make smoother sailing. Boston gave the S. A. F. the only real show it ever had, in 1890, and is ready to do so again, given ample notice. The North Shore Horticultural So- ciety, of Manchester, will attend the meeting of the club on October 17, a motion to extend an invitation being unanimously carried. Joseph Clark, of Manchester, was elected an honorary member. Mr. Clark recently retired from charge of the gardens of Mrs. H. L. Higginson, where he had been for many years. His garden was a most unique one, the collection of hardy plants, many alpines included, being very extensive. Mr. Clark is one of the most respected members of the craft in Massachusetts and the club made no mis- take in honoring him. The invitation to visit the Waban Conservatories will afford the club an opportunity to see Mr. Montgomery's splendid village of rose houses next month. The exhibits were quite interesting. Julius Heurlin had a fine collection of hardy asters and received a report of merit for A. amellus var. Blue Hills. Robert Cameron received a similar award for well known Nerine Fothergilli ma- jor. Among those who made remarks on the proposed S. A. F. show were W. H. Elliott, J. K. M. L. Farquhar, K. Fin- layson, M. A. Patten, Peter Fisher, 6. M. Anderson and W. N. Craig. Indica- tions now point to a considerable addi- tion of new members on October 17 and the membership ere January 1, 1906, will undoubtedly reach 250. Variofii Notes. Extra fine Beauty and Wellesley roses are seen at the stores, coming from Wa- ban Conservatories. Quite a number of seasonable orchids are at present used in the high class stores, Oncidium Eogersii, Vanda coeru- lea and Cattleya labiata being mostly seen. The school gardens committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society had no less than 200 entries of home gar- dens this year. The good work being done by this committee would seem to merit an increased appropriation for next season's work. David Smith, of Stranraer, Scotland, is making his annual visit among gar- deners and florists in this section, selhng hardy roses, fruit trees and other nur- sery stock. In our report of the fall show in the last issue oi the Eeview we somehow wrote that Gloriosa superba was the glory pea of Australia. We were think- ing of Clianthus Dampieri and somehow got the two confused. Gloriosa superba is a tropical plant, sometimes called the climbing lUy. The berried shrubs in the arboretum and parkways at present are very attrac- tive. The tints on the forest trees and shrubs are also very fine. Local bulb dealers report demand as very good, but a killing frost is needed to make business really brisk. Carnation Helen Goddard with S. J. Goddard is looking fine at present. Mr. Goddard reports many visitors to see it and a lot of orders on hand for stock. J. T. Butterworth is cutting some fine Cattleya labiata and other seasonable orchids. W. N. Craig. BUFFALO. Ctirrent CotnmeaU Nothing of note has happened in my rather long silence except a month's ideal weather. September is usually,, with us, a glorious month. A few cold nights to remind us to be careful but we also had a few tropical days, when it stood 86 degrees in the shade at 2 p. m., but a month of fruit, flowers and sun- shine. From several causes there has been an awakening of business. Last week four of our largest department stores held their fall openings. As two of the estab- lishments have cut flower and plant de- partments, they, of course, managed their own decorations, renting the palms and other stuff where they could do best. S. A.

VAUGH AN & SPERRY 56-60 Wabash Ave., CHlCA^iGiO. o did the other two and the coming week will see a lot more in this line. We have not heard of any society events call- ing for much of the floral art or ma- terial. The gladiolus and aster have been the staple flowers for weeks and the sight of them is getting tiresome. Asters are getting to be poor, scrubby things and people are looking for the old favorites, roses and carnations. Enchantress, Lady Bountiful and Boston Market can be had in fair quantity and excellent quality. As usual, Charlie Guenther is sending very fine Bridesmaid and Bride. Large quantities of American Beauties are daily received by Wm. F. Kasting and all seem to go. It is only the truth to say that "Billy" Palmer buys more and sells. more of this queen of roses than all the florists of Erie county put together. Get your reputation built for always having a fine stock of some most de- sirable article and there is no limit to what you can do. We hear that two of our number are hosing around for ward honors in our city government. S. A. Anderson is looking for the nomination for super- visor of the Twenty-fourth ward, the most popular and wealthy in the city, and W. A. Adams is looking for a sim- ilar job in his ward, I think the Twenty- second. Let them go it. I can only say they are both immensely ahead in intel- ligence of the average city supervisor. Most city supervisors are keepers of lager beer saloons. If not that, the re- mainder are worse. For worse they call' them "real estate and insurance," so I trust our brother florists will be elected, to help along pure and economical gov- ernment, but if Andy Adams should be- come a supervisor and any one from a school janitor to an alderman should turn up their toes, you can bet Andy will be on hand without any false modesty. I spent 15 cents in car fare Sunday afternoon, the first time in weeks I had ventured from home. First I went over to Delaware avenue to see "Aleck" Scott and his neat place. He does not pretend to grow a great variety, only what the houses are suitable for. It is a cemetery trade, cut flowers and vase- filling in May. Just now the two princi- pal houses are filled with mums, looking very good. Kalb, the good-growing, early white, will be fit to cut in a week. What pleasant associations these chrys- anthemums do recall and we welcome the early varieties with gladness. Our next stop was out on Summer street to see Joe Streidel, who manages the old Katoll place for Mr. Anderson. We have realized for several years that Joseph was a high-class gardener and greenhouse man, but never more so than now. Here, too, the area of glass is too limited to grow a great variety and specialties are handled for Mr. Ander- son's fine store, poinsettias in every size and shape, a fine bench of cyclamens, ficus and araucarias, but Joseph's pride is his Begonia Lorraine. Not in my travels anywhere have I seen their size and health excelled. He has his 2,000 little plants for next year already potted from the sand. He does not think he lost a cutting, but he has a method of his own. Then we strolled up to see L. H. Neu- beck, corner Main and High. Here is a different place, for "Louie" has a fine retail business and it is all done there. There is no attempt to grow cut flowers, except bulbs, but the place is kept most attractive with ferns and palms, the most popular plants. He has a great corner and most substantial and elegant houses and no one knows better how to look after a good business. And then we climbed aboard a troUey ear and were as weary and glad to land at our door as the migratory bird who has sailed a thousand miles north to his last year's favorite meadow or orchard. I may get back my old strength some day, but it's a long time in coming. W. S. NEW YOHK. The Market. With "a cold and nipping air," clear skies and brilliantly lit and artistically decorated retail windows, one walking up Broadway and Fifth avenue on Monday evening of this week could easily imagine that the clouds had lifted from the mar- ket and "the good time coming" had actually arrived. Everything felt and looked like a busy winter evening, and re- ■ tailers were as busy as- they could expect.' to be before October. Stores are open ^ later again, wholesalers have lengthened ' their hours materially, and stock of all kinds, except the outdoor prodttct, is rapidly improving. Everybody seiems ex-, pectant and hopeful of a splendid season.' It is in the air, but on Tuesday ' and • Wednesday depression was again felt in' the wholesale district. Dahlias are abundant. Peacock is sending to the New York market daily, some of the finest blooms ever seen here.' The common stock is unpopular and can hardly be disposed of at any price. Asters are in the "sere and yellow leaf." Thic week evidently will about see the end of them. Gladioli evidently are without end. There is no let-up to the flood. It is hard, sometimes, to move them at any price. Retail windows illustrate the popularity and increased shipments of the orchid. Prices hold well and the demand from other cities grows constantly. Fine valley was selling for $3 per hundred the first of the week and grand lilies are again abundant. Wild smilax is in demand and from now on the daily shipments from the south may be de- pended upon. The quality is excellent. Kreshover was shipping a good many boxes out of the city Monday. Chrysanthemums are here. For two weeks Dailledouze Bros, have been send- ing in the big pink, Montmort, and a Broadway florist has found a quick mar- ket for all of them. In another week or two they wiU be in every window. American Beauties are improving in size and quality, and plenty for the de- mand are arriving daily. Thirty-four boxes of them reached the Cut Flower Co. Monday morning. The "Beauty king" was in his glory. Mr. Pierson was down from Scarboro to see how his pets were appreciated. The best brought $25 per hundred easily. Violets are everywhere, better in color, but too small by half and too abundant for the demand. The top price for the best of them was 50 cents. The cold snap is helping their sale and if they can be kept out of the clutches of the street merchants all will yet be well and the ferir of a retrograde movement dispelled. # Jn^A- 1050 The Weekly Rorists^ Review* Skptembru 28, 1903, €^ h K V QA nth 1^ m 1 1 m Q * commencing October 7 will have fancy Mums at $3.00 and $4.00 per doz. ni^C^pc^ 9 Maids, Brides, Liberties, ■CVF^L^3 • Riclimond, Uncle Jolm. i^^mm%SM4m^w%^ • THE BEST IN CHICAGO.

It would be a calamity for the whole market to find violets selling at $1 a thousand. Various Notes. Patrick O'Mara is back from his summer outing in the west, a picture of health and filled to the brim with memo- ries of his experiences in Portland, California and the Yellowstone. The Florists' Club may anticipate a rare treat at its next meeting, October 9, when Mr, O'Mara tells the story of his ' * wild and woolly ' ' travels. The new wholesale store of Thos. Young, Jr., is complete and very hand- some, with an abundance of room and elegant private ofiKces in the rear. A grand floral piece, the work of Sam- uel Gomperts, went over to Brooklyn on Monday evening, a gift from the artist to Senator Reynolds on the occasion of the opening of the new Montauk theater. It was an enormous floral punch-bowl on a standard three feet in circumference, in pink and white roses with handsome French dolls surrounding the bowl, some fifteen feet around it. An enormous vase of American Beauties ten feet high ac- companied the emblem. Bowe hobnobbed with one of the Wall street kings, John W. Gates, on Sunday evening at the Waldorf on the occasion of Mrs, Gates' birthday. Fifty sprays of oncidium and 200 cattleyas were used in the table decoration. You can imag- ine the cost, but Mr. Gates thinks noth- ing of twisting the Wall street tiger's tail for a $10,000 turn any day, so "what's the diflf?" No wonder the leading retail florists of New York de- liver the goods in their own automobiles. This city is growing fast and million- aires are everywhere. We pass them every hour and we cannot tell them from the wholesale florists. Dr. Britton and wife, who have been away from the city and in Bermuda for several weeks, return to the Botanical Gardens this week and the head gard- ener, Mr, Nash, is back from Hayti with trophies of his floricultural investiga- tions. The auction season opened auspi- ciously last week and looks very prom- ising, judging by the crowds in at- tendance and the excellent prices real- ized. Mr. Bonnot, of the Cut Flower Ex- change, says everything indicates a great year on his floor and the carnation growers grow in numbers every day. G, C, Schrader, of Elmhurst, L, I,, met with a severe accident Saturday, While on his way to the great auto race in his own automobile, a gasoline explo- sion wrecked his machine and badly burned and blistered his face, but fortu- nately his eyes were saved. The Johnston Heating Co., of Jersey City, report an encouraging and rapidly increasing business. They are supplying the heating for the Exotic Nursery at Secaucus, N. J., the Kellogg green- houses at Astoria and the Hinode Flo- rist Co., at Whitestone, L, I. Eeed & Keller say that it is still Christmas with them and they cannot catch up to the demand for their novel- ties, Owen McDonald, on Madison avenue, is bankrupt, liabilities over $6,000 and as- sets about $500, The principal creditors are the Federal bank and Schultheis, A new retail store has been opened at the corner of Fifty-seventh street and Lexington avenue, to be known as Jacque's, Inc. It is capitalized at $10,- 000 and it is said Henry Siegel, formerly of Chicago, is interested in the venture, A, L, Young & Co, are receiving some fine carnations. Enchantress and White Lawson from Messrs. Hengstenberg and Alfred Funke, of Hempstead, L, I,, and roses from Mr, Dickhut, of Chatham, N, J, The new ice-box, lately installed by James McManus, evidently is none too early and none too large for the orchid supply he keeps on hand for his growing clientele. The supply of white orchid is equal to any demand and the call for them comes from every direction. A great shipping trade this winter is antici- pated, Mr. McManus has made his place evidently the "headquarters for orchids in America," The engagement is announced of Al- fred Futterman, of Gunther's staff, to Miss Gussie Miller, of New York. C, W. Ward and family are visiting in California and will not return before November, The Institute Show. Last Wednesday and Thursday the American Institute's seventy-fourth fall exhibition took place at the Berkeley Lyceum. It was a great success. The attendance was large and the exhibits superb. Dahlias were most in evidence, though there was also an abundance of fruit and flowers and decorative plants. A vase of "Victory was staged by Gutt- man & Weber and greatly admired. Quantities of this superb novelty now reach the New York market daily. J. T. Lovett's exhibit carried off several first prizes, Mr. Lovett's son and general manager was in charge of the exhibit.

The weather is favorable and harvesting is progressing in good shape. The Texas Seed and Floral Co., Dal- las, Texas, will erect a four-story brick building at 311 and 313 Pacific avenue, to cost $14,465. Good weather is reported from Ne- braska, with the added information that it is aiding the vine seed and sweet corn crops very much. SevekaIj California shipments have been received at Chicago the past week. The invoices cover onion seed, sweet peas, celery, etc. The samples look good. A SHORT crop of onions and a short crop of onion seed is a combination of circumstances that ought to satisfy the seedsmen who have been carrying too much onion seed. A REPORT from Washington Island, Wis., says the potato crop is going to turn out a poor one, possibly one-third of a crop or less, caused by a disease in the tubers, a good many rotting in the ground. The shortage of the pea crop is be- coming well understood. Every delivery from the regular growers at the diflfer- ent stations proves it and the situation does not seem to be confined to any one or two varieties, but covers all of them, both of wrinkled and round sorts. Wm. Henry Maule, Philadelphia, has been in the seed business twenty-eight years and says he has spent over a mil- lion dollars in newspaper and catalogue advertising. He says that the high ad- vertising rate general publications do not pay, but that the gardening and agricultural papers do. Still he thinks the catalogue the mainstay of every suc- cessful seed business in this country. The seed business in the south is de- veloping rapidly, particularly at New Orleans.

Hasslach & Boumanille send out the following notes on the condition of seed crops in the south of France about September 5: Artichoke and asparagus, condition fair. Beet and mangold, partly de- stroyed by cold, now attacked by in- sects; poor crops. Cauliflower, broccoli, are in a fair state and will ripen soon. Cabbage and savoy have suffered much and are now attacked by insects; in every case the crop will be insignifi- cant. Carrots have suffered by cold and continuous rain in May; crop not very important, caterpillars are attack- ing the umbels, thus spoiling the greater part of the crop; we cannot yet give any idea as to the probable crop. Celery, celeriac, nearly an entire fail- ure. Chicory, endive, are secured and will give a satisfactory crop. Cucum- ber, large areas are in growth, more than last spring; a very satisfac- tory business was done and all stock sold out in th© town of Saint-Remy; crop very small. Kohl rabi, fully fifty per cent destroyed. Leek, plantations are of little importance; prices will be high. Lettuces, large areas planted, promise well both in quality and quan- tity. Onion, red and white sorts, rather good; yellow sorts less abun- dant, prices probably high.

STURGEON BAY, WIS. The weather is still warm and is ac- companied by an overabundance of rain. Potatoes show signs of blight or rot in some fields. The yield will be heavy. Arthur Teweles, of the firm of Teweles & Brandeis, reports that grain is coming in very slow, and that they do not look for a heavy movement before the first of October, about four weeks later than last year. The recent, heavy rains have delayed the work of the farmers, making the harvest season a late one. Showers during the first of the week gave the farmers another setback. The crops are being harvested under great difficulties this season. CATALOGUES RECEIVED. W. E.

Weedy, land should never be planted to onion sets; neither should they be planted where there is a scarcity of available field laborers; a week of neglect when weeding is need- ed spoils any chanc3 of success with this crop. Kich land stands heavier seed- ing than poorer land. Sixty-five to eighty-five pounds of seed to the acre is about the right quantity to sow. A fairly good yield would be 400 bushels per acre.

Holmes Seed Co. has been making a display of dahlias, comprising flowers of over 150 different varieties. They were all staged the same as at a regular horticultural exhibition, with the names of each variety attached. The Holmes Seed Co. has, for the past three years, been making an exhibit of this kind at the seed store for the benefit of its patrons around about Harrisburg, who really do not know the true value of the dahlia. At the opening of the show there was an attendance of at least 1,500 people, and great were the exclamations of ad- miration of many when they saw the numerous varieties. An arch of dahlias created quite a sensation among those entering the store. In all, there were possibly from 5,000 to 6,000 blooms on exhibition, which were replaced daily Cioeraria Qraodiflora.

This is one of the features which the Holmes Seed Co. use in attracting people to their store, and Mr. Holmes says it might be valuable to many other seedsmen, for even if they do not wish to purchase any- thing, the visitors see what you have to sell, and, although not a paying invest- ment by any means, directly, it is one of the best advertising schemes he knows of.

We have had a week of grand weather and it has been much tnore pleasant out- doors than indoors, which is all very well in its way, but it does not help the cut flower business. There are lots of good roses and carnations, and they are be- coming more plentiful. Asters have just about dropped out of sight. The first yellow chrysanthemums of the season made their appearance at the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. 's, Saturday, September 23. . Variotfs Notes. Tuesday, October 2, will be the next meeting of the Florists' Club and Presi- dent Langhans is arranging for an in- teresting display of cut flower work as done thirty years ago by an old-timer and also some up-to-date bunches. There will also be a display of decorative greenhouse plants, with an interesting talk on same. President Langhans wishes to invite all members to this meeting. Breitenstein & Flemm are changing their interior decorations and, as they are always original, we expect something out of the regular line. A Pittsburg firm is making window boxes and plant tubs out of iron and ce- ment, inlaying them with colored glass in mosaic effect. Some of the florists are already fiilling them with box-wood and arbor-vitsB for porch and window effects for the winter; they are very pretty. Ed. ■NlcCollum, of the Pittsburg Flo- rists' Exchange, is blossoming out as a football player. He gave a corn roast last Friday night, which was a success and was enjoyed by all who had the pleasure to attend. Hoo-Hoo. St. Paul, Minn. — H. C. Hanson will build a thousand-dollar greenhouse on Dale street. McKiNNEY, Tex. — George W. Taylor has this season put up two new con- nected houses, each 14x75 feet. Cheswick, Pa. — Innes & McKae will this winter devote six houses to lettuce and parsley, three houses to carnations and one to smilax. Mention The Review when yon write. FIRST QUALITY, 60c PER 1000.

Store openings created quite a demand for palms, etc. Two banjc openings, one of especial importance, the Centra,! National, in the New Eockefel- ler building, brought a heavy demand for Beauties, mums, orchids, etc. A Jery large business was also done in uneral work, the death of Luther Allen, one of Cleveland's most prominent busi- ness men being the occasion. Several wedding decorations were executed this veek. What is needed most at this time is, a killing frost to finish outdoor flow- ers; then the real fall season will open. At the present writing the weather con- ditions are. ideal for the growth of in- door stock, warm an,d balmy during the day and cool enou^ at night for a lit- tle fire heat. The improvement of stock i^ quite noticeable. ; The first mums of the season have made their appearance, the variety being jlonrovia. Some very fine Beauties are coming in, of extra good color and sjtrong stems. I Various Notes. I Smith & Fetters have had an excep- iionally heavy week for the wind-up of September, a very large decoration for ^he bankers' convention, including some thirty odd tables, many large orders for ,the bank openings, also for the funeral •f Luther Allen. This, coupled with two large weddings, made a busy week. Mr. Smith says he is very well pleased ^Fith the outlook for business, Septem- ber being especially satisfactory. . The J. M. Gasser Co. also reports a ^ood demand for flowers. Particularly 18 this true of Beauties. This firm was also very busy with large orders for the bank openings, and some big orders for ihe Luther Allen funeral. They report business as being quite up to their ex- pectations. Stock coming from the llocky River plant is very good for so terly in the season. Beauties and Kais- erins are extra fine. ; C. M. Wagner is well satisfied with the condition of business, having several weddings for the near future. He is re- ceiving some very good carnations from Merkle & Son, of West Mentor. H, B. Jones has returned from a long eruise up the lakes and is the very pic- ture of health. F. M. Smith recently returned from Chicago, where he was looking up stock for the coming season. He reports every- thing looking splendid around that lo- cality. At the regular meeting of the Cleve- land Florists' Club held Septembei- 25, the following officers were unanimously elected for the ensuing year: President, M. Bloy; first vice-president, A. Hart; second vice-president, Guy Bate; secre- tary, Isaac Kennedy; assistant secretary, Wm. Brinker; treasurer, H. A. Hart.' After business was transacted and the meeting adjourned refreshments were iserved by the executive committee. R. jEmslcy was elected to membership. i Forest City. I Marietta, O. — B. B.

The best temperature for a mushroom house is 55 degrees. Some growers run their houses a little higher than this but by 80 doing are apt to have the atmos- phere too dry. As atmosphere moisture is one of the essentials to success it is safer to run the temperature a little lower than the crop would actually stand rather than run the risk of having the Atmosphere too dry, even although growth may be a little slower at 55 de- grees than it would be at 60 degrees. The amount of sprinkling necessary to maintain a humid atmosphere will de- pend a great deal on where the mush- rooms are grown. If in an underground cellar evaporation would be slow and the temperature would be easily kept up without having the pipes very hot, so here sprinkling would not have to be done so frequently as if the house were over ground and a brisk heat necessary to keep up the desired temperature. When sprinkling is done, water about the same temperature as the atmosphere of the house should be used and a fine ayringe is best for applying it. In a house that is naturally moist it may only be necessary to occasionally dampen the pathways, but in the case of a house where the atmosphere is naturally dry the side walls should also be sprinkled. If the material is in the proper condi- tion of moisture at the time of making up the bed, and the proper atmospheric moisture is maintained in the house, watering should be unnecessary, but if from some unavoidable cause the bed be- comes dry the only way to save the crop would be to water the bed. The tem- perature of the bed should be ascertained and water a few degrees wanner applied. It will not be necessary to soak the bed until the water runs through, as would be done with a rose or carnation bed, but just enough should be applied to moisten the material. The exact size at which mushrooms should be pulled will depend upon the quality of the crop. In the case of a good, free growth they attain quite a large size before they reach what might be called the too old stage, or the stage at which the gills turn black. When left until that time both the quality and ap- pearance 01' the mushrooms are impaired. If, on the other hand, they are pulled too early the grower loses in weight. Ex- perience soon teaches the operator just how long they can safely be left to at- tain the greatest weight and at the same time look well and be of good quality. The mushrooms should be pulled, not cut, and to avoid pulling a bunch of the soil along with them and leaving a large hole in the bed, they should be twisted around, taking hold of the stem as near the soil as possible. This twist breaks them free and allows them to be lifted out clean, leaving a hole only the size of the stem. W. S. Croydon. VEGETABLE FORCEHS. The Review will appreciate the cour- tesy of its readers if they will send us the names and addresses of those in their vicinity who are growing vegetables un- der glass. PACIFIC COAST. PROTECTION FROM FROST. The growing season for small orna- mental evergreens and shrubs is still at its height and, as we can expect colder weather before long, it is a good plan to examine them and see what had better be shifted, either in glass frames or in the houses. Our winters are very uncer- tain when it comes to figuring out how much cold weather we may expect. Many of our shrubs and trees are not hardy when small, but when they have attained a few years' growth no worri- ment need be felt. In the vicinity of San Francisco for the past two seasons the thermometer has rarely fallen below 28 degrees, but even this temperature is quite sufficient to destroy much stock. With coniferous stock in the varieties handled by a majority of the growers and dealers, there is little to be particu- lar about, except araucarias. At no stage is there any difla.culty with A. im- bricata. It is hardy. With A. Bidwillii, A. excelsa, A. Cunninghami and A. Cookii, there is always a chance that they will get bitten and shel- ter should be provided for them until they have been growing in the ground at least four or five years. I have seen them badly burned, even when much older, but only in extreme seasons. With palms all the sorts of phoenix and chamserops are hardy and no frost in this latitude seems to bother them. Kentias, seaforthias, arecas and livistonas are easily handled outside from April until the end of October; after that they must be watched. None of these require any artificial heat, even in the coldest part of the winter, but they must be under glass, either in cold frames or greenhouses; th*y never be- come hardy enough to withstand our win- ters in the neighborhood of San Fran- cisco, although in the southern portion of the state they can be handled with impunity. Asparagus plumosus, Sprengeri or tenuissimus is hardy here and can be left outside all winter, provided there is not too much moisture. All the varieties do well under latticework and plumosus can be handled as easily as smilax and with as little trouble. With ferns we have to be more par- ticular. None of the adiantums com- monly grown should be handled outside except A. pedatum and this does not suc- ceed except in a shady place. All the aspidiums are hardy except a few deli- cate kinds not safe to leave in the open. I have seen dicksonias badly cut with the frost but have never lost any. D. punc- tilobula is especially hardy. Asplenium bulbiferum is half hardy and A. Tricho- manes fully so. Woodwardiae are very hardy here. There are many other ferns handled but these I mention are in gen- eral use. Cyrtomium falcatum should not be forgotten, as it is one of our most valuable hardy sorts.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1067 weather, are not suitable for outside growing unless in a specially warm and dry situation. Beturning to palms, I might add that Cycas revoluta is not aflfected by frost here, nor is Corypha Australia usually. Care must be taken with small plants of bougainvillea, jasmine, lantana, man- devilla and bignonia until the second season. With flowering plants, unless the season turns especially cold, large geraniums, heliotropes and marguerites, when planted in the ground, are safe, but small plants in pots should be housed. Aehyranthes, alternantheras, salvias, lobelias and material of that de- scription, when in a sheltered place will not be killed, but if there is too much moisture they will hardly survive. It is the superabundance of water in the win- ter time that destroys more of our small plants than does the cold nights. G. PASADENA, CAL. Albert Zimmerman, who has been su- perintendent of the Pasadena city parks for the past three years, having re- signed the position, the commissioners have appointed Jacob Albrecht to suc- ceed him. The Park Nursery Co. has just moved its office and salesyard from 158 West Colorado street, where they have been located for the past sixteen years, to 190 West Colorado street. They have also removed a portion of their lath house and greenhouses to the rear of the property at the new address. The balance of the houses are to be taken to the nursery one mile east of Pasa- dena. The Pasadena Gardeners' Association is flourishing and holds meetings the first and third Friday evenings of each month in G. A. E. hall. SAN FRANOSCX). The Market The weather has turned very warm and San Franciscans are having their first spell of summer. Flowers of almost all kinds are very scarce, carnations and roses because of the changing of stock, and other material principally because it is between seasons. Asters are gone and chrysanthemums are not yet in full blast. Lilium album and rubrum are al- most out of season, longiflorums are scarce and auratums have entirely dis- appeared. Valley is in good supply at $4 per hundred. Sweet peas are, owing to the warm weather, more plentiful again, although the stems are generally very short. Smilax is getting longer of string, and asparagus and maidenhair hold their own. Gladioli, dahlias and other cheap flow- ers are almost out of market. Everyone is waiting patiently for mums to get cheap. Business outside of funeral work is very slow, although the wholesalers are having no trouble to dispose of every- thing they have. Variout Notes. W. W. Saunders, the Fresno bulb grower, is in town. Mr. Saunders will remove his entire stock from Golden Gate to Fresno. Thomas Shickler, employed for many years as gardener to Mrs. Stanford, at Palo Alto, committed suicide at Covelo September 18. He was a native of Aus- tria and 42 years of age.

The 3lBt annual convention will be held at D&Uas, Texas, June, 1»06. H. C. BooERS, Mechauicsburg, O., has started a catalpa nijrsery. The Horticultural Society of Northern Illinois will hold its thirty-ninth annual meeting at Harvard December 7 and 8. The European nurserymen, especially in France and Holland, are finding the American market a most satisfactory outlet for their product. Western New York nurserymen all report this as having been the best grow- ing season they have had in years. Good stock is plentiful in most lines. Importations of French crab seed now amount to many tons a year and nearly all of it finds its way into the ground in the vicinity of Topeka, Kan. Wholesale nurseries are holding jirices stiflfer than 9 year ago, due more to a belief in the general prosperity of the country than to any apparent short- age in stock. A SCHOOL ot forestry is conducted at Biltmore, N. >D,, C. A. Schenck, director, who advertises as one of the advantages "object letesons within the estate of George W. Vanderbilt." F. GOMER Wateeier, of John Waterer & Sons, the American Nursery, Bagshot, Surrey, England, will visit eastern nur- series during October, making his head- quarters at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York. Does your catalogue show that it was turned out of the same mold as were those of a half dozen of your competi- tors? There is some complaint that cherry trees have not done so well as most nur- sery stock this season, due to too much rain in the early stages, which is said to have caused too early falling of the leaves and growth below the normal. A GOOD lawn shrub which is not used as much as it deserves is, the high-bush cran- berry, Viburnum opulus. It flowers at- tractively in the latter part of May or June and in the fall is full of bright red berries, which hang on for a long time. There are those who say they believe the nursery trade is on the way to the "demnition bow-wows" because of the nature of modern competition. It is un- doubtedly true that "times do change" and that those venerable firms which for business depend on the prestige of by- gone days may be suffering from the inroads of younger and more enterpris- ing men. It is so in every line. The ability to meet changing conditions is as essential to retaining the fruits of suc- cess as sound business methods were to its attainment. WIRTH LEAVES HARTFORD. Theodore Wirth, for eleven years superintendent of the parks of Hartford, Conn., has resigned to accept the super- intendency of the park system of Minne- apolis.

Mr. Wirth is a native of Switzer- land and is 42 years of age. He is a graduate of a school of landscape ar- chitecture in his native land. He worked three years in the parks of Paris and sev- eral years in the public gardens in Lon- don before coming to America. In New York he obtained an appointment in the city's park system. With J. F. Huss he platted the famous Morningside park and later had charge of similar work on the state reservation at Niagara Falls, with Samuel Parsons, Jr. For a time he was engaged in private business at Glen Cove, Lo^g Island, but retired in 1895 to accept the position of park superintendent at Hartford. He is the president of the American As- sociation of Park Superintendents and is recognized by authorities as one of the ablest and most progressive park men in the country. He is a director of the S. A. F. POMOLCXJICAL SOCIETY. There was an attendance of over 200 members at the twenty-ninth biennial convention of the American Pomological Society, held at the Coates House, Kansas City, September 19 to 21. A large portion of those present were con- nected with horticultural schools, etc., but there were also many fruit growers and a number of nurserymen. C. L. Watrous, Des Moines, la., presided in the absence of President J. H. Hale, of South Glastonbury, Conn. There was a lengthy program of papers on scientific pomology and many debates on more 'SSPTKSJT ^^s}>ff''3IV'i^7^^P''^vr'irZ^ fr^;.'-''^ "■; S^« ,'^;'r^'. r-~""fi»'' "^ f. , ••^' V,- «• ' L * . i . , ^..: <• .

There was an exceptionally large dis- play of fruits. The Wilder medals were awarded as follows: Silver medal to the Missouri State Horticultural Society for its exhibit of apples, pears and plums; silver medal to EUwanger & Barry, Eoch- ester, N. Y., for display of 127 plates of pears ; silver medal to C. G.

Taft, Agricultural College, Mich. Following the convention sixty-two of the members left on a four days' tour of the Ozark fruit belt as guests of the Kansas City Southern and Frisco rail- roads. CEMETERY CONVENTION. The nineteenth annual convention of the American Association of Cemetery Superintendents, held at Washington, D. C, September 19 to 22, was the most successful in the history of the organiza- tion. The attendance was 160, from all parts of the United States. There was a program of valuable papers and discus- sions on technical and landscape topics, sessions being held at the local ceme- teries. Officers were elected as follows: President, E. G. Carter, Oakwoods, Chi- cago; vice-president, J. C. Kline, Wood- lawn, Dayton, Ohio; secretary-treasurer, Bellett Lawson, Paxtang, Pa. It was decided to meet at Detroit next year. The social features were especially nu- merous, including a trip to Mt. Vernon and much sight-seeing. On the closing day a large party accepted an invitation to visit the cemeteries of Baltimore. BABY RAMBLER FINE BEDDER. The Baby Rambler rose has been seen in the market throughout the season and quite recently I saw some well flowered plants in pots, says a writer in the Hor- ticultural Advertiser. It may not sus- tain very high prices, yet it will undoubt- edly remain a favorite, and take its place among the most useful of market plants. It is not only as a pot plant that it is useful ; for bedding it is one of the most continuous bloomers we have. I recently saw a large bed in the open ground at H. B. May's, where it was flowering most profusely, and was told that it had been equally gay for many weeks past. No sooner has one crop of bloom passed than it is succeeded by another, which is pro- duced from new shoots thrown up from the base. It cannot be too highly recom- mended as a bedding rose.

In many places one can stand and look between the trees and shrubbery and 300 feet below see the railroad, factories and various industries of our great manufacturing city and one cannot help admiring the man with his art who can make such a transformation up among the smoke clouds of onr Smoky City. Wm. Forsythe, who took charge of the bald knob eight years ago, and has made it one of the beauty spots of our city, is too modest to boast about what he has done, but rather apologizes for what he might have done. Gardeners who • are playing among nice easy things would do well to go up there and see what is possible among the rocks and stiff red clay. Hoo-Hoo. INCARVILLEA GRANDIFLORA, This plant may be regarded as one of the best introductions in the line of hardy perennials of the last years, for which we are indebted, if I am not mis- taken, to a French missionary in North China. Compared with the now fairly well-known I. Delavayi, it has the fol- lowing advantages: Enormous flowers of about double the size of I. Delavayi, beating in size even a good gloxinia flow- er. The growth is compact and the flow- ering season is about the middle of May. Although the price of the tubers, which was only a couple of years ago, still some $3 to $4 each, is coming more in the reach of growers, it is likely that it will keep up a fair price. As regards hardi- ness, it stands in its native country a good deal of frost and can be considered to be hardy, still it is safe to give the tubers a protection of leaf-mold during winter. A. M. C. Van der Elst. FLOWERING SHRUBS. Will you inform me what flowering shrubs can be planted to make a good showing in the place of cannas and sal- vias? The bed is thirteen feet in diame- ter and situated so as to get the sun about half of the day, also where it is cold and bleak in winter. I have plenty of -hydrangeas and spiraeas in the yard. E. F. C. There are so inany beautiful and desir- able fhrubs suitable for the purposes named and which are reliably winter hardy that it is a little diflScult to make a selection. If something is desired which will make a rapid growth and cover the space to be planted we would recommend any of the loni- ceras, of which L. Moi^owi is per- haps the best. Plant four feet apart each way. Given good soil to grow in, a single bush will cover a bed of the diameter named in five years. This loui- cera attains a height of eight to nine feet, is beautiful either in bloom or fruit and holds its foliage longer than almost any other deciduous shrub. if a little more variety is desired, nothing could be better than lilacs. They grow slower than loniceras, but are magnificent when in bloom and hold their foliage very late. Several varieties might be planted in such a bed. We would suggest one plant each of the fol- lowing, which would give quite a long succession of bloom: Charles X, reddish purple; Frau Bertha Dammann, large $50,000 T NURSERY STOCK 0E have at Peekskill the above amount in very choice trees consisting of JO.OOO Sugar and Norway Maples perfectly straight, specimen trees from 1^ to 3 inches in diameter, Hem- locks, Norway Spruces, Pines, Arbor- Vitacs, etc All of the above have been several times transplanted and each one is a specimen.

BENJAMIN DORRANCE, SOSB OBOWBSS, Ho. 3 Dorranoe rar». Dorranceton.Pa Mention The Review wben you write. DETROIT. Club Meeting. The regular meeting of the Detroit Florists' Club was held September 20. A committee was appointed to arrange for an exhibition of cement slabs and posts to be held at the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange October 4. A number of premiums Avill be offered as induce- ments. The question of ' ' boarder ' ' plants was brought up again. Some thought it a good plan to refuse board- ers altogether but the majority thought it better to charge a good price per month, as in that way many poor plants would find their way to the junk pile. There was some talk of starting another bowling club. The Market. Good stock continues to be scarce, ex- cept roses, which are very short in stem. Business has been fair this week, the sale of palms and Boston ferns starting op again. Hugo Schroeter has been in Chicago this week buying Beauties and other roses for a large store decoration put up on Wednesday, LOUISVILLE, KY. Trade has been very good for this sea- son of the year and stock in fair sup- ply, equality is up to the usual standard for September. Prospects are very bright and every one expects a busy sea- son, fairly opening with our fall show, which is expected to be the best ever held by the Kentucky Society of Florists. The retailers all show the effects of steadily improving demand for flowers in improved facilities for handling the trade. Walker's new store is a fine one and Jacob Schulz is building a new store which will be second to none in this part of the country. Nanz & Neuner are forced to vacate the store they have oc- cupied so many years and will see to it that they have every moderii>^ convenience when they get located again. Baumer and Haupt each do a nice business and have good stores. BiiOOMiNGTON, III. — Work has been started on the new greenhouses at the university. New Philadelphia, O. — T. B. Stroup has a house of Ivory roses with which he is especially successful. Centralia, III. — J. W. Ross has his annual dahlia show on thig week. He has ninety-three varieties of dahlias on ■ his place and when the season is at its height the display each year attracts rhaiiv visitors. ABUNDANCE The Phenomenal Yielder HH jR&Jk&ffi IV J i^^^^^^^^^^^^^^i ^B ■^^^^■^l A carnation that stands alone for bloomlDic, as a glance at the above photo will ataow. No other sort can compare with it. BloomlDg profusely from fall until thrown out in summer. Oolor, pure white, a good size, well built flower of the shape of Scott. Stemi in f til 14 to 16 inches. Btretcbing to 2, i^i and 8 feet in winter and spring, very stiff, without being rigid. Is a fine keeper and shipper, flowers sent to Ouba last year kept in perfect condition a week after arrival. Plant has the slim, wiry growth of McGowan in fall but loses this character as winter and spring advance, aa it makes a rapid, strong and vigorous growth. It makes a large bunch of flberous roots, which accounts for its wonderful recuperative power, and makes it extremely easy to handle: it can be transplanted with perfect safety, plants stand- ing up like soldiers in a couple of days after planting. It makes absolutely no grass at base of plants for every shoot runs quickly up to flower. ▲ thoroughly business Oamation. Is a profuse propagator and a sure and easy rooter. Has never been subject to any disease. There is nothing in the way of a Oamation easier to grow, but beware of overfeeding, as it won't stand it: flowers will burst if fed highly; 8 parts of well-rotted sod or rich loam, with 1 part well-rotted manure is a:l it requires, no other dressing. This is a Oamation that returns dollars for cents to the grower, for while he grows Abundance be will alwaya get an abundance. Ordera taken now for cuttings, so send in your order early aa they are filled in atrict rotation. Price for well-rooted Outting'a, $10.00 per 100; 976.00 per lOOO; 800 at lOOO rate. To those wishing unrooted cuttings will be given 25 extra witb each 100. Rooted cuttings as soon as possible; unrooted cuttings after Nov. 1. Uaab before delivery R. FISCHER, - GREAT NECK, L. I., N.

CINONNATL The Market Business is not picking up quite as rapidly as might be expected or hoped; still it could be worse and there is a fair trade being done. Funeral work is the main item. Though many of the best flower buyers are now at home they do not seem to take hold; perhaps the weather is too fine. The &wt- mums of the season were seen the past week. They were white and yel- low. The white were pmall but the yel- low were fairly good. They had been picked a little too soon, though, and did not possess very good keeping qualities. Soses are almost a glut and all varie- ties sell cheap. Beauty holds out the best of any and brings the best price in proportion. Other red roses also are in good demand. Carnations sell quickly and at good prices. Some very good ones are seen and they sell out clean. There is an especially heavy demand for white. Beds are scarce. Other stock is about the same as last report but greens are a little scarce. Various Notes. Charles Hoflfmeister has rented the store lately occupied by the Hoflfmeister Floral Co. and has bought the fixtures and is doing business as the Chas. Hoflf- meister Floral Co. The store is located at 813 Elm street. Miss Schramm, for- merly with the Hoflfmeister Floral Co., will be with the new concern. The Charleston Cut Flower and Plant Co., of Charleston, W. Va., was visited by a fire which caused almost a total loss, and which was insured for about half value. Wm. Murphy has returned from the north after a long vacation. C. J. Ohmer. Buffalo, N. Y. — W. A. Adams, better known as Andy, is a candidate for the Bepublican nomination for supervisor for the Twenty-second ward. Blackwell, Okla. — J. W. Tetirick & Son are planning to build a range of greenhouses for next season. They already have a large business in hardy stock. The Review is very satisf-Tctory to me.

I have two houses 14x75 feet, with no partition wall. The outside walls are five feet high, with a foot of glass, so that the total glass area is 2,550 square feet, not counting the glass in the south gables, above three feet. Gould I get sufiScient heat by using a 2-inch pipe on each outside wall, with four 1%-inch returns in each house? Our lowest tem- perature in seven years has been 5 de- grees below zero. What size of boiler will be required? G. W. T. You can heat these houses by running a 2-inch supply, either along the exposed side of each or under the ridge, and re- turning same through eight 1%-inch pipes in each house. The entire piping would consist of a 2-inch flow in each house and eight l^i-inch returns, or six- teen 1^4 -inch pipes in all. It will be desirable to place valves on at least three of the 1^4 -inch pipes in each house, these pipes to be reserved for severe weather. Under ordinary circumstances four or five 1%-inch returns will probably be sufficient in your climate. The boiler should have a rated capacity for 1,000 square feet of radiation. It would not be wise to secure a boiler with less capacity. Any standard make of heater with the rated capacity above noted will do your work. L. C. C. GRADE OF FLOV PIPE. I am changing a boiler in my green- bouse and it is very much longer than the one I am taking out. The flow pipe is eighteen inches higher than the line of the flow that is already in the house. I am in doubt whether to drop the flow eighteen inches by tees and elbow to begin level or let the fall be gradual through the length of the house until it strikes the returns at the other end. Please give me your opinion. F. A. B. If, as seems to be the case, you are using a down-hill system in the arrange- ment of your flow and return pipes, I should by all means change the grade of the flow so as to make it gradual the full length of the house. Tees and ells have a tendency to retard the circulation and the fewer you use the better. L. C. C. ^ Nashville, Tenn. — T. C.

The regular monthly meeting of the New Orleans Horticultural Society took place last week. The most important business was to decide if our fall show should be postponed. Under the existing circumstances it was a hard matter to decide. The discussion was long, several members having different opinions. Finally it was voted to go on with the show. The exact place and time will be fixed soon. President Chopin appointed a commit- tee consisting of J. Newsham, J. Steck- ler, W, C. Eichling, H. A. Despommier and Paul Abele to correspond with all the horticultural societies of the south- ern states in regard to CEtablishing an annual southern florists' convention. He submitted a partial list to the commit- tee, which had been kindly furnished by the Florists' Eeview, of about twenty different organizations among the south- ern states with the idea to get their views on the subject. He made a few well appropriate remarks, saying that the time was ripe for such an undertak- ing. He had already received a letter from H. P. Loding, of Mobile, Ala. In his communication that gentleman says: "Seeing from the Beview of the move- ment on hand in our southern metropolis to form an inter-state horticultural so- ciety for the southern states, and know- ing from experience how much a little encouragement from the outside helps, 1 wish to show my appreciation and en- dorsement of such a plan. Our interests differ somewhat with that of our north- ern brethren in more than one respect and for a great majority it is an impos- sibility to attend the convention of the S. A. F., both on account of distance and expense. Such a society as is contemplat- ed by your body is not only a benefit, but an absolute necessity to our common welfare and the initiative ought to come from New Orleans." The finance committee reported cash on hand, $707.50. Expenditures up to June 30, $148.90. Claude L. Ory was elefted a member. On exhibition we had a bunch of roses, Bride, Maid and Liberty, and Enchant- ress carnations, by H. Papworth, of the Metairie Nurseries. They were more ap- preciated being the first flowersi grown in his newly erected greenhouses. R. Eich- ling had a fine specimen of Ficus pan- durata. The Chrysanthemum. Now, and for the next five weeks, the attention of the florists of New Orleans will be on the chrysanthemum, which we all want to be in good condition for the first of November. Unlike the north, the queen -of the fall flowers is appreciated here 'principally on that day. As long as our people call it "the dead people's flower ' ' it will be the same. Before and after Ail Saints' day it is not much in demand, but on that day an enormous quantity is disposed of in New Orleans. If it were left to the regular florists to supply the market we could all realize a nice profit. The trouble is that outside growers fall into line on that day and overstock the market to such an extent that the prices are very often too low to be remunerative. A few years ago our largest supply came from the north, where we still have to go for the finest flowers, Mississippi also furnishing the KID DOOR WILKS GREENHOUSE HEATERS The Wilks Greenhouse Heaters are all Steel Self-Feeders.

"'■^, One Of Our Struggles^ Wc have jast been struggling to overcome a prejudice— not ours— but a florist's. He wanted one of our houses— has for over three years-but he believed in the school of experience— took a full course (from what he admits on repairs and costs in chilled plants)— and then came to tis to "^talfc price.'' Came 900 miles to do it. He said: ''You build good enough houses, all right, good as any one, maybe a lot better, but aren't you a little high-priced?" Wc just went into the whole constructive thing with that man, from turning the sod to turning on the heat. Showed him the kind of things we put into our houses— told him how all our Cypress was air-dried two years before using— gave him a rough lead pencil sketch of the way we har- nessed the heat in our boikrs— underlined the little perfections that go to make our ventilating devices what they are; even told him our formula for mixing putty, and showed him the things we made it of— then we ''talked price" again. We are working away at that man's house now; it will be ready a full month before he wants it, some time in February. If you are thinking of a house, take it up with us NOW and wc can have it ready when you are ready. Catalog L-G. BURNHAM-HITCHINGS-PIERSON CO.

PEOPLE who know a good thing when they see it, and will take advantage of the same, must be possessed with good judgment and are generally suc- cessful. One of our successful growers has this year taken out 6000 feet of wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6000 feet of the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order. Our long list of orders of this kind is our best reference. By writing any of the large growers at Chicago you will confer a favor on the GEO. M GARLAND CO., - DES PLAINES, ILL.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1095 SHADING THE BLOOMS. Shading the blooms is absolutely nec- essary when they are developing in such .summery weather as we are having at present. September 30 my thermometer showed 90 degrees in the shade at 2 p. m. and such a temperature is de- cidedly out of place for the perfect de- velopment of the chrysanthemum flow- ers. So long as the buds are not show- ing color, shading is not necessary, but the early kinds, that are nearly ready to cut, burn in a manner painful to see, unless protected from strong sunlight. Why flowers should burn when grow- ing on plants that have been well cared for and fed hfeavily, and not burn on plants that have been neglected and abused and received no additional nour- ishment, is something that may at first sight seem hard to understand. A little study of the situation, however, makes things easier. The chrysanthemum is naturally a sub-shrub in growth and left to itself makes a dense mass of short growths and small foliage. This growth is hard and woody and the flowers are numerous, small and insignificant. Man comes along and first makes the plant change its habit by running it up to one or two stems; then disbuds all side buds and keeps the plant to single flowers, and finally feeds heavily with nitrogen- ous fertilizers to swell up that single stem and flower to the largest possible size. The consequence of all this is that the flower, though large enough, is soft and when, as in the present case, a few days of exceptionally warm weather set in, damping is to a large extent inevitable. Wlien frosty nights set in, and the tem- perature is down where it normally be- longs, the damping will cease, unless it happens that the plants have been over- fed and are suffering from ' ' bloat. ' ' It has seemed to me that much of the 'lamage is done in the early morning, when the sun hits the petals while they •■•re still wet from the night moisture, ;ind seems to rot them. A certain percentage of loss by damp- ing is always expected by the exhibition grower, who, in striving to get his flow frs as large as possible, is always near • he danger line of too much feeding, and "nly the most careful watching and knowledge often prevent wholesale dam- age when we get a hot fall. Damping is more prevalent along the eastern sea- board than in the interior of the coun- try, because the air contains more mois- ture and the nearer one lives to the sea the more trouble does he encounter in this respeet. Moral : "Go west, young man." Early Flowers. Early flowers are in and increasing in kind and quantity every day, but the 'narket conditions are very different to what they were last year at this time. Early frosts had practically wiped out the dahlias and other outdoor stock, and the market was waiting with open arms for the first mums. Today dahlias are splendid in size and finish, and number- less in quantity, and outdoor stock of all descriptions is untouched by frost. Marquis De Montmort, Fitzwygram and Monrovia are for sale in quantity and our first dozen Merstham Yellow were cut September 30. Novelties. It is a little early yet to say how the new importations are going to turn out, but some of them are far enough ad- vanced to enable one to form some con- clusions. Lady Henderson shows a lovely, full flower of apricot yellow and every shoot has a perfect bud. It is dwarf and even in growth and from present indications may be set down as one of the good ones. It was raised by Pilsbury, I be- lieve, in the Isle of Wight. Mrs. G. Heaume comes next in the order of its development. It is an Aus- tralian variety and at the present time is half developed from the early buds. It would be difficult to imagine a nicer growth than this variety possesses. Stiff stem, very dwarf and good foliage, it seems destined to be a favorite for the exhibition growers. The color (salmon buff) is against it commercially, per- haps, but it seems a very reliable variety in every way. It would seem that the Australian nov- elties as" a whole are fully up to the high standard as to habit, foliage and other desirable attributes, that have characterized these kinds for the past few years, and in G. J. Brookes, Mrs. Henry Partridge, Miss May Seddon, Mrs. W. Knox and Mrs. F. F. Thompson I look to see some record breakers de- velop in the next few weeks. Charles H. Totty. THE WASHINGTON ARCH. Coincident with the announcement of the death of Andreas Loef- fler, at Washington, comes a photo- graph, reproduced herewith, showing the gate of his home grounds decor- ated for the lawn party given there by the Washington Florists* Club, for the S. A. F. on the evening of August 15. The decorations were in charge of 0. A. C. Oehmler. Although somewhat ancient history, the picture will serve to awaken pleasant memories in the minds of the many whose good fortune it was to be present on that occasion. Mr. Loeflfler was the father-in-law of Wm. F. Gude, a native of Germany, 57 years of age. He made a considerable fortune in Washington and became a patron of horticulture. He was a Mason and an honorary member of the Wash- ington Florists ' Club. The floral display at the funeral was among the largest ever seen at the obsequies of a private citizen at the national capital. Decorated Gateway at the Loeffler Groundst 'Washington. (Where the S.

By Gertrude Blair. In this and the following article we shall discuss two different kinds of clus- ters, the first to be seen almost any day on any florist's counter, and the second too seldom seen, even on paper, as an ideal to be approached in the remote fu- ture, when all so-called practical ques- tions have settled under their tomb- stones, and a happy generation has got the habit of weaving a thought into each product of the shop. Since the two accompanying illustra- tions arc excellent types of the average output of the trade, we should at least accord the style a place as one of the many types which should be seen, rather than the only one, to be duplicated a score of times at the same funeral. Sim- ply because the great majority of florists use this style is no reason why it should be rated as a low type of design, but we shall endeavor to prove that it has no claim to being the only one. In casting about for a cause for this one style getting such a hold upon the affections of the trade, there appears but one plea in its defense, namely, the ease with which it is put together. Keep in mind that it is not the contents nor the execution of the clusters which is being criticised, but only the style of arrange- ment, which we shall call a panel. In studying the second part of this article in the next issue it will be necesary to have this first part at hand. The style of arrangement shown in both of the pictures illustrating today's notes is not properly called a "spray." The term spray reminds one of a light, thin combination of light and water that hovers over a waterfall, or a light branch that dangles from a vine, like the tip of a Clematis paniculata. The de- signs are not of such a nature; they are solid, symmetrical pieces, more resem- bling a panel of wood carving. Their highest claim to a place as designs proper is their conventionality. As far as the design, or idea, is concerned, there is none except for the first person who ever made a panel like this, for it is the kind that every florist 's apprentice learns to do, and keep on doing mechanically. "But," somebody will say, 'fit is the kind that people want and will buy." Possibly that is true, but it is the only kind that the majority of people ever see. Give customers something better and they will buy it. As a matter of education have a photograph of this kind and photographs of better styles, and side by side, let the buyer choose his style. You can bank upon the fact that the choice will not always fall upon the panel. Compare the carnation piece with the rose piece. The same background of fern loaves is laid in both, the roses and carnations are added in each case in pre- cisely the same way, forming the oval tip and round sides of the piece. Lilies, hya- cinths, violets or any other flowers under the sun suitable for flat bunches, each find their way into panels of the same proportions and shape. Each form an el- liptical cluster when complete. Ferns are added to complete the symmetry at the stem end, as is naturally demanded. The execution of these two clusters is good. The mechanical skill is evidence of long practice and care. If one could have seen the work in doing he would have praised the ease and dexterity which were exhibited in its execution. The result is a perfect elliptical panel. "Well and good so far, but we do not want all of our funeral clusters to be el- liptical panels. This style has its place as one among many, and many of more beauty than it can ever lay claim to. Why should the latest bundh of flowers be made like every other bunch? Make panels occasionally, if you admire the style, but vary the panels. Make some long and slender, if you have buds, and shorter and wider if you have full blown roses. If you have both, grade from one to another, the buds at the tip, the half open flowers connecting with the broad base of full blown flowers. Even wagon wheels are varied in some details. What would we think of a paint- er of pictures who had but one pcene to repeat upon every canvas, an Jirchi- toet who builded but one kind of house, or a tailor whose cut was the same for everybody and all occasions? Many a bridal bunch would serve for a funeral cluster, as far as distinguishing charac- teristics are concerned. (To be continued.) A CASKET COVER. The illustration on page 1098 is re- produced from a photograph of a casket cover, or blanket made by A. Gude & Bro., Washington, D. C, for the funeral of Captain Trout, of the Second Cavalry, who died in the Philippines, but whose remains were brought to Washington for interment at Arlington cemetery.

It is well that employees state their side of the question, for it gives the employ- ers an opportunity to correct many an error. In the first place let me say that the trade is yet so young that the ' ' business type" of employer does not yet predomi- nate in the craft. This condition results in two detrimental things: The proprie- tors are not sufficiently systematic that they know even approximately the cost of production of a certain line of stock and therefore sell at any price, absolutely regardless of cost, thereby injuring such as do try to sell at a reasonable profit; secondly, there is not sufficient effort put forth to reduce the cost of production to its lowest level. In this an intelligent employee can materially assist his em- ployer and at the same time help him- self to a start in life. In the first of these instances the fault may be divided equally between the pub- lic and the dealer, the former because they do not learn the difference between high and low grade stock (perhaps more cor- rectly speaking, fresh and stale stock), and the latter because we persistently refuse to educate the public. Success in business is founded on the absolute con- fidence of the public, and the public will not gain confidence in a florist who will sell low-grade stock at a high-grade price, or who will sell low-grade stock at a ridiculously low figure and then try to make the purchaser believe he is get- ting a high-gradQ article at a great sacri- fice as a special favor. This policy may work all right for a while but in the long run it reacts against the guilty florist. Honesty pays better than much adver- tising. But if you have a high grade article, make a proper charge for its quality, for you may not be able to sup- ply it at all times and you must impress upon the customer that such differences in price have very good reasons. If you do this your customers will come to consider you as a man of good judg- ment and will learn to rely upon you. So much for the income side of the busi- ness. As I said before, the employee has much to do with the expense side of the business, and lucky is the man who is surrounded with a group of workmen- who are imbued with the ' ' esprit du corps, ' ' or that united spirit which labors in all its might to a common end. I hardly know of a place where there is so much leakage as in a greenhouse. If the fire- man neglects his flues, he wastes heat. If he is inattentive to temperatures he not only wastes coal but iniluences quan- tity and quality of stock. Should he be careless about cleaning his grate and ash- pit he soon burns out a grate and new grates eat into' earnings. If the grower is careless with the ho£e and kinks it in a dozen places he can wear out a good hose at least once a year, yet it takes no more time to manipulate a hose so it will not kink than to coil it up and yank it straight. Water can also be economized or wasted, as the case may be, with a great influence on cost, whether it is metered or pumped on the place, because it costs a certain fixed rate per hour to run a pump of any description, no matter what it is. How much air to admit and how much to exclude is also a matter for good judgment on the part of the grower. Too much air in winter wastes heat and too little wastes good stock. Don 't waste any fertilizers — they cost m»uiyf'StaA too much disorders the constitution of the plants — gives them indigestion. The propagator has also a big hand in deter- mining the profit and loss of an institu- tion. Careless selection of cuttings results in some good, some poor and some indif- ferent stock, from which the best returns cannot be obtained by any grower. Heat, moisture and air must be watched more closely here than anywhere else or you waste much valuable stock. The chipper should closely study his part of the busi- ness, to the end that "fancy" flowers don't grade "select" on arrival or "se- lect" grade "common." I have always noticed that the fellow who economizes and systematizes in his private affairs is likely to be economical in his employer's business. How many of our employees keep an expense ac- count, showing how much they take in and how much they expend! Pardon me for taking you into personal experience. If I had failed to keep an accurate record of my private affairs from my earliest youth (I began at 15 years) I would not now be an employer. I am not one of the "whales" in my line, because I am still young (30 years old) and because I chose to train myself along broad lines. At the end of the year, if I failed to save as much as I thought I ought, I went over my expense account and made up a list of things I would eliminate the fol- lowing year. The first year I discovered that my shoe bills went something like $12 per year and learned that if I picked up my feet in walking I could wear a pair of $3.50 shoes one year on an aver- age. I also learned that by buying clothes of a firm texture and not follow- ing the latest fad too closely I could wear » $25 made-to-order suit five years — half the time as a dress suit and half the time as a working garb. By having a summer and winter suit my clothes cost me on an average of $10 per year and I Was dressed as well as any ordi- TRWTP"- ion The Weekly Florists^ Review* OCTOBEK 5, 1005. nary business man in thr city. My sys- tem of economy was not calculated to eliminate everything desirable — to get down to a mere existence — but to have a fair share of sensible luxuries without waste of resources. And J want to say right here that up to the time I went to college (at the age of 22) I never rj- ceived over $7.50 per week and that k11 the money I received from home duriug my first two years in college was $120. The rest I earned and saved myself. Ne- cessity reduced my fare to crackers, milk and bread for a whole year, that 1 might make erds meet. At the end of the two years my father, who was a well- to-do merchant, considered that I had learned my lessons in economics suffi- ciently well to justify him in seeing me through to graiduation without further outside work. But before I went to col- lege I had earned a musical education and a fair understanding of art, the ex- penditures for these accomplishments be- ing nearly $700. By playing or singing in churches I made my musical education pay for itself after the first few hun- dred dollars had been spent. I attended the opera and drama when anything par- ticularly good came along, but I was mighty choice about spendirg hard-earned cash on mediocre plays. I was also a smoker but only used tobacco when I could afford it. At one time it was found necesary to ' ' cut out ' ' smoking, so I consumed a dozen green Pittsburg stogies that set me against the habit so strongly that it lasted two years. You will pardon me for dwelling at length on a subject that is so personal. *ut it is done to show young men that opportunities are still to be had for the grasping, as they were years ago. At the time our present rich men seized their opportunities there was as much chance for waste or economy as there is today. Look about you and figure out the per- centage of men over fifty years that are well-to-do in any vocation! And yet this large majority of poor men failed for the same reason you are failing — be- cause they could see no opportunities. Young men, buckle yourself right down to business. Save all you can wherever you can, for yourself and for your em- ployer, and if he doesn 't eventually make you a member of the firm he's a man who doesn 't know how to get rich, and some other man will profit by your abili- ties. An Employee. CARNATION NOTEa-WEST. < Ventilation and Heat. The treatment you give your carna- tion plants during the next few weeks will have a very noticeable effect on your crop of blooms during at least the first half of the season, and possibly longer. Some growers think that with the plants safely established on the benches the battle is won and that there- after any kind of care will do. But to grow high grade flowers you will find that, while the housing time is a critical time, there are other times that are just as dangerous. Perhaps the plants are not so apt to die outright, but they would better do that than to get into such a condition as may result from poor judg- A Casket Cover for a Military Funeral. ment and at a time when the weather ia the least favorable for them to recover. Such a time is coming now, during the next few weeks of irregular firing. Most growers are loath to begin firing until they are driven to it, especially those who grow carnations and such plants that do not show harm quickly from low tem- perature, etc. It is well to be as saving as is consistent, but there is a limit which the grower with good judgment will ' readily recognize and always heed. On the other hand, there is no need to put on your night man the first cool night and have him raise steam every night, warm or cold, and have the ventilators open full to keep the houses cool. Those who grow roses or other plants needing fire right along now have easy sailing. The night man watches the houses and when the temperature in the carnation houses drops below 50 degrees he turns on the steam in one pipe and leaves the ventilators up a couple of inches. Have him close the ventilators only in case one pipe will not keep the temperature up to 50 degrees. If it takes more than one pipe to do that, then he would better close them a few hours, until it warms up a little, when he can raise them again. A crack of air is always desirablo but there are times when it is too exprii»^i»f>. If you do not grow any plants i- eding more heat than carnations, by usitii- cfK-e and good judgment you can get ah)ng without firing a few days or weeks yet, according to your locality. This year has been an exceptional one in many ways. For several years we have had light frosts about the third week in September ai.d toward the last of the month fire heat was needed. This fall we have had no frosts and only two or three mornings below 45 degrees. On the morning of September 30 the ther- mometer stood at 68 degrees at seven o'clock. While it is warm like this you need not be told to keep the ventilators up, but when the mornings are cool, low in the forties or the upper thirties, then is when your fine work comes into play. The novice is inclined to close the ventilators to keep in the warmth, the worst mistake he can make. Better leave the ventilators up two inches, so the air can circulate. It is better for the plants to have the temperature below 50 degrees, with a little air on, than above 50 degrees with no air on. When the house is closed tight the atmosphere quickly becomes stuffy and foul and the plants make a soft growth that will pro- duce soft blooms, and if you start into the winter with your plants in that con- I dition they will give you trouble when "■ > •r'^ • .'.Ai/>S . October 5, 1005. The Weekly Florists' Review* 1099 it is severely cold and you can not raise the ventilators for days at a time. Watch the watering, too. Do it early in the day so that the plants may dry off well before evening. Reduce the syringing to once each week if that will keep down the red ppider. Don't wet down the walks any more. In fact, you want to encourage a sound, sturdy growth. A. F. J. Baur. THE RUST. Enclosed find some ■«»rnations. Please tell us what is the matter and what to do for them. Mc. B. Your carnations are affected with the common carnation rust. In the Eevibtvv of September 14 I explained fully the cause and the cure for this disease and if you will look up in that number my answer to "W. L. K." you will find all the information you are looking for. However, in case you may have mislaid that number of the Review, I will just say that you should pick off the leaves that are spotted and burn them. Then dust the plants with air-slaked lime and keep the foliage and atmosphere dry ex- cept for the weekly syringing to keep down red spider. Give all the air you can whenever practicable. I hope that you save all the numbers of the Review and lay them away where you can get at them. If every grower would do this there would be fewer in- quiries sent in for information about disease, etc. The Review is always ready and anxious to help its subscribers and to give space to any information anyone has to offer, but how much better it is to be able to look up in a few minutes about something you want to know than to write and wait a week or two to find out, and the trouble growing worse each day. Nearly every issue contains some information that is worth saving, even for old, experienced growers and in the course of two or three years you will find articles on nearly all the more com- mon diseases and insect pests, by men^ who are well informed and up-to-date, and' written from a practical standpoint. I consider my back numbers of the Review as valuable as any reference book I know of. A. F. J. Baur. STEM-ROT. I watch with much interest the dis- cussion in the Review, especially that which has to do with stem-rot of carna- tions. I see that it is not positively known what causes it, except that it is that awful floating germ. I have been pestered with the thing but I feel that I have been more fortunate than some of those who have told their troubles in the Review. I have a house containing 1,500 and have had to replace only about seventy-five. Most of my plants were benched in April and May. I have been studying to find out the cause of the trouble and I have come to the conclu- sion that the first cause is that too much sand was left on the fine roots when planting; resulting in the water passing quickly through and away from the roots; hence to give the plant enough water it made it necessary to put on so much that the surrounding soil became soggy and sour. Then came the stem- rot. R. S. Marshalltown, Ia. — A greenhouse to ''ost $2,500 is being erected at the Iowa Soldiers' Home. Thomas B. Meehan. (PreBldert Floristt.' Club of PhlladelphlH.) ROSE LEAF BLIGHT. I send some cuttings of roses that are injured in some way and would be pleased if you can tell me the trouble with same. My rose grower has been using Bordeaux mixture on my plants, which I think is the trouble, but I am not sure; I never saw this on roses be'- fore. He thinks it is an insect; so told him I would try and find out the trouble. Any information about this that you can give will be much appreciated. J. K. After receiving the foliage on these cuttings and carefully inspecting under a microscope I could see no evidence of injury by Bordeaux mixture. The foli- age is, however, a little soft, but tlie main trouble is the parasite with which they are infested. The blotches on the leaves are caused by the rose leaf blight (Sphat^la rosigena). At first glance this applars very much like black spot, but a closer inspection shows a marked difference. It usually manifests itself in irregular blotches of gray color, surrounded by a purple margin, both on the leaves, young wood and bud stem. It is more preva- lent on teas than on hybrids. The prin- cipal cause is a low temperature, with ex- cessive humidity, which should be guarded against by free ventilation and a tem- perature of not less than 56 degrees at night. The same precautions and same reme- dies should be applied as recommended in the case of black spot. This pest is not nearly so virulent or so hard to extirpate as the last mentioned and generally dis- appears after a short season of steady firing such as will now soon be at hand. Rises. EXTERMINATING BUGS. Will you please inform me how to get clear of sow bugs, and worms and bugs; in the rich ground in my greenhouse and in the gardeu adjoining? They cut up and destroy plants and entail much loss. J. B. R. It is difficult, if not impossible, to entirely clean out sow bugs or wood lice. They can, however, be kept in check by mixing a decoction of powdered sugar, bran and white arsenic, or one of pow- dered sugar, bran and Paris green, near their haunts. The same dose will answer for cockroaches or cut worms. The lat- ter are particularly destructive in May and June, as they feed at night and hide at the base of the plants in the day time. They must be sought at night with lan- terns or picked out of the soil during the day. The word "bug" has such a wide significance that it embraces in common phraseology everything attacking plants. It would need columns of the Review to give anything like a complete list of these and how to fight them. The larv89 of the May beetle, or June bug, were very destructive this year in the east, and it does a great deal of damage in green- houses, especially to roses, carnations and violets, living, as it does, on the roots of these plants. It attacks lawns, and hundreds of acres in New England are destroyed by it this season. Straw- berries and other plants also suffer. Cow manure is a fertile spreader of this pest. It can be destroyed by injecting a little bisulphide of carbon in the soil at inter- vals. If it is bad on the outside land, dress it with kainit and nitrate of soda at the rate of 500 pounds of the former Kipmuiii iiifnipiii ' 1100 The Weekly Florists' Review, October 5, 1905. and 200 pounds of the latter to the acre. All these underground foes are bard to fight and at best we can but mitigate the damage. As a rule they work most harm on dry land during a hot, dry sea- son. The carbon bisulphide will be found effective inside and will not in- jure the plants in the least. If it is found, another season, that the compost to be used on the benches is badly in- fested with worms and larvae it will pay to treat the whole with the same remedy ere carrying it in. W. N. C. HOUSTON, TEX. Death of Vm. Kutschbach. Wm. Kutschbach, the well known flo- rist, died very suddenly September 14. Mr. Kutschbach was born in Erfurt, Ger- many, December 24, 1843. He fought in the German war in 1866, coming to America shortly after, residing m Hous- ton for many years. Marie Proetzel, a daughter of one of the oldest families, became his wife over thirty years ago. Mr, Kuschbach was a grower of cut flowers, ferns, palms and especially of large chrysanthemums, and had taken a great number of first prizes in the south- ern exhibitions. He was the first to grow carnations in Houston. This last year he gave the largest part of his business to his eldest son, August E Kutschbach, who has taken great in- terest in it and is still enlarging the plant. Mr. Kuschbach is survived by his YFife, four daughters and two sons. THOUSAND-LEGS. We mail you under separate cover a box of small worms which we took from the soil of a potted palm. The palm showed no ill effects until removed to a dwelUng; then the older leaves turned brown as if it were sun-burned, but as it was not in the sun at all we know it was not that. The plant sat in a jardi- niere and these little mites crawled out and clung to the outside of the pot. We have had several plants do this and thought it was caused by cutting some of the roots as they were repotted, but they showed no ill effects until now and they have been repotted a couple of months. Please inform us of a remedy for this pest. J- H- ^• The worms in question are millepedes, or thousand-legs, the scientific name of which is julus, the eggs of which are buried in the soil by the mature insect. and are usually hatched out in about three weeks. Entomologists believe that these insects live upon decaying vegetable matter chiefly, and it ia not probable that they have caused any injury to the palms, though the millepedes sometimes eat the tender young fronds of the maid- enhair ferns just as the growth starts from the ground. The browning of the palm leaves was more likely caused by the plant getting dry. A strong fumigating with nicotine will kill most of these in- sects, or a watering with lime water will be likely to drive them from the soil. W. H. Taplin. THE GALL FLY MAGGOT. Will you kindly give us an article on the gall fly maggot, the best way to deal with them in a violet house, etc.? Anything you can give us on the gall fly will bo read with much interest by the violet growers along the Hudson and elsewhere, as this month they are at their Worst. J' M. L. Among plants grown in greenhouses the violet and rose are quite subject to the attack of minute maggots, the young of two-winged flies or gnats known to florists generally as "gall flies." The violet-feeding species is most generally termed the violet gall fly. It is tech- nically known as Diplosis violicola,' and makes its presence manifest in f olded-up leaves of the violet, which are brought together in such a manner as to form what is popularly termed a gall. The insect which produces this effect is quite small and legless, and of a whitish or yellowish color. Its general appearance is shown highly magnified at " d " in the accompanying illustration. The parent gall fly, or gnat, is a slen- der, delicate, two-winged fly which meas- ures about one-twentieth of an inch. It has slender legs and antennae or feelers, as shown in the illustration at "a." The principal characters of the antennte are shown at "b" highly magnified. The origin of this species is not known, but it is quite probable that it has been introduced from abroad, and is perhaps also, like most insects with an indoor habit, of tropical origin. It is common in New York state, especially along the Hudson river, where violets are much grown for the trade, and occurs also southward to Virginia and the District of Columbia. As it first attracted atten- tion in 1896 with the introduction of the so-styled California violet, there is some suspicion that it might have been brought eastward from the Pacific coast. The full life history of this insect has not been investigated. It has been noted, however, that after the formation of the "gall" wet rot is apt to set in and de- stroy the violet leaves; this having the ultimate effect of dwarfing the plants and arresting the development of the flower buds. The opinion has been expressed that this insect develops in the soil as well as upon the leaves, but the probabilities are that the soil-feeder is a different form of insect of similar appearance, the mag- got of one of the fungus gnats. As to remedies, we have no record of hydrocyanic acid gas having been tested against this gall maggot. It should be nearly as effective as when employed for aphides, such as the brown or black aphis of violets. Its use is therefore suggest- ed. When only a few galls are found, they should be picked promptly and burned. When many are present, it hardly seems practical to employ this method. The use of air-slaked lime thrown into the crowns has been advised. I do not, however, know of its effective- ness. The best cultural conditions pos- sible should be maintained, such as good ventilation and frequent stirring of the soil. The free use of Buhach, or Persian insect powder, at the time when the ma- ture gall flies are seen flying about the greenhouses, ' especially on the glass, would also accomplish considerable in lessening the numbers of this pest. • I hope that readers of the Review will report on the effectiveness of hydro- cyanic acid gas or the insect powder if they experiment with these or other reme- dies.

If this crop is intended to folio'' chrysanthemums the plants should be ready to set in the benches as soon as the chrysanthemums are cut. Jf the early varieties have been grown in a bench by themselves the bench they occupy could be planted as goon as it can be made ready and the others according as the benches are cleared. Even although the temperature has to be run a little higher to suit the chrysanthemums, it will not do the lettuce any harm, as the days are still warm and the sun bright. This can be depended on to counteract auy tendency to softness of growth. If the soil is fairly good there will be no need of changing it for the lettuce. In fact, unless the soil is really run out we prefer to leave it rather than use fresh material for lettuce, our experience con- vincing us that it does not do so well in fresh soil, as in soil from which at least one crop has been taken, so we invariably change the soil before setting the chrys- anthemums unless the soil is good enough, with the addition of manures, to carry through both crops. Assuming that the chrysanthemums have been liberally fed, no more manure will be needed for tlie lettuce crop than the soil already contains, but the soil should be well forked up and what ma- nure has been used as top dressing well worked into the soil. And should the soil be anyway heavy through the fre- quent applications of liquid manure, a dusting of air-slaked lime worked into it will help to lighten it up and put it in better condition for the lettuce crop. Successional sowings should not be neglected, nor the transplanting of the seedlings into flats as soon as they are large enough to handle. It is always saf- est to keep a good stock on hand so that there will be no shortage of plants when they are wanted for the benches. It is always safer to have a few plants too many rather than be in danger of run- ning short. Plants in frames will need closer atten- tion in the way of covering at night now that the nights are getting colder. If they have been grown hard a little frost would not do them a great deal of harm but they are much better without it and it does not take long to cover the frames if mats or shutters are conveniently at hand. W. S. Croydon. SOIL STERILIZING. As heavy losses are annually sustained by growers of tomatoes and cucumbers from the attack of eelworms, the follow- ing extract from the bulletin of the United States Department of Agriculture on tomato culture should be of interest to many: "The soil for th-.' { rcdueticn of t:)ma- toes should be well decomposed loam, made, if possible, from the turf from an old pasture, the soil of which is a rather light clay loam or a heavy sandy loam. With this should be incorporated about one-fourth of its bulk of well-rotted farmyard manure, preferably cow ma- nure. By composting these two mate- rials for from four to six months be- fore they are required for use a very satisfactory soil for the forcing of toma- The Violet Gall-fly, Diplosis VioUcoIa. (a— female fly; b— female an tennal joints; c— male genitalia; d— larva; e— breastbone of larva. All much enlarged. ) toes will result. It is not well to allow the soil to remain in the house longer than a single season. It becomes some- what exhausted, and is likely to become infested with injurious forms of life, particularly nematodes, which cause root- knots upon the tomato plants. This trouble, however, can be removed by ster- ilizing by steam. Sterilization can be carried on in boxes twelve inches to fif- teen inches or eighteen inches deep, in the bottom of which are steam pipes with perforations every two inches, the per- forations being about one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter, and so placed that they are on the under-side of the pipe. The pipes are arranged in coils and distrib- uted far enough apart to allow the blade' of a spade to be worked between them. A lid to fit the top of the box should be provided, and the box should be made to hold one or two cart-loads of compost. After subjecting the soil to the action of the steam a sufficiently long time to cook a potato buried in it the soil will have be- come thoroughly sterilized." THE IDEAL EMPLOYER. [An essay by Austin F. Faulkner, Anaoostla. D. C, submitted in the S. A. F. competition and, while not awarded a prize, judged by the editor to be worthy of publication and special mention.] As a prelude, let this fact stand out in bold relief: The employer carries a burden of responsibility that, while he holds the reins, cannot be transferred to another. Having embarked in business, it is his to make that business prosper- ous, meet his financial obligations and preserve his standing in the business world. To do this and yet to be at all times an ideal employer calls for the exercise of high qualities of mind and heart. Though the employer cannot place his business on the plane of a charitable and benevolent institution, his treatment of his employees should be marked by both charity and benevolence. Charity for their unintentional errors and inherited shortcomings; benevolence for those who have served long and faithfully. The ideal employer is prompted, not only by sound business principles, but as an act of justice to his employees, as well, to provide safe and convenisnt fa- cilities for work. Having done this he has the right to expect that his employees wil appreciate these facilities in a man- ner that will redound to mutual advan- tage and profit. He will give very seri- ous consideration to the character of his help. He will not be swayed by politi- cal or religious prejudice; but he must consider those moral qualities which make for good citizenship. An active brain and skillful hands, admirable as they are, cannot atone for the lack of integrity and moral prnciple in their possessor. It must be acknowledged that this is a vexing question, and there is abundant evidence at hand to show that it is one to which many employers pay little at- tention, excepting to safeguard as much as possible their own interests. The ideal employer will use means to prevent the contamination of the pure and innocent by association with the depraved. The foregoing has particular reference to places where many young persons are employed. The employer, during the hours of labor, is their guardian, and it is as much a part of his business to safeguard their moral welfare as it is to use all reasonable means to keep them from bodily harm. Ours is a land on which prosperity has smiled. Poets, orators and essay- ists have portrayed our material advance- ment in rhythmic numbers, in finished diction and convincing statistics. The ideal employer is not in the labor mar- ket seeking retainers, serfs or syco- phants; but on the contrary, he is seek- ing men and women of physical and moral strength, well equipped for the battle of life. He will find many who are equal and even superior to himself in the capacity for physical and mental application. Their work is fruitful with results and his business prospers. He will therefore be profoundly impressed with the fact that his good fortune is in a large measure due to their faithful and untiring efforts for the advance- ment of his interests, and will liberally remunerate them according to their la- bors and responsibilities. He will not only pay them good wages, but will by other means make them feel that he ap- I predates their services and that a bond ■jPffP"**^. „i,uw'j#ininBpwiw»ww-«y.i'J'. -. iw, ' no2 TheWcckly Florists^ Review* OCTOBEU 5, 1005.

P. S. — Owing to the drawing qualities of the Coliseum and the several new features, the attendance at this show is expected to be at least doubirt that of any previous year of mutual interest has been established and cemented. It is unnecessary to here enumerate the cheap and unworthy devices by which many employers put themselves out of the ideal class. It is enough to state that the ideal employer is a high-minded fgentleman or gentlewoman who scorns the tricks of the fakir. Discipline must be enforced; profits must be realized; order and decorum must prevail. But all this Avill be accomplished in a spirit of justice and responsibility. In commercial transactions and manu- facturing there is a third party to the relations of the employer and employee, and that is the patron, customer or buy- er, summarized as the public. Be it food, raiment or other material things, the buyer expects and is entitled to good value for his money. Dishonest dealings cannot be made re- spectable by being labeled as "demands of business." In a western prison are now confined five ex-bank officials, and it would be interesting to learn how many of them began their downward career by placing their distorted views of the de- mands of business before honesty. It is not an ideal employer that condones sharp practice by his employees or cus- tomers. But the ideal employer will impress and enforce fearless honesty on those under him; rendering "unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things which are God's."

The new greenhouse plant of the Metairie Ridge Nursery Co., at New Or- leans, is the largest and most complete of its kind in the whole south. It covers 60,000 square feet of ground, or one and one-half acres. It is equipped with the very latest appliances in heating, ven- tilating and watering. It is strictly a New Orleans enterprise, the company being backed by local cap- ital and headed by southern men. The plant was begun last April and has been in process of building ever since. It is located on Metairie Ridge. Ijouisiana cypress has been used almost exclusively in the construction, and a peculiar feature is that although the tim- ber came from Louisiana swamps, it was found advantageous to buy it milled at Chicago. Over two car-loads of 1^4 -inch piping were used in constructing the heating plant. In glazing the roofs of the houses, two car-loads of glass and over three tons of putty were used, with six tons of white lead in the painting. A large packing and potting house is located to the rear of the greenhouses, 25x165 feet, slate covered. The water is supplied by Bayou Metairie, which pasfes through the grounds. Two large gasoline engines are used to pump \yater into two large tanks, elevated on 30-foot towers. For irrigating purposes, a 6-inch cen- trifugal pump and an electric motor are used. This pump has a capacity of 1,000 gallons per minute, located on the Seven- teenth street canal, and brings the water through 6-inch iron pipes a distance of 1,000 feet to the nursery. It is the aim of this new nurserv concern to grow cut flowers on a scale never before undertaken in the far south. Harry Papworth is president; A. R. Blakely, vice-president; Dr. Isadora Dyer, treasurer, and Charles L. Sieber, secretary. The first roses and carnations from the new greenhouses were cut on September 16. Milwaukee, "Wis. — Louis A.

A great deal of work has been done by the retailers lately on account of the opening of the theatres. The Thos.

The plant business is booming. Many of the wholesale houses now handle palms and ferns and some fine Scottii and Boston ferns are seen. Hicks & Crawbuck, of Brooklyn, have moved into their new quarters at 76 Court street, where they have over 6,000 square feet of space and every facility for a larger business. Frank Millang has recovered from an illness of several days' duration that at one time threatened appendicitis. J. K. Allen has been laid on the shelf a few days with a severe cold, but is again on duty at 6 a. m. William Ghormley, who has been quite ill, is improving and is looked lor at his headquarters daily. Walter Sheridan and family, who have been sojourning at Sea Girt during the summer, return this week to their city home. Siebrecht's white palace is finely stocked and handsomely decorated for the coming season. An abundance of cattleyas from their own conservatories, arranged as a gigantic floral arch, made an effective window. The return of many of the Newport forces to their New York headquarters indicate the close of the season in the city by the sea. Those who journey past Fifth avenue on Thirty-fourth street will see the most novel effect New York has ever beheld in store decoration.

Boses have commanded rather higher prices, some extra fine Bridesmaid and Kaiserin mak- ing up to $10 per hundred. Liberty is selling well at somewhat advanced prices. Beauties are improving in quality, price on these remaining about the same. Car- nations come in increasing numbers, but all clear out easily, rates varying from $1.50 to $4, only a small number going at the two extreme rates. A fair number of single violets are seen, but they are not in much demand yet, about 50 cents per hundred securing the best. Some good Marquis de Mont- mort chrysanthemums have brought $3 per dozen, Fitzwygrams going at $10 to $15 per hundred. Glory of Pacific and Polly Rose are nearly ready to cut with some growers and Bergmann will appear this week. Some asters still come in, but gladioli and other outdoor flow- ers arc about over.

Mr. Mueller has found by years of experience that hydrant water was quite injurious to delicate plant life, so to get the best results he installed his own water sys- tem from his own wells and equipped the entire place with a pneumatic air pres- sure water system and has a reserve tank that is twenty-four feet long and four feet in diameter that he can obtain a pressure up to 150 pounds if so desired. TARRYTOWN. N. Y. The regular monthly meeting of the Tarrytown Horticultural Society was held on toe' evening of Tuesday, September 26. over thirty members being present. The monthly prize donated by John Featherstone, for the best exhibit of dahlias, was won by James Ballantyne, who staged a fine collection of well grown flowers. The F. B. Pierson Co. made a very interesting exhibit of a number of the newer varieties of dahlias and John Featherstone a pretty exhibit of tuber- ous rooted begonias. James B. Scott gave a very interesting and instructive lecture on "Leaves, ' r<'WPP«li|Pii I'lip Ui'vU'W H'hfii MHi uritc. their forms, functions, and uses," illus- trating his remarks by a variety of leaves. After the business of the evening was over, light refreshments were served and the members present passed a very pleas- ant hour with music, singing and recita- tions. W. S. PHILADELPHIA. The Market The warm weather has brought us an abundance of fine outdoor flowers, dah- lias leading. The way these flowers come into the wholesalers and go out, many of them, in the original boxes, is an encour- aging sign, of the growth of our busi- ness. Chrysanthemums are slowly increas- ing, with indications that the supply will not equal the demand for another week. Glory of Pacific, Polly Eose, Mrs. George Kalb, Opab and a new yellow variety are the sorts seen this week. Carnations are improving very decidedly. The tone of the market is better; prices are low and there is a surplus, but a great quantity of stock is sold daily. Dahlias. Samuel S. Pennock submits the fol- lowing list of dahlias, believing that for cut flower purposes they are the best: Crimson Century, Nymphaea, pinkish white; Ami Barrlltet, White Centnry, Record, striped Century; Prof. Mansfield, red or yellow mixed; Frantr Lltz, seml-double, crimson; March of Beebe, May Loomis, Scarlet Century, SIndolt, pink and white; General Butler, Galliard. scar- let; Denver, yellow and red; Standard Bearer, St. George, single yellow; Pres. Vlger, Queen of Belgians, John Thorpe, Henry Patrick, Scarltt Century, Livonl, Twentieth Century, Mrs. H. ,J. Jones, Penelope, pinkish white, double; Mrs. Keith, Lyndhurst, Wm. Agnew, John Ellltch. Carol, Gorgeous, C. Brnton, Arabella, Krlem- hilde. Perle d'Or. Mr. Pennock asks opinions of dahlia experts on the best varieties for cut flowers. Death of Thos. Butler. It is with deep regret that I record the tragic death of Thomas Butler, which occurred last Friday at Rosemont station, on the main line of the Penn- sylvania railroad. A train accident, so dreadful that it is enough to say it was probably painless, has taken from us a familiar figure, whose cheery voice and kindly sfnile will be missed by many. Mr. Butler was an Englishman, first known here as a private gardener in German- town. About eighteen years ago he pur- chased six aicres of ground at Wyndmoor, where he grew early vegetables, some ber- ries and had a small dairy. He was next door neighbor to the firm of Lonsdale & Burton and, remarking, as he has often told me, that he had to work hard while they took it easy, he gradually turned his vegetable frames into greenhouses and soon became a successful cut flower grower. He was successful with La Thomas Butler. France rose and one season in particu- lar his Brunners were the finest in the Philadelphia market. He had, however, a bad year or two, fell behind and was obliged to part with his place. After another change, for a year or more Mr. Butler went into the employ of H. "Wa- terer, seedsman, where he made a decided success, his experience as a grower being useful in his work among the gardeners. Mr. Butler was fond of saying in his jolly way, ' ' Mr. Waterer would be a rich man today if he had secured me ten years ago." The funeral services were held on Mon- day from his late home on Mount Pleas- ant avenue, Germantown. The Chester Valley. Henry Lynch, vice-president of the Dingee & Conard Co., had promised that P. Joseph Lynch, secretary and treasurer of the same great company, would be there and P. Joseph was not there. It was a rash promise, made in the en- thusiasm of the moment, axx^d now it was broken. In justice, however, to the v. p. I am bound to say that ' * f urzino ' ' it is the only promise broken by him. He has promised roses to thousands and tens of thousands of customers all over the country and the promises have been faithfully kept. The exception proves the rule. I do not know whether P. J. Lynch was closing the deal for the brief remaining bit of Telford road still needed, or whether he was "ponying up" at the West Grove postoffice for all those catalogues that now go out In bulk. I use this word advisedly. The com- pany's officials say that there are from 10,000 to 15,000 of them daily. To return, P. J. Lynch was not there, so David had not the opportunity to craek jokes and indulge in sparkling repartee with the 8. and t. Henry Lynch was there; Howard Courtney was there; Ed- ward Parker was there; a host, indeed, who showed the visitors ' ' the home of the rose" with all the honors. In the offices the pretty girls were getting off catalogues in a way to bewilder one. Jonathan was bewildered. The catalogne is looked upon with reverence, for through it the great big world is reached, not only the western hemisphere, but the eastern, too. In cabinets are the cards properly indexed and classified, an invaluable asset. When John Sullivan, of Detroit, was here on his way home from the conven- tion, he experienced some painful mo- ments when looking at these cards. There he saw the names of many neighbors in his far-away home who should have been faithful to him, lured away by the siren voice of that catalogue. Those cards are simplicity itself, just the name and «;Wl^J»fj»l!, ilJ»IJ-!4Jf IWf lUO The Weekly Rorists^ Review. OCTOBEB 6, 1005. Large White, Large Yellow $3*00 and $4.00 per doz.

The Ericsson pumps were working steadily away in a long shed, a shed that was so fresh after its i-ummer furbishing that it reminded David of his nice work- room at home, while Jonathan wished his shed were like it and vowed that it should be soon. The propagating was under way, Mr. Parker headir^g a force of men who were taking and making rose cut- tings. Hybrid sorts are not much fa- vored at this season, the bulk of the stock now going into the sand being of tea blood, more or less. The catalogue was referred to and from its pages was gleaned the fact that the Baby Bambler has the place of honor, while to Maman Cochet in four separate colors was accorded the distinction of a fine plate for the best outdoor rose. Queen of Edgely is largely disseminated at a price a little higher than that asked for American Beauty, a fact which will certainly please Harry C. Geiger should he chance to read those notes. Mr. Parker said that they desired to have 350,000 young roses rooted before New Year's. A part of these were already in small pots. More were in the sand out- side. The wood then under the knife was going into the benches under glass. The general health of the plants was ex- cellent. Chrysanthemums, geraniums and a general assortment of soft-wooded plants and shrubbery made up the assort- ment. Time to go came all too socn. Cheered by a hearty handshake- from the vice- president and from Mr. Courtney, the visitors, reinforced by Mr. Parker, pro- ceeded on their journey. • (To be continued.) Various Notes. The October meeting of the Florists' Club was held on Tuesday evening. The officers elected for the ensuing year were: President, Thomas B. Meehan; vice-president, Fred Hahman; secretary, Edwin Lonsdale; treasurer, J. William Colflesh. A strong combination. William Berger, of Germantown, had the decorations for the launching of the Mississippi last Saturday. The banquet hall wag decorated with choice pAlms. Beauties and dahlias were largely used on the tables. William J. Moore is selling dahlias by the thousands. He reports the demand is for the best varieties. The Millbrook Iiea Greenhouses are beginning to send him some of their fine carnations. Phil was shown exceedingly nice car- nations this week at W. J. Baker's, E. Bernheimer's and the Philadelphia Cut Flower Co., the best varieties being En- chantress, Queen and Fair Maid. W. E. McKissick reports a good de- mand for wild smilax. Edward Eeid had the first yellow chrysanthemums of the season on Mon- day. T. A. Smith, of the H. F. Michcll Co., says the first shipment of Japanese long- iflorums are in and out. Oyster Bay claims two of our most strenuous workers, James T. Clark and Theodore Roosevelt. Myers & Samtman are sending many of their celebrated Beauties to Pitts- burg. "The Ideal Salesman" has proved an unexpected success. The judge will have a lively time. The Leo N lessen Co. has a remarkably strong list of growers of what may be termed the staple flowers. In many cases these growers are virtually specialists, with large areas of glass, a sign of high quality and quantity. William Swayne, of Kennett Square, sent his first chrysanthemums, Mrs. George Kalb, to W. J. Baker on Monday. Dumont & Co. have put the finishing touches on their improvements, a pair of evergreens at the door. Their place is very attractive. Eugene Bernheimer is having a good sale for autumn foliage. Pnii,. BALTIMORE. The Market. The close of the month finds the mar- ket in fair condition, but business is still a little irregular. Eoses arc more plen- tiful and demand is a little lighter than last week. Carnations were never of better quality for so early in the season and demand continues very satisfactory. Now that asters are over, dahlias have a better show and are moving very well, but do not command a very high price; 50 cents to $1 per hundred buys the best. Some shipments of chrysanthemums have been received, but not of very good quality, the price being $1.50 per dozen. "Green goods" are not over plentiful. Various Notes.

Cowell, of South park, is preparing for one of the largest anci finest chrysanthemum shows ever held in this city, or probably any other city. The show will begin about November 10 and will continue for about two or three weeks. It will be held, as usual, at South park, the so-called Albright con- servatory having been reserved for the* event this year. Supt. Cowell, who is ultra-conserva- tive regarding anything he does, is thor- oughly enthusiastic regarding this exhi- bition and goes so far as to say that the approaching show will be more ex- tensive than ever and will include speci- mens of far better quality than have ever been shown before. Kot less than 1,200 plants will be shown. The first chrysanthemum show ever made by the city in the municipal green- houses at South park was held about eight years ago. That was when the flower was on the crest of the first wave of its popularity, and hundreds of Buf- falonians went to the greenhouses and saw the display. The entire exhibit of that year, however, consisted of only 100 plants. In the ensuing eight years Supt. Cowell worked steadily to improve the quality, and each year marked an important ad" vance, with the result that this year's exhibition is certain to surpass all oth- ers. It is believed that thousands of persons will view this year's exhibit where there were oiilv hundreds in the first years. Within the past two or three years fiorists and lovers of flowers from all parts of western New York have made special pilgrimages to South park to see the chrysanthemum show, and this year, of course, will be no exception. ' * There is a revival of interest in chrysanthemums," said Supt. Cowell in discussing the proposed display with a newspaper man. * ' This revival, no doubt, is due to the results that have been achieved in cultivating the flowers in Australia. "Several years ago the chrysanthemum apparently reached the height of its development in this country and in Eu- rope. The growers could not produce larger flowers or get better results in colors than they were getting. That brought the cultivation of the chiysan- themum to a standstill so far as further progress was concerned. "Just about that time some genius took up the cultivation of the flowers under entirely new climatic conditions in Australia. It was just an experiment, but it was a happy one. The seedlings sent to Australia developed beyond all expectations and in due time plants were returned from that country to Europe and the United States, and these plants did wonders when they were grown in the two original chrysanthemum growing countries. "Some of the chrysanthemums which we will show at South park are these Australian products. In many cases the flowers, when their petals are spread out, measure fifteen inciies across. The col- ors, too, are unusually striking, and we will be able to show practically every color except blue." "Why not blue?" "Well, because there are no blue chrysanthemums. Growers of flowers have tried for years and years to de- velop a blue chrysanthemum, but they have not yet met with success. Progress, however, is being made in this direction and we may yet see a blue chrysanthe- mum, just as we may yet see a blue rose, although there is none now. ' * Very few genera of plants have red, blue and yellow colors. If we have the blue, the yellow is lacking, and vice versa. Usually we find two of the colors but not the third. Analogy leads us to believe that we will yet get a blue rose and a blue chrysanthemum ; for instance, we now have the blue phlox, and we are get- ting close to the blue carnation." ELECTRIC HEAT. Electrical heat has not yet been ap- plied to commercial greenhouse estab- lishments although some small private conservatories have been so heated. Elee-r tricity has long been used for heating street cars and for other heating pur- poses when conditions were extraordi- nary, but the expense as compared to steam or water under ordinary conditions is an effectual bar. The cost of electric power varies from 1 cent to 5 cents per kilowatt. When electric power is sold at the lower figure, electrical engineers esti- mate that the cost of heating a green- house by such means would be nearly six times the cost of heating by steam or hot water. Some day the cost of electric power will be very much cheaper than at present, but there is no immediate prospect of any change which will bring electrical heat down to an economical commercial basis.

U12 The Weekly Florists' Review- ^.i-*'" October 5, 1906. KANSAS QTY. There was a meeting of the committee of florists interested in the approaching flower show at Convention hall on Octo- ber 2 for the purpose of finishing the premium list. L. A. Goodman, who has assumed the superintendence of the show, presided at the meeting. Mr. Goodman said concerning the show: "I should say from the great volume of correspondence that has been coming in from the east, as well as else- where, that the show this year is going to be, by great odds, the most successful in every way that has been held here. We shall have every detail as to the premiums arranged soon." At the last meeting of the Kansas City Florists' Bowling Club twenty-three members were present. The club now boasts of thirty-six members. Active preparations are under way to entertain visiting florists during the coming flower show. George M.

Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual meeting will be held at San Jose, Cal., June, 1906. ■ A FEW French bulbs are still arriving at New York. . Owing to the death of S. P. Eees the business of Bees & Compere, Long Beach, Cal., is on the market. The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, has eighty picking machines going full time at present. German radish seed is coming to this country in small quantities, eight bags on the Steamship Batavia, September 29, for a. New York house. The address of C. C. Morse & Co., Santa Clara, is now 815 Sansome street, ^an Francisco, " where they established headquarters OctolJfer 1. In the Chicago district the scattered lots of onion sets that are still in the bands of the small growers are being hustled for in great shape. Reports from the sweet corn growers in Iowa and Nebraska indicate excellent crops for practically all varieties, the late sorts being well out of the way of frost. Nasturtiums, both dwarf and tall in mixture, are short crops, according to reports. The increasing demand for nas- turtiums has not been fully met by the growers. Among the guests of Frank B. White at a recent banquet at the Hotel Astor, New York, were S. F. Willard, Wethers- field, Conn., and Wm. Henry Maule, Philadelphia. The European grass seeds are coming to hand. The last boat from Hamburg had 214 bags of clover seeds and the Co- lumbia from Glasgow, October 1, had twenty bags of grass seeds. French crops of Perfection, Heart- well, and Golden Self-Blanching celeries are reported very short, almost failures. Shumway's Giant musk melon and West India Gherkin cucumber are among the few varieties of vine seeds of which the 1905 crop is practically a failure. In the Liege, 1905, exhibition, Conrad Appel, Darmstadt, received a gold medal for his exhibit of grass, clover and tree seeds and a silver medal for the lawn planted with his seeds. Most varieties of sweet corn, as well as the majority of the varieties of cu- cumber and other vine seeds, are re- ported to be fully eighty per cent of a full crop. S. W'. Woodruff, senior meirtber of the firm of A. D. Woodruff & Sons, Orange, Conn., is critically ill with heart trouble. Watson S. Woodruff was recently called home from the road because of a turn for the worse. Early shipments of Japanese longi- florums are coming to hand, of goo'd quality. The crop is reported adequate, but cost is a little above normal, the same holding true of all bulbs and Other exports by Japan. The promiscuous buying of sweet corn when it was scarce two years ago is re- sponsible for the present surplus that Tom, Dick and Harry expect to have of this year's growth, and which they are offering to the trade. . . - • Visited Chicago: J. Freideborn, of J. Wilder & Co., Cincinnati, en route to California; W. E. Affeld, of A. A. Berry Seed Co., Clarinda, la.; R. W. Pommer, of D. 1. Bushnell & Co., St. Louis; Mr. Wood, of the National Seed Co., Louis- ville, Ky. The Braslan Seed Growers' Co., San Jose, Cal., is going rather heavily into growing canary seed, and Mr. Braslan thinks that seedsmen throughout the coon- Store of the H. L.

An analysis by the U. S. Department of Agri- culture shows this canary grass to com- pare favoTalily with many leading forage grasses. . vf An English authority says that the size of gladiolus corms is not nearly so important as good culture in producing satisfactory results. Liberal manuring is recommended. WEATHER IN CORN STATES. The U. 8. weather bureau's weekly crop summary says: "Highly favorable weather has prevailed throughout the principal corn states. An exceptionally large and fine yield of corn is now as- sured for the much greater part of the com belt and only a very small part of the crop in the north central portion, estimated at from two to five per cent of the total, remains exposed to injury from frost, and this is maturing rapid- ly." ■ tHICAGO SEED MARKET. On the Chicago Board of Trade, Octo- ^ber 3, flaxseed ruled firm with northwest- em markets. No. 1 northwestern was 2 ■cents higher, at $1.03, and No. 1, 97 ^centB. December was 99 cents nominal. Receipts were two cars here, forty-four at MiuueapolJH, and 138 at Duluth. Timothy seed was heavy, country lots ranging from $2 to $3.20, and March, $3.47^8 bid. October was $3.35. Octo- ber clover seed was firm for spot con- tract at $12.75, and $10 to $12.50 for bag lots. AROMATIC SEEDS. In the matter of the protest of H. W. Buckbee, Rockford, III., against the as- sessment of duty by the customs collec- tor at Chicago the following important statement is made by General Appraiser Waite: The merchandise covered by these proteBts consisted of various aromatic seeds, classified under the provision In paragraph 254, tariff act of 1897, for "seeds of all kinds not specially proTlded for," which the Importers contend should have been classified free of duty under paran-apb 548, relating to "drugs, such as • • • seeds, aromatic; • » • any of the foregoing which are drugs." THie Importers submitted their protests with- out offering anv evidence whatever In 8uppor^ of them, merely requesting the Board to ascer- tain the practice in classifying the same mer- chandise at the port of New York. The ■ pepper seed consists of the following named varieties: Sweet Mountain, Kuby King, Cayenne, Long Red Cayenne, Long Yellow, €k>Idet^ Dawn, Celestial, Chile, Red Cluster. 'I\»mato-shaped. The New York examiner of seeds, summoned in compliance with the im- porters' request, recognizes these as simply Tarieties of the common garden pepper, not raised for their seeds, and whose product is eaten as table vegetables or pickles. He states that none of the varieties named is used as a The other alleged aromatic seeds are of the 3700 Acras Gar- den Seeds Calliva- tioa.

Mention The Review when you write. following varieties: Balm, sweet basil, bene, borage, catnip (or catmint), henbane, hyssop, sweet marjoram, pennyroyal, rosemary, rue, saffron, sage, tansy, thyme and wormwood. . All these seeds probably have aromatic properties since the herbs grown from them are aibong the best known aromatic plants. It Is com- mon knowledge also that these plants are used medicinally to a greater or leas extent, though it is not clear that some of them, like sweet marjoram, sage and thyme, are not chiefly used as condinents. But while reference to the United States Dispensatory and other standard authorities shows that the leaves, stems, tops, flowers, or stigmas of most if not all of the plants named are used medicinally or for mak- ing Infusions, decoctions, oils, etc., used in medicine, we have failed to> find a single in- stance where the seeds of these plants are spoken of as being iu official use as drugs. Frequent reference In the United States Dis- pensatory to aromatic seeds which are them- selves used as drugs makes the omission in these cases significant. Thus, parsley seeds are mentioned as drugs in that authority (p. 1570, 18th ed.), as are also dill seeds (p. 174), cardamom seeds (p. 332), fennel seeds (p. 640), and fenugreek seeds (p. 1818), the last four named plants being cultivated chiefly if not wholly for their seeds. The Board has held parsley and dill seeds to be free as aromatic seeds "which are drugs," under said paragraph 548. In re Peek & Velsor, G. A. 5272 (T. D. 24204). It appears from the testimony of the exam- iner of seeds at New York that aromatic seeds of the varieties in controversy in this case, with the exception of the pepper seeds, are at this port admitted free of duty under paragraph 548. The evidence does not satisfy us, however, that the practice at New York is founded upon definite information that the seeds In contro- versy are sold by drug houses or used medici- nally. We find no warrant in paragraph 548 for exempting aromatic seeds which are not themselves used as drugs, notwithstanding they may grow herbs and plants used in medicine. The Board is not Justified In reversing the de- cision of the Chicago collector, which is pre- sumed to have been based upon adequate evi- dence, because of variance in practice with New York, unless the practice at the latter port is shown to be supported by the facts. We con- clude that the importer has not sustained the burden resting upon him to prove that the Cineraria firandiflora. Trade pkt.

D. 25490), Is substantially to the same effect. The protests also relate to two varieties of seeds invoiced as kohl rabi and scorsonera, which the examiner at New York states are well-known vegetable seeds, whose product is used exclusively as a vegetable. The protests are overruled and the collector's decision aflJrmed. C. C. MORSE & CO. Seed Growers 815-817 Sansome Street, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Oarefal grrowera of California ■peoialtiaa.

I have in each house a lV4-inch pipe on the posts on each side, near the gutter, and two other pipes in the peak of the roof. The outside houses each hare an extra pipe along the wall near the ground. J. H. L. I do not understand the arrangement of pipes in your houses but note that the pipes indicated are practically all either near or in the angle made by the sash bars. In general this is not the best position for heating pipes to get the greatest eflSciency from them. Sixteen pipes are indicated in the three houses, two more in each of the sides than in the center house. This is wise, but the sixteen 1^-inch pipes are not sufficient for severe weather. Each of the side houses should have a 2-inch flow pipe in the gable under the ridgepole, fifteen to eighteen inches below it, and ten 1^-inch ;returns. The middle house should have a 2-inch riser placed as above described and eight 114-iDch returns. This is estimated on a 60 degree basis for cold weather. The plan calls for twenty-eight 1%-inch return pipes and three 2-inch flows. L. C. C. A COIL HEATER. I am thinking of building a coil heater out of 2-inch or 1%-inch pipe. I intend to use six runs eight feet long, so ar- ranged that the heat passes as in a re- turn flue boiler, there being three coils in the fire chamber. How many feet of 3-inch pipe will this heat to 50 degrees in zero weather! How many square feet of grate will be needed and what size of flue. G. O. K. The heater you figure constructed from 2-inch pipe will have eighty-nine square feet of heating surface, which is capable of carrying 712 square feet of radiation, which is equal to 775 lineal feet of 3- inch pipe. If you use the same number of 1%-inch pipes of the same length your heater will have correspondingly less capacity. A grate with two and a half square feet in it should be sufficient for this amount of heating surface. A 6-inch flue will answer if hard coal is used; [IGENE BERNHEIMER WHOLESALE FLORIST 11 S0.16TH ST., PHILADELPHIA CHRYSANTHEMUMS, AUTUMN FOLIAGE, VIOLETS. Mention The Review when yon write. GEO. M.

Hardy is building a store with fifty feet front and twenty-five feet deep. He formerly whole- saled his cut but now proposes to go into the retail business. Santa Barbara, Cal. — P. Eiedel, for- merly of Coronado, has leased the Monte- cito Nurseries here. He has about 10,000 ' feet of glass for cut flowers and winter tomatoes and about thirteen acres in general nursery stocks. Business is steadily increasing in this vicinity and his prospects are very good. BURLINGAME, Cal. — Thomas W. Breen, ^ foreman for P. C. Meyer & Co., the Glen- wood Nursery, is the father of a ten- pound baby boy of whom he is vastly more proud than of the fine condition of the very up-to-date place of which he has charge. A house 25x230 planted to the Queen of Edgely rose is not to be equaled on this coast. The plant has in all 140,000 square feet of glass. • PLANTS GROWN TOO SOFT. Some of our largest plant growers make the mistake of keeping their palm houses too close and dark, and as a con- sequence much of the stock that will be offered for sale through the retailers this season will be entirely unfit for house plants. The demand of the public has, of course, much to do with this state of affairs. It is so customary for the buyer to expect a big plant for a very small price that to fill this want the grower has resorted to every device to bring forth something very showy, if not dura- ble, at a low figure. Many of the retailers, after having had poor success in handling goods of this nature, do not keep a stock on hand, but fill up their stores only on the approach of Christmas and when the plants left unsold after that time are disposed of or die no more are bought for another season. The great trouble with this class of stock is that it is grown too soft. I vis- ited one of the large growing establish- ments in this neighborhood within the past week and find this idea being car- ried out more than ever. For instance, Kentia Belmoreana growing in 4-inch pots, probably two years old from seed, stood twenty-four inches high, the leaves drawn up out of all proportion by the hefit and moisture. Those growing in 5-inch pots averaged from thirty to thirty-six inches, standing on benches as close together as possible. The man in charge told me these were being espe- cially grown for the Christmas trade and many thousands of them would be used by the San Francisco florists during holi- day week. This is a great mistake and, although all onr growers do not force their stock in this manner, there are many who do. Very often the retailer, who usually is not very well informed about the grow- ing of house plants, imagines, after he has had the stock a week or two and sees that it is gradually turning yellow, that it was in poor condition when de- livered to him. But I have seen a great deal of it and the difference in the tem- perature of a cold, draughty store and hot, close greenhouses is too marked and the poor plants quickly begin to fade.

Santa Cruz, Cal. It is hardly necessary to add that the customers who purchase the same article have no better success with it and the poor retailer has considerable trouble on his hands from that source. I have men- tioned kentias especially, as they are the best seller, but much other stock is grown in the same fashion. The various varie- ties of nephrolepis, usually quite hardy here, have within recent years been forced so that the retailers do not dare to toqch them. Rubbers, latanias, seaforthias and other half-hardy stock has been served to them in the same fashion. Of course the desire to grow a tall plant in the least possible time, and the further chance to dispose of it at a little less price than some other dealer, is at the bottom of all the troubles. It is a short-sighted policy, however, and one of the reasons why the public has taken so to the idea of using artificial palms in decorations. When a customer, after sev- eral trials, finds out that it is impossible to keep a house plant alive over a couple of weeks, I find they very often get into the habit of filling their jardinieres with those hideous monstrosities I have just mentioned. G. PORTLAND, ORE. i^. 4 Wc are still on good terms with every- body and our only grievance is that flow- ers are not as good as the demand. After a three months' drought we wel- comed a heavy downpour a week ago and since then the weather has been feverish, with frequent showers, and outdoor stock is waterlogged and serviceable only when not subjected to close inspection. Our rural florists, who have but little glass and depend largely on the summer trade, have had a prosperous season. With irri- gation facilities they were able to keep the market well supplied with useful dec- orative material, which found liberal Nephrolepis Scottii Per doi.

Carnations are not yet entitled to honorable men- tion. Violets are a little obstinate and only an occasional bunch is seen. Chrys- anthemums are late this year and we do not expect any good blooms for three weeks yet.

CAL, I am planning to grow carnations benched in a shade house covered with light cheese-cloth. We grow almost every- thing in such houses here, only varying the thickness of the covering material. We can propagate in very warm weather here by running a pipe along the ridge outside, bored full of small holes, into which string is lightly wedged. The water drips from the string to the cloth roof and spreads out very thin, just enough to keep the roof damp, and evaporation does the rest. In this manner one has a very cheap natural refrigerator by which the tem- perature may be kept low enough to keep butter hard in the very hottest weather. I should think something like this would be fine in the east in summer, yet one never sees them there. While I have worked in several places in the east, this is my first experience for myself, and I am very glad one has the privilege of seeking aid from the Reviev?, which is worth several dollars a year, instead of the one it costs. Wm. W. Marugg. SAN FRANOSCX). The Market Business is at a very low ebb. There is nothing stirring in a social way and funeral orders are few and far between. Flowers are scarce. Mums are not yet to be had in quantity, sweet peas are very short of stem, and carnations and roses are slowly coming in season. There is stock enough offered, however, to fill OCTOBEB 5, 1905.

Yates, Roches- ter. The 3l8t annual convention will be held at Dallas, Texas, June, 1906. The American Civic Association and the National Council of Horticulture are in session at Cleveland tbis week. Thos. B. Meehan, of Meehan & Sons, Dreshertown, Pa., has been elected presi- dent of the Florists' Club of Philadel- phia. The forty-fifth annual report of the board of park commissioners of Hart- ford, Conn., just to hand, is a very inter- esting volume. H. Den Ouden & Son, Boskoop, Hol- land, are sending the American trade some excellent views in their nursery, es- tablished in 1869. The apple tree business is not all that it might have been this fall because of small crops and poor quality in the prin- cipal orcharding communities. "When the Gilbertson Nursery Co., of St. Ansgar, removed to Mason City, la., it was with the promise that their prop- erty of some 200 acres should be free from city taxation for fifteen years. Now three othet concerns insist that their property be set outside the city limits, and the upshot may be that the nursery will have to come in. The members of the American Pomo- logical Society who made the trip through the Ozark fruit belt as the guests of the railroads of that section obtained an en- tirely new idea of the importance of that region to the fruit and nursery interests of the country. The United States and a considerable part of Europe now get a large part of their apples from Missouri and Arkansas. SPRUCE SEED SOWN BROADCAST. It is a matter of common observation that evergreen trees spriDg up readily in poplar groves, and hence a notion has become prevalent that spnice finds in such places good conditions for reproduc- tion, and that spruce forests might be started by scattering the seed under the poplar trees. To put the matter to a test, the Forest, Fish and Game Commis- flion of New York, sowed in 1903 about a bushel of native spruce seed in the poplar groves near Aiden Lair, Essex county, New York. The ground was ^uite well covered with poplars which ranged in diameter from four to ten inches. There were no small evergreens beneath them, nor were there any large spruce trees nearby from which seed might be shed. Therefore, any spruce trees that have begun to grow there dur- ing the past three years may be con- sidered as having come from the seed sown. The seed was scattered on the fallen leaves, on decaying wood, and especially on all spots where the mineral soil was exposed, and these were quite numerous. About eight quarts of seed were put on an acre. The seed received immediately several showers, but from April 4 to June 11 no rain fell in the Adirondacks. 50,000 Baby Ramblers Cor tbia Fall and next SpilnK, 2-incta pots 16.09 per 100: $30.00 per 1000. fiOO.OOO SOSEB from 2-iDCb pots at low prices if contract is given now lor next spring: delivery.

In July, 1904, an examination of the ground was made. Where mineral soil had been exposed, and on rotten wood, the little trees were doing quite well, in many places four or five trees being found on a square foot. In other places, however, especially where the leaves were thick, they were rather scarce. But over the whole ground they were probably sufficiently numerous to make an ever- green forest if they all continue to grow. In August of this year the groves were again examined. The little spruces were still alive, and seemed to be about as numerous as they were last year. It is too early yet to form a judg- ment as to the ultimate success of the experiment, and we shall probably learn that the Feed must at least reach the mineral soil. THE SEASON'S OPPORTUNITY. C. E. Gardner, vice-president and treas- urer of the Gardner Nursery Company, Osage, Iowa, writes as follows: "It is our opinion that the nursery advertiser who does not increase his advertising ap- propriation this season and who does not put special energy and thought into his catalogue and follow-up work, will lose a large amount of business he otherwise might have enjoyed. In our mail order department we keep careful watch of general conditions in all parts of the country and one of the very best guides we can get is our own customers' let- ters. From this point of view the pros- pects for the coming season are very bright. Bumper crops almost everywhere and prices will rule high enough to give the average farmer plenty of money for the necessities and some to spare for other purposes. In our own case our company is plan- ning to double our last year's appro- priation for advertising and give much closer attention to catalogue and follow- up plans than ever before. We will add some new papers to the list of mediums used and will also use larger space than heretofore." PEACH STOCK FOR PLUMS. The majority of stone fruits grown in South Africa, such as apricots, peaches, plums and nectarines, are worked either on stocks of the peach, peach almond (a cross between the peach and almond), or the almond. Plums worked on either of the above stocks make much finer growth, are more fruitful and succeed better from all points of view than if TWPP"WWJ»?^!!W»"?T»T»W?W OCTOBKK 5, 1005. The Weekly Florists' Review* 1127 worked on the plum stock. The only va- riety that does not do so well on the peach is the Green Gage. The peach has one great advantage in that it does not ■"sucker up" like the plum. Some are under the impression that the peach stock has a dwarfing effect on the tree; such is not the case. They grow far more vig- orously on the above-mentioned stocks. In some districts of the dry Karroo, and especially where the land is constantly irrigated, trees worked on the almond are preferable; they do not suffer from root rot, as is sometimes the case with the peach. — Gardeners' Chronicle. PEONffiS FOR CUT FLOWERS. I -would be pleased to have a list of the best kinds of peonies, all colors, that will be suitable for cut flowers and that will be in bloom early enough in south- western Pennsylvania to use for Decora- tion day. I, V. K. Peonies are riot to be depended on in western Pennsylvania for Memorial day; sometimes the Old Bed is ready; sometimes not. Last year the Pittsburg market did not have local peonies until the first week in June. Usually Memorial day supplies in all cut flower markets are from southern growers. As to varie- ties, the peony committee of the S. A. F. recommends the following as the cream of the immense collections for trade pur- jJoses: Festiva maxima, Pottsii alba, M. Jules Elie, Livingston, Delicatissima, Richardson's Rubra Superba, Couronne d'Or, Louis van Houtte and Dela- chei. Others would say that for cut flower purposes such sorts as Quren Vic- toria should be included, and objection might be made to some of those in the above list on the ground that they are among the newer varieties and therefore too high priced for planting in quantity. The objection, however, does not hold against Queen Victoria, which is probably more largely grown for cut flowers than is any. other one variety. H. O. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

L The Queens-Nassau fair last week was a great success, both in point of exhibits and in attendance. The most striking feature of the main hall was the splen- did pyramidal collection of seventy-five varieties of palms, ferns and decorative plants of John Lewis Childs, of Floral Park, which occupied the central stand under the dome and covered 250 square feet of space. Some of the big palms in the center rose to a height of twenty feet. Mr. Childs' general exhibit, which was tastefully arranged by Adolf Jaen- nicke, manager, comprised nearly or quite half the entire floral department. The display of fruit was the largest ever seen on the grounds and the display in the vegetable tent fully sustained the repu- tation of old Queens county as the home of market gardening. The display of thirty-five varieties of evergreen trees by the Cottage Gardens Co., of Queens, was an attractive feature of the grounds. It included Colorado blue spruce, Japanese cypress, boxwood, arbor-vitsB, ten varieties of junipers, biotas, rhododendrons and a lot of decidu- ous trees. In the center was an Indian wigwam made of white birch from Michi- gan forests. Hicks & Son, of Westbury, also had an attractive exhibit of nursery stock. Easton, Pa. — Paul O.

CINCINNATL TheMai^t Business still continues fair, but it is not up to last year. Not only is the de- mand not up to last year's mark, but the supply of stock is also lacking. Better things are to be hoped for now that cooler weather is due. Jewish New Year brought forth a little rush, which helped out greatly, but there is very little in prospect at present. It looks as if the chrysanthemum is re- quired to start the flower-buying public at the winter gait, and now, as they are gradually becoming more plentiful, busi- ness will doubtless pick up. The mums coming in are neither so very large nor so very good to look at but they are the first of the season and they sell. Eoses are coming in heavily and some of them are very poor, being full of mildew. Carnations continue to im- prove in quality and their numbers are increasing. They Fell out clean. Asters are almost gone, and in their place is the dahlia. This beautiful flower is selling better each year and I believe that in a few years it will be right up with the aster as a seller. Gladioli also are done. There is lots of cosmos this year and the store-men all have their win- dows full of it. The supply of ' ' greens ' ' is about equal to the demand. Various Notes. Peter Weiland's partner, Mr. Olinger, is in the city looking for a house. He will bring his family here shortly and will then actively engage in the manage- ment of their wholesale house. I regret to report the death of the mother of oUr brother florists, Tred and Wilham Geari Her death, -yvhile feared to be approaching, occurred when least expected and was a great shock to her family. Interment took place on Wednes- day. Dr. Howald and wife, of Atlanta, Ga., were callers Sunday. They were on their way to Delaware, O. W. N. Budd, of Chicago, and E, J. Fancourt, of Philadelphia, were callers. The next regular meeting of the Flo- rists ' Society will be held Saturday Octo- ber 14, at 8 p. m. sharp! There will be a general discussion on our regular flower shows and all members are requested to be present and offer suggestions. C. J. Ohmer.

A CARD , . ..^, CATALOG Upon Request C. C. POLLWORTH CO., Milwaukee, Wis. CAPAQTY OF BOILER, I am building a range of seven short - span connected houses, six of them each 13^2x100, the other 20^^x100, eleven feet to the ridge. I wish to grow carnations in Milwaukee climate. I have a No. 19 Hitchings boiler and a lot of 4-inch cast- iron pipe, but not enough for piping all. I would like to put in stedm with same. What size of boiler will I need and how would you arrange the piping! Would it be good policy to arrange the 4-inch cast-iron pipe along the walls and carry the steam supply along the ridge and re- turn under the benches? O. S. You are undoubtedly fully aware that it is impracticable for you to use the 4-inch cast-iron pipe for steam heating. I infer that you wish to make a combina- tion heating plant;, i.e., you intend to install the hot water boiler you have and use the 4-inch cast-iron pipe in connection with this boiler for a part of the houses and to supplement this with steam to pro- vide the additional heat required. Such ■a combination can undoubtedly be made but as you do not state the amount of 4-inch pipe you propose to use I can only base the answer to your question on the capacity of the boiler you have. To heat the plant with hot water 4,000 feet of radiation -will be required. To heat it with steam 3,000 feet of radiation will suflBce. Your No. 19 Hitchings boiler is rated to carry 2,300 square feet of radia- tion. According to this the boiler you have is about half as large as is re- quired to do the work. ' L. C. C.

OIL TO PREVENT RUST. The question of oiling or painting heating pipes to prevent rust has been discuseed pro and con but is yet unset- tled. Some weeks ago I had 2,000 feet of 2-inch pipe, new from the factory, thrown on the ground in the open air. The season here has been very wet and as a result the pipes were wet most of the time. On placing them in position for heating I find them rusted more or less (mostly more) except near the ends, where it is readily seen there had been oil of some kind. This oil was there as a result of machine work in threading at the factory and extended from three to eight feet from the ends. There is no sign of rust. I do not suppose this oil would withstand steam but I hardly think hot water heat would bum it oflF. Will some of the brethren state their ob- servations on this point? The plumber tells me that the oil in question is lard oil. S. C. T. The lard oil which adheres to the pipes as the result of its use in threading the pipes will soon be dissipated by the heat of a normal hot water system. Such light oils cannot be relied upon to serve as a preventative of rust. If grease of any kind is to be used it must be one of the heavy fluids from the refinery or a mica grease. Asphaltum varnish is the best protection against rust but not a desira- ble material to use on radiating pipes. L. C. C. PIPING THREE HOUSES. I intend to build three houses 20x100 to heat with hot water to 52 degrees when it is 20 degrees below zero outside. How many feet of 114-iDch pipe will it take? T. W. B. It will not be safe to use less than fourteen runs of 1^4 -inch pipe in each of these houses if they are detached. If they are constructed on the ridge and furrow plan; i. e., connected and without partition walls, a little less piping can be used in the middle house. L. C. C.

The Weekly Florists' Review* 1153 THE RICHMOND ROSE. Something About Liberal Treatment. A few morths ago we told a number iif people that Kichmond rose would t njoy a "liberal" treatment. Recently we have heard of one or two cases of Kichmond not growing vigorously "even though they had been given lib- eral treatment, as directed." An inves- tigation of one case of this kind shows that the plants when received were jtotted into 3-inch, establishing quickly and growing vigorously in these pots. At the proper time they were shifted into 4-inch and, before having a chance to grow much in this pot, were planted ill the bench. All this is so commonplace to the careful grower as to be axiomatic, and its. only bearing on the case in hand is to draw attention to the mistakes which were made later. The soil used for planting was a beautiful, heavy, fibrous loam which had been treated to a good (lose of half rotted cow manure in the ])roportion of one to three. Excellent stock in excellent soil. But from this time on strict attention was paid to the hint received from the raisers of Rich- mond, and ' ' liberal ' ' treatment was ac- corded them; that is to say, the entire mass of soil in the bench was heavily watered every few days. After two months (or about August 20) noting that the plants had grown but little and were making a rather weak break, a good dressing of bone meal was ap- plied and followed by a mulching of cow manure. The heavy watering was cortinued, with the result that at pres- ent the plants are but little larger than when planted. One result of advice given with the best of intentions and followed "not wisely but too well." A Few Timely Hints. Nevertheless, in response to your re- quest, we will try to give a few hints on the handling of Richmond rose, drawing on an experience of three years with the variety. It is too late to make suggestions about summer cul- ture ; however, if the grower has only remembered that in transferring a plant from a 2-inch pot into the bench he is performing an operation equivalent to repotting that same 2-inch plant into a 12-inch or possibly 13-inch pot, and has treated them accordingly, then there is no doubt about their condition thus far. If even an inexperienced grower had re- potted a plant as suggested from a 2- inch to a 12-inch pot, he would just naturally have been careful not to give too much water until the roots had filled the pot, and the plant had grown to a size in proportion. A depression around the plant and plenty of water applied in this depression, with none at all, or as little as possible, on the remainder of the soil, would have insured the de- sired result. If properly handled, the plants of Richmond, even those received in May, should now be strong, vigorous plants, two to three feet in height, making heavy breaks, with a showing of ground shoots. If this is the case and the plants are in shallow soil they would thoroughly enjoy a miitch of manure not too fresh. This is not essential^ especially if the soil was rich in the; start. '. Don't Cut Too Long Stems. ^ Several things are important, how- ever, and not the least is to resist the temptation to cut blooms with big,^ long, stems in early fall. Three good eyesT should be left on the plants of Rich-" mond rose at this time of year. To; growers of Liberty this will sound like; heresy, but Richmond will make as good" a break from the third, fourth, or even, the fifth eye on long shoots, and will do it quicker. Also, as winter approaches,^ as many leaves as possible are needed on the plants. Another point in this connection; Richmond will make a few; blind shoots; do not cut them back; let them break naturally from the top. eye and this second break will form a bud which can be cut with a good stem. Temperature. It is hardly necessary to warn grow- ers to avoid the causes which lead to mildew and black spot, but as the cool' nights come along do not run the Rich- mond house too hot. It will be neces- sary during the moderate weather, and especially damp weather, to carry a temperature of 60 degrees or above with air, to avoid moisture gathering oiT the plants, but as the season advances we have found that the Richmond does best in a night temperature of 56 de-i grees. In the latter part of October and during November the plants will be throwing canes from the bottom.' Quantities of such shoots will show and,, if allowed to grow naturally, will de- velop magnificent buds which can be cut with stems two feet long. To Get Quantity. However, unless your trade is willing- to pay extra high prices, it will be found advisable to nip the top out of the heavy shoot when it reaches a height of ten to twelve inches, in which case three and sometimes four fine buds will develop and can be cut with 12-inch to 18-inch stems, thus producing a much greater quantity of medium grade flow- ers. When to Cut the Buds. Ore of the most important points which must be learned in connection with Richmond is how to cut the buds. Blooms, Reduced in Size, Showing the Way the Richmond Rose Develops. U54 The Weekly Florists* Revicwr OCTOBEB l2, 1905. One criticism which has been frequently directed against this variety is its lack of fullness. This very characteristic, if the buds are properly cut and handled, becomes a point of merit rather than a fault. To prove this statement allow me to call attention to the fact that we have never seen a "bull head" or malformed bud,,, have never had a bud stick or re- fuse to open in dark weather. The rapidity with which the buds develop in the dark months of winter is a direct result of this characteristic. That Eichmond is a wonderful keeper has been proven beyond dispute, but to accomplish this the buds must be cut at the right stage of development. The rule is, do not allow them to begin to uncurl the petals upon the plants if you want them to keep well. It is our aim to allow the buds to attain their growth on the plants but cut them be- fore they begin to expand. The lower illustration on page 4 of our spring trade list shows the proper stage of development for cutting Richmond bet- ter than any description. They may be cut ifluch tighter than this for long shipmepts and will undoubtedly per- fect their flowers. As to keeping, packing and shipping the buds, the right way for Bride and Maid is the right way for Richmond, and the best way is none too good. Not a Finical Rose. As was said in the start, we believe that Richmond enjoys "liberal" treat- ment, namely, plenty of air, plenty of sunshine, plenty of water, good, rich soil, and fertilizer, either as liquid or mulch, before that soil is exhausted. It is a mistake to class Richmond with Liberty. Richmond is not a "touchy" rose to handle, it has no fads and foibles ; coddling will make it sick, neglect will ruin it, but the same intel- ligence and ability that will produce good Bride or Maid will produce fine Richmond. If your Richmonds are not growing well you may rest assured it is not the fault of the rose, for disinterested par- ties who have been in a position to ob- serve the variety closely, agree that it is one of the most satisfactory roses to handle, one of the quickest io respond to good treatment, pf all the forcing roses. If yonr plants have been starved, start using sufficient water to make the latent plant food in 'the soil available. If they have been overindulged, go back to a natural treatment and give the roots a chance. If you allowed the young plants to stand around in small pots two months before planting, just take your medicine and don't say any- thing. If they are doing well, ^ keep them on the jump and you will cer- tainly fall in love with Richmond rose as we have. ,.,-.>,; ' Fred H.

The Panels Changed to Ousters. The clusters shown herewith contain the same kind and number of flowers as their corresponding panels presented in last week's issue, except that there is less extra foliage in these two. First com- pare the two carnation bunches. The first argument advanced in favor of the solid panel arrangement is its size. By actual measurement the second is as long as the first, and its widest part is equal to that of the first. Otherwise the claim must be admitted. The first is larger than the second only because more ferns are used. But upon what picture does the appar- ent amount of paint and oil determine the value t It is rather how much life shines out of the canvas. Then it remains to be seen whether the second is more natural than the first. Three points immediately bristle up. First, the easier grouping and scattering of the carnations, which it cannot b^ denied is natural; second, the irregular outline of the cluster, being restful and attractive; third, the carnation foliage discarded from the first being placed where it belongs, at the base of the sec- ond cluster. To diverge a little, this use of the natural stems in full view is one of the principal charms of a good cluster of flowers. Their natural length adds to the graceful lines and balances the apparent weight of many flowers tied together. To hide the good, healthy foliage and stems with which nature has garnished the flower, is a perversion of good taste. After applying these three tests as to the naturalness of these two clusters, the conclusion can be safely left to the reader. Taking up a comparison between the rose panel in the preceding issue and the rose cluster in today's Review, one sees the same formal arrangement in the former as was observed in the first car- nation piece. ,In the first panel of roses we find a monotonous, heavy, inactive ^ ' ^ ^ mmSm Wf\ iJir ^^^^^^ / ^. ^^^^l^v^DI^^H^^A»>S'^^\ v. , * - ^^C\ A Ouster of Carnations Showing Some Originality on the Part of.the^Operator.

No differ- ence is made out of respect for the size and character of the flowers used. On the contrary, observe the same roses employed in a long, slender spray in today's issue. Toward the stem end of the spray the roses are grouped closely and boldly around the stems and foliage instead of all on top as in the panel. Different views are had of each flower as the eye follows toward the tip of the spray, where Asparagus plumosus forms a cloudy air, where the roses are more widely scattered and half concealed in the faint and misty lines of green. There is an active, wind-tossed air to the spray which marks it as a character- istic conception. This example is not given as a type to be widely copied and adopted as a prevailing style, as the panel has come to be, but simply as one of the many suggestive and expressive forms into which an equal number of roses might grow. But somebody might volunteer as an argument in favor of the rose panel, its showiness. By the latter term no doubt is meant true attractiveness, rather than obtrusive and gaudy display. Nine times out of ten the latter bunch would be noticeable among a score of the former, on account of its novelty, if" not for its suggestion of wild freedom and life. The panel represents the trade, the spray the professional. The same mechanical skill employed in the first might accom- plish much more in a strictly mechanical - sphere. Neither is it necessary to learn to make the first before making the second. Following the rule outlined in the Re- vraw some months ago a beginner can find plenty of plans for clusters and sprays in the character and bend of some one or two of the long-stemmed flowers which are at hand for immediate use. The habit of "seeing things" might as well be cultivated from the start. It has a commercial value in that it helps one to be prepared to do anything in his line on short notice. It certainly pays to do one 's own thinking on one 's feet, rather than to worry through volumes to find out something that somebody else has done in a similar case. To conclude: We florists are photog- raphers in a way; the flowers in the first two panels are the photographer's sub- ject, raw and embarrassed. The portrait taken mechanically is the first product, the panel. No fault can be found with the workmanship; the light may be per- fectly adjusted to shade; the picture is true to life as the operator found it. But here is another photographer who is able by sally or sympathy to awaken the better and finer traits so that they shine out through the face and figure, and by enticing the man away from himself for a moment he catches a better portrait than the first operator. The second set of clusters are the portraits of the flow- ers inspired to express the best there is in them in a much more natural and at- tractive pose. Gertrude Blair. or perhaps, the groundwork of one thing and a few ' ' stand-ups ' ' of another. One of the prettiest bouquets he has seen lately was made up of Liberty roses. ' ' There was a good ground of Asparagus Sprengeri, and some trails hanging down. The roses stood out well with their own foliage. Though finished off as a shower bouquet, most of the flowers stood out on their own stems, and one point was, that there was no wire seen ; even those on the drooping trails had a natural look." Some years ago there was much said about bouquets being too large, but like the ladies' hats, they seem to Increase in size rather than diminish. Small flowers are not much wanted, except lily of the valley or any- thing that can be used to stand up among the larger flowers and foliage. LONDON FASHIONS. Purple asters are now much used by leading London florists for the ground- work of wreaths, crosses, anchors, etc. These, worked in close, with a few bold white flowers standing up, are quite the fashion. Much less green is used than formerly, except where a design is composed principally of foliage, with a bold bunch of flowers standing up on one portion only. A writer in the Hor- ticultural Trade Journal says that he recently saw a large cross made up en- tirely of Lilium lancifolium album, with the buds standing above the open flow- ers, and that the same firm often make up designs composed of one subject only. TO OUR READERS. The Review receives so many letters from readers who express, in warmest language, their very evident satisfac- tion with the paper, that its publishers i\rt' sometimes almost at the point of believing the Review is all that a good trade journal should be. Indeed, there is, in addition, many times repeated, that "sincerest form of flattery" to show that the Review is most fully meeting the wants of the trade. Yet it cannot be that there is no more room for im- provement. Now, highly as the Review appreciates the kind words of those who tell us how much the paper is worth to them, what wc would really like to get is a lot of candid, sensible, temperate fault-finding letters; letters pointing out weaknesses; letters of suggestion, indicating wherein the Review can be strengthened to bet- ter fulfil its purpose of interest and help- fulness to each and every branch of our trade. The Review does not agree to publish these letters, as it sometimes i.'!- ''w'rf^Ty^KiT^ U56 >'!*»4.';i.

And you appreciative ones, tell us how we may impress upon the heedless the largeness of the value we are already giv- ing for the subscriber's dollar; there are yet a few remaining to be enlisted. TWO BUSY WEEKS. The first week in November will be a busy one for those who wish to take advantage of the big shows to put their novelties before the public eye, for in it will occur the four largest exhibitions of the year. The shows at Philadelphia, Cnicago and St. Louis open on November 7 and continue five days. The Boston shoW^ opens two days later and continues over Sunday and Mpnday of the follow- ing week, which will of itself be no less crowded so far as western exhibitions are concerned, for the Kansas City exhi- bition, after a lapse of one year without a show, is scheduled for November 13 to 18 and the Indianapolis affair, on broader lines than ever before, is set for November 14 to 18. It will, indeed, be an active fortnight for exhibitors, and many will wish to take the fullest possi- ble advantage of the opportunities, for prospects were never brighter for a sea- son of successful shows. air-slaked lime in these places. Oi bright, warm days each week fill tho house with clouds of grape dust, thii about ten or eleven o'clock in the mori;- ing.

Though it is not policy to produce a large cut while the chrysanthemum holds sway, there is a demand for good carnations, as always. The returns are comparatively small at this time of year and on this account some growers are apt to neglect disbud- ing, claiming it does not pay. This is on a par with the idea possessed by some j hired help that not being paid to do cer- ] tain work, it should be avoided, with the result we all so well know. The primary object in disbudding is to aid in increasing the size of bloom, but this is by no means the only benefit de- rived from the practice. It helps to lengthen the stem and also aids materi- ally in increasing substance or stiffness ; then, too, the removal of surplus buds and growth must necessarily reduce the drain on the plant's resources. By all means carry on the operation regularly and persistently from the first if you Avish to reap full benefit. It is important that these side buds be re- moved as soon as they can be readily caught hold of, also by a side pull that no injury be done to leaf or stem. But do not be in too much of a rush, as there is such a thing as erring on the side of too early removal, especially in the case of those clope under the main bud. It seems in taking the bud off too soon, more or loss of a wound is made in the stem, causing a contraction of tissue during the process of healing, resulting in the main buds turning to stand at an angle. Stem-rot. I This Reason has brought the usual trouble from that dread disease, stem- rot, and there have been the customary inquiries as to treatment. Prevention [ is the best remedy, but with all one can j do, weather conditions are sometimes such j that we are at a serious disadvantage. | Given strong plantf=^, not over-rich soil, j ii tight roof and ample means for supply- I ing and regulating a constant circula- tion of air through the house at all times, the rest lies with the man behind the gun (water) and he can do more damage in a given time than all the weather men, forecasters, observers, etc., put to- gether. A plant once affected is doomed. Pull it out at once, removing also a quantity of the surrounding soil, leaving the ex- cavation open to the sun and air for at least a week before resetting with an- other plant. Sprinkle air-slaked lime and sulphur over the soil and do not be afraid to let a little lie up around the necks of the plants. Keep the surface soil open by frequent light rakings. Allow no surplus water to lie in the paths or under the benches. Sprinkle THRIPS. I am sending a carnation bud. Tli;; plants seem healthy but the flowers lool. half asleep when open and do not amouii: to anything. The soil is a sandy loam, to which I have added bone meal quitJ liberally. We have been burning red pepper and tobacco stems for the thrips. Can that have any effect on the blooms f D. A. L. Your plants are suffering from the ravages of thrips and you would better get after them in earnest at once. The bud you sent was pretty well dried up by the time it reached me, but I could see that it is a Lawson bud and edged with those white spots. I would advise you to discontinue the burning of red pepper and tobacco, and, in fact, it will pay you to discard the smoking alto- gether as old-fashioned. Use instead one of the tobacco extracts for spraying; you will find them more effective, cleaner and safer for your plants. When you begin give an application every morning for ten days and then ease off by giving an application twice each week until you get rid of the thrips. After you are rid of them once you can keep them down with one spraying each week. Greenfly will never appear on your place if you spray once each week according to direc- tions, I have recommended this method so often and elaborated on its advantages so much that I will not repeat it all again at this time, but try this method and I know you will not return to the back number method of burning tobacco stems. A. F. J. Baur. KEEPING THE BLOOMS. The continued bright weather this fall is rushing the flowers along very rap- idly, and with some varieties it will be necessary to store them away in order to hold them for the shows next month. When the plants are growing in pots or boxes this storing away is simplified, since all one has to do is to move the plant bodily into a cool cellar. Where the plants are growing in the bench the flowers must be cut with good long stems and placed in barrels in the bottom of which is a foot or so of water. If the stem is at all weak a" stout bamboo stake should be tied to it before placing it in the water, so that the flower will stand upright, as the stem will take up the water very much better than if the weight of the flower had bent it over. The ideal place to keep the blooms is a moist cellar, with some means of ven- tilation, and a certain amount of light, to keep the foliage from turning yellov.. and where an even temperature of about 40 degrees can be maintained. In sui 'i a place if the water is kept fresh aid sweet by being changed every few day; . flowers can be kept in perfect conditii n for two or three weeks if necessary. It is always better to cut the flowe •? just a shade before they are at thi' r best, if they have to be kept for ai ^' length of time, than to leave them i' the plant until they are past their be^ .

Let well enough alone, as the last watering with liquid may be the means of spoiling the flower. If the plants are in small pots I have fed them with safety until the flowers were half way open, but it takes a good deal of experience to determine jyst how far one may go in this direc- tion. Heavy feeding at any time does a plant more harm than good, since it rots the root fibers, as can easily be seen by turning the plants out of pots, and others must be formed before the plant can assimilate the food supplied. One is more apt to overdo the thing with chemicals than with natural ferti- lizers, since the first named, after being dissolved, are colorless and odorless and look just as harmless as clear water. Watering and Fumigating. The times of saturating the bench are gone and the plants, as they finish, need less and less water. Only water on bright days and then in the early morning so tliat all superfluous water has dried up before night.

PUBUCATIONS RECEIVED. [The Chrysanthemum, by Arthur Herrington; the Orange Judd Co.; 50 cents.] The many friends of Arthur Herring- ton have had their patience rewarded this week. Mr. Herrington 's chrysan- themum book is out. Those who know the thoroughness with which Mr. Her- rington applies himself to any under- taking were prepared for something of wider scope and greater detail, not to say higher finish, than has heretofore been accomplished and they are not dis- appointed. The work is one which goes exhaustively into the culture of the chrysanthemum in all its phases, treat- ing each detail at greater length than it has been done before in America and embodying the results of Mr. Herring- ton's many years of experience with his favorite flower. There are also chap- ters contributed by C. H. Totty, E. G. Hill, F. P. Davis, E. A. Vincent and others and the volume of 158 pages is not only fully illustrated, in many cases from Mr. Herrington 's own photographs, but it is also fully indexed, which is a point of no small value in a work of reference such as this is. One is interested in Mr. Herrington 's outline of what he proposed to make this book. In his introductory note it is said : ' * The subject as a whole is an alluring one and it is no matter for sur- prise that some writers have let specu- lative fancy run riot among the recorded facts of the chrysanthemum's gradual evolution. " It is natural to infer, then, that this is a work in which fancy has had no part. ' ' The endeavor has been to show that not in secret arts or prac- tice, but in a plain course of procedure, are attained the results as demonstrat- ed" by the most successful cultivators. There is no question but what a work of cultural directions such as this will have a large sale, which will be added to by Mr. Herrington 's wide acquain- tance and by the fact of his good work as president as the Chrysanthemum So- ciety of America. Those who wisli to receive a copy of the book, which is substantially bound, will receive same postpaid if they send a half-dollar to the Review. Smith 's Chrysanthemum Manual sent postpaid for 25 cents. Lincoln, Nkb. — Chapin Bros, have finished reglazing their greenhouses. It took over 4,000 panes of glass to replace those broken bv hail. NECESSITY FOR CLEANLINESS. I suppose that everybody who plantej a house of violets last spring, for the coming season, has been painstaking and thorough in the care of them; however do not think that they are in such good shape that you can afford to neglect them for a few weeks in order to get the fall work done ready for Jack Frost, for close attention is needed fully as much now as at any time, one great reason be- ing that if they get out of condition in any way at present you cannot regain lost ground now as you could earlier in the season, when good growing weather prevailed. Look out closely that no aphis of any kind gets a foothold. If you have not already spread your regular feast of Paris green and granulated sugar for the benefit of the sow bugs, stray snails and centipedes, do not fail to do so at once, and then it is well to follow it up at comparatively short intervals, because, as I have often remarked, they are ex- tremely expensive company and have no redeeming features that I am aware of; their room is much more to be desired than their company. Again, unless you have a demand for very early flowers, it is much better to keep the first early buds picked off and not let them come into bloom until yon have a good demand, and then, too, the first are so inferior in quality that it is a detriment lo your reputation as a first- class grower to let such go out from your establishment. At the same time that you are disbud- ding, carefully cut off all the runners, only leaving your strong flowering crowns; in fact it is to be supposed that you have done this at regular intervals all sumiuer. This is something that is a constant job but growing less from now on until the springtime approaches, with the quickening in growth that ac- companies the sun.

You will ako find some dead and yellow leaves that should be re- moved, but while at all of this work, for t!ie coming months, you will be cheered by their fragrance; it has been very no- ticeable for several days past, whenever we came into the houses, and as violets without this are worthless, too great care cannot be exercised in preventing foreign odors of any kind in the houses anywhere that the blooms may be placed or carried, for they absorb with seeming avidity «very little odor, good, bad or indifferent that comes anywhere near them. As any contamination makes them worthless, don't even let anyone smoke while near them, for if you do your customers will say, as I have heard a florist friend of mine say before now, * ' W-h-e-w ! I smell tobacco." While some may like — yes, perchance, enjoy — the same, I have yet to see anybody who favored a mixture of violet and tobacco odors. Now, while it may seem as if I were over-insistent on these matters to the beginner in growing violets, still I think every old grower will bear me out when I say that you cannot be too particular in these points if you wish to hold the best trade. R. E. Shuphelt. FINE CYCLAMENS. On visiting the private greenhouses of Oeorge Urban, Pine Ridge, Erie county, N. Y., where Theodore Venneman is gardener, some time last Februrary, 1 was struck with the beauty and culture ■of several two-j'ear-old cyclamen plants and mad? a request that one or two of them be photographed and now show you the result. The writer does not remem- ber ever having seen more perfect or b3t- ter flowered plants. In the group of three plants the smaller jilants are two well flowered one-year-old plants in 5-inch «r (J-inch pots. They were such cycla- niciis as any commercial man might be Proiul of, but merely figure in the pic- ture to give you a more correct idea of tl"' qualities of the older plant than ^'ly wordy description could do. The ^"igle plant was slightly handsomer than the large one iu the group, having larger I'ldividual flowers, -^Ir. Venneman said that after these plants flowered in 6-inch pots they were stood on ashes in cold frames, in May or early June. They were given little •'Ji'tt'ntion, but never allowed to get dust ^''■y. In early August they showed signs «i again starting into growth, both baf ^"'l root. A little of the old soil was carefully picked away, but the started roots were not disturbed and the plants were shifted into 8-inch pots. They were still left in the cold frams and shaded during the hottest hours until the end of September, when they were brought into the house and shifted into 10-inch, the size of pot they flower in. They were grown indoors on a side bench of a carnation house, where the temperature was probably a litth over 50 degrees during winter. As I looked at these magnificent plants I remarked, "We have customers who would give us $10 each for them," and that is true, for their beauty was almost irresistible. Surely there would be a handsome profit at a little less than a "ten spot." You may sell fifty of the one-year-old plants to one of these beau- ties, yet a few dozen would be well worth growing. When the boss felt ugly and fretty and out of sorts with everything, a visit to these cyclamens would be most cheering. Wiluam Soott. THE CHICAGO SHOW. Chicago is prone to defer action in many matters until the last moment, then to take off its coat and hustle and achieve success in a whirlwind finish. Such has been the story of a number of its most succesf?ful flower shows and in this par- ticular history promises to again repeat itself tills year. A late start was made but every indication points to the best sliow ever given in the west, if not in the whole United States. This is not even excepting the very successful World's Fair show of last year. Those charged with the management of the Chicago show have hesitated to tackle so large a proposition as the Coliseum. This has been talked of year after year, as other halls have proved inadequate to the needs of the occasion. But the Coliseum is so much larger than any other building in Chicago that it has heretofore been considered out of the question. However, last year's accom- modations were so much more than ever inadequate to the needs of the exhibi- tion that when the Coliseum management came forward with a very reasonable proposition, because of an unoccupied week, the deal was closed in short order and everyone is glad that at length Chi- cago will have room enough for all the exhibits supplied. The accompanying illustration gives an idea of the character of the building. It has more than an acre and a half of floor space besides galleries with seating accommodations for several thousands of persons. It is the building in which the horse show is held each year and in the spring Ringling Bros.' great circus, spends a month in this building. The preliminary premium list for the Cliicago show carries upwards of $5,000 in cash prizes and a number of special premiums are being arranged for and will be announced shortly. With the as- surance of the largest attendance ever known at a Chicago exhibition the big growers are preparing to make larger ex- hibits than ever before. M^anager Asmus has already heard from a large number, but there is space in plenty and every- one will be more than welcome. It is hoped to have every item of seasonable stock represented and to make the show one which will have an after effect on Cyclamen in 10-inch Pot, Grown by Theodore Venneman. 1^ U60 The Weekly Florists' Review* October 12, 1905. trade far greater than the great good which has resulted in previous years. The Chicago Florists' Club has already announced its intention of entertaining visiting members of the trade on Thurs- day of flower show week. Vegetable Forcing. English cucumber forcers have for several years suffered heavy losses through the ravages of a spot disease which frequently destroyed whole houses of plants and for which no remedy has been discovered. But several varieties have now come to the front which are heralded as ' ' spot proof ' ' and which, if they prove true to the description, will be worth large sums. One man is selling a large crop of seed at $25 an ounce. SOILS FOR HEAD LETTUCE^ In the Eeview of June 15 I noticed the following question: "Will some one give us a reason why the growing of head lettuce under glass has never been suc- cessful in the Chicago district?" One of the principal reasons why head lettuce is not grown in the west is that the texture of the soil is quite different from that of the Atlantic seaboard. I imagine another reason is that the curly, or Grand Eapids, lettuce is better liked in the west and consequently better adapted to the market than in the east. The Atlantic coast soils, or truck soils, as they are called, are noted for contain- ing a considerable amount of coarse sand and a small amount of finer constituents, such as silt and clay. When eight or ten per cent or more of organic matter is added to this soil it makes an excellent medium for growing vegetables. This soil is very looge and friable, and it is not difficult to run one's hand under the surface for a considerable distance with little effort. On the other hand, the western soils are much heavier and more compact, and on this account they are unsuitable for growing head lettuce. Lettuce is very susceptible to soil tex- ture. It is necessary, even in the germin- ation of the seeds that they should be provided with air; hence they v^ffl" ger- minate much better in a loose soil than in a compact one. The roots of the young seedlings and mature plants also require air, such as is furnished in a loose soil. I have numerous photographs showing results of experiments with lettuce that illustrate the influence of loose and com- pact soil on seed germination and the de- velopment of the plant. Young lettuce seedlings will remain stationary for weeks in a soil of fine texture, and they even- tually die from " want of root aeration. In order that the influence of texture of the soil in the development of lettuce may be brought out more clearly I refer the reader to the following table: Table showing the influence of soil texture (coal ashes) on the germination of lettuce seed and growth of plants; 200 seeds used in each box. Percent Av. wt. in Size of particles. germination milli^'ms, (Coal ashes.) of seed, of seedlings Box l-( 2- 1 millimeters fi5.6 26.1!> Box2-(l-.5 •• 68.0 23.52 Box3-(.5-.2.5 " 38.5 12.98 Box4-(.25-.l " 33.5 7.<6 Box6-(.1-.0001 " 18.0 5.50 In this experiment, which was made in coal ashes sifted through sieves, we have eimilar conditions as regards plant food. The experiment was made in boxes eight inches square, there being the same amount of soil in each box. The boxes were weighed daily and the moisture contents of the medium in which the plants were growing were brought to the same degree of saturation. The fac- tors, therefore, likely to rise through the influence of variation in the amount of plant food, and the percentage of mois- ture contained in the soil or ashes on growth are eliminated as far as possible in this experiment. From this table it will be seen that there is a marked dif- ference in the number of seeds germi- nated and in the size of the seedlings grown in different sized particles, the finer particles preventing germination and retarding growth. This difference is due to the amount of air and oxygen con- tained in the medium in which the plants are grown, or, in other words, the amount of aeration which the seed and seedling received. The following table showing the me- chanical analysis of some different soils Nos. 27 and 54 are Connecticut valley soils, in which fine particles predominate. Nos. 9 and 17 are coast soils and espe- cially suitable for market garden pur- poses, and in particular for the growth of head lettuce. Of the two soils, Nos. i) and 17, we would consider No. 17 the bet- ter adapted for lettuce, inasmuch aa coarser constituents predominate to a greater extent than in No. 9. However, both soils are excellent for this purpose. On the other hand, the Connecticut valley soils, Nos. 27 and 54, will grow head let- tuce after a fashion, but they are not by any means so well suited to this crop. These soils, on account of an excess of very fine sand and silt, become compact even when provided with a considerable amount of organic matter. These soils, moreover, do not contain a sufficient amount of air space for the development of lettuce. What is true of the Connecticut valley soils is also true, as we understand it, of the western soils, although the western soils may not predominate in fine sanda Hatch Ex^ckihent SrATioN.or ths Mass.

One can obtain a very good idea of the mechanical prop- erties of a soil by considering the gravel, coarse, medium and fine sand in one series, and very fine sand, silt and clay in another series by themselves. Where the larger particles predominate, such as gravel and sand, we have a good market garden soil suitable for m-^st vegetables, but where the finer particles predomi- nate, fine sand, silt and clay, the soil is not suitable for many vegetables. A soil made up of coarse particles has not the water retaining capacity that one has composed of finer particles. but the silts and clays may be higher. There are probably many places in the west where a good, coarse, sandy soil may be obtained, and with the addition of large amounts of organic matter they could no doubt be made suitable for growing head lettuce. There are probably no climatic conditions to hinder the grow- ing of head lettuce in the west as suc- cessfully as in the east. There are un- doubtedly some difficulties arising through lack of skill in handling the crop, inasmuch as it cannot be expected that the western gardeners, with much less experience in growing head lettuce, can compete at first with the eastern gar doners who have practically created and TABLE SHOWING MECHANICAL ANALYSIS OP SOILS.

George E. Stone. THE IDEAL SALESMAN. [An essay by Amelia R. Shaw, of Brooklyn, •.warded first prize In the contest originated and , oiiducted by the Review correspondent at PLUa- jelphla.] It would almost seem that we were liv- ing in an ideal age to note the demand lor ideal employers, ideal employees, ( tc. But we must not lose sight of the Vact that ideal people of any class must necessarily belong to an ideal condition of society — which condition can be ijrought about only by an ideal "govern- ment of the (ideal) people, for the (ideal) people, by the (ideal) people." The ideal salesman, like the ideal em- ployer (and other ideals) has not yet l)een evolved, because conditions, up to the present, have not been altogether selection and leaves the decision to the salesman then must this latter discharge the task conscientiously, while not los- ing sight of his employer's interests. Above all must he be loyal to his em- ployer. If he cannot conscientiously be so, then let him seek another master, one in whose service he may not be com- pelled to lose his self-respect. For there is nothing more degrading to a man whose character is upright than to be obliged to serve one whose methods in business are not up to the standards of honest men. Secondly, the ideal salesman must be possessed of personal magnetism, with- out which, indeed, ft is impossible for any one to succeed in any pergonal dealings with his fellowmen. It is much more, for the time being, than mere honesty, for it is the quality that first attracts, then persuades, and finally dominates, and every man, woman and child on the footstool is susceptible to its subtle in- fluence. If, therefore, Mr. Flowerman, you have an employee behind the counter Hatch Expciumcht Station of the Mass.

But this is no reason why we should not attempt to depict what, in our judgment, may present an acceptable picture of the highest type of salesman which the fu- ture may possibly have in store for us. An ideal salesman is one who is most successful in attracting and holding cus- tom ; while, at the same time, inviting the respect and confidence of all those who have any dealings with him. He must, in the first place, be honorable as well as honest, with the balance of conscien- tiousness always in favor of his em- ployer. Let it be remarked here that we do not wish to be misunderstood. The salesman is hired to sell the goods of his employer, for the benefit of his em- ployer. He is not a public servant. It 's not his place to advise or guide cus- tomers in the purchase of said goods. The retail salesman is not selling upon ippresentation, as the goods are there ^o speak for themselves, and the buyer has a right to ufe his own judgment. 1 f the latter be no judge of the freshness of the flowers or of their appropriate who is magnetic, honest and not lazy, you should thank your stars, and do everything within reason to keep him; for this quality (magnetism) like ' * charity, covereth a multitude of sins. ' ' I think intelligence comes next in the order of practical usefulness — intelli- gence in his special line of work, and in this he cannot be too learned or profi- cient. But, although he may be ever so profoundly versed in horticulture, yet if he be not ready to use that knowledge for commercial ends, or if he be more interested in the study and scientific re- search of these beautiful creations of the horticulturist's art, he may as well shut himself up in the ice-box with the ob- jects of his adoration as to hope to be of any practical service to his house. Let him give of his knowledge sparingly, but always correctly, and let him never fail to keep foremost in his mind the practical results, especially in the long run. He must not fail to remember that he is there to help build up the business, 'and make a permanent success of it. The ideal salesman should also have a fair amount of artistic judgment, so a» to be able to advise as to the selection, combination and arrangement of flowers. He should be able to estimate shrewdly in the case of a decoration, and to influ- ence the choice of a customer without appearing to do so. This latter faculty includes tact as well as magnetism. Another essential natural gift in a good salesman is a memory for faces, names and details. The average cus- tomer who has been in a store once likes^ on a second visit, to be recognized, as well as remembered by name. It is as natural as the appetite for flattery. Per- haps women customers appreciate this- more than men, as more attention is gen- erally given them and they naturally ex- pect more notice and consideration. A salesman who knows how to greet cus- tomers with just the proper degree of friendliness without familiarity, at the same time manifesting a personal inter- est in serving them, has already done much toward securing and retaining their patronage. The salesman who is interested in the promoting of his employer's interests will never hesitate to take hold with a will at all times, and in cases of emer- gency is ever ready and willing to lend a helping hand in whatever department it may be needed, no matter how late the hour. With regard to the traveling salesmen, the above qualifications are still more es- sential, but there is something more to be said. The ideal traveling salesman will not think it necessary to "treat" a customer in order to get a good order, not because of meanness, but because he will be too normal and healthy a sped- man of manhood to have any intimacy with the flowing bowl, and also because with his tact, magnetism and agreea- bility, he can accomplish his purpose without the aid of conviviality. Being perfectly able to transact business with- out the need of stimulants, he will not insult his patrons by practically imput- ing to them any such weakness. But he will be very careful not to condemn where he cannot sympathize and so give oflFense to none, while retaining the good- will of all. COUNCIL OF HORTICULTURE. Plans for National Effort. The first regular meeting of the Na- tional Council of Horticulture was held at the Hollonden hotel, Cleveland, Wednesday, October 4. Meeting with the representatives of the preliminary organ- ization were the delegates from the American Association of Nurserymen, the Society of American Florists and the American Seed-Trade Association. The occasion of the meeting was op- portune, it being the week of the annual meeting of the American Civic Asso- ciation, and the public sessions of this body, and the consultation afforded with its officers, made clear to the delegates, of these national societies, the possibility and the great opportunity for exploiting horticulture through the public press, aside from the Horticultural Council work which seemed to promise great and im- mediate results in all lines of work. The possibilities of the work of the council were discussed in considerable de- tail; its standing in case its influence might be needed in a national way on questions of customs, postage or like work with the transportation companies; its f9W U62 The Weekly Florists^ Review* OcTOBEU 12, 1905. power internationally considered on ques- tions of nomenclature and other siniiJnr lines. The delegates from the national bodies above mentioned, while having no au- thority to bind definitely their organiza- tions, did, however, express themselves as fully patislied that great benefit might accrue to their societies through the plans proposed if rightly worked out, and all pledged themselves to recommend to their respective societies that a union on the general plan outlined by Profes- sor Bailey for the formation of the coun- cil in July last, be carried out as early as practical. Publicity Bureau. But the question of promoting horti- culture in a broad way on the nursery, florist and seed lines appealed so strongly to those present that it was decided (pending the action of these three socie- ties themselves at their next annual meet- ings, which will not occur for many months) to make a good preliminary trial of the proposed press news by means of private subscriptions to be taken up from the leading members of the above trades, firms largely interested in horticulture in their respective lines. To this end a letter was ordered to be prepared, which should be sent out under the heading of the national council and signed by its officers, the letter to the leading florists to be signed and sent out by Philip Breitmeyer, representing the Society of American Florists, by J. H. Dayton, of the Storrs & Harrison Co., for the American Nurserymen's Association, and by C. E. Kendel for the American Seed Trade Association, It was believed that by means of such letters requesting a nominal contribution from prominent firms, this experiment wliich has worked such wonders for the benefit of the American Civic Associa- tion, could be tried in a similar way for horticulture, and the results when laid before these associations at their next annual meeting would afford them good and reliable data on which they could intelligently decide regarding their sup- port of the proposed national council. Those Present. The meeting was greatly aided by the advice of J. Horace MacFarland, j)resi- dent of the American Civic Association, and I). J. Thomas, of Springfield, Ohio, of the same association, and who is to be credited with the preparation of much of the news matter which has been sent out by that association. J. C. Vaughan acted as chairman of the meeting, and H. C. Irif^h, secretary. Among others present during the sessions were C. E. Kendel, J. F. Sullivan, J. A. Griffith, Philip Breitmeyer, J. H. Dayton, J. Horace MacFarland, Wm. Gammage, 1). J. Tomas and Adam Graham, Letters and telegrams were read from Prof. John Craig, Prof. L. H. Bailev, Prof. L. R. Taft, Wm. Scott, T. C.

It may be briefly stated that dra- ca;nas of the terminalis class are propa- gated by means of cuttings, the latter being procured in quantity from old stems or canes of these plants. The canes of Dracaena terminalis are imported from the West Indies chiefly, and are sold by the foot, the sections of stem being of various lengths. These canes are laid down on a propa- gating bed of light soil, or sand and sphagnum moss, and almost covered with the soil. With a temperature of 70 to 75 degrees and plenty of moisture they will soon start shoots from the dormant buds, these young shoots being cut off when a few inches high, and then treated {■s cuttings by planting them in sand in Please stop our advertisement in m for it would take a million plants to fill orders and a lightning sten- ographer to answer letters if we kept it going. You certainly have a paper that is closely read by the trade. A. A. PANTET & CO. Fort Smithy Ark., . Oct. 1, 1905. South Muscatine, Ia. — The Kemper greenhouses are being enlarged and, when the improvement is completed, will cover 8.5x200 feet. It takes 525 hot-bed sash to cover the new structure. The plant is used for vegetable forcing. the same warm house until they are nicely rooted, the latter process occupy- ing about three weeks. When rooted the cuttings should be potted off into 2-inch or S-inqh pots, ac- cording to size, kept warm and moist and protected from the sun for a few days. Some fine plants of dracajnas are also secured by taking off the tops of those plants that have lost some of their lower leaves, the tops having been nicked with a knife and then mossed up after the same method as that practiced with ficus. Dracaenas of the indivisa type arc propagated from seeds, the latter being offered by most seedsmen, and if fresh will germinate freely, while those much used species known as Dracaena San- deriana and D. Godseffiana may both be multiplied readily by means of cuttings, these rooting in two to three weeks in a warm greenhouse. W. H. Taplin. Westfield, Mass. — Henry Barton has added a house 12x100 feet and installed a large new boiler. New Bedford, Mass. — Israel Malan- son has bought out F. H. Pasell and is doing a satisfactory business. PuRCELLviLLE, Va. — The firm known as A. B. Davis & Son has been incorpor- ated. C. L. Robey is president and E. F. Robey treasurer and manager. The min- imum capital stock is $25,000 and the maximum authorized is $50,000. The business will be continued as before. CHICAGO. The Market. There are varying reports as to the state of the market this week. Some houses say that business has shown sonu- recef^eion, while others report things still on the up grade. Whatever weakness there may be is generally attributed to the very warm weather. The Beauty crops have come along rapidly in the past week and there are now large supplies, rather more, in fact, than the demand calls for, and prices are considerably weaker. Quality was never better at this season. The cuts of small roses do not show the increase apparent in Beauties. Receipts are about as they were last week, some stock excellent, but too many short-stemmed and soft flow- ers; however the best grade is advancing in price in proportion to the improve- ment in quality. E. G. Hill says that all the growers are cutting Richmond too soon for best results later, but some very fine flowers are now to be had. The carnation market shows little change, although prices are perceptibly weaker. Quality is improving slowly and stems are lengthening but the flowers are soft because of the heat and there is considerable complaint as to the car- rying qualities. Outdoor stuff is prac- tically gone. Violets are principally from the east, arriving in very poor condition. Chrysanthemums began coming in heavily this week and prices are lower. A few pink are seen and plenty of yel- low and white are to be had. The de- mand is not what it was a week ago, but the quality of the stock is much better. The call for ' ' green goods ' ' continues active, but there is no trouble in filling all orders. , The Jewish Holidays. The Jewish holidays are just past. You ought to get F. C. Struvy to tell you about them and .their effect on the flower trade. For many years Mr. Struvy has run a store on the southwest side, where the bulk of his trade is among the Rus- sian and Polish Jews. He has studied their religious customs until he knows not only to the day but to the hour when they will call for flowers. He now has two stores and does much the larger part of his work with roses, principally white, and there are wholesalers who subscribe to his assertion that he handles more roses than any other two stores in town.

Budlong may well claim to be the champion long distance bicycle rider of the trade. He makes it a practice to ride all the way to his old home near Providence, B* I., every year. If he for any reason fails of a trip one year, he rides both down and back the next trip. It is 1,150 miles by the shortest route. His recent trip was the twelfth time he has wheeled the distance. It takes two to three weeks, according to the condition of the roads. George Reinberg's place is said, by recent visitors, to be in not only about the best shape it has ever been but in about the best shape of any in town. A novel cutflower holder is a good seller with the E. F. "Winterson Co. It consists of a low glass bowl in which sits a cylinder of glass. Through the cylinder are twenty-four small holes. Put some water in the bowl, stick the stems of the flowers in the holes, and there you are, every woman her own florist. E. C. Amling says it makes him feel quite well satisfied to hear people tell how slow business \» to start up this un- precedentedly warm fall, for he has found October thus far quite a little better than the same period in any other year. Bassett & "Washburn are cutting one of the largest crops of Beauties they have ever had and Mr. Washburn says that he never had the pleasure of handling better stock. About twenty per cent are extra long, with few shorts. Mrs. C. M. Dickinson underwent a serious surgical operation Monday morn- ing and is convalescing nicely. A. L.

All the parks are preparing free chrys- anthemum shows for the first week in November. N. J. Wietor says that in his judg- ment Lieut. Peary is the coming white carnation. Wietor Bros, are also cut- ting good Burki and Bountiful. The A. L. Randall Co. is receiving shipments of eastern orchids. They say the cattleyas go nicely but that the other varieties are not known or wanted. J. E. Jensen, of Jensen & Dekema, spent last week in visiting St. Louis and points in Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana. He saw considerable good stock but re- turned confirmed in the belief that his firm's carnations, which are doing splen- didly, are not surpassed anywhere. McKellar is receiving some especially fine cattleyas just now. Muir had a big wedding decoration Monday and Samuelson had a fine one Wednesday. Trade is gradually getting under way on the south side. H. Luedtke has had more or Jess trouble the past two winters in heating his plant at Maywood. Last season he put in a new boiler but it didn't help, so this season he is going to use hot water under pressure.

Inquiries as to stock have already been made. The bowlers will play this winter in the Illinois league, at Anson's. The first session was on Tuesday night. The team at the start is the same as at the Wash- ington convention but is open to change if new talent develops. Last Thursday night the florist bowlers to the number of nearly a dozen were the guests of Capt. A. I. Simmons and the Seventh Begiment bowlers at Tattersalls. It was a merry evening. The regular quarterly meeting of the Horticultural Society was held at the Auditorium Annex Tuesday afternoon. The executive committee had a session of several hours, acting on routine mat- ters for the approaching show. Edgar Sanders celebrated his seventy- eighth birthday October 10.

Inqui- ries are already coming in for lettuce, which is wanted nine months in the year by quite an extensive home trade. Car- nations are looking well. Surplus stock is scarce in this section of the country and hard to get to fill vacancies cansed by stem-rot, which has been bad this year. BOSTON. The Market The quantity of flowers arriving con- tinue?: to increase steadily, a heavy pro- duction being caused by the splendid weather we have had during the past fortnight. Chrysanthemums are coming in more plentifully and make a notice- able difference to carnations. Very soon they will also affect rose prices seri- ously. The varieties arriving include Bergmann, "Willowbrook, Monrovia, Marquis de Montmort, Polly Rose and Glory of Pacific. Prices vary from $8 to $16 per hundred. American Beauties continue to sell well and the best grades have shown a slight hardening tendency. Brides, Maids, Kaiserins and Liberty are all coming of good quality. Best Maids have reached $10. Short-stemmed stock of all kinds moves very slowly. Cai^ations are much more abundant and have slumped a little in price. Vio- lets, both single and double, are arriv- ing quite freely, 50 cents per hundred being a fair average price. Some good lily of the valley comes in. Prices on this show no change. Some asters and gladioli are still seen and from shel- tered locations a good many dahlias still arrive, selling very well. There is no change in green stock. Various Notes. Montrose Greenhouses are handling very fine Bride, Maid and Liberty roses at their stall in the Park street market. Herbert C. Tyler is their new salesman and fills his post very eflBciently. Malcolm Orr, as usual, led the pro- cession with mums this season. He grows mostly early varieties and follows them with sweet peas, which he grows finely. Anderson & "Williams are about the only growers of Bouvardia Humboldtii for the Boston market. It sells well at the stores just now and deserves its popularity, for it is far the best of its family. Peonies and sweet peas will form two important shows in Boston next season. Quite a number of new classes are added for each of these flowers. The Boston Mycological Club contin- ues to have large and interesting exhib- its of fungi at Horticultural hall each Saturday, which attract many visitors. Oakes Ames, R. G. Leavitt and A. Eaton, of North Easton, sailed for Eu- rope on October 9. They will visit botanic gardens, horticultural libraries and noted herbariums in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna and other cities. Houghton & Clark had a prettily ar- ranged window the past week, composed of cattleyas, crotons and adiantums. Circulars are out for the meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club on October 17. Superintendent Pettigrew, of the Boston park system, will speak on parks and gardens of Europe and their development as seen in his recent trip. A reception for members of the North Shore Horticnltural Society, who will attend in a body, will be held at 7:30, the regular meeting commencing at 8 o'clock. There will be some inter- esting exhibits, tnusic and refreshments. Applications for membership continue to come in and everything points to the club having the largest membership of any similar organization in the country ere the year closes. The attendance on October 17 will break all records. It is many years since we had such a magnificent fall. For over a fortnight cloudless skies have been the rule. The tints on trees and shrubs are superb and certainly our New England climate at this season of the year is incomparable. Of course croakers tell us "we will suf- fer for this later on," but we naturally expect some shadow after such a glori- ous spell of brilliant weather.

The firm, in common with innumerable green- house owners, has felt the need of a tool which would hold on irregular surfaces. Having found and patented an article which they feel fully meets the require- ments, they are now putting it on the market and find it sells like hot cakes, not only to florists, for whose use it was especially designed, but to all classes of people having to do with steam or hot water piping. The peculiar construction of this tool is such that it will not only take hold on ordinary pipe surfaces but by means of the "Y" shaped jaws it will take a firm grip on irregular surfaces, such as beaded fittings, valves, flanges, etc. Wm. K. Kroeschell, speaking with a wide experience, declares that there is no other wrench which will hold these ir- regular surfaces. The Kroeschell Co. has published a neat catalogue descriptive of their new wrench which they will doubtless be glad to send to anyone interested if he ad- dresses them at 51 Erie street, Chicago. P. Kaul's mums are all that can be desired. In pinks he speaks very highly of Dr. Enguehard. L. L, M. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. Warm, sunny weather has brought in a quantity of flowers such as this mar- ket has never seen. "Were it not for the holding back of the knowing ones, we should be fairly swamped. As it is there are far too many flowers to meet the demands of a very fair business and everyone hopes that Jack Frost will be here before these lines are read; thai is, everyone except the dahlia men, who are reaping a great harvest. Never were dahlias so popular. Chrysanthe- NEW ORLEANS. The weather has been very rainy for the past eight or ten days. This time of the year is generally a dry season, which IS somewhat better for outdoor chrysan- thoniums. No doubt some of the stock has been damaged in low places. 1'he exact time and place of the flower show have not been decided as yet, but the strong support of the Sunshine As- sociation is an assured fact and this will Dinke the exhibit a grand success. l"'ie German Gardeners' Club had its monihiy meeting last Wednesday at the nail at Carondelet and Third streets, president Paul Abele was in the chair.

Gardenias, orchids and valley are in fair supply and good demand. Greens sell poorly. Violets are more plentiful but have not yet rounded into form. The Ideal Salesman. Twenty-one essays mailed on or before September 30 reached Phil. A glance showed that two of these were duplicates. The judges found the re- maining nineteen full of ideas and giv- i ing evidence of painstaking effort that made their task very difficult. The plan adopted was to omit all reference to the grower, the decorator and what the salesman ought not to be, sticking closely to the point. This proved very hard on some of the longer essays. First read- ing showed that a number of the com- petitors had brought out the points of honesty, tact, knowledge, courtesy and care of the employer's interest, but only one, No. 7, brought out magnetism as intensifying the other good qualities. This point of magnetism, or personal- ity, the judges believe distinguishes the ideal from the ordinary salesman and is by no means rare today. A second reading of the better essays confirmed this opinion and No. 7 was awarded first prize. The contest for second prize was spirited. No. 1 was a terse statement of qualifications under four heads, strongly put. No. 14 was a practical account of the qualities that should be possessed by the best salesman. No. 15 dwelt especially on wide-awakeness and judgment in directing the customers' choice. No. 16 expressed some good ideas, especially what the ideal employer might do to make the ideal salesman, while No. 20 was a clear synopsis of the necessary virtues. It was finally decid- ed that second prize should be awarded to No. 14. The opening of the envelopes contain- ing the names of the competitors showed that first prize was won by Amelia R. Shaw, of Brooklyn; second prize won by P. Welch, of Boston. Several of the competitors' names were found to be on stamped envelopes addressed to themselves, probably for the return of the essays, which are, how- ever, the property of the Review until as many as practicable are published. The duplicates were explained by the writer, fearing the first copy would not reach its destination. Phil heartily congratulates the win- ners on their success. He is greatly sur- prised and pleased at the widespread in- terest taken in the subject and hopes ■■n- ■ r ■,'»;"'«!TyfS^f^1l.V ^:^.'VJ^:,':t^~'fgfW- 1166 The Weekly Florists^ Review* OCTOBKU 12, 1900. that a careful perusal of some of the essays will lead to a higher standpird among our salesmen. The Chester Valley. David aud Jonathan decided, the bet- ter to see all they could, to indulge in — no, not an automobile — a carriage and pair from the West Grove stables. Ed- ward Parker consented to join and cheer them by the way and, as it chanced, to learn a little of his adopted country and the good people thereof, Morris, the driver and owner of the pair, proved a veritable Jehu, the party bowling out over the Telford in style. By a two to one vote it was decided that Roney Bros.' carnations and Benja- min Connell's ferns were ''not for Jo- seph." Alas, time forbade. More's the pity. So they trotted out past West Grove, Morris describing how the near horse could trot in 2:38 or better. Un- luckily the "far" horse could not stand that racket. Jonathan's bluff at buying that near horse was promptly called by Morris. Past Avondale; scene of one of David's best stories — you really ought to hear that story. It seems that certain Philadelphia horticulturists of a jovial turn once visited Avondale and, after seeing the horticultural objects of inter- est, one of them said they were thirsty. Their host immediately left the room, while they waited in pleasant anticipa- tion. In a moment, to their horror, they heard the creak of the pump handle! Into Toughkonamon— have I spelled it aright? — where the first stop was made at Walter Yeatman's. The houses are devoted to tomatoes on the benches, growing nicely for a winter crop, and to mushrooms under the benches and in a shed, just starting. The proprietor was absent. The next place was that of James Chambers, who has a lot of glass for carnations, eniilax, asparagus, etc. Mr. Chambers was hard at work, but feeling a little low in his mind. His best man was away at a sister's wedding and the houses were not yet filled. David sympathized with him. David has a big heart and felt that even he would have been sour-balled under such adverse conditions. David is a good judge, hav- ing weathered many trying experiences. N. B. — David is not a commission man. After a few pleasant words with Mr. Chambers the party drove still further from the main road, up one of those pretty country lanes bordered by pretty bits of woodland and always the fertile fields and homelike farmhouses that mark the picturesque Chester valley. A turn in the road brought the visitors to Lawrence Thompson's place described as one of the most modem greenhouse l^lants in Chester county. (To be continued.) Various Notes.

The Market Business has been rather quiet the past week and will most likely remain so as long as the present warm weather con- tinues. While good roses are quite plen- tiful carnations are still rather scarce. Chrysanthemums are seen, but only in small quantities. Qub Meeting. The regular meeting of the Florists' Club was held October 4, being very well attended. Ernest Herman was unani- mously elected a member of the club. After the cigars were passed by Ferdi- nand Kolbe, "a new boy," the regu- lar work was begun. The question box contained such ques- tions as ' ' What effect will the mixing of lime and bone meal have on roses if ap- plied as a top dressing to the soil?" "What will get rid of thrips?" "Is it advisable for a retailer or commission house to handle plants or flowers grown by amateursi" These questions brought out some lively discussions. It was decided to invite the Toledo florists to accompany the Detroit boys on a trip to Mt. Clemens. The president appointed two committees as follows: Auditing, Bobert Flowerday, Albert Bemb, Jerry Stock; entertainment, W. H. Brown, John Dunn, Hugo Schroeter. Norman Sullivan was appointed li- brarian. Various Notes. Philip Breitmeyer and J. F. Sullivan nave returned from Cleveland very much ""pressed with the work of the Ameri- an Civic Association and hope in the near future to have a similar organiza- 'ion in this city.

Business in cut flowers was exceeding- ly dull in all lines the past week. Deco- rative work for store openings and fall weddings kept some of the stores quite busy. The retailers say there is lots of room for improvement before we can say that the florists in our city are busy. The weather, too, is against the busi- ness. It is too warm. It will take a good frost to make things go as they should. At the wholesale houses the past week stock of all kinds and grades was plen- tiful. Chrysanthemums are as yet scarce in this market. More are promised for this week and they should sell for the horse show. Roses of all kinds are im- proving in quality. Extra fancy Beau- ties are going to waste for want of de- m?ind. The same can be said of other roses. The increase in sale on the day of the Veiled Prophets' ball was not as great as in former years. Many of our local growers are send- ing in first-class carnations. These seem to soil bettor than roses; still the de- mand is such that many are left over. Violets are of bettor quality. They will need colder weather to be first-class. Cosmos is now very fine. Lily of the valley has some call. Tuberose stalks are very ])lentiful. Smilax is abundant, other greens the same as usual. Decorative plants are selling fairly well. Variotis Notes. J. E. Jensen, carnation specialist, of Jensen & Dekema, Chicago, spent a few days here the i)ast week. C. Miller, who recently bought out John Burk at Grand and Finney street, has sold out and will retire from busi- ness. The Plant Growers' Association held its regular monthly meeting Wednesday. John M.

Eisfe, an old time florist, died October 7 at his residence, 4812 N. Broadway. Mr. Eisse was well known among the local florists. J. F. Windt's show house was look- ing at its best the past week. A big lot of extra fine carnations were seen, also a nice assortment of decorative stock. The Ellison Floral Co. had the con- tract to furnish nine complete tables decorated for the Simmons Hardware Co. for the opening of their china de- partment this week.

"The oldest inhabitant" cannot re- member a more beautiful October, but it is not the weather that makes busi- ness and to all but the dahlia growers it is most unwelcome. Monday was sim- ply charming, not a cloud 'in the sky, warm enough for straw hats, and stock of every kind abundant. The chrysanthemum is here and as^- serting her prerogatives with no uncer- tain sound. Magnificent stock in white, yellow and pink already makes the re- tail windows beautiful. "With the ad- dendas of orchids, tritoma and violets and the splendid background of the many varieties of nephrolepis you can imagine how little need the New York- ers find for flower shows, when every prominent retailer has one of his own, so attractive that even blase society stops to view the entrancing color com- binations. Fine prices arc realized for the best mums, as high as $5 a dozen. But the flood has already broken over the dykes and the inrush can already be felt on every side. Six steady weeks of the beautiful stream without cessation and then the real New York season will be- gin. Eoses of all kinds are abundant. The finest of the Beauties hold at $25 and Maids and Brides at $5 per hundred, but these are only the aristocrats of the shipments and the plebeian horde go at such sacrifices that it would be a shame to quote the prices. Carnations get bet- ter in quality every day and, of course, more abundant. Only the best were in demand at $2 and the lower grades fell again to 50 cents. Asters and gladioli have gracefully retired. The dahlia still holds its own. Gunther still receives daily some of the finest blooms from Peacock's 130 acres. New York has been educated this year to an apprecia- tion of the possibilities in this beautiful flower. Cattleyas are abundant and the retail windows show how they are appreciated. Violets are improving in color, but there are too many of them and the misfor- tune of street competition makes the situation a serious one both for grower and retailer. The best still hold at 50 cents. Club Meeting. The October meeting of the club was held on Monday evening. Over sixty were present and one of our most inter- esting meetings resulted. Messrs. Hal- lock, Eeid, Ward, Donohoe and Bonilon were elected to membership and Messrs. Hansen, Hoflfmeyer, Coyle and Ernshaw proposed. The outing committee gave its final report, showing a balance of $6.29 with all expenses paid. The board of trustees reported, showing a balance of $1,667.23 in the treasury. The com- misserate provided abundant refresh- ments. A grand exhibit was staged. C. H. Totty exhibited for the first time the chrysanthemum novelties, Mrs. D. Willis James, scarlet with golden reverse; Lady Henderson, straw yellow; seed- lings No. 23 and No. 99, bronze yellow. Of last year's prize winners he showed Mrs. A. J. Miller, pink; Albert Chand- ler, deep yellow; Merstham Yellow; Lady. Hopetoun, heliotrope pink ; Beat- rice May, pure white; Souv. de Calvat Pere, white, cream center, and White Coombes. For the new varieties a cer- tificate of merit was given and for the old varieties a cultural certificate. Mr. Duckham characterized this exhibit as wonderfully meritorious, especially on account of its earliness, and the best display at so early a date he had ever seen. He particularly commended Beat- rice May, Lp^dy Hopetoun and No. 99. F. E. Pierson Co., of Tarrytown, staged seventy-five varieties of dahlias, many of them new varieties, for which honorable mention was granted. Henri Beaulieu showed a large vase of assort- ed dahlias and received honorable men- tion. A. L. Miller showed Pearl of the Park, Camaeliaflora and Kaiserin Au- gusta Victoria, for which he received a cultural certificate. J. T. Lovett, of Little Silver, N. J., made a fine exhibit of single and cactus dahlias, through his New York representative, Joseph Fen- rich, for which a cultural certificate was given. Louis Dupuy, of White Stone, showed a grand vase of Eareniti chrysanthe- mum, a massive pink, for which he re- ceived a certificate for culture. Gutt- man & Weber staged a vase of Carna- tion Victory, in splendid condition and quite up to the quality which won it so many honors last season. L. K. Pea- cock, of Atco, sent a grand display of dahlias, which was staged by his New York agent, W. H. Gunther, showing over 150 varieties. A certificate for culture was accorded. In Mr. Peacock's 130 acres are over 1,000 varieties. Leh- nig & Winnefeld exhibited several plants of their new pink begonia, for which they secured honorable mention. Wm. Duckham gave a cordial invita- tion to the club to attend the meeting of the National Chrysanthemum Society at Philadelphia on November 7.

Co., is making New York his headquarters. He reports an excellent business. Fall fruits and nuts constituted the exhibit and topic of discussion at the first regular meeting of the season of the Horticultural Society of New York on Wednesday at the American Insti- tute. New retail stores are rapidly opening in every part of the city and so rapid is the growth of New York there seems to be abundant room for all. It would be hard to conceive of any florist of ex- perience, with a fair capital, failing in such a venture here at the present time. The field is the best on the continent. Some firms have three or four prosper- ous branches. There is no limit to the future of floriculture in New York. A meeting of the committee having in charge the employees' big ball in January was held on Monday evenings and the club will meet every Monday evening hereafter. Matters are pro- gressing nicely and the success of the affair seems assured. A multiplicity of extra duties owing to the continued ill- ness of Mr. Ghormley alone prevents Mr. Coyle's acceptance of the honorable of- fice to which he was elected in connec- tion with the enterprise. The auctions at Elliott's and Cleary's go merrily on and larger crowds and better prices indicate the growing in- terest. Why the retail florists do not 1 wake up to this opportunity it is hard to understand. Bargains are numerous. Grand palms and evergreens for decora- tive purposes do not bring half their values. The auction rooms so far see few of the big retailers in comparison with other years. Brooklyn, however, is awake and some of its best florists are weekly buyers. Even the palm pur- chasers seem to be waiting for a freeze- up before stocking their stores with the needful plants. Herbert Greensmith, formerly with the Clucas & Boddington Co., will go to a Connecticut nursery firm. Ghormley had a shipment of Japan- ese dwarf plants last week that found a ready sale. Chas. Millang has just received a large importation from Holland of Aucuba Japonica, boxwood and retino- spora in all sizes and varieties. He has secured a large yard for their care and display close to his wholesale house. He has prepared one of his conserva- tories for the display of his cut chrysan- themums. Mr. Millang has postponed his outing until later in the year and has been unable to get away for his usual trip among his growers on ac- count of the stress of the season's busi- ness. Bridgman has advanced to the Thos. Young Co. store on Fifth avenue as manager and Hanft takes Mr. Bridg- man's place at Twenty-eighth street. A visit to John Scott's place in Flat- bush shows an entirely new range of seven houses just completed, aggregat- ing 20,000 square feet, which, with the houses already on the property makes an aggregate of 40,000 feet. Another of 20,000 feet will be erected in the spring of 1906. J. Austin Shaw. PETERSBtniG, III. — Thomas Salveson expects to open his new retail store in Springfield about October 1.

New England's greatest outdoor ear- nival, the well known Brockton Fair, was held on October 3 to 6. Weather conditions this year were perfect and gate admissions totaled 160,000. On Oc- tober 5, known as Boston day, 80,250 were present, probably the largest at- tendance ever recorded at any similar fair in America. In spite of early frosts there was an extensive display of dahlias from J. K. Alexander, W, P. Lothrop, W. G. Win- sor, W. H. Symonds, T. L. Tinkham and many others. Gladioli were also largely shown. Floral designs were quite numerous, but potted plants were below the average, largely because too small a proportion of the $40,000 in pre- miums is allowed them. Next year we believe they are to be better provided for. Vaxiotts Notes. Business at the stores is now picking up nicely and prospects for fall trade are excellent, A killing frost to wipe out the remaining dahlias, asters and other flowers would be acceptable. Some very good chrysanthemums are now arriving and carnations and roses are daily improving in quality as well as quantity. W. W. Hathaway reports the past sea- son's trade the best on record. He is well equipped for the coming season, with all the best novelties in plants and cut flowers, as well as sundries. Wel- lesley rose is a fine seller here and Cat- tleya labiata is used more each season. C. A. Bead and Mrs. Moir, on Cen- ter street, are both anticipating a first- class season. Their windows are quite attractive at all times. Brockton fiower stores are equal to any in this state outside of Boston, the owners being thoroughly up to date. Harry Cole, at the Copeland green- houses, is cutting good Glory of Pa- cific and other early mums, also a fine lot of Cattleya labiata. A bench of Cypripedium insigne promises a wealth of bloom. Some 10,000 carnations are grown here and are looking well. Thomas Greaves, at the Crawford greenhouses, has some 16,000 carnations benched, including some of his own seedlings, which are grown in quantity. Fair Maid is preferred here to En- chantress. Chrysanthemums are grown in considerable numbers. A good many of the singles such as Mizpah and Zeroff in pots make very salable stock. W. N. C. GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. The Market. The past two weeks have been like July, far too hot for the good of stock in the benches. Roses are popping out too fast. Carnations are coming too quickly. Even mums, if the heat con- tinues, are going to all open at once and in a few days the market will be overloaded with the bulk of the early sorts, such as Polly Rose, Bergmann, October Sunshine, Pacific and Willow- brook. Opah and R. Halliday are now practically over. Halliday has demon- strated its claim to being the best and earliest yellow. Lilies are the only scarce flowers; there will soon be plenty of callas. Business has improved, although the hot weather has hurt shipping, as the out-of-town buyers have most of their own flowers now. Various Notes. There have been several store open- ings. The decorations were mostly plants and asters. The roses used were supplied by a Chicago commission house. The (irand Rapids Floral Co. had two decorations and Crabb & Hunter one. The West Michigan Fair was a suc- cess, both artistically and financially. In the floral department the Grand Rapids Floral Co, and Crabb & Hunter were the main exhibitors.

Free., W. H. Grenell. Sagrinaw, W. S., Mich.; First Vice- Pres., li. L. MBy, St. Paul; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual meeting will be held at San Jose, Cal., June, 1906. Theke were several cases of Harrisii on the last boat from Bermuda. Those who fear unripe bulbs should be satisfied with these. The Braslan Seed Growers' Co., San Jose, Cal., has leased the famous Alisal ranch of 855 acres at Salinas. They will have it in seed crops next year. Boss Bros., Wichita, Kan., have be- gun work on a two-story and basement brick seed warehouse 50x140. The firm has been in business twenty-one years. Onion seed received of the new crop shows a variation in percentage' of ger- mination. Other garden seeds so far tested from the "same sources show greater uniformity. Five car-loads of peas have been re- ceived this week by the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, this being a first shipment of the crop from their northern Mich- igan growing station. Visited Chicago: Max Wilhelmi, of F. Barteldes Jc Co., Lawrence, Kan.; F. H. Hunter, manager of the seed depart- ment of the Germain Fruit and Seed Co., Los Angeles, Cal. The wholesale growers report an ac- tive demand for early shipments. They are kept busy in the effort to meet this requirement of their customers and pres- ent indications point to another good year. J. W. T. Duvel, of the seed labora- tory of the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture, says carefully conducted experi- ments, extending over a period of nearly two years, have shown that cowpeas oan be kept free from weevils if stored at a temperature of 32 to 34 degrees. It is understood that this method is practiced to a limited extent by seeds- men, who find it far more satisfactory than the methods of fumigation which have been so generally used. The cost of storage is from 15 to 25 cents per bushel for the season. Eepobts from all the growing sta- tions are to the effect that the weather has been satisfactory for threshing; that the operations along all lines are mov- ing smoothly and that deliveries are be- ing made in good shape. From the sweet com and cucumber growers come reports of favorable conditions. The good weather has had a beneficial effect on all the crops still standing, adding considerably to the crop, and the outlook for a good harvest was never better. These are a number of ways of at- tracting visitors to a seed store in the off season, but none is probably more unique or effective than the flower and baby show annually held in the store of Arthur G. Lee, Fort Smith, Ark., by the' lady managers of Belle Point hospital. F. H. Henry, assignee for the Gucas & Boddington Co., New York, has de- cided that it is not possible to reorgan- ize the concern so that the business may be continued. The assets are being sold, Marshall & Co. having purchased the store fixtures for the purpose of adding a retail department to their wholesale and catalogue trade. The Clacas So Bod- dington Co. 's liabilities approximate $24,000 with nominal assets of $16,000, but it is stated the actual assets will prove not more than one-third this sum. A LARGE ORDER. The St. Louis Seed Co., St. Louis, Mo., has an advertisement in a publication supposed to circulate largely among publishers, reading as follows: Has your paper a buying circulation? If so, we want sample copy and rates. We are now making up our advertising list for the coming season and we want to appear in every paper in the world whose readers are interested in seeds. Note that the advertisement says "every paper in the world." That looks like a pretty large order. It has been reported that several western seedhouses contemplate branching out next season, but this has every appearance of being "the biggest yet." AMERICAN VS. BRITISH SEEDS. A representative of the Jamaica Agri- cultural Society recently prepared a re- port for that organization suggesting that the society arrange to import Eng- lish vegetable seeds and sell them in small quantities to members. He spoke rather strongly against American seeds, which he said had proved to be bad. The sec- retary of the society has taken excep- tion to this stand and strongly defends the American product, which, he says, is much cheaper than the British article and perfectly reliable. — New York Com- mercial. BULB TRADE IN GUERNSEY. There has been a brisk trade in Isle of Guernsey bulbs this season, says the Horticultural Advertiser. Some of the varieties of narcissi, even of the com- moner sorts, have had quite a run made upon them. The first size for forcing have nearly all been bought up, so that it is difficult to purchase a few thou- sands of N. princeps, Golden Spur, or Irving. Freesia refracta alba is another bulb which has been greatly sought af- ter, and the great demand seems to sug- gest that growers were generally satisfied with the cut flower trade of early spring. It will be remembered, however, that if the flower trade was good, it was in no small part owing to the action of a very disastrous frost upon the French flower fields along the Biviera, and such a visitation is not likely to occur two years in succession. There may be a further reason for an increase in the flower trade locally and that may be found in the fact that the ordinary Guernsey fruit crops have be- come less profitable than they used to be, and the grower who finds his profits growing less, has to look around him for whatever catch-crops are within his reach, and as narcissi only occupy the houses for about a month, he finds th«m about the most convenient and quickest catch-crop of any. English firms, too, have turned their eyes Channel Island- wards for narcissi, and to the writer's 'Wn 1174 The Weekly Florists^ Review* OCTOBEB 12, 1905. knowledge very many tons have been shipped. The bulbs are not nearly so large as those from Holland, but they are hard, solid and heavy, and as their blooming properties are good, these points arc bound to be appreciated in good time. GOOD ADVICE. A. A. Berry, president of the A. A. Berry Seed Company, Clarinda, Iowa, gives some succinct advice to advertisers: First — Good copy. Make strong ad- vertisements, with arguments that are convincers. Show good illustrations that will represent the subject offered. Too many make the mistake in showing the cut of something entirely foreign to the thing advertised. The man who has the stuff to sell or the proposition to offer to the public can write best about it but should in every instance get the very best advice that is possible on the sub- ject. See that the advertisement looks attractive. Style of the type and manner in which it is set up has a good deal to do with the looks. Second — Select good mediums, papers that will pull. Weed out the papers that do not pay. Some papers charge a rate that their circulation will not warrant. We have found that out by experience. The last four years we have carefully keyed our advertising with box numbers, which is probably the best scheme, and after checking up often find a revelation. We always give a paper a second chance and if it falls down two years in succes- sion, then we know there is something wrong. Either it is not the kind of paper to advertise seeds in or is too far dis- tant from us, or the circulation does not warrant the price charged. We increase appropriations on papers that pay us but have found that some- times this results in next year's sheet making a poor record and in some in- stances has brought on the other effect, that of costing us too much for the amount of business it brings us. There is a limit and a person can only find that oat by carefully reviewing the results of each year's business and comparing them together and with other papers.

Some years ago market growers who did bedding plants in large quantities used many of the pits and frames for growing asters after the spring plants had been cleared off, and found them a very profitable crop, says a writer in the Horticultural Advertiser (London), but things have changed, and although we now have much improved varieties of asters, they dre far from being a very remunerative line, even when the best sorts are grown well. This year they have been overabundant in the market. By the time English growers had their first in we had been having large quan- tities from France; and later, when the best quality were coming, we had good chrysanthemums in. For some reason the latter are the favorites, and one salesman told me that aster grow- ers had a bad time this season. They certainly were never more abundant, and though the first I saw were rather poor, we , have since had blooms of splendid quality, those of the Comet type being the best. We have these in several de- cided colors, and the long florets, which are slightly curled, are much more ele- gant than the old French type. The pure white, bright pink, and mauve are the most desirable. Although this has been such a bad season for them (owing to the large importations, and the oversupplies from English growers), it is possible that another season may see a change again. It generally follows that after a bad season many drop out, and those who stick to any particular thing, and do it well, will come in well at some time.

I was recently shown soifte grand blooms of the pure white and the pink, which had been sent direct to the florist from the grower, and they were very fine indeed. With everything grown for market it pays to secure the very best strains procurable, and this is especially the case with asters. A few extra shillings, or even pounds, will soon be made up by having best quality blooms. MAKE NO MISTAKE Carlson's Aster bai for years been tbe lead- ins aster in tbe Obicago cut flower market.

The horse show takes place this week and many of the retailers have good orders. Various Notes. Some years ago Neville island was the truck garden for Pittsburg, but things have changed of late years, for the soil is being ruined by the many oil wells which have been put down. A number of blast furnaces along the river cover everything with smoke and ore dust, and it is only a question of a short time un- til the island gardens will be a thing of the past. Geo.

Club Meetine. The Florists* Club had quite an in- teresting meeting October 3. There were quite a variety of subjects discussed. Thos.

Dreer sent dahlias, hardy asters, tritomas, besides a number of other in- teresting things, all of which were taken up and discussed separately, to the bene- fit of all. Henry Frishkorn, with W. C. Beckert, the Allegheny seedsman, at the request of the club made an exhibit of bulbs on which he gave the members a most interesting talk. The varied suc- cess which many of the members have had in the past caused considerable com- ment, but it was conceded by some of the growers that at least a part of the failure was due to bad management in the growing end, and some wh(f have don& their own importing admitted that they frequently accepted stock shipped pUGENE BERNHEIMER, iiso.16th8t..

There is a marked contrast in the extent of the winter injury on bare soils — soils given clean cultivation — and on covered soils. The bare soils freeze deeper and the injury is much greater than on soils covered with a mulch or other material. The greater depth to which bare soils freeze in winter than covered soils was brought out in an experiment made at the Ohio State Experiment Station. A plat of peaches in an exposed situation was selected and a strip of sod ten to twelve feet wide removed from one row, leav- ing the bare surface of the soil fully exposed to the cold. Another row alongside was left in grass which had been clipped and allowed to lie upon the ground. Where the sod was re- moved the ground froze to a depth of eighteen inches, while under the thin sod covering of grass and weeds in the other row the ground froze to a depth of about eight inches. The trees in the bare ground "were very slow in start- ing into growth the following spring of 1904. All of the trees in this row were PRIVET FOR SALE Vwo hundred thonsavd (800,000) plants, all BiseB grovm. at Blooms- dale, and 3 and 4 jreara old.

The month of September proved to be one of the best in many years, proba- bly owing to the large number of wed- dijags and general trade incident to the number of tourists here during the G. A. B. encampment, who left quite a little money in the city. And October starts out very well. We have had a good frost which was perhaps welcomed by most of the growers, but higher tem- perature the past week somewhat checked the retail trade. The indications are, however, that fail trade will be brisk. Outdoor stock being all in, the buyers have gone back to the old favorites, roses and carnations, both of which are now coming in large quantities, and most of which are of good quality. Ameri- can Beauties, generally speaking, are especially fine. The Park Floral Co. is cutting some of the finest they have ever grown, which perhajps is true of all the other growers. Bride, Maid and Chat- enay are coming in large quantities, the majority of them good in stem, size and color. The new Richmond, of which 80 much has been said, appears to be pretty fair, but as yet it has not beat Liberty very much. A few Rosalind Orr English are seen and look pretty good, being a fine color. Carnations are improving in quality every day, while the quantity is increas- ing also, all pretty good with the ex- ception of the reds. Enchantress, Lady Bountiful and White Lawson are the best. Fiancee also is coming in fine, the color being good, as well as the stem. It looks liRe a favorite. A few chrysanthemums are now on the market, both cut and plants. As the weather gets colder some fine stock will be seen. There has been some call for violets the past week and a few not very good ones are coming in. All "greens" are plentiful. Varioof Notes. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Valentine have re- turned from their trip to the Pacific coast. The Florists' Bowling League has or- ganized for the season, electing R. S. Mahan, of the Alpha Floral Co., presi- dent, and E. S. Kennedy, of the Park Floral Co., secretary and treasurer. The league will bowl every Monday evening at the Brunswick alleys. It is starting on a good foundation and promises to be a banner season for the bowlers. J. F. Wilcox, of Council BlufPB, la., was in the city a few days last week. Mr. Wilcox reports a very busy season. N. A. Benson is cutting some very fine Enchantress, Lady Bountiful and Fiancee carnations. Miss Scott, daughter of William Scott, has returned to her home in Buf- falo after a two months' visit with her brother, Phil, and his family here. E. S. K. OCEANIC N. J. The meeting of the Monmouth County Horticultural Society was held at Red Men's Hall, October 6. President Hale presided. Mr. Turner exhibited some Gattleya gigas measuring nine inches, the most beautifully colored we ever saw, scoring 95 points; and Odontoglossum grande, four sprays of enormous size with seven to nine flowers on a spray, which received 90 points. The society decided to have the school children in- vited to enter the flower show free if they are escorted by their respective teachers. B. PACIFIC COAST. VIOLETS. An Alien's Industry. The entire violet growing industry in the vicinity of San Francisco has within the past few years passed into the hands of the Italians, Chinamen and Japanese. The other growers no longer seem to find this branch of the business profitable. There are several reasons for this but the principal one is that whenever any of the nationalities mentioned get inter- ested in growing anything in the fiower line that does not call for any particu- lar skill they usually squeeze the balance of the trade out of it. Another reason I might mention is the question of help. Violets, above any other article, certain- ly take up time with the picking of the flowers, otherwise at this season of the year there is little to do. The Italian growers first solved this problem by training their children, 6 and upward, to go into the fields and do the cutting and bunching. As children are much better adapted to this sort of labor than are grown folks and as the Italian element fre far famed for their large families, it was only a short time before the ques- tion of wages was settled. With the Chinese and Japanese the same spirit prevails and the subject of picking does not cut such a figure. It is wonderful The Tottenliam Nurseries Ltd. (Bst»1>llBh«d in 1878.)

The PrinocBs of Wales has become of recent years practically the only variety grown here. A few growers have patches of Marie Louise and Swanley White, but tJiere is little call for them. Some of the retailers who ship to the in^rior exten- sively handle them in considerable quan- tities but among nine-tenths of the laity, vhen violets are spoken of, the single purple Princess of Wales is meant. Violets, although not supposed to be \ :ry heavy feeders, do not do well over , e season on the same piece of land; me plants will produce a quantity of I jwers, but when the blooms grown un- (er such conditions are compared with f ose taken from new ground the differ- ce is very apparent. The selection of ound has a great deal to do with the ipular flower. When the sand dunes e passed and we encounter the rich, I ack soil as well as the heavy, sandy uam extending from Ocean View as far ■ San Mateo, we are in the violet belt nd it is possible to grow these flowers ro perfection almost anywhere in the liiMghborhood I have mentioned. It is not advisable to go far inland, as the red ^)iider, practically the only foe encoun- tered in this line, does not thrive where <"gg7 nights and moist breezes are the rule. In some specially favored spots tliis pest is absolutely unknown, where- as on higher and dryer ground a few miles away, violet culture has proved a failure. Regarding the prices obtained, the re- tailers are now paying the growers $1 per dozen bunches, each containing about fifty blooms, and the demand is practi- <&l}v unlimited from September until ^*ay. G. SAN FRANCISCO. Xhe Market Mums are becoming more plentiful and the retailers are feeling easier, as flowers of all kinds have been very scarce. Carnations, too, are more plenti- ful and in a couple of weeks, should the weather remain good, we will have them in abundance. Valley is equal to all de- mands, also green stuff of all kinds. Roses continue scarce, although there are signs of big crops to come in the near future. Outdoor stock of all kinds is getting very short. Business is quiet and the weather continues warm.

The Market The city was thronged with thousands of visitors the past week to witness the Priests of Pallas parade and other at- tractions of carnival week. The visitors spent their money freely and the down- town stores report a brisk cut flower business. There seems to be a veritable epidemic of price cutting among some of the deal- ers who make price instead of service the drawing card. Roses have sold as low as 25 cents per dozen and carna- tions sell anywhere from 15 cents to 50 cents per dozen. One department store advertised palms as low as 10 cents each. Various Notes. W. J. Barnes decorated the big de- partment store of the Emery-Bird-Thayer Co. for their annual millinery opening. He says that last week was one of the busiest weeks he has experienced since he has been in the business. Samuel Murray has a display of ferns and Gloire de Lorraine begonias at his greenhouses that cannot be excelled. He will exhibit some fine specimens at the flower show. The growers in this vicinity are having an unusual amount of trouble with stem- rot in their carnations this season. One grower has had to replant over 200 plants in the past two weeks. A. L. Harman, of lola, was a visitor in town this week. The city will hereafter grow its own bedding plants for the public parks. Heretofore all the plants for the park system have been purchased from the local florists, but the park board has or- dered the material and will commence the erection of a range of houses at once. In the meantime cuttings are be- ing rooted in frames. Kay-See. VIOLET Plants Prinoaas of Wales and Dorsett, •6.00 per ICO. $50.00 per 1000. Swanl«7 Wlilts. $5.00 per 100.

It cannot be said that the ordinary method of planting this Japanese pyrus, which is that of putting a plant here and there in the shrubberies, or placing an odd one to grow against a wall, is the best method of illustrating its beauty as a flowering plant. Some years since I collected what plants there were from the shrubberies, and arranged them on each side of a path near an entrance to the kitchen garden here, intending to treat them as a hedge on each side of the path. The plants were topped occa- sionally during the summer, and the side- shoots were repeatedly pinched, until now the hedges are eight feet high and nearly a yard through. The growth on the top is quite vigorous, and with that it is intended to form an arch over the path connecting the two hedges together. For the last two months the hedges have been one mass of blossom, the deep scarlet color having a gorgeous effect. In no other form of training can this plant display its beauty better. It is quite optional how high such a hedge shall grow; anything between four feet and eight feet will suflSce. Stout plants put out two feet apart in deeply trenched, well manured soil quickly at- tain to a desirable height, and should be topped occasionally to induce a thickly grown base. When the desired height is attained much summer pruning of the young growth should be done to induce the formation of spurs as quickly as pos- sible over the whole of the hedge, as from these a yearly crop of blossom is ae- sured. There is no reason why other varieties of pyrus, especially the white- flowered form, should not be treated in a similar way.— <}ardeners ' Chronicle. VEGETABLE FORCERS.

Please let me know how many runs of pipe I need for five houses covering 60x 150, built on the Dietsch short-span prin- ciple. The walls are cement half way up, the balance glass. These are to be used for carnations and are to be warmed by hot water. Or do you think steam better? I must keep 54 degrees when it is zero outside. P. O. K. To heat your range with hot water, using 2-inch pipe, twenty-eeven lines of pipe will be required. To heat it with steam, using 1 14 -inch pipe, twenty-four lines will be required. With runs 150 feet long steam is in general most satis- factory unless some form of circulating pump is used in the hot water system, A steam system will entail the ex- pense of a night fireman unless hard coal is used. This is the chief drawback to steam, while the cost of installing hot water is an item to be considered. If you contemplate enlarging the plant in the near future steam would be preferable. L. C. C.

I would like to know if I can run a 2-inch pipe from my greenhouse boiler 125 feet to my dwelling, there to heat three radiators? The dwelling is five feet above the water line in the boiler but to avoid the driveway the main would have to drop to within six inches of the water line in the boiler. Would this work, us- ing the main to bring back the condensa- tion to where a bleader could be taken off to return it to the boiler t H. M. If, as you state, it is necessary to drop the main flow from the boiler to the house to within six inches of the water line of the boiler, I think it would be much safer to carry an independent re- turn from the radiators to the boiler rather than attempt to carry return water back to the bleader through the riser. It would be well to make the bleader about i^.-ineh and run a por- tion of it horizontally so as to allow the use of a swing check to prevent the water backing out of the main return into the riser. Keep the main up as high as possible, give it an even grade from the off-set to the house and put the bleader in the basement of the house and make a swing joint connection between the flow and return. L. C. C. AN ENCLOSED VERANDA. This fall I intend to enclose the east and south sides of a veranda to be used as a conservatory. It will contain 700 square feet of glass and about 6,000 cubic feet of air-space. It is to be parti- tioned in two sections. What size of boiler and what size and number of pipes would you recommend to maintain a night temperature of 45 and 60 degrees in the respective sections? The temperature sel- dom falls below zero here. Would it be safe to use hydrocyanic acid gas for fumigating such a place. The only con- nection with the house is by two win- dows. N. L. I cannot give size of heater, or area of pipe necessary for your conservatory without more dimensions. State the size of each compartment and the tempera- ture wanted; then I can give an intelli- gent answer. No, it will not be safe to use hydro- cyanic acid gas for fumigating such a compartment unless the wdfk is done when the adjoining residence is entirely vacant, L. C. C. KELLER POTTERY CO.

The Weekly Rorists' Review^ 1211 MULCHING. To produce those high grade blooms of good color aod substance, with a wealth of well developed foliage and marketable stems, the grower must have a good knowledge of the food required by his crops at the different stages of their growth. As the plants increase in size and the benches fill with roots, the limited amount of nutritive substances con- tained in the few inches of soil on the bench will naturally; become exhausted and the progressive grower should make it his duty to supply the plants with the necessary food as often as required. By a careful study of the original compost and watching how the stock progresses, he will soon arrive at a cor- rect idea of the quality of food required to supplement the waste. To keep up a constant supply of those elements without incurring the danger of overfeeding during the short days it will be necessary to apply light mulches from time to time, these mulches to contain as near as possible the elements wanted by the stock at time of applying it and for some weeks afterwards. When I say a light mulch I do not mean to convey the idea that the mate- rial must be of a light nature, but that it should be spread on lightly, so as not to exclude the sun's rays from the sur- face of the soil. A good and safe mulch for stock dur- ing the winter can be made from decom- posed cow manure and good fibrous loam in the proportion of two parts ma- nure to one of Boil. By the addition of the soil the gases are absorbed and kept in store for future use. It also lends weight to the material and prevents it from washing all over the bench. "Where soils are particularly soft and heavy a generous sprinkling of bone meal can be added to give stiffness to the stem and substance to petal and foliage. This can be alternated by using air-slaked lime or wood ashes, which have much the same effect an^- also add brilliancy to the color. " " If the soil is light the . food should contain more nitrogen, whi<^ cap be ob- tained in sufficient quantities 'in cow manure, and consequently soil of this character will require more frequent ap- plications of mulch than if the soil is heavy. Care in watering after mulching is necessary, as the mulch absorbs and re- tains the moisture, thus giving the benches the appearance of being wet when an examination of the soil may show that beneath the mulch it is thor- oughly dry. A daily examination of the condition of the soil after the mulch is spread makes assurance doubly sure and is sure to repay the trouble. BiBES. SYRINGING. I am instructed by my superiors to spray or syringe the roses every solitary day, providing, of course, the weather is favorable. Is it necessary to do this seven days in the week at this time of yeart There are no red spider, but I see mildew coming. A. L. H. At this season, when with the plants in full foliage and the short dark days approaching, when syringing cannot be indulged in with frequency, and when firing will have to be resumed, it is well to keep the syringe going on every favorable occasion, prevention being so much better than cure. Especially is this the case where Meteors or Beauties are concerned. On tea roses, owing to the form of the leaves, it is easier to reach the spider and consequently they can do with "less syringing than hybrids. It is safer to use every precaution now than to have to regret the missed oppor- tunities when dark, short days come. BiBES. VIOLETS OUTDOORS. I wish to ask as to the best method of caring for violets outdoors in Michigan. They are fine plants. Can I get flowers early next spring! I will propagate more next year and grow them in the house. "When should I begin propagat- ing? O. H. C. The query is very indefinite, inasmuch as it is not stated whether the violet plants are in a frame or in the open ground; neither is the variety stated. I take it for granted that the grower either has them in a cold-frame or ex- pects to build a frame around them. If he does so and covers the sash with mats, giving the violets treatment similar to that he gives his pansies in frames, he should be able to pick flowers quite early, especially if the frames are well located. As to propagating, it may be begun as soon as the frames are opened in spring and; growth has been made suit- able for cuttings, or one can wait until later and divide the old clumps when it comes time to plant them out. B. E. S. EXHIBITIONS AND EXHIBITING. The coming week will see the opening of the show season, with Islip, N. Y., on October 24 and Madison, N. J., on October 26; Lenox, Mass., on October 25, and others. From present indications there will be lots of stock on hand, even though it is a little early. The prospective exhibitor, if he is an old hand at the business, has already got his classes planned in his mind 's eye and, by an occasional visit to size up his neighbor's plants, knows pretty well where he stands. To the new man, who is entering the ring for the first time, I would say: Do not get reckless pind imagine that you can capture the whole thing and enter in every class that is open to you. Such a course, from a prize winning standpoint, is foolish, since it is putting oneself against every- body else and many unexpected things happen in a lifetime. If entries are slim, and your idea is to help out the show as an exhibition and you do not object to being beaten once or twice, 80 long as the showing as a whole is a creditable one, it is all right to fill in as many classes as possible, and shows a laudable spirit of self-sacrifice for the public good. "When one is green at the show busi- ness he is apt to start out with the idea that he can lick the earth, but he gener* ally winds up the first year by licking a good deal less than that. When the exhibition is any distance from home the question of packing the flowers so that they will travel safely is the chief thing to consider. In spite of every care lots of trouble invariably results from the carelessness of the ex- press companies and the playful habit their employees get into, of standing boxes on end that are marked "Keep flat" in letters a foot high. The flow- ers must be cleated tight in the box, so that, no matter which way it is turned, they cannot move. Make a pillow of newspaper to set under the neck of the bottom layer of flowers and use lots of tissue paper between the flowers to keep them from rubbing against each other. Two or three layers can be placed in each end of a box and then if the stems are cleated down properly not much harm will come to the flowers. Some growers ship in boxes three to four feet high and have the flowers standing upright and tied to wires. They travel finely in this manner but it is a very expensive way to pack, too ex- pensive, in fact, to be generally adopted. Before the flowers are packed they should have had from twenty-four to thirty-six hours in water, bo that the' 1212 The Weekly Florists^ Review* OCTOBEB 19, 1905. stems are full of water. Then they will carry to their destination without wilt- ing and set up in much better shape. Merstham Yellow* 1 notice in last week's Ehjview that Mr. Teilmann is very much disappointed with the way Merstham Yellow has be- haved with him. I am sorry to hear it, since my experience, and also the ex- perience of several other growers in this vicinity, is very different. My first flow- ers were cut September 30 and these flowers ran $4 per dozen. The last of some 500 blooms were cut October 12 and the average price, particularly in this bad fall, from a mum grower's stand- point, was satisfactory enough. One grower of my acquaintance got $5 a dozen for his best flowers, with a net average of practically $4 a dozen. The early buds from which the early flowers would be cut all came green and blind with Mr. Teilmann. This, of course, accounts for his poor opinion of the variety. If the bud is not taken before August 10 it always comes perfect here, and I can only account for his flowers failing to come on the ground of some climatic differences, unless he took a bud before the date indicated. It is unquestionably true that locality or soil does make a good deal of differ- ence in the handling of different varie- ties. Mr. Teilmann grows Monrovia finely and it must be a satisfactory kind with him. Very few growers here grow it in any quantity and personally I could never get any satisfaction out of it. The variety W. Duckham is one of the very largest mums grown and as set up in the east, at the different shows, is unsurpassed in finish and color. Yet Wm. Duckham told me that in his trip through the west last year he was in- tensely disappointed at the very poor condition of all the flowers of this va- riety he saw on exhibition. So much for difference in climate. I have always argued in these notes that when a grower has a variety that does finely with him, that is the kind for him to grow. The only fault with Merstham Yellow, as far as my experi- ence with it this fall goes, is that the flower is soft and damped somewhat. The fact that it is the warmest fall in the history of the weather bureau may account for this; in fact. I know it does, because as soon as I shaded the bench the damping ceased. I hope Mr. Teilmann will give the variety one more chance before he dis- cards it, and meanwhile I would like to hear how it has. behaved with other growers in that vicinity. Charles II. Totty. RUST. Enclosed you will find a few leaves of chrysanthemum. I am troubled with some kind of spot on the leaves. From the way it comes, and on any part of the plant, I am sure it is not caused by the sun shining too hot through the glass, and it is not caused by either mulching or using liquid manure, for otherwise the plants seem to be in A 1 condition. I have seen the same thing happen once before. It does not seem to affect the bloom much but spoils the leaves. I will be thankful to you if you can help me in any way. C. L. T. Although the leaves were very much wilted I have no hesitation in saying | that these chrysanthemums are affected with rust. While this disease has never assumed serious proportions here, it has done a good deal of damage in Europe. Rust can be held in check by spraying the plants with sulphide of potassium, using it at the rate of one ounce to two gallons of water and making abso- lutely sure that the spraying is so thor- ough that the leaf is wet on both sides. This fall, after the plants have done flowering, I would advise C. L. T. to take a batch of cuttings from the plants and clear away the- old stools. Then by watching the young plants he can start another year with perfectly clean stock. Badly affected stock has in this manner been cleared completely of rust. C. H. T. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

I am growing, in Germany, some benches of American carnations, planted in .September, 1904, and think of carry- ing them another year. Is it wiset The benches were filled last year with good sandy loam on the ground, to which was added one-third cow manure. Will you tell me how they should be handled to get a good crop in the second year? Which varieties will give the best ac- count of themselves and what tempera- ture do they need. Is it advisable to top-dress them with chemical or natural material and at what time of the year! T. W. It seems to have been the experience of growers generally who have tried to run carnations over the second year that it is not practical. . In our experiments along that line we have found that a good, strong young plant will give bet- ter results than a plant that has al- ready worked one season. I have seen a few benches of second-year plants that did remarkably well, but in every case I am sure that strong, young plants would have done just as well.

Y. sometimes tempt one to run the plants another season. Between the seasons a rank growth is made, the hot weather kills out a plant here and there, red spider gets a hold, because on account of the dense growth syringing could not be done properly, and, in fact, a hundred and one things come up which one does not encounter with the young plants. We have tried cutting them back and planting in the field during summer, the same as young plants, but they get hard and do not transplant as well as young stock. However, if you have them in good condition at this time on the benches, so that you wish to carry them another season, it is possible that you may have good success with them. With us the damage is usually done before this time. Your climate may favor this method more than our climate does. If you carry them another season you will find that they will need a good deal more feeding than they did last sesuson. Not only is 5ie soil pretty well exhausted but the plants are larger and need more nourishment to keep them going. I can- not say that any special varieties will lend themselves more readily to this treatment than others. It is simply a question of whether the plants happen to be in good condition for it. Unless you are thoroughly versed in chemical manures I would advise you to stick to the great natural manure which we get from the dairy, using in addition some bone and wood ashes. The manure can be applied both as a mulch and in liquid form, while the bone may be mixed with soil, a 5-inch pot of bone to a bushel of soil, and spread on the benches a scant half -inch thick. The wood ashes should be scattered on the soil and scratched in, after which a good watering should be given. The plants will want about the same temperature as last season. A. F. J. Baur. Chilton, Wis. — W. C. Schucht had an opening October 2 to which he invited the people by means of a handbill larger than two pages of the Beview. Ice cream was served and each visitor received a flower as a souvenir. It was a great success. THE SCOTT OUTING. The employees of the Wm. Scott Co., of Buffalo, had an outing August 25 at the firm's greenhouses in Corfu. They made the trip from the city in style, using an automobile large enough to pro- vide seats for the entire party. It is a two hours* ride to Corfu, where dinner was provided at the hotel. After an inspection of the greenhouses there was a baseball game between the visitors and the home team, which was followed by more refreshments and then the start was made for home. One of the employ- ees, who is an expert with the camera, took the photographs reproduced in this issue. The outing was so successful that it wiU be repeated each year. MR. PETTIGEEW IN EUROPE. [A portion of a lecture on "Park and Garden Work In Europe," dellverM before the Gar- deners' and Ftorists' Club of Boston, October 17, by J. A. Pettlgrew.] It may seem an easy task to relate what one has seen on a trip across the waters. So it appeared to me when I started for Europe early in July of this year. Tour strenuous president took an advantage of my error when he extracted a promise from me that I would talk to you on mj return about what I had seen during my rambles abroad. After a delightful passage of seven days we entered Queenstown harbor, with its quaintly-pretty town situated on the sloping hillside. The hills enclosing the harbor are mostly owned by the British government, and are used for military purposes. Centranthus ruber, however, by right of prior occupation and nature's adaptation, greeted us with sheets of purple bloom, which many of the passengers on the tender were fain to believe was heather. Of heather ther6 was an abundance, but its softer, hazy color was overpowered by the decided color of the centranthus. A stroll, after dinner in the evening, revealed the mild nature of the climate in this part of Ireland. Fuchsias (Kic- cartoni), wallflowers, antirrhinums, sedums, ferns, etc., clothed cliffs, stone walls and slopes alike, while the cottage gardens were, as is usual in the British Isles, bowers of bloom. At Fota, a few miles from Queens- town, is the seat of Lojd Barrymore. Roughly speaking, the gardens and or- namental grounds contain about 100 acres. The entire plan of arrangement has been carefully studied. Excepting, possibly, the terrace gardens, everything speaks of nature and simplicity. The ornamental grounds abound in good things. Beautiful vistas of foliage and turf greet the eye at every turn. An island in a small lake is devoted to a collection of bamboos, the borders of the lake being planted with semi-aquatic plants. The effect is very good and the getting of the picture harmonious. The mild and moist temperatiire of Fota admits of a much wider range in the selection of material for outdoor planting than obtains with us in New England. Coniferous trees do very well. A very fine plant of Pinus insignia meas- ured four feet in diameter. Sequoia gigantea is represented by several prom- ising specimens about thirty or forty feet high. The broad-leaved evergreens, such as laurels and hollies, simply revel in the climate of Fota. In a shady hol- low a rookery has been introduced, which is planted with ferns; many of the choicest variations from the British spe- cies are to be seen. Many ferns from even more temperate climes also have been planted, among which may be noted Dicksonia antarctica, of which there were several specimens doing well. The terrace gardens near the mansion were very gorgeous in their summer plumage of scarlets, blues, purples, yel- lows and whites, a very good example of the florid style of summer bedding.

One wiehed that the treatment had been of a softer character, more in keeping with the simple beauty and quaintness of the facade of the building and the terrace walls. While at Queenstown and Cork I en- gaged, in each place, a jaunting car for a trip into the country. My object was to get such impressions of agricultural conditions as could be obtained in a run of eight or ten miles, and through con- versation with a few of the farmers. My field of observation was limited, and the time at my disposal short, yet I could but come to the conclusion that the Irish farmer, or cotter, of the neighbor- hood makes little of his opportunities. With splendid land under his control and one of the best markets at his doors, he, by lack of thrift and by indolence, per- mits his advantages to be usurped by Holland and France. In Dublin I took a jaunting car ride in Phoenix park. I had heard much of its beauty and its fine situation. I was much disappointed to find it little bet- ter than a pasture lot for cattle, at five to seven dollars per head. The park is a large one of 1,750 Irish acres, which I was told equaled 2,500 English acres. The revenue for its support, I was in- formed, comprised $40,000, which the government pays for the site of the vice- regal palace and the barracks, and $7,000, the proceeds of the pasturage of 1,200 to 1,500 cattle. The result is that the park has a most unkempt appear- ance. The small trees and what have been fine hawthorns are ruined by the rubbing of the cattle. The open mea- dows and woodlands are tracked in every direction. No pruning of dead limbs or cutting out of dead trees seems to be done. Thus a park that might be one of the finest in the British Isles is given up to ruin and desolation. ferns in fine condition, among which were fine specimens of the Killarney fern (Trichomanes radicans). Bougainvillea Cypheri, a semi-double, attracted my at- tention, as did Hsemanthus Katherinse maryllidje, Campanula isophylla, very fine blue and hardy, and Begonia Eex, varieties Ne Plus Ultra, Our Queen and His Majesty. Fine plants were also to be seen of Begonia President Carnot and B. Bowringiana. When looking over the fine begonia collection at this garden I wished that our Mr. Sander could have been with me. Lobelia tenuior as a pot plant was very attractive, aa was also Trachelium caeruleum and T. cseruleum album and Campanula pyramidalis, Veitch's strain, compact and fine flow- ered, as a pot plant was very good. Many other old plants were grown in pots. They were well grown, too, and demonstrated their value for decorative purposes in the greenhouse or conserva- tory. In an aquatic house was seen a fine lot of potted cannas of the new strains. Under the indoor cultural con- ditions the foliage and flowers were very finely developed, both in size and color. The garden is noted for its large and fine collection of alpine plants, which would require days to properly observe and describe. I simply had to content myself with wonder and admiration, as I hurriedly passed along, at their varied and beautiful forms. Trinity College Botanic Garden is situated in the city of Dublin. It con- tains about fourteen acres. The smoke conditions are rather severe on vegeta- tion; hollies, however, seem to find the location a congenial home, for many good specimens are to be found in the garden. Spring flowering bulbs are planted everywhere, and must produce rare effects in flowering season. This might be expected, as Mr. Burbidge, the curator, has long been a student of ^i^*S >^?5-«r- ■'^S:^ *^^ •d*-^ %*?»- » m-H Wm^'-'^^'^^''^^^ ti'M^ liSi' -:; ,i *->»*dr- ''W^^' •t?l^»^- Lath House Used in Florida for Growing Asparagfus. The Royal Botanic Gardens at Glas- nevin; a suburb of Dublin, have an area of fifty-two acres, and are mostly situ- ated on a sandy knoll, where conditions are very unsuitable for the growth of trees and shrubbery, consequently little of note in that line is to be found there. They have, however, considerable glass and a fairly good collection of plants. Especially noticeable was a lot of filmy and a writer on- bulbs. A rockery with a saiall collection of alpine plants showed, by its condition, that this pretty and interesting class of plants has a warm place in his heart. Here I saw the beautiful rosette-like Eaymondia Pyre- naica for the first time; a piece of rough wall admirably served it for a home. Mr. Burbidge, being away from home on a week-end vacation, greatly disap- pointed me, as I had anticipated much pleasure in meeting him. The country around Dublin bay is most charming. Howth, Kingston and Bray are right on the bay. From Bray Head, a hill of some 400 or 500 feet, a fine view of the bay can be had, with the Hill of Howth about six miles away in the distance, while between lies Kings- ton, in the hollow, with its fine old pic- turesque houses. Kingston is an ol^er settlement than Dublin, from which it is distant about eight miles. The Danes held the coast at this point, a few cen- turies ago, and two or three of their strongholds, now in ruins, lend additional interest to the scene. At Kingston I took the Holyhead mail boat, and in three hours I stepped on Welsh soil and boarded the train for London. The scenery between Holyhead and Chester was just such as to tempt one to don a knapsack and wander through its mountain ranges. That it is a great resort for tourists was quite evi- dent from the large amount of passen- ger business at each station. At Chester, which was reached in the afternoon, I stopped for a day or two. Chester is one of the oldest towns in England. There is good evidence that it was a town of considerable importance prior to its occupation by the Bomans, in the first century of the Christian era. The town is famed in song and story, and I think one of the pleasantest memories of my trip is laid within its walls, and I wish to commend it to you as a place worthy of a visit. Near the Bridge of Dee I took a small steamer and sailed up the river for Eaton Hall, one of the seats of the Duke of Westminster. The hall is modern and stands on ground gently rising from the Dee. Broad vistas of lawn stretch out toward the river. No trees of great size are to be found, the plantations be- ing apparently of no greater age than fifty or sixty years. Beeches, oaks and limes predominate ;, a few Cedrus Libani, forty or fifty feet high, gave promise of future greatness. The gardens were in excellent condi- tion. They partook largely of the old- fashioned style; hedges and cozy nooks abounded. Climbing roses were every- where, Dorothy Perkins especially. It was here that I first experienced English hospitality; the gardener, N. F. Barnes, gave me a hearty welcome, and placed himself wholly at my disposal during my visit, Mrs. Barnes being not one whit behind her husband in kindness. In the course of my conversation with Mr. Barnes I found that the English gar- dener, like the American park superin- tendent, has an unhappy time when he undertakes to do any thinning out of his trees or shrubs. I found, also, that the English gardener is very often tram- melled in the matter of planting good things (in themselves) in unsuitable places, and that he cannot always plant things where, in his judgment, things should be planted. So it is not always fair to the gardener to lay upon his shoulders the blame for violations of the artistic which may be found in the place over which he has charge. I was shown the new bothy at Eaton Hall. It was a pretty two-story house, in the timbered style, of which the Cestrians seem so fond. Each gardener had a bedroom up- stairs; a dining-room, kitchen and a parlor occupied the lower floor. The place had an appearance of comfort. I was glad to see this improvement in the '-Jij >?f>f>TCr5fSS!T™i,->~^: *■."•■ .'•T'T^ryjy^ij- a:"^ ■ :■ r^^iT:.^"- " *•■ ■ ■.♦ OCTOBBB 19, 1905.

On many, how- ever, the same old hovels existed as of yore, noticeably in the two botanic gar- dens of Dublin. The English gardener labors under great disadvantage, as compared with other occupations. In the past forty years the wages in England of mechan- ics, masons and carpenters, for instance, have increased over seventy-five per cent, while the wages of under gardeners have increased only about thirty-five per cent; thus while a carpenter or a mason is able to earn 50 shillings per week, an under gardener can earn only 18 or 20 shill- ings. Again, in the hours of labor, the gardener must work an average of ten or ten and one-half hours per day, while the mechanic is required to work only nine hours per day. This state of affairs offers no inducement to bright young men to enter the gardening business; better wages and a more promising field take them elsewhere. The result of this, is, according to my observation, that in England gardening as a business is in a decadent condition. The young men en- gaged in it average lower in intelligence and ambition than obtained twenty-five or thirty years ago. FORC3NG PEONIES. What would be the proper time to set peonies in for Christmas forcing, also for Easter! C. D. Wm. A. Peterson says that he does not consider it practicable to force peo- nies for bloom before February 1. The plants should be lifted in October and placed in a cold frame, where they will be accessible when the time arrives for forcing. After the plants are started under glass a temperature of from 55 to 60 degrees shoiUd be maintained as uniformly as possible. The plants should be fed liberally with liquid ma- nure. It takes about eight weeks to de- velop flowers. To secure the best blooms remove the lateral buds as soon as they are formed. The plants must have two years' rest before they can be forced again. HiLLSBORO, III. — F. C. Winkelmann is preparing hotbeds for growing lettuce. ASPARAGUS IN FLORIDA. The growing of asparagus for cutting, for plants and for seed has become a large industry at several points in Flori- da, where the climatic conditions seem especially suitable. The plants of As- paragus plumosus nanus are grown in lath houses, such as one shown in the accompanying illustrations reproduced from photographs taken at the Yalaha Conservatories of Gillett & James, at Yalaha. The lath structures of this firm cover three acres, 148,000 plants be- ing cut from, one acre being devoted to growing strings for decorative purposes. They also harvest over a million seeds each year and find the demand constantly on the increase. The other picture shows how the Spren- geri is grown, in boxes outdoors in the shade of fine old moss-covered oaks. It is not only a beautiful spot but one which seems to suit the Sprengeri "right down to the ground," as the saying is. There are 57,000 plants all in boxes set in rows, on "horses," two boxes on each pair of horses. The boxes are eight feet long, ten inches deep and fourteen inches ,wide. There are seven acres just like the comer of the grove shown in the pic- ture. The boxes give fine drainage and rich soil and plenty of feeding are used with the result of a most abundant crop of sprays and seeds. GAS PIPE FOR WATERING. Please let me know if I can use 1-inch pipe, formerly used for gas pipe, for watering plants in the greenhouses. Will any harm come to the stock? A. G. I doubt if there would be any dele- terious effects from using second-hand gas pipes for water mains. There is often a strong odor about such pipes when first removed but if water or a solution of potash can be allowed to run through the pipes for a few days be- fore using them for watering plants no ill effects will result. ll C.

The gardenia that is forced for win- ter flowering is a form of G. jasminoides, or G. florida, known as G. Veitchii. The method of culture is, briefly, as follows: The cuttings are taken from the parent plants in January and rooted in a sand bed in a warm propagating house, after which they are potted off into small pots and grown On in a temperature of about 60 degrees. The young plants are repotted as they require it, given plenty of moisture and kept free of insects, and toward midsum- mer should be in fit condition to be planted out on a bench containing five to six inches of rich and well-drained soil. A slight shading is usually required at this season, but should only be enough to protect the plants from the strongest rays of the sun, plenty of Ught being needed to secure a strong and well- ripened growth. Much care must be given to avoid extremes of dryness or of moisture dur- ing the autumn, the object being to keep the roots in perfect working condition, l«w^!a;-^- ■■■__.... :\i m^ Growing Asparagus Plumosus in Florida, l4l«MiPlllNI|^IJ(P*» g«iw^HS "Jl.fi'!' 1216 The Weekly Rorists^ Review* OCTOBBB 19, 1905. either extreme being liable to cause the loss of flower buds. During the winter a night temperature of 65 degrees seems to give the best re- sults, and the most successful growers get their best returns from young plants each season. As to the profits much depends upon the available market, and unless a rea- sonably good price is received for the crop the percentage of profit to the grower is not very large. The soil that is most favored for bench-grown gardenias is a rather light loam, well enriched with old stable manure and bone dust. ' W. H. Taplin. EVERLASTING BENCHES. The inconvenience and expense of fre- quently rebuilding wooden tables, and the accidents which not infrequently hap- pen through their rotting out, has re- sulted in a very wide interest in per- manent benches of other material. Quite small clamps driven into place in the hollow places in the slabs. Quite a number of growers are experi- menting with this bench and have found it very easy to erect. It is only neces- sary to level the greenhouse floor and set the parts in place, for they interlock and the bench will neither sag nor fall. The benches can be built of any width desired, a bench four feet wide requiring two rows of 24-inch slabs, or a bench five feet wide three rows of 20- inch slabs. As the standards have the same compartments as the slabs, to ar- range for heating pipes under the bench, it is only necessary to insert a rod through the standards as a support on which the pipes rest. It is equally easy to hang the pipes on the side of the bench if so desired. The standards are made so that the bench is twenty-four inches high to the top of the 5-inch side board.

We are frequently asked for instruc- tions as to the care of cut flowers. Will you kindly give a few clear and concise rules which can be given to the retail custonier, telling how to care for flowers when received! F. A. S. This is a question often asked of the sales people in cut flower stores and us- ually the clerk is ready with advice, giving the methods employed for the care of stock in the store. The George Witt- bold Co., Chicago, has found it worth while to have a small card printed and every package of cut flowers which goes out of their three stores contains the following : "Directions for care of long-stemmed cut flowers : "Becut stems of flowers with sharp knife, before placing in vase, after that every day. "Every night plunge flowers in deep jar so that the water covers the stems nearly up to the bloom. Place in a tem- perature from 40 to 50 degrees, with moist tissue paper over flowers. In thi» manner flowers will recuperate if they get wilted. "In day-time place back in ordinary vase, and keep them out of draught."

The Weekly Florists' Review* J2J7 THE IDEAL SALESMAN. [An e««ay by Patrick Welch, of Boston, awarded second price in the contest originated and conducted by the Review correspondent at Philadelphia.] Goods do not show a profit until they are sold. In the production of plants and cut flowers, as well as other classes of merchandise, the producer is always pay- ing out up to the time his goods are ready for the market; then he comes face to face with the problem of selling his goods to advantage, so that he will not only get back what has been ex- pended but also a living profit. It is a recognized fact among the pro- ducers of cut flowers that it is difficult to secure salesmen capable of success- fully disposing of the goods grown in any of our large establishments. To be a successful salesman there are certain qualifications necessary. The applicant should possess education suffi- cient to read and write well and speak correctly the language of the country in which he expects to sell his goods. He need not be a brilliant conversationalist, but should give his customer the credit of knowing the rudiments of his busi- ness, and hence should not waste time proving or explaining matters which are at least supposed to be known. Modern business men do not take kindly to a salesman who is not practical. He should possess special knowledge of the care, cultivation and cost of pro- duction, etc., so that he may at all times be prepared to explain the good qualities and name correctly certain varieties of flowers or plants which he may be called upon to dispose of. It is likewise necessary that he should have a thorough knowledge of the class of goods offered by his competitors, the price asked for the same from day to day, not for the purpose of enabling him to depreciate his competitor's goods or undersell him, but for the purpose of comparison and of counteracting any argument against his own goods. I do not know of anything that can be done by a traveling salesman that is more dangerous to his success than to be continually depreciating the goods offered for sale by his competitors. Such a practice is mean and cowardly, proving him who is guilty of it to have no pretension whatever to the title of a gentleman. If you expect to achieve 8ucc«ss let it be done by the use of your own energy, your own brains, your own persistence, not at the cost of the repu- tation of those with whom you are obliged to compete. A salesman should never be indifferent to the interest of his employer. He should keep before his mind the necessity of selling each day all the goods he pos- sibly can and at a price that will return a reasonable profit. In working along these lines care must be used not to attempt to extract from a purchaser any more than what is a just figure. It is as much wrong to overcharge for goods and inflict an injury on the purchaser as it is to undersell and work an injustice on your employer. "Honesty is the best policy." Work done by a man in an honest, upright and straightforward manner cannot be otherwise than appre- ciated and rewarded by those who employ him, aa well as all others with whom he may do business. A good, clever salesman will always keep before his mind the fact that he should make a good appearance, be tact- a.'c ;„.'; ; . '. Patrick Velch. ful and agreeable. If he finds his cus- tomer busy at other work he should not force himself or demand his time. It does a man no good to have his patience worn out. When a party to whom he expects to sell goods is not prepared to purchase, he can await an opportunity when the customer is in a mood when he can be reached and a nice bill of goods sold. Bight here I might be permitted to suggest that it is well to remember that the custom in practice among the trade at present is that a sale is not made until the goods are delivered and ac- cepted by the purchaser. This point is one that calls for a selling agent being thoroughly conversant with the nature and makeup of the goods he is offering for sale. It likewise devolves upon the house to see that all goods are shipped in strict accordance with all agreements that may be made by its representatives. There is no time in a salesman's ex- perience when he is called upon to exer- cise so much nicety and skill as when he is first introduced to a would-be pur- chaser. He should appear practical and marshal his thoughts. As a rule first impressions count for a great deal, and if he is clever his success at this par- ticular time will depend on his sagacity and he may secure a customer which it may have taken years for his compet- itors in business to get. A young man who expects to become a clever salesman should practice tem- perance. It is not absolutely necessary that he should be a total abstainer, but it is a fact beyond dispute that the drinking of intoxicating liquors can only be done at the expense of health and reason. Whatever obstacles a salesman may have to surmount or whatever diffi- culties he may have to conquer in the faithful performance of his duty, if he intends to be steady and constantly oc- cupied with the work to which he is assigned, he can do all these things in a more complete and satisfactory manner if he practices temperance than he can if his intellect is darkened and confused, his sound and sterling qualities de- stroyed. A salesman should be careful not to misrepresent the quality of goods offered for sale or attempt to dispose of any grade or variety he is not sure can be delivered. It is absolutely necessary that his every act should be honest, square and upright to gain the confidence of men with whom he expects to build up a permanent business. No man can be successful as a sales- man who fails to take a pride in his work, prove to his employer that he has a love for it, like that of the artist or poet. Compensation should not be the first consideration. Work because it is your great pleasure to work. Sooner or later you will become so valuable to the firm or corporation by whom you are employed that they cannot afford to dispense with your services. When that day does come, as it surely will, like the artist, you will be paid the full price for the picture you have taken years to paint. 1218 The Weekly Florists' Review. OCTOBEB 19, 1908.

Mushrooms are fetching 25 to 75 cents a pound and greenhouse tomatoes 10 to 12 cents a pound. ;-y: CAULIFLOWER, To have a crop ready for cutting around Christmas and New Year, the plants should be planted in their matur- ing quarters not later than the first week of November. Some time ago I advised regarding the sowing of the seed and the after care of the plants, and if these have been properly timed and grown on, good stocky plants should now be ready for setting. The chief point in the production of cauliflower is to keep the plants growing freely from start to finish. A check in any way, or at any time during their growth, will result in what is known as buttoning, or, in other words,- the pre- mature production of the flower ' before the plants are strong enough to produce a marketable article. Besides by a check in growth, button- ing is sometimes produced by club root, which is the work of a minute maggot, but this club root is seldom very preva- lent in a greenhouse crop. Sourness of the soil is one of its chief causes, and as this is easily guarded against where the moisture and its application are en- tirely under control, the disease is sel- dom present to any hurtful extent. In some soils, however, it is prevalent under any conditions and in such cases, after the grower is satisfied that it is present in the soil, the only sure method of eradicating it is to sterilize the soil, un- less a different soil can be conveniently procured. Oftoliflower can be grown in raised benches, but they are much easier han- dled and do much better in solid beds or right on the floor of the house. Here less water is needed, as they have the natural moisture from below the surface. The time when most water is needed and when liquid manure can most advan- tageously be applied is from the time the heads are formed until they are nearly finished. This is allowing for a fairly rich soil, but in the case of a poor soil liquid manure can be applied almost at any stage of their growth, should the plants show signs of needing nourishment. A goqd fertilizer to use is nitrate of soda, its quick acting proper- ties giving the plants a chance of deriv- ing the full benefit of the manure during the short season of their growth. In slower acting manures a good deal would be lost to the crop in hand, though of course the crop following would get the advantage. We have seen an applica- tion of nitrate of soda prove very help- ful to plants attacked by club root. If the plants are not too badly affected its action seems to check the further spread of the disease and so stimulate the plants that they are able to outgrow the harm already done. W. S. Ceoydon.

T6xas is the land where the sun shines at summer heat and the next hour sees the mercury hovering around the freez- ing point, where the soil more than re- pays one for the working, where two crops a year may easily be raised, where frost seldom comes before the middle of October and where roses are blooming outdoors today and cou^pare very favor- ably, with the northern-grown article, where nature smiles continuously and where floriculture is as yet in its infancy and where the possibilities for future re- turns cannot be estimated. Texas is the land of diversified soil, where the soil changes its color and productiveness every few miles and where the people are always ready with open arms to wel- come the stranger within their gates. Four weeks inside the borders of this great state have taught me many things. It has taught me that our profession is as yet in its infancy here and that the pioneers have had to overcome 'many difficulties, in order to attain the present degree of success. The cultivation of fiowefs in this sec- tion is ot recent date, a few years at most, and the florist has.iiad many ob- stacles to overcome. First was water, which pumped from driven wells was im- pregnated with sodium and literally burned everything which it touched. Next came the difficult task of educating the people to buy what was raised. This took several years to accomplish by pains- taking efforts and at considerable loss of money, until today it is hard to find a town of any size withput one or two florists' establishments doing a good business. Owing to the extreme heat of July and August there is little stock grown, with the possible exception of the periwinkle, which is the staple crop for funeral designs. Gladioli and tuberoses do well, but only under shade. The cul- tivation of roses inside is as yet in its trial state, some florists stating that it cannot be done. This I am not yet ready to admit. Time will answer the question fully. Carnations, mums and violets thrive here famously, what I have so far seen, with one exception, being far in advance of those grown farther north. Boses out of doors are just coming in and I have seen some of the finest cut blooms it has been my good fortune to ever see. As yet there is very little landscape work done here, the absence in some localities of professional landscape gar- deners being the cause, while in other places it is uphill work to convince the average citizen of the utility and beau- tifying effect of plants and shrubs around his home. In most of the towns civic leagues have been organized and prizes have been given for the best gardens. The question of city parks has been taken up and all along the line improve- ments are noticed. Time, I have no doubt, will work wonders here. Every- thing is propitious, soil and climate. What seems to be needed most is the get- ting together of the florists in this sec- tion once in a while to exchange views, so that each can profit in his respective locality. Prices are as yet small com- pared with the amount received by the northern growers, but persistent effort to excel in production will gradually bring the prices up to where the grower will receive a satisfactory remuneration. Prices in this territory at present are: Roses, from 50 to 75 cents per dozen ; carnations, 50 cents; violets 25 cents per bunch. The immense amount of roses blooming outdoors is the cause. Narcissus. BALTIMORE. The Market. We are having ideal October weather, with bright days and very cool nights, btit as ydt no frost -heavy enough to kill outdoor stock, a9d business is not as good as it might be. Naturally the mar- ket is overstocked with a lot of cheap stuff, such as dahlias, pink and white Cochet roses and Fisher carnations. Some fine American Beauty roses are coming in, but only in limited quantities. Brides, Maids and Gates are improving in flower, stem and quantity. Plenty of good white carnations can be had and are moving very satisfactorily. Most pink varieties are yet of very short stem. Chrysanthemums are more plentiful and the best white sell well, with plenty of the smaller pink and white carried over. There are daily shipments of vio- lets, but they are not ready sellers and yet very small. Greens are mote plenti- ful, especially good sprays of Sprengeri. Various Notes. George Cook has bought a large tract of land at Pimlico, Md., and is building several greenhouses. Harry Ekas has just completed a fine house for carnations. Henry Eberhardt is slowly recovering from his broken leg, the result of his horse running away, although it will be several months before he ¥^ be able to be about business again. One of R. L. Graham's fine delivery horses was found dead in the stable the past week. Mrs. George Personette has opened a flower store at West North avenue near Park. Bolgiano & Son gave a free dahlia show at their store, which attracted many visitors. Wm. Terry has put up a new boiler house 16x23 and has installed a new gaso- line engine. A fine bunch of Mrs. Roosevelt dah- lias was shown at the last club meeting, raised from cuttings and said to be from plants from four to five feet high. They were grown by Mr. Uflfler, gardener for Mrs. T. Harrison Garrett. Fred Bauer, of Govanstown, has com- pleted a large shed, with office and a cellar for storage purposes. Mrs. Mary Johnson, of West Madison street, has completed renovating her store, throwing two rooms into one, the floor having been laid in tile with an at- tractive large bow window. She is now more able to handle her increasing trade. R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons, of White Marsh, Md., are cutting extra flne dahlias and shipping large quantities of them to this market. Griffith & Turner Co. report a heavy demand on all good forcing bulbs and are unable to fill further orders for some grades. They report that Kiloscale has proven a wonderful success for San Jose scale. Every fiower salable on Saturday, Oc- tober 14, cleaned out. Many more car- nations and chrysanthemums could have been handled to good advantage at the Exchange. A. F. ?'>*?"' ^'Jt>^?w^. 'iw5?7J?7?^ " OCTOBBB 19, M06. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 121^ BOSTON. The Market v><".'>* ■•■•■>-' ji. :.(''. Arrivals of chrysanthemums are now increasing and with a eontiauance of clear, warm weather, with masiiiium temperatures as high as 80 degrees in the shade, the output of all seaecmable flowers is getting heavier. Add to this the fact that many sections of oor state still have dahlias, asters, cosmos, etc, in full bloom and it is little wonder that the market shows a drooping tendency. What is now needed is a killing frost and cooler weather to stimulate buying. Weddings are now numerous and use a good number of flowers, chrysanthemums being the favorites. American Beauties maintain previous quotations, but other sorts are somewhat lower. The supplies, however, of these are lessening, many houses being nearly off crop. Carnations are very abundant and blooms of some varieties are of extra fine quality. While a few select flowers may reach $3 to $4, good average flowers have sold at $1.50, with common grades lower. Violets are improving in quality and bring from 30 to 50 cents for both singles and doubles. Chrysan- themums are already inclined to be druggy. A few select flowers reach $12, but $6 to $8 is a more conomon price. A few Ivory made their appearance this week. Quite a tevf outdoor flowers, such as dahlias, cosmos and gladioli, still come in. Lily of the valley is of good quality and unchanged in price. Liliums sell quite well, being in some demand for weddings. Asparagus and adiantum are of extra fine quality, with no change in prices. Club Meedng. It has become something of a hack- neyed phrase to term each succeeding meeting of the Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club a record breaker, but certainly the 150 people present and en- thusiasm at the meeting on October 17 surpassed anything in the previous his- tory of the club. The members of the North Shore Horticultural Society, who were guests of the Boston Club, turned out in good numbers and seemed to thor- oughly enjoy the evening. J. A. Petti- grew 's lecture, * ' Park and Garden Work in European Cities," was most interest- ing. The nineteen applications read showed that the high water membership of the club has not yet been reached, for more are promised for the November meeting. There were some very interesting ex- hibits, visitors from a distance, music and refreshments, but more extended notice of these must wait until our next. The effort to form a glee club is being favorably received. This should ensure good music at all succeeding meetings. The outing at Waban Conservatories was set for October 28. Various Notes. William K. Nicholson, eldest son of William Nicholson, the well known Fram- ingham florist, was married on October 18 to Miss Florence Goodell at the bride's home, Union avenue, South Framingham. Quite a number of promi- nent members of the craft were present and the happy couple were well re- membered in the way of presents. After the honeymoon they will reside in the cozy and substantial home recently se- lected near the Pleasant Hill Conserva- tories in Framingham. We cordially ex- tend congratulations. Mann Bros, are sending in quantities of very fine dahlias daily to the Park street market and they sell well. While many fields have been frozen, Mann Bros, hare saved theirs by lighting a number of charcoal fires on cold nights and leaving a man to care for them, the smoke being suffieient to ward off the froat. S. J. Goddaxd is bringing in some splendid blooms of his new carnation, Helen Goddard, with long stems. This new variety sells on sight. He also has fine Cardinal, Prosperity, Patten, En- chantress and Fiancee. The latter shows some disease and an inclination to burst. The product of the J. Montgomery Sears estate of Southboro, Mass., is to be disposed of commercially this season. It hardly seems fair that the produce from millionaires' greenhouses should come in direct competition with that from hard working, struggling florists. Peirce Bros, are bringing in chrysan- themums in the same old quantities at their Park street market stands. Their carnations promise exceedingly well. William Nicholson is marketing some splendid Fiancee, Prosperity, Patten, Enchantress and other carnations. R. Witterstaetter *s new varieties are look- ing extra well with him. "The best we ever had" is the re- port on the bulb trade from the dealers. Tom Butterworth 's greenhouses at South Framingham are at present very attractive, with a wealth of orchid bloom. H. N. Eaton, of South Sudbury, has been forwarding extra fine consignments of early chrysanthemums to the Park street market. McMulkin had the extensive decora- tions for the marriage of Miss Gladys Lawson, daughter of our well known Frenzied Finance Lawson, to E. L. Stan- wood, at Dreamwold Hall, on October 10. The gypsy moth committee of the state announces that the area affected by the moth has increased from 395 square miles last year to 2,082 square miles. As this is about one-fourth Ihe area of Massachusetts, the extension is viewed with much apprehension. The spread of the brown tail moth has been much wider. S. J. Goddard furnished large quanti- ties of flowers for a wedding decoration in Maine on October 16. Thomas Boland, of Nahant, who is going into the plant trade more heavily each year, has this season the largest and finest stock he ever had of all the best flowering plants, including Gloire de Lorraine begonias, ericas, acacias, cyclamen, primulas, poinsettias, azaleas, etc. The annual meeting of the Massachu- setts Horticultural Society occursi on Saturday, November 18. The stall holders of the Park street market are anticipating a delightful evening on the occasion of their annual meeting and dinner to be held on Octo- ber 27. W. N. Ceaio. Springfield, III. — Announcement is made of the marriage of Wm. T. Buck- ley and Miss Margaret Dwyer. Bowling Green, O. — Mrs. Andreas has a nice show oiP chrysanthemums at her place on West Wooster street. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. The out-of-town shipping orders have sustained the market in spite of con- tinued heavy supplies of all kinds of flowers. The demand for Beauties and fancy chrysanthemums has been excel- lent. Dahlias are falling off a little with some growers, but the Atco shipments continue heavy. Prices are of course low, but as high as can be expected in the absence of frost. Carnations are a little off crop; an improvement over the low prices prevalent during the first half of October is anticipated. The poorer" grades of roses, chrysanthemums and carnations find their way to the street men, and occasionally the better grades. The chrysanthemum market broke badly on Saturday, poorer flowers from the earlier houses going on the street for a song. Taken all through, conditions are fairly satisfactory. The Flower Market. The annual meeting of the stockhold- ers of the Flower Market was held in the secretary's office at Horticultural hall, on Monday morning, October 16. The treasurer's report showed an ex- cellent year, with a satisfactory balance in hand. Considerable trading in the stock was evidenced by the roll call. It was understood that the prices paid were full value. On motion the election of the directors was postponed until a spe- cial meeting, as it is desired to reduce the number from nine to flve. William K. Harris presided. Horticultural HalL The close of the bedding plant sea- son makes a few notes on the planting in Fairmount park of interest. Oglesby B. Paul, the landscape gardener, has planted the parterre practically as it was last season, the most noticeable change being in the festoons, which are planted with red alternantheras, with a streak of Golden Bedder coleus in the center. This lightens the effect of the ribbon fes- toons. The central beds were planted with the standard varieties of geraniums, coleus and a few of them with Abutilon Duke of Malikoff and eranthemum. The crowning feature of the planting, how- ever, is at the east or river end, where the cactus beds are most beautifully laid out. These reflect great credit on Xavier E. Schmitt, who executed the work. The usual years 1876 and the present, 1905, are laid out in Echeveria secunda glauca, with clover leaves and Maltese crosses at each side. The Chester Valley. Lawrence Thompson 's place consists of four houses 35x125 feet, even span, and open between, built of Lord & Burn- ham material. Mr. Thompson viaa at home, and showed the visitors as pretty a lot of carnation plants as could be desired. The houses were still shaded, the plants having just been benched. His varieties were Boston Market, The Queen, Flora Hill, Enchantress, Flam- ingo, Joost, Dorothy and Queen Louise. The whole effect of the place was that of a thoroughly businesslike establish- ment, with a good grower at the helm. Mr. Thompson said that the cut flowers would go to Edward Reid. Mushrooms are also grown here. On the way back to the main road a little greenhouse was passed that was supported by a fence on the south side. 1220 The Weekly Florists^ Review* OCTOBEB 19, 1905. Jonathan had often thought of utiliz- ing the heating pipe for supporting greenhouses, but the fence idea was a novel one, requiring consideration. Kennett was only a little further on and here the objective point was William Swayne's. Mr. Swayne welcomed his callers with a glad hand, a weed (not green) and a cordiality that was unmis- takable. His stock of carnations was in the houses, looking well, Mrs. Patton being especially praised for last season's performance. Very few of the other varieties were yet in flower. Their names would simply be a repetition of .those given in this column before, with the addition of the best known novelties grown for stock. The chrysanthemums were very fine. Among the varieties noted were Glory of Pacific, Estelle, much favored by Mr. Swayne; Ivory, invaluable for side benches; Mrs. George S. Kalb, Col. Ap- pleton, Enguehard and Mrs. Whilldin, not often seen now but found very profit- able here. William Swayne may fairly be called a great grower. He has withstood the financial strain of bad years and he has prospered. " His place looks well, as it always does. Possibly you may want to know how to tell a great grower when you see him. One way is by his plants, but it is possi- ble for the plants of a great grower not to be in the pink of condition. In that case there are other tests. A great grower will stop you in front of a dead plant and discuss what killed it, without a shade of mortification that such a thing should be found on his place. A great grower will allow you to walk on any path you please instead of insisting taking you down certain paths. He will also narrate his troubles, battles with in- sects, fungus, etc., and show more pride in the victory over cut worms than in a table of absolutely perfect plants. Wil- liam Swayne has all these qualities, and may fairly be termed a great grower. His clip is handled by William J. Baker. Time unfortunately prevented visiting Hicks & Sons, so with farewells to Ed- ward Parker, and to Morris, David and Jonathan boarded the Philadelphia train at Kennett. Various Notes. H. H. Battles has offered a prize in House and Garden for the best method of keeping cut flowers, the judges to be the members of the Garden Club, an organization of ladies at Chestnut Hill. The members of the Florists* Club will go out to Strafford on the 1:15 p. m. train Thursday, -October 26, to visit Edward A. Stroud and see his famous carnation plants. There are several at- tractive features on the program. George Parsons, of the Henry A. Dreer Co., reports an unusually heavy demand for tulips for outdoor planting. There has been a slight shortage in supplies, but the demand for such standard varie- ties as Artus, Bell Alliance, Cottage Maid, Chrysolora, Yellow Prince and Keizerskroon has been unprecedented. The planting at Fairmount park has been heavier than usual. Mr. Parsons also reports a shortage in Roman hya- cinths and an over-supply of Paper White narcissus. The situation gener- ally is very satisfactory. Paul Eichter, manager of the Henry F. Miehell Co., has just finished work on a new implement catalogue, designed to fill the growing demand for the best grade of tools and labor-saving con- trivances of all kinds. Mr. Bichter states that the company's business in these im- plements fully justifies the great labor involved in carrying out the details of this catalogue. Jos. Heacock, of Wyncote, has expe- rienced an unusual demand for his ken- tias during the past two months. His cut of Beauties has doubled that of last season. . _ • • Dumont & Co. claim to be the cosmos kings, their shipments of this fall flower being especially heavy. They have some very fine flowers of Polly Rose and other fancy chrysanthemums. William J. Moore has advised his growers to double their planting of cer- tain choice dahlias for next season. The varieties shall be nameless. He is re- ceiving some choice flowers of Enchan- tress, Lawson, The Queen and other fine carnations. W. E. McKissick is handling some es- pecially nice Polly Rose. His Brides and valley are also very fine. A. Patterson, with Geo. Craig, has re- turned from Dakota. W. J. Sherry, of Johnson & Stokes, called Phil's attention to a nice lot of rubber plants grown at Mr. Stokes' Moorestown nursery. The Henry F. Miehell Co. has rented the fourth floor of 1022 Market street to use as a warehouse. Eugene Bernheimer is receiving some nice valley. His autumn foliage is popular. Edward Reid is working nobly to keep down the surplus of flowers. R. C. Hayden is hard at work mapping out the winter campaign. Samuel S. Pennock had an extra heavy shipping day last Monday. Twice he called on his Beauty growers that day; twice they responded to the call. F. & H. Merganthaler have their place in fine condition. Brides, Maids, liber- ties, smilax, asparagus and chrysanthe- mums are all in good shape and a num- ber of houses have been planted with carnations. They are very promising. On my visit to M. Rice & Co. I found everyone from the head of the firm down to the packers as busy as they could be, more than four truck loads of goods being shipped that day to all parts of the country. They report business far ahead of last year. The current varieties of chrysanthe- mums for the present week, besides those already mentioned, are Omega and Oc- tober Beauty, seen at Hugh Graham's; HaUiday, Premo and Monrovia, seen at the Leo Niessen Co. 's. These are all yellows. Answers to G>rrespondents. Review readers are Invited to send any ques- tions relating to culture or marketing of plants and flowers In Philadelphia to Phil, In care of the leading seed or commission houses or the Flower Market. Each question will be sub- mitted to a competent person and answered under number. Correct name and address must alwa.ys accompany Inquiry, but will not be pub- lished. 42. — Suppose a grower has a house planted with, let us say, Boston ferns, for stock. Would it be better to throw these i)lants away after taking off at the runners, or. to pot them up and sell them at a low price? We mean that selling these plants will break the market, as we have enough for ordinary demand al- ready. Better to pot them up and sell them, if at a profit. 43. — Name the principal Bride and Maid growers who supply the Philadel- phia market. I assume that this means the wholesale market only, and therefore omit those who do not make a specialty of these roses. The following list, while incomplete, will give a fair idea of where five-sixths of the stock is grown: John F. Andre, Jos. Beavis & Sons, Geo. E. Campbell, H. W. Collins, Geo. F. Chris- tie, Henry J. Faust, the Floral Ex- change, Jennings Bros., C. F. Knorr & Bro., Stephen Mortensen, Wm. Munro, John Savage, Robt. Scott & Sons, James Berner, Eugene Weiss and W. A. Leon- ard. 44. — We have a bed of yellow cannas bought from two different growers as Buttercup. One grows three feet high, with bright yellow flowers. The other also has yellow flowers, but is six feet high. Please name the varieties. The first is evidently Buttercup. It is diffi- ctilt to tell what the other is without seeing it. 45. — Who were the judges in "The Ideal Salesman" contest? There were two judges. Their names are not an- nounced. Phil. NEW ORLEANS, State of Trade. - The florists and horticulturists of New Orleans, find the usual early fall dearth of business to contend with, but every- thing points to a bright and prosperous autumn season and a repetition of last winter's splendid trade. Business of nearly every description suffered a serious set-back as a result of the yellow fever, but as the disease is now well under control, and the indica- tion is that it will be entirely stamped out in a few weeks, the probabilities are that all branches, the florists included, will take on the activity to be expected with the advent of fall. The greater portion of the florists' regular customers, the wealthy people — those who give lawn parties in the late summer, and cotillons and dances in the winter, are still out of the city, and owing to their absence orders hardly come in with bountiful profusion. Flower Show Plans. The chrysanthemimi show, which the New Orleans Horticultural Society is to give during the month of November, is already attracting much attention, and every effort is being made to insure suc- cess for the affair. The horticulturists are progressive, they have an energetic president at their head, P. A. Chopin, and an able corps of officers, and are numbered among the city's foremost organizations, and once engaged on a purpose they spare no pains to attain the end they strive for. The chrysanthemum show, as a result of the society's growth and advance- ment, has become an annual thing, and t^ie people look forward to it with inter- est and pleasure. Competent committees have been appointed to do the prelimi- nary work, and the premium list was is- sued some weeks ago. J. A. Newsham, the chairman of the arrangement committee, spoken to sev- eral days ago, reported good progress on the work, and said that he expected an unqualified success. The hall for the show has not yet been secured, but some large building centrally located will be rented, and - ample room made for a large exhibit. •■ -v.'?~r f.iW^ '■. ■ •' -V T".--- -f,-ff>'.v'7ir»j':<.- -»■••.» ■-■ r October 19, 1905.

CHICAGO* The Market* The change in the weather caused a considerable shortening of stock in the later days of last week, but the decrease in receipts was not sufficient to do more than cause a slight stiflFening of price; it was still easily possible to fill orders. Business continues fair, most houses re- porting total sales ahead of the same period last year, but the demand is very spasmodic. The chrysanthemum is the predominat- ing influence this week. The receipts are not nearly as large as they will be for the next month, but they are, neverthe- less, somewhat ahead of the demand and nearly all houses are engaged in forc- ing the sales in this department. All colors are available and all grades of stock. The best flowers sell fairly well, but the market for the small stuff is decidedly weak, as low as $4 and $5 per hundred having been accepted for Berg- mann. The cuts of Beauty were cheeked up considerably by the change in tempera- ture, but stock is still of excellent quality and all orders are being filled if received sufficiently early in the day. Brides and Maids show little change from last week. Liberty and Richmond are selling well. Carnations are in somewhat diminished supply as compared with a week ago, but there are, nevertheless, quantities of short stock which are very hard to move, as there is enough of the better grades to go around. Some exceedingly good Enchantress are seen and in general the stock averages good flowers and long stems for the middle of October. Hudson River violets are arriving in quantity, probably due, as usual, to the fact that this market is making better returns than New York. Harrisii are very scarce, but callas are more plenti- ful. Frosts have ended dahlias, cosmos, gladioli, etc., with most growers, al- though a few are still seen. Green goods are still abundant and steady in price. ^ Qub Meeting. At the club meeting October 12 over 100 were present, including a number who confessed it was the first time they had ever been inside the clubroom. It was the largest attendance in years. The regular order of business was laid aside for a discussion of the approaching flower show. Many were called upon and each pledged support to the show. The selection of the Coliseum has sened to enthuse the trade and a grand exhibi- tion is assured. The discussion, which lasted two hours, is well summed up in Louis Wittbold's reply when called upon by President Rudd : ' ' The Wittbolds are not all here tonight but will be all there all right at the show. ' ' New officers were elected as follows: President, P. J. Hauswirth; vice-presi- dent, Leonard Kill; financial secretary, George Asmus; treasurer, Edgar Sand- ers; corresponding secretary, L. H. Win- terson; trustees, F. F. Benthey, W. L. Palinsky, H. N. Bruns, John Reardon, J. F. Klimmer. It is a good list. They take hold at the next meeting. E. S. Hauswirth and W. K. Wood were elected to membership and proposals were read from J. C. Bruecker, E. C. Benthey, Fred ('. Taylor, C. Frauen- felder, Henry Klucder, Sam Graff and H. R. Hughes. The amendment to the by-laws was adopted so that henceforth the club will meet but once a month, on the second Thursday night. A committee was authorized to pro- ceed with arrangements for a banquet during the flower show. Show Notes. A very successful "advertising show" closed yesterday at the Coliseum. Its purpose was to display the things which go to make advertising to those who buy such things. A flower show is to increase the sale of flowers. But there was this difference: The advertising show managers charged exhibitors $1 a square foot for space. The acre and a half of floor was pretty well filled. Flower show space is always free, with premi- ums added. There ought not to be any question of getting exhibits; the wonder is that the retailers don't howl because they can't have all the room they want. Arrangements are progressing rapidly for the big show November 7 to 11. The use of the Coliseum has awakened pub- lic interest in a very gratifying man- ner. Many outsiders are sending in suggestions. James Keeley, managing editor of the Tribune, has written to say that the show should be more than a mere display of growers' skill; it should teach the people what to plant, where and when. It is not an easy suggestion to carry out in November but the idea is so good an attempt will be made. A suggestion as to guides to explain to visitors is equally good. The Review has only one suggestion 1222 The Weekly Florists' Review. OCTOBEB 19, 1005. HELLO ! What's That ? A FEW FSCTS ONLY Cut Flowers should always be of the best quality possible.

The show is already getting good press work and will be well advertised. Various Notes. The Chicago Chronicle for October 11 says: "Chicago is the greatest flower market in the world and its twenty-eight wholesale cut flower houses handle over $5,000,000 worth of cut flowers alone during the year." That is altogether too good to be true. There are just seventeen places in Chicago where cut flowers are wholesaled. One day this summer three well versed wholesalers were talking of the volume of business done the past year and each wrote down an estimate on each house. The high- est total . was $1,370,000, the lowest $1,258,000 at wholesale value. The aver- age of the three totals was $1,301,000 and was probably not far wrong for the year ending July 1, 1905. Because of increased glass it should naturally be larger this year. E, C. Amling says that it is something surprising the way the use of asparagus strings has broadened since their char- acter and usefulness has become known through the country. Mr. Amling has had much to do with making them known, but possibly the fact that a never failing supply is offered has had as much as anything to do with it. The Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, has taken space with the E. F. Winterson Co. and opened last week with a large shipment of fine Estelle chrysanthemums, carnations and miscellaneous stock. It is Manager Hartshorne's intention to pur- chase in this market such stock as they do not grow at Joliet, to supply their shipping trade, which will be carried on from the Joliet greenhouses as here- tofore. Their stock is reported as all looking very good. L. Coatsworth, of the Benthey-Coats- worth Co., thinks they have a good thing in sight in the new pink rose, Joe Hill, plants of which were obtained last season from the E. G. Hill Co.

Mr. Coatsworth intends going to New Castle and Bichmond this week. Miss Annie K. LufFman, who was with Albert Fuchs and his successor, Henry Koropp, left last week for Spokane, Wash., where she will be with Miss Eose Wright. Miss Luffman is widely known in the trade as for several years she has been Mr. Stewart's assistant in charge of the secretary's office at the S. A. F. conventions. Wm. T. Buckley, of Springfield, 111., and Miss Margaret Dwyer came to Chi- cago October 11 and were quietly mar- ried. Nick Miller, formerly of Wilmette, who has for some time been with John Evans, at Richmond, Ind., has returned to take up the old work. H. Luedtke, the Maywood carnation grower, says that he is more than pleased with the way the new Fiancee- pink carnation, Wm. Penn, has acted thus far in the season; fine grower; very free bloomer. Sam Pieser is officiating at the cash- ier's window during the absence of G. E, Pieser, secretary of the Kennicott Bros. Co., who is in New York for two weeks. Wietor Bros, are cutting some very good mums. They have the largest list of varieties of any grower in these parts. Bassett & Washburn are very well pleased with the new white chrysanthe- mum, Mme. Clementine Touset. Mr. Washburn says he thinks it will prove to be our best commercial white. Weiland & Eisch are highly pleased with the new Wellesley rose. They are just beginning to cut good long stems in quantity. The color is fine and the flower has great substance. W. N. Eudd is sending the Winterson Co. excellent blooms of Midoct, one of Elmer Smith's seedling chrysanthe- mums. It is a fine deep pink and espe- cially valuable because so early. W. E. Lynch, in E. H. Hunt's mar- ket report, says that although sales foot up a good total, customers buy in a ' * lackadaisical ' ' manner. Good word, that. The dictionary says it means lan- guid or listless. - Good old Mrs. Eobinson is not yet out of the race.

The Market Carnations are very scarce and, while plenty of medium grade roses are on the market, good stock is hard to find, bring- ing from $6 to $8 per hundred. Chry- santhemums are quite plentiful but mostly white. Violets are still very poor. Business was fairly good the past week, a number of weddings and store openings keeping every one pretty well on the move. Various Notes. A recent visit to a number of estab- lishments in the eastern part of the city showed a lot of fine stock. Herman Knope, foreman at Breitmeyer's Mack avenue place, is to be congratulated on the condition of the stock, it being in tip-top shape. Their mums are looking fine, having nice clean foliage and stems of good length. Among other things they have a fine bench of Adiantum Farley- ense, some nice Bostons, a good lot of Nephrolepis elegantissima and, last but not least, three benches of fine poinset- tias. George Backham has been having his share of trouble with thrips, this miser- erable pest having caused him many a poor night's sleep by invading his rose houses. His carnations are in good shape, and as reported before, he has a fine bench of cyclamens. A number of cement benches are to be seen here. G. H. Taepke's new range of houses, where carnations only are grown, is in first-class shape. They are cutting lots of fine stock for so early in the season. On their old place everything is also in good order. They have an abundance of good roses and will cut lots of mums this fall. The Foley cable ventilator in use at this place is giving entire satisfaction. A visit was next paid to J. F. Sulli- van's establishment. Here a fine house of Killarney rose is to be seen. The other stock is also looking good, includ- ing some benches of mums. The sewer draining the water from the boiler pit into Conner's creek, is being lowered several feet, necessitating the digging of a very deep trench. The last asters of the season were also seen at ' ' Sully 's. ' ' Chas. Plumb has been very busy this summer installing two large new boil- ers. Among other things he has a fine lot of Jerusalem cherries and celestial pepper plants; also a fine bench of poin- settias. J. Krumholz is very busy getting things in shape for winter. He is cutting some very fine Gov. Wolcott. A house of Kaiserin has proved a very paying investment this summer. B. Schroeter was quite busy the latter part of last week, with a large store decoration. His stock is also looking good. He makes a specialty of plants, having a fine lot of palms, rubbers, cro- tons, etc. Besides a fine laench of their new pink sport of Enchantress of which S. S. Skidelsky has the sale, they have several houses of other carnations and mums, also some good Meteors and a large collection of orchids. A bogus check man has been around gathering some loose change among the retailers. F. B. Lesher, of Fremont, O., was a recent visitor. H. S. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The florists about the city are still complaining in regard to the extreme dullness of business. The heavy receipts of stock at all the four wholesale houses adds to the embarrassment of the situa- tion. Prices were knocked down to al- most nothing on all grades except the extra fancy. In roses there are plenty in all grades and varieties. To quote the prices of the past week would hardly look well cm. paper. Chrysanthemums are hardly in as yet in large quantities and the commission men are holding them at rather stiff prices, considering the dull business. Carnations are much better. These are not nearly so plentiful as roses; still, enough of them are in for the de- mand, with extra fancy as low as $2 per hundred, Violets have improved greatly since the cool weather arrived. These are selling fairly well at 25 cents per hundred. The frost has put an end to the long lingering outdoor stock, such as cosmos, dahlias, asters and tube- roses. In greens there is everything one wants, and plenty of it, at usual prices. Quite a number of the' downtown florists are displaying signs in their windows, selling roses at 15 cents per dozen. Qub Meeting. The club held its regular monthly meet- ing October 12 in Odd Fellows' Hall, twenty-six members being present when Vice-president Steidel called the meeting to order. The flower show committee was making its report when President Ammann arrived and took the chair. The committee reported progress and that everything was in readiness for a suc- cessful show next month. Mr. Weber, the chairman, again stated that the pre- miums will be paid in full the day after the show closes and that the money is already in the hands of the committee. Programs and advertising miatter will be out next week. 1224 The Weekly Florists' Review* -■■-..I- OCTOBBB 19, 1906. The Goods Are Here We can supply any quantity in any grade.

The "crape pulling" committee made a report condemning the practice. The press committee reported that time hung heavily on their hand^. The trustees reported that they had found a meet- ing hall in the new Strausberger music hall at the southeast corner of Grand and Shenandoah avenues. After a vote the club decided to hold its meetings hereafter in this hall. Owing to the next meeting of the club coming in flower show week, it was decided to hold the next meeting in the afternoon of the first Thursday in November. Five appli- cations were received, from E. Burrows, supply broker; R. J. Windier, retailer; J. M. Walther, grower; Martin Malan, clerk for Mrs. Ayers, and Henry Braun, foreman for A. Jablonsky. It was de- cided to continue sending printed pos- tal card notices of each meeting. Various Notes. The table decorations at the Simmons Hardware Co. opening were very much admired by the great crowds who visited the china department of this firm. Three tables were first set for a golden wed- ding, silver wedding and a wedding breakfast. Later dinner, reception and luncheon tables were shown. On Fri- day and Saturday hunting club, bachel- or's and Thanksgiving dinner tables were seen. Each day gome 2,000 roses were given to visitors. The work on the tables was by the Ellison Floral Co. and was a credit to the firm. Mrs. Ellison reports that she has taken many orders for dinners and weddings from this display. The entire floor was beau- tifully decorated with wild smilax, American Beauties and cosmos. A. C. Canfield, of Springfield, 111., spent Saturday here, visiting the trade. Mr. Canfield reports a big week during the state fair. Miss Belle Miller, of Springfield, 111., is sending splendid Carnots, with fault- less stems and foliage, also other fine roses. Fred Foster put in all his spare time at the horse show the past week. He made several entries and came in for some of the prize money. Nine cash prizes aggregating $500 are being offered by the tree planting com- WILD SNILSX NOW ON HAND Now is the time to buy your season's stock of WIRE WORK Get our discounts before you place the order for your season's supply.

Weber and William Scott Hancock, who are well known in the trade. Henry Ostertag was also conspicuous at the horse show the past week. He reports a number of large wedding or- ders for the end of the month. Dr. Heine Marks has introduced a resolution in the city council to provide for a city forester, whose duty it shall be to supervise the planting of trees and protection of same on the city streets. President Ammann at the club meet- ing appointed Theo Miller and J. J. Beneke a committee to look up transpor- tation for the members who wish to go to Kansas City during the flower show there. The chances are that the florists' bowling team will go to bring back the Kellogg cup offered for that week. The florist bowlers were again victori- ous on Thursday night, winning the match from the Enterprise team by good bowling, the team making 2,600 pins,, averaging 866 per game and 174 per man. Meinhardt was high, 563; Beyer, 544; Ellison, 509; Beneke, 496, and Kuehn, 486. This places the team third in the race. J. J. B. KANSAS QTY PREMIUMS. Louis W. Shouse, secretary at Kansas City, has issued a supplementary list of premiums for their third flower show, "November 13 to 18.

CINCINNATL TheMaricet Business took on a very good aspect last week and things began to move along in a manner that was very grati- fying. If this state of affairs continues there will be no kick coming during this season. The advent of the chrysanthemum was doubtless in great part the cause of the increase of trade. They are begin- ning to arrive in goodly numbers and they sold out fast, $3 per dozen being the top price. It looks as if there will be a large number of mums on the market this year, but with a good demand they ought to be disposed of to advantage. Roses continue about the same. The demand is fair only and the price low for the quality. Beauties sell well, though, and the price is well held. Car- nations are arriving in large quantities and the price continues low. The very best fancies bring $2 per hundred. All colors are plentiful, save good red. Some very good lilies are coming in now. Though we have had frosts, still the outdoor stuff has not been damaged to any great extent. Some very good valley is being cut by George & Allan. There has been a lively demand for all kinds of green goods. Various Notes. The regular monthly meeting of the Florists' Society was held last Satur- day evening. The committee on revision of the constitution reported and the changes they advised were adopted. It was decided to hold our flower show as usual. The first one, a chrysanthemum show, is to be held on the second Satur- day of November. The schedule has not been approved as yet but will be about the same as last year. The other shows will be of roses in February and carna- tions in March, to be held on our regu- lar meeting dates. The committee appointed to arrange for the shows consists of B. Witter- staetter, Ben George and J. Chas. Mur- phy. There were two good seedling chrysan- themums before the local committee last Saturday, from Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich., one a medium dark pink, the other cream white. Both were good for so early. C. P. Dieterich & Bro., of Maysville, Ky,, have completed a new carnation house. The benches are constructed of brick. So far the plants in this house have been doing extra well. I regret to report the death of Her- man G. Haerlin which occurred October 11. Mr. Haerlin was well known in trade circles in this city. He was 73 years old. Visitors: Martin Beukauf, Herbert Heller and Baldwin McGrew. C. J. Ohmee. NEV YORK. The Market In these days of ideal employers and salesmen the weather has decided to take a hand and the sunny south is not in it with the sunny east. But, apart from the dahlia growers, the language used to designate the character of the weather is anything but ideal. In fact, most of the wholesalers use a word of only one syl- lable to express their feelings and those of them who pray, which, of course, in- cludes the majority of them, are now using their spare time supplicating the manufacturer of the weather for a bitter and a nipping, old-fashioned, far-reach- ing frost and until their prayers are an- swered there will be no market and no business worthy of the name. Now that gladioli and asters are gone and dahlias packing up for a long jour- ney, the chrysanthemum is coming in a steady and ever widening stream. Fully two weeks ahead of any other season in quantity, size and beauty, the inevitable drop in values has already begun and on 1226 The Weekly Florists' Review. OCTOBEB 19, 1905.

Monday only a very few touched the high-water mark, $3 a dozen. It looks to me as if, as with the violet, there are too many of them and with such an early and beautiful start the race is likely to degenerate into a rout, and the Lord pity the "lame, the halt and the blind" among them. Roses have all siiflfered this week. On Monday the best Beauties could be bought for $15 and Brides and Maids for $4 per hundred. This is bottom, though, I am sure, for this season and before long they will all begin to climb. Some splendid Killarney and Kichmond are reaching the market and sell well, as do Kaiserin and Carnot. Most of the carnations are still short-stemmed and below the mark. The novelties are com- mencing to arrive, however, and really good stock sells readily. The best re- tailers are very particular, however, and are making the best of their power as arbiters of values. Violets are on the street and as com- mon as the sunflower in Kansas. This is due to the warm weather, doubtless, and with the breath of winter will come perfume and depth of color and associa- tion again with the diamonds upon the palpitating bosoms of society. Some ar- riving are still good enough for 50 cents a hundred. But the rest, well, it is an- other case of * ' buyer 's option. ' ' Strange to say orchids are over-abun- dant. This does not happen often. But when you find cattleyas in every retail window in the city you do not need to be told there are ' * enough and to spare. ' ' It would be the ' ' irony of fate ' ' if some day the demand for orchids should not be equal to the supply. This hardly seems possible in our generation. Some fine dahlias, the single and cac- tus varieties, still maintain their popu- larity and grace the retailers' windows. Lilies are increasing and weddings are running light, or else orchids are the thing for brides, considering the present surplus of valley. Variolic Notes.

Bowe had charge of the decorations and was ably assisted by that dean among artistic artificers in flowers, Arthur Merritt. This was the first all orchid decoration ever made in this country. Bride and maid carried orchid bouquets and orchids graced the manly bosoms of the groom and his as- sistants. Fifth avenue looked like a moving orchid garden after the cere- mony was over. Another great wedding at Shelburne, Vt., the Webb-Pulitzer affair, which oc- curred on Saturday, called for quite a little stock from here. The big automobile race on Saturday enticed many of the wholesale florists and a good many of the Long Island growers over to the course near Garden City. Prominent among the millionaire florists in his own auto was W. H. Sie- breeht and family, of Astoria. Next year he will be one of the racers, if a sharp eye is not kept on him. In fact, at the present rate of growth in value of land on tiong Island every florist over there will be bringing his goods to mar- ket in his automobile before the robins nest again. J. T. Lovctt's dahlias and herbaceous flowers are handled by A. J. Guttman. Inadvertently an error was made as to this in our report of the exhibits at the New York club meeting a week ago. John J. Perkins is handling some fine cattleyas at his headquarters on west Thirtieth street. Charles Millang received twenty large cases of evergreens and other stock from Holland on Monday, his second ship- ment, and will have another large im- portation before the season closes. The stock is excellent and is disposed of al- most as rapidly as assorted. Many of the big New York stores are using these goods and one Brooklyn house took a thousand plants on Tuesday. Starke & Kleine, of 52 West Twenty- ninth street, have leased a large green- house in Astoria for the care of their palms and ferns, their present quarters being limited and their business grow- ing rapidly, so that a permanent source of supply on which to draw at short notice became a necessity.

Current Cotniaeat, The rich shades of orange of the ma- ple, the bronze and scarlet of the oaks falling around us, with the beautiful yellow and bronze of the mums; surely these are pleasant days for the florist. We have had six or seven weeks of the most superb fall weather. No doubt many other sections can say the same, but that does not make ours the less beautiful. It seems our mums were a little earlier than ever before. Good Kalb were cut October 5. There are now rather more of the early varieties than can be profitably disposed of, especially as we are still having dahlias and gladi- oli in good condition. How well cosmos would sell! But it is not to be had in this town. Everybody likes cosmos. How easy to plant a hundred boxes say 6x12 and five inches deep and grow them all summer and remove to the houses before frost. The slightest frost kills it and, unfortunately, that frost always comes around here before the beautiful cosmos is in flower. Referring again to the chrysanthemum, it is doubtful whether you want too many of the early sorts. It takes two or three weeks to educate the flower buyers to a real fondness for the mum, but once they become the fashion they go fast enough. And after the long month of November they are scarce enough after Thanksgiving. There has not been muQh doing in so- ciety to call for flowers, but the busi- ness in funeral work has kept many busy. The funeral of Wm. B. Banken, Niagara Falls' leading citizen, was the occasion for a marvelous display of flowers. Orders as well as designs came from all over the state. The funeral of another prominent man, S. Fred Nixon, seven times speaker of the assembly at Albany, brought many orders for costly pieces. He was buried at Westfield, fifty- four miles west of Buffalo on the Lake Shore. Special trains brought promi- nent men from many parts of the state. Our assistant park superintendent, Captain Braik, is rusticating for a few weeks in the quiet little city of St. Cath- erine, Ont. Hope he will escape his annual dose of rheumatism. Prof. Cowell is taking a week around New York and Boston. As he is en- gaged for Chicago, he had to make his eastern trip first. Alexander Scott, of Baltimore, paid a short visit of two days to his brother, William. One of Mr. Kasting's oldest employ- ees, C. H. Kneitsch, has opened com- modious quarters on the corner of Elli- cott and Huron streets, a few doors be- low his old employer, and will do a gen- eral wholesale commission business in cut flowers.

HNTICIPATING a flower show in Buffalo this fall, wc planted early in May, one house of Chrysanthemums, consisting of the following exhibition varieties: Merza, W.R. Church, Convention Hall, Wm. Duckham, White Eaton, Yellow Eaton, Leila Filkins, Nellie Pockett, Chcltoni, Col. Appleton, S. T. Wright, Mrs. E. Thirkell, Henry Barnes, Mrs. Nathan Smith, Princess, General Hutton and many of this year's introduction. From pres- ent indications we have every reason to expect a large percentage of high grade blooms and as we have an abundance of commercial stock for our own use, we shall be pleased to cor- respond with intending exhibitors, or retailers planning a store exhibition, with the view of disposing of these blooms. ^„^ ^^^ SCOTT CO., CORFU, N. Y. Mention The Review when you write. TORONTO. The Market. During the past few weeks the weath- er has been very warm and consequent- ly roses and carnations have been rushed along, causing considerable over-stock in roses, while carnations have moved oflF fairly well; in fact, the demand for white carnations has exceeded the supply nearly all the time, and prices have been stiff. Dahlias, having recovered from the effects of the early frost, are again blooming freely. Mums are coming in good quantities, especially white. Violets are plentiful. The retail men all claim that business is ahead of former years at this time. Of course some of this may be attributed to the very large amount of funeral work done during this month. We expect that during the next two weeks business will be somewhat quiet, as we always find that after the first supply of mums the demand is not as keen for a couple of weeks, or in other words until the first supply is cleaned up. This may be attributed to the fact that chrysanthemums rather enjoy the at- mosphere of a drawing room, in fact too >vell to suit the average florist. Variota Notes. Among the growers stock is all look- ing fine and prospects are bright for a good winter. The bright weather has been of very material benefit to the late planted roses and carnations. The new firm of Hughes & Jennings, of "Weston, has made its first shipment of carnations. Although late getting the houses up, the stock is in very nice condition. E. Crowhurst, of Mimico, has been sending in very nice Bergmann, * which were about first on the market. Much comment has been made of late as to whether the retailer or the gro^rer was making the most money. That ques- tion has been settled this fall so far as Toronto florists are concerned. One of the prominent growers is now sporting an automobile, while another one has just captured a challenge cup given by the Queen City Yacht Club for his new gasoline launch. The retail men are evidently out of it, as the honors are with the grower. D. J. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS. Advertisements under this head one cent a word, CASH V^ITH ORDER.

"So that we feel it is too early as yet to arrive at any conclusion in accordance with the suggestion contained in the ar- ticle above referred to. "In relation to cucumber we can only say that every day demonstrates the fact in this portion of Nebraska that the crop has been largely overestimated. We could name a number of instances illus- trating the shortages now being realized. "Tracts containing from fifteen to forty acres each, that, according to re- ports contained in field-note books made in August, anticipating at that time an average crop of at least 100 pounds per acre, are now showing a yield of about fifty pounds per acre only, and there are quite a number of large tracts that will not pay for harvesting and which have been consequently abandoned. "We feel quite sure that the above stated conditions in' Nebraska will be confirmed by other growers. "My idea in writing you at the pres- ent time as above is to prevent erroneous reports from being circulated through the seed trade at large that would pos- sibly occasion a depressing effect on the present market values, which in reality are at least twenty -five per cent lower than they shonld be to permit the grow- ing of Cucumber seed crops &t ev^n a reasonably profitable margin." GERMAN SEED CROPS. Writing at the end of September the Erfurt correspondent of the Horticul- tural Trade Journal reports as follows: Our autumn has not kept up Its reputation, having commenced In very moist fashion, but no great harm is done as yet, and we are hoping for good average settled weather In October and November. As stated In last report, cauliflower, kale, parsley, parsnip, turnips, swedes, carrots, espe- cially the long sorts, and mangels have given, or are giving, abundant crops, while spinach and cabbage are about up to average. Lettuces have not turned out quite as well as expected a few weeks ago, but there will be no scarcity on the whole. Radishes are thrashing out rather shorter than estimated, and sugar beets will be less plentiful than was calculated a month ago, so that prices are likely to rise about twenty-five per cent over last quotations. Peas have turned out much as expected, an average crop of the round sorts, and an under- average one of the wrinkled, having been gathered. Tlie crop of dwarf French t>ean8, unless untoward weather Intervenes, will be a good one, and runner beans are also likely to be plentiful, except perhaps one or two of the later kinds.

Flower seed crops are, generally speaking, good this year. Nearly all out-door annuals, chrysanthemum, dlanthus, phlox, etc.. having done well, though mignonette ia a little dl»- appointing and nasturtiums haye yielded poorly with most growers. Sweet peas have given an excellent crop, which is already in warehouse, and large shipments are already being made to England and elsewhere. Barly-flowerlng aster?, dwarf German comet, etc., do not look as strong as could be wished, and prlc^' are likely to b« ■higher' than last year. Tte later flowering classes, such as Victoria, are, oo the other *hand, looking well to date and give hopes of a better crop at more moderate flgvires than was the case last season. Pansies are, as formerly reported, only a moderate crop, b«it enough seed will probably be saved to supply orders In full. Perennials have in general yielded quite a record crop, that of aqullegias aad hollyhocks being especially abundant. Some biennials, how- ever, such as sweet Williams, single wallflowers and canterbury bells, have doae poorly, the . weather last winter having atTected them un- favorably. Stocks, both annual and biennial, as also double wallflowers, promise to yield a- me- ' dium crop and prices will be pretty mach aa usual. Of seeds saved on the stage* end in the greenhouses, petunias, gloxinias and calceolarias are doing well, while primulas and cinerarias have given much less seed than usual, so that they will be quoted higher than last year. ^ ~!o:f'^if:^f^vsFj^^^!^^PBi^^ifrff^-^''''^ October 10, 1905.

The Market Dahlias and cosmos, cosmos and dah- lias, these flowers never were so plenti- ful nor so fine. The markets are full of them and you can buy them at your own price. But the florists are not benefited by them; in fact, they have almost killed business as far as the other flow- ers are concerned. Mums are coming in strong and are feeling the effects of the outdoor flowers, as the sale is slow and prices low. The wholesalers, both reli- gious and otherwise, are praying for a killing frost, for if the fine weather lasts a short time longer there will be a deluge of mums the like of which has never been seen. It is bad enough now and if it gets much worse the commission men will be swamped completely. Boses are feeling the effect of the summer weather and are arriving in great quantities and the man who buys in quantity makes his own price. The horse show, which was expected to help so much, was rather a disap- pointment to many, as the quantity of flowers used was not up to expectations. Various Notea. Mrs. E. A. Williams finished a very busy week, having had a large number of decorations, many of which were quite large affairs. A. W. Smith is making a grand dis- play of outdoor flowers and his windows are constantly crowded with spectators, many of whom cannot resist taking a few home for the family. Breitenstein & Flemm had a very ef- fective window, of tritoma blooms last week. Demas & Gregorius have opened a re- tail flower shop on Fifth avenue. G. E. Pieser, ef Kennicott Bros. Co., Chicago, was a visitor last week and while here visited the Pittsburg Eose & Carnation Co, J. B. Fotheringham, representing F. B. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, was in the city several days. Hoo-Hoo.

The Market October sunshine has not been con- ducive to the florists' business. ■ In a nutshell, I can say confidently that it is ^iet, much more so than was expected after such a brilliant start in Septem- ber. While many nuptial knots are be- ing tied, there are not many of the elab- orate kind, as was anticipated earlier in the season. Flowers of all kinds are plentiful and a notable improvement is in evidence all around. Beauties are used in large quantities in this market and it is surprising that some wide-awake grower has not taken advantage of this opportunity. Tea roses are ^'up against it," as is usual at this time, and will suffer more as the usual deluge of mums arrives. Carnations suffer less, as the demand is greater. Improvement in this line is quite satisfactory, both in quality and quantity. Mums are coming along fast and the early varieties are at their best. Opah, Montmort and Monrovia are the best early varieties in their respectivo colors. Pacific, Polly Eose, Halliday, Mrs. Co'ombes and Ivory will soon fol- low. Then for the glory of the mum family in the later varieties. Variota Notes. The principal event during the early part of October was the annual conven- tion of the American Civic Association, held October 4 to 6 in the Chamber of Commerce. The program was interest- ing and typical of the organization's scope and motives. The attendance was large. OflBcers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, J. Horace McFarland; treasurer, "William B. How- land, New York; secretary, Clinton Rog- ers Woodruff, Philadelphia. Adam Graham, one of the veteran florists of Cleveland, has recently been elected to the presidency of one of the largest trust companies of Cleveland. His numerous friends throughout this country will be pleased to hear of this good fortune. Forest City. MILWAUKEE. The Milwaukee flower show was origi- nally scheduled for November 6 to 10, but on account of the dates conflicting with those of Chicago, the executive committee has decided to hold the show a week later, November 14 to 18. The committee is now working on the oflScial program and premium list and there will be quite a number of special premiums for table decorations, mantel decorations, basket", bouquets, etc. A very success- ful show is in prospect.

A Qop Requiring Patience* The growing of hardy palms from aeed is one of the branches of our busi- ness that is not followed by a great portion of nurserymen, and yet to a per- «on with patience enough it is lucrative. It is at this season of the year we get our best seeds. Palm seeds can be kept for several years and still retain their vitality if kept in a dry place, although like everything else the fresh-picked seeds will germinate much quicker. Two years ago 1 planted several thou- flands of Brah^ edulis seeds that I had kept about three years and they are at this late date still slowly coming up through the sand five years after they wore picked from the tree. Ultder ordi- nary circumstances three months is about the usual time needied to get a good showing of young plants when the seed ia fresh. It usually takes about the same length of time to get Brahea fila- mentosa, Washingtonia robusta and Phoenix Canariensis and P. tenuis to show themselves; if it takes any longer it may be depended on that the seeds were not strictly fresh when planted. Ohamserops excelsa takes from four to six months and even longer and Chamse- ropa humilis the same. Corypha Aus- tralis and livistona Australis take from six to nine months and Erythea armata &nd Erythea edulis from six months to one year. These are grown, of course, without bottom heat of any kind. There Are some other varieties of palms grown here for outside ornamentation, but those I have mentioned are hardy in the lati- tude of San Francisco and are the most popular kinds. The fa<;t that it takes a few years to realize anything from the raising of palms is the reason why more dealers do not grow them, but the demand is good and steadily increasing for good speci- mens of any of the kinds I have noted. Both Chamaerops excelsa and C. humilis are of slow growth and until six years old make very little show. About this time they begin to stretch upward and if planted in a favorable situation in- crease in size fairly rapidly. They are the easiest of all the palm family to transplant and stand considerable abuse. Both Brahea filifera and Washingtonia robusta will, in the open ground, make nice specimens in about four years from seed and after that are of very rapid growth. They can be easily transplanted if the leaves are cut off at any season of the year and when so treated will make a perfect crown again in a year's time. It is impossible with these sorts to save the foliage and it should in- variably be removed. None of the ery- theas transplant as easily, and E. armata, being of extremely slow growth, must be very carefully treated. E. edulis is of somewhat faster growth and stands shifting better. Phoenix Canariensis makes a salable tree in from four to five years if planted in the open. It is easily moved, provided the weather is favorable, but should it commence to wilt, the branches should be entirely cut back to save it. P. ten- nis is of much slower growth and does not make a really showy specimen under Hahihah Hobart THE PRIDE OF CALIFORNIA.

Corypha Aus- tralis in this latitude is of slow growth and not easy to transplant. Livistona Chinensis is also of slow growth and, like the preceding, shoald be handled in tubs or boxes. It is, of course, safer to handle all varieties of hardy palms in a like man- ner and, were it not for the fact that it is possible to obtain fully twice the growth in the open ground, it would pay to do so, but as palms are slow-growing in any event, they cost too much to raise in this way. When transplanted every second year there is no danger in re- dig^ing and replanting, but when a palm of any of the kinds I have men- tioned has been growing in one place over that length of time, it is safer to prune the foliage well, as this keeps the trunk from being dried out too much in case the stems and leaves begin to shrivel. The chamserops are an exception to this rule and I have transplanted trees fifteen feet high that had been standing in one situation for over twenty years, with balls of earth only eighteen inches in diameter and twenty-four inches deep, without sacrificing any of the foliage. G. VICTORIA, a c Variotn Comment A month's rain has desolated our gar- dens. Asters are gone, also sweet peas, and other hardy stuff is very shabby. Flowers are consequently scarce, as the florists here do not expect much demand for indoor stock for some weeks yet. A. J. Woodward has a fine lot .of Princess of Wales violets outdoors. The New Westminster fair held laat week, this year obtained the Dominion grant of $50,000. I expected to see a good flower show in connection with it but anything more hopeless it has never been my lot to witness. According to the regulations pot plants were on exhi- bition ten days. They were in the dark- est and draughtiest portion of the build- ings. They were judged four days after staging, when the flowers had dropped from the plants and the foliage was thick with dust.

While I condemn th« flower show I cannot speak too highly of the display of fruit. I doubt if such a mag- nificent lot of apples was ever before seen. Holders of good stocks of fruit trees, especially apples, would do well to turn their attention to this province. The home supply is not nearly equal to the demand. The grounds around the exhibition building were well kept. Mr. Robinson, the gardener in charge, is to be compli- mented. His beds of foliage plants were gay and this is a climate where such a style is not the rule and, moreover, very difficult to manage, as we have not suf- ficient heat in the summer. A free use had been made of Geranium Mme. Sal- leroi, Iresine Lindeni and 1. Herbstii, a green alternanthera and a few other kin- dred subjects. The list available for the purpose in this climate is so small as to deter most people from attempting the task. E. A. W. SAN FHANOSCO. The Market "We have had very warm weather for the past week and flowers have kept poorly in consequence. Outdoor mums have come in with a rush and I am of the opinion that they are not quite as good as those we had a year ago. The growers have kept the prices up thus far, but they will certainly get cheaper in a few days. Indoor mums are selling at from $1 to $2.50 per dozen, with good demand. Eoses are still more plentiful than they have been, but the demand, espe- cially for the best stock, is good. Car- nations are also being brought into town in goodly quantities and are being used up clean. Valley is in good supply, also Lilium longiflorum. Smilax is more plentiful, but the majority of it is soft. Cosmos helps to fill up the windows and is about the last of the outdoor stock for this season, as the dahlias and other cheap flowers are nearly over for this year. Although there is nothing rushing in the way of business there is a good, steady demand for all kinds of the best quality of stock. Various Notes. C. G. Keene has opened a floral estab- lishment at the entrance to Mountain View cemetery, Oakland. A visit to the nurseries of E. F. Wag- ner, at Elmhurst, shows a big stock of well grown ferns on hand. Mr. Wagner makes a specialty of the various kinds of nephrolepis and has some magnificent specimens, in addition to thousands of smaller plants. F. Ludemann is expected home from his extended European trip in a few days. D. Greuttner, of Vallejo, was in town this week. Domoto Bros, are receiving large con- signments of Japanese stock. They are the largest importers on this coast in that line. The commission appointed by the state to select a plant and seed experi- mental station in southern California left for that part this week. F. C. Jaeger, the Sutter street florist, reports a good business during the month of September. His show of flowers is one of the sights of his neighborhood. Chas. Kruse, of Piedmont, has finished replanting his houses and has everything in ship-shape for a good season's rose cutting. Chas. Gardiner will leave this week on a month's trip to Mexico. G.

The Encyclo- pedia Brltannlca says, "the varieties grown In Jardens are mostly derived from the Pontic pecles (K. ponticnm) and the Virginian B. Catawblense. These are mostly hardy in Eng- laad. The commoa Pontic variety Is excellent (or game covert from its hardiness," etc. The genus kalmia is said to comprise "six •pecles of ornamental hardy evergreen shrubs," of which Kalmia latifoUa is the best-lcnown and most grown species. (Nicholson's Dictionary of Gardening.) This species is widely known In the United States as the American laurel. The appraiser does not deny that the plants referred to are evergreens in this broad sense, but states that the Aucuba Japonica Is culti- Tated In this country almost exclusively as a decorative shrub and grown under glass, and that if exposed to the winters of this climate it would perish. He admits that the Rhododen- dron pontlcum Is hardy in our usual winters, but maintains that neither that plant nor the Kalmia latifoUa is hardy in all sections of the United States. In our judgment, however, In- quiiT as to whether a plant is hardy or not in a particular locality or under given climatic conditions Is not the proper test to determine Its tariff classification as an evergreen. It Is aufflclent If it fall within the general class of evergreen plants. The protests are sustained with respect to ▲ncuba Japonica, Kalmia latifolia, and Ithodo- dendron pontlcum, and overruled as to all other ■lerchandlse. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

The Nassau County Horticultural So- ciety held its monthly meeting at the Glen Cove Greenhouses October 4. President Harrison occupied the chair. The at- tendance was large and all seemed most enthusiastic for the welfare of this young society. Two new members were elected, Wm. Maher, of East Island, Glen Cove, and Mr. Jamkie, of Floral Park, and two others were nominated. The exhibition table was loaded, near- ly every member present contributing something toward the fine display. Dah- lias were most prominent. The monthly prizes were for twelve carnations ar- ranged for effect and for collection of dahlias. Both classes were well repre- sented. The dahUa prize was won by Felix Mense, with a beautiful assortment of twenty-six varieties, while the one for carnations was carried off by Mr. Tre- pass, Glen Cove. Two more handsome cups have been given the society for prizes at the coming flower show, also money prizes by the Stumpp & Walter, Thorburn, Vaughan, Boddington and Bonora companies. The show will be held November 1 and 2. J. F. J. Columbus, 0. — The Columbus Florists ' Club will hold a chrysanthemum show in the city hall, November 10 and 11.

A number of members of the floral committee of the Koyal Horticultural Society of Great Britain recently in- spected the dahlia trials at Wisley and made the selection given below from the cactus varieties. The flowers were not judged from the exhibition standpoint, but simply as making the finest display as garden plants; and as many buyers look at dahlias from this point only, the list may be useful to include in catalogues: Arab, Aunt Chloe, A. Dunbar, Dainty, Ploradora, J. H. Jackson, Mavis, Mary Service, Mrs. Jno. Goddard, Mrs. Mc- Kergow, Orion, Reliable, Waterloo. THOUSAND-LEGS. I have had the same trouble with millepeds lis has J. H. C. and was told in this paper that tobacco stems would kill them. Not having stems I used tobacco powder, dusting it over every- thing iu the bouse, plants, benches, walks, etc. In the morning I would find them dead by the thousands. Lime did not hurt them at all, but they will run when the tobacco touches them, and if they get a good dose they will die inside of fifteen minutes. They have been very destructive to sweet peas, small ferns, schizanthus, etc., eating the latter around the base near the root until the plant drops over. C. F. D.

N. J. LONG ISLAND CITY. N. Y. TOLEDO. Various Comment. During a recent visit to W. Hon- berger'8 place in West Toledo the pro- prietor was not at home, but the car- nation houses were looking good. At G. A. Heinl's everything looked fine, especially some houses of early planted carnations that show long stems and fine flowers for this time of the year. All the rose houses promise a good crop. Plants are healthy and breaking nicely. Mums are beginning to come in, but the best thing on the place is a long bench of poinsettias, which certainly are as nice a lot as one would wish to see for this time of the year! John F. Gratopp is feeling a little blue about five benches of his carnations that he planted about ten days after a good soaking rain. The plants had started to make a lot of new feeding roots and were soft as they could Jje and did not transplant well nor take hold of the soil as they should. All the old houses that were planted before the rain are in fine shape. Mr. Gratopp put in a steam pump this summer for a double purpose. First to pump his manure water, then to force the hot water through his heating pipes during the fall and spring months, when the weather is warm enough for hot water heating. At C. Kaminski's, on LaGrange street, we found a fine lot of carnations and a bench of cyclamens in 5-inch and 6-inch pots that are hard to beat. Mr. Kaminski makes a very good showing for the first season that he is in busi- ness. He was busy with funeral work, which shows that business is coming his way. Wohler Bros, are bringing in some very nice mums. E. Kuhnke is in his glory since he buili a narrow gauge railroad up to the boiler shed. He can haul thirty tons of coal in half a day with one horse and two men, while a team and two men had to work a day on the same job before. E. A. K. Don*t Fail To write to the Advance Co.

But we are at a decided disadvantage — you often let us do all the talking ! It isn't fair to think that in one brief talk all the good there is in our greenhouses can even be enumerated, let alone expanded on. So we have printed up a lot of vital things about greenhouses, added illustrations freely and collected these loose leaves in a sort of portfolio binder which we want you to have. Now one way for you to save money on the new house you will want early next spring, is to take the matter up seriously NOW. When you give us time and the opportunity' to work at it during the winter, it doesn't cost "us as much and it will affect you the same waj'. . , . • (When you talk ])ack, don't forget to send for Binder L-G.)

The Weekly Florists^ Review* J 267 MONROVIA AND MERSTHAM. 1 have been requested to give a few facts, or hints, on Monrovia chrysanthe- mum, with which variety I have had unusual success in the last three or four years. I do not consider myself an au- thority on mums, or the cultivation of them, but I have had good success, es- pecially with a few varieties and, as Mr. Totty says, these are the ones for me to grow. I made my fit^t success and what reputation I may have as a mum grower on the good old variety. Major Bonnaffon, but now that variety will not get out of its own way for me, even after changing the stock and giving ex- tra care, and I guess it will have to be dropped. Since then Monrovia has been the best paying variety for me to grow, but to get good results you have to propagate early, plant early and take early buds. To give any certain dates is impossible, as it all depends on the condition of the plants and length of the growth when the first buds appear, but I know that I have at times taken the bud a month earlier than Mr. Totty advises for Mers- tham Yellow, August 10, and secured good flowers. A variety you cannot take a safe bud before that date will never be a strong competitor to Monrovia. On Mcrstham Yellow I took some buds before and Eome after August 10 and even on some of those taken after that date did they turn green and it was the second crown, too, and that is as a rule considered safe on early varieties. Those that did develop about half, or a little less than that, are only small flowers and, as my commission man in Chicago says, they are too soft and flabby to sell well or to cut any figure in the market there. Monrovia and Merstham Yellow were planted the same day and in the same benches and they had the same distance between them and received the same treatment right through and the redult was that of the Monrovia I cut ninety- •'ight per cent good flowers and received $4 a dozen for more than half of them (510) and of the balance three-fourths fetched $3; less than 100 out of pretty near 1,000 blooms fetched less than that. I began to cut Monrovia September 20 and finished about October 12 and • leaned the benches for another crop. At that time only the piece where the Merstham Yellow was planted had to be left, as they were not all ready to cut. Mr. Totty is right in saying that local- ity, climate and treatment have a whole lot to do with it, but there are many growers out here and around Chicago, too, who do not like Monrovia because they cannot do much with it and have discarded it. I would advise them to try Merstham Yellow, or any other early variety. But for myself I do not think I shall give it much bench room another season and if I do I shall plant it with the second earlies. Another good example of locality, as ^r. Totty mentions, is Wm. Ducldiam. ;r^-.A' I -was one of those who went in for this variety extensively and I am giving it a second trial this year, but it is no good here. I shall entirely discard it. Dr. Enguehard is far superior and is the best pink I have on the place. I know that Wm. Duckham is grown in great shape in the east, but I cannot do it. I have always read Mr. Totty 's notes with great interest. Every year I try many of the varieties he has recom- mended, but last year's are a great disappointment to me. I have other varieties which are no good here, all coming with eyes and no good in gen- eral, Emily Milebam and J. Miller. Maybe Mr. Totty has them in fine shape. Of last year's novelties Clementine Touset, Dr. Galloway and Mrs. Wm. Duckham are the best here so far and Jeannie Nonin looks very promising but is rather late. I also notice Mr. Totty 's notes about the poor market in the east for early mums this year. My experience is quite dififerent. I have never had better prices nor had as many inquiries for early mums as this year and my benches of early mums have paid me better than anything I have ever grown. GUNNAR TeiI/MANN. • SOME NOVELTIES. The usual list of novelties are on hand for the fall shows and the pessimist who says that there has been no progress in the chrysanthemum of late years is likely to be disillusioned. The finest thing I have seen so far is Beatrice May. As set up before the New York committee last week it was grand and captivated every- one. It is hard to imagine a finer white than this for either commercial culture or exhibition. The habit is dwarf, foli- age up to the flower and stem excellent. Later or terminal buds show pink shad- ing but still the full center and splendid size. Another white almost finished is Mrs. F. F. Thompson. This is a noble looking, massive flower with broad petals that twist and curl in a most enchanting manner. This is evidently purely an ex- hibition flower as it is rather "necky" but in size it will scale up with the best and iu a collection it will be a most nota- ble flower. May Seddon, which it is claimed has been grown 11x11 inches in Australia, does not live up to its reputation for size so far but it is a beautiful pure white and next year with early propagated stock I have no doubt will make a very different showing. It is so dwarf and slow growing that it evidently needs a long season of growth. The yellows show several notable things, chief among which are Mrs. Geo. Beech, Mme. S. Rivol, Mrs. Wm. Knox and Old Gold. The first named, I think, will make its mark as a commercial yel- low, but it is quite late and needs some time yet in which to develop. It is a yellow sport from Mrs. Swinburne and those who are growing this latter va- riety will be able to make their own comparisons as to size, form, etc. Rivol is also a sport, coming from Paola Radaelli. The inside of the petal is deep ochre, giving the flower the ap- pearance of deepest orange yellow. Those who have grown the parent know that it is a particularly strong grower and of this the Bport also partakes. Mrs. Wm. Knox, heralded as the finest yellow in Australia, will not take the title away from Appleton here, unless another year, with the opportunity for a longer season of growth, puts more sub- stance into the flower and more stiffen- ing into the stem. Just misses being a splendid thing, but well worth a trial, is the way I figure it out so far. Old Gold is a beautiful grower, one of the best I ever saw, and as a 6-inch pot plant will meet with a warm welcome. Tbc flower is only medium in size but it is a beautiful color, "of the shade the name implies, and the flower sets right down on the luxuriant foliage; truly the American ideal in foliage and stem. Mrs. G. Heaume, commercially speak- ing, is perhaps off-color, being a salmony bronze, but its habits as to foliage, stem, size, finish, etc., leave noth- ing to be desired and in the exhibition classes it will be very prominent. Viola, as a Japanese pink, and Mrs. J. Marshall, as an incurving pink, are both well worthy of a place. A few days later will see them fully develdped and they both seem very good. Mrs. John E. Dunne is one of the most striking of the new ones and one of the very best also. Stem, foliage, size, and finish are all there in perfection and the rcflexing petal shows the color to the best advantage. The color is a deep old rose and must be seen to be appreciated. I think Dunne will stay for years as a striking and distinct variety. In Mrs. Henry Partridge we have a variety that will, I think, supplant Church, grand though the latter is. It gives t)»o Church color when Church is seen at its best; that is, when the florets reflex, and has the advantage of being a kind, free, easy grower. Unlike most other reds, it shows no tendency to burn and I have flowers developing now in the open sunlight without a trace of burning, something very unusual in a red variety. Mjersthjim Crimson in color is simply superb. On early crowns the flower is reflexed, with a golden tip on the up- turned end of the petal; a beautiful combination, but the neck is too long. The late bud makes a very good stem, with the foliage right up to the flower, though the golden tip of the petal is missing and the flower is a solid, deep crimson. R. E. Richardson is a very strong grower, with cabbage-like leaves, and is now building up an immense flower of blush white. Strong as an oak tree in growth, Richardson will appeal directly to those growers who want something that will grow and give good satisfac- tion. Mary Ann Pockett, on the other hand, is an indifferent grower and in midsum- mer made very little headway, though the flower that is finishing is a great sur- prise in the way it is building up. The color is quite unique, being Indian red, with an old gold reverse, and it is mostly reverse that shows. E. J. Brooks is very strong in growth, with a splendid stem and foliage. The color is rosy purple and the flower, when iJ268 The Weekly Florists^ Review* OCTOBEH 26, 1905. finished, is a perfect ball. It does not require much feeding, for it is a great grower and as a pot plant will be well liked. Everything cornea good, either the early or late bud, and Brooks can be set down as one of the well liked kinds, the "easy doers." Next week sees the big shows under way and some of these varieties will doubtless be seen and admired by many who read these notes. Chaeles H.' Totty. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY.

Shading material should be arranged and everything put in order, so that no time may be lost when propagating should be done. Ribes. SEASONABLE REMINDERS. A neatly kept house of roses is a pleas- ure to the eye and at this season, after the benches have been put into condi- tion for the winter, staking and tying done, we can afford the time to clean up and make and keep the houses neat and clean. The walks should be kept scrupulously clear of weeds, as it is there that our in- sect enemies find a refuge from tobacco fumes and from the force of the syringe. The plants should be kept neatly tied up and disbudding should be practiced at least once a week. This, whUe adding neatness to the house, is also adding to the revenue, for if these young stems are neglected and allowed to trail on the bench they become weak and produce nothing but blind wood. While, if dis- budding is neglected until the side stems are so large that they have to be re- moved with a knife, the size of the bud is reduced and the symmetry and grace- fulness of the stem are spoiled. The care and supervision of the night duties will now give the grower more or loss worry until he gets his winter staff into full training again. This is a duty Avhich year after year gives us a good deal of trouble and we have to exercise a great deal of patience and watchful- ness until we are satisfied that each and every one of the night staff understands his duties and is trustworthy, as any laxity along these lines will nullify the efforts of the most careful grower. By selecting intelligent, temperate men to fill these places, and paying them well for the long, cheerless hours they have to be on guard, we can remove a good part of the burden from the shoulders of the man in charge during the day, with profit to the place and pleasure to all concerned. As the propagating season is approach- ing everything should be made ready for that important and interesting period. The benches should be overhauled and put into proper condition, piping in- spected and repaired where necessary and a thorough cleaning given to the house to get rid of all insect pests and special pains should be taken to get rid of any appearance of bench fungus. A good supply of a propagating me- dium, such us sand or any other mate- FORCING RAMBLERS. Can Crimson Rambler and Dorothy Perkins roses which have been growing outdoors be taken up this fall and forced for Easter, or should they have been grown in pots the past season? W. A. S. While it is the safest and most suc- cessful method to grow these ramblers in pots during the summer previous to forcing, as by this treatment they make more suitable wood for forcing and >us\ially ripen it more perfectly, still they can be grown with good results when lifted from the field and treated in the following manner: Select strong plants as soon as they are ripe, a condition which is indicated by the shedding of the leaves. Lift them carefully, so that the roots do not get broken or torn. Pot immediately, before the roots have time to get dry, in good rose soil. Select pots of a suitable size, not too large, give plenty of drainage and pot firmly. They should then be stored in a pit or burie<] in the soil beyond the danger of frost. By the middle of December they should be brought in and placed in a house with a temperature not to ex- ceed 45 degrees and shaded during very bright weather. As the buds begin to swell the tem- perature should be increased by 5 de- grees per week until it reaches 62 de- grees nights and 75 degrees daytime dur- ing bright weather. Syringing must be practiced every bright day, as the high temperature is very conducive to the in- crease of red spider and these plants seem to bo its favorite haunt if left un- disturbed. The greatest care must be exercised in ventilating, so that the wood and foliage does not become too soft, as it is very apt to do, owing to the rgipidity of growth. Ribes. CARNATION NOTES.-EAST. Watering. The subject of watering is one upon which volumes might be written and jet not be fully covered, as among a large number of growers many different con- ditions are daily arising that cannot pos- sibly be met by any arbitrary written directions. You have probably seen plants grown by a lady customer in her dwelling that would be a credit to the profession, and under conditions considered radically wrong; for instance, a palm potted directly into a glazed jardiniere, with absolutely no drainage and growing luxuriantly. Now this to my mind is the result of a certain intuition possessed by the fair sex and which is similar to Patience Is a virtue; have It \t yon can; Seldom ill a woman, never in a wan. Pardon the digression, but I wished to emphasize the point that to be success- ful a grower must be half plant himself to anticipate the wants of his charges. The first principles of watering are to apply when needed in such quantity as to thoroughly moisten the soil and no more, also at such time of day, or in such manner, as will allow the foliage to dry before night. These would be very simple rules to follow if changes in weather, variation in soils, needs of the different varieties, aspect of houses and arrangement of benches did not have to be taken into consideration.

J269 apt to have some quite warm days, with considerable wind, causing rapid trans- piration. In this case close attention must be given to spraying, that the plants may not suffer through wilting. Dark, stormy times occur during which the foliage takes on a soft growth. If possible it is best to wait until pleasant weather before watering, but if close observation shows plants to be suffer- ing, apply sparingly between the rows, without wetting the foliage. The best time to water is in the early forenoon of a bright day, at which time any necessary spraying to counteract wilting or syringing to destroy spider should be done. Sometimes every indi- cation points to a fair day, when, by eleven o'clock, the sun is obscured and plants have been wet by spraying. This is a bad position in which to be caught, but the best must be made of it. Every means must be employed to dry out the surplus moisture as soon as possible. Under no circumstances close the venti- lators and raise the temperature. There musTbe a circulation of air and this is best accomplished by having on a crack at the ridge. A generous dose of grape dust will materially reduce the development of fungoid germs. Knowing the nature of your soil, construction of bench, also whether raised or solid, you can deter- mine the natural capacity of a bed to retain moisture, but let there be no guesswork. Examine the soil each day. Never apply water in such quantity as to cause a rain storm under the bench. This is not only carelessness, but a means of carrying out valuable fertilizing ele- ments in solution. Frequently the plants along the side of the bench are in need of water about three o'clock on the afternoon of a bright day. A slow stream from the hose held close to the soil will remedy this, but be careful not to overdo the matter. It is about time to get in a batch of cuttings for bloom next summer. Look over your list and select varieties that by nature are inclined to make trim, bushy plants. Geo. S. Osborn. LEAF-SPOT. I am sending you some leaves from my Enchantress carnations. You will see that the foliage seems to turn dry at the tip of the leaves; the plants look healthy in every other way. The plants were grown in the field until about the first week in September, when they were carefully housed in good soil. Please tell me what you think the matter is, and the treatment. E. A. M. The leaves you sent were spotted with what closely resembled fairy-ring, though I could not be certain, as the leaves were pretty well dried up. I feel quite safe in saying that you may treat your plants the same as you would for that disease, as all those leaf-spot diseases require much the same treatment. Pick off all the spotted leaves and burn them to prevent the spreading of the disease. If you heat with steam pajnt one of the pipes with a mixture of lime and sulphur in equal portions, mixed with water to make a thick paint. If your plants are bloom- ing, don't have tiiis too strong, as it \vill take the color out of the flowers. Better leave a crack of air on. Strew around the house and under the benches some air-slaked lime. You can also dust the plants with air-slaked lime and sul- The Chamaedorea Species Exhibited at Washins^too. phulr mixed in equal proportions. Take a Peerless sulphur blower or a pair of bel- lows and Wow the house full of this. Stop syringing unless there is red spider on the plants. One of the best remedies we have ever found is Formaline, of which we use one part to 500 of water. Spray this on the plants in the morning of a bright day. But you must choose a day that promises to be bright, so the plants will dry off well before night. These leaf-spots are more active in a damp atmosphere than in a dry one and so you want to keep the plants dry, espe- cially at night. A. F. J. Baur. GOV.WOLCOTT? I am sending a bloom of a white car- nation which^ has appeared among my Enchantress. It has a very hardy, vigor- ous growth and all the traits of En- chantress. Do you think it is a sport? The plant has been grown in a night temperature of from 56 to 58 degrees and the stems are probably weak on that account. L. A. L. THE CHAMAEDOREA. In the display made by the U. S. De- partment of A^griculture at the Wash- ington convention of the S. A. F. were a number of plants of chamaedorea like the one shown in the accompanying illus- tration. Prof. Galloway and his assis- tants in the Bureau of Plant Industry think that in this they have a plant with commercial possibilities and the specimens shown were examined with much interest by the many palm growers who saw them. The exhibit as a whole received the society's certificate of merit. George W. Oliver says that this palm was discovered in Guatemala by Prof. 0. Cook, who found it growing at an ele- vation of 3,000 feet. Prof. Cook thinks it a new species but closely allied to Chamaedorea graminsefolia. It requires the same treatment and temperature as Kentia Forsteriana and K. Belmoreana. As a house plant it is said to be very good. The bloom you sent revived enough, when placed in water, so I could say al- most positively that it is Gov. "Wolcott. When you get another bloom you will no- tice that it has less petals than Enchan- tress and it also has more deeply ser- rated petals than Enchantress. Also the calyx is more slender and the stem and foliage more wiry. If you will grow these in a temperature of 52 degrees you will get better stems and better result? in general. No carnation will grow in a temperature of 56 to 58 degrees and remain healthy very long. A. F. J. Baur. The palm in question attracted some attention from those visiting the Masonic Hall, in which the exhibit of palms from the department was displayed at the S. A. F. convention, and, while the chamsB- doreas generally are not looked upon as commercial palms, yet this species (pos- sibly C. glaucifolia) looks more promis- ing than some already in cultivation. This palm has narrow leaflets of very dark green, and the habit of the plant is compact and well furnished. All the members of this genus are shade-loving species, and are of comparatively dwarf habit, most of them being found as un- dergrowth in the tropical forests of ]Mexico, Central America and South America. \v, H.

Both garden and wild flowers afford a tempting variety in autumn. Natural arrangements in these outside flowers and foliage may serve two purposes with the decorator. They are beautiful in them- selves and valuable for what they are. They also suggest like arrangements for use later in the year, when nothing but greenhouse stock is to be had. The first of our studies today is de- cidedly rustic, but one which may be easily adapted to other material and seasons. Wild asters and golden-rod in a bulb basket, which has been gilded, tells the whole story. The lavender blue, with the decided yellow of the golden- rod softened by the gilding of the basket, is a rather unusual, but none the less desirable coloring. Because blue is so rare is one reason why it should be used, wherever it presents itself, in field, pasture or garden. Upon close examination it will be ob- served that these two kinds of flowers are not mixed at random. A mass of the aster flowers occupies the left side, while the golden-rod sprays out over the right edge, after its own fashion. Neither are the two kinds of flowers separated stolidly. Small sprays of one mass approach the other, delicately at first and then more decidedly, till the two groups are connected. Threads of color are knit back and forth till the two wholes are united. This arrangement is especially suitable for some of the numerous country club affairs still going on. Once in a while a florist has a call for just such a wild piece of decoration. Half between the cultivated and the wild, or rather a touch of each, is seen in the lower study, which is a white china bowl containing scabiosa in various tints and shades of purple and pink, with its own foliage and seed pods, supple- mented by a branch of half ripe hops, with a tinge of red appearing on the green. One practice to which we do not edu- cate ourselves and the public is that of using with the flowers for the best pos- sible effect, all the forms which the plant produces at one stage or another of its growth. Seed pods, buds and new foli- age really belong to the complete color scheme which envelops the plant life. Like the color plan of a single flower, there is in the plant as an individual, a definite color plan which can be enjoyed only as it is traced throughout the un- folding of every part of the plant. The red-green of the rose foliage is often cut off a rose when its artistic value would be much increased by retaining the at- tractive bit of new growth. Gertrude Blair. RocKFORD, III.— H. W. Buckbee is making arrangements to send a full car-load of chrysanthemum plants and cut flowers to the Chicago show. AN OPPORTUNITY. The public interest in floriculture was never so great as at present, and, as newspapers in general are giving their readers what they want, the ed- itors are only too glad to publish sen- sible matter on plants and flowers, every word of which is a direct help to our trade. Every rightly managed flower show is getting the hearty sup- port of the newspapers of its city, and the success of this year's shows prom- ises to be far bej'ond all previous rec- ords. An example of the advertising which is beyond price, and for which the trade is due to "make good" at the show, is the following editorial from the Chicago Tribune of October 19: The Chicago public has taken too little notire o( the effort of the Chicago Horticultural Soci- ety to Instill a love of flowers in the hearts of the city's people. With Its yearly exhibitions the society tries earnestly to impress the public with the fact that Chicago Is the largest flower market in the world, and, in proportion to its size, the smallest consumer of flowers. Many have been brought to know and appreciate flow- ers through these exhibitions. Hitherto, how- ever, lack of adequate space has hampered the society in its efforts to do justice to Chicago's pre-eminence in the floral world. This year the exhibition will be held in the Coliseum. That means there will be no lack of space. There will be one and a half acres of flowers, and the Chicagoan who falls to visit the Coliseum next month will deprive himself of a rare treat, be- sides falling to lend bis encouragement to a worthy enterprise. One new and interesting feature of this year's exhibition will be the practical demonstrations and instruction in flower culture for the city family. Object lessons in the shape of model back yards, lawns, and window boxes will be supplemented by Instruction from expert garden- ers, who will give the amateur accurate In- formation on any subject within the scope of flower growing. The persons who sigh for the sight of a flower in the city need sigh no more if they will but follow the experts' instruc- tions. No one, not even the occupant of a city flat, is 80 poor as to be without a window ledge. It is to be hoped that many Chlcagoana will adopt for practical use the suggestions offered at the exhibition. Also it is to be hoped that Chicago will wake up and be a better patron of Its flower industry. Chicago has sore need of beauty. None of the things that men may make to beautify the city can be compared with the flowers that are grown here, and which are shipped away. The "city beautiful" Is, of course, a pleasant dream for the present, but a spread of flower love will mean that the dream is one step nearer its realization. Chicago should use more of its flowers. MR. PETTIGREW IN EUROPE. [The conclusion of a lecture on "Park and Garden Work In Europe," delivered before the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Boston, Octo- ber 17, by J. A. Pettlgrew, the major portion of which appeared in last week's lievlew.] George Nicholson wrote me, at Queens- town, to delay making any plans until my arrival in London, when he would be glad to assist in mapping out a route, and, what was better, offered to accom- pany me. This was beyond my expecta- tion, and I gladly changed the plans I had made and posted to London. He ap- peared bright and early at my hotel, the morning after my arrival. You will be glad to hear that Mr. Nicholson is look- ing remarkably well, and I can vouch for his physical endurance, remembering how he tested mine. What more could I de- sire than Mr. Nicholson's congenial com- panionship? Who could know the places, the men and the things I wanted to see better than he?

The Weekly Florists' Review^ M7\ liam Bobinson, to whom I had a letter of introduction from Professor Sargent. He kindly invited me to visit him at'' Gravetye Manor, located in Surrey, about thirty miles from London. Gravetye is an old Saxon word meaning a house in the hollow. The name, however, does not designate correctly the position of Grav- etye Manor, which is placed on a gently sloping hillside overlooking the course of a stream, which has been dammed lower down, thus forming a very pretty sheet of water in the valley, to which the long reach of lawn slopes in pleasing undulations. Wooded hills rise on the opposite side of the water, while to the left a pretty view of valley is obtained. Behind the house the ground rises ana is covered with plantations of pine. Mr. Robinson would have done much for gardening had he written nothing more than The English Garden and Wild Gardening. He has, however, done much more, and, what is better, has put into practice at Gravetye the principles he has so earnestly taught in his writings. In the construction of a terrace garden old weathered fla.gs were obtained with which to pave the walks. The beds are ar- ranged in an old-fashioned style and planted with old-fashioned flowers. Eoses predominate, of which Mr. Robinson has a large collection. A pretty feature of the garden is Tropaeoleum speciosum, blooming freely in gorgeous clusters, as are also wall plants, which are encour- aged to colonize. Beyond the terrace gar- den is a cozy ramble, the borders of which abound in good shrubs, herbaceous plants and bulbs. Beyond is situated the walled vegetable and fruit garden. The sheet of water in the valley is bord- ered by a walk, along which the planting of shrubs and herbaceous plants has been done in a manner to give a very natural effect. The same may be said of the shore line* at which have been planted water lilies and other aquatic and semi- aquatic plants. The atmosphere of the entire place is restful, quaint and beau- tiful, on natural lines. The absence of variegated and other abnormal forms of vegetation was conspicuous, as might be expected. The estate comprises about 400 acres, some of which is old woodland. A large area has been planted by Mr. Rob- inson with pines (Pinus sylvestris and Piuus Laricio) which show excellent growth, some of them being twenty or more feet in height. Our white pine (Pinus strobus) proved a failure, which Mr. Robinson regretted very much. Many grew well at first, then suddenly died off. At the close of a very enjoyable day my host drove with me to the station. On the way h© pointed out a railroad bank, on which he had scattered the seed of Spanish broom a few years ago, now a sheet of yellow bloom as a reward for the forethought and public spirit of the planter. The love of flowers is innate in the heart of an Englishman. The same may be said, only in a lesser degree, of the Irishman, the Scotchman and the French- man. There are few who have not a garden, or at least a window-box, along the roadside, or in country towns and villages where the houses are often built on the line of the road, a narrow strip of space will be stolen from the side- walk and planted with climbers to cover the cottage walls. This love for flowers by all classes contributes in a great de- gree to the charm and beauty of Eng- lish homes. In most parts of England Wild Asters and Golden-rod in a Gilded Bulb Basket trees are encouraged to grow in the meadows and hedge rows. Even farmers will call your attention to their trees, to their fine size or appearance, and to how much they add to the beauty of the landscape. When such a spirit as this is abroad in a land, what wonder that it calls for the admiration of travelers! I saw a goodly number of fine trees. At Lannercost Priory, Cumberland, are the finest sycamore trees I ever beheld, many measuring four to five feet in diameter. This tree behaves badly in the States and gives no intimation of its qualities. The long walk at Windsor Castle is shaded by handsome English elms. At Ravensworth Castle, Durham, are good beeches; one I measured has a spread of ninety-five feet. At Naworth Castle, Cumberland, are grand oaks, which must have been old when belted Will Howard was warden of the marches. At Brinkbum Priory in Northumber- land a lot of silvery-leaved firs, three to three and one-half feet in diameter, rear their heads to a height- of ninety or 100 feet. A plant of Clematis montana on the priory walls measures fifty-four inches around the stem. It might have been planted by the Cistercian monks who founded the monastery. In Anthony Waterer's nursery I saw a magnificent specimen of the weeping beech, at least sixty feet in diameter of spread of branches. I ought not to stop at this single reference when so many good things are to be found there. The forest of Fontainebleau, thirty miles from Paris, has an area of 42,000 acres, in which fine oaks and beeches abound. Of course, everybody knows of the Burnham beeches. There are still many well-shaped specimens to be found back in the woods that will well repay the trouble of hunting them up. The old pollarded and decaying trunks are mag- nificent even in their ruins, and recall a long distant past. I will close with a reference to the white willows of Warwickshire, called Salix regalis in the catalogues, but which Professor Sargent says is the typical Salix alba. How beautifully their silver foliage lightens and softens the land- scape! When once seen they are not apt to be forgotten. THE CHICAGO POST-OFHCE, The C'liicago post-office will move into its new building on Saturday of this week. It is almost eleven years since the old building was vacated and con- siderably more than that since the original plans were drawn for the new structure, whicfe is without doubt the handsomest post-oflBce in the United States. But conditions change in a dozen years and it was more than a year ago recognized that the new building, especially in certain features, had been outgrown long before it was ready for occupancy. In no respect were the facilities more inadequate than for handling second class (news- paper) mail. Certain expensive changes were made but the arrange- ments are still incomplete, for the post- master has announced that while, be- ginning next Monday, all other mail will be handled through the new build- ingt a part of the outgoing newspaper mail will continue to be handled through the eleven-year-old "tempo- rary" building on the lake front. What effect this will have on out- going papers remains to be seen. We hope it will not have any effect.

PHILADELPHIA. The Market The frost of last week has ended the dahlias and some of the other tender flowers. Cosmos is still in its glory, great quantities of every shade being seen in the stores and on the streets. Despite the absence of dahlias, the mar- ket conditions have not improved. The demand is only fair and the supply far exceeds it. There are too many medium and poor grades of chrysanthemums, but hardly enough of the choicer sorts. The Leo Niessen Co. has a novelty in the shape of Easter lilies of excellent qual- ity. They expect to have them steadily throughout the winter. The Plender Co. John C. Graeey has completed his im- provements in the Plender Co. 's nur- series at 1230 N. Twenty-sixth street. Two buildings and an alleyway have been thrown into one large store about 40x50 feet, with a greenhouse about 30 xl25 feet in the rear. A covered way admits wagons to the rear of this house. The store contains a rockery, with foun- tain and pool and a number of aquar- iums, a specialty with the proprietor. A vJJ .Ulkf^ ■ «WI!piiV»l4WiiiilllH*'J'WW''V*JU-l!'' OCTOBEB 26, 1906.

In reviewing the affair Charles H. Jones, president t)£AtIte National Federation of Adver- tising "Clubs, said: ' But the show accomplished much more than bringing the crowds to see the exhibits. Above «U, It accomplished this: It advertised adver- tlaing with unprecedented force. It did much for tlie advertising profession. At the same ^tUae It popularized and elevated advertising. .It showed what advertising really was doing «nd what it was accomplishing in the business World. Just that does every successful flower show do for the florists in the community in which it is held. THE ST. LOUIS SHOW. Profiting by the experience and the prestige of the World's Fair flower show, the St. Louis Florists' Club has shuf- fled the cards to deal out the biggest local exhibition the town has ever had. The committee has been at work for months and every detail has been at- tended to in good season. The program was out last week and in sending a copy to a friend Manager Otto G. Koenig wrote: "The hall, with its accessories, will be a thing of beauty, and I know will be long remembered by all who will come and visit us. Our visitors will be courteously received, the exhibitors will get full justice and the winners cash for every premium they take. ' ' Indeed, a elance at the program would lead to the belief that the boys have "rustled up" enough advertising to insure the- dis- icharge of all liabilities, without recourse to the pleasant published list of guaran- tors and donors of premiums. As with »o many other shows, the St. Louis man- agers are this year offering more liberal premiums than ever before. Best 100 mums get $100, $75 and $50; fifty Beau- ties, $50 and $35; 100 Beauties, $100, $75, $50; table decoration, $75, $50, ♦35; group of palms, $75, $50, $25, and many others equally liberal. Besides, there are Shaw and S. A. F. medals for new plants. St. Louis certainly ought to do well this year. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS. Advertisements under this head one cent a word, CASH WITH ORDER.

Bepoets indicate that peas are still an uncertain quantity. New York. — Henry Nungesser & Co. had 100 bags of grass seeds on the Hud- son from Havre October 21. It is expected that this year's cata- logues will have onion seed listed at double the prices of last year. The picking of bouquet green in Wis- consin woods began last week. Each year it is necessary to go farther afield for supplies. S. B. Barnes, Malvern, la., is going into the farm and garden seed busi- ness, paying particular attention to seed corn. Visited Chicago: P. H. Gage, of S. M. Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich.; Morris L. Smith, of the Madson Seed Co., Manitowoc, Wis. Wax beans have been reported short and, what's more, they are short. Every delivery from the farmers makes the shortage more apparent. Onion sets in the vicinity of Chicago are going into winter quarters in good shape. A dry rot in the whites may cause trouble and seems to be the only thing that worries, as prospects for the future are for high prices. - '* '' .' The Globe varieties of onions, which are the sorts in gre&test demand by all up-to-date onion growers, are reported ■''ery short. The flat varieties of all colors are not as -plentiful as they should be either, although there is likely to be about enough of them to go around. Bean samples so far received bear out the prediction made in the Review some time ago that the coloring of this year's crop would be excellent as a rule. Some large dealings in Eocky Ford melon seed are reported this week at low figures, viewed in the light of recent reports from the growing stations. The demand for cabbage seed and onion seed is likely to. be heavy the com- ing spring, as all the principal markets of the country show a sharp advance in the prices of onions and cabbage, with conditions pointing to a continued ad- vance throughout the winter and spring. Considerable dissatisfaction is ex- pressed by firms having contract orders with growers of onion seed at the very small percentage of a delivery they are to receive of several important varieties. There is the old story going around that the grower cuts the delivery down in order to realize an advanced price for open orders. Crop 1905. RAWSON'S ROYAI. STRAIN CYCLAMEN is ready for delivery.

The incorporators are Everett Davis, forty shares; John H. Elton, thirty-nine shares; T. W. Davis, one share. Speaking of advertising in general publications, the Ford Seed Co., Baven- na, O., say that they believe they will eoDoentr§,t^ their efforts on a smaller pat of papers the coming year. They are ieonvinced that it will pay them better tlian to spread out so much. They will sot materially change their appropria- tion but use a greater number of issues, tbue keeping before the readers for a 'longer time. Watkins & Simpson, the London -seedsmen, have prepared a large and Jiandsomely printed catalogue of electro- types suitable for illustrating seed cata- logues. They are also sending the Amer- ican trade a catalogue of seed novelties mostly of their own raising, including a new runner bean, the Marvel, named iMcause of its prolificness; a rich orange ■almon sweet pea named Evelyn Byatt, v^wiiioh created a sensatioji at the London riiows, and many others. They say that they consider it the strongest list of jurvelties they have ever issued. CORN IN OHIO, 'C S.

Peter Henderson & Co., New York, submit for registration Canna Vesuvius; flowers deep red, arranged in branching heads nine inches across; plant four to five feet in height; foliage green. Medal for School Gardens. The bronze medal of the society which was placed at the disposal of Miss Susan B. Sipe for award at her discretion to the public school children of Washing- ton, D. C, has been won by the Dennison school for superior work in gardening. Miss Sipe, in reporting on this award, states that a year ago the children at this school had nothing but a gravel yard. They now have a magnificent dis- play of asters, zinnias, cannas, a fine lawn and a vegetable garden that is fur- nishing the nature study material for the schools of the building. This has been entirely the work of the children, every grade taking its share. Most of the soil has been brought in by toy express wagons from vacant lots. Wm. J. Stewart, Sec'y. THE READERS' CORNER. Cyanide of Potassium. The suggestions given in the Review from issue to issue, if heeded and sift- ed, will cause the average florist to wear diamonds some day. I learned the use of hydrocyanic acid gas from the Bbview and must say its use has been worth a great deal to me. I was getting gray-headed fighting white fly and other greenhouse pests, but since I learned this method of fumigating and commenced to use it my temper has improved and my hair is regaining its natural color. I buy my cyanide in the granulated form and find it gives better results and is easier to handle. A. Gardner. The Prize Essays. Enclosed find another dollar for the Beview another year. We find your paper covers the field of floriculture about as fully as seems possible. We hope a great deal of good will result from the essays printed in your paper on "The Ideal Employer" and "The Ideal Salesman." Having been both salesman and employer I fully appreciate the largeness of the subject. Anything which will promote a better understand- ing between the employer and employee is worthy of high praise. To know one's fault is the first step toward mending and I think these essays will do a great deal of good. J. H. Cain. 5 DOZ. PALMS FOR SI 0.00 Incktt Itaf Pot. hlgk. chsiicttr Idoz.

To a florist who uses a great deal of ^een stuff in connection with cut flowers and designs the difficulty of getting As- paragus plumosus stems in sufficient •quantity is often a serious consideration. This is especiaUy felt in our smaller towns, where large establishments for the growing of ferns, etc., are not located and often the retailer has to fall back on some other sort of trimming that is cot as desirable. Very few retailers having establish- ments devoted to growing plants and flowers have sufficient room to devote to asparagus, and as this is now an indis- pensable adjunct to the business I can offer my experience in handling aspara- gus in lath houses. I have found that the asparagus will grow and thrive anywhere smilax can be grown successfully. It is equally as hardy in this locality and, although it only sends out one strong crop each year, it in the meanwhile furnishes a good <|uantity of short stems, which are really more desirable for bouquets or designs than the longer ones. Three years ago I built a lath house 20x75 feet. I put the laths closer to- gether than on the smilax house; that is, the space between each lath was about two-thirds the width of the lath %nth which it was built. I excavated to a depth of eight inches and filled about lialf the depth with rotten manure. I ithen put back all the soil, which raised the beds several inches above the sur- roundings. I dug it up well and planted the asparagus about one foot apart in the rows, running them crosswise. I put fifty rows in the house, which gave •eighteen inches between each row. In this way I used up about 1,000 plants from 4-inch pots. I planted them in the month of April and did not get much of a crop until September, when they commenced to make tremendous shoots. I gave them plenty of strings to climb on and from these plants I cut over 1,500 strings each from six to eight feet long. All the following spring and summer I cut quantities of short stems and in July I again gave them about the same quantity of strings, with the same good results. This year I gave them a good mulch- ing, in July, of well rotted manure, and they have made a tremendous growth since then. The beds are still consider- ably higher than the walks and I have found that in a couple of low spots they do not grow as well as in the other places, probably because too much water collects there. The cold weather has not hurt the leaves, although it checks the growth and turns the stems a very dark greeu. The only difficulty 1 have found has been in places where the moisture col- lected and the stems have turned yellow. The texture is not quite as fine as of the asparagus grown under glass, but it an- swers for all purposes and, as the house requires hardly any attention, I con- sider it one of the best paying proposi- tions in the business. How long the clumps will continue to produce so abundantly I do not know, but this is the third season and I am of the opinion that if they are not too closely cut dur- ing their growing season they will con- tinue to produce indefinitely. 6. PORTLAND, ORE. State of Business. The business activity which asserted itself all summer continued until the closing days of the fair. The entertain- ing of officials who so ably conducted this memorable undertaking called for the best in the market, but there w%s none too much stock, weather conditions being responsible. Sunshine is now at a premium and the Oregon mists, which generally prevail from early October un- til July 4, seem to have begun in earn- est. The supply of outdoor flowers came to an abrupt termination and the green- house output, though good, is limited. Boses never were finer at this season and we are glad to note that local growers are beginning to realize the necessity of an early fall crop. Never was the de- mand so great as now. Home-grown chrysanthemums have made their debut in a modest way. The finest seen here were shipped in from California and re- tailed at $5 per dozen. A look into the numerous growing establishments convinced us of much activity there and that we may expect some fine stock for the next few weeks at least. Recent visitors were K. C. Eisele, Bak* er City, and A. McLaren, Salem. Exposition Awards. The great Lewis and Clark fair is now a matter of history, having closed auspi- ciously October 14. It has been a huge success^ from every point of view. Surely the florists do not regret its existence, for it proved an impetus to what other- wise might have' been a dull summer. The absence of a trade display was not due to a lack of interest on the part of the .florists, the management offering no inducements therefor. The landscaping and horticultural features showed artis- tic ability and were classed with the principal attractions. Its value to the trade cannot be overestimated. The visi- tors from rural districts evinced great enthusiasm, it being an education to them from which we shall expect later results. Awards for permanent exhibits were as follows: Gold medal to W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, for lawn grass seed. Gold medal to Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago, for bedding plants. Gold medal to George Otten, Portland, for tuberous begonias. Gold medal to J. J'. Butzer, Portland, for sweet peas. H. J. M. SAN FRANOSCO. The Market The bright, warm weather during the past week has had the effect of bringing out quantities of good stock. Carnations are again plentiful and the short- stemmed flowers, so noticeable a few weeks ago, have been replaced by stock first-class in every respect.

The outdoor stock, although not quite as plentiful as a year ago, is handled by the thousands daily. The stems do not seem to be as good as we are accustomed to see, but the prices are a shade better. Sweet peas hold their own very well and still cost the stores $1 per dozen bunches. Violets are only in fair supply and will not be more plentiful until we have some rain. Valley and Lilium longiflorum are limited, but as long as mums remain plentiful the retailers will not worry much. Variotis Notes.

They also ask a writ of mandamus to compel McNabb to issue a license to them to sell nursery stock in Oklahoma. They allege that on Oc- tober 13 they deposited the required fee to obtain a license, that a receipt for the money was given, but that Mc- Nabb refused to issue a permit until they agreed not to sell to certain par- ties in Oklahoma; that these certain parties were heavy buyers, whose busi- ness McNabb was trying to corner for a concern in which he was interested.

At Rochester, a city which now boasts a population of 200,000, there are some fine florists' stores, those of Keller, Wil- son and Salter Bros, being especially worthy of notice because of their en- terprise, growth and ability. The new store of Salter Bros, has a frontage of nearly 100 feet. The opportunity for display is taken advantage of to the limit. Fortunately for the firm, they have an extensive plant to draw upon ^or the daily supply required. The great reputation Rochester has achieved as a nursery center is illus- trated at this season by the enormous shipments of trees for the fall deliver- ies.

Trade has been quiet around town during the past week and stock seems to have accumulated in all quarters. Mums are plentiful, with the exception, Si^rhaps, of good yellow. There .is an ver-supply of carnations and roses of all kinds, with the possible exception of American Beauties, which are always in good demand. Dahlias are still coming m good quantities, but at time of writ- ing probabilities are favorable for some sharp frosts and colder weather; this will, we anticipate, make a keener de- mand for greenhouse flowers. Our Thanksgiving this year is rather early to have much effect on business from the florists' standpoint and, while the aver- age florist is a fairly thankful chap at all times, he could be more thankful if Thanksgiving day were set for Novem- ber instead of October.^ Various Notes. This week has seen a new flower store opened up at 92 Queen street. East To- ronto, a branch of the People's Florist, 336 Queen street West, of which A. E. Moore is proprietor. The People's Flo- rist has a big trade in the west end, handling a medium class of stock. This class of trade they expect to establish in the east end, where there seems to be a good opening for such a store. D. J. Sinclair has just taken into stock his import orders of German bas- kets. Up to date this is the largest im- portation of flower baskets handled by a Canadian firm. " D.-J.

The house I is 22x40 feet, ten feet to the ridge, with 'a glass partition in the center. I need. «t least 55 degrees when the weather out- doors is sometimes 50 degrees below izero. I have another house 18x36, twelve feet high. How should it be piped? P. J. K. ! In heating houses of small size with tot water in as cold a climate as you are working in, it will be well to use hot I water under pressure, i. e., use malleable iron pipe and an elevated expansion tank. A good plan for the house 22x40 feet woidd be to use a 2 ^^ -inch riser under the ridge, with the highest point at the •end of the greenhouse most distant from the boiler. From that point take off /three 2-inch pipes, one to supply each of the three coils of five 2-inch pipes ar- ranged under the three greenhouse benches. The benches should be con- structed in such manner as to allow a space of at least one inch between the side bench and the greenhouse wall. The house 18x36 can be piped in the same manner. A 2-inch flow under the ridge will be large enough and fourteen 2-inch returns, five under each side bench, with four under the center bench will provide sufficient heat. L. C.

Chicago will have to look to its laurels. A breeze close to eighty miles an hour made one accustomed to the zephyrs of New York unsteady. It was quite a transition from the summer tem- perature of Manhattan to the first snow of the season, but the warm welcome of the president-elect of the S. A. F. ban- ished quickly all evidence of the chill without. Mr. Kasting is a busy man these days. Chairman of the committee which is raising $50,000 for the German Hospital in Buffalo, he has nearly $40,000 already assured. Kealizing his coming responsibilities as head of the S. A. F., he has laid politics on the shelf and is planning to give all his time to the interests of the national society. His place of business is one of the largest supply houses in the country, with a ground floor of 7,500 square feet, an immense cellar and gallery, the whole building having been used as the theater before Mr. Kasting secured it. It seems none too large for the multiplicity of branches to his supply trade and four large greenhouses filled with plants in- dicate further the completeness of his conveniences. Mr. Kasting is very en- thusiastic as to the success of the Day- ton convention and will spare neither time nor effort to make it the banner convention of the society. A call on William Scott found that storehouse of horticultural information convalescing rapidly from a severe sick- ness which he has had to combat since the convention. Still he carries his six- ty-one strenuous years lightly and bids fair to renew his old time vigor. If the universal desire of the florists of this country could be gratified be would carry through his cultural directions until he reached the century. He is planning now for a trip to the Chicago exhibition. The Wm. Scott Co. is doing a very fine business. Its retail store is one of the best in the city and its Corfu and other enterprises are booming. The genial hospitality dispensed by Mr. Scott's charming wife and daughter make a visit to the veteran one long and pleas- ant to be remembered. A New Yorker is made to feel quite at home in some of the Buffalo retail stores by the presence of familiar faces. In fact, the New York ideas predomi- nate in decoration at both Palmer's and Anderson's, where the windows, the dis- position of the counters and the general style of window effect all combine to il- lustrate the magic touch of competent hands that have catered to the artistic eyes of the metropolis. At Palmer's lower store Ed. Slattery, formerly of Thorley's, is very much in evidence. He has as a lieutenant an- other New Yorker, Miss McNiece, while the up-towTi store is under the manage- ment of A. E. Beyer, ten years an em- ployee of Mr. Palmer. The whole store has been changed to conform to modern ideas and requirements. At Anderson's another of the Thorley experts, C. A. Schnell, is very much at home, and with a window of our ham- pers filled with chrysanthemums and decorated with ribbons one must rub his eyes to realize he is not gazing into the big window on Broadway, where the cibotiums and the novelties and the big Angora cat and the choice flowers ap- pear. Here the woodwork of the new store is all of antique oak, very rich and stately, in harmony with the suave politician, Andy Adams. Mr. Ander- son has a fine assortment of lieutenants and with his new conservatory and the great greenhouses of his uncle, A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, to draw upon, there is little wonder his progress is rapid and his standing high. His home- grown Lorraine begonias, poinsettiaa and mums are his special pride. J. Austin Shaw. THE KANSAS CITY SHOW. Kansas City makes it a rule never to do things by halves, and the coming flower show in the big Convention hall will be no exception to the practice. No effort is being spared to make this the finest exhibition of its kind ever held. There is a long list of premiums and the amounts offered are liberal, while the Kansas city flower show is noted for its prompt payment of all premiums on the closing day. The interest in the show is not confined to the florist but the entire city is interested and the in- dications are that there will be a record breaking attendance this year. Geo. E. Kessler, the city landscape gardener, who was appointed director of the show, is in Europe and L. A. Goodman will carry on the work in his absence. Mr. Goodman is president of the American Pomologi- cal Society and is an indefatigable work- er and the arrangements for the show are in good hands in Mr. Kessler 's ab- sence. Convention hall, in which the show is to be held, is one of the largest build- ings of its kind in the west. It has a seating capacity of over 15,000. It has 30,000 square feet of floor space that can be used for the exhibits. The arrange- ments of the hall and the staging of the exhibits will be something unique in this line. It is the intention to have this show entirely different from anything ever held before. An Italian villa with a staircase, terrace, fountain and statu- ary will be built in the north end of the hall. This Italian effect will be car- ried out in all the arrangements and will form a most effective background for the exhibits. The paid attendance at each of the former shows was between 50,000 and 60,000 for the week and, as there is a greater and more widespread interest than ever before, it is safe to predict that the attendance will exceed all former records. Secretary Louis W. Shouse says that the prospects were never brighter for a successful show. He believes from pres- ent indications that this show will be the best one that has ever been held. He has already received assurances from a large number of the leading growers of the country that they will send large displays. Among those he mentioned were such well known growers as Nathan Smith & Son, Chicago Carnation Co., H. W. Buckbee, and the J. D. Thompson Carnation Co. Mr. Shouse is very en- thusiastic and is working with untiring energy to make everything a success. The florists advisory committee, com- posed of W. L. Bock, W. J. Barnes and Samuel Murray, is working in hearty co-operation with the flower show man- agement. It is an assured fact that the great Kansas City flower show will again be second to none. Kay-See. PLEASE MENTION THE REVIEW WHEN WRITING ANY OF THESE ADVERTISERS. mi The Weekly Florists^ Review* October 26, 1906. KANSAS QTY. The Market, This locality was visited by a kill- ing frost this week, that destroyed most of the outdoor flowers, which will make a better demand for cut flowers and inci- dentally boost prices a little. There was a shortage of white flowers the first of the week, the demand for white roses and carnations being much greater than the supply. The early chrysanthemums are coming in, and some very good stock is being cut, which is finding a ready sale at fair prices. The horse show had HO perceptible efl:ect on the trade. Various Notes. Jaines Bigham has returned from a business trip to Chicago and Milwaukee. Miss J. E. Murray says that she had a very good business this week. A. F. Barbe has a range of the finest roses we have seen this season. He has a house that he is carrying over the sec- ond year that are fine. Mr. Barbe sells all hiq stock at the greenhouse to his re- tail trade. Kansas City is to have a new florist establishment. C. A. Shaeflfer, the pro- prietor of the Kansas City Floral Co., has formed a partnership with Theodore Kahma and James Bigham. They have leased a large store and basement on Walnut street, where they will do a wholesale and retail business. The ground floor will be devoted to the retail busi- ness and the wholesale department will occupy the basement. A general line of florists' supplies as well as cut flowers will be handled. Mr. Bigham, who is to be the manager of the new concern, has just returned from Chicago, where he let the contract for the installment of a large refrigerator, 9x17 feet. The retail room will be handsomely decorated and t\iey will cater to the best trade. The firm will open for business about the twelfth of next month and will be the largest concern in the city in this line. Mr. Shaeffer is now in NeW York ordering stock. Lawrence Swayger is absent from his store on account of sickness. Kay-See. Elkhart, Ind. — The Van Aken Bros.' branch store here is now nicely in- stalled in a new stand, 409 South Main street.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* J 323 THE EXHIBITIONS NEW YORK. The annual autumn show of the Amer- ican Institute opened Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock, at the Macy exhibition hall. The attendance at the opening was only lair, but enthusiastic, the entire floor pace of the great hall being occupied liy exhibits of uniformly high class. There were many visitors from Boston, Detroit and nearby cities and the uni- versal verdict was that it is the best rhow ever seen in New York. No such collection of orchids has ever been staged ia this country. The exhibitors include imager & Hurrell, Julius Eoehrs Com- pany, Siebrecht & Son and others and the r'ombined value of the exhibits runs into many thousands of dollars. Some twenty leading private estates are represented by specimen plants, cut rhrysaDthemum blooms, etc. The chrys- anthemum cut blooms are up to the usual standard, but the interest centers in the novelties exhibited by Totty, Duckham, Herrington, Pierson and others. The chrysanthemum plants are of su- perb quality. They have never been shown in better form in New York. Roehrs, Siebrecht and Childs have splen- did groups of palms. The F. E. Pierson Co., Bobbink & Atkins, the Cottage Gardens, Eoehrs and Siebrecht show ever- greens in upwards of fifty varieties. Childs has a fine group of seedling calad- iums. Eoehrs and Bobbink & Atkins show dracsenas and bay trees and Eoehrs also has orange trees. E. Vincent, Jr., & Son, "White Marsh, Md., send their usual collection of pompon chrysanthe- mums. There is a small exhibit of roses, but a grand display of carnations. Guttman & Weber show Victory in fine form and Cottage Gardens stages Eobert Craig. Fiancee shows up well. The Pierson Co. has Carnation Winsor in fine form. Devoy & Son and Geo. T. Schuneman are the violet exhibitors. Weinberg has his usual group of cacti. Of the seedsmen, A. T. Boddington, Thorburn & Co. and Marshall have extensive exhibits. There is a large dis- play of farm products, fertilizers, na- ture books, etc. Harrison & Sons, Ber- lin, Md., have a large exhibit of fruit. The gathering of so great an exhibit and its successful arrangement is an- other triumph of Dr. Hexamer's manage- ment. The advertising, however, has been weak, but it is expected that the word will go out that the show is a triumph and that the attendance will be good in tbe later days of the week. The awards ^vill be announced on Thursday. MADISON, N. J. The tenth annual show of the Morris <'Hinty Gardeners' and Florists' Society '-18 held October 26 and 27 and from *'very standpoint was a great success. ^he attendance was better than ever be- *tre and the quality of the exhibits was S"perlatively high. The premier class called for thirty-six lowers in six varieties and here the old ' le rivals, Wm. Duckham and A. Her- '■'"gton fought it out as usual, the first prize falling to Mr. Duckham, who staged Merza, Mrs. W. Duckham, Donald McLeod, Nellie Pockett, F. S. Vallis and a new pink seedling of which more will bo heard later. Mr. Herrington 's ex- hibit, which it seemed could hardly be beat, included splendid vases of Mrs. H. Eobinson, Mrs. W. Duckham, W. Duckham and Nellie Pockett. Eighteen flowers in three varieties was \son by E. Vince, gardener to E. D. Foote, with James Fraser, gardener to O. H. Kahn, second. There were mag- nificent flowers staged in this class also, Lady Hopetoun and W. Duckham being especially fine. For twelve flowers in four varieties conditions were reversed and Mr. Fraser ran first, with Mr. Vince second. There were six other entries in this class. Ten white was won by A. Herring- ton with Mrs. Eobinson, W. McMichael, gardener for C. A. Work, being second. Ten yellow was won by W. Duckham with Mrs. W. Duckham, A. Herrington being a very close second with a fine lot of Cheltoni. A special prize for ten pink brought cut three vases of W. Duckham that were a sight to look at. If the people who say this variety is no good could only have seen that exhibit they would have been convinced against their will. These flowers stood erect on 5-foot stems and the flowers by actual measurement were thirty inches in circumference and full to the center. The first prize went to A. Herrington, with James Fraser second. Twelve flowers in twelve varieties was won by Mr. Fraser, as was also the vase arranged for effect, Edward Eeagan com- ing second in the latter class. Six flowers in six varieties was won by H. L. Hand, gardener to C. P. Chris- holm, with John Heeremans second. Mr. Hand also got first for six pinks, six white and ten flowers in five varieties, E. Halliday, John Fraser and John Heere- mans running second respectively. For six yellow, John Fraser, gardener to G. E. Kissel, Morristown, was first, with H. L. Hand second. Both these exhibitors put up F. S. Vallis and the flowers were immense. For six flowers 1904 introduction, A. Herrington was first, with E. Vince sec- ond. Six flowers 1905 introduction, W. Duckham was first, E. Vince second. Best display of pompons, W. Duckham was first with a fine lot, M. McMullen coming second. In the classes for commercial growers only Eobert M. Schultz was first in twelve white with White Coombes, Henry Hentz first on twelve yellow with Apple- ton. Twenty-four flowers in twenty-four va- rieties was a great competition, W. Duck- ham, A. Herrington and E. Vince run- ning first, second and third respectively. I'his class, shown singly in glasses, was the most popular class in the hall and should be taken up more by other socie- ties, as it forms a very welcome change from the long-stemmed classes. Mr. Duckham in his exhibit showed many of the novelties, Merstham Crimson, T. Bichardson, Old Gold, Dolly Glide, Mrs. H. Partridge and others, which helped him very much. In roses^^ while the quantity was not extensive, the quality was very high. Eighteen Beauties was won by L. A. Noe, with L. M. Noe the winner for twelve Beauties. In twenty-five Brides- maids, David Falconer was first, L. A. Noe second, L. B. Coddington third. In twenty-five Brides, C. M. Wagner was first, D. Falconer second and L. A. Noe third. For twelve Maids, C. Badgley was first, with L. M. Noe second, and in twelve Brides conditions were reversed. Six Maids went to H. L. Hand, John Heeremans second, and six Brides to Mr. Heeremans. For six Beauties, Mr. Duck- ham was first and Mr. Hand for six teas any variety, with Killarney. Carnation classes were excellently filled this year and the quality was un- surpassed. Three kinds, twelve flowers of each, was won by E. Vince, with H. L. Hand second. Mr. Vince also won for eighteen flowers, any variety, with grand Fiancee, Cottage Gardens coming second with Eobert Craig. There were twelve other entries in this class, all fine. The Farquhar silver cup for twenty-five fiowers each of two varieties was won by W. Duckham, with Fiancee and White Lawson. The way Fiancee was set up proves that this variety is still peerless jvhen properly handled. In violets, James Fraser was first and A. Laub second on the doubles and Peter Duff first, with E. Vince second, ^n^ the singles. Groups were a fine feature, four entries materializing. John Fraser was awarded first, John Heeremans second and E. Vince third, the chrysanthemum plants that were set up in these groups being es- pecially noteworthy. For three specinten plants, 12-inch pots, A. Herrington was first with a very fine lot, Mrs. Coombes being particularly good. One plant, 12-uich pot, was won by Peter Duff, with a beautiful white called Lady Lydia. Twelve 6-inch pots was won by E, Vince, with Peter Duff second. Quality here was superb. For six plants in flower, G. Eeagan scored first. In vegetables the quantity and quality were both very high, the Henderson spe- cials being won by W, Duckham, James Fraser and John Heeremans. The Weeber & Don specials were won by John Fraser and H. L. Hand, the Thor- burn special by W. Duckham. Certificates were awarded to the fol- lowing, which did not figure in the com- peting classes: Guttman & Weber, for Victory carnation; Charles H. Totty, for twenty varieties new chrysanthemums and Eichmond rose; E. Vince and John Heeremans for hothouse grapes; F. E. Pierson Co., for cactus dahlias; Lager & Hurrell, for an orchid group; John N. May, for pompons; C. A. Work, for a Boston fern, and Dr. Ward, for a very fine davallia. The hall was beautifully decorated, many fine palms from A. Herrington and W. Duckham being artistically arranged. Visitors included as usual the bulk of the New York wholesale section and the different representatives of the seed houses and other interests. We were also fortunate in having with us Joe Hill, of Eichmond, Ind., on his wedding trip, who was greatly interested and to whom I would like to refer some of our western friends who do not think much of Duck- ham as a pink. Mr. Hill was "showm." 1321 The Weekly Florists^ Review* NOTXMBBB 2, 1005. The judges were William Turner, of Oceanic, N. J.; Thomas W. Head, Gro- ton, Conn., and Jas. Blair, Staatsburg, N. Y. Chaeles H. Tottt. LENOX, MASS. The fall show of the Lenox Horticul- tural Society occurred October 25 and 26 and is generally conceded to have been the best this energetic society has yet held. Competition was keen throughput and the arrangements were exceedingly well carried out. ^ Groups occupied the center of the hall. These are always a feature in Lenox. First prize was won by J. Heeremans, gardener to W. D. Sloane, whose ar- rangement reminded one of the famous groups staged at the big English shows by Cypher, of Cheltenham. Every plant seemed to be set in its right place and showed to the best advantage. The cen- ter was built up with cork bark filled with moss. A perfect Kentia Australis eight feet high formed the apex and below it quite a variety of plants were used. Close to the edge of the group were five cork stands with crotons and arecas on the tops and tradescantia and small begonias growing from each stand, W. D. Sloane had the best kentia. John Sloane won for nephrolepis and James Lanier for any other fern. For twelve flowering plants other than chrys- anthemums, Girand Foster was in the lead, Mrs. R. Winthrop second. For twelve foliage plants in 6-inch pots, W. D. Sloane, Girand Foster and John Sloane won in order named. For six Begonia Lorraine, G. Foster was first and^John Shields second. There was a grand show of orchids. For a 50-foot group, W. D. Sloane won. For twelve Cattleya labiata, there were some grand specimens shown, John Sloane, Girand Foster and R. W. Patter- son being the winners. For six C. labiata, W. D. Sloane was first and Charles Lanier second. John Sloane won for twelve cypripediums, J. D. Choate sec- ond. For twelve Oncidium varicosum Rogersii, J. Woodward was first with some superb plants, Girand Foster tak- ing the lead for six plants. Roses were very well shown, Liberty and Beauty being especially good. The prizes went to W. D. Sloane, John Sloane and Girand Foster. The carnation classes called out strong competition. Senator Crane and other THE LARGEST GREENHOUSE. At Bedford, thirty-five miles from New York, the John Young Co. has built what is believed to be the largest single-span greenhouse in the world. The house is used exclusively for growing roses and is 54x701 feet. The actual floor space is 37,126 square feet, there are 46,808 square feet of glass in the roof, 5,049 square feet of glass and equivalent in the sides, and the gables contain 1,417 square feet of glass and equivalent, making a total of glass and equivalent exposed sur- face of 5,273 square feet. The cubical contents of the house amount to 569,913 cubic feet. The house is designed so as to obtain a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees inside, with an outside tem- perature of zero. The house lies east and west and has two exposed gables. It is what is commonly known < as three-quarter span; the eave plates on each side are about six feet high. The long span of the roof faces the south and has a pitch of 30 degrees to the horizon- tal. The short, or north, span has a pitch of 42 degrees. The heating plant is one of the Greenhouse 54x701 Built ioir Jolm Younc Co., at Bedford, N. Y., Said to be Largest Greenhouse in the World. Cissus discolor winding around it. Be- tween these stands were banks of moss. These were covered with valley, Gypso- phila elegans, Adiantum Farleyense and orchids. The gypsophila gave a very delicate touch. The edge was Farley- ense fern and pandanus beautifully col- ored in 4-inch pots some six inches high. Not a pot could be seen in the group. All were covered with moss and appeared as if naturally growing. The arrange- ment was carried out in a most masterly manner and its extreme beauty arrested the immediate attention of every visitor. The second prize went to E. Jenkins, gar- dener to Girand Foster, and would it- self have been a winner at almost any other show in America, being finely put up. The chrysanthemum classes brought out strong competition and many very fine blooms were staged. Girand Foster was the most successful exhibitor in the cut flower section, taking eight firsts, in- cluding best thirty-six blooms, which were magnificent Wm. Duckham. Other suc- cessful exhibitors were W. D. Sloane, John Sloane, Mrs. John E. Parson, Charles Lanier, Mrs. Robert Winthrop, Mrs. F. K. Sturgis and Geo. H. Morgan. For chrysanthemum plants, the prizes went to George G. Haven, Girand Foster, R. W. Patterson, John Sloane, Mrs. J. E. Parsons, Mrs. R. C. Winthrop and Mrs. F. K. Sturgis. new sorts were shown. The prizes went to W. D. Sloane, John Sloane, L. W. Acheson, R. W. Patterson, Charles Lanier, August Schemerhorn, G. H. Mor- gan, Mrs. R. Winthrop, Mrs. J. E. Par- sons and Girand Foster. The best 100 Marie Louise violets were from George H. Morgan, John Dallas gardener. Mrs. John E. Parsons won with Campbell and John Sloane for sin- gle. The new cosmos. Lady Lenox, from A. H. Winthrop, secured a first-class cer- tificate. The flowers are four to five inches across, of a deep pink color, a de- cided acquisition. Mrs. F. K. Sturgis received a diploma for a group of plants. Guttman & Weber a similar award for Carnation Victory and John Shields the same for cyclamen. E. J. Norman, of the Westinghouse estate, received a diploma for a fine collection Cjt vegeta- bles. There were excellent displays of fruits and vegetables. The grapes from Girand Foster, W. D. Sloane and Mrs. R. Winthrop were extra good. W. D. Curtis had pumpkins weighing 153 pounds each. The attendance of the public was ex- ceedingly good and there were many vis- itors from a distance. The judges were James Wheeler, Brookline, Mass.; Peter Duff, Orange, N. J.; I. L. Powell, Mill- brook, N. Y., and Walter Shaw, Hunt- ington, L. I. W, N. Craig. notable features of the structure and is described as follows in a recent issue of the Engineering Review: The house contains eight benches and is divided into four sections by three cross walks. The main flow passes down the north walk, feeding branch flows in each cross walk, so that in reality there is a separate sys- tem for each of the four divisions. The west end of the greeijhouse has an elevation of seven feet above the east end, which gives a pitch of twelve inches to the 100 feet for the entire length of piping of the heating system, which consists of a 100 horse-power tubular boiler, located in the power house, forty feet to the north of the greenhouse, and li4-inch wrought iron pipe placed on the side walls and un der the benches running parallel witli the grade. The boiler foundation i^ about fifteen feet below the walk levci of the greenhouse-^ at the point of en trance of the steam main. The heating system is fed by a 7 inch main, which is run in a trench fc a distance of seventy feet, and enters at the north side of the house under the first cross walk at a point about 130 feet from the east end. From this point a 4%-inch cross walk brancli is taken out of the main, which feeds the first or east division, containing twenty-three lines of 1^-inch pipes.

Details of G)niiections of Branch Flows and Returns with Bench Q>ils in the Largfe Greenhouse of the John Young Co^ •2-inch return carries the water of con- densation from this division back to the return main. This is the only pipe in the house that does not pitch toward the east, i. e., follow the grade. As the first cross walk is about fifteen inches higher than the east end of the house, it was necessary for this return to dive into the grade. From this point the main is composed of 6-inch pipe, and continues this size through the second and third divisions, being bled by 4%-inch branches at the cross walks; each of these 4%-inch branches or cross walk mains feeds twenty-two lines of 1^-inch radiating pipes. From the third cross walk to the west end of the house, the steam main is 4%-inch pipe. This feeds the last of fourth division, which is heated by twenty-three lines of 1^4 -inch pipe. As noted, the two end divisions, Nos. 1 and 4, are heated by twenty-three lines of 1^-inch pipe and the two in- side divisions, Nos. 2 and 3, are heated by twenty-two lines. This difference is made up by larger steam and return mains running through the two middle divisions, and the house is, as a whole, uniformly heated. The main steam pipe, which is well carried on roller chairs, runs up the north side of the house in the walk, about ten inches to center above the walk level. Its expansion is taken care of by a 6-inch expansion joint situated about eight feet to the west of the third cross walk. The main is well covered with asbestos covering, having a waterproof jacket to protect it when the plants are being hosed. It is also securely anchored to prevent its rolling downhill. It is relieved of water through each of the cross walk mains, which are in turn relieved by a drip in the end connected with the main return pipe which runs down the south side of the house in the walk at a depth under the walk level of about its own diameter. The side coils are hung on improved Lord & Burnham rafter iron clutch hangers. Each end of these side coils is securely anchored and every line is furnished with a brass expansion joint. Under each bench in the house there are two 1^-inch steam pipes, con- nected, like the side coils, with the steam cross walk mains at the west end and to the return cross walk main at the east end. These bench lines are all anchored securely in the middle, and the expansion is taken care of by the swivel joints of the connections at the ends of the lines. The total amount of radiation in the house is about 7,062 square feet, or over three miles of 1^4- inch pipe in lineal feet. The valve control of the house is excellent, it be- ing possible to run any one, all, or none at all of the fifty lines of 1%- inch pipe which comprise the radia- tion. The - greenhouse with all its appur- tenances and steam heating plant was designed, constructed and installed by the Burnham-Hitchings-Pierson Co. connecting the returns with the city pres- sure is a good one where the pressure does not exceed thirty to forty pounds. If the pipes are properly graded there should be very little heating up of the pipe connecting the water with the boiler. If you decide to get a new. boiler it should have a capacity to heat 2,000 feet of radiation. Your houses should have about 1,700 feet and a boiler to heat this should have a rated capacity for at least 2,000 feet of radiation. L. C. C. A COIL HEATER. I have three houses, one 20x80 and eight feet to the ridge, one 20x75 and twelve feet to the ridge, and one 20x100 eight feet high. The ends are glass but the walls are partly protected. The climate is that of the.. District of Columbia. I have a coil boiler which I have used two winters but it does not work quite right. It contains seventy li4-iiich pipes eight feet long, with 3-inch manifolds. There are five layers of pipes over the fire space and two layers in the draft space. Some of the tubes look badly burned and in two places water drips where the scales have been knocked off. Would you risk this heater another year? I have the city water connected with the return and the hot water backs up into it some ways. Would it be better to have an expansion tank on the flow pipe! F. J. K. I doubt if it would be safe to go into winter depending upon a boiler in the condition you mention. It may be, how- ever, that only few of the tubes in the boiler are injured, in which case they might be cut out and others put in with long screw connections. The plan of HARRISn. Please tell us when Harrisii lilies should be planted for next Easter. What kind of soil should be nsed, size of pot for 5x7 bulbs, and how should they be treated? A, J. B. Lilium Harrisii should be potted just as soon as the bulbs are received, for if they are exposed to the air for a pro- tracted period they deteriorate quickly and seem to lose in vitality. For 5x7 bulbs for a first pot use 4-inch and pot firmly, placing the bulb deep enough in the pot so that it is just covered. They do well in an ordinary rose soil which' has been composted during the summer. This compost should consist of five parts good, fibrous loam and one part de- composed cow manure, thoroughly incor- porated. Immediately after potting they should! be well watered and placed in a pit,, plunging the pots in some such materia? as ashes or sand, and covered beyond the reach of frost. To get them into bloom for Easter without having to resort to hard forc- ing they should be brought into the house at least sixteen weeks before that date and placed in a house with a tem- perature of 50 degrees, but it is usel^s to try to force them if they have not been potted sufficiently long to have made good roots. As soon as the stems attain a length of four inches they should be put into the flowering pots and potted deep enough to cover at least one inch of the stem. These flowering pots should be Cross Section of Large Greenhouse of the John Young Co., Showing Benches and Branch Steam Mains. I" 7 y "rt -?

The compost should be the same as that previously used and a 4-inch pot of bone meal added to each bushel of the compost. Drain well and pot firmly. Gradually increase the temperature till it reaches 60 degrees at night, with a day tempera- ture of 75 degrees during bright weather. These plants are greatly benefited by an application of liquid manure during the growing season, especially during the period of bud formation, and until the buds show color, when it should be dis- continued. Keep the plants clean and do not let green -fly get a hold, as they are very destructive to this class of plants, and do not let them suffer for want of water. Bibes. ^♦^<»^<*Jn.'^^n.<»^<^jn.<^'WLV^jn. t i '♦^«^% b THE RETAIL FLORIST A LARGE LUNCHEONiTABLE. In answer to an inquiry for a decora- tive scheme for a large round luncheon table for a musical society, the follow- ing might be suggested: Although the decoration must be high, it need not necessarily be dense nor heavy, but light enough to admit of at least a partial view across the table. If chrysanthemums, cosmos or carnations can be used, make a large ball of a solid color, or a number of colors shaded gradually one into the other, and suspend from an overhanging chandelier, if such is found over the table. If not, erect a tripod of heavy gilded wire in the center of the table, and suspend the ball from the inside, at a convenient distance above the table. At the base of each of the three wires of the tripod set a small plaque filled with fairly long-stemmed flowers and green to correspond with the flowers used in the ball. If the ball can be suspended from a chandelier, start delicate strands of asparagus or smilax from a point over the ball to each place, and trace a tiny lyre with the smilax sprays where each strand terminates. The ball might also be made of violets, if expense is not too great and the small lyres traced by a single line of violet flowers cut short and laid on the cloth inside of each place. If a vase arrangement is preferred, have a very large, tall vase in the center, with a circle of small vases about it, one at each place. Two or three or half a dozen flowers, as the case requires, might be placed in each small vase, the color and kind of flowers corresponding with the center bouquet. Connect each vase in the outside circle with the large vase in the center by sprays of green not drawn very tight, but decidedly enough to show the idea. A more rustic effect would be a loose, large group of chrysanthemums, autumn leaves and cosmos in a very large jar- diniere or a number of jardinieres grouped together, the outside hidden with fern leaves or banked up with sheet moss. Around the outside stretch an enclosure of gilded wire netting close around the group of jardinieres so that the flowers and foliage may hang out- wards over the edge of the wire, like ap- ple boughs over t^ orchard fence. Scat- ter flowers and ferns carelessly about the table outside of this centerpiece. Here is a seasonable design: Select a large number of very long-stemmed clirysanthemums. Spread out the lower ends of the stems to resemble the frame worit of a wigwam. Bring the heads to- gether at the top and tie with wire. Afterwards make a number of rosettes of satin ribbon with one streamer to each rosette. Fasten these rosettes closely enough around the wire to make a continuous row around under the chrysanthemum flowers. The ribbon ends will fall and may be fastened on the table to form the covering of the wig- wam in between the stems. Carve out pumpkins to resemble handle baskets and fill with chrysanthemums or cosmos like baskets. Place these at convenient intervals around the table in a circle around the wigwam. A more elaborate piece might be con- structed as follows: Bank up a mass of sphagnum high in the center of the table. Protect the table with a pan of some kind to keep dampness off the table. Cover the sphagnum bank with ferns or sheet moss to represent a hill. Around the base of the hill set in four or six pans of water. Line the pans vdth gravel or moss and cover the edges with moss. Place a few gold fish in each pan, and fiJl up the spaces between the pans with small ferns or cut flowers in concealed vases. On the edge of the pans in several places lay small birch bark canoes with a few flowers or ferns lying loosely over the sides. One more wiU complete our list: Hang a large basket of flowers and ferns from a tripod as described above. Fill small baskets with flowers to correspond with the center one, and place in front of each place, and connect each small bas- ket with the center by a spray of green or a band of ribbon. In any case extra care should be taken to protect the table and the cover, if a cover is used. After such a table is set, it is a nice job to place the decojra- tions without displacing the silver or soiling the linen. The more dexterous we can become in this respect, the bet- ter it will be for our reputation, for all too often the careless decorator brings the business into disfavor with patrons and caterers by making extra cleaning necessary at the last minute. This is not a case where a "carpenter is known by his chips." Gertrude Blair. CARNATION NOTES.-WEST. Heat, Water and Air. Now that you have your carnation sup- ports in place, the beds all mulched and everything in trim condition, the heaviest part of the season 's work is done. Hence- forth your time and attention will be taken up with the more pleasant but equally important work of keeping the plants in good health, by giving them the right amount of water, air and heat. These three the plants must have and on the amount of one of these the plants get will largely depend the quantity re- quired of the other two. As we can easily regulate the water supply and the ventilation, we must gauge oursleves al- most entirely by the amount of sunlight and sun heat we get, over which we have not the least control. When there is lots of sunlight the plants want plenty of water and plenty of fresh air, but when the sun hides its face the plants 'grow slower, evaporation is slower and less water is needed. Fresh air is always beneficial. As I said before, you cannot control the sunlight; neither can you produce a substitute. True, you can fire up and keep the temperature up to just where the carnation likes it, but it will not have the same effect on the plants as the same amount of heat produced by the sun. Tou can hang strong artificial lights in your houses, but their effect will not be the same as sunlight. Our scientists haVe not as yet been able to produce a substitute for sunlight. When that is accomplished flowers will become cheaper. Out in the open these same things pro- duce the weather, and each must be con- sidered, but inside the greenhouse we regulate the supply of eswh, except the sun, and as we cannot regulate it, we must allow it to regulate us. Bear this in mind later on, when the days are cloudy and your buds refuse to open as rapidly as you would like them to. You can force them out faster by firing a little stronger, but only at the expense of your plants; whereas, the sun will do the same thing for you and improve the plants in health as well. How much more valuable an experi- enced florist would be for a fireman dur- ing these nights, when fire heat is really needed only part of the time. To try to explain all these flner points to a green hand is like showing him a Chinese puz- zle. He has all he can do to run the fire and to remember all the valves, etc., and so you must help him out on the other points. Have some experienced man handy so he can be called upon for advice when necessary, as experi- ence counts for everything when trouble comes, and trouble does put in its ap- pearance occasionally on the best regu- lated places. There will be many nights in the next few weeks when you will have to run steam around and keep the ventilators Z^^i-":-, NOVBMBEB 2, 1905. The Weekly Rorists' Review. J 327 up a little. An experienced man will know how far to go with this. It would be foolish to keep the steam around all night and keep the ventilators up six inches. That would be wasting fuel. Open them about an inch or two and then run the steam around often enough to keep the temperature up to the mark or a little above. On a damp night this will be better than to allow the temper- ature to drop very low. The moisture will not gather in the house as readily and the various leaf-spot diseases will not start so easy. Two or three degrees higher than the regular cold weather temperature will not hurt the plants if there is air on, but don't do it with the ventilators closed. A. F. J. Baur. ENCHANTRESS. In practically all American cut flower markets Enchantress, strictly on its merits, is making better prices than any other carnation which is offered in quantity. Speaking of the cut flower market in London an English writer says: "Enchantress is the lead- ing feature in carnations. This vari- ety is very fine and captures the hif^- est class trade. Some superb blooms are on the market. It has every prom- ise of being the leading carnation for a very long time to come." TROUBLE WITH ENCHANTRESS. I am sending you a bud of Enchantress and would be glad to have you tell me what is the trouble with it. Many of the flowering shoots dry up and many young shoots curl at the end. What can I do to save themt C. D. J. I cannot tell you a great deal about your case; I have not enough to work on. The shoot you sent has a few spots of fairy-ring, but not enough to cause the bud to blast and dry up. The shoot has the appearance of having been out in frosty weather. In such case we have seen buds blast after being housed. Not knowing when your plants were housed, I cannot say whether that is the cause of your trouble or not. I would advise you to remove all the spotted leaves and the stems that have blasted buds on them and burn them. Then dust your plants with a mixture of air-slaked lime and sulphur in equal portions. Also paint a steam pipe with this, after adding enough water to make a thick paint. Leave the dust on the plants several days; in fact, you need not syringe it off at all unless you have to syringe for spider. When you water do it early in the day and wet the foliage as little as possible. Give plenty of air and don't neglect firing on cool nights, even if you have to run a crack of air in order to keep down the temperature. You want to keep the air dry and cir- culating. We have never seen the young shoots on Enchantress curl up, but we have seen it on other varieties, particularly on Mrs. Joost. This usually appears soon after they are housed and have just taken a new hold. The first new shoots will come curled and appear to stick together. This I think is caused by the soil in the new quarters being a great deal richer than that in which they had been growing, causing an abnormal growth. After the plants become thoroughly established this will disappear. Sun them a little on the dry side for a time, to slacken their pace a little. You will also notice this more on late planted stock than on that planted earlier. A sudden activity in growth after a check will bring it on as a rule. A. F. J. Baxje. THE WELLS-PCXXETT SET OF 1904. The criticism that has been given Merstham Yellow, and in some quarters evidently with good reason, leads us to see how other kinds sent out with it are behaving now that they are more gener- ally distributed and are being subjected to the different soils and treatments of •different growers. Chief, perhaps, is Mrs. Wm. Duckham. This variety won the C. 8. A. cup last year and so far this season has made good with every grower whom I have- spoken to. It is as hard as nails and not a petal has damped in a notoriously bad season. This good qualification, com- bined with its fine dwarf habit and ex- cellent stem, is making it a great favor- ite in the east with commercial as well as exhibition growers. Another one that is very satisfactory is Merstham Red. This variety I have seen exhibited several times the past week, with a broad reflexed petal show- ing splendid color, and it can be con- fidently recommended as an all-round good red and is showing up far ahead of last year. Some flowers at Madison, ^'. J., last week had petals considerably over an inch in width. Mrs. H. A. Allen, sent out only as an exhibition variety, is not satisfactory on the whole. Some very fine flowers are liround and the deep color is telling but •t evidently wants a long season of growth and liberal feeding. Mrs. J. A. Miller, a variety Mr. Teil- ^ann speaks of last week as being poor with him, is very fine indeed with me, and some splendid cut blooms have been shown the past week and also on 6-inch pot plants. Miller is grand in foliage, stem and size of flower. The only fault I find with it is its earliness. I exhibit- ed it in splendid condition on October 9, before the New York Florists' Club, and at that early date it was of exhibi- tion size and finish, and much deeper in color than last year. * J. H. Doyle, somewhat on the Miller order for color, is also finishing very fine- ly and I think will be set up in very good shape next week. It is a 'slow grower and has a habit of making buds early in the season instead of growing on nicely, but aside from that, it is a good variety. Other imported varieties largely plant- ed are Valerie Greenham, Emily Mile- ham, Mrs. D. V. West and Mrs. Swin- burne. West has done splendidly and has more than lived up to its past as an exhibition flower. Everyone likes it and it is, perhaps, the largest white we have today. Emily Mileham has not done well. Why I cannot say. Some beauti- ful flowers can be seen in 6-inch pots but early planted stock has not nearly come up to expectations as compared with last year. Too bad, for the color is very pure. Greenham has produced the largest flower I have seen this year and is here to stay. The stock as imported was evidently mixed with another pink, or else it is a case of reversion, since in some lots a percentage of plants made a poor, miserable growth, but Greenham true is a very fine variety. Mrs. Swin- burne as a late white is going to prove a valuable commercial variety. It should be taken on a September bud, as the early crowns are ^1 damped, while the late crown is finishing finely.

The wood should be immersed in water as soon as possible after being taken from the plant to prevent wilting and should not be allowed to stand too long therein before being ' ' made ' ' and put in the bench. Eibes. PREPARING FOR PROPAGATING. As the time for propagating draws near every provision should be made so that there may be no delay at that busy season. Very rarely do we find a ho^j^^e of Brides or Bridesmaids that are nbt more or less of a mixture. Now there is no reason why this should be so, as a little care and attention during the few weeks previous to propagating will effect a remedy and get the young stock true to name. During the season of propagating the chances are that a small percentage of the plants will not be in bloom and this will make it impossible to determine the variety if there is a mixture on the bench, so the safest course is to go over the benches every day and place a promi- nent tag wherever the mixture is ob- served. Were this done season after sea- son there would be less complaints in re- gard to mixed stock. It must be a disappointment to many growers when, after planting a house of young stock, to find when they -begin to show bloom that a large percentage of them are not of the variety ordered. There are, no doubt, some firms who take particular care to put out stock true to ! name, but, unfortunately, there are others. In the selection of suitable wood for propagating purposes great care should be taken to have it of the proper condi- tion of ripeness in order to make a "good strike." The best wood can be A NEW PINK RAMBLER. The demand for rambling roses is so great in these days of pergolas, ar- bors, pillars, and arches of roses that numbers of very fine varieties have been raised and placed on the market to meet it. Among rambling roses, as among all other things, there is ever room for something extra fine, or very distinct, and on these grounds there is room for the new Mrs. F. W. Flight. This is a wonderful rose, says the- Gardeners' Magazine, and so excep- tionally robust that it succeeds in places and under conditions where other varieties make but a poor show. But it is not simply robust in the sense that it produces growths with the vigor of a Crimson Rambler that finds itself at home, and clothed with ample foli- age. It is robust also in that it flow- ers with a freedom not common even among such free-flowering plants as roses. Its big trusses of flowers are particularly large, and well filled with flcAvsers two and one-half inches across, and of a delightful bright rose-pink shade. The flowers are semi-double, and do not fall to pieces quickly, as is the case with those varieties in which the doubling is less advanced. Thirty such flowers on one truss of bloom is of quite common occurrence, that number being seen on the sprays shown , during the summer by Messrs. W. Cutbush & Son,, Highgate, who are the distributors of this highly meritorious novelty. The new rose is a seedling and its parents are Crimson Rambler and The Garland, according to the Gardeners' Magazine, from which we reproduce New Lisfht Pink Ramblinc: Rose, Mrs. F. W. Flight ^t'7W-.-\:-7^ November 2, 1905. The Weekly Florists^ Review* J 329 the accompanying illustration of a truss of flowen?. There is no ques- tion whatever that this is the rambling rose of the year, and it is very prob- able that in a few years it will be as ■widely grown as Crimson Rambler. TEAS OUTDOORS. I have been growing some tea roses Kjutdoors in southern Kansas this sum- mer, equal to any grown in greenhouses, but I want some information as to their care in winter. Can I take them up and store them in a cold frame or cellar through the winter and set them out in the spring?, Ple?ise tell me how to treat them., . , A. T. B. With such a salubrious climate as yours I do not think there will be any neces- sity for lifting the tea roses during the winter, as they can withstand 20 de- grees of frost without injury when they are in a dormant state. However, it might be safest to lift and store a part of them and experiment. They should be thoroughly ripe before being lifted and then heeled in in a pit or cellar where they would not be ex- posed to draughts. The material used for heeling in should be moderately dry, just moist enough to keep the bark on the roots from shriveling. Plant out as soon as danger of frost is past. RiBES. VIOLETS IN DESIGNS. It seems to me that growers of violets who have a good retail trade at home could greatly increase that trade by de- vising new and original combinations in design work for funerals, etc. In spite of what are used at present, still there is a preponderance of roses, carnations and the regulation assortment of stiff set pieces. If you do not readily think of new combinations, keep a sharp eye out for cards of all sorts, Christmas, New Year 's, birthday, etc. ; photographs and, in fact, pictures of many kinds. Artists are plentiful nowadays and you can get many suggestions in this way that can be ap- plied to violets as well as other flowers. Again, if a customer comes in with an idea, don 't scoff or advise something easier, for you may find out to your as- tonishment before you are done that you have not only pleased your customer but received a new idea or so yourself. For example: A lady came into a store one day saying that she had seen at one time one of Prang's chromo cards of a bunch of callas with violet all through and wanted a bunch fixed just like that. When it was finished, with sprays of vio- lets arranged loosely and carried between and around the callas, it made a pleas- ing change from the usual arrangements. This particular, way may be old to some, but it is doubtless new to many, as it was to this florist. I believe you will find it a good plan to try and vary your style of making Ficus Pandurata. pieces from week to week, so as to have them ever different and not have every piece coming from your establishment easily recognizable from their looks, as though they all came out of the same mold. Try lettering a pillow diagonally and filling the lower triangle caused by so doing with violets, using something lighter for the upper corner, again bor- dering the lettering panel with them; sometimes where there is no lettering make it solidly of violets, with a spray of carnations, roses or orchids, with adiantum, tied with ribbon to harmonize, laid over the top. Of course you must be sure to have just the right tint in flower and ribbon or the whole thing is killed. It does seem as if there is not much chance for originality nowadays in design work, yet you can, with study, make con- stant little changes that will give your customers an impression of newness, even if not strictly new. All this is somewhat off the subject of violets, but unless your trade is entirely wholesale it has its bearing on your business, espe- cially on your pocketbook, for of course there is more to be made, in putting out your violets the most of the season in such ways than there is in the • bunch trade, unless you have more wealthy customers than many of us have, and with the winters that we have been having lately you have to sell many a thousand to keep the boilers full of coal, to say nothing about having anything left over at the coming of summer. nCUS PANDURATA. The strong growth and massive foliage of this fine ficus are well shown in the accompanying illustration, which gives some idea of the decorative value of this comparatively new species. As indicated by the specific name, the leaves of this plant have some resemblance in outline to the body of a fiddle, and one of the strong features of the plant is found in the tough texture of its foliage, from which it has proved to be an excellent house plant, enduring dust and draughts with almost as much impunity as an aspi- distra. Tops of this ficus may be mossed and rooted just as readily as those of the common FiCus elastica, and when rooted will flourish under the same conditions as its better known relative, but the cut back plants do not break away quite so freely, and consequently the propagation of Ficus pandurata is somewhat slower than that of the ordinary rubber. This is a plant that occupies a good deal of space, and consequently must bring a good price to the grower, but there are some of the prominent retail dealers who see its possibilities and are willing to pay the price for good speci- mens.

I have tried lime, tobacco and washing, but they quickly come again. What will clean them outf C. W. W. Mealy bugs may be killed on the plants in question by frequent fumi- gations with Nico-fume paper, this be- ing a nicotine preph ration, and is much more effective than fumigating with tobacco, without the danger of scorching the plants. From twelve to fourteen pieces of the prepared paper may be used in a greenhouse 20x100 feet without injury to ferns, and if the foliage of the plants is wet at the time the smoking is done the operation will be more successful than xf the house is dry. But one smoking will not kill *11 the insects, and it may have to be repeated several times. The liquid so- lutions .of nicotine are also effective for this pest, but are somewhat more costly. W. H. Taplin. VINCA MINOR. Last spring I planted some myrtle, sample enclosed, on a cemetery lot. The parties wish me to protect it for the win- ter. What is the best way to do it! We have very cold weather, 10 to 20 de- grees below zero. F. H. P. The best protection for the vinca, or creeping myrtle, as it is commonly called, is to cover the plants ere severe freez- ing weather, vrith a coating of leaves. Some spruce boughs or light boards can be laid over these to keep them from blowing away, or if the space to be cov- ered is not large, make a box covering of matched boards to put over the leaves. Give this a coat of green paint. It will look neat and last for a number of years. English ivy can be treated simi- Ja'ly- W. N. Craig. V^etable Forcing. VEGETABLE MARKETS.

There is no one in this vicinity growing vegetables under glaas and there is a good opportunity to make money in this line. I intend planting one house with lettuce. As I do not know anything of its culture I should be glad to have you give some infor- mation as to the night temperature, how far apart the plants should be set and how long it takes to grow a crop. E.8. The night temperature of a lettuce house should range from 40 to 45 de- grees, according to the outdoor condi- tions. By this I mean that under the milder conditions of weather 45 degrees would be about right, but in severe weather it is better to run the house at 40 degrees rather than cause too dry an atmosphere. Lettuce is much more easily grown in solid beds than in raised benches, or, better still, right in the ground when this is composed of good soil. Here they have the advan- tage of natural moisture from below and can be kept in a healthy condition with less frequent watering. The less frequent application of water to the surface of the soil eliminates to a con- siderable degree the danger from fun- gous diseases. The distance apart will depend on the variety grown. The Boston Market or Tennis Ball type can be planted about eight inches apart, but larger growers would require a little more space. The type above mentioned, however, is generally conceded to be the most satisfactory to grow for a greenhouse crop where a head lettuce is wanted. The best and easiest grown variety is Grand Bapids, but as this does not head it is not so easily dis- posed of. Personally I would prefer it to any other for table use, as it is in- variably crisp, tender and sweet. But the majority of lettuce buyers, at least in the east, prefer a head lettuce, and it is hard to drive them out of the old rut. In pushing anything else they are apt to think you are playing the "just as good" joke on them. From ten to twelve weeks is neces- sary for the maturing of the crop from time of sowing. The gain in time can be principally effected in the growing of the plants up to the time they are large enough to set -in the benches. Given ideal conditions, with good, fresh seed that will start quickly and strong, cutting may begin with some of the largest in ten weeks from time of sowing, but a week more should be al- lowed for the maturing of the majority of the crop, and if any little setback should occur a week longer still will be necessary. W. S. Croydon. A POOR COMBINATION. This year I threw out my violets at Memorial day and planted tomatoes, with the result of a good crop. I should like to put in one bed of toma- toes in March and fill the other beds with stocks and candytuft for Memo- rial day. Do you think the tomatoes would bo a success with the flowers mentioned if I hand-fertilize the to- matoes t E. S. B. I do not think stocks, candytuft and tomatoes would be a very desirable combination. There is no reason why the tomatoes would not do in such company as long as the proper temper- ature can be maintained, but I would not vouch for satisfactory results if the temperature was run much below 65 degrees. This, in my opinion, is about 10 degrees too high for the stocks and candytuft. With some things you might be able to strike an intermediate condition, but I don't think the tomatoes would stand for it, and I am afraid a temperature of 65 degrees would so weaken the growth of the stocks and candytuft that you would have poor results with your flowers. W. S. Croydon. GRAPES UNDER GLASS. I should be glad to have advice as to what can be done to get good color in Black Hamburg gtapes grown in the greenhouse. Some of the bunches have grapes of a good color and some only look red. They are all on the same side of the house and in the same soil. The vines are in first-class order and have from twenty to thirty pounds of fruit on each. The plants are forty years old. J. B. A. This is one of the cases where it is hard for the doctor to prescribe with- out seeing the patient, so many differ- ent conditions tend to prevent the proper coloring of grapes: wrong at- mospheric conditions, temperature, lack of moisture at the roots, an overabun- dance of moisture, lack of proper drainage, overcropping and a hundred and one other things would produce the condition described. But seeing that the vines are forty years old and grown under artificial conditions, I have no doubt that the trouble lies with the roots, and if the vines were mine I would not hesitate a moment in throw- ing them out, renewing my soil and replanting with young vines. You seem to think your vines are in good condition. It is surprising how fresh and healthy a vine will look as far as growth and foliage are concerned with the roots in an unhealthy condition, but it will always tell on the fruit. I took hold of an old grapery a few years ago in which much the same conditions prevailed as you describe, and in turn- ing it out I was astonished to see the state of the roots. The soil, through constant watering and the annual add- ing of manure, together with the want of the sweetening influence of frost, had got into a very bad state; the roots were in a black, half-dead condi- tion, and it was really surprising where the vines got the support to keep them in as healthy condition as they were. If you do not want to go to the trou- ble of renewing, you may be able to help them a good deal by taking away about six inches of the surface soil and replacing it with fresh material. In this way you may be able to draw some roots to the surface, where they will maintain a more healthy condition and where feeding can be accomplished with better effect. Don't use too strong a compost until you get your roots working. After this use wood ashes freely to supply potash, which is one of the most necessary ingredients in the production of good fruit. W.

When the Society of American Flo- rists met in Cleveland, in 1896, under the presidency of William Scott, of Buffalo, the members cast about for Ohio's leading member as his successor. The call naturally fell to Adam Gra- ham, who was one of the charter mem- bers and a veteran of the craft.. There are few more popular members than Mr. Graham, His presence is looked for at each annual gathering, and, al- though no longer in so vigorous health as in the days when he did his greatest work for floriculture, still he is count- ed a regular attendant and none en- joys the renewal of old acquaintances more than he. Adam Graham was bom at Dun- fermline, Scotland, in 1840. His par- ents emigrated to America in 1850, lo- cating at Philadelphia. Mr. Graham's first employment in the trade was at Peter McKenzie's establishment under Alexander Craig, the father of Robert Craig. After spending several years there Mr. Graham went to Dr. Bush's place, where fortune made him assist- ant to James Eadie. After three years there he took charge of Gen. Patter- son's establishment where he remained for another three years, relinquish- ing the position to go toi, Cleveland to lay out a property for J. H. Wade, one of Cleveland's leading citizens, with whom he remained for seventeen years. When he left it was to go into business for himself. This was twenty- five years ago. Being a thorough plantsman and possessing the Scottish predilection for a square deal, he soon established a prosperous business. A number of years ago he admitted his son, A. H. Graham, to partnership and the firm has since been known as A. Graham & Son. They have a hand- some store at 1263 Euclid avenue, the greenhouses being on the site, opposite Lake View cemetery, which Mr. Graham chose for his first venture a quarter of a century ago. Besides being an ex-president and active worker in the S. A. F., Mr. Gra- ham has been president of the local Florists' Club and president and for several years -treasurer of the local branch of the St. Andrew's Scottish Benevolent Association. Aside from his many business connections as a florist, Mr. Graham has for some years been vice-president of the Reserve Trust Co., a rich and well known local banking establishment in which he holds a considerable interest and of which he has just been elected presi- dent. He is also vice-president of the Adams Bag Co., a prosperous paper bag factory in Cleveland. NEWPORT. R. L End of the Season. Newport's season is a short one — that is the weeks when the full swing is on, and society's fashionable entertainments are at their height — it is the fourth of July when they all get here, and after the horse show, which always opens Labor day, the summer places close rapidly for the winter. Of course a great many of the cottagers come much earlier, and many estates are opep until Thanksgiv- ing, but the season's gayety is at its best through the hot days of July and August. This is our harvest time, and every effort is made the rest of the year Adam Graham. to have plenty of stock ready for the "Avenue" people. Besides our own florists there are four New York firms that have branch estab- lishments here for these summer months, namely, Leikens, Siebrecht & Son, Wadley & Smythe, and J. M. Hodgson, Inc. But in a good season there is business enough for all, as when Newport is entertain- ing an enormous amount of stock and much expert labor is required in a very short time. The season just past has been fairly good, but it has now been several years since we have had a real boom summer. At the end of the summer season there is always a dull time before the regular all-the-year-round fall and win- ter trade starts in. We have been hav- ing such gorgeous weather for the past month that, except for the usual wed- ding and funeral orders, there has been very little doing, especially as we have had no frost to do any harm as yet, which still leaves every one with plenty of garden blooms and reduces the florists' cut flower trade to small limits. A good hard frost, which may be ex- pected any day now, will change all this and mak« the craft again happy. Violets and chrysanthemums have ap- peared and they always freshen up things and start up the cut flower busi- ness for the autumn. We try to get $1.50 and $2 per hundred for Marie Louise and Princess of Wales violets, putting them up in bunches of all sizes. Mums start at $1 a dozen and go to $5 for the very best. Of course, at present we have only a few early sorts. Roses fetch from $1.50 a dozen to $6 for the very choicest long-stemmed American Beauty that the craft get from Carl Jurgens. Carnations are now com- ing better both in size of flower and length of stem and bring 60 cents to $1 a dozen. Dahlias are about the only outdoor stuff there is now any demand for, and these are such a flood that 50 cents a dozen is the limit. We noticed a little very nice mignonette. Horticultural Society. The meetings of our society have late- ly been better attended, as through the summer months our members are so busy that it is almost impossible to get to- gether a large gathering. As winter draws near it is always planned to have some subject of interest discussed at each meeting. Joseph Gibson has been asked to prepare a paper for the next meeting on "Landscape Art, Past and Present. ' ' Since our last regular exhibition some very worthy exhibits have been made. John Marshall, the manager of the Bythesea Greenhouses, exhibited several very promising seedling carnations; the committee requested Mr. Marshall to ex- hibit these again later in the season, when an award will be made. A very interesting exhibit was made by David Mcintosh, consisting of some branches of cockspur hawthorn, Crataegus Crus- galli. This hawthorn at this season of the year makes a flne show, being cov- ered with large and brilliant red ber- ries. Its long thorns and bushy growth adapt it well for hedging. The following persons have been re- cently chosen to active membership : Miss M. C. Codman, Mrs. Hamilton Fish Webster, Frank L. Peckham, Mr. and Mrs. De Lancey Kane, and James Sharkey. Various Notes. F. L. Zeigler has for several weeks ■.I^IW^TK. 1332 The Weekly Florists^ Review* NOVBMBBB 2, 1905. ") been making an exhibit of some fifty sorts of dahlias in his show windows, which has attracted much attention, and resulted in many orders. C. Peirce, of Dighton, Mass., has also had a collection of cactus, show and fancy dahlias on exhibition at Barney's music store, booking many orders for 1906. The commercial fruit growing business of Charles Stark, Jr., who for many years has leased the greenhouses of the William Findlay estate and raised nec- tarines, grapes, peaches, melons and to- matoes, has been given up. Mr. Stark has gone to California. Siebrecht & Son, after a very satisfac- tory season, have closed their Bellfevue avenue establishment for the winter. Ralph Armstrong, their manager, rejfforts a fine business in renting large Bays, palms and other foliage plants; in fact, they placed for the season all they brought from their New Eochelle nurser- ies. Their increasing business demands many store improvements for the sum- mer of 1906, among which will be a much larger ice-box and a new concrete floor. Outdoor-grown melons have blighted 80 badly for several years in this sec- tion that many growers have given up trying to raise them. It is pleasing to note that Ritchie's Greenhouses have suc- ■ceeded in ripening a nice lot, including Miller's Cream, Emerald Gem, Extra Early, Hackensack and Improved Christi- ana. The seedsmen are all having their fall sales of plants. Palms, rubber plants, ferns and a few other kinds sell very well at this season and help out t^e bulb trade. The small plants go the best, 50 cents to $1 being about the limit. Quite a run on the new Scott fern is the florists' report. H. L.

Sunday was just a trifle weaker than Saturday be- cause there was a limit on what the southern All Saints' day shipping or- ders would stand. Monday was still weaker in spite of short supplies, because of decreasing demand and Tuesday and Wednesday saw the market returning to the conditions which prevailed prior to the recent flurry. The horse show week was certainly one of the most active this market has ever seen at this season, with supplies not large and entirely inade- quate to the demand. Where orders were filled in full it was only at the expense of rejecting others entirely. There was no limit to prices except the limit at which the buyers could no longer use the stock. All Saints' day shipments went out on Sunday. These were as large as ever, if not a little larger. The bulk of the business went out on the 6 o'clock train on Sunday night and made a full car-load of cut flowers. Some stock -went Saturday night and a second shipment Monday, so that the business <5ut a large figure. There was the. op- portunity to have done a great deal more had the stock been available and prices where the buyers could have used quanti- ties. There was hardly an item on which it was possible to supply all needs, chrysanthemums being more nearly equal to the demand than anything else. White loses were very hard to get and white carnations have seldom brought higher • prices for the lower grades. The present week began with cold, a^rk, dismal weather and has had the etfecl of retarding production. Growers report that there is little immediate pros- pect of large increase in the carnation cuts but that roses are well under way with new crops, which are already affect- ing the mal-Jet. Chrysanthemums have not yet become over-abundant, although each week it has appeared that the next one would see an inundation. It still ap- pears so. The mid-season varieties are cow coming in and some fine flowers are seen. Top prices are $3 to $4 a dozen, and all grades are bringing exceptionally good prices, especially the small flowers. Since the horse show the demand for violets has fallen away. There is now. plenty of lily of the valley. Callas are frequently seen and Harrisii lilies are no longer so scarce as they have been for the past month. Cattleyas are equal to all demands. A number of growers are pretty well cut out on smilax and an advance in price is neted. Plumosus in bunches is also shortening in supply. The Million Dollar Show. All. over town there are signs an- nouncing the "million dollar flower show ' ' of next week. It will be a big affair. . Plenty of exhibits are assured and new features will be numerous, in- cluding exhibits of good back yard planting, window boxes, popular lectures, restaurant, etc. The list of committees is a long one and includes many who have not been active before. Many new premiums are announced in the supple- mentary list just out. Visiting florists will be cared for by the following committee: J. P. Degnan, care of E. F. Winterson Co., 45 Wabash; John Poehlmann, care Pohlmann Bros. Co., 35 Randolph; E. C. Amling, 32 Ran- dolph; C. W. Scott, care Vaughan's Seed Store, 84 Randolph ; Arnold Ringier, care W, W. Barnard Co., 163 Kinzie; John Zech, care Zech & Mann, 51 Wabash; C. W. McKellar, 51 Wabash; James Harts- l.orne, Joliet, 111., or 45 Wabash; A. C, Spencer, care Peter Reinberg, 51 Wa- bash; C. L. Washburn, care Bassett & Washburn, 78 Wabash, The committee wishes it stated that if trade visitors will call on any of the above before going tc the show they will be fixed up with tickets. A banquet is planned, probably for Thursday night. Various Notes. The wholesalers are almost unanimous in deploring the recent flurry in prices, several saying that they believe the in- jury done the market, could it be measured in dollars, would far exceed the gain. When, as happened, the price of carnations is doubled between two issues of the Review it is sure to cause many complaints from surprised and uncompre- hending buyers. Then, too, there is al- ways a point above which it is folly to go, for buying stops. Last Friday any really good carnation was worth 3 cents but on Saturday, when 4 cents was de- manded, several houses found that they had gone too • far > the buyers simply turned away. Then, too, the effect is bad in the retail end. A customer goes into a retail store and finds that carna- tions which a week ago were 50 cents a dozen are now, without apparent reason, 75 cents or $1; he not only doesn't buy but it is probably several weeks, perhaps months, before he again vantur^ into a flower store. ^"'^^^v When G. H. Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros, -do., was at Rhinebeck, N. Y., the other Saturday night, he held an im- promptu levee at the hotel. It was reg- istration day and, as word of his pres- ence Avas passed around, by twos and threes the growers dropped in to pay their respects and learn about the west- ern violet market. Mr. Pieser was the second Chicago wholesaler to visit the Hudson river violet district, W. E. Lynch, of Hunt's, having preceded him a year. The violet growers must at least have gained the idea that Chicago whole- salers are well fed. Among the growers who will add ex- tensively to their glass next spring is J. A, Budlong. The eight remaining old bouses will bo taken down and replaced by new structures and all the remaining vacant ground in their block will be built up, there being room for seven new houses, the dwelling of Mr. Budlong and Phil Shoup being moved across the street to clear the square for glass. John Schoepfle had a fine decoration at the Masonic Temple October 26, for Waubansia! Lodge, A. F. and A. M. It called for cut flowers, plants, etc., in quantity and the effect was notable. Carl Thomas, of the A. L, Randall Co., is doing a two weeks' term of jury ser- vice. N. J. Wietor says that if nothing hap- pens to a certain batch of Yellow Ejiton in the next four days he will show the visitors to the Coliseum what that va- riety is like at its best. He also has Balfour fine. Wietor Bros, will stage 500 mums. E. F. Francis, formerly with D. Wood Brant, is now with Vaughan & Sperry, where increasing receipts make work for more hands to do. The Errst Wienhoeber Co. has dis- tributed its engagement book for the so- cial season of 1905-6. The work is of the best character and the advertising value, placed in right hands, is so great that the book is an annual feature. Bassett & Washburn are cutting very fine Appleton and Morel chrysanthe- mums. Mrs. R. Hilmers, 190 E. Forty-seventh street, writes from 34 A II Schiller strasse, Charlottenburg, near Berlin, of the success with which her little daughter in meeting in her musical career. Leonard Kill and N. J. Wietor will go to the Kansas City show with ex- hibits. The Moninger Co. is tearing down itfr old office building preparatory to putting up a new two-story structure which will give them much needed room. The George Wittbold Co. has recently leceivcrl a large importation of bay trees, azaleas, rhododendrons and other stock. Bettsville, O. — ^M. W. Walters has added a house 11x65, making 7,000 feet of glass in all.

The Market Perfect weather these days in New York. The brave old oak has been yield- ing his branches profusely and every re- tail window is aglow with autumn foli- age., A beautiful background it makes for the great white and yellow and pink chrysanthemums which now are in their glory, making every florist's window an exhibition that appeals to every eye. Never have the mums seemed so per- fect and enough of them to keep the prices reasonable. Few even of the novelties command over $25 a hundred. Now and then something especially large and beautiful has been brave enough to demand $6 a dozen, they say, and get it, but 25 cents apiece may be fairly called high tide, and from that on down to $1 a hundred. Orchids and violets complete the win- dow displays. Roses and carnations are content to wait. Their day is now close at hand. Violets have actually surprised themselves. A few weeks ago it was a ten to one shot they would not go over 60 »ents a hundred before Thanksgiving. Now good ones command $1 a hundred and I have heard of a few specials bring- ing $1.25. It is the unexpected that happens. You cannot keep a good thing down. The west has had its influence in the recovery. There can be no dis- puting that, and so after all maybe those Ehinebeckers builded wiser than we knew. Orchids have become a standard deco- ration. The cattleya rules king of them all, but many other varieties are grow- ing in popularity and the local demand, I predict, will exceed the supply before the year ends. Nevertheless, the shipping demand grows. All the large cities seem to depend upon the New York market and seldom is a disappointment recorded. Anderson, in Buflfalo, told me last week of a big demand for cattleyas that came suddenly a while ago, which made ship- ment within an hour imperative, and a telephone to McManus brought the goods on time and in perfect condition. Wal- lace Bumham. of Bloomingdale 's, an- nounces an all-week orchid show at his Wild Smilax Wc arc headquarters. A large quantity car- ried on hand so we can at all tinles fill orders without delay.

Some exceptionally fine blooms of Bride and Maid have touched higher prices than the average quotation of $6 per hundred. Beauties have risen to $30 per hundred for the finest, this grade, how- ever, being extra select. Carnations improve daily. Novelties are coming fast. Craig and Victory are grand. The whole market may be summed up as healthy, cheerful, encour- aging and in consequence there(>f a buoy- ant, hopeful condition inspires all branches of the trade. The Violet Train. Speaking of violets, a very interesting sight is the daily distribution of the boxes and their arrival at the Grand Cen- tral on the 3:33 train in the afternoon. A few boxes arrive at 8 a. m. and an- other lot at 10:40, but these amount to nothing when compared with the big re- ceipts in the afternoon. Twenty or thirty wholesalers are represented and two or three clerks from each are on hand ready for the fray. When the violet train steams in and McManus, the veteran ex- pressman for thirty years, gets busy, all is rush and excitement. Not so many years ago Jack Qunther was the only "early bird." Gradually the numbers increased until now there is no limit to the crowd save the supply. Five to ten boxes is the average for each at this season. Soon ten to twenty will be re- ceived. One thousand to 2,500 violets are in each box. Count the total daily; a million and a half I It is hard to realize it. These "waiters" secure as quickly as they can one to three boxes out of their shipments and start the round of the retailers, displaying, sell- ing, supplying their regular customers, vieing with each other in the rapiuity of their hustling and intensifying the competition as the season advances. So keen is the fight for a share in the busi- " T^x.j;'^ liange without notice. M<-iitlon The Review when you write. WE CARRY THE MOST COMPLETE LINE OF FLORISTS* SUPPLIES IN THE WEST.

Ex- President Breitmeyer's wireless message announced his coming Sunday, and here he is. The big show at Macy's prom- ises heavily. Everybody is coming to see it. All the flower shows around New York are breaking records. Down at Madison last Friday I saw one of the most per- fect exhibitions ever set up. C. H. Totty had many of his new varieties on ex- hibition, some of which must prove uni- versally popular. His Kichmond roses were the best we have seen in the east. He has the largest stock of any of the growers in this section. Joseph Fenrich handles the New York shipments from Mr. Totty 's greenhouses. Wm. G. Badgeley, one of A. J. Guttman's ship- pers, secured first prize for his Maids, an honor the young gentleman may well be proud of. Harry May and Miss May, of Summit, were among the visitors and with them were Joseph HUl and his bride, of Rich- mond, Ind., son of Gurney HiU and a chip off the old block for geniality and energy. Chas. W. See, bookkeeper for a decade with Siebrecht & Son, with his brother, were owners of the "Tom Paine" farm near New Bochelle until last week, when a syndicate bought the 115 acres for $140,000. Mr. See will retain the old homestead. Wertheimber & Co., the importers of Japanese goods for florists, have some fine novelties this year^ Christmas bells being a specialty. The Florists' Board of Trade grows in popularity. Gradually names are added in their quarterly issues, until now the book has quadrupled in size. The management appears well pleased with the progress made. SchloBS Bros, have some great novel- ties in red and green rfbbons for Christ- mas. They are the originators of numerous novelties that have appealed to the artistic florists of the country. Their trade is growing constantly. McMillan & Son, of Hudson Heights, N. J., are shipping an average of 2,000 Ivory, pink and white, daily to the New York market, splendid stock which Ford Bros, find no difficulty in distributing. It is hard to find a more generally popu- lar variety, even now, than the old Ivory that has held its place for half a score of years. Chas. Schenck, of Traendly & Schenck, discovered a thief in the store one night last week and chased him down the street and into the arms of Bob Cum- • mings, the robust actor. The thief proved to be a former employee who had retained a key and was going through the place each Saturday night. He was let off with a night in the cooler. The surplus is now growing again. Robert Craig was in town last week, growing young again. That innovation of a flower store on the big steamship Amerika bids fair to have a following, and doubtless before long every large steamer will be consid- ered old fashioned without this con- venience. Hardy roses, evergreens and other nur- sery importations are appearing at the auction rooms and good crowds and prices encourage the sweet-voiced per- suaders in their strenuous work. H. H. Berger & Co. report by far the best season in their history. They are still very busy. The prospect for Japan- ese stock next year is higher prices. The exhibition of the New Jersey Floricultural Society took place Monday and Tuesday of this week and was a fine success. Mr. Bennett, the secretary of the society, was married a week ago to Miss Maud Williams. November 13, the New York club will hold its November meeting at the Grand Opera House and as this is chrysanthe- mum night and the last fioricultural night of the year's exhibitions. Presi- dent Traendly requests the club members to turn out 200 strong. The caterer will "cate" more elaborately than usual and the official guidance for 1906 will be de- termined. J.

The quantity of chrysanthemums coming in is larger than a week ago, but most of them are sold at fair prices. Some go on the street, but that does not always mean that the prices are low, the street- men having paid as high as $15 a hun- dred last Saturday for good flowers. The early sorts are practically over, the mid-season varieties being now at their best. Of these the Leo Niessen Co. re- port Col. Appleton and Halliday as the best yellows, Mrs. Coombes, White Baiz- ley, of which they control the stock com- ing into this market, Ivory and Edith Bryan as the best whites, while Pink Baizley and William Duckham are the leading pinks. This will give a fair idea of the varieties, with the addition of Miss Alice Byron, seen at W. J. Baker's. Among the other varieties noted in the market are Col. Bonnaffon, which is now very fine, Eaton and Yel- low Eaton. Carnations are quite scarce, the prices slightly advancing. Eoses have also advanced a little in price, es- pecially the choice grades selected for out-of-town shipping orders. Beauties be- ing in particularly heavy demand. Val- ley is plentiful and only in fair demand. Violets are in demand. Orchids have sold well; quite a large number are com- ing in. Gardenias are quite scarce and the price is advancing. White snap- dragon is now to be had, the Flower Market an3 Cut Flower Co. having some especially choice stock. The outdoor flowers are entirely over, excepting cos- mos, which is still coming in limited quantities. The outlook for a good month appears excellent. The Sien of the Rose. Charles H.

Anyone might sup- pose he was in a parlor of a person of means, whose taste ran more toward plants and flowers than toward paint- ings or bric-a-brac. The door is an ex- act imitation of the Old English style. The windows are high and with small panes, such as we are accustomed to seeing in paintings of a hundred years ago. The candelabra is finished in cop- per. The open fireplace would delight the heart of any true Briton. Here we have the special gem of the room, for the mantelpiece is made of the first limb cut from the famous Lippincott tree, taken down last spring, over which all Phila- delphia mourned, while the logs in the hearth are from the same historic source. Back of the pretty shop is Mr. Fox's demonstrating room, where he can take a customer who wishes to see just how her table or vase would look when ar- ranged in a certain way. Behind this room, but not connected with;, it, is the workshop, where all the making-up is done. Ajid in the passageway leading thereto the boxes, paper, string and other necessities have their alloted places. A winding stairway leads to the conserva- tory above. It is about twenty-five feet square, arranged with water-proof floor, very light and effective. From this con- servatory opens Mr. Fox's special sanc- tum, where he can design his most elab- orate decorations undisturbed. This room is laijge and comfortably furnished, and may also be used for the bookkeep- ing department, which is cjirefuUy ex- cluded from the shop below. In fact, the effort to keep out commercialism has gone so far that even the cash register is encased in a wooden cover. The im- pression created by this new venture is that we have among us another artist aiming to advance the standard of our calling. Strafiord. Seventy-five members of the Florists " Club accepted the invitation of Edwaril A. Stroud to visit his greenhouses at Strafford on Thursday of last week. Tho place was in perfect condition, the plants being clean, healthy and full of vigor, with not a weed or trace of disease to be seen. The readers of the Review know that Mr. Stroud 's place was buUt a little over two years ago, by Hitchings & Co., and that his houses, four in number, are all that modem ingenuity can devise. That these houses are light, airy and durabl<' can be seen at a glance. Three of them each about 25x350, are planted with car nations, the varieties being carefully se lected. Of the whites, May Naylor is evi dently the leader, making a very fine ap pearance. Lady Bountiful seems a good variety, with wiry stems, holding the me dium flowers erect. Lieut.

Of the reds, Flamingo, scarlet, is the best, its only drawback being a slight crook in some of the flowers, just at the top of the stem. G. H. Crane is not nearly so good. Harry Fenn seems the best scar- let. It is in splendid shape, but Mr. Stroud is evidently cutting down on this color. A little space is devoted to Car- dinal, which is very pretty, but the flow- ers are not yet at their best, nor are the stems very strong. Of the pinks. En- chantress is far and away the best, the plants being larger this season than last.

Mrs. Lawson is not so good as last year, although still largely planted and look- ing well. Genevieve Lord is very fine. Of the blush varieties Mrs. ^M. A. Patten is in magnificent shape and should prove very profitable. Judge Hinsdale, varie- gated, looked well. Prosperity was very late; the flowers are not coloring well. Gov. Bliss, Ethel Ward and one or two other varieties are also grown. The chrysanthemum house was a sight. Oinna, an early yellow. Col. Appleton, Yellow and White Chadwick, and Yel- low Eaton were the varieties. After strolling through the green- houses, a cricket match was played on carefully prepared wickets nearby. Philadelphia was defeated by Montgom- ery \>j the close score of 35 to 32. Then came a handsome collation, followed by an address of welcome by Mr. Stroud and some songs by Mr. Dumont.

It is planted with carnations, which are in very fine condition, and vio- lets. The varieties of the former are Enchantress, Prosperity, Queen, Joost, May Naylor and Harry Fenn.

There is, of course, no chance for any upward bound with so many chrysanthemums arriving, but prices on some staples have hardened a little. Chrysanthemums sell from $4 to $12, more at the former price than at the latter. Some very good Miss Alice Byron, Bonnaffon, Duckhtun, Dr. Engue- hard, Merza and other varieties are seen. Beauty and Liberty roses remain about the same, but the better grades of Brides and Maids are selling higher. Carnations fetch from $2 to $3, a few selling lower and fancies a little higher. Violets are coming of improved quality. Some of the best realize 75 cents, ordinary stock 40 to 50 cents. Callas come from one or two growers and realize 12% cents each. Some Paper White narcissi and stevia are seen, but are not in much request. Floriste' Qub Field Day. The outing to the Waban Eose Con- servatories on October 28 was a decided success. Weather conditions were ideal and about sixty members attended. An inspection of the extensive blocks of rose houses was first in order and, as usual, everything was found in as near perfect condition as possible. The big Beauty house, 40x700, was in grand order and will produce a big Christmas crop. This house contains six beds and 13,000 plants. Brides and Maids filled quite a number of houses and were carrying grand crops of flowers. Quite a number of Morgan and Mrs. Oliver Ames are grown on front benches, each producing large quantities of flowers. Liberty looked extremely well and so did a batch of 1,500 Richmond. This lat- ter was closely scrutinized, as seen here it appeared to be an unusually good grower and was flowering with great free- dom, producing strong shoots which should give very fine flowers later. Many of the visitors considered it better than Liberty and perhaps another year, with good home-propegated plants, it may eclipse that fine variety. We would not venture a definite opinion so early in the season. The greatest interest cent- ered in the houses of Wellesley, of which 10,000 plants are being grown this sea- son. These look splendid and show won- derful vigor and freedom of bloom. Mme. Abel Chatenay and La Detroit grown on a part of one bench for com- parison were entirely outclassed. Well- esley is increasing in popular favor in the Boston market, and many other New England cities experience an increasing call for it. A house of Ejllarney was doing finely. This has not been grown here before but promises to be a very profitable one. A striking contrast was presented by two rows of plants on own roots. These were greatly inferior to the grafted stock. Excepting the Beauties and one lot of Wellesley, all roses at Natick are graft- ed and very few raised benches are now seen. Other roses of great merit are likely to emanate from here in the fu- ture, for many excellent seedlings were noted in bloom. Chrysanthemums, which used to be a star feature here, have now been dropped entirely. The decline in demand as also in prices for specimen blooms are causes for this. Inspections of the model heating plant, offices, etc., having been made, an ad- journment was made to the roomy pack- ing shed, where a staff of young ladies served a bountiful collation. President Wheeler called on a number of members for short speeches. Among those who re- sponded were: E. O. Orpet, T. H. West- wood, M. A. Patten, J. W. Duncan, Hen- ry Wild, W. N. Craig and others. A vote of thanks to Mr. Montgomery and his able son was enthusiastically carried. Mr. Montgomery, in responding, ex- pressed the great pleasure it gave them to have the club with them. Three cheers and a tiger for the generous hosts brought to a close one of the most de- lightful field days the club has yet held. Flower Market Banquet. The stallholders and stockholders of the Boston Co-operative Flower Growers' Association, with a few invited guests, enjoyed their annual banquet at Young's Hotel on Saturday evening, October 28. About seventy-five gentlemen were pres- ent. After the very excellent menu had been disposed of, W. C. Stickel took charge of the post-prandial exercises. He first called on W. H. Elliott, whom he introduced as the dean of the market cor- poration. Mr. Elliott spoke entertain- ingly of Porto Rico, life insurance and the work the Park street market was ac- complishing. W. J. Stewart spoke for the press and F. R. Mathieson for the retired florists. Allen Peirce was intro- duced as the dean of baby culture but declined to discuss so delicate a question. Wm. R. Nicholson, who just returned from his honeymoon, also felt a natural feeling of hesitancy and was excused. Addresses were made by J. W .Duncan, W. N. Craig, Andrew Christiansen, H. A. Stevens, H. S. Parker, H. L. Cameron, H. M. Robinson and Elijah A. Wood, the latter making an excellent comparison of flower sellers twenty-eight years ago and today. Alexander Montgomery was called upon to speak for the American Rose So- ciety. He said he was glad to announce that they had secured a large number of valuable cups, shields, vases and other prizes for the show to be held in Bos- ton next March and predicted that it 7?^.*TffT?i?' ;r,^^in»;5»jrj-^f '^, vy *"^". ■* if^ >> ' * 'i.

Frost at last. Mums feel the effect of it. Business is picking up all along the line. Chas. Schramm has entirely recovered from his recent illness. J. Gratopp celebrated his fiftieth birthday in a fitting manner on Octo- ber 28. John Barrow, who plants his carna- tions in solid beds and then afterwards builds the houses over them, complains of grub and cut worms eating the roots and killing the plants. E. A. K. would eclipse anything of the kind ever seen in America. Peter Fisher respond- ed for the American Carnation Society and gave the reasons why an amalgama- tion with the rose society could not be arranged. He urged all carnation grow- ers to send at least one vase of flowers and help make a show which would re- dound to Boston's credit. The election of officers of the corpora- tion took place at the close of the speech making. Vaiiotts Notes. Duncan Finiayson's uncle, George Mc- Rae, of New Zealand, was an interested visitor with the club at Waban Conserva- tories on October 28. This is his first visit after forty years' absence. He re- turns to that far off land of beauty and sunshine in a few days. Speaking of violets, he states that every house has a bed of them and that New Zealanders are great flower lovers. Peirce Bros, have a large house of As- paragus Sprengeri at their big Wellesley plant, which is the finest in the section. Joshua C. Stone, who died at East Watertown on October 22, aged 76 years, was a familiar figure for many years at the Boston shows. His death creates a vacancy on the vegetable committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, on which he had served faithfully for many years. Mrs. William Nicholson, of Framing- ham, received painful injuries on October 20 from falling down two flights of stairs. We are glad she is now somewhat improved. McMulkin had a very pretty pink win- dow the past week. Lorraine begonias, carnations, chrysanthemums, cattleyas, roses and bouvardia were included. H. M. Robinson & Co. are now handl- ing some big consignments of southern smilax and other green stock. Henry Wild, of Greenwich, Conn., was in town this week, purchasing stock for the large estate of which he has charge. His numerous friends were pleased to see him. Charles Sander, at Prof. C. S. Sar- gent's estate in Brookline, has a grand collection of hybrid nerines now in bloom. Some of Elwes' varieties are es- CHARCOAL SCREENINGS. Since the Germans have introduced the hard wood, kiln-burned charcoal in this country, the grocery trade has made a market for kindlings in paper bags and the screenings, as a by-product, have been used to advantage by florists, espe- cially those who have old beds that it is not convenient to refill each year, They find that a very little of the charcoal will keep away mold and, the soil being sweet, produces well. Among the violet ''' growers it is thought by some that it adds color or deepens it. Very good recommendations have also been given by Hamburg grape raisers who use it in- stead of wood ashes and as it is cheaper they find it very effective. E. V. Sidell, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., reports that the growers and gardeners in that neighbor- hood are using large quantities of these charcoal screenings. DAISIES. I have a lot of yellow daisies, Etoile d 'Or and Giants, in from 5-inch to 10-inch pots. They are pot-bound but do not give many flowers, although full of buds. I have been feeding with liquid cow manure. How can 1 get them in bloom the quickest and continue until, say, the middle of March? After that of course it is easy enough. Will muriate of potash help to develop the flowers, and how much should I use! C. J. D. These daisies do well in a tempera- ture of 50 to 54 degrees and produce the greatest number of flowers when in a pot-bound condition. They should re- ceive liberal supplies of liquid feeding, but should not be subjected to a high night temperature with a view to forc- ing them into bloom. Give them plenty of ventilation and allow the temperature to run up to 75 degrees or evin higher during bright weather. Have patience, it is hardly time to realize a crop from them yet; the season is scarcely begun. R.

Mums are not coming as rapidly as had been expected and the supply is hardly equal to the demand. Especially might this be said of good stock in colors; these find ready sale. Carnations and roses are in fair supply and all good stock is pretty well cleaned up. Violets are coming in quite plentifully. Various Notes. Much interest is being taken by both the growers and retail men in the com- ing chrysanthemum show, which is now known as the Ontario Horticultural Ex- hibition. On account of the change in the name some people have an idea that it is not the same as the old chrysan- themum show. The advertising manager of the exhibition called the other day and made it very clear that this is no pure food show or anything of that kind, but a chrysanthemum show on a Very large scale, with several additional fea- tures in the line of table decorations. There is, however, an exhibition of honey which will merely be a side show in ■ comparison with the chrysanthemum show. The show will be held in Massey Hall November 14 to 18j and as this is the largest auditorium in the city the show has to be conducted on a large scale to meet expenses. Any information may be had from Secretary H. B. Cowan, Manning Chambers, Toronto. The reduced rates for Thanksgiving brought quite a few visitors to the city. Among these we noticed A. G. Stephens, late of Darch & Hunter, ijondon, who is about to open a store there on his own account. J. A. Fraser, of Prescott, also gave us a call. He has lately been appointed fishery overseer on the St. Lawrence. This leads us to remark that it is as- tonishing the number of our brother craftsmen who have received appoint- ments under the "Whitney government. We wonder if all influential florists in Canada are conservatives. We also had a call from F. Mason and wife, Peterborough, and E. Greenlaw, with N. F. McCarthy, Boston. D. J.

November 1 to 10 is about the limit for what is termed fall shipment. After that date few sets are shipped until January. The California growers are now busy cleailing up cucumber and tomato, which are the last crops to come off. In about two weeks everything will be quiet on the Seed farms, except planting for next season. There have been no early rains ^s yet and the farmers are badly in need of them. One of the best posted California growers says, relative to cucumber as giown in California, that he thinks in ai; there is about 200 acres produced, ^"ich, compai'ed with the Nebraska and Colorado growers, is insignificant.

James Curbie, father of the Currie brothers, seedsmen, is dead at Milwau- kee, aged 78 years. The Planters' Seed Co., Spring- field, Mo., is erecting a warehouse 36x60 with power cleaning machinery. They confine their efforts to the southwestern jobbing trade in garden and field seeds and, although only ten months estab- lished, already have worked up a consid- erable business. The "good old times" are about to return. Alaska peas and other canners' varieties are sold at $3 per bushel and over, in quantities. The Globe varieties of onions are bringing $2 per pound with higher prices in sight. Bean prices are likely to go to the market gardeners' limit before spring and altogether it looks good for the seedsman. In the southern section of Chicago, where a considerable quantity of onion sets are grown, it is reported that the child labor law will interfere with and cut down operations considerably the coming year. In vacation time boys of 14 to 16 years do considerable harvest- ing of onion sets and if the law pre- vents the grower from employing them other available help will be insufficient to meet the emergency. Beans are reported to be arriving at the growing stations very slowly. This adds to the annoyance of the growers, who cannot give proper replies to in- quiries as to what percentage they will deliver until they know how many they will receive. MONTGOMERY VAHD, SEEDSMAN. Last season Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chi- cago, one of the largest general mail order houses in the country, established a seed department, now in charge of 8. D. Dysinger, formerly with L. L. May & Co., St. Paul. They issued a special seed catalogue, which they advertised widely, offering to send with it, free, a packet of sweet pea seeds to each one who answered. The extent to which the catalogue was distributed may be judged from the fact that they required over four tons of sweet pea seed. The cata- logue brought satisfactory results and the firm is preparing to go into the busi- ness on a still larger scale next season. They have gone to the original sources Crop 1905.

Now comes the announcement that Montgomery Ward & Co., the world's largest general mail order house, will issue a general seed catalogue in Janu- ary. Montgomery Ward & Co. never do anything by halves, and it is promised that the catalogue will be equal to the best issued by exclusive seed houses. Mr. Fisher, manager of the department, until recently with the Albert Dickinson Co., has a thorough experience in the gen- eral seed line. The policy of the depart- ment will be that of the houqe, to keep prices at the lowest point and transact a very large volume of business. It is reported that the Cash Buyers* Union, another lar^e Chicago general mail order bouse, will go into the seed business. Just what effect this will have on the exclusive seed houses doing a catalogue trade remains to be seen; it is not likely to help it any. And the general stores and small seed stores through the coun- try are likely to feel the effects of this competition once it is in full swing. PUBUCATIONS RECEIVED. [Field Notes on Sweet Peas, edited by Les- ter L. Moree and published by C. C. Morse tc Co., San Francisco, Cal.] It is now some years since the first edition of this work appeared and it is three years since the second edition was distributed. The demand for the previous editions has warranted the publication of the pamphlet now at hand. In the introduction Mr. Morse says that it has been found necessary to add thirty-four new names to the descriptive list. Some of these varie- ties are of little value, but others have given a new and decided impetus to the sweet pea trade. The list contains also descriptions of many old varieties which are now practically discarded in favor of some of the newer sorts. It is evident that the discovery of the new Countess Spencer has inaugu- rated a new era in sweet peas 5hd we may look forward to the time not far distant when we shall have all colors in this kind. The various forms of sweet peas are shown by half-tone re- productions from photographs and a number of pages are given to color classifications with planting and cultu- ral directions and other matter of in- terest and value to every sweet pea grower. A very interesting page is that devoted to collections, naming the best fifty varieties. It is stated that the best six are: Countess Spencer, new giant pink; Dorothy Eckford, the large white; Phenomenal, orchid flow- ering, blue, edged white; Helen Lewis, 3700 Acres of Gar- des SeMto Celtiva- timi.

To n^ake the best ten Mr. Morse adds the following varieties: Hon. Mrs. E. Kenyon, largest primrose; Mrs. Walter Wright, largest purple blue; Navy Blue, the largest dark blue variety; Marchioness of Cholmondeley, the largest buff and pink. The descriptive list contains 214 natties, with field notes brought down to the growing season of 1905, includ- ing the synonyms under which a num- ber of these varieties are known and which would add very materially to the total number of varieties. The pamphlet is one which should be in the hands of every one who handles sweet pea seeds or grows the flowers. BULBS IN HOLLAND. A correspondent of the Horticultural Trade Journal, writing from Holland, says: "The autumn has been marked by an unusual and continued brisk trade in all sorts of tulips, and practicaUy it may be said that the growers are sold out completely of all varieties, as some sorts WATERMELON SEED I have a surplus of most of the leading: sorts, strictly first-class in every respect.

Naturally this brisk demand has caused a very sharp rise in prices, and also in consequence some stocks have been completely exhausted, because, not only first-size bulbs have been used, but also second and third size, which is not the case in ordinary seasons. The work of planting all sorts of stocks is now being pushed forward with greatest vigor, and as shipments of late ripening goods, such as spiraea and lilium will not begin until the end of October, all hands are now being pressed for planting opera- tions. The weather also has been rather favorable, as the unusually dry condi- tion of the ground has been much re- lieved by the rain of the last two weeks." Meutlon Tbe KeTJew when yuu write.

After almost three months without rain in this section, a good soaking rain visited us October 18 and with warm sunshine a banner crop of outdoor roses is expected. This time of the year roses out of doors are at their best and conse- quently the florist suffers. Social func- tions use the flowers which the neighbors grow and, were it not for funeral work, there would be little doing. The suc- cessful growing of winter roses is as yet but a dream, every effort so far result- ing in failure. But it is hoped that by persistent effort obstacles may be over- come and that it will be but a question of a short time when roses will be grown here. Carnations seem to revel in this cli- mate and some very fine ones are being grown. But stem-rot has ravaged some of the houses in this section, some grow- ers being forced to replant over two- thirds of their stock. Lilium Harrisii is looking well, but the California calla is almost a failure. Ten-weeks stocks grow in tibundance and are used for funeral work. Mums are grown practic- ally outdoors and are very fine. Pri«es are low as yet, but when the roses are gouQ prices will jump and times will be better. Your correspondent visited the Mun- son plant at Denison, but was disap- pointed by not finding Mr. Munson at home. He has a very neat place of about 4,000 feet in which he grows carnations and general stock. He is better known as a nurseryman, having one of the larg- est establishments of its kind in this sec- tion of the country. In Sherman there are two plants, one the Texas Nursery Co., consists of four houses, two in carnations, one in mums and the other house is used for propagat- ing and general stock. This company, as its name implies, is chiefly devoted to the growing of nursery stock and does not cut much figure in floriculture as yet, but it will grow. The other plant is owned by H. O. Hannah & Son, who have been in the business about eight years and have about 7,000 feet of glass in which they grow carnations, mums and general stock. Mr. Hannah does a very largo decorating business and an immense business in funeral work, having almost WHOLESALE FLORIST 11 SO. 16TH ST..

Mr. Hannah is a progressive man, who went into the business as a pastime, but it has grown to such proportions that he found it necessary to give up his other business and devote his time to growing exclu- sively, until at the present time it takes five men to handle the trade. The state fair to be held at Dallas, commencing October 28, will give the florists of northern Texas a chance to show what they can do. If the florists of this section will get together they could find plenty of ways to get their goods before the public and by meet- ing, say once a month, will soon be able to better educate the people to buy noth- ing but first-class stuff and there will be less waste. I trust the boys in Dallas will help take the matter up and help the good work along. Narcissus. MmVAUKEE. Jarties Currie, aged 78 years, senior member of the firm of Currie Bros. Co., florists, is dead at his home, 308 Twenty- seventh street. Mr. Currie was born in Auchendrane, on the banks of the Eiver Doone, Scotland. He became a landscape gardener and florist and in 1888 came to Milwaukee to take charge of the greenhouses of Currie Bros., conducted by his sons, "William, Adam and James, Jr. Mr. Currie was a member of the St. Andrew 's society and the Milwaukee Curling club. He attended Calvary Presbyterian church. He is survived by a widow, three sons and two daughters. The old reliable Review has helped me a great many times.

'.../W. ^■. The Market Since tBe frost of k week ago there has been a great decrease in the supply of cut flowers. Boses have shortened up considerably and better prices are ruling. Carnations have also been in good demand and prices have stiffened on the better grades. Enchantress seems to be the best in this line so far, but all kinds were in very short supply the past week. Too many yellow 'Chrys- anthemums and not enough white to meet the demand was the condition of the market during the week of Octo- ber 28. Some few dahlias and outdoor roses are still seen, but from all ap- pearances outdoor stock will soon be done for. Violets are improving and selling well. Various Notes. Philip B. Welsh is sending in some fine pink sweet peas. At the last club meeting the question was brought up how to elevate the private gardener, and papers will be read on that subject at the next meet- ing, which no doubt will prove an in- teresting one. There was also a fine exhibit of a pink seedling chrysanthe- mum by N. Smith & Son, and also an exhibit of chrysanthemums from G. Lotze, of Glen Burnie, Md., among which were some very promising varieties. On Friday, October 27, the three cit- ies, Philadelphia, Washington and Bal- timore, rolled a match game. After the three games in Baltimore the remain- ing three are to be bowled in Philadel- phia during the Horticultural Socie- ty's flower show. There was a banquet here after the game on .Friday night. P. G. Burger acted as toast-master and there was a general good time.

The sharp change in the weather should have a beneficial effect. Cut stock, that has been arriving in quan- tities more than the market could handle, has shortened up considerably. The call for carnations is especially good and this stock cleans up almost every day at advanced prices. White, with En- chantress and Lawson, sell best. Beauties are selling better than they were, with extra fancy limited. Shorts are plentiful. Brides and Maids have shortened up, Richmond and Meteor are plentiful, also Perle. Carnot is fine, but scarce. All of the above have advanced slightly in price. « Extra fine valley sells well at $4. Vio- lets are good in color and stems, though hardly enough are in to supply the de- mand. Chrysanthemums are still going off easily and nearly everything wanted in this line is now obtainable. There is no glut, although the big prices for choice blooms of previous years do not materialize. There was quite a lot of shipping among the wholesalers last week. Various Notes. The Simmons Hardware Co. will hold a free chrysanthemum show in its china department this week. They have in- vited the florists of the city to show not less than five plants for prizes of $75 for first and $50 for second, the decision to be left to popular vote by the visitors. Ed. Honlihan killed himself on Tues- day of last week at his home, 3632 Evans avenue. He was well known in the trade but was out of employment. He was an inveterate smoker of cigarettes. J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, is sending in some extra fine blooms of Bichmond, also a good cut of fine Chate- nay. Mary Gorley, wife of Vincent Gorley, has instituted divorce proceedings the past week. Julius Koenig and Otto Brunig, at Berning's, are fast becoming expert bowlers. They intend to join the florist bowlers on Monday nights. The employees of Citj Hall park are busy planting some 50,000 tulip bulbs in the big beds just vacated by the sum- mer plants. Eobert Meinhardt, who recently opened a store at Sarah and Suburban streets, has taken John S. Dierkes, who was for- merly with Grimm & Gorley, into part- nership. The firm will be known as Mein- hardt & Dierkes. They make a great team. C. Young & Sons Co. have had a busy week. Among their work was the event of the social season, the ScuUen-Wade wedding. The church and residence were beautifully decorated. The bride carried a large buncn of white orchids. The Wade residence, where the reception was held, was elaborately decorated in pink and white, with many fine plants. The posters for the flower show are out and in the windows of the florists. They are small but neat and very attractive. The committee has distributed some 10,- 000 postal cards among the retail florists, announcing tho date of the show. Theo. Miller, who is auditor of the show, re- ports everything favorable. The club's special prize for 100 American Beauties should bring out a big competition, the first prize being $100, second $75 an.l third $50. This will be the feature on Friday, the third day of the show. Henry Lohrenz has his new show house well stocked with extra fine decora- tive plants. Henry reports trade good since opening the new place. The Florists' League bowlers had no trouble in defeating champion Martin Kern's team on last week. Two of the three games played Capt. Beyer was not able to roll and H. Lohrenz took his place. Bobert Meinhardt made 607 in the three games, Beneke, 537; Kuehn, 499; Ellison, 485, and Lohrenz, 429. J. J. B. Ironton, Ohio. — A. C. Ullrich & Son have been holding a very successful sale of Boston ferns, stock which they did not have room to carry through the winter. Cheap prices brought many buyers who had never before visited the greenhouses. PIPING THREE HOUSES. I want to heat three houses, built without partitions, with hot water to 52 degrees when it is 20 degrees below zero outdoors. One house is 17x85, twelve feet to the ridge, side wall seven feet half wood and half glass. The west end' is protected for four feet and the east end entirely so. Two houses are each 14x85, eleven feet to the ridge, the north side wood to the gutter, ends the same as the other house. The heater is to be located in a pit one foot below the level of the houses. How many lineal feet of 1%-inch pipe will be required and how would it beet be located! J. H. S. The largest house, 17x85, should have a 2% -inch flow pipe supplying ten 1%- inch retuAis distributed under the benches. Each of the houses 14x85 should have a 2-inch supply flowing into eight 1%-inch returns. If a pressure system is used elevate the expansion tank twdve to fifteen feet above the highest point in the system.

CALIFORNIA NATIVE PLANTS. I had the pleasure during the past week of inspecting a garden that was truly typical of California. Everything planted in it, from the sidewalk to the back yard fence, was a native of this state and from the lowest border to the many splendid specimen trees on various parts of the grounds, all were iB«tigen- ous to the soil. It was hardly possible to believe that we have so many valuable ornamental trees and shrubs and the fact that there was nothing in the garden except what grows wild in differ- ent parts of this state made it doubly interesting. On the sidewalks were planted alternating Juglans Californica and Castanopsis chrysophylla, the latter ^-r^w?' •■■rr^^ ' NOVDHBBB 2, 1005. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1353 the golden chestnut, with deep green leaves, yellow underneath, and the form- er the well known native walnutt' Sctv- eial large beds of Bhododendrbn Cali- fomicum and R. occidentale, although not in bloom at this season, showed quan- tities of brilliant foliage. A few plants of Agave Deserti and A. Shawii in earth- en pots were very effective. Both these varieties are of a bluish color and the latter has red spines. There were fine specimens of Arbutus Menziesi, the well known Madrono; Arctostaphylos glauca, the equally known Manzanita; Heter- omeles atbutif olia ; the red Christmas berry, now in full fruitage; Libocedrus decurrens, our magnificent white cedar; Quercus chrysolepsis, the mountain ever- green oak, and Quercus Garryana, a de- ciduous variety just commencing to shed its foliage. Several fine shrubs of the Cornus Nuttallii, the large flowered na- tive dogwood, were also seen. A hedge made of Prunus ilicif olia and trimmed to the height of four feet was very ef- fective. This is the so-called wild cherry and has leaves somewhat resembling those of the holly. Another hedge of Cupressud Guadalupensis was very no- ticeable. It somewhat resembles our C. macrocarpa except for the foliage, which is of a deep bluish color. A considerable space is given to na- tive bulbs of about twenty varieties but these are not blooming at present. Bor- ders made of Hazardia detonsa, with its silvery leaves and big flowers, were very showy, also Pentstemon cordifolius is very effective. A half dozen varieties of cotyledon were used to advantage, C. lanceolata, C. Californica, C. edulls and C. pulverulenta, all in full bloom, also Delphinium cardinale, easily the most beautiful of our native larkspurs. A couple of clumps of Romneya Coulteri still in full bloom must not be overlooked and a large specimen of Elymus conden- satus over ten feet high. I could name a couple of dozen more native plants noticeable here but these will suffice to give an idea of what we have that is indigenous to California and is so seldom made use of by our gar- deners. A few palms and roses are usu- ally all that are seen even in our largest pUces and the fact that we have so many distinctive California shrubs of consid- erable value as decorative plants should not be overlooked by landscape archi- tects in quest for something original or beautiful. G. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market The weather continues dry, with plen- ty of fog and warm afternoons, and these conditions make it favorable for outdoor stock, such as violets and mums. The former are not overplen- tiful this week, although there are enough to supply the demand. Chrys- anthemums are not as plentiful or as cheap as those of a year ago, nor is the quality up to the standard. Sweet peas hold their own very well and continue to be one of the best-selling flowers. Indoor stock is in fair supply, the only scarcity being fancy Beauties. Busi- ness is fair, with considerable funeral work to help along. Various Notes. A visit to the houses of F.

OUR POSSESSIONS. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has gone to the trouble of showing by statistics how slight are the business re- lations of the nurserymen of the United States with our "noncontiguous" pos- sessions. During the years mentioned we sent nursery stock to the values stat- ed to the following countries: Country. 1903. 1904. Alaska $ 270 $ 406 HawaU 1,693 1,400 Porto Rico 1,318 1,611 Philippines 24 Tutolla 82 In the same period we received nurs- ery stock as follows from our posses- sions: Country. 1903. 1904. HawaU % 104 % 218 Philippine* 646 490 TEXAS AND A TEXAN. It was in 1874 that A. W. Kerr started in the nursery business at McKinney, Tex., in which he was soon joined by John S. Kerr. After removing to Sher- man, in 1889, the latter became sjle own- er of the business and has, in the sixteen years which have since elapsed, made a large impression on the horticultural af- fairs of the state. Not only did Mr. Ken- establish a large business through agents and a catalogue business, but he built up the wholesale end to good propor- tions. He has preached orcharding for other Texans, and he has practiced what he preached, having established large orchards near Pottsboro, in the Red river country, and in the peach belt in the eastern part of the state. In the early part of the present year the business was incorporated as the Commercial Nursery ^nd Orchard Co., several of the force taking stock. Mr. Kerr has been an active worker in the affairs of the American Associa- tion of Nurserymen and is rejoicing that the association is to visit Texas next June. "The growth and development of the entire southwest in the past decade *is something marvelous,' " says Mr. Kerr. "King Cotton is gradually losing his sway, being supplanted by the di- versification idea. Cattle, hogs, rice, fruit and truck growing are the princi- pal factors in the new agriculture of the southwest. In this great movement, there has been nothing more marked than the great interest manifested in fruit- growing as one of the best means of di- versification. Texas especially is taking a front rank among the fruit-growing states of the union. Last year there John S. Kerr. were perhaps 2,000 cars of fruit shipped from eastern Texas to the northern mar- kets, and not more than one-third of the orchards already planted were in bearing. This year the output will be greatly increased on account of the young orchards coming in, and still not more than half the orchards that have been planted are bearing this season. In ad- dition to these, large plants are continu- ally being made. Texas has no fears at all of California in the stone-fruit business, and has little fear of Georgia, Louisiana and other states, because the quality, the time of ripening, and the accessibility to market for Texas peaches are such as to place her easily an equal competi- tor with any of these.

The southwest seems not to be up to the northern and western nurserymen in the matter of grading, but the force of circumstances is causing an improvement along this line.

''Not only is there a demand for stone fruits in the southwest, but also for apple, pear, and shade trees, and ber- ries, and ornamentals of every kind. The ornamental department especially is de- manding more attention and it is being demonstrated that the nurseryman must provide a class of ornamental stock suited to the needs of the southwest, which has its peculiar climate and adaptabilities.

A small plant was acquired for the Kew collection last spring, and this has grown so well during the past season that we are now enabled to see how it differs from A. glandulosa and to judge of its merits, says the Gardeners ' Chroni- cle. It is, indeed, very distinct from the latter in more than one respect. The most noticeable character, perhaps, is the presence of short spiny excrescences on the bark. Another is the thick pubescence on the under side of the leaflets. In A. glandulosa the under surface is shining green, but. in this new species the pubes- cence is so plentiful as to make it dull. The leaflets have the pair of gland-tipped lobes at the base (one on each side) which are seen also in A. glandulosa, and which serve to distinguish these two trees from all other hardy trees with pinnate leaves. It promises to be quite as beautiful an ornament to our gardens as the older species, if not more so. It is interesting to note that, according to Pfere Farges, a decoction of the bark is useful for curing the cutaneous erup- tions caused by handling the poisonous BhuB vemicifera. The species is a na- tive of the Szechuen Province of China.

ONCINNATL The Market Business continues fine and everyone is hustling, with lots of orders. Monday saw the wholesale houses cleaned out, with scarcely a bloom left after 10 a. m. The demand is all we can ask, but the supply could be better. Mums are com- ing in stronger all the time but at that there are not enough of the large ones to go around. Small ones are about equal to the demand. Roses are slackening up very rapidly and look to be scarce for the next few weeks. The quality is first-class and the price has advancd a cent all around. Some very fine Beauties are coming in and sell out fast. Carnations are very scarce and it is almost impossible to fill orders. Violets are coming now and some good stock is seen. They average around 50 cents per hundred. Baby primrose brings the same price. Lilies of all kinds are fairly plentiful and sell well. The de- mand for greens is first-class and well taken care of. Various Notes. •*' The preparations for our mum show are completed and we are looking for- ward to a fine exhibition this year. The club rooms are being cleaned and every- thing will be in good shape. The daily papers are giving us free advertising and there will no doubt be a large crowd. Mrs. R. D. Ruttle is suffering from a broken arm, caused by falling down stairs. There are rumors of a new retail store backed by Chicago capital. It is likely that there will be a party of the local craft to visit the Indianap- olis show. C. J. Ohmee. Thb orders show the facts: that the Bevikw is all right as an advertising medium. — B. H.

The Market There has been a shortage in stock the past week. All kinds of cut flowers have benn scarce and this, together with a good demand, has brought prices up. The cold weather and disappearance of cut-door stock has had a good effect on trade. Boses are not equal to the de- mand and carnations are short in all va- rieties except Lawson. There is a good supply of chrysanthemums, which are Belling well. Various Notes. Lawrence Schwager is able to attend to business again, having recovered from his recent illness. The Alpha Floral Co. reports that their business for this month was fully double that of the same period last year. The Hernden Seed Co. has put in an up-to-date cut flower department and will handle flowers in addition to their seed business. It is reported that the W. L. Eock Flower Co. will erect a new range of houses the coming summer. Charles Smith is building a greenhouse on East Seventh street, 27x85 feet, and will engage in the florists' business. WASHINGTON. The next meeting of the Florists' Club will be held in Schmidt's hall, 516 Ninth street N. W., on November 7, at 8 p. m. This will be chrysanthemum night, when a good attendance and fine exhibit of choice flowers are assured. The club decided at its last meeting to award certificates of merit to new or meritorious plants or flowers that may be shown at any of its meetings in the future. Chry- santhemum growers are requested to send an exhibit for the mum night of the club; if addressed to Peter Bisset, Twin Oaks, Washington, D.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 1371 INDIANAPOLIS. Show Notes. ,*; After quite a bit of wire pulling it is announced that Vice-president Fairbanks will make the opening speech at the flow- er show, Tuesday evening, November 14. This should prove a big drawing card. Forty pieces of advertising matter are being distributed throughout the state, besides the many programs which are mailed out to parties inquiring for them. The committee having charge of the en- tertainment for Thursday evening, No- vember 16, says that everything is in readiness. Henry Hieman has a lot of seedling chrysanthemums with which he expects i:o carry off the honors at the show. This is Mr. Bieman's strong line, and uo doubt he has some surprises in store. The down-town merchants have been lequested to make preparations for the flower show by trimming up their win- dows for the occasion. Many of them have consented to do this, as plants will be furnished them free of charge by the flower show association. A quantity of yellow and white chrys- anthemums could be seen on the street Saturday, the day of the big football game between Purdue and Indiana Uni- versities. One down-town dealer sold at least 300 yellow chrysanthemimis. A. B.

You built a greenhouse because you saw a chance to make money. ? - ^ You enlarge because it's no longer a question of chance, you CAII make more money. You purchase your materials in any of three ways : i — From the cheapest concern*; '^ — From a firm that's done" other work for you satisfactorily ; — Or from a Manufacturer and Builder whose name stands for all tb^Us high-class in materials and Tyorkmanship. Then you either erect it yourself with local labor, or the manufactulrer and builder sends his exper- ienced men and they do a skilled job. ' ■ If you were going to buy a certain machine upon which your living depended, you would go a bit careful and look into its durability, whether it was constructed upon principles to produce the best returns. You might even talk it over with a man who was using another make ; finally you would get a line on the reputation of the firm who made it I . Now it's exactly the same with a greenhouse, simply a machine so constructed as to turn out the best possible plant results. A firm who has been building these plant machines for 50 years — who has erected some of the largest — one bearing ihe reputation of putting into them- only the best materials — that's why you want to write to us before committing yourself. You will want more houses next springy so let us get it ready now^ so you'll be ready then* Burnham-Hitchings-Pierson Co.

At a recent meeting of the Chicago Florists' Club there was considerable discussion as to whether Chicago should this year have a one-horse flower show, as heretofore, or should have a two- horse show in keeping with modern tend- encies. There seemed to be great unanimity of opinion and a two-horse show was confidently expected, but the exhibition which opened on Tuesday was neither one nor the other; it was a six- horse circus team show and, pursuing the metaphor a little further, each one of these steeds may be said to have been standing on its hind legs and prancing in time to the music. Chicago has never had such a flower show as the present one and there have been few like it in this country. Its size is not its only remarkable feature. The Coliseum is the largest building in Chicago and affords more floor space than any other building in the west. It is filled to its full capacity. In fact, in the late days of the week when all the exhibits are in place, it will be found that without re-arrangement the aisles are too narrow to hold the crowds which will come. Tuesday was a miserable day so far as weather conditions go, but at four o'clock, when the show had been open only three hours, the box oflSce had as much money as was taken in the en- tire first day last year. Tuesday evening the crowd was great and as word goes out of the wonders of the show the at- tendance will greatly increase. This year's show abounds in novel features. It has been said that Chi- cago retailers had more enterprise in the matter of exhibiting than the retailers in any other city in the country. How- ever this may be, Chicago retailers really never participated until the pres- ent show. There are nineteen who have booths and others were refused for lack of space. In fact, Manager Asmus states that many more exhibits than those of procrastinating retailers were declined with thanks. The retailers' ex- hibits occupy the space underneath the balcony all the way around the hall, with the exception of the ends, which are reserved for nursery exhibits and model back yards. It is worthy of note that no matter how much attention other features attract, the crowds have their backs to the center of the hall; they are gazing in admiration upon the retailers' showings. This does not im- ply that the retailers have gone to great expense. As a matter of fact their exhibits are less expensive than a few of them have had at previous shows, but one and all are artistically arranged and beautiful in the extreme. It is safe to say that this is a feature which a Chicago show will never again be with- out. The nurserymen have never before participated in a flower show. This year four or five of them have garden scenes, lawns surrounded by hedges, walks bordered with specimen plants and each subject plainly labeled. It should be gratifying to them to see how the visitors are jotting down plant names in their notebooks. The suggestion as to model back yards was a late one. It was the happy idea of James Keeley, managing editor of thfe Chicago Tribune. There was little time for its execution but two such yards occupy the larger part of the north end of the hall, and the nursery showings come in this class. The work of J. S. "Wilson, of Vaughan's, is en- titled to special recognition. The rear of a cottage is shown, with vine cov- ered porch, with the back yard fence screened by plantings of hardy stock and the lawn dotted with beds of Baby Rambler roses and other suitable plants. Adjoining this the George Wittbold Co. has a space planted in a more rustic manner but none the less attractively. It has hedges, winding walks, trees and shrubbery and back of the whole is a smiling sky on canvas which adds im- mensely to the scene. It is safe to say that whatever good flower shows may have done in previous years, nothing has ever approached the benefit to the general trade which will come from this back yard idea carried out in a aatme- what amplified form, as it will tw in- succeeding exhibitions, when thne i» afforded for the preparation of stock. The public parks have never before contributed to flower shows on the scale of the present one. Lincoln park has »- magniflcent group of plants coveriag ». space of probably 500 square feet.. South parks have some of their best ma-- terial and the west parks are also rep- resented by groups of palms and foliage- plants. These, in addition to the beet plants from leading private conserv- atories, make the plant display all that could be desired. The cut blooms of chrysanthemunis do- not impress one until he has spent some- time in the show. They are widely scat- tered in the arrangement and their nom-^ ber is not apparent at flrst glance. But one does not need to spend more than a moment in the hall to realize that the quality was never so good as it is thio year, and the number is great. The judges had a tough proposition In sev- eral of the classes, there being from four to six entries in each and cpiality so uniformly good that there was little opportunity for choice. It is notable that the old favorites of recent ex- hibitions are little in evidence, with the single exception of good old Major Bon- naffon, which took first place for 100 yellow. The collections of one of a kind show quality never equaled in the west and both the first awards feD to- the E. G. Hill Co., Bichmond, Ind., with H. W. Buckbee, Kockford, second. The varieties were largely new foreign sorta and more of them in the exhibition class. than in the commercial. Wm. Dock- ham was shown in form which wonld be a pleasure to the president of the Chrysanthemum Society, and to Chas. H.. Totty, if they could have seen them;, they would be compelled to revise their opinion that Duckham is not grown well in the west. The one spot wliere the show could be improved is the specimen plants. They are as numerous as ever and qual- ity is equal to the usual Chicago stand- ard, but they are not what are seen at eastern exhibitions, particularly at Bos- ton. Manager Asmus repeated his good work of last year in handling the in- stallation of the exhibition. The ar-^ rangement leaves nothing to be desired^. unless it may be wider aisles, and these The Five Eotries in the Class for Forty Blooms, Forty Varieties, at Chicago.

There was an idea that the Coliseum was too big' for a flower show but that idea is dissipated. The decorations consist of an overhead canopy of yellow and green, a relic of the horse show. The Geo. Wittbold Co. raised to a level a little above the bal- cony some twenty great hanging baskets of pine boughs which serve excellently where it had been feared that so high a building would cause the exhibits to appear dwarfed. The balcony rail is hung with wild smilax, serving to carry the decorative scheme down to where the retail florists take it up. Everybody praises the eflfoct. Tables are used for only a few classes. In the basement there is a refresh- ment room and in the annex a lecture room where popular talks on gardening subjects will be given each evening during the week by E. G. Eoutzahn and C. B. Whitnall. The annex is reached by passing through the exhibits of the nurserymen, ~ which run out into the an- nex, relieving that somewhat bare room of its cheerless appearance. Here also is a demonstration of mush- room growing, a field of / pumpkins and a number of other^yihings not usually associated with^a flower show and afl"ording considerable contrast with the splendid display of orchids in the main hall. Here 11. G. Selfridge and E. G. Uihlein meet again in spirited yet friendly rivalry. Mr. Selfridge 's ex- hibit is a great bank covered with spec- imen plants in bloom, including a large number of varieties, staged in a more attractive manner than any heretofore seen. On the other side of the electric fountain is Mr. Uihlein 's table, a huge oiirror on which sit slender glass vases, each containing a fut bloom. The center vases are taller than those on the out- side and the effect is very fine. Mr. Uihlein also has a glass case contain- ing a very fine Phalaenopsis amabilis illuminated by an incandescent globe which makes it or.e of the striking features of the hall. There are also some splendid baskets of orchids. The only carnations so far exhibited were 100 blooms of Victory which were brought by A. J. Guttman from New York. They were cut on November 5 and have m:i' pers of ferns, crotons; etc. A. Lange, an open booth with the usual background of plants, the center A fine display of pans of Lorraine, val- ley.

Peterson Nursery has a privet hedge surrounding a lawn on which various trees and shrubs are shown, the walk encircling a fine English privet. Swain Nelson & Sons have a winter scene, grounds covered with make-believe snow, the stock shown including a large varie- ty of trees and shrubs. Klehm's Nursery has a lawn carpeted with twigs of arbor-vitae, with a hedge of berried shrubs. Rose Day. On "Wednesday the rose exhibits came on. The showing was a: remarkable one in view of the condition of rose crops. The display was larger than had been an- ticipated and the quality was excellent. An especially notable feature was the way Richmond outclassed liberty. Peter Keinberg exhibited his new rose which has been named for Mrs. Marshall Field, and John Monson, of the Minneapolis Floral Co., exhibited his light pink seed- ling, which he has just named, Miss Kate Moulton. Both received favorable consid- eration although not entered in competi- tion. The awards on the roses will be found in the report of the judges in this issue. Table Decorations. The table decorations "Wednesday were put on in the Annex, which goes further to show that the Coliseum of itself is too small for a flower show, instead of being too large. There are five tables. There are no premiiims, but each exhibitor re- ceives a gratuity. The decorations are to be changed daily as usual. The first day: Bohannon & Conger had a low center- piece of pink chrysanthemums. Frauenfelder had a tall vase on his table, with Appleton chrysanthemums, and pompon chrysanthemums at the base of the vase. J. L. Raske used Meteor roses for a low centerpiece, with corsages of violets. Mangel had a low mound of small Bon- naffon chrysanthemums. J Friedman's centerpiece was of daisies and adiantum loosely arranged on a mir- ror and interspersed with tiny green in- candescent lights. It attracted much at- tention. Each table was, of course, supplied with the usual napery. Visitors. The annual banquet of the Chicago Florists' Club will be held at the Coli- seum Annex this, Thursday, evening at 8 o'clock.

The show as a whole was generally consid- ered better than last year, particularly in the orchid section, which was a magni- ficent display, the value of which could in no way be measured by the amount of the prize offered. ChrysantliSinums are always a fine feature and^his year was no exception, the standard specimens and bush plants set up by C. D. Schaeffer, gardener to Richard Mortimer, Tuxedo, and Peter Duff, gardener to J. Crosby Brown, being especially fine. In cut blooms, A. Her- rington was a heavy winner in the large vase classes, scoring first for fifty blooms one variety, fifty in three va- rieties, twenty-five yellow, twenty-five white, twenty-five pink, twenty-five any other color and twenty-five any 1904 variety. C. H. Totty was first for thirty varieties short stems, his varieties being mostly novelties. Among them were Bea- trice May, Mrs. H. Partridge, Mrs. Heaume, May Seddon, E. J. Brooks, Mary Ann Pockett, Mrs. J. Dunne, Mers- tham Crimson, Mrs. F. F. Thompson and others. F. B. Pierson Co. was second in this competition with a fine exhibit of standard kinds and some seedlings. The varieties set up in the large vase classes by Air. Herrington were W. Duckham, Cheltoni, Harrison Dick, Col. Appleton and Mrs. Bobinson. He scored first also in ten white, with Robinson; ten pink, with Duckham, and ten yellow with Appleton, all splendid flowers. Thomas W. Head, superintendent for M. F. Plant, Groton, Conn., scored many firsts with a grand lot of flowers. His Mrs. W. Duckham were particularly fine and also Mrs. D. V. West. Mr, Head was first in ten bronze, with Donald McLeod; six white, with Mer- za; six crimson, with S. T. Wright; six reflexed white, with Mrs. D. V. West; six reflexed yellow, with Mrs. W. Duckham; six reflexed pink, with Leila Filkins; six reflexed crimson, with Henry Barnes; five any variety, six any white 1904 variety, and eighteen blooms in three varieties. Wm. Duckham was first in every class he entered: Ten blooms in variety, six any new yellow, six any new white, six in three varieties, eighteen in six varie- ties, some seven or more in all. Other prominent exhibitors in the cut chrysanthemum classes were Chas. H. Totty, who was first for six Madam Car- not, six seedling pink and six seedling any other color. J. McNicoll was first for six Eaton, six Appleton and several other classes. Jas. Eraser was first in pink, in several classes with W. Duckham. F. R. Pierson Co. was first in several classes, with various seedlings. Hardy chrysanthemums were repre- sented in splendid shape by R. "Vincent, .Tr., & Son, White Marsh, Md. ; John N. May, Summit, N. J.; Jos. Meehan and others. The exhibit of the first named is always a spectacular feature of the show, filling several hundred feet of bench space. A dozen of the best sorts in his collection were as follows: Jas. Boone, Stratagem, Dinizuler, Mrs. Por- ter, Cerise Queen, Golden Trophy, Ruby Queen, Boston, Lyndhurst, Aaron, Edna,^ IVlrs. Vincent and Globe d'Or. The groups of ornamental plants were very fine, Julius Roehrs Co. getting first for a group of ornamental foliage plants and also group of foliage and flowering- plants. Roehrs also won the firsts for collection of draceenas, collection of crotons and collections of Rex begonias and bay trees. Lager & Hurrell were first for collection of orchids and this group was the premier attraction of the show. Orchids were also largely exhibit- ed by Julius Roehrs, Henry Siebrecht &■ Son and Clement Moore. The last namaoJ had a wonderful new hybrid cattleya named after himself that created much interest. Siebrecht & Son and F. R. Pierson Co. were large exhibitors of palms and stove and greenhouse plants, and the last named won out in a great competition for group of conifers shown in tubs. Bobbink & Atkins were large exhibitors in the hardy classes, showing conifers, bay trees and other specialties. Lehnig & Winnefeld were first for sev- eral classes of Lorraine begonias and cyclamen. The cut fiower classes in rosets were not very well filled for a New York ei- hibition. W. Kleinheinz was first for twelve Beauty, L. A. Noe for twenty- five pink tea, twenty-five white tea, K. Vince for twenty-five yellow, C. H, Totty for twenty-five red, with Richmond, and Geo. Von Qualen twenty-five any other color, with Mrs. Ames. In the carnation classes, the exhibits were very fine, the Cottage dardens scoring first for collection of varieties. showing fine vases of Octoroon, Alma Ward and Robt. Craig. For six varieties, twenty-five blooms of each, Wm. Klein- heinz was first. For three varieties, twenty-five of each, R. Vince was first,. 1400 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Nii\ i;.\ii!i:i; r.Mi5 "IK' .-nwinl in ;i cl.-iss tu ,-111 cxhiliitur, Imt ili:n ^i'coii(| (III Nl'lilctuii. Six li^;li1 jiink. II. W.

C. D. Sehaeffer, gardener for Bichard Mortimer, Tuxedo, New York, was awarded the Gardeners' Chroniqje silver cup for the finest individual exhibit in the show, his large exhibit of specimen plants gaining him this honor. The ex- hibits in every class were good and few who have not seen it hav« any idea of the size of the show as a whole. Dr. Hexamer and his staff deserve every credit foi" being able to gather such a mass of material, and it is the sincere wish, I am sure, of everyone to hope they may long continue. Chakles H. Totty. PHILADELPHIA. The fall exhibition of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society opened in Horti- cultural Hall last Tuesday evening, a peaceful scene of beauty in striking contrast to the exciting election scenes outside. The stairway was adorned by specimen foliage plants of great size an M id ^^nd cut chrysanthemum blooms, lUxWilliam Duckham, the new yelWwj being near her William, which had the t)lace of honor in the center. The chrys- anthemum plants in the main hall were uniformly gofld, presenting a fine ap- pearance, with a group arranged with Japanese and pompon flowers and foli- age in the center. The cut blooms of chrysanthemums were wonderful, an army of perfect flowers in every shade, of color. These overflowed the foyer into the main hall and downstairs into the lower hall. An •American seedling, a white somewhat re- sembling Colonel Ap^etqn- in form, was very fine. Another featjire was an ex- hibit of twenty-five English varieties. Dracffina GodseflSaiia won the silver medal for the best foliage pldnt in the exhibition. Fious pandurata and Croton Dayspring were of rare excellence. The new rose, Etoile de France, was seen here for the first time, also a new form of Cattleya labiata. Some speci- men heliotropes grown on stems three feet long were a novelty. The ferns upheld their reputation, the Boston type and its descendants being more than usually prominent. Phil. BAY SHORE, N.Y. The second annual exhibition of the Bay Shore Hp/.ticultural Society was held October Ifi't^ 26 in Carlton opera house, which was' filled to itp capacity with the exhibits, which wisre 'largely from the private estates of the neigh- borhood. So conspicuous was one name on the list of premium winners that it brought to mind a famous phrase and it might easily have been said that here was another case of "James H. Hyde and associates." Following were the principal exhibitors and their gar- deners: James H. Hyde, M. J. Connel- lan; Benjamin Stephens, M. Mullen; Aiiss C. S. Taylor, Thomas McKinley; Edwin Hawley, mOre dry rot than wet. It is only within recent years that we have heard very much about any of these stem-rots, and in my opinion the prevalence of these rots has kept pace with the modern methods of forc- ing. With the old system of cultivat- ing carnations, where less forcing was practiced, the stems were sufficiently hardy to become apparently immune to stem-rot. Whether this is the whole cause or not I do not know, but I think this at least accounts for a* large amount of the increased stem-rot. I am of the opinion, therefore, that remedial measures must be based upon modification of the cultural methods, or by breeding and selecting more hardy varieties. The sterile fungus rhizoc- tonia can be absolutely controlled by heating the soil, or what is termed sterilizing. Our numerous experiments with this fungus have shown conclu- sively that when soil is sterilized rhi- zoctonia is eliminated. If the carna- tion cuttings, however, should happen to be placed in soil outdoors which contMiied this fungus, sterilizing would be 0^, little value. This latter remedy, however, in my opinion, is of little use in connection with the dry stem-rot, since fusarium fungus bears spores profusely, and these spores are wafted about by the wind and are likely to be found every- where. Moreover, according to our ex- perience in growing aster seedlings in sterilized soil, we found that there is a larger percentage of stem-rot occurring from fusarium where the plants were started in flats in the greenhouse in sterilized soil than where the plants were started in ordinary soil outdoors. In our opinion this was due to the fact that the aster seedlings in the steril- ized soil were more tender and succu- lent and were therefore more suscepti- ble to stem-rot than those grown in a different temperature outdoors. Geoege E. Stone. CUTTINGS. The style of cutting preferred by most growers is the three-eyed cutting. This gives two eyes above the sand and one at or near the base of the cutting. A keen edged knife should be used and the cut should be short and clean, avoiding a long slice, as the shorter and cleaner the cut so much quicker wUl the callus form and the arrangement of the root will be more perfect. The most perfect arrangement of roots is when the rootlets are in a whorl and this can only be attained by being careful in making a clean, short cut. The depth of sand or other propagat- ing medium should be about four inches after being pounded firm and thoroughly moistened. With a rather thick-bladed knife draw a straight line across the sand, making the bottom of the cut reach half-way to the bottom, so that the base of the cutting will be as near as possible half-way between the surface and the bottom, thus securing a uniform amount of heat and moisture at a point where these essentials are least liable to fluctuation. The cuttings should then be put in about one inch apart, taking care to see that each cutting reaches the bottom of the cut. The sand should then be packed firmly around them and the whole bench thoroughly watered. Beauties, owing to their heavy foliage, will require more room. The bench should only be shaded dar- ing bright sunshine and the shading re- moved as soon as the sun ceases to shine on the bench. The temperature of the sand should be 60 or 62 degrees, with a house temperature of 50 or 52 degrees. This low temperature of the house is necessary to. keep the buds from start- ing and making wood while root forma- tion is in progress. Some growers use a higher tempera* •^'^T'W'W ? ^^S<«)?w^" -j«-;it»S.-»jy5"-- • ---, NOVEMBBB 9, 1903. The Weekly Florists' Review, 4407 Chrysanthemum E. J.

The cool6r handled stock after being potted goes to work at once and soon makes up for lost time, both in size of plant, quality of foliage and general constitu- tion. A careful examination of the condition of the sand every morning before water- ing is absolutely necessary, as the young stock is very sensitive to overwatering and cannot survive a drying out. Dur- ing bright weather the bench should be sprayed two or three times a day to keep the foliage fresh and crisp, as the moisture on the foliage is a great factor in helping to produce a good and uni- form strike. After twenty-eight or thirty days of this kind of treatment the cuttings will be showing a suflScient quantity of roots to require potting. Ribes. EFFECTS OF SULPHUR. I had an accident in my houses of Brides and Maids by sulphur gas. On ac- count of the weather being so mild I could not use sulphur on the pipes, as I was firing with hot water, and could not get the pipes hot enough to give any fumes, so I have been bothered with mil- dew more or less. So I had an oil stove and would boil sulphur every morning. Yesterday I spilled some on the stove and it caught the pan. Now I would like to know what I must do. I have already cut them down to about twelve inches of the soil. Will it pay me to keep the plants or throw them out and plant with new stock and can I expect any blooms by the holidays t The roses were two-year- old stock and in very good health. C. L. B. These roses might eventually recover but the chances are that by the time they did recover the season would be over* Sulphur applied in this manner, if it does not kill, leaves the plants in such a debilitated Condition that they are sel- dom worth bothering with. I should advise throwing them out and try to secure some strong plants of such strong and rapid growing varieties as Kaiserin and Chatenay. The prospects for a' holiday cut, even from the best you can procure, will, be poor, but by nurtur- ing and encouraging them during the dark weather thiey may produce a fair cut during spring, and at Easter. It is safer to use the sulphur blower, though it has to be done three times a week, than to run any risks with sulphur in a s.tate of fusion. Bibbs. ROSE LEAF-SPOT. My roses appeared healthy up to a week ago, when numerous spots appeared on some of the plants and on others they turned yellow and are dropping, some plants being dead. I send a sample of the foliage. I notice a multitude of small white insects in the soil. What are they and what shall I do for this house?. B. L. B. These roses are infested with the fungus Cercospora rosteola, or rose leaf- spot, a rather uncommon trouble and not very diflScult to get rid of. This fungus manifests itself by pro- ducing spots on the foliage very much resembling glass burns. A careful exami- nation of these spots will show that they are covered with a very fine gray matter and that the edges of the spots are en- circled by a purple border which is con- tinually increasing its area. By reason of its very quick action this ChryBanthemum Viola. ,rKv''^^^i "viBB^-f-VJ^fT^ '^WTWT'Tj: fr^r^, j-jriF^sy «r:^?^^s^ .TT -T^^iw?^^* 1408 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ NOTEMBEB 0, 1905. disease, if uncontrolled, can do a lot of damage in a very short time, and, like most other fungoid troubles, it is very contagious. The very act of syr- inging is sufficient to disseminate the spores through a whole section and any current of air is capable of transporting the spores from one plant to another on a bench. The remedy is to pick off all infested leaves and burn them. Spray with the carbonate of copper mixture (cupram), using five ounces of the carbonate of copper to three quarts of ammonia and sixty gallons of water. Use a nozzle that makes a very fine spray and spray the upper and under sides of the leaves thor- oughly. This should be practiced twice a vreek until the trouble disappears. Those small insects in the soil are probably the larvae of thrips. While in this stage they are very difficult to reach with any kind of fumes, as they burrow very quickly to escape the fumes. Fumigating twice a week with tobacco will catch each brood as they develop into the perfect insects, as in this state the least puff of tobacco, if it can be made to reach them, is certain to kill. Fumigating with cayenne pepper is also a sure method of keeping them in sub- jection. Kibes. .liiSitiiiiBifiMMiiffl^^ TIMELY REMINDERS; Cyclamen. Additional greenhouse space will soon be at liberty, as chrysanthemums are cut out. While the cyclamens will still do in frames for a few weeks, if well looked after and protected on severe nights, it is unwise to keep them out af- ter the middle of November. Give them a light position but not too sunny. There are often places where there is no room for a bench but where a narrow shelf can be fixed up and it is surprising what a lot of stock can be stored in this way. If a front bench is at command, in a house with a minimum temperature of 45 degrees, it will answer well. Spread a good layer of tobacco stems among them to keep down thrip and aphis. Do not syringe overhead, and it will pay to use the vmtering pot in lieu of the hose. When the plants are push- ing roots freely around the sides of the pots, give an occasional dose of weak liquid manure or a sprinkling of some reliable fertilizer, like Clay's. Do not neglect seedlings coming along. Prick them off as soon as they can be safely handled, in a light, rather sandy compost. Seed sown will still give nice plants for next year. Freesia. While freesia is not in very heavy de- mand in the markets, early batches realize good prices, especially if in time for Christmas or New Year's. To get them in flower for the earlier date give the plants a shelf or bench in a house where a night temperature of 55 degrees is maintained. Remember they need co- pious supplies of water, no matter whether in flats, pans, or pots. Saucers should be used except for flats. They appreciate doses of liquid manure but do not like it too strong; it will cause a browning on the ends of the leaves. They are also easily injured by fumiga- tion but will stand tobacco papers with- out injury. Late batches can be held in a cold house or even in frames for some time. Freesias are excellent for design work and those with a local trade can scarcely afford to be without them. Lorraine Begonias. Some of these are now sufficiently well bloomed to be quite salable. If they have been grown along in a mod- erately warm house give them one now where a minimum of 50 degrees is kept. Stand them well up to the light; sun- light will not barm them in the least. It is a good plan to suspend a number over the paths by wire hangers. Use caro in watering. Give liquid stimu- lants occasionally and you will have beautiful plants for Christmas. It is rather early yet to start propa- gating for another season, but about December 1 is a good time to commence inserting leaves in sand in a close prop- agating frame. Cut off a good piece of stalk with the leaf. With care nearly all will root and throw up a number of young shoots. These, when rooted later, make the finest plants. The Turnford Hall type is likely to be more popular than any other when bet- ter known. Bulbous Stock. There is not a great deal of sale for either Paper Whites or Roman hya- cinths while mums have the field, but some sales for Thanksgiving are usually made. It "does not take these long to come into .flower if placed in a v»arm, moist*'Wbuse. "WKten opened remove to a cool bouse or even to the flower !room to harden. ,I)o not forget to givje an occasional watering to the later batches of bulbs. One futile cause of failiire is that they give the bulbs a soaking jafter potting, cover them with soil or ashes and neglect to give them any more until removing them to force. Bulbous stock needs, a good deal of water. Re- member that the pots are filling rapidly with white, fleshy roots and a with- holding of water just when it is most needed is bound to cause serious in- jury. Lilies. It is not yet too late to pot up lilies of the longiflorum or Harrisii type for Easter. The great festival next year comes on April 15. That leaves ?ibout five months in which to flower the bulbs from time of potting, which is none too long a period. We do not advocate pot- ting in small pots and shifting into larger ones. Better give them 5-inch or 6-inch pots at once. Always place the bulb sufficiently low to allow of a liberal top dressing of loam for the numerous roots which start from the Chrysanthemum T.

Uklike the Dutch bulbous stock, lilies aie better kept a trifle on the dry side until the pots are well filled with roots. One of the prime causes of so many sickly look- ing plants is an overplus of water in the early stages of growth. Early potted bulbs for Christmas flowers should soon show the buds. It takes about forty days from the time they show until flowers are expanded in a temperature of 60 degrees at night. Syringe freely and see that green aphis does not get any foothold. Geraniums. Bo not neglect geranium cuttings in the rush of other work. They need practically no water for several months. Pick oflE decaying foliage and remove any damped-off stock. A shelf well up to the sunlight is what suits them. Old stock plants potted up late will also need a little picking over. Do not push them under the benches, as is too often done. Give them a place in the sun and keep rather dry for some time. Early in the new year water more freely and you will get plenty of nice cuttings to root in heat. Have you ever tried growing a batch of nice doubles and singles in 5-inch or 6-inch pots for winter blooming f Keep the flower trusses picked ofiE until the chrysanthemum season is partially over. For Thanksgiving or Christmas sales they are very attractive, for about everybody feela that he or she can manage a geranium. Narrow, light shelves on the sides of a carnation house, where the atmosphere is fairly dry, suits them admirably. Primula Obcooica. There are now some very fine strains of this pretty primrose and in spite of the fact that the leaves poison some people, no more useful plant is grown. It is of such easy culture, produces such a continuous wealth of bloom and is so salable as a pot plant that the retail florist can scarcely afford to overlook it. The flowers of the white varieties are also very serviceable in funeral work. The plant is by no means fas- tidious in its wants, for it does equally well in a cool north house and a warm, sunny one. It requires more feeding than Primula Sinensis, cow manure water being good for this purpose. Pots from five to six inches in diameter produce good plants, although larger sizes are needed to give the finest speci- mens. It does not pay to carry old plants over, nor yet to divide them. Nothing like seedlings of a good strain for vigor and floriferousness. Spiraea Japonica. Botanists may tell us that astilbe is the correct name for the above, but florists arc not likely to give up the old name in a hurry. The imported roots will soon be arriving. Soak them well after unpacking and leave outside to freeze well before potting. We do not consider imported clumps half so good as home-grown ones. Try growing some yourself another year and be con- vinced. After forcing if clumps are large divide with .a sharp spade, plant in the field and leave for two yeats. When lifted you will find it necessary to divide many of them, as they grow so large. The varieties compacta astil- boides and Gladstone, can be especially recommended. Chrysanthemum Mrs. D. Willis James. CANNAS IN THE SOUTH. The canna fields of the Southern Floral Nursery Co., Fruitvale, Ala., have been the Mecca for many pilgrims this sum- mer, both from nearby and distant points. The southern summer being so long, it gives nearly twice the length of blooming season that can be had in the north. Among the best newer kinds that have shown most continuous bloom Papa Nar- dy stands well to the front and at this date (November 2) is the fullest in bloom it has been during the season. Buttercup is also at its best and it is a hard one to beat. Brandywine is also good. Queen of Beauty is easily the best of all scarlets. Mount Washington, a seedling of Mont Blanc, is a great im- provement on that variety, being a stronger, healthier grower and shows a trace of pink the second day in the cen- ter of the bloom that sets off the white petals to great advantage. Henry George is a new dwarf crimson that will find a welcome in every collec- tion when introduced. Blushing Belle is a new pink of a very delicate shade, slightly edged with a creamy yellow, sup- posed to be a seedling of Martha Wash- ington, but reaches a height of six feet and is the most continuous bloomer we have ever seen. Several new pink seedlings from Hia- watha and Eastern Beauty are attracting a great deal of attention and will with- out doubt be popular when once before the public. The gem of the collection, however, is a row of .seedlings from Papa Nardy, most of which resemble that va- riety in growth and form of bloom, but are in many shades of red and pink, and a few nice yellows spotted with red, pink and orange. These will form a class very hard to beat. A yellow seedling of Ex- press, which has been christened Golden Express, and a copper colored one from the same plant, to be called Amalga- mated, are also among the choicest of a large number of seedlingfl. B. CYANIDE. Some time ago the Review gave the following formula for the use of cya- nide gas: One quart of water, one quart of sulphuric acid and five ounces of cyanide for 2,000 cubic feet of space. It also stated that this killed thoroughly the little brown aphis working down in the crown of the violet plants, but that at this strength the gas slightly burned some of the leaves. Now, I have Prin- cess of Wales single violets, double vio- lets and sweet peas all in the same house' and would like to ask what strength will kill the brown aphis and not seriously injure the single violets. If it takes a dose too strong for sweet peas I do not care, as there are only a few of them planted. Does this gas rise or settle when liberated from the jarsf In your opinion does the method of keeping the gas confined in the house until it gradually leaks out by morning do any more injury to violet plants than a much stronger dose of gas con- jlj y» ■: 5^ »5f 'W,*.

We have used this formula, only the above amount for 1,000 cubic feet in- stead of 2,000, as stated in the inquiry, and it ought not to hurt the violets if not left in long. It is very light and rises rapidly and the house should be tight in order to get the full benefit oi the fumigation. We have tried both ways, but consider twenty to thirty minutes much to be preferred to leav- ing it in all night. B. E.

There are times when one resents the use of the dignified tall vase or the prim rosebowl, or even a fancy basket for the more common flowers and for an informal luncheon or tea, the studies pre- sented herewith may prove to be com- fortable nestling spots for the eye, both iu their color toning and freedom of arrangement. For an odd setting for Shasta daisies invert a sun hat with a wide, flexible brim. Cut the brim loose from the crown about one-third of the distance around the crown. Boll back the edge of the brim opposite this cut until it touches the crown and fasten there with a strong pin. Find a low dish or bowl trhich will fit the inside of the crown, fill it two-thirds full of water and set in a generous bunch of Shasta daisies with a few ferns. Draw a dozen or so daisies through the slit around the crown, downwards, still retaining the ends of the stems in water, careless of breaking or bending them. On the left allow a few of the cluster to fall out as they will, on the table, as shown in the first picture. In cutting flowers let the length of the stems be far from uniform. Half or more may be of about equal length, but there should be a few shorter ones to carry the color lines far down into the water, while a noticeable propor- tion should be cut longer, to reach far out and up from the main body of the group. One easy method of securing a nat- ural grouping of cut flowers is that of gathering the flowers all together in the hand with the lower ends of the stems even; set the entire bunch in the vase at once, loosen your hold and the flowers will arrange themselves. The aversion which nearly every person bears to some one flower is usually due to having seen that flower in some awkward position or poor setting. So- called "stiff" flowers are grossly ma- ligned. Nature never produces an un- graceful flower or leaf-stalk. Stiff ef- fects with any kind of flowers should be blamed upon poor arrangement. In the first study there should be an air of a hatful just gathered. The second study is a pink shell, r serving the purpose of a pansy bowl filled with long-stemmed pansies, the whole being set on a mat of the same flowers. The mat consists of brown and purple pansies laid flat, with the stems outwards. The coloring of the pansies in tlie shell ranges through the browns and yellows, combined with purple in many shades and tints. Small shells, like that shown at the left, can be used in groups at either end of the table, with the large shell as a center, one at the plate of each guest. Here, as in the first study, the flowers will arrange themselves if given a fair op- portunity. A network of Asparagus Sprengeri holds the flowers in place without crowding the shell full. Placed on the table immediately before calling the luncheon or tea, the flowers out of water will last well enough for the one function. The third is a hardy phlox study, in coloring light pink with dark eye, of the variety Henry Murger, in large proportion of color, together with a truss of the beautiful rich American Beauty color, Mme. P. Langier. In combination with the phlox are a few heads of rye and a liberal sprinkling of the well known hardy grass, Eulaiia Japonica variegata. The feature of this arrangement is the wide sweep of the upper leaves of the eulaiia and the position of the lower ones to blend in form with the handle of the pitcher. Sprays of phlox, cut in stem lengths to correspond with the height of the re- ceptacle, suggest that the much longer- stemmed would be decidedly top heavy in appearance. Proportioned coloring is an interesting and fascinating study. Never set in two colors half and half of each. Have one color largely pre- dominate. Blue decorations on a gray background on the pitcher blend easily with the deep crimson and delicate pink of the phlox blossoms. i In all of these studies there are pretent .an, efise of position and a simplicity r»?hioh . carries one away from the "bou- Qualnt Receptacles for Flowers.— A Sun Hat and Shasta Daisies. sy:^.

Lignite is now used extensively for fuel in a number of the western states, and although generally regarded as a low form of coal and of comparatively recent origin, it is not the first stage in the formation of the coal measures. Peat is a still more recent form of coal, and though not as valuable as lignite, yet there are places and conditions when it is found profitable to use it for fuel. The Railway Age says that in Bussia compressed peat bricks from a bog at Kieflf have been used in locomotives with success, and they are regarded as a legiti- mate substitute for coal. In Germany and Holland compressed peat bricks are made in large quantities as a regular commercial product. During the past year peat has been used extensively by the Swedish state locomotives on freight trains. Here the peat briquettes are mixed with an equal weight of British coal. In this country the interest in peat or bog fuel is confined largely to New England, where there are no coal meas- ures, but there is also some activity in developing the peat-^ industry in the mid- dle west. New England railroads are now experimenting with peat as fuel, but no conclusions have as yet bfeen reached as to its economy as compared with bitu- minous coal. The density of coals depends upon the time they have been under formation and the pressure to which they have been subjected. Anthracite coal is the oldest and it is found at the greatest depth and has the highest specific grav- ity. Bituminous coal comes next, with the measures only a few hundred feet from the surface. Lignite is found quite near the surface and is light, like charcoal. The composition of peat is naturally similar to that of wood, the principal diflference being that it has lees oxygen and more carbon. The aver- age analysis of a pure, dry specimen is: Carbon, fifty-five; hydrogen, five; oxygen and sulphur, thirty-five; ash, five per cent. The heat of combustion is lower than that of coal or lignite and aver- ages sixty-five to seventy-five per cent of good coal. Peat or bog fuel is the first stage of the formation of a coal measure and is found as black mud in meadows, or in sphagnum moss peat bogs and in the turf on the hills of Ireland. For ordi- nary domestic use it is sufficient to al- low the material to dry thoroughly in the sun until it cracks, but for indus- trial purposes it must be prepared for transportation and made waterproof. On account of its great bulk it is neces- sary to compress the crude material after it has been dried, and briquette machines have been devised for the purpose. Some of these use a pressure sufficient to make a hard, compact briquette, having a spe- cific gravity nearly equal to that of good bituminous <:oal. A number of different processes and machines are used in the peat industry; some are like ordinary brick machines which use the bog, mud or peat after it is ground or macerated. Another process merely presses the dried peat into dense briquettes under heavy pressure with soiTje added binder and with artificial heat. These briquettes are not usually waterproof and must be used near the bogs, Anotlier proceiSs heats the cylin- der in which compression takes place so that a form of hydrocarbon is caked on the surface and makes a glaze not unlike that of anthracite coal. The effect of this is to render the briquette water- proof. An experimental machine of this type is now operating in Chicago and makes peat briquettes in the form of a disc three inches in diameter and half an inch thick. The compression cylinder is about twelve inches long and the pressure amounts to about twenty tons on the 3-inch plunger. It is claimed by some of these peat fuel companies that peat briquettes which are waterproof and will bear transporta- tion have a heat value nearly equal to that of ordinary bituminous coal, and they can be produced at a net cost of $1 per ton. While it is hardly possible for peat to compete successfully with coal in the vicinity of coal mines, yet it is gradually becoming recognized in the ♦^.v., i '-^. .

I am having trouble with my cucum- bers. I have a house of as fine plants as were ever seen and they are set very full of fruit but they do not mature as they should; what few develop do not have any seeds to speak of. I have al- ways kept bees in the house and never had any trouble but the swarm all died. Please tell me how to pollinate the flow- ers. G. N. I have no doubt whatever that your trouble is caused by insufficient pollina- tion. Keeping bees is by far the easiest way and it might pay you to renew your stock. In the meantime the method of hand pollination is quite simple; merely take the staminate, or pollen-bearing flower when ready, strip back the petals to leave the pollen-bearing part free, and transfer the pollen to the pistillate flower by touching one with the other. The sticky substance on the pistil will retain the pollen as soon as it comes in contact with it. One staminate flower is sufficient to pollinate several, ais very little pollen will do the work. The pollen is usually ready just after the flower is fully open. It is necessary to run over the flowers every day, or at least every bright day, when the flowers expand very quickly. This takes quite a little time but it ia time well spent, as it is the only certain way to insure a full crop where the natural agencies, such as bees, are not present in sufficient number to insure the doing of the work thor- oughly, W. S, Croydon, IN BELGIUM. The way in which the raising of grapes in Belgium has become a large industrj', involving many thousand greenhouses in a single district, is well illustrated by the eayjerienoe of the Brussels district. Writing from that city, Consul-Gen- eral Eoosevelt tells of the development of this industry and the extension of greenhouse cultivation to other fruits and vegetables. He says that about forty years ago the cultivation of grapes under glass was practiced on a small scale at Hoeylaert, a village near Brussels, more as an experimental ven- ture than as a business enterprise. From the beginning the experiment was ac- companied by success, and from its small origin this method of cultivation rapidly developed until it now ranks as one of the most flourishing and lucra- tive industries in this district. Today there are no less than 10,000 hothouses in the immediate vicinity of Brussels. The greenhouses are usually from sixty-five to eighty-two feet in length, and about twenty-six feet in width. Heat is distributed through clay pipes. The principal varieties of grapes are: Frankenthal, a blue, medium-size grape of fine flavor and very juicy; Gros Col- mar, an immense purple grape of at- tractive appearance, somewhat too solid and lacking in juice, and the Black Alicante and Queen Victoria, both acceptable as to quality and fla- vor. These grapes are sold on the Bel- gian retail markets all the year around, at prices varying with the seasons, from about 15 cents to $1 per pound. In the last few years the cultivation of peaches, in connection with grapes, has also become quite profitable, and, al- though still practiced on a limited scale, has produced excellent results, the yield being first-cla.^tf in every respect. The cultivation of strawberries, toma- toes, spinach, lettuce, asparagus, and chicory under glass is also carried on in this dii|^ict by syndicates, which regulate production as well as prices. Grapes grown in this consular district arc exported largely to England, Ger- many, Russia and Denmark, and, occa- sionally, in small quantities, to the United States. Hartford City. Ind. — John Leach is planning to build another house 36x100 and will install a new boiler of seventy- five-horse power for heating purposes. ODONTOGLOSSUM. For some years the demand in Europe for the more highly spotted odontoglos- sums has been remarkable and phenome- nal prices for them have been obtained, both at auctions and at private sale, far exceeding the amounts ever given for any other orchids. The most valuable of all the cool-house orchids is Odontoglos- sum crispum and it has given a host of highly spotted forms. It is unfortunate that our hot summers make the culture of this queen of orchids difficult, but culti- vators are now succeeding better with them than was the case a decade ago. The old plan was to keep them in a north house the year around. Now the best growers give them a sunny house from November until April and a north house the balance of the year. Opinions vary widely in regard to com- post. In Europe leaf-mold is the most popular material. In America some growers are using a somewhat similar compost, in the majority of cases, with the addition of about equal portions of chopped fern fiber and sphagnum moss. We have, however, yet to see as good plants produced in this mixture as in one of pure osmunda fern fiber. The last named has the advantage of being more wearing and will never sour, as the former does unless very carefully watered. There are now some very interesting hybrid odontoglossums. Great progress in their hybridization is being made in Great Britain and Belgium and a few have recently been raised in America. The accompanying illustration shows a spike of O. Wilckeanum albens, a cross between O. luteo-purpureum and 0. cris- pum. The flower is exactly intermediate in form and coloring and the heavy dark chocolate blotches add to its beauty. Un- fortunately the spike was somewhat twisted and the camera unable to do it justice. W. N. C. 14U The Weekly Florists^ Review^ NOVEMBSB 9, 1906. ST. LOUIS. The Market Colder weather has helped the retail trade, though some say that the dull feeling contiues with them. The whole- salers have been busy with both local and shipping trade all of the past week, with hardly anything left over except roses, which are not selling so well just now, owing to the fact that chrysanthe- mums have the call with the flower- loving people. Of these the fancy grades seem late, as very few can be seen at the wholesale houses and growers say that these wUl not make their appearance un- til next week, just too late for our show and just right for the Kansas City show. On a trip through the wholesale houses Monday morning fine lots of roses were seen, which included American Beauties in all grades. In mums we see some nice stock. Demand is good, with prices somewhat less than in former years. Carnations are selling clean almost every day and quality is good, especially with Enchantress, Mrs. Lawson and Wolcott. Prices have gone up on fancies. Violets show good color and stem. There are not any too many in the market for the demand. In greens smilax is overstocked, as the demand is slow. Others are plentiful. Club Meeting. The Florists' Club held its regular meeting November 2 in the new meeting hall at Grand and Shenandoah avenues. President Ammann opened the meeting at 2 p. m. There were twenty-five mem- bers present, a very slim attendance for the occasion and the importance of the meeting. W. E. Burrows, W. J. Walther, R. J. Windier, Henry Braun and Martin Mal- len were elected to membership and W. H. Kruse proposed. The treasurer's re- port showed a decided shrinkage from last report. The crape pulling matter was dropped. There was quite a discussion of steri- lized soil for carnations, which was very interesting to carnation and rose grow- ers. In this discussion President Am- mann and Vice-President Steidle took the leading parts. After this the meet- ing adjourned and the flower show guar- antors held a meeting and perfected ar- rangements to entertain any and all visi- tors during the flower show this week. The trustees, Carl Beyer, F. W. Weber and F. J. Fillmore, assisted by Frank M. Ellis and Prof. H. C. Irish, were appoint- ed by the chair to act as a committee to entertain visitors. The next meeting of the club, in the same hall, is on Thursday afternoon, December 14. Variotu Notes. By the time this issue of the Review is in the hands of our readers the flower show will be in full operation. At this writing the committee is hard at work at the hall to be ready for the opening on Wednesday morning. A full report of the exhibition will appear in the next issue. Julius Sehray, of Wm. Schray & Sons, will this month lead to the altar one of the belles of South St. Louis. The happy young lady is Miss Josie Schmitt. The new residence, which is about finished, across the way from the greenhouses will be their home. J. W. Pilcher and his partner, Mr. Burrows, left Monday for Chicago, to spend a few days at the flower show, returning Thursday to attend the home show, from here to leave again Monday for Kansas City and later in the week will be at the Indianapolis show. Miss Perle Fulmer, of Des Moines, la., spent Saturday and Sunday with her brother Carl, who is at present liv- ing in our city. G. C. Sanders, J. H. Weber & Sons, Emil Rotenhofer and the Star Nurseries all report a good fall trade, both local and shipping. The chrysanthemum show of the Sim- mons Hardware Co. brought into compe- tition four well known florists and all made creditable displays. Ellison Floral Co. 's display was all cut blooms. C. C. Sanders made a design of white bloom- ing plants, in the shape of the company 's trade mark, the Keen Kutter, which was very pretty. Wm. Kalisch & Sons showed some very fine plants and cut blooms with fancy ribbons, making in all a very attractive display. Grimm & Gorley had a group of mixed plants and some cut stock. H. G. Loyet made a small display in which he used gold fish. The company announced on Saturday night that Ellison Floral Co. got first, Kalisch & Sons second and Loyet third premium. The amounts were $75, $50 and $25. Miss M. S. Newman reports that she had the house decorations for the big Wade-Scullin wedding a week ago, also the big Spencer wedding the next day. This is a correction from the last issue. Young's only having the church decora- tions for the Wade-Scullin wedding. Bowling. The florists' league team had an easy time of it on Thursday night. They won all three games from the Reliance. This ended the first series of twenty-one games and the boys are in the fourth place, only two games behind the lead- ers, with whom they opened a second series on Tuesday night. Below is the standing of the florists. Player. Oaraes. Total. Av.

"This Cometh," according to ye let- ter heade, "frome ye Flower Shoppe kept at 3720 Olive street, in ye Bigge Citie of St. Louis, Mo." I write to ask you to correct an error in the St. Louis items of November 2. The house decorations and bridal flowers used at the Wade-Scullin wedding were supplied by me. Over 500 chrysanthe- mums, with Asparagus plumosus, were used, beside palms and foliage plants. On the table I^a Detroit roses, lily of the valley and Farleyense ferns were used. One of the chief features of the wedding, which occurred in the morning, was the bunches of La Detroit roses hav- ing holders fashioned from pink velvet ribbon which matched the broadcloth gowns of the attendants. The bride car- ried white orchids and lily of the valley, with a similar holder of white velvet ribbon. The Spencer-Scott nuptials on the day following the Wade-Scullin wedding, w^re.also executed by me. The residence was elaborately decorated, each room be- ing distinctive. In the reception hall and the billiard room large white chrys- anthemums were used in abundance^ in the library delicate pink tones prevailed, with smilax and croton foliage. The music room, where the ceremony took place, as also the drawing room, was a bower of asparagus and Carnot roses. The prie-dieu, which was designed for this occasion, was trimmed with the same flowers. In the dining room light pink orchids, with lily of the valley, were used. The bride carried her white or- chids in a queenly style; her sisters act- ing as bridesmaids carried pink roses. It is said this was by far the most select assembly so far this season. M. S. Newman. DETROIT. The Market. Business has been very gratifying the past week, funeral work drawing heavi- est on the market, while weddings are also doing their share. Good roses, as always, are in good demand, good Brides and Maids being quite scarce, selling at from $6 to $8 per hundred. Carnations are remarkably scarce, par- ticularly good white and Enchantress, th^ best ranging from $2.50 to $3 per hundred. Chrysanthemums are finding a ready sale. Pink seems rather scarce, while yellows are almost too plentiful. Violets are commencing to come in, but not in such large quantities as in former years, this being particularly noticeable in the Mount Clemens shipments. Both single and double varieties are bringing 50 to 75 cents per hundred. The sea- son has hardly begun for this popular flower. Cosmos seems quite scarce, -es- pecially white. The Ooting. To begin with, the weather man pre- sented the boys with a fine day. Pres- ent from Toledo were George Bayer, L. N. Peck, E. A. Kuhnke, Willis Hon- berger, H. A, Mills, A. Witterstaetter, T. Ritter, O. Krueger, W. T. Philipps, John Barrow, * John Gratopp, Annie Suder, J. Nauman and August Philipps and wife. We had a special car for Mount Clemens. The first stop was made at J. F. Sullivan's. On arriving at the Bath City several hay wagons took the crowd of about sixty-five people to Breit- meyer's. Here a fine lunch was served. Breitmeyer's rose houses are in fine shape, their Beauties, La Detroit and Richmond especially good. Mums were just in their glory. The two varieties introduced in 1904, Majestic and Adelia, showed up in fine shape. Carnations were also fine, especially Enchantress; the other. White Lawson, planted from 4-inch pots. At Robert Klagge's everything was in splendid shape. He has a new white carnation, a very good yielder. Mr. Klagge, formerly the "violet king," grows but very few violets now. At A. L. Stevens' the carnations were very good, but violets are not as good as he used to grow them; it is the old story. As it is quite a jaunt from here to James Taylor's, the hay-motors were put in use. Taylor's coffee and dough- nuts are unequaled, and his roses, carna- tions and mums are not behind. Violets have been given up. A. Otis says the other fellows can grow red spider, thrips, scale, mealy- ■^T'JIfliPJP^WM-HBWV , t'W- :■*" l"'i;'--yy-.\-l5'^WW!*(f7T?l¥1!WJ,!ii-^.".'

August Von Boeselager's was as clean as a whistle. Beside a house of very fine Kaiserin, he has several houses of good carnations and mums; also some good violets. Our old friend, James Carey, had the glad hand and a glass for every one. His roses, carnations and violets are very fine. At the Lakeside Inn another lunch was served. After a number of speeches Mr. Eackham, in behalf of the club, presented our ex-president, Eobert "Wat- son, with a gold chain and charm for services rendered, Qub Meeting. The meeting of the Florists' Club held at the Michigan Cut Flower Ex- change November 1 showed a fine in- crease in attendance. The main feat- ure was an exhibition of cement and tile benches and posts. The most com- plete exhibit was that made by the Cleveland Cut Flower Co., Guy Bate mentioning a number of the good points of the bench. L. Bemb showed cement slabs, each having one end turned up to form the sides of the bench. E. A. Scribner showed a rapid and inexpen- sive way of constructing a bench. After stretching a wire net across the top of the posts, which were made of ordinary drain tiles set on end and filled with cement, he spreads about one inch of cement over some burlap laid on the wire. James Taylor uses com- mon building tile, split in half. The TuflCa tile was shown by William Dilger. Ed Beard showed a bench and supports made of cement and sand, the proportion being about one to four. The legs and cross pieces were made in one piece, the cement being put into a mold of wood, placed where the post is to remain. Ordinary slabs of cement are used on top, the sides being at- tached. The verdict of the judges, Gus Taepke, J. F. Sullivan and B. Schroeter, is to be made known at the next meeting. C. H. Pease was elected a member. Various Notes. In a recent trip made by Charles Tuson to Brampton, Ont., he was very much impressed by the general appear- ance of both the place and stock of the Dale estate. Ferdinand Zube, employed by B. Schroeter, received a broken rib and other internal injuries by falling into a cellar. Philip Breitmeyer has returned from New York. S. S. Skidelsky reports a heavy sale of the rose pink Enchantress, and re- grets that the supply of cuttings is limited. While returning home from the club's outing Thursday night O. A. Stoll, of Oxford, was severely cut about the face and hands in a collision of two cars. H. S. MILWAUKEE. The Milwaukee Florists' Club had a largely attended meeting this week and final business pertaining to the flower show was taken up. A considerable num- ber of entries came in and many more are expected before the opening of the sho'tr. The show will be held in theGim- bel building, located in the center of the city, and everything points to a success- ful show. A banquet will be given all visiting florists Thursday evening, No- vember 16. A delegation of about twenty- five members of the Florists' Club will attend the Chicago show Thursday. For premium list, ,«ntry blank or any matter pertaining to the Milwaukee show ad- dress H. V. Hunkel, secretary, or C. C. Poll worth. KANSAS CITY. The Market. Business has been good since last re- port, showing a decided increase over last week. The weather continues cool, and the quality of stock coming in is much better. Chrysanthemums are tak- ing the lead now, although there is a good demand in all lines. Some fine roses are being offered. The prospects for a successful season were never better. The chief interest in trade circles cen- ters round the flower show, which opens Monday. We are all looking for some- thing unusually fine and the indications are that we will not be disappointed. There is such a demand for space that the time for making entries has been extended to Friday, November 10. L. A. Goodman is attending the St. Louis show this week and W. L. Rock is at the Chicago show, getting pointers for use at the coming show. Ed Humfeld has one of the prettiest store windows in the city. He is dis- playing some unusually fine Appleton mums this week. From the appearance of Samuel Mur- ray 's stock he will certainly carry off his share of the premiums this year. W. J. Barnes is another local florist who will have a nice display at the show. Kay-See. PITTSBURG. The Market. Chrysanthemums are the whole show, and have been for the past two weeks. Eoses and carnations were short the greater part of the week, but even this could not keep up the prices on the moms. Where one could afford to buy them in large lots the price, even on the finer stock, was shamefully low. This was the wholesalers' tale of woe, but among the retailers things were go- ing with more snap. All of them seemed busy and several of them had just about all that it was possible for them to do. Various Notes. David Frazier, gardener for H. C. Frick, reports his show larger and bet- ter than ever, and says the public are taking advantage of the open house which is extended them. Mr. Frazier keeps Mrs. Frick supplied, while she is in New York, with flowers from her own conservatory in Pittsburg. A. W. Smith is making improvements in his store in the way of rearranging his ofSces to get more privacy. Another street stand has been opened on Fifth avenue. One of the odd things is that there are only three street stands in the city and all inside of 100 feet. Good Asparagus Sprengeri seems to be scarce in this section, as most of it is short and rubbishy. This green has become so popular that it seems to be hard to keep up a supply. We are now ready to declare Ed Mc- Collum a real foot ball player. His team has not been scored on this season. T. P. Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., has just returned from a trip up the Hudson, where he visited violet growers. Wm. Bessinger, manager of the Calla Cut Flower Co., Calla, O., was a recent visitor. Hoo-Hoo. NEW YORK. The Market The fine weather, the election and the big flood of mums made the underpinning of the market shaky early in the week and a rather depressed condition was manifest. Next week the horse show will lift things and then comes Thanks- giving and prosperity for all. Violets are holding their higher plane very creditably, $1 to $1.25 being real- ized easily for prime stock on Monday. There were few left-overs and ther^ is little danger of a slump until after the holiday. The violet growers up the river are in high spirits over the additional outlets for their products and after all there will be less demoralization than in the season of 1904-5. Orchids are advancing, but there are plenty of vandas, oncidiums and cattle- yas. Soon there will be no surplus and their growing popularity in the larger cities outside New York will be felt here seriously as the winter advances. Mums are exceptionally early this year and the stock was never finer. They have had a most satisfactory season to date and prices have been reasonable at all times. Fine roses of all kinds may be had at from $5 to $6 per hundred. The demand for KiUarney and Eichmond is persistent. A great winter is assured these new and popular varieties. Mrs. Oliver Ames is asserting itself deserv- edly. Beauties hold at $30 per hundred for the best, and next week the horse show will boost them to $50 without a doubt. Carnations continue to improve and prices are firm, with an upward tendency. Election week has always been a men- ace and prices have always fallen. Pos- sibly this one may be no exception to the rule. Meaatime wo will possess our souls in patience and so be ready to enjoy with grateful consciousness of abundant blessings, the reunions and contentment of our annual Thanksgiving. Various Notes. On November 1 the business of Wm. Ghormley, 57 West Twenty-eighth street, was purchased by H. E. Froment, who has been in charge of the financial de- partment of the house since its incep- tion. Mr. Froment is well and favor- ably known by the trade and is univer- sally popular and respected. James Coyle continues with the firm and par- ticipates in the management. The best wishes for the success of the new house are tendered Mr. Froment in his venture. He begins his business career as a whole- sale florist with an established trade and a large circle of growers, customers and friends. The Limprecht Florists ' Supply Co., on West Thirtieth street, has a large stock of evergreens and holly on hand for Thanksgiving and has over 500 large boxes already engaged for the Christ- mas holidays. ■«rT?!^-!PT-:^^f»;H»)jB-:- 1416 The Weekly Florists' Review^ NOVEHBBR 9, 1905. Charles Millang says his importations are all disposed of and he could have sold many times the quantity. Next year he will quadruple his purchases in Europe. He is now devoting his entire personal attention to his mum shipments, which make a grand daily display in his conservatory, which he has set aside for their accommodation. James Hart, the veteran, is receiving some grand Beauties from his Madison shippers. Phil Eessler is quite delighted with his new quasters in the Googan building. Traendly & Schenck are handling su- Gtrb Chatenay and an endless stream of gh grade mums is flowing in and out of their big store all day. Great interest was taken in Tuesday's election by the wholesalers, and some of them were too excited over it to eat. Julius Lang is an enthusiastic Jerome man and was not afraid to let the other fellows know it. Wm. Ghormley has the sympathy of all in I his ' serious and incurable illness. THere is no hope of his recovery. He has made a brave fight during the past year, maintaining his geniality and hope to the last and bearing his suffering with rare patience and courage. Pierson's Glenview was the best dark mum at the Tarrytown show, a heavy, well built bronze flower of remarkable size and beauty. Their unnamed yellow seedling is early, with size and foliage of the Appleton order, and as early as Eobert Halliday and October Sunshine. Their new pink is a brilliant flower, very early, close to Glory of Pacific and ahead of Coombes. A big display of ele- gantissima fern goes to the Chicago and Kansas City shows. Eobert Craig was a recent visitor at Tarrytown and says he is growing and making money this year on Piersoni. Mr. Pierson was loud in praise of Winsor carnation; a bread winner he calls it. A. J. Guttman is at Chicago this week, exhibiting Victory. This week Victory was shown at Philadelphia, Boston, Columbus and Chicago, and word has come that at each place' it gained»-the highest award. Last week it was shown at Lenox, Bed Bank, Tarrytown, Orange, Poughkeepsie and Tuxedo, gettting spe- cial prizes at several and the highest rec- ognition everywhere. Victory ought to be pretty well known by the end of the show season if enterprise will make it so: and it will. The Parker-Bruen Co. report their fac- tory at Harrison, N. J., very busy on the manufacture of their novelties. Their business has advanced very rapidly since opening their city office, 1133 Broadway. Wadley & Smythe officiated at the Cas- the wedding at Sparkiil last week. White and yellow mums were used pro- fusely, the canopy of oak foliage fea- tooned with oncidiums. These orchid weddings are growing very popular. Judging by the exhibits of this prince of flowers at the New York show, there will be enough to go around and no wed- dings will have to be postponed. The John Young Co. has the pleasure of securing the first wedding in the re- built St. Thomas church, that scene of so many of the most brilliant weddings of the past quarter of a century. This is the Moore-Fargo event, and an autum- nal decoration, palms, autumn foliage and chrysanthemums, being used. Bridg- man says it will be a triumph of his skill. Henry Siebrecht, Jr., and Charles See are spending a few days and dollars down at Mt. Pocona on a shooting expe- dition. Siebrecht & Son had a dinner deQoration at the Holland House on Sat- urday and used 1,000 of their own cat- tleyas and nearly as many Killarney roses. W. H. Donohoe's store at 3 West Twenty-ninth street is now complete and takes its place with the other bon-ton shops of New York. This week Mr. Don- ohoe has the elaborate decorations at the Meajdow Brook Hunt Club, of West- bury, L. I. Fleischman opened, at Fifth avenue and Forty-third street, on Wednesday, one of the most complete and beautiful stores in the world. A fine conservatory at the rear is its best feature, but the size, richness and style of the whole com- bine to place it a step in advance of any to date. Warrendorf opens another store this week, at Seventy-second street and Mad- ison avenue, in the style of the Ansonia shop, one of the best in New York. David Clarke's Sons ^o steadily on- ward at their great place on upper Broadway, where their motto, "Nothing; but the best," still prevails. With their own greenhouses in the Bronx to draw upon, they are ready for all require- ments. They are counting on a big Thanksgiving. Four weddings in one day this week show which way the wind blows. Thos. Young, Jr., has opened his fine new wholesale store at 43 West Twenty- eighth street with complete conveniences of every kind. On his list of growers is John N. May, of Summit, who has re- turned to his first love, with large ship- ments of his specialties in roses and car- nations. Jos. S. Fenrich was justly proud last week over his showing of Alice Byron, Enguehard and Bonnaffon mums. Tot- ty's Eichmonds here are fine and abun- dant. Joe will "receive" his friends with turkey at his store on Thanksgiv- ing eve. One standing in front of John Young 's last week with but little stretch of imag- ination could see Christmas speeding hitherward. Lots of grand holly trees in full berry were on exhibition, the ad- vance guard of 400, ranging in price from ^ to $12 each. New York will use them all and some of them are in demand for Thanksgiving. The Geller Supply Co. reports a fast increasing business and are quite satis- fied with their location in the heart of the wholesale section. The New York Club meeting next Monday will be even more important a gathering than anticipated. Not only will there be a large exhibit of chrys- anthemums, but it has been decided to make this the final ladies' night of the year. Prof. Nugent, the authority on gastronomies, will round out his two years' service with special creations. John Young, secretary, will care for all exhibits of plants and flowers shipped here for the event, and the largest at- tendance of the year should be in evi- dence. Burnham's show at Bloomingdale 's was free and consequently crowded all last week and now everybody knows an orchid when she sees it. November 13, our big horse show be- gins, and no more violets that week for Chicago, remember. Mr. Lynch and Mr. Pieser may be well fed, but we don't propose they shall feed their market with our violets if we can help it. Starke & Kleine have added another greeuhoupe to . their stor&ge capacity. TboBe yoniig m^ are doing a fine ship- ping trade and growing rapidly. Wertheimber & Co. believe in inde- structible Christmas bells, and have two styles to offer this season, the demand for which has already begun. J. K. Allen's early bird experiences have caught many a worm, and a faith- ful lot of steady customers thtfer last twenty years. • Noj wonder that* "six j o'clock every morning" rooster his learned what to crow. Perhaps a prouder man than either Lager or Hurrell at the big show was James McManus, who handles all the orchid output of this firm in New York, as well as that of many other growers, and who was quite certain first prize had gone where it belongs. Echoes of the Show. There is a rumor that Macy's exhibi- tion hall wUl not be available another year for the flower show. ,j . ->>-j Dr. Hexamer was worn out Friday night, after a most anxious and labori- ous week. Whatever glory attaches to the management of the exhibition may jtistly be accorded him. What happened Friday to wake up the people f It was the only day worth call- ing a good attendance. The two acres were actually filled for hours in the eve- ning with a greatly interested crowd. Siebrecht 's rockery was a neat piece of Leo Osternei's work, and a drawing card, and their great displays of cattle- yas and Farleyense were most attractive and creditable to their orchid grower. Ellwanger & Barry's apple and pear display was in keeping with this great nursery house's reputation. Among Julius Eoehr's great orchid collection were three plants worth $600. A. Herrington had his new adiantum, a distinct novelty, reminding one most of Croweanum. E. Vincent, Jr., & Son made a grand showing of pomgons and were both pres- ent. Mr. Vincent is still full of his Eu- ropean trip. Eudolph Fischer, of Great Neck, has a bread winner in his fine carnation. Abundance, most appropriately named. John Lewis Childs was one of the larg- est exhibitors at the mum show. Mr. Jaenicke was in charge and in the dis- play was a fine group of his own seed- ling caladiums. His dracsenas were also superb. Arthur T. Boddington's exhibit, "Everything for the Garden," won the silver medal, and Harry Bunyard was as proud of the honor as if he wore it. The Cottage Gardens' exhibit reached the whole length of the big building. It was only a drop in the bucket from their 100-acre nursery, where they have 40,- 000 rhododendrons, 100,000 peonies and $200,000 worth of conifersB and nursery stock in every size and variety. In their carnation display Craig, Alma Ward, Peary and the seedlings were all grand stock. J. Austin Shaw. Washington, D. C— The new green- houses on the grounds of the Department of Agriculture were opened evenings of last week for the department's annual chrysanthemum show. Some very fine specimen plants were shown, as well as a collection of single-stems, embracing nefu-ly all the new sorts and a number of varieties not to be seen elsewhere.

NEW YORK CHICAGO. The Great Central Market The market held remarkably firm last week. After the busy horse show period a slump seemed almost certain, but dark weather tended toward light receipts and demand continued active, with the result that there was little change in the market up to Saturday. Since then demand has fallen off to a considerable extent, especially for the lower grades of stock, and the market is weaker. The demand now is for the very best material and top prices are holding steady, but low grades are on the bar- gain counter. The chrysanthemum has at last be- come the predominant factor which it usually is at this season. We have had a remarkable period of strong demand and excellent prices for chrysanthe- mums, but this week supplies are con- siderably ahead of demand. This is particularly true of the poorer qual- ities. There are thousands of flowers which axe well sold at from $5 to $10 per hundred, and enough of all the other grades. It is noticed that a great many of the flowers drop their petals on very slight provocation. American Beauties are once more equal to all demands. Quality in gen- eral is very good, size of bud, color, stem and foliage being all that the most critical could ask. Bed roses con- tinue more abundant than pink or white. In previous years red roses have usu- ally been worth more money than any other color. It is not so this season. Some very flne Brides and Maids are seen, but crops are only at a beginning with most growers, and the supply will very largely increase with a few days of sun. Last week up to Friday it was al- most impossible to find white carna- tions, so quickly were they taken up upon arrival. This week there are enough of all colors, and prices have weakened except upon extra fancy stock. Harrisii and callas are to be had for all funeral requirements and valley is abundant. On Sattirday there was a flurry in violets, but the demand has subsided, and the best goods are well sold at $1 per hundred. A few Eoman hyacinths and Paper White narcissi ap- peared on Monday. Daisies are abund- ant. A few sweet peas are coming in, but not enough to have a place in price lists. There has been an active call for green stock this week. The demand has turned from smilax since prices stiffened and asparagus strings are be- ing used in quantity for decorations. The Winandy Matter. The trustees in the Winandy bank- ruptcy matter have things now in pretty fair shape. They find liabilities of practically $86,000, $22,000 being se- cured by mortgage. There are other mortgages included in the remaining $64,000, which action has been taken to set aside on the ground that they were given for the purpose of preferring cer- tain creditors. In the few weeks of the receivership a loss of $1,600 was made, the receiver was allowed $1,000 in fees and $1,000 for his attorneys, with the result that the court now has a claim for $3,600. Since the appointment of the trustees, Messrs. Day, Beinberg and Ekas, the plant has about met expenses, but there seems not much in sight for the unsecured creditors. •,7 ••■^■•™-,.«r'7j ■'l^-,»'.-JW Nt8 ThcWecIdy Rorists' Review. NOTEMBBB 9, 1905. A Quistenin£. John Monsou, of Minneapolis, has de- cided to distribute his new light pink seedling rose the coming season. The rose has been seen at a number of ex- hibitions and is well known and liked, on the order of La Detroit and Wellesley. The rose was christened for Miss Kate Moulton with appropriate ceremonies at a supper at the Union Wednesday night. E. H. Hunt will disseminate the rose. Various Notes. August Lange has just closed a lease on a store at 40 Madison street, in the Heyworth building, to which he expects to remove before January 1. The store is splendidly located and he will put in entirely new fixtures. This is almost on the site of the Anderson Floral Co. 's store which went out of business a year or so ago. Bassett & "Washburn, with their new heating ptent, have a vacuum system designed by Otto KroescheU. A test Xs made ^^^st Sunday, during which am was circulated through 100,000 feet of pipe on five pounds steam pres- sure. Mr. Washburn states that their present consumption of coal is from sixty to seventy tons per day. They burn the Illinois product. The Brant & Noe Floral Co. has in- creased its capital stock from $40,000 to $100,000. A number of the growers are on the anxious seat because of railway block- ades, which are preventing the deliv- ery of coal as rapidly as they would like. The coal men and railroad people are all urging large consumers to take in as much coal as they can get in anticipa- tion of freight blockades, labor troubles, etc. Weiland & Eisch report that their crop of Killarney is just about a week too late for the local exhibition. They say that they will ha'\fe a magnificent crop with a few days of sun and ex- pect to stage Killarney at Indianapolis and Kansas City next week. If you are a retail florist ask C. M. Dickinson to take you into the red room at Hunt's. It is especially fitted up > with Christmas bells, and it makes as handsome a showing as could be de- sired. The Hunt bell is made of curled crepe paper and the larger sizes are fitted witfi"^ electric lights. The Chicago Rose Co. is sendin'g its first cut to the E. F. Wintersftn Co. F. F. Benthey states that they have a call for fully four times as many Killarney as they are able to supply. C. M. Dickinson, of Hunt's, returned Saturday from a two weeks' trip to New York. He was pleased to find Mrs. Dickinson very much improved in health. She suffered a severe surgical operation just before his departure. Wietor Bros, count on sending a fine lot of stock to the Kansas City show next week. N. J. Wietor will go to stage the stock and Leonard Kill ex- pects to go to look after the Peter Rein- berg exhibits. Poehlmann, Bassett & Washburn, Weiland & Risch, Benthey- Coatsworth Co. and others will also be represented.

IS The Market The feature of the market this week the increased demand for violets, chiefly due to the football game of next Saturday. The supply is rather scarce; prices in consequence have advanced. The other items on the list have not shared in the prosperity of the violet.

Pink Ivory is coming in small quantities. There are one or two new whites, the Queen and Timothy Eaton being the most prominent. Of yellows, Mrs. Jerome Jones, as seen at the Flower Market, was very fine. Maj. Bonnaffon is also im- proving. Of reds, the Leo Niessen Co. has G. W. Childs, while W. E. McKis- siek has Black Hawk and CuUingfordii. There is, however, no special demand for these dark reds. Boses have fallen off a little in price; the quality is very fine. Carnations are more plentiful than a week ago, with indications of a decidedly heavy increase in the cut of many of the principal growers. Mignonette can be seen at at least two of the commission houses. Gardenias are plentiful and lower in price. Cattleyas are becoming scarce. Oncidiums are in oversupply. Valley is plentiful and very fine. The Riverton Narsery. The brakeman on the Trenton accom- modation did not know who owned the greenhouses near Fish House, but volun- teered the information that Dreer had a very fine nursery at Riverton, so to Riv- erton Phil went, though it must be con- fessed not unexpectedly. The place was in fine order. It always is, no matter how large the business is that may be go- ing on at the time, and there was evi- dence that the business had been very large during the previous days. The shed was filled with a very fine lot of kentias in decorative sizes, about to be sent out on hurry orders to some of the leading retailers. So good has the de- mand been for palms this fall that many thousands of young seedling palms are now potted that are usually obliged to wait until December or January. Next to palms, the demand for nephio- lepis in the various varieties has been most marked. N. Scottii is the leader. Mr. Eisele feels that his confidence in this variety has been fully justified. It may be seen in all sizes, from 3-inch to 10-inch, in very fine shape. A number of houses are planted with stock plants for next season's orders, as it is believed there will be a heavy demand during the spring and early summer. N. Bar- rowsii is also justifying the confidence expressed by Mr. Eisele in these notes some months ago. The original plant, which has been to Washington and has stood considerable hard usage, looks re- markably well. The fronds stand well, and do not easily break down, as is the case with N. elegantissima, when sub- jected to too much water or rubbing the fronds. Q^he 6-inch plants of this variety (Barrowsii) are most attractive in ap- pearance. The new variety, N. Whit- manii, is here on trial. It is dwarf and resembles N. Barrowsii in many ways, the chief differences being the height and the fact that the older fern sometimes reverts to the straight leaf type, which is never seen in N. Whitmanii. Mr. Clark very justly remarked that it would be a mighty diflBcult thing to pick out these varieties when well mixed. Each has, however, its distinct qualities, and to an expert like Mr. Clark, these quali- ties, good and bad, are well known . The fall importation of half-hardy plants is now being potted. A house about 30x150 is filled with a beautiful lot of bay trees, in excellent condition. The block of houses used last spring for hardy roses is now filled with azaleas, nicely budded rhododendrons, with deep green foliage, Aucuba Japonica, Laurus cerasus, the cherry laurel, familiar in the gardens of England, and worthy of being better known here, and old-fash- ioned box, so dear to our grandfathers. Returning to the warmer houses, four long tables completely filled with Cocoa Weddelliana were a very pretty sight, the plants being clean and well grown. Some of these are intended for immedi- ate sales, some for shifting into 3-inch pots, and others into larger sizes. The smal^ and medium size kentias occupy their ^sual places, and appeared as thrifty and vigorous as ever. Their number is legion. Latania Borbonica has been gradually reduced in number un- til the proper level was reached. There is now quite a little demand for this once popular palm and it is probable the supply will be slightly increased next season. Some very pretty specimens of the new variegated bougainvillea which the Dreer Co, will send out for W. K. Harris were seen. There were lots and lots of other things of interest, but I will only mention one, the new begonia, Turnford Hall, which is in full bloom, besides Gioire de Lorraine, and makes a pleasing contrast to the older sort. Variota Notes. The meeting of the Chrysanthemum Society of America, held in Horticul- tural Hall last Wednesday afternoon ; the bowling contest, at the Casino alleys on the same afternoon, and the annual show at Horticultural Hall lasting through the week, have attracted many visitors to the city. The Henry F. Michell Co. states that the demand for tulips and daffodils has far exceeded that of any previous year. Arthur Zirkmann, of M. Rice & Co., has just returned from a very successful business trip. Edward Reid is receiving some very fine Adiantum Croweanum from several growers. Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., bears that cheerful demeanor that bespeaks splendid fall business. Mr. 1420 TTic Weekly Florists^ Review* NOTEMBBB 9, 1905. Berkowitz is generally cheerful, but when the cases are coming in in hun- dred or 200 lots, and going out fast enough to make room for the next steam- er's invoice, he is particularly cheerful. The Leo Niessen Co. is handling some of the finest Beauty, Bride and Brides- maid roses seen in this market this sea- son. M. Rice & Co. wiU have a very fine stock of holiday goods from abroad. Thomas B, Meehan, president of the Florists' Club, held a reception at the November meeting of the club, last Tues- day evening. * Geo. Parsons, of the H. A. Dreer Co., states the Japanese lilies have arrived in excellent condition. Spirsaas are in the custom house, but lily of the valley will be late, owing to heavy rains in Europe. They are not expected before November 20. Phil. DENVER, The Market Business th(9 past week has been all, and a little more, than we anticipated. With the closing of last week indications were such that we looked for a quiet t»ade for at least a few days, as the first snow of the season was upon us, making it disagreeable to go out. How- ever, it developed into a lively business by the end of the week and apparently everyone was satisfied. Cooler weather since has stimulated retail demand for all kinds of seasonable merchandise, im- proving the tone of business, where there had been more or less irregularity. The florists all report a gain over Octo- ber of last year. Values hold firm in every line. Beau- ties are fine, especially in color. They were never better and the demand is nearly up to the supply. The cut of Brides and Maids is not nearly as large, perhaps on account of the cooler weather, but some nice stock is being cut, as well as some fine Chatenay. Liberty is in generous supply, as well as Richmond, which is improving and looks better than it did on its first ap- pearance. While there have been enough carna- tions to fill all orders, none have gone to waste. The quality of stock on the whole is good. Enchantress leads in sale, followed by white. Larson is com- ing in better, having longer stem and good flowers. Fiancee looks a winner and just now is one of the best on the market and in some of the shops is sel- ling for $1 per dozen. Chrysanthemums have been much in evidence, the only shortage being in yellow. Violets are very much in de- mand and hard to get. E. E. Peterson is, perhaps, cutting the finest in the city, good flower and long stem. Varioui Notes. Potted plants sell well and command good prices in spite of a department store that sells 6, 7 and 8-inch chrysan- themum plants at 25 and 35 cents. R. S. Mahan, of the Alpha Floral Co., was down town a few days ago, for the first time since bis illness. Quite a number of dinners were given oil Hallowe'en, which made business for the decorators. The most elaborate was the Moffat dinner at the Brown Palace hotel, the work being done by B. E. Gillis, of the Park Floral Co. Some of the local florists contemplate a visit to the Kansas City flower show. E. S. K.

Roses have been harder to move and prices on all grades have softened a little. Carnations remain about the same. About $2 is a fair price for average stock. Extra select has brought $4 and in a few cases $5 has been realized by Fiancee and Prosperity. Violets are of very good quality. Doubles show a marked improvement. Prices vary from 50 cents to 75 cents per hundred. Chrysanthemums run all the way from $3 to $12 per hundred, some extra fine flowers of Pennsylvania, Eaton, Engue- hard and a few other sorts realizing $3 a dozen. Bonnaflfon is now seen in large quantities. Balfour as a pink is the favorite, being preferred commer- cially to Duckham and Coombes. Shrimpton and Intensity are leading crimsons. Miss Alice Byron, Ivory, Mrs. Jerome Jones, Western King and Mutual Friend are leading whites. Appleton, Nagoya and Kate Broomhead are also popular sorts. There cannot be much money in mums at prevailing prices. Those who handle the early kinds largely come out the best. 'Quite a number of pot plants of mums are seen, but are not especially well grown, the foliage being very poor on most of them. Cattleyas are now abundant. These, however, are rarely seen in the markets and commission houses, going direct to the stores. A few Cypripedium insigne are arriving. Small quantities of callas, stevia. Paper White narcissi and mar- guerites are seen. Green stock is of good quality and unchanged in price. With Framingham Growers. A flying visit to one or two Framing- ham growers last week found things in fine shape for the coming season. Our first call was on William Nicholson. Several divisions of chrysanthemums were yielding some excellent flowers. Pennsylvania was especially well done. Other sorts grown in quantity included Eaton, white and yellow; Nagoya, Chel- toni. Intensity, Shrimpton, Balfour, Yanoma, Jeannie Nonin and Dr. En- guehard. Large numbers of white and yellow marguerites are grown here and prove a paying crop. White feverfew in thousands were noted in propagating beds to come along for Decoration day. Principal interest centered in the car- nations which are the chief feature here, many of the new sorts being grown. Fair Maid is this season being grown much more largely than Enchantress. It is said to hold its color better, al- though not producing nearly so fancy a flower. Fiancee looked splendid, being a mass of bloom and buds. If it con- tinues to produce as at present it should prove a winner. We hope its color will hold out. In whites, a batch of Ldeut. Peary looked quite promising, as did Lady Bountiful. Gov. Wolcott was, however, producing far finer flowers. None of the whites, however, could at all approach The Queen for quantity. The flowers were carried on stiff stems and were of fine size. Mrs. Patten is the leading variegated sort grown. In scarlets. Victory seemed to take the lead, a small batch looking fine. Robert Craig was promising but John E. Haines did not look well. We did not care for Christmas Eve, of which a batch was noted. Only a few Flamingo have been grown this season. Crimson Glow showed up exceedingly well and should be heard of more in the future. Harlo- warden carried some fine flowers, but for quantity Harry Fenn was easily the leader, the flowers being of excellent size. Witterstaetter 's new varieties. Aristocrat and After Glow, were making remarkable growth and giving some fine fiowers but it is too early in the season to judge them. At S. J. Goddard's the leading at- traction at present is a large house of the new variety, Helen Goddard. The plants were producing a wealth of flow- W!9W^7^^5J5^>V^I^W"?5?*'"" NOVEHBEB 9, 190S.

Color, fonn, stem and calyx are as near perfect as possible and we looked in vain for any trace of disease. The work of prop- agation is now under way. Orders are coming in from all parts of the coun- try. A small batch of Fiancee looked extremely well. Enchantress is much preferred to Fair Maid, giving more flowers of better quality. The Queen stood head and shoulders above all other whites. Other sorts grown are Fred Burki and Mrs. W. L. Lewis. Cardinal is very well liked as a scarlet. Flamin- go is still retained and a good number of Munley. Harry Fenn looked well, giving a wealth of flowers. Mrs. Pat- ten is grown for variegated. A pumb^ of V€ry promising seedlings are under trial. A general assortment of mis- ceUaneous stock is handled. Some very good varieties of pompon chrysanthe- mums were seen. We were pleased to find J. T. Butter- worth in good health once more. Here we found two fine houses of carnations, The Queen, Enchantress, Boston Mar- ket, Harry Fenn and Fair Maid being the sorts grown. Callas in pots fill one house and Asparagus Sprengeri another. A house of Bonnaffon, Yanoma and other late mums will be right for Thanksgiving. Bulbous stock and val- ley are very largely grown. Orchids are now, however, the leading feature here and we were surprised at the vigor of many of the plants. Cattleyas are grown in quantity. A large number of C. la- biata were in bloom. We noted many carrying six flowers to the sheath and in one case seven flowers. One extra good specimen had forty-four flowers. Many fine forms were included. C. Percivaliana was represented by some splendid baskets carrying twelve to twenty sheaths each. Equally fine C. gigas, C. Mossiae and other sorts were noted. Laelia elegans was also in fine shape. Dendrobium nobile and D. Wardianum were seen in quantity, being ripened off. Oncidiura varicosum Eogersii was nearly all out. Laelia an- ceps and L. autumnalis were sending up a good crop of spikes. Some 500 Cy- pripedium insigne are grown and are without exception the best batch we have ever seen. Many of these are large pans carrying forty to fifty flowers each. Some pretty seedling cypripe- diums were in flower, Mrs. J. T. Butter- worth (C. PoUettianum x C. Tityus) being quite striking. A good many Ccelogyne cristata are grown and were pushing large numbers of spikes. We were pleased to note the vigor possessed by so many of the plants here. They reflect great credit on Mr. Butterworth. Variotis Notes. Houghton & Clark decorated for the Warren-Bradley wedding at Trinity church on November 4. It was strictly a chrysanthemum wedding, pink and white colors being used. At the house yellow and white were the prevailing colors. Denys Zirngiebel, the veteran Need- ham florist, had a serious paralytic shock on November 3. His many friends hope for his early recovery. The members of the Park street mar- ket are getting out a very neat cat- alogue which will contain advertise- ments, etc., restricted to members of the market. Profits will be used on the oc- casion of the coming visit of the Amer- ican Carnation Society. Thomas Pegler is again in the mar- ket with quantities of fine double violets. Sim Kidder and other large growers of singles are now shipping very fine flowers. While many chrysanthemum growers are complaining of poor prices this sea- son, Thomas Boland, of Nahant, who grows the early sorts in quantity, says lie has had an extra good season with them. Prof. B. M. Watson, of the Bussey Institution, will address the Gardeners' and Florists' Club on November 21 on "Botany for Young Gardeners." De- cember 18 will be ladies' night, for which there will be special attractions. Applications for membership continue to pour in. Wilfred Wheeler and W. H. Heustis are independent candidates for directors at the annual meeting of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society on No- vember 18. Owing to unforeseen circumstances, the North Shore Horticultural Society will not hold the chrysanthemum show as planned. Alexander McKay is cutting extra fine carnations and chrysanthemums at his new South Framingham establishment, he is making many improvements. We extend congratulations on his recent in- heritance. John Barr, who is one of our best carnation growers and who introduced The Queen, has that popular variety in grand shape. We doubt if any other white sort can at all approach it as grown by him. Patten & Co. are trying a batch of 1,000 Variegated Lawson in comparison with Mrs. Patten this season and like its behavior so far. William Nicholson is shipping ex- tra fine mignonette of DaiHedouze 's strain to the Park street market. W. N. Craig. WASHINGTON. Everyone seems to be busy with dec- orations, weddings having the call. Good mums are scarce; also violets. J. B. Freeman has opened a branch store on F street, around the corner from his Thirteenth street store. Z. D. Blackistone reports business espe- cially good. The Industrial Home School has been cutting some very fine chrysanthemums, due to the skill of Mr. Miller, the grower. Small gets the bulk of them. The S. A. F. medal for school gar- den work was presented to the Dennison school with appropriate ceremonies No- vember 3. Wra. F.

Nesraska reports a considerable drop from a full delivery on quite a few varie- ties of muskmelon. A SURPLUS of onion seed of the Italian varieties is being offered by some of the American seed growers. The high price of onion seed is putting a. damper on the customary fall purchas- ing of seed by the onion set growers. At latest reports S. D. Woodruff, Or- ange, Conn., was convalescing from his recent attack of heart failure. S. M. ISBELii & Co., Jackson, Mich., are rapidly extending their operations in the growing of farm and garden seeds. Visited Chicago: A. A. Berry, of A. A. Berry Seed Co., Clarinda, la.; Chas. P. Guelf, with Jerome B. Kice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y. The weather in Wisconsin woods con- tinues unfavorable for picking of green. Supplies are likely to equal legitimate demand, but prices are reasonably cer- tain to be high. The Maine Agricultural Experiment Station reports this season an unusual niimber of complaints against wire worms in potato fields. Fall plowing for at least three successive years is recommended as the best remedy. A. B. McKenzie, of A. E. McKenzie & Co., Brandon, Manitoba, left Chicago by the limited freight last Saturday eve- ning in charge of two car-loads of onion sets. This is a novel method of insur- ing safe carriage of onion sets, but Mr. McKenzie thinks it a good one. There seem to be very few reliable reports as regards beans. The growers up to the present time report being un- able to give definite information as to probable deliveries. It is thought that the crop will be as disappointing as the pea crop when all the returns are in. The situation on peas is getting worse right along. The deliveries from the fanners are falling below anything that was anticipated, and the milling and hand-picking shrink the crop heavily. It is quite apparent that on the whole the pea crop is the shortest that has been harvested for many years. From all reports it looks now as though there will not be a variety that can be delivered in full, and some kinds will drop to al- most nothing. ALBERT McCULLOUGH, Albert McCullough is one of those seedsmen who keep everlastingly at it eleven months in the year, and for that reason find all the greater pleasure in the recreation to which the other four weeks are devoted. Mr. McCullough is now in Florida on his annual outing, hunting and fishing, for he is not far less enthusiastic than Grover Cleveland, at one time also head of a seed business, in his fondness for the rod and gun. At Cincinnati they regard Albert Mc- Cullough as one of the choicest products of the town, for he was born there, in 1851, when the place was not big enough ^^uk^ho u^L^ r^ to even peep out from behind its bluff, and has grown and prospered and been identified with its business life until, at least in the seed trade, to speak of McCullough is to speak of the big town on the Ohio, and to speak of Cincin- nati is to speak of the McCuUoughs. Mr. McCullough was favored with a college training, a boon not common to the youth of his school days, just after the civil war. After college he was taken into the seed business founded by his father, J. M.* McCullough, to which he has devoted the full of his energies. Now associated with the firm are H. B. McCullough and his son. They do a very large counter and catalogue trade, as well as a considerable wholesale seed business and have a large wholesale cut flower department. Mr. McCullough has been a member of the American Seed Trade Association since its organization.

MRS. M. A. HANSEN T. M. c. A. BtnM>nrQ TOLEDO. A Visit to Mt. Qemens. On November 2, fifteen members and guests of our Florists' Club took a trip to Detroit, where about forty Detroit- ers took charge of us in a special car for Mt. Clemens. A stop was made at Mr. Sullivan's place, where everything was in good order. Our pictures were taken here, with Norman Sullivan as man be- hind the gun. Arriving at Mt. Clemens the whole party went to the Breitmeyer place. There everybody went sightsee- ing and they found what they were look- ing for, house after bouse of roses, car- nations, mums and violets all in the best shape, except the latter, of which all the former violet kings of Mt. Clemens are decidedly tired. The bell called everybody to lunch and such a lunch. The Breitmeyer hospitality is well enough known not to need any comment. The next place visited was Mr. Klagge 's. Here, as at every other, everything was in apple-pie order. Some houses of roses were extra good. At Stevens', Taylor's and Carey's the story repeated itself. Befreshments were served nearly everywhere. The coffee and doughnuts at Taylor's hit the spot. At the Otis place we saw some fine lettuce ready for market, and also some Chinese vegetables that were certainly curiosities. The name of a variety of lettuce written in Chinese characters on a label puzzled "William Dilger very much. He finally admitted that he could not read it, but thought if he had his flute along he would be able to play it. Pressing business at home compelled the writer and four other Toledoans to break away while the party was at the Carey place. The rest of the party visited the Von Boeselager place and wound up with a banquet where every- body enjoyed himself to the limit. At George Rackham's place in Detroit we saw some elegant cyclamen, a sam- ple of which the proprietor promised to send to the next club meeting, Novem- ber 15, at Liberty hall. His carnations and roses were also good. Various Notes. Business is good with almost every- body. Mrs. H. Luder reports business up to the limit. George Bayer feels proud of the mum half ,of the 700-foot houses. The cut is beginning to start heavily. At the Scottwood greenhouse the Lor- raine begonias are showing up fine. CONQIEROR Taffeta Ribfcon for Florists' uses is SHOULDERS above any similar ribbon for Flower Decorations.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. With the advent of cloudy weather carnations seemed to suddenly forget how to open. They are scarce, all colors bordering onto the famine stage. Roses are equal to all demands and are improv- ing in quality. Beauties are in abun- dant supply, which is unusual for this season of the year. Mums, of course, are in their glory and occupy the cen- ter of the stage to the detriment of roses. Nathan Smith & Son, of Adrian, have had a few blooms of their new pink Rosi- ere on exhibition at Smith's. It is a fine flower and a good keeper. A new insect has made its advent among the mums. It is a small brown bug, very partial to dahlias. It at- tacks the bud and flower of the mums, eats enough out of one side to disfigure the flower and cause it to rot. One firm lost fully thirty per cent of its flowers in this manner. Henry Smith has given a free chrys- anthemum show at his store, which was very attractively arranged and drew a large crowd. He staged fifty varie- ties of mums, cut and in pots. It is probable there will be a good crowd attending the Chicago show. Smith, Cross, Crabb, Hannah, Schols and Freyling are mentioned as going. G.

Though rarely seen in the florists' stores of the east, the sprays of buds and blooms of this charming poly- antha rose are largely used by the flo- rists of the Pacific Coast. The flowers are a pretty shade of light pink and the buds are long and pointed. Though the individual buds and flowers are small they are borne in graceful sprays, and these are ideal material for the floral artist. I have seen bouquets and other arrangements for debutantes con- taining this rose alone that were supe- rior in effect to anything I have here- tofore noted. And in the store of Siev- ers & Boland, in San Francisco, a hamper filled with these sprays struck me as the prettiest thing in their large display. I understand that these sprays are cut from plants growing in the open, and do not know whether blooms could be forced in eastern greenhouses, but certainly every florist who grows. flow- ers for his own use should have a dozen or more plants of Mile. Cecile Brunner rose for summer cutting. And if it could be produced as a pot plant in good bloom it would be a money-maker at any time, and especially at any of the various holidays. Geo. SPOKANE, WASH. At a glimpse of trade conditions in this section the two impressions con- veyed are the fine quality of roses and carnations, though the grower has to contend with poor soil and very little sun, and the absence of Beauties and violets, which the public would certainly demand in quantity could they be grown successfully. Chrysanthemums are plen- tiful and bring good prices, being the salvation of the trade, as they last until March and from a grower's account are the chief standby of the holiday season. At Miss Wright's, the pioneer grower and retailer, carnations and chrysanthe- mums are in fine shape. Bulbous stock will be plentiful at a later date. From a small conservatory of a few years ago Miss Wright has, by her energy and in- dustry, built up a fine trade and has now 12,000 feet of glass, an evidence of the success of women in the trade. A practically new place is that of H. E. Reimer's, who has about 10,000 feet of glass devoted to roses and carnations, all superb in quality. It is Mr. Keimer's intention to make a specialty of bloom- ing plants and by selling at wholesale he has filled a growing need and laid also the foundation for a thriving and profit- able business. With the recent cold weather trade has improved and the doors of society have opened, the first decoration of the season being at the Country Club, in which Bridesmaids and smilax were used abundantly.

The majority of private gardeners do not make any effort to keep these bulbs dry a certain portion of time during the year, and as a consequence the bulbs do not usually amount to much after the first blooming. In this climate it is impossible to grow hyacinths, tulips, narcissi, crocuses, ranunculus or anemones with any satisfaction after the first season unless they are kept away from other material which must be watered through the summer. It does not matter how much moisture the bulbs receive before the foliage dies down, but after that they should receive but a very small tW''-. l!.WHWH"J'PWIfW!l('''J ."

The grafting machine is making very slow work of displacing the old-fashioned method. There is complaint of poor packing on consignments of peou^es from Hol- land growers. In the southeast, Kief^er pear or- chards gave good_and profitable crops the past seaionrlfnd^quickraed the sale of trees. Landscape architects operating in the middle west, report considerable work for fall and very much more in sight for spring. The orders in most cases are small but numerous. The high price of apples confirms *the report that there is a shortage in the crop. Even the Ben Davis is selling at 50 cents a peck — to unsuspecting cus- tomers.— Chicago Tribune. English apple growers, alarmed at the rapidly increasing importations of American fruit, are organizing marketing associations for the purpose of putting the home product on the market in the most attractive form. A NURSERYMAN has been operating in the vicinity of Scranton, Iowa, with a contract which provides for cancellation only on the payment of a large percent- age of the gross amount of the order. The buyers have found their orders swelled, and the cancellation clause has secured a number of settlements. Oth- ers have combined to resist collection. The nurserymen are all pretty well pleased with the fall season. On ac- count of the warm weather in early autumn it was late before digging could be begun on many items, but large de- liveries have been made, particularly by wholesale growers, who find that each year more and more of their customers a^e equipped with storage facilities and Iflce to get their stock in the fall instead of in the spring. A number of the wholesalers say that there is now little difference between the volume of in- voices for spring and fall deliveries. If freezing weather will hold off a little longer digging operations will be well out of the way, with good supplies un- der cover. It was a good growing season everywhere. NURSERY EXPORTS.

While the hydrangea will suc- cessfully withstand the severest winters,, it appears it cannot be grown to it» greatest perfection in many of the north- ern states. In the central west it sel- dom exceeds in size the lower classes of shrubs. A success in certain parts of New York, in other sections not far distant it is apparently a failure. In- Jamestown the hydrangea grows to per- fection. In Buffalo it is not a great suc- cess. One of its favorite habitats is north- ern New Jersey, the environments ap- pearing to be particularly adapted to its growth and development. There it is quite common, growing luxuriantly, not only in the rich soil of well kept orna- mental grounds but in a majority of the dooryards whose owners have a love of flowers. We illustrate herewith a hydrangea grown at Brookside, on a small country place near Little Falls, N. J., which is thought to be as large and attractive as any to be seen in the vi- cinity of New York.

In order not to be dependent upon lumber shipped from territories far from the line, the Pennsylvania railroad is planting 600,000 locust seedlings on the company's properties, at a number of places along the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers. In the last two years the road has set up about 800,000, and the next year propose to plant about 300,000. Owing to the increase of vast railroad operations the forests near the railroads have been stripped so that ties for the most part have to be brought from a distance and every year the distance grows greater, for it requires about 620,- 000,000 cross ties to furnish the railroads of the United States annually, and to fill this demand about 200,000 acres of wood- laud are yearly wiped out. CALIFORNIA PRIVET. Could you give me some information as to the time for trimming California privet f One of my customers has a hedge of this kind and wants it pruned this fall. It is six or seven feet in height now. It was cut back a few years ago to the height of four feet and has had no other attention since. Will it hurt it if it is cut back to three feet? D. C. N. We cannot recommend pruning Cali- fornia privet hedges at this season. Wait until the plants have started to grow in t^Q spring, say about the end of May, and uien cut them down to the desired height. To keep the hedges in good con- dition they should not be allowed to g^row so long untrimmed. It will pay to give the hedge another trimming about the end of July. This will keep it in nice shape. W. N. Craig. CLEANLINESS. The following was written for English nurserymen but the advice is so good, and so applicable to many American nur- series and greenhouse establishments that it is recommended for an especially care- ful reading: "A writer in a contemporary wonders why nurserymen do not as a rule take njore pride in the appearance of their ground. He thinks they would have more pleasure in life, and also find it more profitable. "As we read these lines, we recalled, with a pang, two or three places we have lately visited, which we left with a sickly feeling.

BOX TREES and labor, if they had only been started at the proper time. This is tantamount to saying that this particular ground might have been pulled over eight or twelve times during the summer, instead of two or three at the same cost. "We do not like to think of the pro- prietor 's feelings, when he escorts a visi- tor round a wilderness of this sort; but what about the foreman and the men under him? Are they not liable to lose their self-respect and energy, and sink to lifeless drudges? Then as to the stock — it seems a waste of time to remind practical men of the difference in growth and appearance between trees grown in a well-cultivated nursery, and those found at lifting time in a fox-cov- ert. All the same, the necessity for din- ning it in strikes us in far too large a proportion of the places we visit. "We have expressed the opinion be- fore and endorse it afresh, that many of our nurserymen would be better off, if they laid half their land down to grass, and put their labor and manure on the rest. We might add a word as to the effect of appearances on the buyer. More than half those who call to look at trees, know very little about them, and are as much impressed by the general look of the establishment as by the stock they wish to purchase.

The reverse conditions naturally induce suspicions as to the business ability of the owner, and the buyer, if he places an order, wants to see his name on every tree before he leaves, and probably thinks the seller a kind of man who may be safely bullied out of a big discount off catalogue prices.

The floral dis- play, as usual, contained many note- worthy specimens. The Cattleya labiata of "William Barr, grown by Arthur W. Bodwell, which gained the first prize at the recent show, was again entered in competition and received 95 points in the contest for the annual prize. It was conceded by the orchid experts to \)e the finest specimen they had seen, the flowers measuring nine inches from tip to tip. Chrysanthemums made up the greater part of the display, save the vegetable section, which covered a large space. These were from John Crosby Brown, grown by Peter Duff, and Doug- las Eobinson, grown by John Gervin. A specimen adiantum, grown by Dr. Kinds- grab, and a sport from Carnation En- chantress, from the Colgates, grown by William Reid, were also shown. The re- port of the secretary showed the flower show held October 30 and 31, in East Orange, to have been a financial success. Mathew Peterson, under gardener for O. D. Munn, was elected a member and Col. H. A. Potter and George Simpson, of East Orange, and Frank Drew, gardener for Thomas A. Edison, were placed in nomination, J. B. D. NEW ORLEANS. November 1, the day in which more flowers are sold in New Orleans than at any other time in the year, is gone and this year sales have been larger than ever before. Scarcity of stock and may- be also a few more new deaths during the past summer, was no doubt the cause. Prices have been good. Home-grown outdoor chrysanthemums not less than #2 a dozen J northern flowers $4 to $5 a dozen and more, some paying as much as 60 cents for one flower. Carnations were $1.50; short roses $2. Every florist was entirely cleared out of his white stock. Anything which looked like a flower was disposed of at a good price. Small chrysanthemums, greatly used to make bunches, were very scarce. Now we are getting ready for the show, which opens next week. M. M. L. Chillicothe, Mo. — R. Isherwood and the ladies of the Episcopal church joined forces this week to hold a chrysanthe- mum fair. Monmouth, 111. — It was thirty years ago, on October 27, 1875, that Thomas Hewitt and family arrived at this place. Mr. Hewitt at once started a market gar- den, building a greenhouse 10x20. He now has about 8,C^0 square feet of glass. "% I Mums ! Mums ! I I We will again offer a set of tliose Bread and Butter Varieties Such as have previously originated and been disseminated by us.

We have had a remarkable fall, with plenty of sunshine. It was very late that the growers were favored with a good frost and the long season for gar- den flowers Kept the price of indoor stock lower than last season. Now we are beginning to get more seasonable prices. Carnations are bringing $2 and $3 per hundred, with not any too many to go around. Some think that when the cool, dark weather sets in there will be a shortage, as a good many of the growers complain of the good weather working off the buds. Cnrysanthemums are in abundance and find good sale at eatisfactory prices. Various Notes. G. Hart, formerly with Salter Bros., opened a commission house here last spring. He reports business very satis- factory. Most of our growers are now taking him their entire cut and say they get better returns than they did when they sold their own stock. Charles Fry, our largest carnation grower, reports business good. He has remodeled quite a number of his houses, besides building a new residence. James Bishop has been cutting some fine chrysanthemums. His carnations are also doing finely. N. A. James has had an enormous crop of roses. He said his carnations never looked better and he has been cutting more mums than he could use at his retail business, which he reports is on the increase every day. H. M. Haoerstown, Md. — Joseph R. Free- man, of Washington, was thgiudge of the floral exhibits at the "Wswhington county agricultural fair held October 11 to 14. He proved an expert in his line and most favorably impressed the management.

Coming across, in my garden, a scale from Lilium auratum, which was lit- erally smothered with minute bulbs, suggested a few notes on another method of propagation. Scales, as generally managed, and embedded in orthodox fashion in very sandy soil, usually produce one bulb, and on more than one occasion I have discovered discarded portions on the rubbish heap making a gallant attempt to repro- duce their species. Experience teaches us that the scales should be laid hori- zontally on the soil, and very lightly covered with equal portions of sand and fiber, and the cultural treatment for the bulbs when formed is pre- cisely the same as for those from flowering stems. I understand that the Dutch propa- gate their hyacinths by lacerating the basal portion of large bulbs, which in- duces a fine crop of young bulbs to form, this may be termed express cul- ture, as compared with the ordinary and natural production of offsets. I may mention that I experimented with three liliums a couple of years ago, namely, L. auratum, L. lancifolium rubrum, and L. auratum rubro-vitta- tum, in like manner, and, while the original bulbs were destroyed, quite a hundred bulbils were produced, the lacerations being crowded. — Gardep- crg' Magazine.

Another fine rain followed by warm sunshine has given things a new start in this section. Boses ai?e in full bloom and dahlias are at their best. Mums at most of the places visited _are of good form and size, but in most in- stances badly blistered by the sun. Carnations are coming on in good shape, Enchantress, Lawson, Estelle and Boston Market doing much better than other varieties. In roses. Meteor, Malmaison, Gould, La France and Co- chet are good but Kaiserin does best of all. Bride, Maid and Perle are a failure, the excessive heat and dry- ness of the atmosphere burning them up. The cool rain has put vincas out of business, but stocks will soon be in bloom and will become the staple ar- ticle for funeral work. Quite a num- ber of decorations have been reported from the different towns, keeping the florists busy. There has been, I un- derstand, a good demand for mums around Dallas, and I have been in- formed that as high as $20 per hundred wholesale has been paid; In lilies, Harrisii are reported being in first-class condition, while consid- erable loss is being reported with the callas. Bulbous stock is in good con- dition. Prices in the smaller towns are: Eoses, 50 to 75 cents per dozen; carnations, 50 cents. Violets, which are coming fine, sell for from 35 to 50 cents per hundred, while mums bring in an average of from $2 to $4 per dozen. The reports from larger towns are a shade in advance of these prices. Mr. Farley's plant at Denison was visited last Sunday. Being cramped for room, Mr. Farley cannot make the display that he would like to, but the near future will see him in the front rank. Mr. Munson, of Denison, has some of the finest Rex begonias seen for some time and he has quite a fine dis- play of roses. Narcissus. Trenton, Mo. — B. A.

I wish to use some cast-iron pipe for heating and should be glad to have you publish directions as to bow to make satisfactory joints. A. M. There are a great many mixtures used for calking metallic joints. The two here given may prove as satis- factory as any. After placing the pipes in the desired position place a roll of oakum around each pipe and with a calking tool pack it firmly into the hub of the pipe, then fill the remaining space with one or the other of these preparations: fcjal ammoniac 2 oz. Sulphur 1 oz. Clean iron filings or borings. .. .12 lbs. Add enough water to form a paste. Iron filings 4 lbs. Fire clay 2 lbs. Powdered potsherds 10 lbs. Make into a paste by adding strong brine. L. C. C. PIPING NARROW HOUSES. I have four houses 9x100 feet. "Will eight runs of 1-inch pipe be sufficient to maintain 60 degrees when the tem- perature outside is 12 degrees to' 15 de- grees below zero? There are two benches each three feet six inches wide in each house and I plan to put four runs of 1-lnch pipe under each bench, or in other words 3,200 lineal feet in the four houses. J. B. If these houses are independent, or disconnected houses, it would be best to provide each with ten runs of 1-inch pipe. If they are connected, built on the ridge and furrow plan, I think the eight pipes as j'ou have planned will be sufficient. L. C. C. Mention The Rerlew when you write.

PEOPLE who know a good thing when they see it, and will take advantage of the same, must be possessed with good judgment and are generally suc- cessfal. One of our successful growers has this year taken out 6000 feet of wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6000 feet of the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order. Our long list of orders of this kind is our best reference. By writing any of the large growers at Chicago you will confer a favor on the GEO. M. GARLAND CO., - DES PLAINES, ILL.

We believe thoroughly in the large even span house for cut flower growers. Believe in them so strong that we have made this little diagram just to show you our reasons. To start with, the single house (A) has the same amount of glass surface as houses B-B, yet heated with less fuel. (A) has 26/ additional air space —more uniform degree of temperature and moisture- increased circulation of air, better ventilation. The Anolk Kit iJto^tta -Hoco>fc^r20^tf- greater mass ot heat is a protection against sudden out- side changes — gutter, ridges, sash, header, roof of one B shades other B greater part of the day (see diagram C). Last, but the one on which the entire matter really hinges, a saving of from 15 to 20/ in fuel, some even claim 25/. Of course We build any form of house you prefer. If you intend building this spring take the matter up with us NOW so you will be ready THEN. Send for Cata- log J-G. Burnham-Hitchings-Picrson Co.

" On account of bad weather the open- ing of the flower show at New Orleans ■was postponed until Saturday, Novem- ber 11, the exhibition being held in a tent. Mayor Behrman, in the presence of a large assembly, opened the show. His address was responded to by Miss Helen Pitkin, president of the Louisiana Sunshine Society. P. M. Chopin, presi- dent of the New Orleans Society, wel- comed the audience in behalf of the flo- rists. Although the weatlier has not been so far what we would wish, the show is to be a success, judging from the first two days. At previous exhibitions we had better specimen chrysanthemums. The season has been somewhat against them this year and less competitors have en- tered the field. The cut flowers were fine and proved once more that, as well as anywhere alse in the United States, New Orleans can produce perfect mums under glass. The competition in ferns was great, every commercial variety being repre- sented by splendid specimens. Groups of palms, araucarias, crotons, pandanus, ficus and dracaenas were numerous and, in fact, the whole tent, 80x250, was packed, leaving just space enough for the visitors to pass around. In plants, the principal exhibitors and prize winners were P. A. Chopin, Abele Bros., M. M. De Lapouyade, J. A. New- sham, Henry Kraack, Chas. Eble, E. Val- dejo, J. H. Menard, Geo. Mahn, C. W. Eichling. The judges were: George Thomas, E. E. Welter and John Eblen. BOSTON. Neither in quality nor quantity of ex- hibits could this year's show be classed as up to the average so far as chrysan- themums are concerned. The date set was about ten days too late for cut blooms, which in many cases had a half faded look on the opening day. Pot plants were good, but less numerous than usual. The cut blooms averaged smaller than usual. This is not surprising, as on many of the large private estates smaller sizes are now demanded and commercial growers find it more diflBeult to dispose of their largest sizes. An increasing taste for medium size flowers and for sprays, not only of the Japanese, but also of anemone and pompon varieties is noted. An interesting class in the cut bloom section was one calling for a represen- tative collection of classes labeled in ac- cordance with the classification of the C. S. A. D. P. Roy won, with a fine assort- ment, Geo. F. Fabyan, James Stuart gardener, second. For twenty-five blooms in twenty-five varieties there was a strong competition. E. D. Jordan, H. A. Abra- ham, gardener, was a good first. Some of his best flowers were, Donald McLeod, T. Carrington, William Duckham, T. Eaton, Goldmine, Henry Barnes, Col. Appleton, Mrs. Coombes, Merza, Leila Filkins, Mme. Gustave Henry, Mrs. Peabody, 8. T. Wright, General Hutton and Maynell. Thomas Doliber, N. Byrne, gardener, was second, and D. F. Eoy third. For six vases in six varieties ten blooms each, Thomas Doliber was first and M. F. Plant, T. W. Head, gardener, second. D. , F. Eoy was the only exhibitor of twelve incurved, taking first prize. For twelve Japanese, there was a keen tussle. Peter B. Kobb led, with excellent blooms of Mrs. G. Mileham, C. J. Salter, M. Ca- huzac, Mrs. Swinburne, T. Eaton, Wm. Duckham, Sir George White, Frank Han- niford, W. R. Church, Charles Longley, Yellow Eaton and Duchess of Suther- land. E. O. Jordan was second and D. F. Roy third. The last named won for twelve reflexed, twelve anemone and twelve sprays pompons. For six new introductions, Peter B. Robb was first and M. F. Plant second. For ten blooms red and long stems, Geo. FTFabyaa and Thos. Doliber won in or- der named, each showing John Shrimp- ton. For pink, Thos. Doliber won, with Dr. Enguehard; James Nicol second, with the same variety; A. F. Whitin, Thos. Howden, gardener, third, with W. Duckham. For white, T. Doliber won, with Nellie Pockett; M. F. Plant second, with Merza; Mrs. John Shepard third, with Eaton. In yellow, Mr. Doliber again led, with Appleton; M. F. Plant second, with Mrs. W. Duckham; A. F. Whitin third, with Appleton. For any other color, G. F. Fabyan was first, for T, Carring- ton; T. Doliber second, for Kate Broomhead. Some extra fine Mrs. Jerome Jones and its yellow sport were shown by A. F. Whitin in the special Lane memo- rial class for this variety. In fact, they were the best of the large blooms in the hall. For eight specimen plants, J. S. Bailey, J. Nylan, gardener, was first with a fine lot of plants, hardly equal to what we have seen in previous years, but still bet- ter probably than would be found at any other show in America. His varieties were M. Richardson, T. Carrington, Mrs. J. R, Tranter, Golden Trophy, R. H. Pearson, Black Hawk, Mrs. F. A. Con- stable and L. Boehmer, very fine. E. W. Converse, Robert Marshall, gardener, was second, with fine plants of Mrs. J. G. Bear, Shrimpton, Broomhead, L. Boeh- mer, Black Hawk, R. H. Pearson, Mrs. F. A. Constable and Mrs. J. R. Tran- ter. The same two exhibitors divided the other specimen plant class prizes between them. For twelve plants naturally grown, without disbudding, arranged with palms or other foliage plants, the second prize went to E. W. Converse, third to Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Wm. Thatcher gardener. The entries in this class were rather dis- appointing. For six plants grown with six flowers each, not over 7-inch pots, D. F. Eoy was first and second. There was a fine display of carnations in the small hall, the qu^ity extra good for so early in the season. For twenty- five crimson, W. Nicholson was first, Backer & Co. second, S. J. Goddard third, all showing Harry Fenn. For dark pink, G. N. Black won, with Lawson. For light pink. Enchantress took all the prizes, these goiqg in order named to Nicholson, Goddard and Backer & Co. The Cottage Gardens had the best scarlet, showing Robert Craig. W. Nicholson won with fine Wolcott for white, H. A. Stevens Co. second, with Lady Bountiful.

Goddard won, with Prosperity; Nicholson second, with Mrs. Patten; G. N. Black third, with Prosperity. There being no class for any other color, Pros- perity came in competition with Patten and other striped varieties. Numerous seedlings and novelties were staged. Guttraan & Weber showed a grand vase of Victory. Geo. B. Anderson had a very fine scarlet of large size with stiff stems. If the flower does not burst and is supported on longer stems later in the season it will be valuable. H. A. Jahn showed a number of good seedlings. One of shrimp color received honorable mention. From the Peirce Farm, Tops- field, Mass., came Marion Peirce, a flesh pink, which received a similar award. Backer & Co. had the «ame awards for a deep pink sport from Enchantress and a clear yellow seedling. They also had a number of other promising sorts. Patten & Co. showed Pink Patten, which was the only sort to receive a certificate of merit. H. A. Stevens Co. received honorable mention for a sport from Lawson of En- chantress color. Other varieties shown included State of Maine, from L. C. God- dard ; Mikado, from Patten & Co. ; Aristo- crat, Afterglow, Crimson Glow and Fian- cee, the latter extra fine, from W. Nich- olson. Hel^n Goddard was staged in fine shape by S. J. Goddard and was much admired. For display of cut orchids, J. G. Roth- well, Emil Johansson, gardener, staged over 125 bottles, including many valuable sorts, and secured the Appleton silver gilt medal. Col. Chas. Pfaff, Geo. Melvin gardener^ taking the silver medal. There were numerous miscellaneous dis- plays. E. McMulkin had a fine group of foliage plants in which a number of cattleyas were" Tised, also cut cattleyas. Julius Roehrs Co., had a table of orchids and foliage plants. Lager & Hurrell had a nice assortment of orchids. J. E. Bothwell had a fine specimen plant of Cypripedium insigne Sanderee and H. W.

Blake had a display of chrysanthemums and palms. Mrs. E. M. Gill had a table of chrysanthemums and H. H. Barrows & Son, Nephrolepis Barrowsii and their beautiful new compact form, N. Whit- manii. Alexander Montgomery had a fine vase of Wellesley rose. R. Vincent, Jr. & Son had over 100 varieties of pompon chrys- anthemums which were one of the best features of the show, attracting more attention than the big blooms. These were awarded a silver medal, in addition to a gratuity. Some of the best sorts noted were Hijos, Prince of Wales, Sun- set, Miss Julia, Blanche, Jeanette, Queen of Whites, extra fine; Lady May, another fine white; Miss Roe, Mrs. Vincent, Sheridan and Rhoda. There were fine displays of seasonable fruits and vegetables.: Excellent attend- ances were recorded each day, due in large part to the superb weather. W. N. Craig. PHILADELPHIA. High as is the standard of cut flowers . of chrysanthemums at our show, the Chrysanthemum Society of Ataierica raised the standard this season. To this society and to its members we owe the lion's share of praise for the most won- derful collection of cut flowers ever seen in this city. Among new varieties Mrs. Wm. Duckham, from Thos. W. Head, of Groton, Conn., won the silver cup. The same variety from A. Herrington, of >'adison, N. J., captured a silver medal. This sort is a magnificent exhibition flower of great depth. The color is yel- low. R. D. Foote, of Morristown, N. J., R. Vince, gardener, won the Pierson sil- ver cup for six varieties, six each. Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich., received a silver medal for a grand pink seedling of a pleasing shade, which they ramed Mayor Weaver. E. G. Hill Co., of Richmond, Ind., exhibited a handsome white named Adelia. Among the finer varieties noted besides Wm. Duckham, pink, already mentioned,' exceedingly large and handsome, there were, in white, Nellie Pockett, Merza, T. Eaton, D. V. West and Fidelity; in yel- low, Col. Appleton and Gen. Hutton; gol- den. Yellow Eaton, Mrs. T. D. M. Car- duza, Mrs. E. Thirkell, Beauty of Lehigh, Mrs. W. Mease and a good seedling from F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y. ; in pink, Mrs. Potter, Viviand-Morel, Mile. Liger, Bentley, Orizaba, Filkins, Dr. Enguehard, Lucy Evans, Etherington and Brighthurst; in red, W. R. Church, Lidy Hopetoun, Matchless, S. T. Wright, Black Hawk, darker than others; in bronze, Brutus, J. H. Doyle and Lord SalislWy. Tfie exhibit of W. Wells & Co., of Sur- rey, England, of twenty-five varieties, one bloom each, short stems, carried remark- ably well and created much interest. This was a fine exhibit. C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., included among his exhibits half a dozen Japanese sorts with curious combinations of color, very striking in appearance. There were two large exhibits of pompons that were well staged and very popular, one of twenty-five named varieties from Henry F. Michell Co., the other of over fifty distinct sorts from Thos. Meehan's Sons. In the plant classes, Gorden Smirl cap- lured a majority of the prizes. His speci- men pink was A. J. Balfour ; yellow, Gol- den-Age; white. Mutual Friend.

Another good trio was Mrs. Nathan Smith, Wm. Duckham and S. T, Wright. Four plants, four varieties, were Golden Age, W. Duckham, J. C. Neville and Geo. W. Childs. The same exhibitor received a silver medal for Mrs. Nathan Smith, white, one of six varieties. The other five were Balfour, T. Carrington, Garden Queen, Geo. W. Childs and Golden Age. John McCleary received first for best plant, new variety, for Mrs. Wm. Duckham. He also ex- hibited a good plant of Brutus, bronze. In the classes for foliage plants, John Thatcher had a number of fine speci- mens. Two of them were mentioned in the last report. Joseph Hurley exhibited twelve well grown specimens, also a large group of flowering and foliage plants. John Wilson had a group of beautifully grown crotons trained into perfect shape. His varieties were Sunbeam, Queen Vic- toria, Mortii, Evansianum, Hanburyanum, Hookerianum, Baron Rothschild, Inter- ruptum and Andreanum. The H. A. Dreer Co. filled the stage with an exhibit of new and rare plants correctly labeled. A few of the plants of special interest were Aralia Chabrieri, Nephrolepis Whitmanii, Alocasia macror- hiza variegata. Begonia Turnford Hall, Kentia Belmoreana auricalus, Anthurium metallica, Adiantum Mairisii and A. te- nerum. Wm. K.

Asparagus Sprengeri trained on a trellis was very pretty. The ferns were a fea- ture of the show. Thos. Long exhibited twelve fine specimens. H. H. Battles, Thornhedge Nurseries, sent Adiantum Farleyense, perfect speci- mens that reflected great credit on Frank S. Jackson and his assistant. F. R. Pier- son Co. sent six fine specimens of Neph- rolepis elegantissima. In orchids, the Julius Roehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J., and Lager & Hurell, Summit, N. J., exhibited collections of plants in bloom and dormant. George Field, Washington, D. C., made a hand- some exhibit of orchid blooms cut.

Peary, Rachel Thompson, Mrs. Lawson, Mrs. Patten and Octoroon, crimson, hardly to be guessed by the name. John E. Haines, South Beth- lehem, Pa., exhibited his new seedling named after himself, also Imperial, a showy striped variety, and a Lawson- colored sport from the latter. William Kleinheinz made an excellent show of four varieties, twelve each, Fiancee,White Lawson, Harlowarden and Enchantress. Mr. Kleinheinz also had some good roses, as had John Little. The Henry F. Michell Co. had a most artistic Japanese garden, beautifully ar- ranged by Philip Freud. The center was filled with bulbs, each sort by itself, with a Japanese Adam and Eve planting them and making you feel that you must plant some, too. Around this was a walk and outside, in horse-shoe form, a table of jardinieres, pretty tubs, pot covers and all the finishing touches for a house gar- den of bulbs. Electric lights lent en- chantment to the scene. The Weathered Co., New York, erected a neat conservatory about 10x16 feet, showing all their construction ideas to advantage. The Wm. H. Moon Co., Morrisville, Pa., had a choice collection of evergreens in tubs. Robert Craig & Son had a well grown lot of Otaheite oranges full of fruit, also a plant of Bady chrysanthemum trained into fan shape. The Bumham-Hitchings-Pierson Co. ex- hibited photos cf their greenhouses and boilers. The H. A. Dreer Co. showed fine bay trees. A. W. Cox made a wonderful column of vegetables and fruit. Myers & Co. showed photos of their work. There was a splendid collection of vegetables and of fruit. John McCleary was a bright particular star here. I have omitted two very fine collections of geraniums in full bloom, six plants each in 8-inch pots. The winner of first prize, Wm. Robertson, must have had at least three dozen fine blooms on some, if not all his plants. The attendance was large and appre- ciative, and it is a pleasure to close with a word of well earned praise for the man- agement. Secretary Rust had the cards ready for each exhibit on Monday, the judges did their work conscientiously and on time and the awards were all on the exhibits before the doors were thrown open on Tuesday evening. Among the out-of-town visitors were Arthur Herrington and Chas. H. Totty, Madison, N. J.; Thos. W. Head, Groton, Conn.; F. R. Lotze, Glen Burnie, Md. ; Fred H. Lemon, Richmond, Ind.; Wm.

The Philadelphia exhibition, from the standpoint of number of exhibits, was a great success, some classes, aotably the Wells gold medal competition, bring- ing out ten or more competitors. The show managers could have filled an addi- tional hall with cut flowers had such been available, so closely did the cut flowers have to be packed to get them all in. The quality was the best that Philadelphia has ever shown. This was generally conceded. R. Vince, gardener to R. D. Foote, Morristown, N. J., was the chief exhib- itor and took first in every class he en- tered. He won the Wells gold medal, the Pierson cup, the Totty prize, the May prize and several others in the regular schedule. It is a tribute to the varieties of recent introduction to say that with the exception of Appleton all the flowers shown by him were varieties introduced the past two years. A. Her- rington won the C. S. A. silver cup with W. Duckham, which makes his third time of winning this coveted trophy. Thomas W. Head won the Buckbee cup with Mrs. W. Duckham, was second in the gold medal competition and for the Totty prize. A very interesting exhibit was the Wells exhibit, which came over from England and consisted of some twenty- four varieties, the most prominent of which were E. J. Brooks, Merstham Oimson, Mrs. G. Heaume and others of the season's novelties that have been spoken of in these columns. The flow- ers were fresh and good, Merstham Crimson particularly so, showing splen- did color. E. J. Brooks was a monster flower, also Beatrice May. Mr. Wells desexyes »very erttdit for his eHierpris» in going to the expense and trouble of sending an exhibit over every year to help along the national society. C. H. Totty had some thirty-four nov- elties on exhibition, most of which were duplicates of the varieties sent over by W. Wells, Mrs. John E. Dunne, Mrs. H. Partridge, Mrs. F. F. Thompson and Mary Ann Pockett being especially com- mented on. F. R. Pierson Co. had on exhibition Glenview, an immense variety certifi- cated last year, and several other seed- lings. They would have competed had not several boxes of flowers been smashed by the express company. E. G. Hill Co. was ably represented by Mr. Lemon, who won the class for twelve varieties, flve of each, and scored well in other classes. It is a tribute to western enterprise and packing that his flowers traveled perfectly. Elmer D. Smith was on hand, good natured and genial as ever, but unfor- tunately for him most of his flowers had been ruined by being left in a warm room all night when they would have been better oflE in the boxes. He won the Pennsylvania silver medal for the best seedling in the show and also his own prize for best American seed- ling. The meeting was slimly attended on the second day, but some good work was done, and the future is bright. Mr. Duckham, in his unavoidable absence, was re-elected president. His address contained several valuable suggestions, not the least important of which was as to ways and means of increasing the membership and usefulness of the so- ciety. Wm. Kleinheinz was elected vice- president and is the right man in the right place, for he is an enthusiast on mums and an excellent cultivator gen- erally, as any one knows who ever saw hi» splendid w«rk at Ogontz, in grow- ing gardenias, roses and carnations. Mr. David Fraser, of Pittsburg, was elected secretary and that he will make a good one goes without saying. It would be highly discourteous to close without paying a tribute to the genial and wholesouled hospitality shown at all times by the members of yi}i.«ii^^HJMi/'-WWll»UH».

It is in such local shows that we must seek much of the future extension of the chrysanthemum's popularity, for every one of them is a radiating center of influence upon its immediate neighborhood. There is nobody so obscure as not to know the rose; we must make it our goal to give the chrys- anthemum just such a prominence as the far older flower now enjoys. But, gentlemen, I think we may take even greater encouragement still than this. We may look about us with pride and amazement when we think of the rapid progress in the development of new exhibition varieties and in their suc- cessful cultivation since this society first began to exert its influence. We dare not claim indeed that we have had so large a share in this progress as we ought. We are still drawing upon Europe and espe- cially Australia for new varieties, but we have a share in the progress, and shall do well to encourage ourselves by thinking how great and how rapid it has been. what varieties were grown prior to 1902? It is perhaps not the easiest thing in the world to name representative ones, but it will be safe to say that lora, Viviand-Morel, Chenon de Leche and Minerva were among the best of them. We used to think they were great flowers. But when we set over against them General Hutton, F. S. Vallis, W. B. Church, Mary Inglis, Ben Wells and Wm. Duckham (as grown in the east), how wonderful has the progress been in these few years 1 But the end is not yet. This present year is no exception to the rule, for it also has provided its novelties from which much may justly be expected. I shall not venture to name many of them, but there is not much risk in saying that Mrs. J. Dunne, T. Richardson, Mme. G. Rivol, Viola and Beatrice May will carry on the flag of progress. But I have said enough. I congratu- late you who have labored in the interest of this exhibition, who are now enjoying the fruit of your labors. I am sorry not to be with you, but I hope to visit the chrysanthemum show at Edinburgh and on my return may perhaps have some message of hope or instruction to com- municate to you. Meanwhile I thank you for your kind support during the past year, and wish you a continued and an increasing success. ST. LOUIS. The St. Louis flower show, which was held under the auspices of the St. Louis Florists' Club, opened under very favor- able conditions on Wednesday morning, November 8. The exhibition was held in Westminster hall, which is located in the west end. The furnishings of the hail and the rooms, which are quite elaborate, added considerably to the beauty of the show and it needed no further decora- tions of any kind. Taken altogether, the exhibition was very complete in every detail and Fred H. Afeinhardt, the super- intendent, and the committee of ar- rangements, deserve a great deal of credit for the management of the show. All the displays during the week were a credit to the exhibitors and the visitors were greatly pleased with everything they saw during the week. Visitors from out of town were: Wm. F. Kasting, of Buffalo, president-elect of the S. A. F.; David Scott, Buffalo; J. D Thompson, Joliet, 111.; Alex. J, Guttman New York; Mrs. M. S. Vesey and Mrs Allan Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind. ; L, A Goodman, Kansas City, Mo.; Alex. H Wilson, Chicago; Joe Hill, Richmond Ind.; Carl Rauth and D. Wirth, Spring field, 111.; W. J. Keimel and Adolph Poehlmann, Chicago; Swan Peterson Gibson City, 111. ; Geo. M. Kellogg, Pleas ant Hill, Mo.; Miss Belle Miller, Spring field. 111.; Mrs. HoUard and her son Highland, 111., and many from near-by towns. President-elect Kasting on ar riving in the hall was heard to say "Boys, you have a very pretty exhibition and I am glad to be with you and in the city that gave me my start in life.

The attendance was more than three Umes what it was last year and the entire affair was ,on a scale which will be a great help in setting a new high mark next fall. Commercialism was relegated to the background, every feature was high class and it appears easily possible to ^ake succeeding shows as popular socially and as largely attended as the horse show! The paid admissions this year were over $12,000 and the passes, outside of members' tickets, were only five per ceni^ of the paid admissions. In the later days of the week the withered exhibits were removed and the cut blooms replaced by chryrtnthemums bought in the market. Some of the grow- ers were invited to put in tab.V^ for dis- play and both Peter Beinberg and Bas- ?ett & Washburn took advantage of the opportunity. The latter had s very fine table including Beauty, Bride, Maid, Chatenay, Gate, Kaiserin, Perle, La De- 'xoit and Carnot. Reinberg is entitled \o special mention for exhibiting so 'argely as he did in the circumstance. As the days passed the retailers awakened to an appreciation of the hit they were making with -the public. As they saw the interest the crowds were taking in their displays they refreshed and improved their exhibits until on Sat- urday they were much more elaborate, and also much more attractive than they were at the opening of the show. It can- not be denied that to the retail florists is due a large part of the success of the ex- hibition, but they never before secured so good advertising. Some of them com- plained that no effort was made to award premiums for these displays, but it is better so, and it is safe to gay that if any of the retailers who participated in this year's show do not care to repeat the performance next year, there will be many others who will be only too glad to take their places. Carnation Day. The carnations were staged November Domers' Seedling Chrysanthemum, No. 11, Yellow. (Winner of the Silver Cup at the Chfc»BO Show last week.) 9. The showing was not small, consid- ering the condition of carnation crops ■\n the vicinity of Chicago. There were four or five entries in several of the tlasses for 100 blooms but not nearly so \arge a show as we have sometimes had. Quality was nothing to brag about. Near- ly all the flowers were asleep on Friday »nd were thrown out on Saturday. Not many of the novelties were in competi- tion. Dorner had a vase of 100 of his new white. White Perfection, but it ar- rived in poor shape. Guttman & Weber 'lad Victory, 1,000 miles from home and easily the best red exhibited. J. D. Thompson says that his young man was struck by a team while crossing the street in Chicago, dropped the box and the 100 blooms of Robert Craig were run iver by a heavy truck. J. C. R«nnison, of Sioux City, had a red sport from Law- son. J. E. Haines was seen and S. S. Skidel- sky had a vase of Schroeter's rose pink sport of Enchantress, which was well lUsed. Melody was a winner. The rule with regard to no exhibitor taking more than one premium in a class had an effect on the awards. On 100 white the judges gave first to Gov. Wol- «ott and second to The Belle and when they opened the envelopes found that both entries were from Poehlmann Bros. Co. Second was then given to Lady Bountiful. The rule also simplified the awarding of the sweepstakes. In class 8, for six blooms one variety of chrysan- themum, yellow, darker in color than Bon- uaffon, the judges on Tuesday gave both •iwards to Nathan Smith & Son, first on Montigny and second on Appleton, but later reconsidered their action and gave second to the E. G. Hill Co. on Appleton. Awards on Carnations. Fifty blooms White Lawson, Poehl- mann Bros. Co., first; Anton Then, sec- ond. Fifty The Belle, Poehlmann Bros. Co., first.

Awards on Seedlings. There was a very limited showing o* carnation seedlings on Friday. Only twr> entered in competitive classes scored high enouGrh to get certificates. These wero Robert Craig, 88 points, and Rachel Marie Thompson. 90 ooints. both from the -T. D. Thompson Carnation Co. The latt'^r is a oink of the Lawson class and won the silver cud for sweeostakpa. Other seedliners shown were: No. 25. white, from Miss Louise Fuller. Geneva. 111.; White Perfection, from Dorner & Sons Co.. Lafavette; No. 2651. white, from J. D.

The judges commented on the retailer" ' booths as of "inestimable decorative value" and great interest. Of the tiur«- erv exhibits they said they were "eduen- tional in the highest sense." They re"- nmmended medals or gratuities for each. Special mention, was made of the park nxhibits. the table decorations, E. f^- Uihiein's conifers, Lincoln park's phry- santhemum seedlings, J. Rosenfeld's palms and Thuya nana. Honorable men- tion was also made of Mrs. Marshall Field, Miss Kate Moulton, Baby Rartibl*"* and Etoile de France rose exhibits, Pip"- son's fern and the mushroom bed. •T. A. Peterson, Cincinnati, ask^d " review of class No. 48, for five decorative plants, where his exhibit had been passed, supposedly because the judges took Pan- danus Veitchii and P. Sanderi to be iden- titfal because of little color in the latter. The judges reaflSrmed the previous awards. Table Decorations. On Thursday the table decorations were given a space, in the main hall. Bohannon '& Canger had an exceedingly attractive decoration of Killarney roses. a low centerpiece with small twig bas- kets between the plates. Mangel used XJncle John roses. Friedman had Carnot, with green electric liii^ts surrounding his pond of gold fish. Frauenfelder used lily of the valley, Liberty roses and Sprengeri. J. L. Raske used Sunrise roses. On Friday Bohannon & Canger and Mangle used Beauties in low centerpieces. Friedman had cut sprays of Babv Ram- ler bordering his pool of fish. J. L. Raske had a red table, using carnations air^ Christmas berries. Frauenfelder used s* vase of Enchantress. On Saturday Mangle's table had cat- tleyas, with violets for corsages. Bohan- non & Canger used valley, white orchids and adiantum. J. L. Raske had a Board of Trade table, wheat and corn on the cloth, yellow mums in the vase, bulls and bears between the plates. Friedman's pond was banked by valley and Baby Rambler roses. Frauenfelder used a birch bark basket of violets, with smaller baskets between the plates, connected to the central one by purple ribbon. As is always the case the table decora- tions were among the most popular feat- ures of the show. The Popular Lectures. The popular lectures in the Coliseum A.nnex drew surprising crowds.

On November 1 and 2 the first annual exhibition of the Nassau County Horti- cultural Society was held, and proved in all respects a great success. The stage was artistically decorated by a choice collection of foliage plants from the Elsinore gardens, T. Harrison, gard- ener. Groups of foliage plants and 1492 The Weekly Florists' Review* NOVEMBEB 16, 1905. chry^ai^hemums occupied the cwter of '^ the hall, while arranged on side tables ? wera all the cut flowers', . fruits and veg- etables. In -the competition for ^oup of foli- age plants, Felix Mense won flrst, and Alexander Mackenzie, gardener to Percy Chubb, second. For a group of chrys- anthemums, A. Mackenzie was first and John F. Johnston, gardener to Paul Dana, was second. A. Mackenzie also staged some beautiful bush plants of chrysanthemums. In the classes for cut blooms of chrys- anthemums, A. Mackenzie stood pre-emi- nent, his exhibit in the class for twelve distinct varieties being superb. It was, however, closely followed by that of Geo. Ashworth, gardener to Walter Jennings, Cold Spring Harbor. Other chrysanthe- mum prize winners included Henry Matz, gardener to L. J. Busby; Valentine Sieves, gardener to F. S. Smithers; W. "WiUesen, gardyiez to H. F. Noyes; F. Mense and John F, Johnston. In the carnation classes, the successful competitors were P. Ewen; W. Eccles, gardener to J. H. Schiff, Oyster Bay; Fd. Boulon, Sea Cliff; W* Willesen, A. Mackenzie and Jas. tiolloway, In roses, A. Mackenzie was again prominent. Both double and single vio- let classes were w«ll represented, Jas. HoUoway, garaener to the Pratt Estate, and Fd. Boulon being successful exhib- itors. Fruit exhibits were large and, of course attractive, and the section for veg- etables brought out many competitors. A vase of Eobert Craig carnation, from the Cottage Gardens, Queens, L. I., was awarded • the society 's certificate of merit. William Anderson, South Lancaster, Mass.; John Scott, Brooklyn, and John McNichol, Lawrence, were the judges. J. T. J. Storing Roots. This has been such a fine fall, and very severe frost has kept off so that some may have left tender bulbs and roots in the ground. Others vinay have dug them up and got them as far as the potting shed. '"'Where to winter the roots may be k question with some. Growers of acres of gladioli or an acre of cannas have their root houses or frost-proof sheds, but many florists have only their greenhouses and boiler shed. We have kept gladiolus roots in excellent order in flats beneath a cool bench, or in the potting shed, where there was little or no heat from the furnace. We remem- ber putting several thousands in the base- ment of our dwelling, where there was a hot-water heater and, although it ap- peared cool, the bulbs were sadly shriv- eled by spring. Dahlia roots will do very well beneath a cool bench; in fact, where potatoes will winter, so will dahlias. Have it as cool as you like, but no frost. The canna is a very important plant nowadays, with all of us, and I have seen many lost through carelessness dur- ing winter. Lay down a floor of old boards beneath a carnation bench and there the canna roots will keep finely. The boards are very essential, for however dry the floor of ^our house may appear, it is moist enough to start them growing toward spring and the good strong eyes will break and grow and these are the eyes that would make your strong plants when potted. A drip from the bench is very injurious t(^^ canna roots and much of it will soon rot them, but from No- vember on to March the watering of the carnations should not be so copious as to catiite drip. We always found Caladium esculentum bulbs kept finely placed on the ground beneath a rose bench. They like the tem- perature and the small amount of mois- ture rising from the ground suits them. Lily of the Valley. Valley pips will soon be arriving and should be unpacked and put in their winter quarters without delay. Again I must say that large growers have their own cold-storage, and some of the large importing houses manage the storage business well, judging from results we have experienced late into the fall. The grower of 10,000 who forces them all be- tween New Year's and Easter needs no cold-storage, but keeps them on his place. The first thing to do after unpacking is to see that the roots are not dry. If at all dry, dip the little bundles of pips in a pail of water; roots, crown and all will not hurt for a few moments. The next thing is to have a number of boxes and pack away in each box as many as you will want to force weekly. They are pretty sure to be frozen and it is much handier to bring in the whole box and let it thaw out. These boxes should be two or tfiree inches deeper than the length of the roots and crowns. Put an inch of soil in the bottom of the box and then place in your bunches of roots un- til there is a row across the box. Then bank up against the roots an inch or so of soil and then begin with another row of the bundles, until you have in the number of pips j ou intend to bring in at once. Then cover the crowns with two inches of soil and they are ready to place in the frame. Sphagnum moss or sand may be just as good as soil for packing the roots, but we have found a loamy soil answers the pur- pose well. The frame should be cov- ered with sash or boards that will keep out the rain or melted snow because a continual wetting of the crowns is in- jurious to them. Some growers believe that freezing the pips is a necessity to successful forcing. It may be; anyway, let them freeze. You can bring in the whole box and let it thaw out in the shed. Hardy as the roots and crowns are we once saw a box with the pips unprotected exposed over night to 20 degrees of frost and in two days the pips were rotten. This was unnatural. Growing outdoors, these crowns are not above the ground but just beneath it, so that freezing and thawing are gradual, and so it will be under the conditions I have tried to de- scribe. Beauty for Pots. Those who planted some American Beauty plants in the spring, with a view to lifting them in the fall and forcing for Easter, should have them potted by the middle of the month. Some years ago we were so eminently successful in this operation thut if properly done we are convinced there is no grander rose for Easter forcing than American Beauty. No hybrid perpetual will give such fine or abundant bloom. After potting, a week indoors in a cool house will do no harm, but later a cold frame is the right place for them. Don 't prune them hard when you lift them. Leave the canes eighteen inches or two feet long. More severe pruning can and must be done when you bring them in to force. We have seen more than one fail- ure with these roses just because they were subjected to a hard freeze and the roots were almost dust dry. It was not the freezing that hurt them, but they could not stand it with their roots dry. It is a common fallacy that shrubs and trees like to be dry at the roots in cold weather. Our forests and orchards and nurseries all suffer when they go to sleep with their roots dry and so our fine batch of Beauties in 6-inch pots were ruined for the want of watering. Chrysanthetnums for Profit. I am not supposed to have anything to say about the glorious flower of autumn, which has brought us so many delights this past few weeks and is still with us, but in my somewhat lengthy career, I have never admired them more or taken a keener interest in what the public ad- mired and bought, and do think I can give the small commercial grower, re- tailer or wholesaler a little bread and butter advice. Make up your mind now which is the best half-dozen mums to grow and grow lots of them. It is per- haps a wil^ assertion, but I have noticed this year that with many small growers, if of all the mums grown, one-half were Ivory he would have been money in pocket. Your patrons will look at Nellie Pockett, or Princess, or Gen. Hutton and exclaim, ' ' How beautiful I ' ' but if they want a dozen it is Ivory they want. Let the other fellow grow the wonders and you stick to the commercial varieties. Geraniums. You should find time just now to give your young geraniums a "stand over." If you only give them the slightest more room, rub off the yellow leaves and above all stir up the surface of the soil, the im- provement in the growth will be wonder- ful. You have plenty of room now that your Ivory are all gone. William Scott. HANDLING CUT MUMS. We are having trouble with our chrysanthemums after they are cut; they wilt quickly and the flower hangs down over the stem. We cut our stock in the morning and send direct to the store, only a mile away. They are put into water right away and set in the ice-box. After they come out of the ice-box they begin to wilt. It is the same if we do not put them in the ice-box. Could it be that the stem is too hard and will not TFwiPf«pi??77«W5''P"'r''^'f«iwf"i^ WWlllNI,".llH»HH|PJ ll^"»)iW"l NOTBMBER 16, 1905. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1493 let the water up? Or do you thing we have kept them too wet on the bench and made them soft? Duckham seems to be troubled worse than any other. H. M. B. I would suggest that if, instead of cutting the flowers and shipping direct to the store, you cut them and leave them in water over night in a cool cellar or some such place, you would probably find that the flowers would stand up all right. The store is only a mile away and it would seem to me that if the ends of the stems were recut before the flowers were placed in water and the receptacle hold- ing the water was large enough to per- mit of the stems standing straight up, they should not wilt. Ice-box treatment, however, is not what a chrysanthemum likes, any more than a carnation. Keep them in a cool place and keep the stems straight, so that the water can be drawn quickly up the stem and there is no reason why a flower should not keep a week. It is true that some kinds, like Merza, have stems so hard that they want care- ful handling to get the water up the stem, but these kinds are not so numer- ous and W. Duckham is not one of them. Flowers that are to be shipped any distance should be in water forty-eight hours and when so treated can be shipped 1,000 miles and win prizes over stock grown at home and not allowed to soak up before being staged. C. H. Totty. BLIND WCX5D. I have a house of Bridesmaid and Ivory roses, some of which have made fair growth, but a large percentage of which come blind. I had the same trouble last year, which was my first ex- perience with roses. Part of them are on benches, with good drainage, and I have one solid bed which has eight inches drainage of broken stone, topped with cinders. The soil is a medium heavy clay sod, composted early last spring, with one part cow manure to four of sod. They were planted June 10, young plants from 3-inch pots on benches. The solid beds were planted with stock from benches which were forced last year and given four or five weeks' rest. I have been very careful with ventilation and heat. The temperature has been 58 to 60 degrees at night, with a crack of air when possible. I have been allowing the soil to become dry before watering and perhaps have been too extreme in this respect. "Would this cause the blind growth t Would it be best to cut the blind growth back to a good eye? How dry ought the soil get before watering? J. P. K. eral care of the house seems to be about right also, but care should be taken not to allow the branches to trail on the bench. Keep each shoot tied in an up- right position and do not feed with any material containing an excess of nitro- gen. Bather use a light top-dressing of lime, alternating with bone meal once in three weeks. I would not advise thinning out the Maids and Brides. It is sometimes bene- ficial to cut out the smaller wood of such varieties, as Ivory and Golden Gate, when the wood becomes too dense. Regarding watering, this is a very difficult subject to give advice on, as the many different classes of soil require special study to determine just how much moisture they will absorb and how long it is retained, but it is safe to keep the soil in such a condition that it will remain plastic and not crumble if squeezed in the hand. With the drain- age as described there is little danger of the soil becoming sodden, and when wa- tering is done the bench should be thor- oughly watered, so that it will be equally moist throughout. Kibes. GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. . Will the Gruss an Teplitz rose force for Easter as easily and as well as Ul- rich Brunner? A. R. Gruss an Teplitz can be forced into bloom for Easter, although it is not one of the best adapted for this class of work. By potting them now and plac- ing them in a temperature of 45 de- grees for a few weeks, until root action commences, and then gradually increas- ing the temperature until it reaches 52 degrees at night and 65 degrees in day- time during bright weather, fair results may be obtained. The worst trouble to contend with is in keeping the foliage in good shape as they are so subject to the attacks of mildew. By keeping a careful watch on their progress during the spring and using good judgment in raising or lowering the temperature as occasion requires, they can be brought into bloom for the occasion. Eibes. INSECTS AND BACTERIA. I am sending some carnation blooms and some cuttings. Please tell me what the trouble is. R. A. This question of a surplus of blind wood is very annoying and especially so to a beginner, as when the stock shows a tendency to this character of growth it is always a loss of a few weeks' time to bring it to a check. From a careful perusal of the letter I cannot find a sufficient single cause for the trouble, and think it must have arisen from more than one cause. The temperature is a little too high for this class of roses, 56 degrees at night being the ideal, and, whenever possible, with a good supply of air on. The compost is all right and the gen- You do not give enough data for any- one to form an intelligent opinion. Some varieties are in the habit of blasting a bud occasionally upon the least excuse, sudden check, for instance. Sometimes when plants are left out in the field until a heavy frost has oc- curred, the buds on the plants will par- tially develop and then rot the inner petals just as these two blooms have done. Sometimes thrips will cause it, but in that case you would find many blooms with the edges of the petals bruised. If you keep down these insect pests and keep your plants growing steadily it will no doubt disappear. The light spots on the cuttings are caused by bacteria. Opinions differ as to the cause of this trouble. All agree that it is a breaking-down of the cells in the leaf. Some claim that it is always caused by the sting of some insect, while others do not agree with that theory. We have seen many instances where a small batch of a variety was planted between other I'arieties and only that one variety would show it. The argument that the insects might be partial to that variety does not hold good, because every variety of carnation, when badly infest- ed with greenfly, will show similar spots and if one variety is so badly infested as to show so much of this spot the insect, if it is an insect, would most likely be operating on the neighboring varieties, too, I do not mean to deny that in many cases it may be brought on by insects; in fact, I know it is, but I do maintain that it is not always the case. Varieties that are in the habit of showing these light spots every win- ter during the dark days invariably grow entirely out of it in the spring, when the sun becomes stronger and the days longer. While, on the other hand, if you allow your plants to become in- fested with aphis at any time of the year, the leaves will bear these marks. I am not prepared, however, to ad- vance any theory as to their origin, ex- cept that it is a sickly condition of the plants. Possibly the insufficient light causes the plant to become unable to assimilate the food brought to it by the ^Pf , i»^TT -^-'^^fl:;^^"-^■^;^T'' T T'.Vl^'"- »W^ ^»«f-y»««# -■■.p-uTur-pi^- vrnfJ^T"*^* liJl^TWVT."^!^^ ^"Vwt>-^-^? -^T. •y.,.;-f^m^!yrv^;fI,^;Tyny»Tf^irT.»^2-*,;ir J494 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ November 16, 1905. roots. We know that when the soil is kept slightly on the dry side and the soil is not extremely rich there is much less of this bacteria than there is when heavy feeding and liberal watering are practiced. I think that all this goes to show that the trouble is an internal one and not brought on by the sting of insects. A. F. J. Baur. PHILADELPHIA. The Market The demand for violets noted last week continued until Saturday^ when the wholesale houses were sold out. It was reported, however, that some of the retailers overbought, but the market this week has been fairly steady. Hud- son river violets brought even more than quoted prices for some extra fine stock. Boses are fairly plentiful. Beauties have fallen a little in price but the quality of all varieties is improving, some real- ly magnificent stock being offered. Car- nations are more plentiful and, except- ing in the case of fine stock, prices rule lower. Really fine stock, however, finds a market at very good figures. Im- mense quantities of chrysanthemums are sold at prices a little lower than those listed, the supply being too heavy at times for the demand. The leading var- ieties this week are Mrs. Jerome Jones, both white and yellow; Timothy Eaton, Avhite and yellow ; Maj. Bonna£fon, white and yellow ; Maud Dean, pink, and G. W. Childs, red, in limited quantites. Orchids are a little easier in price, and in good demand. Gardenias have ad- vanced slightly. The Leo Niessen Co. has pansies. Their specialists in this line have put in a telephone and can be depended upon to meet any reasonable demand. Paper Whites are very fine; Romans have made their appearance. Both these were seen at W. J. Baker's. Calla lilies are coming in just in time to replace the Easter lilies, which seem likely to go off crop. Asparagus is good and very plentiful. W. E. McKissick is making a specialty of sprays in bunches. A Walnut HiU Wedding. Hugh Graham had a very elaborate wedding decoration last Thursday, which^j was of more than usual interest. The bridal canopy was made entirely of ferns and white orchids, presumably Dendro- bium formosum. The house was lavish- ly decorated with white chrysanthemums throughout, only the choicest flowers be- ing used. The porches were decorated with oak leaves, the dining-room with American Beauty roses. The whole ef- fect was extremely handsome. A Beautiful Showcase. H. H. Battles' showcase this week contained a flower picture in a gilt frame, on one side a bunch of the blue orchids, Vanda cserulea, on the other a bunch of Perle des Jardins roses. The combination of soft blue and yellow was very effective. On each side of the frame were bunches of Adiantum Farleyense, with a green sash matching in color thrown carelessly across the front. The effect was exquisite. Varioui Notes. The Chrysanthemum Society of Amer- ica elected William Duckham, Madison, N. J., president; William Kleinheinz, Philadelphia, vice-president; David Era- ser, Pittsburg, secretary, and John N. May, Summit, N. J., treasurer. A wag said that Philadelphia had a great opportunity to look over the chrys- anthemum kings from Head to Foote. The Millbrook-Lee Greenhouses made a very fine carnation exhibit at the show. Queen Louise, Enchantress, Mrs. Lawson, and Mrs. Patten are their best varieties. Myers & Samtman sent in a vase of their new pink seedling rose to show on Thursday. It was much admired. William J. Muth was greatly delighted with the violet exhibit at the show. The bunching especially pleased him. The Flower Market held a special meeting last Tuesday, in the secretary's room at Horticultural hall. The number of the directors was reduced from nine to five. The officers elected by the di- rectors for the ensuing year were: Pres- ident, W. K. Harris; secretary, Alfred Bergen; treasurer, Charles ll. Meehan. The other directors are David Rust and J. W. Young. R. G. Palmer has accepted a position with Eugene Bernheimer. William K. Harris considers Ivory and Maj. Bonnaffon as two of the best chrys- anthemums grown today. The Germantown Horticultural Society held the November meeting last Mon- day. There was a good exhibit of chrysanthemums. The remedies for in- sects were discussed. The Chestnut Hill Horticultural So- ciety held the annu^} chrysanthemum show on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. It was a very fine exhibition. Robert A. Stewart has his new store on Thirteenth street, below Walnut, in nice running order. Sweet violets and orchids are his specialties. The Century Flower Shop is making a specialty of pot chrysanthemums this week. Frank Gaul, the manager, claims that they have sold more Uncle Theo- dore than any place in town. F. L. Polites divides his show window between pigs and Uncle Theodore. Both are great seed germinators. A. B. Cartledge is enjoying a week's shooting in the south. B. Stahl, of Eleventh street, above Chestnut, had an order for Bremen, Ger- many. It was well filled by the German florist, so well that the recipient did not know what' to do with all the flowers. Mr. Stahl says a dollar goes three times as far in Germany as it does here. Potter & Knott, of Fox Chase, are our pioneer pansy specialists. J. Henry Bartram, of Lansdowne, has earned a place in the big six Beauty growers. Wm. Berger has some wonderfully fine chrysanthemum seedling flowers. J. N. King, of Norristown, reports business excellent. Bowling. The second and concluding scries of games in the tri-city match was rolletl on the Casino alleys November 8. Wash- ington, which was third in the first se- ries, wins the Pennoek cup by a (Jarri- son finish. The scores follow: Washington. 1st 2. agent's bef-t style. Prof. Hopwood presided at the piano and sang songs of his own compositio'.). Mrs. John P.

Plumb, Scott, Nugent, Wallace, David Smith and Butterfield wore all in fine voice. Various Notes. A new wholesale house opens this week William Ghormley. at 08 West Twenty-ninth street, to be known as the Dutchess County Violet Co. Although intending to handle all kinds of cut flowers, violets will be the specialty. The members of the firm are Wm. Gaston Donaldson, of Barrytown, N. Y.; C. A. Plumb and M. A.'^Purdy, of New York City. Mr. Plumb will be the New Yprk representative and Mr. Purdy, who has had considerable expe- rience in the wholesale cut flower busi- ness, will be the manager. Slinn & Thompson are among the largest handlers of violets in the New York wholesale market, daily average now over 30,000. On their staff of ship- pers are some of the best of the Rhine- beck expertp. It was the Thos. Young Co. that had the first wedding in the new St. Thomas church. The John Young Co. is not in the retail business, as incorrectly stated in my last letter. Reed & Keller liavc a great line of novelties and inventions for the Thanks- giving and Christmas holidays. Arthur T. Boddington reports a fine demand for his Easter flowering glad- ioli. Thomas H. Jackson, at one time in the flower business on Lexington ave- nue, is now in charge of the Cut Flower Exchange and is making a reputation that the officials of the market are proud of. Millang, Bonnet, Smith and Sie- brecht are on deck daily from six to six at the Exchange, and seem to be always busy. Harry Hoffmeyer met with a painful accident last Monday, the breaking of a large jar of mums cutting his arm seri- ously. Donohoe, on West Twenty-ninth street, liad the family orders for the funerals of C. Gray Dinsmore and Mrs. Demming last week. Palls of violets, valley and white roses alone aggregated over $1,000 in value. The Department of Parks of the City of New York has awarded the contract tor the following greenhouses to John A. Scollay: Two orchid houses, one aquatic house, one stove house, located at Pros- pect park, also two plant houses, 15x200 each, at Forrest park, and the installing of a new steam heating apparatus in the offices of the Park Department for the Borough of Brooklyn, in the Litchfield mansion. The above work embodies using four of the largest size Scollay Invinci* ble boilers. Very few New Yorkers attended the chrysanthemum show at Philadelphia last week. Henry Dailledouze was there, and C. B. Weathered. The lady who dropped her opera fj^lasses on President Traendly at the Wier-Smith festivities in a Brooklyn theater last week gave as her excuse for nervousness her discovery of the hand- somest man in the audience and the modest wholesaler blushingly forgave her. But it was a narrow escape for the genial ' * Prex ' ' and his " O ! such a head- ache " had an excellent reason all the week after. He is now convalescent. The election brought some ducats to the retail florists, quite a demonstration being made in honor of some of the win- ning candidates. Over in Brooklyn Davy Meliis proved his title to the ' ' floral blaeksniith ' ' in the horse-shoe line with some elaborate effects. Friends of Thos. Sharkey, of the Thos. Young Co.. will be glad to hear of his recovery from a severe illness of several weeks ' duration. Prince Louis, of Battenberg, and his sliip are the lions of the week. Monday he attended the horse show and society and the plebeian host crowded the big garden to the walls.

THE BEST SCARLET CARNATION. ■ y. Mention The Review when you write. and dinners and receptions have kept many of the florists busy in decora,tion8^ his every movement being to the advan- tage of the market. Fred Atkins, of Bobbipk & Atkins, was elected councilman on the republican ticket last week, at East Rutherford, by a good safe majority and, no recount will be demanded. J. Austin Shaw. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The market weakened perceptibly last week and opened on Monday in a state of more or less depression. The total of business foots up ifairly well but the de- mand lacks the snap it has had for the past two or three weeks. Last week the retailers were in search of novelties and fancy stock for their displays at the flower show, but business was light local- ly. Shipping demand called largely for fancy stock for exhibition purposes. A week of beautiful weather had the result of increasing receipts to a percept- ible extent and weakened prices, par- ticularly on the lower grades, which are always the first affected. Chrysanthe- mums have been very abundant and are selling at moderate prices. It has been possible to clean out each day and whole- salers in general are satisfied with the business. The stock most in demand at present is that which sells at about $1.50 per dozen. American Beauties are of splendid quality and the supply is equal to the demand. The best long stock, the kind people want for flower show purposes, with stems five feet long, brings as high as $5 per dozen. Roses have felt the stimulating effect of the sun, have im- proved in color and substance, and teas are much more plentiful than a week ago. The market has weakened in this depart- ment to a greater extent than elsewhere, with the possible exception of chrysanthe- mums. Richmond sells better than Liberty. Carnation cuts are slowly increasing, but prices are still held firmly and the average returns must be a source of much pleasure to the growers. A change to cold weather on Monday will serve to check production again. Violets have been in light supply this week, doubtless due to horse show activ- itiep in New York, but the demand has not been large. Quality now leaves little to be asked. Valley is in demand but up to the requirements. There is little call for Harrisii or callas. Some fine Paper Whites and Romans are seen. There is an active market for green goods, including practically everything on the list. A new addition to the popular items is boxwood sprays. These are being used to make wreaths, where galax was formerly employed, and are also used like Sprengcri for filling in all sorts of floral arrangements. Thankssiving. All the growers talk of good crops for Thanksgiving but, in view of the con- ditions which have prevailed for a month, if a word to the wise is sufficient, buy- ers will not be slow to place orders. There is little chance of carnations being plentiful and roses are likely to command higher prices than advance quotations un- leiMjyj^ie weather is favorable. Quality win doubtless be good all along the line. Various Notes. Chicago is well represented at the Kan- sas City show this week. Among those who are there are George Asmus, P. J, Hauswirth, Leonard Kill, N. J. Wietor, J. Q. A. TurnbuU aud Phil Shoup, the latter of Budlong's, who will visit cus- tomers in St. Louis, Louisville and other cities before returning. C. M. Dickinson went to St. Paul Mon- day night to take a look at John Mon- son 's new rose at home. It is anticipated that E. H. Hunt will introduce this novel- ty next spring. The Garland family at Des Plaines, Sol, Warren and Frank, are right in line with chrysanthemums. Their crop is of medium size sorts and Percy Jones, who manages the cut, says it sells much more quickly than the larger grades. C. N. Thomas, of the A. L. Randall Co., was one of the jurymen in the O'Neill breach of promise case which has occupied so large a share of public attention the past ten days. A. L. Vaughan is on duty but suffer- ing from stomach trouble. C. L. Washburn says that Bassett & Washburn were among the considerable number who imported stock 'of the new red rose, Etoile de France. But he says they do not like it. The buds are nearly all bull heads. P. J. Hauswirth took time from his flower show duties last week to put up the decoration for the Commercial Club's banquet at the Auditorium Saturday night. Mrs. Frank Beu is again at her stand in the market after having spent the summer in Europe. Kennicott Bros. Co. is mailing its new catalogue, listing wire work and a large line of supplies, witli an interesting page on peonies. Mrs. Oscar Weber died November 10. She was known in the market as Tinie Tebbins and was married and left busi- ness only six months ago. The Republic Floral Co., 209 State street, will open about December 1. Emil Buettner is indignant. While en- joying a little ramble in his automobile Sunday afternoon a policeman stepped in front of his machine and Mr. Buettner, in order not to seem discourteous, had to stop and be arrested, charged with speed- ing. He says he will take the case to the highest court rather than pay a fine, for he wasn 't going fast. Those who know Mr. Buettner 's conservative ways will be inclined to believe the policeman exag- gerates. L. Baumann & Co. are very busy ship- ping Christmas orders. They say that business is good in all departments. John Zech was busy last week, between Zech & Mann's affairs, the flower show and the church fair at Rose Hill, for which Mr. Zech published the program and in which many florists took part. The Moninger Co. is already running on the bars for the Poehlmann Bros. Co. addition for next spring. Part of the material is to be delivered during No- vember and December. As stated in the Rkview several weeks ago, this is to be the largest single addition ever built by the Poehlmann Bros. Co., the plans call- ing for a total of 280,000 square feet of new glass. The E. F. Winterson Co. recently made a good sized shipment of stock for a Avedding decoration at Manchester, N. H, The distance is 1,300 miles but the stock is reported to have arrived in per- fect condition. Joe Foerster, manager of Georgfe Rein- berg 's city salesroom, says that last sea- son cannot long be referred to as their best season if they have a few more months like October and the first half of November. A. L. Randall Co. finds shipping trade holding very steady. They are handling large quantities of New York violets ' again this year. C. W. McKellar reports a very active demand for cattleyas this week. BALTIMORE. The Market Business in cut flowers has been so changeable since the last report that one can hardly realize the irregular con- ditions of .the market. Saying that chrysanthemums are plentiful is putting it mildly; they have been a glut the past two weeks and in order to move them in any quantity one had to give special low figures. Roses have also been more plentiful and quite a num- ber were carried over, which the next day would go to the street men, and that means low prices. Carnations seem to be the only flower that has been short in supply, which is not often the case at this season of the year, when chrysanthemums can be had in any quantity and of almost every grade. Best single and double violets can be had at 60 cents per hundred and more could be handled. There are enough greens to meet the demand. Various Notes. H. Reinhardt, of Orangeville, has opened a flower store on Eastern ave- nue, Highlandtown, under the name of the Reinhardt Floral Co. A. F. MoartisoN, III. — This city has a num- ber of cucumber growers whose com- bined area is five acres imder glass and the average daily output in the winter is tiiree wagon-loads of cucumbers. Chas. D. Gallentine has built a new range of houses and has just completed a 90-foot chimney. w^ffifiKifpmtifm^KJM '"iw^J* !• JIM ,".!»n 1. jfl^i^^. }ff,v^^mm "f-p^ » !W-' ■•■•"«';' w-tw','?'*'.' w*^. - , r ^»" KoTEMBEK 16, lOOS.

The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. Long Distance Phones CLEVELAND, OHIO CLEVELAND. The Market The prices of cut flowers remain about the same as quoted last week, but with a better demand and everything cleaned up before closing time. Stock, as seen at the wholesale houses, is improving iil both quality and quantity. Variota Notes. The Essex Greenhouses are sending some very fine carnations to the Cleve- land Cut Flower Co. and they are al- ways ordered in advance. Their early mums are all cut, and it will be a week or more before they will be able to ship the large and finer varieti«8 that they have grown so successfully in past sea- sons. Mr. Kennedy, who now has charge of this place, as manager, assisted by Mr. Merriman, is highly pleased at the way everything is growing on the place, and they both expect good cuts from now on. Anderson Bros., of Rocky Biver, are cutting some very fine Enchantress and white carnations. Mr. Simon Anderson was with the Gasser Co. for many years, having charge of the carnation houses, where he grew some of the finest carna- tions seen in the Cleveland market. Bobert Kegg, of Eocky Biver, is cut- ting good mums and carnations, and his houses are in fine condition for the com- ing season of hard work. Andrews Bros., on Detroit street, Lakewood, are changing their plant from hot water to steam, and expect to get much better results the coming season. Their houses are filled with carnation plants and present indications are for a good cut. Collins & Harrison report business good, with orders booked for fujture work. The Gasser Co. has a very fine window display of mums. Business is good with them. The florists in both arcades say that last week's business was fine and shows a decided improvement over the previous week. Smith & Fetters' Opetuxig. Last Tuesday and Wednesday, No- vember 7 and 8, saw one of the finest retail flower shows we have ever had, when Smith & Fetters gave their annual fall opening in their new store. The dis- play was magnificent, and the attendance was most gratifying. This store, with its handsome decorations of green, gold and white, was a fitting setting for the stock shown. The window was exceed- ingly well dressed both days. The back of the window was draped with Nile green velvet, caught back vrith large parrots. Large baskets of cattleyas and Sprengeri were suspended between the arches. Huge vases of chrysanthemums tied with ribbon made a fine background for the violets, valley and orchids ar- ranged in fancy baskets and vases that decorated the front of the window. The long mirrors were artistically decorated with sprays of cattleyas and Sprengeri. The large center ice-box had a beautiful fall decoration of com, and the skylights were screened with oak branches. The table decorations were much ad- mired. One was a dinner decoration of Bonnaffons and violets arranged with tall vases and sprays of Bonnaffons and corsages of violets. The sprays were tied with yellow and orange ribbon, in all one of the most stunning effects for this time of the year. The other table was arranged vrith a large silver loving cup, filled with the Killamey rose, with corsages of the same, tied with pink satin ribbon. This table, while not so elaborate, was charmingly simple and artistic' Bassett & Washburn, -of Chicago, sent as a compliment some of the finest mums ever seen in this city. F. B. & P. M Pierson, of Tarrytown, sent a large buneh of their finest long-stemmed Beau ties. Beep Bros., Caspar Aul, the Cleve land Cut Flower Co., Wm. Lee & Son, C Hagenburger, H. Carleton, J. Wilson, A, Schmitt, C. Merkel & Son and Bobt, Kegg, of this city, sent beautiful chryS' anthemums and plants to show their ap preciation of the efforts of this firm. This firm has three weddings and nu- merous luncheons and dinners on hand for this week. Thompsonville, Conn. — D. W. Brai- nard is building a new greenhouse 26x60 feet. ToPEKA, Kan. — The ladies of the West Side Forestry Club held a very success- ful chrysanthemum show last week, the proceeds to go toward inlproving a small public park. The exhibits were sold. Marshall, Mo. — The Marshall Floral Co., Imanuel Wittrup, manager, has bought the entire stock and greenhouses of D. H. Heskett & Son. The two places will be operated separately this winter, but next summer both will be rebuilt in one first-class establishment of about 17,000 feet of glass. •Ty.'TT ^ T^''^^'^ '*r-' F'»^.'XT7'.«-5e«jnr'f7» NOTBMBEB 16, 1906.

Mention The ReTlew when yon write. __^___ ONCaNNATL The Market Business the past week was very good and was generally distributed among all branches of the trade. Several first- class decorations used up a large quan- tity of stock. Funeral work also was in good demand. The wholesale houses were kept cleaned out of almost every- thing save mums. Mums are selling well this year and bringing prices that are very satisfac- tory. This market is well supplied with all kinds. The best sellers are those that can be had from $8 to $12.50 per hun- dred. The very large varieties move slowly. There are large quantities of small, bunched mums for work and, while there is a very good demand for this kind of stock, yet the supply is so heavy that it is hard to move them all. Boses continue to improve in quality. Beauties are especially fine and sell fast. Carnations, though still scarce, are com- ing more plentifully. They sell well and at good price^i. Prospects are for a fine Christmsw crop. Yalley is in good demand and scarce. Violets, also, are scarce and selling quickly. Green goods are not very plentiful, with a good de- mand. The Show. Our annual chrysanthemum show was held November 11. There was not as much stock on exhibition as is usual, owing no doubt to the number of large shows taking place in this section of the country this week. Nevertheless, the quality was there and the 5,000 people who viewed the show went away well pleased. Richard Witterstaetter made his usual good display. Besides several vases of fciely finished mums, he staged many vases of carnations in fine form. His Aristocrat was worth going a long way to see. Among other varieties staged were J. A. Valentine, a light pink which has been heard of before; No. 1021 J 1, scarlet ; No. 1021 1 2, dark pink; LilUan May, white; No. 102114, a medium shade of pink, and No. 1003 C, shell pink. George & Allan staged several vases of nicely grown stock. H. T. Schmidt, of Oxford, staged two vases of mums, which did him great credit. Chas. Pfeiffer exhibited a vase of very finely grown Appleton. Geo. Bayer, of Toledo, sent twenty-five blooms of Bonnaffon, right up to the best. The prizes were awarded as follows: Twelve blooms white, H. Schmidt, first ; R. Witterstaetter, second; George & Al- lan, third. Twelve pink, H. Schmidt, first; E. Witterstaetter, second; George & Allan, third. Twelve yellow, Chas. Pfeiffer, first; E. Witterstaetter, second and third. Twenty-five Bonnaffon, E. Witter- staetter, first; Geo. Bayer, second. Best general display, B. Witterstaet- ter, first. Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich., sent a seedling to be passed upon by the chrysanthemum committee. It was a fine exhibition variety, very large bloom, fine form, incurved, white shading to pink in the center. It was named President Eoosevelt. The judges of the show were E. Sun- derbruch and C. E. Critchell. The prize blooms were sold for the benefit of the society. The regular monthly meeting was held in the evening. Ben George and J. W. Eodgers bpth asked for the endorsement of the society for the position of park superintendent under the new adminis- tration. After some discussion the so- ciety decided to keep out of politics. Variotu Notes. Thomas Win drum has just returned from a hunting trip in Florida and re- ports having had a fine time. George Walker and George Murphy are going on a hunting trip next week. Ben George was in Louisville, acting as judge at the show last week. J. A. Peterson went up to the Chicago show. C. J. Ohhkr. BOSTON. The Market It is rather hard to give the exact status of the market, as it has been so va- riable of late, some days good and others druggy. On the whole, however, it shows an improvement over a year ago. Chrys- anthemums are now arriving in less num- ber and, with these removed, prices on other stock will improve quickly. Prices remain about the same on chrysanthe- mums, except on white/, which are in rather short supply. Some growers are now holding back supplies for Thanks- giving. Eoses are in abundant supply. Best grades sell fairly well, but many of the smaller sizes are sold very low. Car- nations hold their heads up well and even show a slightly hardening tendency. Violets are abundant and of fine qual- ity, at last week's quotations. A little bulbous stock is coming in and rather more stevia is seen. Asparagiis and adiantum are unchanged. Various Notes. The chrysanthemum show brought in the usual large influx of gardeners and florists from a distance, quite a number coming from other states. A fire at N. F. McCarthy & Co. 's estab- lishment at 84 Hawley street, damaged sundries to the extent of $700 on Novem- ber 7. Considerable interest is being taken in the coming election of trustees of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society on November 18. Among others W. H. El- liott is one of the regular nominees, while Peter Fisher and A. H. Fewkes are run- ning as independents. The exhibition to be given by the Amer- ican Eose Society next March promises to far eclipse the one held last March. More special prizes than ever will be offered and a magnificent show is assured. Galvin is receiving some extra fine Zy- gopetalum Mackaii from Eeed, of Whit- man. He had a very attractive window of orchids the past week, which included Vanda ceerulea, cattleyas, Epidendrum ^^"W^jPTa^TSIir; '7T<-viTw«r^ ^T ^'j^ryV^^^rWy^^^Tf^ffHiT NOVEMBEB 16, lOOS.

Bobert Montgomery is selling some splendid Bride, Maid and Liberty roses at the new market. He is also trying a few Richmond, which are doing well. A rousing meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club is assured for Novem- ber 21. In addition to Prof. Watson's lecture and the annual election of officers, there are other attractions which should draw an attendance of over 100. A con- siderable accession of new members will again be one of the features. A good number of chrysanthemum plants are seen at the stores and markets at present. With few exceptions they are not well grown, being of a poorer shape and carrying very little foliage. Plants are usually field-grown and potted up in September. If the growers would keep them in pots all the time or plant in a greenhouse bench and pot up with good balls, some presentable plants might be seen.

The prospects for the seed trade in the southwest are unusually bright this ; season. The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, is enlarging its dealing in flower seeds in wholesale quantities. Sears, Boebuck & Co., Chicago, gen- eral mail order house, are offering flo- rists and seedsmen a surplus list of bulbs. From Sedalia, Mo., comes word of the incorporation of Archias Seed Store, L. H. Archias president, L. A. Kipping rice-president, L. Archiaa secretary. Onion growers in the vicinity of Bloomington, 111., have become discour- aged because of repeated crop failures and very few gardeners here will plant onions next year. Bethlehem township, Clark county, Indiana, is the great sunflower-seed pro- ducing locality, the yield this year ap- proximating 100 tons. Edward S. and Charles E. Pemett handle the bulk of the product of the community. Jerome B. Bice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y., is distributing a pamphlet con- taining descriptions of the leading va- rieties of onions with half-tone illustra- trations. They say Southport Bed Qlobe is the only red onion to grow for profit. The flat varieties of seed used for onion set growing are scarce enough, ac- cording to reports, to warrant the fol- lowing prices for good-size quantities: Yellow, $1; red, $1.10; white, $1.40. Smaller lotis go at an advance of 10 cents per pound. Watkins & Simpson, London, say that two years' experience has confirmed them in the belief that there is a great want of high class half-tones for Ulustrating seed catalogues. They have just issued their third catalogue of such illustra- tions. It is a fine piece of printing. The seedsmen from whom the U. S. Department of Agriculture bought those lots of adulteAted clover and grass seed with one voice arise to explain that they bought that seed from so and so, and that they didn't know it was mixed. Why didn't they know! S. Albilson, of the L. L. Olds Seed Co., Clinton, Wis., says that "After some years' experience we find large ap- propriations and a large number of pa- pers of general circulation do not net in returns anything like what it did a few years ago, that is, for the simount of money expended. At the present time we think it best not to increase the appro- priation and to use only those papers that we find paid in direct returns." LEONARD SEED growers Leading Onion Set p-^wfd ^^\.

Mention Tlie Review when yon write. FoET Smith, Abe. — The flower show held in Lee's seed store, November 9 to 11, by the ladj managers of the Belle Point Hospital, for the benefit of the hospital, was a decided success, this be- ing the third annual flower show held there. Thebx is no let np to the demand for dependable stocks of the Globe onions. Seed of these varieties is in active de- mand at $2.50 to $3 per pound. Be- ports from the localities where onion growing for market is scientifically prac- ticed prove that growers there will p^y fancy prices for the reliable article. As reported in the BEvmw some time ago, there is quite a quantity of the canners' varieties available for seed in the hands of people not formerly grow- ers of seed sweet com, but who were led into growing it on account of the high price two years ago. This fact, it is thought, will have considerable bear- ing upon the price of sweet com next spring. It is reported that many of the onion set dealers are oversold. The cleaning up process and a general rounding up of the quantities supposed to be still avail- able shows a shortage where a surplus was thought to exist. January shipments are likely to show a still greater short- age, as the sets now in the warehouses are bound to shrink more than usual on account of the dry rot in the whites and a sprouting in the yellows and reds.

The farm- ers report that the fall has been an un- usually good one for thrashing and that very little loss has taken place while the beans have been in the straw. They feel that all the beans there were at harvest time will show up in good shape after passing through the thrasher. A con- siderable shrink is often caused by rainy weather after harvest and it is fortunate that this will not be the case this year. With the completion of the new four- story brick warehouse now in course of erection, the Texas Seed & Floral Co., Dallas, will considerably widen their operations. They will have half an acre of floor space, side track, power cleaning machinery, etc. The first floor will be used for storing heavy field seeds and shipping heavy freight orders. The sec- ond floor will be used for mail and ex- press orders and the general offices. The third floor will be for the storage of implements, poultry and bee keepers' supplies and reserve stock. The fourth floor for the storage of seeds and sun- dry supplies. ^r'lf,:^: ^'»".'iS)»:> Tf^Ci^yr'ff' . ^«^3».*T?7,i>""\ft 1504 TheWcekly Horiste' Review. NOVEUBBB 16, 1905. SEED IMPORTED. - The U. S.

' - The Market The past week was a tryiog one for the locf^ florists. Quite a number report a big week's business and the show kept them on the jump during the day and evening. Stock at the wholesale houses IS fairly plentiful, especially chrysanthe- mums and roees. The fancy grades of mums are coming in much more freely, while the poorer grades are plentiful. They move slowly at cheap prices. Among the best seen are Eaton, Pink Ivory, Mme. Perrin, Col. Appleton and Duekham. Only the special grades bring $4 per dozen. Carnations are selling quite well, though handicapped by the increased quantity of mums. Some extra fine stock of Mrs. Lawson, Enchantress, Boston Market, Lady Bountiful and Estelle can be had. Boses, too, are in fine shape but sold very slowly the past week. Beauty, Bichmond, Bride and Maid are included. California and double violets have a big call and are about the only clean sell- ers at present.. Prices on extra fancy single go up to 75 cents per hundred. Ulj of the valley has some call, but plenty of it is in the market. Smilax is selling slow. Other greens are plentiful. Various Notes. The Shaw banquet was given tmder the will of the late Henry Shaw, by trus- tees of the Missouri Botanic Garden, Wednesday evening, November 8, at the Mercantile Club, to florists, nurserymen and market gardeners. The banquet hall was neatly decorated by Fred Pope, Cov- ers were laid for 100 and Prof. Wm. Trelease was toast-master. The following florists were in attendance: J. F. Am- mann, C. A. Kuehn, A. Jablonsky, Emil Schray, R J. FilliBor«, E. F. Xesscm, Phil Oieble and J. J'. Beneke. Ths iaa-sta responded to were "The Gardens," by Oaorge E. McClure; "The Florist," by President J. F. Ammann; "The Nur- seryman, " by E. A. Biehl, of Alton, 111. ; "The Pomologist, " L. A. Goodman, president of the American Pomological Society; "The Market Gardener," by L. C. Davis, of Old Orchid, Mo.; "The Fed- erated Interests," by Prof. H. C. Irish, of the National Council of Horticulti^e ; "School Gardens," by Prof. W. J. Stevens; "Playgrounds," by Gerard Swope, and * * General Civic Work, "by Henry T. Kent, president of the Civic Improvement League. The banquet Vras voted the best given in years. The Missouri Botanic Garden is ^ving a chrysanthemum show at the garden, to which the public is invited free. George Waldbart made a grand dis- play, of chrysanthemums the past week at his place on Grand avenue, which at- tracted a great deal of attention from passersby attending the local show. A. Jablonsky is sending in a fine lot of carnations and roses. Henry Braun, his foreman, says that his stock is as fine as any of the stock shipped from Chicago and other points. • f, ' Swan Peterson, of Gibson City, HI., had on exhibition during the show a fine lot of seedling carnations. Joseph F. Dickmann, formerly of the firm of Dustard & Dickmann, seedsmen, is now in the real estate business. Harry Young, Will Young, W. J. Pilcher and W. E. Burrows, who visited Chicago l^t week, were much impressed with what the^^ saw at the fiower show in that city. Arthur Ellisijn left Tuesday for Kan- sas City to stage their entries made for the show there this week. On Friday during the flower show, the Beview, bringing the news of the Chi* cago show, was eagerly looked over by Adolph Poehlmann, Joe Hill and Alex Wilson to see how they came out at the big Chicago show. Each one was sup- plied with a copy of the big issue. The florist bowlers lost three games November 7 to the Hyde Parks. The last two were lost by six pins. Bad splits in each game lost the match to the flo- rists. Meinhardt and Kuehn were high, vnth 547 each. Ellison came next, 522; Beneke, 467, and Lohrenz 453. Novem- ber 14 they met the Kerns. J. J.

The Market The past week was quite strenuous with most of the retailers, Randolph & McClements, Mrs. E. A. Williams and A. W. Smith having all thej could possibly do and the other retailers coming in a close second, debutantes claiming most of the attention. The wholesale houees have been handling large quantities of chrysanthemums and such other good stock as they have been able to get. On the whole it has been a very satisfactory week. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. says it handled more chrysanthemums last week than any week since it has been in business, although prices have not been what they should have been. Various Notes. E. C. Ludwig has been rushing things in the Allegheny market. His daily show of mums is worth a trip to the market any time and some of the stock is finer than the average show stock. Last Tuesday evening was club night and, although it was state election night, the meeting was the best and the attend- ance the largest for a long time. Chrys- anthemums were the topic and a beauti- ful display of blooms was made. Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich., showed a very handsome lot and several varieties, Buch as Brighthurst, Mayor Weaver, a pink of the Maud Dean type; Launona, white, and a new yellow without a label, promise to be important additions. Chal Peterson, of East Liverpool, was at the meeting with his new Yellow Queen. It is the exact Queen type, only yellow in color and is a sport from Queen. Mr. Peterson gave a practical demonstration of his method of making cuttings, which was interesting. A handsome collection of pompons was shown by Thos. Meehan & Sons, of Philadelphia, which Mr. Fal- coner recommended to the growers, and especially the private gardeners, as good things to have, as they make a bright spot in the garden when all other flowers are gone. He does not grow them himself for the reason that out where he is they have so much smoke that by the time they come into bloom they are all one color in Pittsburg. Fred Burki displayed Eaton, white and yellow; Maud Dean, Chadwick, Bon- naffon. Ivory and several others which on the authority of Mr. Randolph were the best commercial varieties and sizes shown. C. Goodwin & Sons, of Bridge- ville, showed a vase of smaller stock, in- cluding their Pearl, which is much like Ivory and a splendid thing. Mr. Jenkinson had a collection of blooms from pot plants which were grand. His vase of carnations, with stems eighteen inches long, was as fine as we expect to see this season. Mr. Hatch, gardener for D. McClemson, showed mums which were fine, also a collection of orchid blooms which were especially fine and interested everyone and caused some discussion as to whether Pittsburg could support an orchid grower, which was taken up by W. A. Clarke, who de- clared without hesitation that there is a market here for the right varieties. John Jones, of Schenley park, was there with the goods fine as silk, the finest varieties and blooms, but even that is only part of it; you need to see John handle them, and if you are observing and notice the love touches and the coy way he peeps into his flowers you will Cyclone r»r r I add "snap'' to flower decoraticms.

In response to a question as to the value and eflBcacy of electric light in l)romoting the growth of vegetables, W. W. Rawson stated, at a recent meeting of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, that he has made use of it for seven or eight years and has found that it im- proved the quality and increased the pro- duction of vegetables grown under glass. He used it mostly on days in which there is a lack of sunshine and in the winter season when the nights are long. He estimates that it increases the growth fifteen per cent and appears to be of greater benefit to a crop of cucumbers than to lettuce. VEGETABLE PLANTS. I should be glad to have you tell me something about the use and manage- ment of hotbeds for raising early vege- table plants. O. C. The best time to prepare hotbeds is the month of February. The exact date will depend on location and weather to •A certain extent. Should the weather he severely cold, it is better to wait until it moderates a little, so as not to waste too much of the heat given oflf by the heating medium. The best material is litter from the horse stable. This should be piled up and turned over two or three times before making up the hot- bed, so as to have the whole well mixed to insure an even heat. If dry, it should be moderately moistened. A pit sunk to a depth of about four feet is the best place for the bed. Here it will retain the heat better than if made above ground, or it may be partly sunk and partly over ground, if desired. The material should be put in in lay- ers and each layer well firmed. The firmer the whole is made, the better it will retain the heat. The frame should be put over the bed a few days after making up and a thermometer inserted in the material to indicate the tempera- ture. "When this falls to about 80 de- grees, cover over with about three inches of soil. Let it remain so for a few days, until the temperature has fallen to about 70 degrees; then the seeds may safely be sown. We prefer to sow in flats, as when the seedlings are large enough the flats can be carried to some place convenient for pricking out with less danger of injury to the plants than would be the case if they have to be lifted from the bed. Prick the seedlings into flats again and set back in the frame as soon as possi- ble. All that is necessary after this is to keep them well watered and the air regulated, so as to maintain a tempera- ture of 80 degrees by day, with sun heat, and 60 degrees at night. As the plants attain size and the weather be- comes warmer, they should be gradual- ly exposed to the weather, until they are hard enough to be left uncovered both night and day. W. S. Croydon. PACIFIC COAST. ORNAMENTAL STOCK WANTED. It is a peculiar fact that the acreage devoted by nurseries in California to the cultivation of ornamental trees and shrubs is not increasing in the ratio shown by our population or by the steadily growing demand for such stock. Within" the past twenty years, a great many places of considerable size have gone entirely out of this branch of the business and there do not seem to be many volunteers to enter it. Before the era of growing cut flowers under glass every nurseryman, unless he made a specialty of fruit trees, devoted a por- tion of his ground to the cultivation of strictly ornamental trees and shrubbery. With the passing away of many of the pioneers in this line, and the constant growth of our towns, in many cases making the land too valuable to devote to such purposes, a great change has been brought about. With the younger generation everything has been invested in glass, either for roses, carnations or house plants, and the slower growing material has been overlooked. The fact that much quicker returns can be had from glass than from a field of ornamental stock is the entire rea- son without a doubt, for it certainly cannot be claimed that there is any less- ening in the demand for well grown, hardy shrubbery. It takes several years before they become marketable, but prices are good and from my observa- tions they will not be any cheaper for many 'years to come. The remarkable growth of many of our towns and the interest shown by people of wealth in the planting of gardens and parks has cre- ated a demand that the California nur- serymen cannot handle. Much stock is imported from the eastern states and Europe, but the risk involved and the expensive transportation charges, to- gether with the fact that a great deal of our most desirable stock is of such a nature that it is not grown to any ex- tent in other climates, makes it a dif- ficult thing for the landscape gardener to have his wants supplied on short no- tice. We have had many large nurseries on this coast that have been and are at present engaged in the growing of fruit trees, and also several devoted exclu- sively to the growing of roses, but these firms specialize and their output does not figure very extensivelj' when some wealthy citizen wishes to plant an acre or two of garden, or a landscape gard- ener desires to lay out a public park. There is no special scarcity of green- house plant?, owing to the fact that in almost all our towns of any size, small growers have located and catered to this branch of the trade. It is entirelv of the ornamental side of the question, and I am inclined to think that there will be a great scarcity of hardv shnib- fww^l^ ™-"'™'" '"■'''■*''"' •''"^''^ November 10, 1905. The Weekly Florists^ Review* ^515 bery in a very few years, the signs of which are now visible everywhere. For it is a fact that we are making but lit- tle provision for the demand which is bound to become greater with each suc- ceeding year and to supply it necessi- tates being in the business for several years at least, to have anything of suf- ficient size to be desirable for immedi- ate effect. G. PORTLAND, ORE. State of Business. The predictions of calamity howlers, which preceded the closing of the fair, that business would take a sharp down- ward trend, have not yet materialized. It is true that we miss the honored guests of the summer season and the festivities calling for much decorative work, but there is an every-day, healthy tone which is preferable to spasmodic leaps and bounds. October was good and Novem- ber promises to be better. There is an abundance of all seasonable stock, par excellence in quality, with very little im- ported. Home talent has made great progress in the past two years and is playing to crowded houses. The chrys- anthemum shows greater perfection than ever before and is the star attraction. It holds a season ticket good until the new year. We seem to have an ideal climate for this production and there is no limit to them. A foot-ball contest , every few days is needed to relieve the surplus. Some truly magnificent blooms are displayed at the stores. The advance of the chrysanthemums is always given a warm welcome by the Portland public and are now creating as much comment and more admiration than the head offi- cials of a life insurance company. In other lines of stock there is enough for all demands. Various Notes. Although L. G. Pfunder realized a handsome sum from his Washington street property, he is still active in har- ness and has opened another up-to-date store, at 14.5 Sixth street, with the Misses Pfunder in charge. It is also un- derstood that a fine residence is to be built in Portland Heights, where our pioneer florist will reside among the smart set. Tonseth Bros., of Mt. Tabor, hereto- fore wholesalers only, will open a retail store next week, one block below Mr. Pfunder, in the center of the business district. Tho fever of competition is spreading. That W. S. Sibson has found rose cul- ture a paying venture, and believes in the growing prosperity of the northwest, is evident by the fact that he is building three new houses 34x200 feet. Mr. Sib- son is also a large grower of hardy roses and makes the rose a specialty. H. J. M. LOS ANGELES. A feature of the flower show here in the first days of November was the table decorating. The main show was in Blanchard hail and the tables in Sym- phony hall adjoining. The first premium was given to Morris Goldenson for a table of cyclamens and lily of the valley, with small baskets of violets, arranged by John D'Ortignac. Second prize went to Miss Ethel Lord for a table carrying four large hearts of Cecile Brunner roses, with small baskets of the same flower.

The Market The weather continues warm and dry and we are badly in need of a few show- ers. There has been no frost thus far and outdoor stock of all kinds holds out well. Yellow mums, which are all the rage at this time, seem to have improved in quality during the past week and there is now no trouble for the florists to fill orders for them. Roses are not plentiful and carnations are in about the same supply as at the last writing. There is no rush of business, but all the stock offered is being used up without trouble. Violets are in fair supply and sell well. Valley and lilies are only of- fered in small quantities. The dealers all expect a big harvest on Friday and Saturday for the inter-collegiate football game.

WiLMON Newell, secretary of the Crop Pest Commission, is inspecting the nurseries in Louisiana. He has recently confiscated a number of shipments of nursery stock which were infested by scale. E. S. Welch, Shenandoah, la., pur- chased an adjoining farm la^t week at a cost of about $150 per acre, setting a new high record for farm values in his neighborhood. He now has about 500 acres planted to nursery stock. The U. S.

A new movement has been inaugu- rated in the state of Khode Island that bids fair to be of the greatest value to the horticultural and kindred interests, not only of the state, but also of New England and the whole United States. On October 24, at Kingston, a gather- ing of representatives of each of the horticultural and agricultural societies of the state organized a body known as the Agricultural Federation of Ehode Island. Gootge N. Bliss, of East Prov- idence, was elected chairman, and Prof. H. J. Wheeler, of Kingstpn, chosen, sec- retary. It will be the duty of this or- ganization to represent the state as a whole in matters horticultural and ag- ricultural that are of general interest, such as recommending the appropria- tions for the various societies, framing laws to control insects, and any other needs of the state, as a whole. The fol- lowing societies, through their dele- gates, also named below, compose the charter members of the federation: Ehode Island Horticultural Society, Judge George N. Bliss, East Providence; Providence Florists' and Gardeners' Club, William E. Chappelly Providence; Rhode Island Poultry Association, R. G. Davis, Providence; Washington County Agricultural Society, Rowland G. Hazard, Peace Dale; Rhode Island State Grange, Frank W. Marchant, West Kingston; Rhode Island Agricultural College, Thomas G. Mathewson, East Greenwich; Newport Horticultural So- ciety, Col. Andrew K. McMahon, New- port; Ehode Island State Board of Ag- riculture, Phillip A. Money, Slocum; Newport County Agricultural Society, Isaac L. Sherman, Melville Station. Zero. STONE WALLS. We have written to some of the build- ers of greenhouses asking for informa- tion in regard to using stone walls for greenhouses, but they are too anxious to sell posts, etc., to be favorable and we thought we would ask you if -you could ask some of your correspondents to dis- cuss their desirability and also how heavy they should be and how best to attach the roof to them. If you can help us and perhaps others, in the matter, we shall be very grateful. Z. K. J. This question of stone walls for green- houses has been frequently discussed in these columns and I may say that the general opinion among growers seems to be in favor of the ordinary wooden wall, placed on a foundation of concrete. My own ezperienci with 'stone, brick or ce- ment for walls has not been satisfactory, as I have found that frost will pene- trate and stay in the material, and, of course, this has a cooling effect on the house. . Builders are compelled to offer in their catalogues just what the major- ity of growers demand, and what the majority demand is usually determined after many years of trial. During the fall, when passing through Williamsport, Pa., T called on D. E. Gor- man and found him just completing a nice block of houses, the walls of which were concrete, but instead of using gravel with his cement he was using coal ashes, which, he assured me, were preferable, making a lighter, tougher and less ab- sorbent wall. Doubtless he would be able to give you some useful information along these lines. Having no building material to sell, 1 hope Z. K. J. will keep me out of that category when I still advise him from an economic and utilitarian point of view, to build his walls of wood, as lecom- mended by most of the construction firms, and he will be surely satisfied. RiBES. BOX FOR WREATHS. Galax wreaths, which in some places were a short time since all the go, have now given way to wreaths of the com- mon box. This is made up into crescent and other shapes, and adorned with clus- ters of roses, finished off with a large bow of ribbon. Box is so largely grown and cheap and cut flower workers every- where might do worse than give this material a trial.

" ' In southern California I wish to heat with a coil boiler having a double loop, that is, eight pipes in the lower coil and seven pipes in the coils between the plates, which make the fire travel twice the length of the upper section above the fire box. I can use l*^-inch pipe for the coils or lJ4-inch if they will do. The coils will be three feet long and eight runs of pipe to two and seven to the other two, making ninety lineal feet of pipe. Of course the coil used for the grate will not heat much. My house is 45x105. I shall have to run the riser or risers under the gutters, which are six feet from the ground. The east, or high- est, end is four feet higher than the west. How many runs of 1^-inch or li^-inch pipe will I need to heat it to 50 or 55 de- a^rees with the temperature outside at 25 degrees above zero? It has never been colder here than that, but the usual tem- perature is for two or three hours 32 to 36 degrees. Will the heater do the work, or will it need an extra set of coils? How far below the surface should the heater be placed to insure good circu- lation? I shall have a straight drop of about three feet at the heater and a gradual drop of six feet, making a drop of nine feet. A. L. H. I fear the plan of the heater you pro- pose exposes too great a length of pipe to the action of the fire. As planned, the water must travel twelve feet through looped pipes the full length of which is exposed to the action of heated g^ases. I believe it would be better to make th^ furnace, say, four feet in length and use a single loop above the fire. This Avould give eight feet instead of twelve in contact with the heated gases. If it is desirable to use the partitioned fire- box, carry the returns and riser from one side of the house to the coil just over the fire and the flow and returns from the other side of the house to the coil above the partition in the furnace. The heater planned is capable of sup- plying heat for about 350 square feet of radiation, while even in your climate the house, 45x105 feet, should have at least 700 feet of radiation in it. To supply this with l^^-inch pipe would require thirteen lines of pipe the length of the house. If you were to build two furnaces such as you propose and con- nect one with each of the two coils, using six lines of pipe in one and seven in the other, about the right amount of piping and heat would be provided, in reality two furnaces, each carrying ninety lineal feet of li/.,-inch pipe. L. C. C. TAR ON PIPES. Will 3'ou please tell me how to check the odor of tar? I have some heating pipes painted with it. I have scraped _e pipes but the odor remains. With at would you paint? W. T. I know of no way to check the odor of tar in the houses as long as tar re- mains upon the pipes. If the pipes are carefully scraped and painted with as- phaltum varnish it may check the trouble. L.

Wechtel and the writer took a trip to Adriaii, Mich., recently to inspect the mums at Nathan Smith & Son's place. We were very sorry not to find Elmer Smith at home,, he being in Philadelphia. His wife was in charge of their exhibit in Chicago. But under the leadership of Mr. Smith's foreman we saw many things worth looking at. All the best old varieties, , lots of new ones and then the seedlings. To go into a detailed description of the varieties would be a Herculean task, except to the catalogue man. The show is immense and all this fine stuff produced in three and three and one-half inches of soil without any mulch, with nothing, but care, attention and chemicals! Lots of the earlier stock had been cut but there were still many sorts in prime shape. A couple of benches of Chadwick coming on looked immense.' Various Notes. Business is beginning to pick up. Our next club meeting, to be held No- vember 15, is bound to be a corker. George Eackham, of Detroit, and C. Win- terich, of Defiance, and some others are going to show cyclamens. As there will also be a lot of mums we expect this meeting to beat the previous ones. Invi- tations have been sent to the florists in neighboring towns to attend and we hope some of them will join the club. E. A. K. MANISTEE, MICH. The Manistee Floral Co. was organized by Mrs. L.

This Book Completely Covers the Requirements of the Trade Our Flower Boxes are Used Everywhere The Largest exclusive sellers of Flower Boxes in the United States. C. C Pollworth Co., Western Leaders, Milwaukee GIVE THE DETAILS. I enclose rough pencil draft of green- houses with proposed additions, which owing to the unevenness of the gjround I am at a loss to know just how to run heater pipes. I will install a new water heater. Will have to run the house across the' other two on account of the slope of the ground and can hardly see how to pipe it and get the pipes out of' the way. I will have to cross paths and beds and go under doors, etc. Would it be best to put 2-inch flows overhead and use some 4-ineh returns under the bench 1 The present piping has never been satisfac- tory. Does it need more piping? W. W. N. I am sorry to say I can not even so much as guess at the amount of or the way to arrange the pipes in these houses from the data given. Neither the sketch nor the letter give dimensions of the houses already built or those proposed to be built. I think that with a good ground plan, giving dimensions of the houses, with a general description of their uses and the slope of the ground, a plan for heating can be worked out. Send the figures we have so often said were essential — length, width, slope of roof and height of side walls, together with desired location of heating plant, and state whether eteam or hot water is to be used. L, C. C, RADIATION AND BOILER. Will you please tell me what size boiler and how many and wha* size pipe I need to heat three greenhouses 22x75 with steam to 55 degrees when the out- side temperature is 10 degrees above zero? Also tell me the heating capacity of a four horse-power tubular boiler. A. W. The boiler to heat the three houses in question with steam should have a rated capacity for about 2,000 feet of radiation. A twenty horse-power boiler will be suflicient to do the work. Each house should have a 2%-inch flow pipe under the ridge, divided at the end of the house most distant from the boiler to return through fourteen 1^4 -inch pipes distributed under the benches of the house. Five or six of the returns in each house should be provided with valves so that during mild weather they can be put out of commission. A four horse-power boiler will provide heat for about 400 feet of radiation. L. C. C.

We have a small greenhouse, a lean-to 11x28, with continuous ventila- tors at the ridge and connected by 6x8 double doors with our dwelling. We heat the greenhouse with a coal stove. Could we safely use natural gas in this stove by taking extra precautions to ventilate well, such as introducing fresh air through the house in very bad weather? A. E. Z. The introduction of natural gas to your greenhouse is likely to lead to poor results, no matter how freely you ventilate. There would be no trouble could you secure such good piping that there would be no leakage, and perfect combustion, but these are practically out of the question. H. O.

Dorranceton.Pa. Mention Th» Rerlew when yog wrltf. KNOXVILLE, TENN. Prof. Charles E. Keflfer, of the Uni- versity, whose skill in stimulating inter- est in beautifying gardens, attention of flowers and many other good things, is widely known, on November 10 and 11 furnished an interesting lesson along the line of floral decoration, etc. The annex of Barbara Blount hall, on the .university grounds, waa arranged to afford an attractive lesson on the use of chrysanthemums, especially for home decoration. The exhibition djd not aim at size, illustrating high culture or great variety of the popular flowers, but rather such results as may be secured by the amateur, or indeed any lover of things beautiful, even with very lim- ited ground or opportunity for much culture. Illustrations of decorations with ordi- nary chrysanthemums were given. Prof. Keffer had in view the results within reach of almost any visitor and did much to encourage the efforts of modest students of things that make home beautiful and living more cheerful. Within a few years, relatively, Knox- ville has learned many things and the efforts of our florists have given good instruction. WASHINGTON. November 7 was chrysanthemum night at the Washington Florists' Club. An exhibition of these flowers was prepared, chiefly through the efforts of F, H. Kra- mer, at Schmidt's Hall, and was viewed with great interest by nearly all the members of the organization. Many new chrysanthemums were shown. Mr. Kramer also exhibited for the first time the new pink rose, which he has named Queen Beatrice. It is a soft pink in color, and Mr. Kramer makes the claim that it is better in every respect for commercial purposes than Brides- maid. He says it will produce twice as many blooms as Bridesmaid. Mr. Kramer was awarded the first-class cer- tificate for the rose. He will not place it on the market until the beginning of 1907, and in the meantime will exhibit it throughout the country. A new pink carnation, named F. H. Kramer, was ex- hibited as well as two new ferns. 1 ^Jy Dracaena W^^^ Terminalis ■HHk^^^^u^BBRK Strong plants, 2 >^ -inch pot $6.00 BTIWmhJI^^^^^^^^ Strong plants, 3-inch pot 10.00 mMK^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Strong plants, 4-inch pot 15.00 iro^y^H^flW^^^^^ We have on the place, this date, ■SMOgg^^^^ ^ 20,000 EXTRA FINE PLANTS.

F. bronze medat for school gardens to the Dennison school at Washington is of more than passing interest to the florists throughout, the United States. 1 want to say, personally, that I did not feel that I could spare the time to present this medal, but the school committee finally |jput it in such a way, stating that I sffl|jould designate my own time; therefore r felt it was a public duty, and finally agreed to present it on the date men- tioned in the Keview last week. I want to say further that I am par- ticularly pleased that I should have been the medium \)y which this medal was transmitted from the Society of Ameri- can Florists to the Dennison school; it was one of the most pleasant incidents of my whole life. You can imagine bet- ter than I can tell you a scene of 450 >f little children, girls and boys from the various grades, come marching in through two entrances in the lecture hall, each holding up in his right hand an Ameri- can Beauty rose. It was really a pic- ture that I am sorry every member of the Society of American Florists and every florist in the United States, for that matter, could not witness. All the daily papers here spoke of it. Personally, I feel this little bronxe medal has done the encouragemeht of floral culture more good than the S. A. F. has ever done to my knowledge. At the conclusion of the presentation there was another magnificent scene, Viz., the Chautauqua salute. The 450 children rose to their feet, waving snowy white handkerchiefs. Wm. F. Gude.

"■ TJbe Market Business the past week was sohie- what one-sided, some being busy while others looked on. There seems to be plenty of funeral work and, as the mar- ket is stocked with short roses and oth- er flowers for work, no one is kicking. Cupid seems to have taken a vacation, as weddings are not as plentiful as in some former years. Mums arc finding a ready sale at the wholesalers', bringing from $4 to $15 per hundred. Pinks are quite scarce. Eoses, at least good ones, are also at a premium. A number "of Canadian-grown roses find their way into this market. Carnations are about as scarce as coal was two years ago, poor stock selling as high as $3 per hundred. Violets are also quite scarce. One grower is getting $1 per hundred for some extras fine flow- ers. The small shipments from Mt. Clemens account for this shortage. There is just about enough smilax and other green to go around. Wild smilax and leucothoe sprays have again put in their appearance. . ,.! Various Notes. There is talk of a bowling match in the near future, between the, growers and retailers, for a bonus and some- thing to eat. Alexander Common reports his trade as having increased materially since moving out Woodward avenue. The deepest sympathy is felt for J. F. Sullivan and Thomas and George Browne, losing their fathers the past week. Mr. Sullivan, jwho was attend- ing the Chicago show, was called east suddenly. Strassburg hall was decorated very prettily for the Halcyon Club's ball by Walter Taepke. Visitors: A. Dimmock, New York; E, G. Huntinghouse, Chicago. , H. S. OTTAWA, ONT. C. Scrim died Monday, Novem- ber 6, aged 53 years. He had been suffering for the past two months from an attack of pleurisy which, with other complications, terminated fatally. He was well known in all parts of Can- ada and by many in the United States, where he lived for some years. He was the pioneer of the business in Ottawa, and has built up a very fine business in plants and cut flowers, one of the finest in Canada. He was respected by all and loved by many for his conspicuous good qualities. He leaves a widow, one daugh- ter and two sons. Invincible BUILCK J for Hot Water and Steam. J0HNA.SC0LLAY,^*.£SS:r4^.
