You had betfer *T>d IT NOW or you may get left.
All sold for March delivery; now booking for April and May.

B]'

[RDERS are coming in thick
and fast. Do YOU know
about this beautiful new
hybrid tea ?

A deep coloring and heavy foliage
like American Beauty; ever-bloom-
ing, not a cropper ; easy to grow ;
good for outside as well as under
glass. Any Minneapolis or St. Paul
florist will tell you all about it, or
better still, come and let us SHOW
you what the Middle West can do
in producing a Rose which will
stand unrivalled.

We are not putting on the market
a new Rose about which we have no
proof of its endurance; we have not
been in a hurry. During the last
three years this Rose has been cir-
culating among the retail florists of
Minneapolis and St. Paul and —
well, JUST ASK THEM what they
think of the Miss Kate Moulton.

We would like all growers to visit
our greenhouses and see this Rose
growing. Since that is impossible,
we would like you to ask those who
HAVE seen it to tell you what they
think of it. Write to us for descrip-
tive letter.

HE DID NOT HAVE TO
WAIT ANOTHER YEAR

Consequently will have to show no reason. He was handicapped at that by distance and
shortage of blooms. Aristocrat, as is well known, has practically all the buds pinched off
to enable us to get more cuttings and to avoid a downfall next year. We will have
40,000 plants. Several thousand of these will be bloomed continually from September J,
1906, to September I, 1907.

READ THIS

Joliet, 111., Feb. 7, 1906.

MR. K. WITTERSTAETTER, Cincinnati, Ohio.

Dear Sir — If it is possible to get 100 blooms of Aristocrat for the 15th, wire me Sunday,
the 11th inst., and I will come to Cincinnati for them and take them to Toronto Horticultural
Society's Carnation Exhibit for the 15th inst.

All the champion carnations that were shown at Boston will be there thinking to win the
Challenge Cup which we have won two years in successsion and if we win it again it becomes
our property. Aristocrat can do it. Yours respectfully,

(Signed) CHICAGO CARNATION CO.

CHICAGO CARNATION CO.,

Mr. James Hartshome, Mgr., Joliet, 111.
Dear Sir — Have only hundred Aristocrat only fair. If you come wire me.

Yours truly, (Signed) R. WITTERSTAETTER.

RESULT

Landed in Cincinnati on the 13th; packed every flower available of Aristocrat (no
selection), left at noon, arrived at Toronto the \ 5th; flowers judged in the afternoon.

Cup Awarded to Aristocrat

over all the Boston American Carnation Society's champions. The Gold, the Silver, the
Bronze Medal winners were all there. We advertised the fact in advance that Aristocrat
would be there with the GOODS; that Aristocrat would be there with both feet, so the
Medal winners were prepared for the battle. Aristocrat has no excuse to offer.

NOW THEN — The output of cuttings next season will be limited. Would like
to sell J 00 cuttings to EVERY FLORIST in the COUNTRY, so as to have it widely
distributed and thoroughly tried, as it is going to do well everywhere.

Ready January J, J 907. Send your orders quick as our bookings will soon cease.
Price per 100, $12.00; per 1000, $ J 00.00.

Preparations for Easter.

A remark by a son yesterday reminded
me that we must be making calculations
for the great event, Easter. I often
think we prepare too much for this an-
nual florists' harvest. An unfortunate
who had little theology or reverence for
mythology might think it the only day
our products are in demand. By no
means is this the truth; yet it has be-
come a time when there is a national
feeling of good will and exchange of
sentiment, and practically it makes a
serious difference to many florists
whether their crops are in an attractive
state or otherwise on that particular
date. The "otherwise" man will often
have to dispose of his stock at one-
fourth the price it would have brought
if in perfection when demanded. So
we propose, in good time this year, to
comment briefly on some of those plants
that enter into the Easter trade.

Bulbous Stock.

Double tulips will want from twenty-
four to twenty-eight days, yet much
will depend on the weather. If a warm
March is in store for us, they will be
showing their leaves above their winter
covering and would take much less time
in the greenhouse, but should we get a
frigid March, which is likely enough,
then give them the time I have stated.

Last year we experienced a serious
loss with that grandest of double tulips,
Murillo. They looked fine and were in
bud, when fifty per cent went off with
a watery stem. The stem had the ap-
ance of having been frozen and thawed
out for an inch or less, just below the
pair of leaves below the flower. By an
incident we think we found the cause
of the trouble and it may have occurred
to others. They were brought from out-
side into a shady house and the pans
were stood touching, and the tulips were
allowed to grow eight or nine inches
high, very densely, and without light
or air. These were the ones that col-
lapsed. A few dozen pans were put in
a light house, where they had full sun-
light, ventilation and air between the
pans, and with these there was no loss.

Eemember that Tournesol and Cou-
ronne d'Or need several days less in the
greenhouse than the fine Murillo, which
must be fully out before it assumes that
beautiful,- satiny pink blush which
makes it so attractive.

Single tulips will want only eighteen
days, Dutch hyacinths about fourteen
days, and narcissi the same. Two weeks
is plenty for Von Sion and Golden Spur.
You should have forced and sold all
your Emperor and Empress, because for
so late an Easter they become too lanky
in stem.

Rhododendrons.

Ehododendrons that are not showing
movement of the buds should be brought
from the cool house to one of 55 de-
grees, there to be kept well sprayed.
If in a cooler house and showing signs
of swelling buds, keep them there, for
they will quickly expand their buds

when given sunlight and a little higher
temperature. It should be needless to
say how much all these hardy shrubs en-
joy the humid atmosphere that spraying
produces. A hot, dry spell in the spring
and our maples and lindens are almost
dormant, but let a rain occur and a
transformation scene follows. Lilacs
will want about five weeks in a night
temperature of 55 degrees.

Azalea Indica.
Azalea Indica, which is now such an
important plant, will more than likely
be too early. It must still be kept cool
and shaded. Varieties differ greatly.
If any plant is showing color it is more
than early, because two weeks in a tem-
perature of 50 to 55 degrees will bring
it into full bloom. Some varieties need
a little more heat, even at this early
date, while others may need a perfect
arrest of development, if that were pos-
sible.

Azalea Mollis.
Azalea mollis and the hybrid Ghent
varieties can be brought into the green-
house at once. Mollis is a true species,
less fragrant than the Ghent varieties,
but very profuse in fiower. They want
the same treatment and are much
superior in quality when brought along

was not a desirable first impression, so
it is well to have your cahnas two feet
high and your caladiums one foot.

When you start them, fill a flat of
three inches depth with sand or sandy
soil, press the bulbs slightly in and place
the flats a few inches above the hot-
water pipes. They will make more of a
jump in a week under these conditions
than they would in a month on a bench
in a 5-inch or 6-inch pot.

Lily of the VaUey.

There is always a brisk demand for
lily of the valley at Easter. As this
is a flower that can be cut and kept in
the cool for several days there is no
need of it being late. Whether forced
in a bed of sand, or in pots, as has been
lately illustrated, allow three weeks.

Smilax.

There is one simple item in the
economy of the average retail florist
that the absence of has impressed me,
and that is the old familiar smilax.
There is no greenhouse where a retail
business is done, big or little, but what
can aft'ord a few lineal feet for smilax.
It would, perhaps, bo superfluous to
mention the many uses to whi(?h this
pretty vine is put. No more in any
case than when suddenly you get a sur-
prise call for several designs. You have
everything but smilax, aiid then there is
hurry and scurry on this simple thing.
It might have been sown before now and
yet it is not late. Keep it, from the
seed flat, growing by shifting, and plant
out in six inches of soil on a low bench,
on the ground preferred, early in July,
and you can cut four crops in twelve
months, and it will pay you as well as
most things. William Scott.

in a moderate temperature, say 50 to
55 degrees.

Starting Caladiums.

Because it is time to start oannas,
don't think it necessary to get the
strong gro\ying Caladiuai esculentum
going. The third week in March is time
for that. We frequently have found
that in planting a flower bed on the first
of June our caladiums were big and tall
and over-shadowed the cannas. This

WHEN TO PLANT PANSIES.

"When should 1 plant pansies so as to
get them out as soon as warm weather
sets in? Would you start them in sand
or soil? Also would like to know if there
is any other flower of this order, besides
-the one mentioned and sweet peas, that
I could grow outside during the summer
months? Tlvat is to say the flower has
to be a pretty fair seller in the commis-
sion house, as those mentioned are.

s. s. s.

Pansies are generally sown in July and
August and transplanted into beds of
good, rich soil when large enough to han-
dle, 30 that they get well established be-
fore severe winter sets in. They can be
sown still later if intended to be pro-
tected during winter with glass sash. All
of the above should be fine flowering
plants at the earliest opening of spring
and should be lifted from the winter
beds and placed where they are to flower

as soon as the ground is dry. For sum-
mer flowering you can raise most satis-
factory plants by sowing the seeds
at once. Sow in flats two or three
inches deep in fine sifted soil, thinly,
only just covering the seeds. When the
little seedlings are large enough to
handle, transplant' into other flats of
rich soil two inches apart and when win-
ter is over remove the flats to a cold
frame and plant out in open ground
early in May. These winter-sown pan-
sies will not make much show dur-
ing the month of May, but from June
on they will flower more vigorously and
continuously than those raised the pre-
vious fall. The best summer beds of
pansies we ever grew .were sown in Feb-
ruary. Besides pansies and sweet peas
there is a long list of annuals and peren-
nials that can be raised outside and find
a moderate sale in all large cities. A
visit to your commission houses would
easily enlighten you on what is in de-
mand.

The aster is certainly one of the most
profitable, especially if you can get in
a good crop very early, and again just
before frost comes, as all flowers are
scarce at that time. W. S.

THE VALUE OF RECORDS.

In all well regulated and up-to-date es-
tablishments there should be a system
of record-keeping. It is not only essen-
tial to know where we stand at the end
of the season, but it is of great value
in preparing our plan for next season's
planting. To know exactly how many
blooms each variety produces in a sea-
son, and the returns from same when
compared with other varieties, and also
the superficial area occupied by each va-
riety, must of necessity be of important
use to every grower. But how useful
and important this is, is known only to
the grower who year after year makes
it a practice to compile such statistics.

To keep a faithful record of the cut
of each variety, a card should be pre-
pared each week, with spaces for each
day. This should be placed in the house
and every bloom cut should be entered
on it under its own heading and at the
end of each month this should be copied
into the journal for future reference.

In the i^rting room similar cards
should be used, which should show the
exact number of blooms of each grade.
Note should also be made of those va-
rieties which are in best demand among
the customers.

By this means we can, at the end of
the season, with a little figuring arrive

at a definite conclusion as to which of
the varieties it is mogfr^rofitable to
plant. By rigidly followiflg- this plan
our waete of space will be reduced to a
minimum.

Record-keeping also embraces a sys-
tem of recording each day's tempera-
ture, with remarks concerning amount of
sunshine, moisture, etc., all of which
should be carefully noted in the journal.

The night and day temperature at
which each variety was grown should
also be recorded, all of which may be of
some utility in future. In fact, from
the time the cutting or scion is taken
from the bush until it has finished its
entire season's work nothing concerning
its pecuniary value or cultivation should
be left unrecorded.

To derive full value from past ex-
perience a full description of the soils
used, the nature of the compost, ferti-
lizers and the amount and quality of the
liquid food applied with a note of the re-
sults should also be recorded.

All this work requires a certain
amount of time, but it is time well
spent and will amply repay us by leaving
no doubt in our minds as to the merits
and demerits of each and every variety
under our care, besides enlightening us
as to whether our soil is suitable and our
culture right or wrong." EmES.

ROSE UNCLE JOHN.

The growers in the vicinity of Chicago
are steadily displacing the Golden Gate
rose with its sport. Uncle John. The
deeper color is the principal reason for

the change, but the productive quality
of the stock of Uncle John seems with
some growers to be bettwr than with their
Golden Gate. It is a rose which can
be grown cheaper than Bride and Maid
and still brings more money. The ac-
companying illustration is from a photo-
graph made at the Peter Reinberg estab-
lishment on December 20 and show^ the
crop in ^ight for Christmas. The sport
originated here several years ago and
the plantings have been steadily in-
creased season after season.

HARDY FLOWERS.

There was a good audience present at
the regular Saturday meeting of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society on
February 17, to hear E. O. Orpet speak
on ' ' Hardy Flowers. ' ' He spoke of the
gradual advance of hardy flowering
plants into popular favor in place of
the overdone and tiresome carpet bed-
ding, which for some time was the
craze. More credit is due William Rob-
inson, late editor of the London Gar-
den, for bringing hardy plants into
favor than any man living. His efforts
have completely revolutionized flower
gardening and have made available a
wealth of excellent material which is
more satisfying, more varied and more
easily cared for than the beds of ten-
der plants once almost exclusively de-
pended upon for floral effects.

The proper preparation of the soil is
necessary to grow hardy perennials suc-
cessfully. The ground should be turned
over eighteen inches deep and plenty
of well rotted manure worked in. A
continuous effective display of peren-
nials in flower borders is diflicult, but
by the use of annuals to fill up gaps
caused by plants dying down after flow-
ering this may be easily overcome. For
winter protection nothing is better than
leaves. The speaker objected to the
spreading of manure on the borders in
the fall, owing to its unsightly appear-
ance.

In aquilegias the North American
sorts are best and the three best in his
estimation are chrysantha, Canadensis
and cserulea. For tiie disease attacking
delphiniums and blasting the flower
stems he recommends spraying with
Ivory soap. He thinks the trouble real-
ly is caused by a mite. Delphinium
grandiflorum treated as an annual is
extremely useful, the blue being espe-
cially valuable. He likes some of the
thalictrums and has found their foliage
excellent to use with sweet peas for
aecorative purposes. The demand for
peonies is remarkable. Growers in Hol-
land and England are keenly alive to
the demand here.

Perennial phloxes need rich ground.
If the flower heads are cut off just be-
fore the last flowers fade the stems
will branch out and give a nice new
crop in October. Lupinus polyphyllus
and variety albus are perennial and in-
dispensable. By saving some of the an-
nual sorts among them, a continuous
crop of flowers may be had during the
season. Liliums dislike soil in which
manure is incorporated. They like to
have the roots cool and moist. Except
for the small-bulbed sorts, he recom-
mends planting them twelve inches
deep. An ideal place for lilies is in
rhododendron beds. The shade, leaf
mulching and moist root conditions are
ideal for them. The best lilies which
may be depended upon not to run out
are: L. auratum platyphyllum (this

probably has some speciosum blood in
it), Hansoni, Batemanniae, tigrinum,
tigrinum flore pleno, elegans, specio-
sum, album and Melpomene, Canadense,
Henryi and superbvim. He knows a
grower who puts some 2,000 L. Harrisii
outdoors each spring and has a grand
show of them. It is necessary to dig
the bulbs each fall, as they start to
grow too early. None of the Califor-
nian lilies, pretty as they are, may be
relied upon.

Owing to the attacks by field mice,
he has been unable to keep digitalis,
or Canterbury bell, outdoors during win-
ter, and while many people grow Anem-
one Japonica grandly, he has to depend
on pots for his flowers of each, as the
plants do not do well in the open, al-
ways being cut down by an early frost
ere blooming.

Among plants introduced in re-
cent years some of the best are Cam-
panula Moerheimi, Astilbe Davidi, In-
carvillea Delavayi and Eehmannia an-
gulata. Many of the numerous recent
introductions by Veitch through E. H.
Wilson from western China promise to
be valuable. The present day demand
is for planting in masses to secure tell-
ing effects. This method has its disad-
vantages, for it causes many gaps which
are hard to fill with annuals. Person-
ally he prefers mixed hardy borders.

In the discussion which followed,
James H. Bowditch said if mass plant-
ing were well dovetailed no striking
gaps would show when the various per-
ennials are done flowering. Both mixed
borders and massed planting are desir-
able. All depends upon the size of the
beds and borders and effects neecfed.
Duncan Finlayson said a good way to
grow Anemone Japonica is to lift and
store the roots each fall. In planting
he dots Canterbury bells among them.
When the latter are done blooming the
anemones cover the ground nicely.
Other beds may be treated in a similar
way to secure a continuous mass dis-
play.

J. W. Manning spoke of Polygonum
Baldschuanicum, saying it is hardy,
really a shrub and attains a height of
eighteen feet. Lycoris squamigera, also
called Amaryllis Halleana, is hardy and
a beautiful plant, with pink flowers re-
sembling Belladonna lilies. Bulbs se-
cured from Japan have not proved
hardy, however. Even the rankest
growing and quickest spreading sorts,
such as Monarda didyma, Boltonia as-
teroides, Helianthus rigidus and Boc-
conia cordata, have their places, but
they must not be planted where they
might smother weaker growing sub-
jects. He said £he number of varieties
of perennials is perplexing. There are
now 1,500 peonies listed, over 800 del-
phiniums, 700 irises and 1,000 phlox.

W. N. Craig spoke of the culture of
eremurus, Anemone Japonica and other
sorts. He recommends Lilium excelsnm
and L. Brownii as desirable kinds to
grow. Papaver orientale in masses
dotted quite thickly with Galtonia can-
dicans make an effective continuous
display. J. W. Duncan thought it a mis-
take to leave Lilium candidum out of
any list of reliable hardy lilies. He
also thinks L. tenuifolium a good sort
to grow. He has had trouble with
Anemone Japonica in southern Connecti-
cut, owing to hot summers, but has
found no difficulty with it near Bos-
ton. The grandest display of it he has
ever seen, near Manchester, Mass., was
undisturbed for years and merely se-

cured a coating of leaves each fall. He
read a list of bulbous plants recently
recommended by a New Jersey writer
for flowering outdoors from November
to February, and said his experience
has been that such sorts do not flower
before April and May. W. N. C.

PRICE COMPETITION,

In a small town in Ohio there are two
florists. One is the old established deal-
er, and the other a firm of young men
just starting in business. There are sev-
eral near-by towns connected by trolley
and competition is keen. Several com-
munications have reached the Beview
commenting on the fact that the older
florist is defending himself from com-
petition only by cutting prices. From
several sources his Christmas advertise-
ment has been received. It read as fol-
lows:

"For Christmas give your wife, sweetheart or
friend a bunch of our exquisite cut flowers or
one of our extraordinary fine potted plants.
You could not get her any more acceptable gift.
Our flowers are all fresh, home-grown. Roses,
$1 per dozen. Carnations, 5() cents per dozen."

One of the new firm writes as follows:
"No doubt your attention is at once
attracted to the sure enough slaughter
of prices. I am a young man just
starting in business, having had about
nine years' experience, gained by hard
work with some of the best wholesale
growers near Chicago before coming
here. I saved a little money from my
wages and, with a partner who had also
saved his money, we built two small
greenhouses. The last year before build-
ing I was with the man who is now
fighting us by cutting prices. , His busi-
ness was begun a few years ago with a
house 20x50 and now he has 10,000 feet
of glass. At the time we began building
he was retailing carnations at 85 cents
a dozen and roses from $1 per dozen up
and doing a nice business. When we

were ready to begin, of course having to
buy most of our flowers in wholesale
markets, he cut prices down to one-third,
selling carnations at 30 cents and roses
at the same price. He is cutting the life
out of the business here to put us out
of business. So far we have not gone
below 50 cents per dozen for carnations
and $1 for roses, but the price cutting
is beginning to tell on us. We have lit-
tle capital and our opponent has con-
siderable. ' '

From a neighboring town comes a
flipping of the Christmas advertisement
quoted above and the following:

"Let me explain the situation: This
town is our county seat; practically both
towns are one; cars every fifteen min-
utes; nickel fare. One of my 'boys'
that lives in that town, after working
at a number of big places, came back
home and worked with this man until
the boy concluded he would start in for
himself. He took a big slice of the busi-
ness with him in a short time, doing his
utmost to hold prices to a reasonably
profitable basis, the other selling carna-
tions at 25 cents, geraniums at $1 for
sixteen fine, well-grown plants with three
to six big growths and well bloomed,
worth $2 ot anyone's money; making
the threat at the time that he would
break up his competitors if it required
a year or two to do it. The funny thing
is that the other fellows got all their
friends that rarely buy flowers to go
and get the cheap stock for them. This
has hurt all of us but as most of our
work is wholesale we do not feel it much,
only I do not like to see it, but as a
close student of economics I smile
through it all, knowing the ultimate out-
come."

The same matter has come to the at-
tention of Wm. Scott, who writes as fol-
lows:

In the discussion which followed,

borders and massed planting are desir-
able. All depends upon the size of the

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Maucu 1, 1006.

in Ohio, sends me a clipping from his
local newspaper and suggests that it is
worthy of a few comments. It appears
that there is some opposition in that
town, or it would not be necessary to
insert such large-typed ads and quote
such very popular prices. My friend
need not worry. Such attempts at gain-
ing trade by undersfilling your con-
temporary ana advertising such ridicu-
lous prices are the weak weapon* of a
weak man and we have all in some de-
gree suffered from such business
methods. I hear less of it every year
and there can be but one inevitable end,

"In this case we know that only very
poor roses or carnations could be pro-
cured at wholesale for the prices quoted.
Grow or offer for sale the best flowers
and plants and charge accordingly and
you need not worry about such opposi-
tion, and remember that with scarcely
an exception neither you nor any other
respectable florist ever lost a valued cus-
tomer by charging a good stiff price for
a first-class article. The price, if it did
at the time seem rather extravagant,
will be quickly forgotten, but poor qual-
ity at any price will neither be forgotten
nor forgiven.

"The cutting of prices below those of
old established^ firms is often the method

employed by beginners in ours as well
as in other businesses. It is to them
the simplest and strongest card they can
play. However, it may work in other
business, it never does in ours, and your
opponent who is selling at a loss is slow-
ly perhaps but surely going to the wall
and the time will come when the fearless
and square dealing man will have less
opposition.

' ' A contractor remarked to the writer
recently : ' Our firm will figure down to
the lowest living profit and if another
firm goes below that we are pleased that
he gets the contract, for we know that
he is crippling himself and will be less
opposition in the future.'

"This is not philanthropy, but busi-
ness, and nowadays business is made up
of 100 per cent of self preservation and
only a trace of philanthropy.

"Go ahead, my friend, and congratu-
late yourself that your contemporary is
not made of more brilliant stuff and al-
ways remember that it is quality that
will acquire and keep good trade and not
low prices. The genius is not yet born who
can sell high quality below cost and
survive, and in conclusion, we believe
there is less and less every year of the
weak attempt to gain trade by cutting
prices. ' '

SORTS TO GROW WITH LAVSON.

Will you kindly give us a list of car-
nations that will grow in the same house
with Lawson? We grow one house of
carnations to supply cur local trade
and want white, pink, scarlet and crim-
Bon. Now, Lawson gives us splendid
blooms and is in all ways satisfactory,
but we wish for a lighter pink, also some-
thing of the color of the old Daybreak.
If you can give us a list that we can
grow with Lawson and do reasonably
well, we shall be greatly obliged.

H. F. II.

I will take it for granted that you
grow your Lawson in about 55 degrees
and will make my list accordingly. To
start with, you can get the Lawson sports
in every one of these colors, except crim-
son, and if Lawson is entirely satisfac-
tory with you as a pink, the others will
be equally so in their respective colors.
There are White Lawson, which has been
on the market two seasons and has come
to stay; Variegated Lawson came out
last year. Red Lawson came out in 1904,
and there is a light pink Lawson of the
Daybreak shade cdming out this season.

Harlowarden will do very well in the
same house with an occasional light dose
of wood ashes to stiffen the stem, which
is liable to come a trifle weak in such a
high temperature. If you will run your
house at 52 degrees there are plenty of
varieties that will thrive in that tem-
perature. Vesper, Lady Bountiful and
The Belle are all fine. Enchantress is
the best light pink. In scarlet the ideal
has not yet been reached, but Cardinal is
doing well almost everywhere and we
hope to get something out of this sea-

son's introductions. In a pink lighter
than Laisson there is nothing up-to-date
except those coming out this season.
Fiancee was expected to fill the want
for this color and may do it yet, but it
will have to do better than it has this
season. A. F. J. Baur.

TROUBLE WITH ESTELLE.

What is the cause of Estelle carnations
bringing about fifty per cent semidouble
flowers? The others are perfect. The
plants are in a fine, healthy condition,
medium heavy soil, temperature 52 de-
grees to 55 degrees. Is this variety sub-
ject to this fault? They are raised from
late cuttings, also late planted in the
house. M. B.

Estelle has always been more or less
subject to this trouble and, while under
certain conditions it would produce less

of such blooms, yet I doubt whether you
will ever be able to cut all double blooms
through the whole season. It goes with-
out saying that the better the culture
the less such blooms will appear. Strong,
early cuttings, early planting and good
culture in general will help to overcome
it to a degree.

Cardinal is a great improvement over
Estelle in that way, as it never come8
single, though it resembles Estelle a
great deal in general habit, etc. Unless
you have had extraordinary success with
Estelle in the past, I would advise you
to drop it and plant some of the newer
scarlet varieties, as they will pay you
much better and with less trouble.

A. F. J. Baur.

A NEW YORK PLACE.

William Y. Velie and Fred A. Velio
are proprietors of the Valley View
Greenhouses, Marlborough, N. Y. The
town is a pretty one, on the Hudson,
within easy shipping distance of New
York, where most or the product finds
an outlet. Marie Louise violets and
fancy carnations are the crops grown in
the five houses, which have a total glass
area of 25,000 square feet. One of the
accompanying illustrations shows an out-
side view of the plant, the other an in-
vide view of a house of Enchantress car-
nations, the house 35x175, about 6,000
plants in all. As it has done every-
where, Enchantress has given splendid
results here, probably better than any
other variety. The houses are Lord &
Burnham material, embodying that
firm's devices. The illustration gives a
good view of the ventilating apparatus,
especially the worm which operates th&
shaft.

THE NEW MONEY ORDER.

The new form of money orders adopted
by the United States postoflice depart-
ment, is an improvement over the form
now in use. On the left-hand side of the
new order is a column of figures com-
mencing at $1 and running in fives to
$100. The clerk at the issuing oflBce
will tear this out so that it will show the
number next higher than the amount for
which the order is issued; this will pre-
vent the raising of the amount of the
order above the amount indicated in tBe
column of figures. With the old order*
the figures could be erased and others
substituted; even if an order of this
sort could not be cashed at a postoflice,
it might be passed on an individual. An-
other radical change in the order is that
the address of the person to whom the
order is made out is to be placed on the
order as well as his name.

AMONG THE GROWERS.

H. A. Stevens Co., Dedham, Mass,

H. A. Stevens Co., at East Dedham,
Mass., grows some of the best carna-
tions seen in the Boston market. Five
houses are devotea to their culture and
while some sorts were off crop when the
writer called, there was plenty of bloom.
A very pretty sport of Variegated Law-
Bon, somewhat different from the one
flent out last season hj F. B. Pierson Co.,
fills several benches, and the firm finds
a good demand for rooted cuttings.
Mrs. Patten is alsj grown, but Mr.
Stevens says Variegated Lawson put-,
blooms it with them in the proportion of
five to one. Anotnjr Lawson sport, of
Enchantress color, is being grown and is
well liked. Both Enchantress and Fair
Maid are grown as light pinks, Lawson
still filling the bill as a dark pink.
Manly was very prolific as a scarlet,
although a few of the more shy bloom-
ing Flamingo are still retained. Boston
Market was head and shoulders over
other whites. The Queen did not look
80 well as at other places I have visited.
Lady Bountiful is found too slow and,
while a fancy flower, is not considered
profitable. Harry Fenn is grown as a
crimson. Quite a number of promising
eeedlings were noted.

A good collection of peonies and
herbaceous phlox are grown in a field
near-by. For these a good demand is
found. A large cellar is devoted to
mushrooms. Pure culture spawn is used
exclusively and the crops are excellent.
Flowers grown are sold at the Music
hall market, Boston.

Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass.

"We found Peter Fisher busy potting
off rooted cuttings. His house of these
<50uld hardly be improved upon. We
wish every grower who sells cuttings
were as careful in selection as Mr.
Fisher and there would be fewer com-
plaints about tue quality of stock of
novelties being sent out. Plants in all
the houses looked suprisingly well, more
especially when it is remembered that
they were . grown outside in an almost
rainless summer an-l were worried by
cutworms so that tliey were in many
cases little more than bare sticks when
housed. This year stock will all be

Slanted from pots directly into the
enches, indoor culture being the only
sure solution lor last year's worries.

We were especially interested in Bea-
con, which tied with Robert Craig for a
bronze medal in the S. A. F. class at
Boston. As seen growing it looked to us
much brighter than on the exhibition
tables, where it seemed to us to take on
something of a brickish hue. In color
it is one of the light scarlets, nearer to
\ictory than John E. Haines. A 300-foot
bench of it was a magnificent sight, being
smothered with bloom, carried on good
stiff stems, which held the flowers erect.
Hardly a burst calvx was seen. Mr.
Fisher will plant a 300-foot house of it
next season and will probably introduce
it in 1907. One prominent carnationist
wanted his order booked for 20,000 as
soon as he had seen il growing.

Evangeline looked very well. A num-
ber of the plants, however, show burst-
ing tendencies. No cuttings are being
taken from any of these and it is hoped
to overcome this defect. The salmon
color is pleasing and it sells quickly at
the stores, it being necessary to hide it to
fill the demands of special customers.

House of Enchantress Grown by Vclie Bros., Marlborough, N. Y.

We do not like the shade as well as
Enchantress, the only trouble with the
latter grand sort being that it does so
we.i everywhere that people will soon de-
clare it is too common and demand a
different shade. Seedling No. 500, a
deeper shade ttian Enchantress, is in our
estimation destined to be a better thing
than Evangeline and will be heard from
later. Ruby will not be grown again as
a crimson. Its color is a little too dark,
but a very warm colored seedling of a
lighter shade will tnke its place. In
the seedling house scarlets loomed up
prominently. There were a dozen or
more really good ones, some promising
yellows, and other shades were also no-
ticed.

Among standard varieties Lady Boun-
tiful looked well. White Lawson, how-
ever, is considered much more profitable,
the flowers of the latter being particu-
larly liked for funeral work. Mrs. Patten
is the whole show in its class and car-
ried a heavy crop. In scarlets a few
Flamingo are still grown. Some Victory
and John E. Haines were also on trial.
The best type of the latter is hard to
beat as a perfect scarlet, but it needs
considerable selection to secure it. En-
chantress looked grand, as it does almost
everywhere this season. The least said
about Fiancee the better. Here it is a
complete failure and will be dropped.

RADISHES AND LETTUCE.

I have two greenhouses with solid beds
four feet wide, of the violet pit type,
which have had plants growing in them
since September 1. I want to Know how
to enrich the soil, which is quite poor,
of a sandy, loamy nature. In one house
1 want to sow radishes as soon as the
radishes I am pulling now are all out,
and in the other I want to plant cauli-
flower and lettuce. As 1 have no rotten
barn-yard manure I would like to know
it I could use sheep manure with safety
and how to apply it; also, how many
pounds to put to the 100 square feet of
bench. Do you think I could use ma-
nure from a hen-coop to advantage with-
out risk? S. H. 8.

Cauliflower and lettuce ought to do
all right in soil fertilized with sheep
manure at the rate of fifty pounds to
lUO square feet. Procure the unpulver-
ized article as the pulverized is often
adulterated to a considerable extent,
therefore of uncertain strength. It should
be well worked through the soil and, if
very dry, the bench should receive a good
watering after working in the manure
and be allowed to stand for about three
days before the plants are set into it.
For radishes half the above-mentioned
quantity of manure will be sufficient, but
it should be worked in so that the ma-
nure will not be mixed in the surface soil.
Within two inches of the surface will
be close enough to the radishes to insure
their coming out clean and well shaped,
which they would not do should the bulbs
come in direct contact with the manure.
The best way to do this is to remove
two inches of the surface soil, work the
manure in the bed, then put the two
inches of clean soil back. Should your
beds require to be raised a little you
could work the manure in the soil as it
stands at present, then procure enough
fresh soil to give a covering of two

AMONG THE GROWERS.

H. A. Stevens Co., Dedham, Mass,

H. A. Stevens (>o.. at East Dedliaiu,
Mass., yrows simie of llic licst carna-
tions seen in llie JJoston niiirkct. Five
honses are devuted to tlieir culture and
while sonic soits uere oil' crop when the
writer called, there v. as plenty ot bloom.
A very pretty sj)ort oi" Variej^utcd Law-
son, somewhat ditt'erent from Ihe one
sent out last season ijy F. R. Pierson Co.,
fills several benches, and the firm finds
a good demand for rooted cnttinfjs.
Mrs. Patten is al.s > grown, but Mr.
Stevens says Variegated Lawson out
blooms it with them in the proportion of
five to one. Auotnjr Lawson sport, of
Enchantress color, is being grown and is
well liked. Both Enchantress and Fair
Maid are grown as light jdnks, Lawson
still filling the bill as a dark pink.
Manly was very prolific as a scarlet,
although a few of liio more shy bloom
ing Flamingo are still retained. Boston
Market was head and shoulders over
other whites. The Queen did not look
so well as at other jiiaces I have visited.
Lady Iknintiful is found too slow ami,
. while a fancy tlower, is not considered
profitable. Harry Fenn is grown as a
•crimson. Quite a number of jtromising
seedlings were noted.

A good collection of j'eonies and
herbaceous phlox are grown in a field
near-})y. For these a good demand is
found. A large cellar is devoted to
mushrooms. Pure culture sp:iwu is used
exclusively and the crops are exc(>llent.
Flowers oruun are sold at the Music
hall market. Boston.

Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass.

We fouiul I'etcr Fislier busy potting

•could hardly be imj)roved upon. We
wish every grower who sells cuttings
were as careful in selection as Mr.
Fisher and there would be fewer com-
plaints about tiie (|uality of stock of
novelties being sent out. Plants in all
the houses looked su|'risingly well, more
especially when il is remembered that
they A\ere grown outside in an almost
rainless siiiiiiiier and were worried by
cutworms »■ that ti'ey were in many
-cases little more than bare sticks when
housed. This ye;ir stock will all be
])ianted from j)ots ilirectly int(i the
benches, indoor culture being the only
sure solution Jor las: year's worries.

con, which tied with Koberl <'raig for a,

inches. First-class radishes can be
grown in two inches of clean sand if
the soil below is sufficiently enriched to
support the crop. The roots reach down
into the richer soil and procure the nec-
essary nourishment, while the bulbs de-
velop clean and nice in the sand.

Manure from the hen-coop is pretty
hot stuff, but an excellent iertilizer
when properly prepared. It should be
composted with an equal quantity of soil,
or, biBtter still, half-rotted leaves, and be
allowed to stand for at least six months,
being turned over occasionally so as to
work, the heat out of it. The compost

could be applied at about the same rate
as recommended for sheep manure, but,
after application, I would advise taking
a crop of cauliflower off the bench first,
then plant lettuce without applying any
more. The crop of cauliflower will tone
the soil down sufficiently to leave it in
nice condition for the lettuce to take
hold. This latter crop, being of a softer
and less gross feeding nature, would
not take kindly to such a strong manure
if it were applied directly before plant-
ing, but the cauliflower will stand a
richer soil without any risk of injury,

^ NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

[A paper by C. H. Totty, of Madison, N. J.,

read at a meeting of the Morris County, N. J.,

Gardeners' and" Florists' Society, February 14,
1906.]

It has been asserted that while Ameri-
can raisers of new varieties concede the
palm for size to the imported kinds,
yet the American varieties are the only
ones adapted for average commercial
culture.

Is this statehient true? I say hardly
80, because a walk through the New
York cut flower district during the
-chrysanthemum season shows us the fol-
lowing kinds being shipped in in quan-
tity and all of them are imported vari-
eties: October Sunshine, Alice Byron,
Cheltoni, Nellie Pockett, Mrs. Coombes,
and our own great and only W. Duck-
ham. There are others, but I have
quoted enough to show that the for-
eigners do get a show in the wholesale
markets of the country,

I have had it stated to me that
Timothy Eaton is an English instead of
a Canadian seedling, but in the absence
of any proof I refuse to credit it. The
fact is that a valuable new variety may
originate in any country but, in the case
of some raisers, the French particularly,
one has to buy so much chaff to find
even one grain of wheat that the game is
not worth the candle.

Vhy Australian Varieties Do Well.

It has been stated that the reason the
Australian varieties do so well here is
because they are accustomed to strong
sunlight and being grown and flowered
entirely outside, have more native vigor.

I am just now collaborating with a
hybridizer in California, where, I under-
stand, almost identical conditions pre-
vail, and, if it is a mattpr of climatic
condition, we hope to be producing some
William Duckhams and Beatrice Mays
in a year or two. The strongest reason,
to my mind, why the Wells-Pockett kinds
have done so well is because of the rigid
selection of the best kinds from an im-
mense number of seedlings. Thus the
present list, Mrs. Partridge, Mrs.
Heaume, Mrs. Knox, E. J. Brooks, etc.,
some twelve kinds in all, are the pick of
over 97,000 seedlings. In the face of a
pruning down like that one would say
they must all be wonders and, candidly,
I do believe th'ey are the best list this
firm has ever sent out.

How different is this wholesale method
from the conditions under which our own
hybridizers have to work; where, the
plants Toeing grown inside and taking up
valuable space, a few hundred seedlings
seem a very large batch to handle!

Hybridizing is largely a gamble, any-
way, and a Col. Appleton may appear
in your one single dozen plants, but the
chance?, are against you and the law of
averages will tell in the long run.

Novelties of the Year.

In looking over the new things of the
year we will give first place to the
American seedling, Morton F. Plant.
This made its first, and almost its only,
appearance at our own local show, and
we should be duly proud of the fact.
This coming year, when the experts from
other localities have it to work with,
some phenomenal flowers are bound to
be shown. Call it an improved Viviand-
Morel, but twice the size at least that I
ever saw Morel, and we have in a few
words a very good description of Morton
F. Plant, with the addition that the
foliage and stem are facsimiles of Col.
Appleton. Honor to whom honor is due !
And we owe a good deal to the Daille-
douze brothers for this grand variety.

Next on the list is Beatrice May and
it is certainly a beauty. This variety
has developed one serious fault, from
my own point of view, which is that it
is altogether too modest and shy in pro-
ducing stock, making the dissemination
slow and unsatisfactory. I had hoped to
make some money out of Beatrice but, in
the language of the poet, " 'Twas ever
thus. Since childhood's hour I've seen
my fondest hopes decay. ' ' And a most
vigorous hunt over three continents fails
to reveal any stock to speak of.

As a keeper this variety is second to
none. It kept for three weeks on the
plant in perfect condition and some of
the flowers after being exhibited and
scored by the C. S. A. committee kept in'
water some three weeks longer. The
way Beatrice May finished up for me
last year is about as near perfect as I
ever expect to see a white chrysanthe-
mum.

Two Good Reds.

Perhaps the next best thing as an
all-round variety in its color is Mrs.
Henry Partridge. Eed varieties are
almost without exception prone to burn

in bright sunlight, but Partridge will not
damp one petal. Almost everyone likes
W. E. Church, but so many complain
of its poor growth. Partridge will give
you the Church color and in addition is
a grand, dwarf, stocky grower. I tried
it on every bud from August 10 to the
end of September and it was good on
every one, the late buds showing, as was
natural, a much thinner flower.

Another very dwarf variety that
showed similar color to Partridge on
first opening was Mary Ann Pockett,
but it soon faded to an Indian red. This
variety was so very dwarf that I did not
take any notice of it all summer and the
flower when it developed was a most
agreeable surprise. Mary Ann Pockett
will be a very valuable variety to grow
in pots or on a front bench where head
room is restricted.

While on the dwarf varieties (and the
splendid dwarf habit is one of the
strongest qualities of the Wells varieties
every year) I would mention May Sed-
don. It had no chance to prove itself
this year, as my stock did not come till
late, and it is so very dwarf that it
must have a long season of growth to do
it justice. Do not, I beg of you, keep
on propagating this variety too late this
year. Give it a fair show and if it comes
with you as it has been grown, eleven
inches across and eleven inches deep,
you will have a prize-winner in the
white classes.

Mrs, Dunne a Fine Grower.

Mrs. John E. Dunne is a fine grower
and a fine variety, one that will give you
100 per cent of good flowers. The color
is old rose, very striking and beautiful,
and reminds me of the old Chenon de
Leche, for years a great favorite with
me. Dunne will run up four to five
feet with good culture and a crown bud
around August 20 will give you the best
flower.

Another sterling sort, in that every
flower comes good, is Mrs. G. Heaume,
a splendid clean grower, three to four
feet high. The color is pretty much
the shade seen in Queen Alexandria, a
salmony bronze, one of the kinds com-
monly called off color, but I am free to
confess that everyone who saw it in my
houses liked it.

Mrs. Wm. Knox, when first expand-
ing, looks distinctly an aristocrat, as
every petal falls naturally into its proper
place, but I am sorry to have to confess
that the neck is hardly strong enough to
hold erect the large spreading flower.
In the short vase classes it is a winner,
as it gives a flower with as large a
spread as F. S. Vallis and a far neater
appearance.

Richardson an Immense Grower.

T. .Richardson is an immense grower
and will make a stem like a young tree.
Do not overfeed this variety, as it has
such a tremendous root action it is easy
to overdo it. The color is the same
shade as Enchantress carnation, a point
to be considered in classing it as a pink.
A bud the last week in August is to be
preferred to an earlier one.

Mrs. J. J. Thompson was called the
most artistic flower in the Philadelphia
show and if it were not necky I would
say grow it largely. In the short vase
classes, or classes where a support is
allowed, it is one of the most striking
varieties ever set up. We have had vari-
eties before that have been termed
ostrich plume, but never one that so
closely resembled an ostrich plume in
the exquisite twist and curl of the petaL

A Sterlias Commercial Sort*

Mrs. George Beech -will be a sterling
sort for the commercial grower and while
rather late for an exhibition flower is
far ahead of Yellow Eaton and others
of the class for November shows. I no-
tice it mentioned very prominently in
English periodicals as a grand Christ-
mas variety. Beech is a yellow sport
from Mrs. Swinburne, a variety that you
may recall I sent out last year and which
will be largely grown next year as a late
white, for it has made good everywhere.

Leslie P. Ward, which I named after
our patron and fellow townsman, is one
of the most beautiful combinations of
color I have seen, being old rose with
golden tips to the petals. It is an Aus-
tralian seedling and was exhibited as No.
50. To get the lovely color of this
variety at its best do not take a bud
before September 1 if you can help it, as
earlier buds, while they produce larger
flowers, do not show such fine color.

M. G. Rival is a French sport from
Paola Radaelli, which was a fine thing,
but a poor, undecided color. Rival is a
fine deep yellow, deeper in color than
Col. Appleton, and will be of good serv-
ice, as its growth is fine in every way.

Other Good Australians.

There are several other good kinds in
the Australians, G. J. Brooks, Merstham
Crimson and W. Wells, but time and
space forbid of going into them in detail.
The last named will probably show up
much better this coming season than it
did last, because stock was limited and I
experimented over a wide range of buds
to find the best one.

The introductions of other dissemi-
nators I cannot speak of with any de-
gree of knowledge, not having seen any
of them to speak of. The F. R. Pierson
Co. 's Glenview, a bronzy red, is a good
one and well worth a trial.

Nathan Smith and H. W. Buckbee
both have their usual list of new seed-
lings, but I cannot speak on them, not
having seen them, and we must wait for
another year to pass judgment.

Valuable Object Lesson.

You may, perhaps, ask what is the use
of buying in new kinds every year when
80 many of the older ones are so fine.
If you are an exhibitor you must keep
up with the times and keep buying the
best. »

A valuable object lesson was given at
the Philadelphia show, where, in the
special classes, every prize-winner was a
new variety, or not over two years old,
and there were lots of the older vari-
eties competing. The obvious lesson is
that while progress may be slow, never-
theless it is progress all the time, and the
end is not yet by any means.

C. W. Ward says it takes nearly a
thousand years to add an inch to the
size of a carnation. Progress in the
chrysanthemum is very much faster than
that; if you will look back and see what
has been done in the past twenty years
it is really startling, and, while im-
proved methods of culture have brought
out a good deal, careful and systematic
hybridizing is bringing out very much
more.

Our exhibition last year was the best
we ever had and the flowers were cer-
tainly the largest we ever had staged.
This coming fall I know we shall make
more progress in this direction and the
varieties we have been discussing this
evening will have no small part in the
grand procession.

THE SOUTHWEST.

Great as has been the commercial and
industrial development of all sections of
the United States in the past half dozen
years, no portion of our country has
made greater strides than the south, that
section in which floriculture has been
slowest to assume proportions of import-
ance; and of the south, that great area
west of the Mississippi has progressed
fastest of all. It is just beginning to
be realized that in the southwest lies an
empire rich in all the possibilities of
fruitfulness which are attractive to
strong, resourceful men of large affairs.
Everyone at all familiar with the
florists' business knows that the demand
for flowers comes after the call for the
necessities has been supplied and that
the business in which we are engaged
may struggle along for years during the
pioneer period but always goes forward
at a leap in any community when its
people have w^orked their way to a posi-
tion of prosperity and are ready for
some of the pleasures of life.

For the development of the southwest
a great measure of credit must be given
the railroads and to one railroad man
a considerable part of the development
of floriculture is likely to be due. Col.
E. H. R. Green went to Texas known
only as the son of Hetty Green. He has
attained a position of prominence in the
railroad affairs of the country, being
president of the Texas Midland and in-
terested in many other enterprises.

A number of years ago Col. Green be-
came interested in floriculture and in
1903 organized the Green Floral and
Nursery Co., with himself as president,
Eugene Corley secretary and V. Viaille
manager. They built six houses 24x150
on Mr. Green 's farm at Terrell and
have done well. The business in the
south has grown immensely in the last
few years, hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars' worth of cut flowers being shipped
from the north in the absence of local
supply, and Mr. Green is going ahead
with the building of a big new cut
flower plant on his place just outside of
Dallas, where he makes his home. Mate-
rial has been ordered for seventeen
houses. Nine are to be each 28x200,
five 21x100 and three 10x100. A part
of the plant is to be iron frame, built
by the Burnham-Hitchings-Pierson Co.
The roof material for the cypress houses
comes from the Lockland Lumber Co.
1 he range is to be completed by July 1.

The plan is to devote the entire estab-
lishment to cut flowers for wholesaling
to the florists of the southwest, who now
draw, the bulk of their supplies from
Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago, and
whose requirements are expected to
steadily increase, especially when it is
possible to secure stock within a few
hours of home. The range is to be added
to as the territory is developed. The
plant trade will not be touched at pres-
ent, but adjoining the greenhouses a
nursery of twenty-five acres is being es-
tablished and will be ready next fall.

Novelties of the Year.

Ill looking o\er the new thinos ut' tin-

.Ni'ierican seedling. Morton I'. I'laiit.
This m.ade its first, .and .almost its (uijy,
;i|oie,ar;iiice at lUir own local show, and
we should lie duly proiul of the fact.
This comiuo year, when the e.xpert.s from
other localities ii;i\e it to wurk witli.
some phenomenal flowers are bound to
be shown, (all it an improved Viviand-
Morel, liiit twice tiie size at least that I
e\ei' saw .Morel, aiid we have in a. fe\v
woiils ;! \erv yood descriptiiui of Morton
I'. I'lant, with the aiKlition that tln^
foliaee ami stem are facsimiles of Col.
Appletou. Honor to whom honor is due!

.\lid We owe a o I deal to the Oaille

ilouze brothers for this yr.aml xai'iety.

Ne.\! on the list is Heat rice .May and
it i-- ci'i-f.ainly a beaut v. Tiiis variety
h.i^ de\(doped one serious t'aiilt. from
my own point of view, whicli is that it
is ,alto;^ctlier too modest ami shy in jiro
dii'-in^ .stock, making;' the dissemiiiati(Ui
slow and unsatisfactory. 1 h:id hojieil to

my fondest Impes decay. ' ' .\ml a most

Two Good Reds.

i'erhap.s the next be^t tiling as an

allidumi \ariety in it- cnlor is Mrs.

Henry l'*arf riilye. Ifed vaiieties are

idniost v\itliont exception |iioiie to burn

ill bright sunlight, but Partridge vv'ill not
damp one petal. Almost everyone likt^s
\V. Ii. Church, but so many complain
of its poor growth. Partridge will give
you the Church color and in addition is
.•I grand, dwarf, stocky grower. 1 tried
it on every bud from August 1(J to the
end of Seiitember and it was good on
every one, the late buds showing, as wa.'5
natural, a much thinner llovver.

Another very dwarf variety that
showed similar color to Partridge on
first o])eiiing w;is IMary Ann Pockett,
hut it soon faded to an Indian red. This
variety w:is so very dwarf that I did not
take any notice of it all summer and tiie
llowcr when it developed was a most
.•liMeealde surprise. Mary Ann I'ockett
will be a very vtiluable variety to grow
in ]iots or on a front bench where head
room is restricted.

Wliile on the dwarf varieties (and the
splendid dwarf htibit is one of the
strongest (pialities of the Wells varieties
every ye;<r) I would mention ^lay Sed-
d'lii. It h.ad no chance to j^rove itself
this year, as my stock diil 7iot come fill
late, and it is so very dwarf that it
must }i;i\e a long season of growth to do
it justice. Do not, I beg of you, keep
oi! propagating this variety too' late this
ye.-ir. (!ive it a fair siiow and if it comes
with you .as it lias lieen ufuwii, eleven
incjies .across and eleven inches deep,
ymi will li.ave ;i jiiize-w inner in the
wiiile cl.asses.

Mrs. Dunne a Fine Grower.

-Mrs. John \\. Dunne is a fine grower
and a fine varit'ty, one tliat will give you
lUO jier cent of good flowers. The color
is old rose, very striking and beautiful,
and reminds me of the old Chenon de
l.eche, for years a great favorite -nith
me. Dunne will run up four to five
fc'ct with good culture tind a crown bud
.around August L'O will give you the best
flower.

Another sterling sort, in that every
flower comes good, is Mrs. C. Jleauine.
,a splendid (dean grower, tiiree to four
feet high. Tile color is ]u'etty much
tiie sli.ade seen in (^ueen Ali'x.'indria, a
salmony bron/e. one of the kinds com
monly called off color, but I am free to
confess tluit everyone who saw it in my
iiouses liked it.

Mrs. Wm. Knox, when first expand-
ing, looks distinctly an aristocrat, as
every petal falls n.atur.aliy into its proper
fdace. hut 1 .am sorry to have to confess
tlitit the neck is hardly strong enough to
hold erect the large spreading flower.
In the short vase classes it is a winner,
as it gives ;i flower wifli as large a
spread as F. S. Vallis and .a far neater
.•ippi araiice.

Richardson an Immense Grower.

T. b'icliardson is an inmieuse grower
.and will nmke a stem like ii young tree.
Do mt oveif'eed tills variety, as it has
such .a tremendous root .action it is easy
to ovi'kIo it. The ((doi- is the same
-h.ide as Enchantress carnation. :i jioint
to he considered in (dassing it as a pink.
.\ bml the last week in August is to be
pi t'erred to ail eailier one.

.Mrs. .1. .1. Tiionipsfin w.as c.alled the
most tirtistic flower in the Philadelphia
show and if it were not necky J would
s;iv grow it hirgely. In the short vase
cl;isses, or (d.asses where a siipiiort is
.'iliowt'd, it is one of the most striking
varieties ever set up. Wo have liail vari-

Valuable Object Lesson.

^'ou may, |'i rhajis, ask what is tiie use
of buying in n(>w kinds every y<^ar when
so many ol the older ones are so fine.
If you are an exhiiiitor you must keep
up with the times and keep inlying tlu^
I (est.

A valuable (diject lesson was g;\en at
the ]'hilad(dphia show, where, in the
special (lasses, e\ery |>ri/,e-w inner was a
new \ariely, or not over two velars old,
and there were lots of the (dder vari-
eties ciMtipefing. TIh! (di\ious h'sson is
that while jnogress nmy be sln\\. nmer-
theless it is progress all the time, and the
end is not yet by any means.

<'. W. Ward says it takes nearly a
thousand years to add an incji t() the
s'lY.f of a carnation. rrnyress in the
ehrysantlieinum is very nuich faster than
that ; if ymi will look back and see what
iias been done in the jia^t twenty ye.ars
it is leally startling, and. while im-
}>rove(| metiiods ot' culture li.axe ininiglit
out a u,'""d deal, caretiil and --y^tematii'
hybridizing is brin^in:; eiit \er\ mmdi
more.

Unr exhibition last y(>ar was the best

taiidy.the largest we ever had staged.
This coining fall 1 know we shall make

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Makch 1, 1906.

Col. Green never does anything by
halves. He is throwing his whole energy
into his greenhouses enterprise and al-
ready has two houses up to shelter stock
as it arrives. While on a recent trip
to Chicago much of the rose and carna-
tion stock was bought. A large system
of waterworks is being built. In the
spring Col. Green will put up a residence
at the farm. At present he lives in Dal-
las and goes out to the farm, two miles
away, in a big aiitomobiie bright and
early each morning. Automobiling is
one of his hobbies and his machines are
one of the wonders of the town.

THE RHINEBECK INDUSTRY.

Fifteen years ago there were three
violet growers in Ehinebeck. A thousand
square feet of glass covered their plants.
The superiority of the product created
a growing demand, of which others toolc
advantage and today the number of
owners of violet houses in and near
Bhinebeck village is ninety-two. These
violet growers own 437,850 square feet
of glass. Under their roofs 712,000
plants are producing about 35,000,000
flowers annually, representing a total
income of $175,000 for an average sea-
son's production. The assessed value
of all violet property, as shown by the
tax books, is $68,241^, but the real value
is in excess of .$200,000.

In the 140 houses about 300 people
are employed, except during the sum-
mer, when the young plants require
very little attention. The average house
ia 24x150 and in such a house 6,000
plant.« arc set out. The average plant
yields fifty flowers in the season, so it
■will be seen that 300,000 blooms are
picked and marketed from an average
house. Good stock on an average brings
the grower 50 cents per hundred.

It takes about twenty tons of coal to
keep such a house at tlie right tempera-
ture, which should not exceed 60 degrees
in the daytime and not go lower than
40 degrees at night. First pickings are
made in September and the season usu-
ally ends in April.

Rhinebeck violets are superior because
thoy are lar.ger, have longer stems, a
better color and a more lasting fragrance
than any others on the market. It is a
distinction of which Ehinebeck may be
proud. Shipments are made largely to
New York City. Chicago comes second,
with Philadelphia and Buffalo third, and
a few are sold in Detroit and Cleveland,
with some going to Washington.

People often ask if the industry is
likely to be permanent. As long as the
soil lasts in and about Ehinebeck there
•will be violets. The soil seems to be
just right to develop the plants and
make them what they are. Authorities
on the subject say that there will always
be a demand for violets because they
cannot be obtained for nearly six
months in the year. This cannot now
be said of many other flowers raised for
niaiket.

The violet industry has been a great
boon for every resident of Ehinebeck.
It affords employment for men and
women, boys and girls, and has placed
hundreds of thousands of dollars in cir-
culation in the village and town of

Ehinebeck. The growers come from
almost all the different walks of life,

except some of the professions. There
are in the following list literally
"butchers and bakers and candlestick

makers." To many it will be an inter-
esting compilation:

MEETINGS.

The board of directors of the Society
of American Florists will convene at
Dayton, O., on Monday, March 5, for
its annual session preparatory to the
August convention. All the members of
the board are expected to be present,
together with the officers and a number
of leading members of the society.

Word comes from James N. Cole, in
the name of the Peoria Florists' Asso-
ciation, that the meeting of the Illinois
State Florists' Association, which had
been called for Peoria, March 3, has
again been postponed, to March 9.

SWEET PEA COUNTESS SPENCER.

During the last few years a great and
ever-increasing number of sweet pea
no vd ties have appeared. Scarlet Gem
j)^ Henry Eckford are, perhaps, the two
which have been the greatest advances
in color. Countess Spencer, however, al-
though displaying no new shade, may
safely claim to be one of the most valua-
ble of all recent introductions.

Countess Spencer is a sport from
Prima Donna, but is of a deeper shade
than the latter, the color being a deep,
rosy pink, with a distinct edging of a
much darker shade of rose. Its shape,
however, is its chief characteristic, and
perhaps its most beautiful feature, for
in form it differs from all varieties of
sweet pea previously introduced. The
standard is broad, perfectly upright, not
hooded, but waved or crinkled from the
apex nearly to the center of the flower.
The wings are of good shape and are
very well expanded. There is no variety
of sweet pea larger than Countess Spen-
cer, and it excels all other first-class va-
rieties in the number of four-flowered
stems it produces. The general growth
and habit of the plants are everything
that can be desired.

Perhaps a brief history of the variety
will be interesting. Countess Spencer,
as stated above, originated as a sport
from Prima Donna. Like most florists'
flowers which sport, says a writer. in the
Gardener's Magazine (London), this va-
riety, when it sported, did so on the
grounds of several growers, among whom
must be mentioned Mr, Cole, gardener to
Earl Spencer; Mr. Eckford, the sweet
pea specialist; and Mr. Unwin, of His-
ton. Mr. Sydenham, of Birmingham, ac-
quired the stock from Mr. Cole, and sent
the bulk to be grown for him in Cali-
fornia. In 1904 it was first issued to
and grown by the general public.

Mr. Eckford preserved his sport, which
was identical with that of Mr. Cole,
and distributed it in 1905 under the same
name, Countess Spencer. This stock has
kept almost perfectly true, thus differing
from the other.

Mr. Unwin 's sport, Avhile having the
true Countess Spencer's form, was sev-
eral shades lighter than the others. It
was distributed in 1905 by Messrs. Wat-
kins & Simpson under the name of
Gladys Unwin. After having been very
widely advertised, both in the British
Isles and in America, it was very widely
grown during its first year, and seems
to have come fairly true. There is no
doubt that Gladys Unwin is a very good
variety, but its color does not seem to
last very well when the flowers are
picked. From last year's experience, it
docs not seem to be so valuable a variety
as the true Countess Spencer, and I no-
tice that Thomas Duncan, the well-
known sweet pea grower, of Duns, has

expressed, with some warmth, the same
opinion.

The stock of Countess Spencer distri-
buted by Mr. Sydenham, owing, possibly,
to the fact that almost all known arti-
fices had been resorted to to increase it
rapidly, was very much inclined to sport,
so much so that in 1904 only a small
percentage came true, the remainder be-
ing in some cases valuable varieties hav-
ing the beautiful Countess Spencer form,
but different colors, and in others, and
perhaps the majority of cases, varieties
of little value.

Some growers seem to regret that
Countess Spencer has proved to be so
sportive, but I cannot see that much
other than good can accrue from this
fact; for, instead of one excellent va-
riety, we now have a number, all having
the magnificent Countess Spencer form,
but giving many varied shades of color.
This feeling of satisfaction is accentu-
ated by the fact that in 1905 non-sport-
ing stocks of Countess Spencer were dis-
tributed, thus showing that with some
growers at least the variety had been
fixed.

THE READERS' CORNER.

Another Dose for Rats.

I will give you my scheme for getting
rid of rats in greenhouses. I was both-
ered several weeks with them eating to-
matoes, before tryiqg this very simple
and effective remedy. Take three parts
corn meal and one part plaster of Paris,
mix thoroughly and place where the rats
can get at it in places frequented by
them. Two doses cleaned them out for
me and no bad after-results, as they
seem to have gone outside the houses
in quest of a final resting place. I

tried eats but they would not tackle the
large rats; besides, it is hard for a cat
to get at them where there are so many
places to hide. This remedy is worth
trying, as it is inexpensive and simple.

C. D. G.

T am having trouble with one of my
neighbors in regard to the smoke and
gas from my furnace entering his house.
Have any other florists who read the
Eeview had a like experience? If so,
I would like to have them tell their ex-
perience in the Review. Would espe-
cially like to hear from New York state
growers, as the laws of this state may
be different from others. I am using
soft coal. C. L. W.

CONCRETE FLOORS.

In making boiler room floors of con-
crete, the concrete should be deposited in
layers of from four to six inches and
thoroughly tamped before it begins to
harden. The tamping required will de-
pend upon the consistency of the mix-
ture. If mixed very dry, it must be
vigorously rammed to produce a dense
mass, but as the proportion of water
increases less tamping will be found
necessary. Concrete should not be
dumped in place from a height of more
than four feet, unless it is again mixed
at the bottom. A wooden incline may
be used for greater heights. Rammers
for ordinary concrete work should weigh
from twenty to thirty pounds and have
a face not exceeding six inches square.
A smaller face than this is often desir-
able, but a larger one will be less ef-
fective in consolidating the mass. When
a thickness of more than one layer is
required, as in foundation work, two or
more layers may be worked at tiie same

time, each layer slightly in advance of
the one next above it and all being al-
lowed to set together. ' For a boiler room
floor there should be a slight incline to a
well where water may be pumped out.

To give a neat appearance to the fin-
ished work, a dressing of cement mor-
tar is spread over the concrete, well
worked in, and brought to a perfectly
smooth surface with straight edge and
float. This mortar should be mixed in
the proportion one part cement to two
parts sand.

For general use the following mix-
tures are recommended: One part
cement, two parts sand, four aggregate,
for very strong and impervious work;
one part cement, two and one-half parts
sand, five aggregate, for ordinary work
requiring moderate strength; one part
cement, three parts sand, six aggregate,
for work where strength is of minor im-
portance.

WHITE VINCA.

i desire to know if there is anything
of a plant known as a white vinea and
if it is possible to get it. I have seen
wliite foliage on Vinca variegata; that
is the ro.TSon I am asking your opinion.

D. F. S.

The variegated form of Vinca major
or trailing spiecies will sometimes send
out a fijrowth that is entirely white or
pale yellow. This could not be perpetu-
ated, as the plant would not have the
vitality to grow. Vinca rosea is of erect
habit and is tender and useful only as
a summer bedding. Its flower is vari-
able, mostly rosy purple and often pure
white. Any particular variety of Vinca
rosea can only be perpetuated by cut-
tings. ' W. S.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

All the pretty girls have put on sack-
cloth and ashes, the large balls are over
and society has given up the business
of entertaining. The result is a grad-
ually declining market, with probabil-
ity of a further drop next week. So
far carnations and bulbous flowers have
most felt the lessening demand. Eoses
are still so far from plentiful that
values have been fairly maintained.
Orchids are abundant and of fine quality.
Sweet peas are becoming an important
factor. They have never been finer at
this season and are exceptionally good
value for the money. One commission
merchant, S. S. Pennock, offers four dif-
ferent colors in twice that many shades.
The lower prices of violets have in-
creased the demand and business in these
dainty flowers is better than for some
weeks past. , "While rosfes are still scarce,
American lEleauties are becoming a little
more plentiful. Edw. Eeid filled orders
for 800 specials in Baltimore and "Wash-
ington last week.

It is interesting to note that figures
based on 1^ year's business show that
the returns' from the sale of cut flowers
during Lent fully equal those of the six
weeks previous. More stock is sold at
lower priceg. It is • also interesting to
note that the street men paid higher
prices last Saturday than ever before
known in this city. These fakirs paid
in many instances $3 a hundred for se-
lect carnations, took them in large quan-
tities and returned for more. Under
these conditions the street industry is
an important factor in the cut flower
business during times of overproduction
in certain lines.

The Assembly BalL

There is a vast difference in the style
of decorating. The old idea of decorat-
ing was to conceal ugly corners, or im-
perfect places on the wall. This was
often done with plants that were imper-
fect themselves, the name of "decora-
tive" stock being given to plants that
were not good enough to be classed as
perfect specimens. The result of this
style of decorating frequently led to
overcrowding, plants necessarily being
massed closely in order to give the effect
and to conceal their imperfections. The
higher style of decorating consists in
using perfect plants in such a way as
to show their symmetry, the beautiful
proportions of a plant properly placed
heightening the effect of a beautiful
ballroom, parlor, or stairway.

This idea, which may be fairly con-
sidered as the advanced form of decorat-
ing, found expression in the decorations
arranged by John P. and Edward
Habermehl for the last Assembly ball,
held on February 23 in the Bellevue-
Stratford. The beautiful ballroom, mas-
sive stairway and handsome anterooms
were never seen to better advantage than
on this occasion. The features of the
decoration were a magnificent specimen
of Cibotium Schiedei and the pyramid
azaleas, beautifully flowered. Pink was
the predominating color in flowers.
Green was used to great advantage in
forming the stage-setting for the orches-
/ tra of ninety pieces. The arrangement
of flowers on the supper tables differed
from former years. The low vases were
abandoned. Fully 100 tall vases were
used. Each vase was filled with a hand-
some bouquet of fancy flowers, one' va- j

riety, American Beauties, Bridesmaids,
white lilac, snapdragon, Easter lilies and
fancy carnations, the high vase idea be-
ing intended to allow the guests to see
each other clearly, while the effect on
entering the room was much enhanced.

Sharon Hill.

Alex. B. Scott, managing partner of
the firm of Eobt. Scott & Son, rose
grower, forcer of Easter plants, grafter
(in the pure, not the wicked sense),
gardenia specialist, American agent
for the firm of Alex. Dickson & Sons,
Belfast, Ireland, and producer of miscel-
laneous plants for the mailing business
of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., is unques-
tionably one of the coming men.

Mr. Scott's ambition has steadily in-
creased his place at Sharon Hill until

interesting places near Philadelphia. An

season for Beauties, while later, in the
fall, another range was put up for Crim-
son Eambler and Dorothy Perkins roses
for Easter forcing. This will be supple-
mented, as before mentioned in the Ee-
viEW, by another range of short-span
houses to be erected for Beauties next
spring. Literally, this range is for
Eichmonds, as the increase will be in
that rose and not in Beauties, but noth-
ing is too good for the American Beauty,
so the new houses will be planted with
that rose, while some of the older Beauty
houses will be devoted to Eichmonds.

Killarney will also be more largely
grown. Mr. Scott is much pleased with
this Irish favorite, the preference being
given to grafted plants ovejr those on
their own roots. Eegarding the older
varieties, grafted Bridesmaids looked ex-
ceptionally well and are in full crop at
present. Brides had been pruned and
were making good growth; two-year-old
plants. Beauties had been grown in beds,
as an experiment. Mr. Scott had always
favored benches in the past. I am under
the impression that the new houses will
be planted in benches with this rose.

The gems of the whole collection were
200 Irish roses, imported last fall, now
on trial, part in Liberty and part in
Bridesmaid temperature. There are
twenty-seven varieties in all, and each
will be given a thorough test, to decide
whether the good qualities noted in

Ireland remain after their journey over
the sea. Among these varieties is th»
far famed Betty, exquisite in iSbloring^
almost unrivaled as an outdoor rose,|.
though not desirable as a cut flower.

Dorothy Perkins will make her debut
here next Easter. The plants are grown-
somewhat in the style of Crimson Eam-
bler for forcing. They look well.

I neglected to say that among the
Eichmonds was one plant that has showa
a tendency to climb. It is being watched
with interest. I might write a great
deal more of interest about this place,,
to me one of the most fascinating of the'
many I visited, but lack of space com-
pels me to close with merely a mention
of the great amount of grafting that is
being done. The young plants, both
grafted and own root, are full of vigor.

Various Notes.

C. C. Pqllworth and Mrs. Pollworth^
of Milwaukee, spent a day in Philadel-
phia on their way home. The fact that
their wedding cards did not reach us
until after they departed interfered with
the time-honored custom of rice and old
shoes.

The many visitors to M. Eice & Co.
these days find a large and complete
line of both supplies and ribbons.

Albert Harvey & Sons, Brtindy wine
Summit, have decided to bu^d three
trussed houses 21x200. The cnrder has
been placed with the Burnham-Hitch-
' in^-Pierson Co., through their represen-
tative, D. T. Connor. This is "'virtually
a new style of houft in the carnation;
district, there being no ridge or purlin
supports. The same representative has
placed an order for Benj. T. Allen, of
304 Wister street, Germantown, for a
house 20x100, with stone sides, to be
used as a conservatory.

Wm. A. Walton, of Oxford, has been
very successful with Carnation Gov. Wol-
cott. He believes this variety to be
the greatest white. His stock seen at
the Flower Market is very fine.

The Leo Niessen Co. has an excep-
tionally nice lot of cattleyas, also white
and pink orchids in quantity.

Wm. Bidden, of West Philadelphia,,
continues to send fine shipments of
Helen Eeid carnation to Edw. Eeid. Mr.
Eeid believes this carnation to be in
the front rank of shipping varieties. By
some it is preferred to Mrs. Lawson,^
which it resembles in color.

Berger Bros, are handling some very
fine Princess of Wales violets.

Eugene Bernheimer is handling excep-
tionally fine Princess violets, in quan-
tity; also single and double stocks, pink
and white. The best double pink this
week measured about thirty-six inches
and was the best ever seen in the mar-
ket.

Tuesday evening, March 6, and will be
known as rose night. All the novelties

among the queen of flowers are hoped
for and expected, among them Miss

TWIN QTIES.

The Market.

Trade has been very good. The ma-
jority could have done more but for
the scarcity of stock. All varieties of
roses have been hard to get. Carnations
have been coming fairly well and the
quality is certainly good. Our leading
stores have had no difficulty in getting
$1 a dozen and in some cases $1.50 a dozen
for them. Violets l|xve been in great de-
mand and one safely can say that there
has been an increase of fifty per cent
in the sale of them this year over a year
ago. The single varieties are in great
demand and it is a hard matter to find
a dealer that handles very many doubles.
Bulbous stock is both good and plenti-
ful. Prices have kept up nicely, al-
though some of the department stores
are gradually working into the special
sales.

Minneapolis.

Will & Son will increase their plant
by 75,000 feet of glass. This, with
what they now have, will give them in
the neighborhood of 150,000 feet, which
is possibly the largest plant in this sec-
tion. The new glass is now mostly on
the ground, coming from Sharpe, Par-
tridge & Co., Chicago.

Donaldson's have not as yet been able
to grow sufficient to supply their re^il
trade. "''

Rice Bros, report a good trade, and
80 far have been able to get good stock.
Their demand is not only local, but large
shipments are made daily into the
smaller towns. The care they take in se-
lecting good stock for their trade no
doubt will well repay them.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. is sending
in large numbers of tulips, jonquils and
daffodils, also fine stock of the new
pink rose, Miss Kate Moulton. John
Monson says he contemplates adding
three or four new houses this spring.

St.PauL

The L. L. May & Co. greenhouses are
crowded with plants for the Easter
trade. They have had fine success with
the Killarney rose. It is the only place
in this section where this variety is
grown in large numbers. Mr. Hoffman,
manager of the retail department, re-
ports a large trade the past week.

The Swanson Floral Co. has two large
weddings for this week. Gus Colberg

v..

J. C. Rennison.

looked quite worn out after working
until 2 a. m. Sunday, to get out a
large number of designs for the early
train.

R. C. Seeger is cutting some very nice
roses and carnations, but has none to
sell wholesale, getting only a sufficient
number for his retail trade.

The bogus check man is still in this
locality and it seems he is very partial
to florists, not less than four of our
dealers having been victimized within
the past two weeks.

The social event of the past week was
a ball given by the Minnesata Boat -Club.
The' decorations were furnished by two
of our florists for advertising purposes

OBITUARY.

Death of J. C. Rennison.

In the sudden death of J. C. Renuisou,
which occurred at his home at Sioux
City, la., on February 24, the trade lost
one of its best known members. Mr.
Rennison had spent a lifetime of hard
work in the greenhouse business. He was
one of the oldest members of the Soci-
ety of American Florists, a regular at-
tendant at the conventions, a wide trav-
eler, a hale fellow well met in spite of his
67 years and he numbered as his friends
probably as many of those in the trade
as any one whose occupation is not travel-
ing and making friends.

Mr. Rennison 's death came without
warning. A week ago he fell on an ice-
coated sidewalk, suffering a blow upon
the head which caused a blood clot which
resulted in his death. He had not been
thought seriously injured until the morn-
ing of his demise.

J. C. Rennison was born in Newburg,
N. Y., in 1839. His training in garden-
ing began while he was a boy, in the
employ of Dr. Grant, on lona Island in
the Hudson, where grapes were grown.

He was in the florists' business in New-
burg when the civil war broke out. Mr.
Rennison organized a company in New--
burg and served until the end of the war.
In 18(33 he was commissioned for his
services captain in the Twenty-fifth New
York Cavalry. His regiment fought the
campaigns of the Army of the Potomac
and was with Sherman on his march to
the sea.

At the close of the war Mr. Rennison
married and located at Bloomington, 111.^
where he conducted a nursery business
for seven years. He then removptkt.to
C^ii«ago and engaged in market ^Ir8fen-
iug for nine years, going thence to SioUx
City and establishing the business which
he has conducted up to the present
time. At the time of starting at Sioux
City the product of the greenhouses was
Marechal Niel, Papa Gontier and Safrano
roses and jjot plants, the latter being a
large part of the business. Mr. Renni-
son was a thorough grower and in recent
years lias been very successful with the
carnation and chrysanthemum and also
with the rose, considering the unfavor-
ably light character of the soil in his
locality.

The establishment has grown steadily
since 1882 and it is stated that the plant
is worth $40,000. Arrangements have
recently been made to enlarge the glass
and to locate the retail department in
a new and well appointed corner store
down-town. The business will be carried
on by the widow and children, Walter S.
Rennison and Fannie L. Rennison.

The funeral was held February 26,
conducted by the Christian Scientists.
The Grand Army and the Knights of
Pythias were largely represented and the
local members of the trade were present.
A number of floral designs were sent by
those in the trade at a distance.

Carkick, Pa.— W^m. C. Klein has only
recently returned from a prolonged
southern trip.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

There was steady retrogression
throughout last week. Starting strong
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday al-
ready saw the weakening tendency, and
by Friday and Saturday conditions were
the most unfavorable which have pre-
vailed- in weeks. Roses were the only
things which held their values. The sup-
ply in this department has not at any
time since the holidays been more than
equal to the demand. All other items
required price concessions to clean out
stock and Saturday night found the
market with large quantities of carna-
tions, bulbous stock and, especially, vio-
lets to carry over. Sunday did not make
any impression on the surplus. The
New Orleans Mardi Gras business was no-
table, but only for its absence. The
shipments south were much less than in
recent years, possibly because prices
were considerably above the normal level
for this season, but probably largely be-
cause the mild winter is affording a
large supply of outdoor flowers at the
south. Mississippi jonquils reached this
market February 20. Heretofore about
March 12 has been the usual date of
first arrival.

Saturday was an exceedingly unpleas-
ant day and the retailers bought almost
nothing. Many of them had, on Friday
evening, stocked heavily on carnations
and violets, which they were unable to
dispose of either Saturday or Sunday,
and which they had on hand Monday
morning. This naturally gave this week
a poor start so far as local business is
concerned. The cold weather is serving
to check receipts, but nevertheless there
is a large surplus of bulbous stock and
an ample supply of carnations, so that
averages will show a considerable falling
off. Violets suffer especially. Roses
hardly hold their own, but nevertheless
prices are well above normal. Quality
is excellent in every department.

The Deamud Company.

With the opening of the doors this
morning the business of John B. Deaaiud
passed to the John B. Deamud Co., for
which application for a charter has been
made. Mr. Deamud is to be president of
the corporation, Wm. Kyle vice-president
and Miss Emmett secretary. Mr.
Kyle has for many years been with
the Kennicott Bros. Co. and is one
of the best liked young men in the mar-
ket. Miss Emmett has had charge of
Mr. Deamud 's books for a long period.
The new firm proposes to considerably
extend the business.

At Poehlmannville,

Fred Frillman, for seven years book-
keeper for the Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
most of the time employed at the green-
houses at Morton Grove, but spending
a part of each week at the city store,
died February 21 of pneumonia. He was
43 years of age and leaves a wife and
three children.

Fred Kaeding has been arrested,
charged with the theft of $580 in cur-
rency, which John Ahrens, a gardener
at Adolph Poehlmann 's plant, had
lioarded in a trunk at their boarding
liouse.

Various Notes.

There was much regret at receipt of
the tidings of the death of J. C. Renni-
son, whitii cnmo to hand February 24.

There was a meeting Wednesday
afternoon at the office of the Benthey-
Coatsworth Co. to discuss further plans
for the Peoria convention of the State
Florists' Association, which has been
postponed to March 9. Chairman James
Hartshorne presided. The carnation ex-
hibition of the Chicago Florists' Club
takes place March 8 and a large party
will go directly from the club meeting
to the train for Peoria.

George Keller & Sons' pottery at 3G1
Herndon street was visited by fire on
the morning of February 28. The dam-
age was sufficiently great that it is
thought it will take thirty days to get
back into shape to ship orders for pots.

G. M. Dickinson is again suffering
with rheumatism, and Flint Kennicott is
able to be about only with the use of
his cane.

Klehms' Nursery is having exception-
ally good results with the Novelty tulip
this year. They are sending Kennicott
Bros, Co. 800 to 1,000 a day, finely
colored and as like as peas in a pod.

E. C. Amling is receiving Glendale
carnation from W. J. & M. S. Vesey.
The flowers are fine and it takes well.
The retailers say it has fine keeping
qualities.

Harry Rowe expects to move next week
to his new store at 42 Monroe street,
in the Palmer House block, where he
will have very fine facilities. J.
Bruckner, recently with A. Lange and
now doing business as the Majestic
Florist, has made a lease on Mr. Rowe's
old store from May 1.

W. E. Lynch calls attention to the
fact that most common ferns now being
shipped are slightly frozen and should
be placed in a cool place, without being
dampened, to thaw out gradually.

Ed Kanst was the speaker before the
Gardeners ' Union at its meeting Wednes-
day evening.

A. L. Vaughan is at New Orleans this
week.

Peter Reinberg is having an excep-
tionally large cut of short Beauties at
present. Beauty crops in general are
on the increase.

The Florists' Club's carnation show
March 8 will be held at room 531 on the
fifth floor of the Atlas block, in the room
recently vacated by Joseph Ziska.

N. J. Wietor has been fully occupied
the last ten days in the management of
St. Henry's annual church bazaar, whicli
came to an end on Tuesday.

J. A. Budlong reports a good New
Orleans demand last week.

Last Saturday Weiland & Risch began '
grading for their new range of glass,
which will exactly double their plant
and which will be, like the present range,
all devoted to roses.

The Retailers' Association met last
Thursday evening in Handel hall. Re-
ports were made as to progress in the
association 's various enterprises.

A. L. Randall Co. is handling apple
blossoms and bridal wreath spiraea from
Emil Buettner.

Bassett & Washburn do quite a retail
business at Hinsdale, where many of
Chicago 's business men reside, and had
a large wedding decoration on Monday.

The Chicago Rose Co. had a shipment
of Scottii ferns last week, which sold
out very quickly.

One of the local dailies with a pen-
chant for scare heads found some of its
favorite material last week in the set-
tlement of differences between Amelia
Schafer and John Assa.

Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, report
a big increase in their sales of boilers
and say conditions are such that they

Washington and Idaho.

I.iester Partridge, of Sharpe, Par-

greenhouse glass is entirely unprecedent-
ed. Sales have been heavy in car lots
and the market is steadily stiffening.
Mr. Partridge says that before the sea-

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The past week about wound up the
weddings, receptions and dinners, as
Lent is here. The west end florists
were especially busy. The weather was
favorable for the decorators. The down-
town florists also had a good word to
say for business; the counter sales

and funeral work kept them very busy
all the week.

Extra fancy stock of all kinds has
been scarce, roses particularly so. Not
near enough came in for the demand and
prices were high for the grade of stock
that was obtainable. Long fancy Beau-
ties sold well. Plenty of short-stemmed
stock was on hand, but very poor. Car-
nations held up well and the market
had enough to fill all orders, both local
and shipping. Quality is very fine.
Lawson and Enchantress are in most de-
mand.

Bulbous stock of every variety is in
the market, with daffodils, tulips and
Paper Whiter a drug. Dutch hyacinths
and valley are selling well. Harrisii
and callas are somewhat scarce. Violets
glutted the market last week, but sold
well at cheap prices. The bulk of them
were Californias. The market is well
supplied with greens.

Various Notes,

The growers are all busy, looking after
their Easter stock, and report lilies look-
ing well, with very little disease among
them. Messrs. Sanders, Windier, Schray,
Beyer and Jablonsky are well stocked
up.

rows, spent a few days at his old home

DETROIT.

The Market.

Business has been exceedingly brisk.
Both Valentine's day and Washington's
birthday helped create quite a demand
for a variety of flowers. Violets sold in
larger quantities than in former years
for these holidays.

The weather has been quite mild, with
a good deal of sun, being very favorable
for roses and carnations, which have im-
proved considerably in quality, but are
still very scarce. White roses, especially,
are scarce. Carnations are 'coming in
larger quantities, white and Enenantress
sell readily at $2.50 to $3 per hundred;
Lawson bring $2 per hundred. Eed car-
nations were in big demand the past
three weeks. Tulips and daffodils are
a glut at present. Smilax and other
greens are not overplentiful.

Among the Retailers.

Beginning a visit to the retail stores
with the Detroit Floral Co., we find Rob-
ert Flowerday a very busy man. He is
seldom seen among the trade except on
meeting night, as he has his hands full
looking after a large span of glass as
well as the store. Mrs. Flowerday is an
able assistant, looking after the store
when her husband is busy elsewhere.
' Wm. Brown is doing a nice business,
getting his share of the funeral and deco-
rative work. He also has the able as-
sistance of his wife, who always wears
a smile, no matter how long she has
to keep the coffee warm, waiting for
William to finish some design.

From here we go diagonally across the
avenue, where we find E. A. Fetters; al-

though the youngest firm in Detroit,
they by no means do the least business.
The tasty window displayed by this en-
terprising firm is a great drawing card
and should set an example for all re-
tailers. Mr. Fetters always keeps his
window just a little ahead of the times,
and no doubt it serves as a gentle re-
minder to many passers-by. Miss Fetters
is also a great help looking after the
books.

George Leadley is the next down the
street. He makes good use of a large
show window, always showing a good,
fresh collection of flowers and blooming
plants.

At Sullivan's it is the same old song;
work until you cannot rest. It is a won-
der Norman does not get thin. With
sleeves rolled up to his elbows, he is
generally making up some design. Mrs.
Sullivan is always on deck, wearing a
pleasant smile for all comers.

Taking a jaunt up a side street we

find Sehroeter's, head over heels in fu-
neral work, this being their long suit,
although they get their share of the
decorative work also. Having a 100-foot
house in connection with their store,
they are always able to display a fine
collection of plants in season. It is
easily to be seen that Mr. Sehroeter's
hobby is orchids and, judging from the
perfect blooms on his plants, he stands
alone as an orchid grower among De-
troit 's florists.

On the next corner is Breitmeyer's
elaborate new ^tore, where an extra large
force of help is always kept busy. Among
a number of decorations this firm had
charge of were those for the banquet
tendered Secretary of War Taft by the

red and white predominating. F. Dan-

Wholesale Florists and Florists* Supplies

■

SEVERAL REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY
YOUR FLORISTS' SUPPLIES FROM US

I. We have just opened the Florists' Supply Department and every article is new
and free from soil or damage.

IL No article will ever be shipped from our house unless it is in perfect condition
and as represented.

III. Buyers of our Supplies are given to understand and are respectfully requested
to return at our expense any article that is not satisfactory on arrival.

IV. We are the largest Cut Flower Supply House in the West and we do not rely
entirely upon the profits of the Florists' Supply Department.

V. We have no salesmen on the road, thereby saving you one profit which we
give you in the form of quality, as our goods are our only salesmen and must talk for
themselves.

Talk is cheap and these few remarks mean nothing to you or us unless you can
see a vein of truth between the lines and avail yourself, by at least writing for our cata-
logue and giving us one order.

treat for the public when it is zero

At Taepke's we find Manager Walter
Taepke a busy young man. They have
a large share of the funeral work, espe-
cially among the Germans. Their own
houses keep them pretty well supplied
with roses and carnations, though at
times the commission house is pressed
into service. The Taepkes are prominent
members of the Concordia Singing So-
ciety.

A mile farther up the street we find
E. 0. Koehler doing a nice business at
his new store. Besides doing consider-
able funeral work, Mr. Koehler handles
a large assortment of plants.

Just opposite police headquarters is
the Bemb Floral Co. Although the man-
ager, Albert Pochelon, is one of the
shortest members of the club in stature,
he is by no means the least in point of

activity. This establishment reminds one
of a kitchen cabinet. Although utilizing
but a small piece of property, everything
is arranged so conveniently that they
carry about as complete a stock as any-
one in town.

Last, but not least, of the down-town
florists, is the McHugh Floral Co., on
Michigan avenue, doing a nice business,
running mostly to funeral work.

Various Notet.

Theodore Siebenhuener, for the past
seventeen years in the employ of Breit-
meyer's Sons, died suddenly February
23, aged 43 years. His loss will be
keenly felt by the Breitmeyers, having
been one of their most trustworthy em-
ployees. For twelve years Mr. Sieben-
huener had charge of the greenhouse
alongside of their old store and since the
erection of the new building he looked
after the plant department.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

The past week has been one of con-
tinuous rain, making it a hard proposi-
tion to grow good stock and causing
social functions to lapse, so that busi-
ness is not as brisk as formerly. Stock
is showing the effects of the continued
wet, cloudy weather and a little sun-
shine would be gladly welcomed by the
growers. All the growers in this sec-
tion report splendid business on Valen-
tine's day, which is one of the florists'
harvest days. Christmas and Valentine's
days are the days here, while Easter
there is but very little done except with
some churches.

Decoration day in the north marks
the closing of the planting season and
is generally observed there; here it isn't
even thought of, and no effort is made
to keep stock that long, as the planting
season ends a month or more earlier.
'The planting season commences about
the middle of March and ends about
May 1. All the growing must be done
before the latter part of June, for,
after that until the last of September,
everything stops growing except vincas,
which enjoy the heat and bloom luxur-

iantly. Asters, gladioli, tuberoses, dah-
lias and, in fact, nearly all soft-wooded
stock must be grown in shade houses to
get good results.

Roses out of doors are at their best
in October and November. Geraniums,
except in sandy soil, do not do well,
and, if grown at all in this kind of soil,
must be grown in the coolest place that
can be found. We have four different
kinds of soil here: light sandy, dark
sandy, gray loam, and what is known
here as black waxy; the latter soil is
considered the most valuable and farms
of that variety of soil command the best
prices. Land is very cheap, considering
the prices obtained north, but whatever
growing is done must be done early in
the spring or late in the fall.
Vegetables, with the possible excep-
tion of sweet potatoes, will not
keep in this climate, and the man will
be lucky who can devise a means to keep
vegetables during the winter.

The plant of H. O. Hannah & Son,
of Sherman, recently caught fire from

some unknown cause, but supposed to be
due to defective electrical construction.
The fire occurred early in the morning,
and destroyed the boiler room and a
large stock of seeds and bulbs which
were stored there. Fortunately, the wind
was blowing away from the greenhouses
and there was very little loss to growing
stock. Mr. Hannah CfV-ried no insurance.

0. C. Mayhew, manager of the Texas
Nursery Co., of Sherman, was one of the
visitors from this section at the carna-
tion convention at Boston.

The event of the season in a social
way here is the annual reception given
by' the Kidd-Key Female College, of
Sherman, on Washington's birthday.
Mrs. Key, the head of the institution,
used this year over 200 pounds of smilax,
from fifty to sixty palms, 200 roses and
about 400 carnations, not saying any-
thing of various pot-plants for decora-
tive purposes. H. O. Hannah & Son
have filled the bill now for a number
of years and have filled the order again

The Market.

Business the past week has been fine,
and all kinds of stock moved at good
prices. The demand kept the whole-
salers busy hunting for stock, and send-
ing out to the greenhouses for stock to
fill special orders.

Various Notes.

Mr. Smith, of the firm of Smith &
Fetters, is on a business trip in the east,
and was last heard from in New York.

James Eastwell, of the same firm, is
taking a short vacation, which leaves
Mr. Pruzen in charge of the store, with
more work than it seems possible for
one man to look after.

H. E. Carlton, the originator of the
Herrick violet, is sending the Cleveland
Cut Flower Co. some of the finest blooms
seen this season, and the demand is
larger than the supply. The Herrick
violet is certainly a very free bloomer;

Club Meeting.

On Monday evening the Cleveland Flo-
rists' Club held its carnation exhibit in
the club room. A fine display of cut
flowers was shown by the following
growers :

Fred Burki, Pittsburg, Pa., twenty-
five blooms each of Flamingo, Lady
Bountiful and Fred Burki; this exhibit
arrived in fine condition, and made a
grand show.

F. R. & P. M. Pierson showed a vase
each of Variegated Lawson, Winsor and
Helen M. Gould, all of which were
greatly admired by the members who
commented on the keeping qualities of
these varieties as shown by their long
journey and the fact that they were
shipped Saturday afternoon, not arriv-
ing at the hall until 7 p. m. Monday.

Bate Bros, staged a vase each of Bed
Lawson, Mrs. Patten, Fred Burki, White
Lawson, Cardinal, La,w8on, Enchantress,
a very dark sport of Enchantress and a
salmon sport of Enchantress. All of
these blooms were fine, but not grown
for exhibition purposes, being selected
from the daily cut.

Merkle & Son, of Mentor, O., exhib-
ited a vase each of Fred Burki, White
Lawson, Lawson and Enchantress, and
they were aJl fine.

The Ohio Floral Co. showed a fine se-
lection of Lawson, Enchantress and
Flamingo; a vase of white sweet peas
that were extra fine. Their vases of
Brides, Golden Gates and Maids were
the finest the writer has ever seen on
exhibition in this city. Their growers
certainly deserve great credit for what
they have accomplished.

Mr. Coe, of Coe Bidge, showed a fine
vase of Albertini which is one of the
best producers and money makers he
has.

Mr. Blacksmith, our Miles avenue
florist, had a fine vase of Enchantress
and Lawson. He makes a specialty of
growing carnations.

John Kelley, gardener for Mr. Wade,
who has the finest private houses here,
staged a vase of Princess narcissus and
a fine vase of Lawson.

H. R. Carlton, of Willoughby, showed
a fine vase of his single violetj Governor
Herrick, which he claims to be the freest
bloomer grown, many plants producing
250 blooms in a season. Its keeping
qualities are fine ; he has a good thing.

E. Wisusco, of Glenville, had a beau-
tiful vase of Princess of Wales, with
large flowers and 12-inch stems. Mr.
Wasco makes this violet a specialty and
is having good success with it.

The Cleveland Cut ilower Co. showed
one of their hand sprayers for using
tobaccx) ^'xtracts to exterminate green
fly and red spider on all greenhouse
plants. Many of the largest growers
are using it with good success, and they
were called on to express their opinions
on it, which led to quite an interesting
talk on bug exterminators.

A committee of three, consisting of
A. Graham, Sr., Ed. George and Mr.
Myers, was appointed by Pres. Bloy to
report on the exhibits and they com-
plied in a very able manner.

Mr. Kennedy made a very eloquent
plea for more of these exhibitions, and
advocated the holding of a large flower
show at least twice a year for the
benefit of the public. This was ably
seconded by Chas. Schmidt, who said
these shows always helped business and
matle many new customers. It is bound
to come; and why shouldn't the florists
interest the public in the goods they
have to soil as well as the automobile
manufacturers, or grocers in their pure
food shows, which are such great suc-
cesses here every year? Cleveland is
getting to be a 'large city, but it does
not commence to use the quantity of
flowers that many smaller towns of less
wealth use. C.

The Market.

Lent began on Wednesday. Its
shadow was cast before. The market
began to feel its influence on Monday.
Beauties fell to 60 cents each for the
best and all other grades suffered in
unison. Brides and Maids fell from $15
to $12 and then to $10 per hundred for
the best and are likely to stay there.
Violets were not in demand and 50 cents
will likely be top for some time to come.
Carnations, too, felt the strain and all
grades retrograded about twenty per
cent from last week's quotations.

Orchids were none too plentiful and
good cattleyas easily held at 60 cents
each. Bulbous stock was enormous in
shipments and weak in price. Lilies,
when perfect, touched 15 cents each.
The early distribution of the Easter
plants is ill-advised. It seems like rush-
ing the season. By Easter these will
have lost their prestige and it may not
be a "plant Easter" after all. Window
decoration is growing in beauty and
competition is keen. The weather is
spring-like. With the advent of March
the winter is over before it had begun.
We gladly speed the parting guest.

most unique and charming.
" At McConnell 's the outdoor display
has been as full and Eastery as if the
holiday had arrived. Last week apple
trees in full bloom in tubs, rhododen-
drons, large forsythias, acacias, hydran-
geas, magnolias. Azalea mollis, Baby
Eamblers, lilacs, azaleas, pots of tulips
and hyacinths combined to remind one
that Easter is less than seven weeks
away. Richmond rose is a favorite here
and is used expensively. At the Wash-
ington's V)irthday dinner at George
Gould's, a most beautiful effect was pro-
duced by the use of large cherry trees
in bloom and fruit, set in large, low-
baskets wltli--'red roses as a base, while
full-sized axes were made entirely of
Richmond roses. The tables were 6x14
feet and were none too large for the
display.

Another original decoration was that
made by Thos. Young, Jr., at the Uni-
versity Club on Saturday evening. The
occasion was a farewell banquet to twen-

ty members of the club leaving the fol-
lowing day on the Coronia for Europe.
An exact counterpart of the big steamer
was made in violets with white and yel-
low daisies for the upper decks and
narcissi for the port-holes. The wafvr
was represented by mignonette, with val-
ley and hyacinths, neatly arranged to
signify the foam. The shore line was
traced in green moss with narcissi as
the crest of the waves breaking. Every
detail was carried out perfectly. Four
rows of port-holes were shown, while
at one end of the table New York City
and Long Island were illustrated and at
the other end Genoa and Gibraltar. The
boat was three feet high. The whole
effect was most interesting and credit-
able to the artist who designed it.

Hitehings & Co. will have their ofKces

the Pennsylvania will run tiioir tracks
to the center of the works. The firm
will also here be close to the waterway

The Market.

The past week proved to be a most
satisfactory one all around. Prices
lield up until Saturday, when they soft-
ened bomewhat. Owing to the continued
warm and clear weather, more sugges-
tive of April than February, there has
been a heavy increase in the output,
particularly in the case of violets, car-
nations and bulbous stock, while we
never saw sweet peas so abundant at
the season. American Beauty roses are
still scarce, realizing $6 a dozen for the
best. The new crop, however, will soon
be in. Brides sell well, short stems
making $5, extra select up to $2 per
dozen. Maids and Chatenay vary from
$4 to $12. Liberty goes from $.5 to
$10. Other roses continue in rather
short supply.

Carnations have dropped- a little all
Mround. This is not to be wondered at,
considering the tremendous output com-
ing in. Prices vary from $1.50 to $4,
only the poor stock making the lowest
j.rice, from $2 to $3 being the average
j)iice. Violets arc arriving in tremen-
<l()us quantities. Prices vary from 30
cents to GO cents, a few extras still

quite large numbers and meet with a
fair demand.

Various Notes.

Prof. H. r. Hall, of Durham, N. H.,
spoke at Horticultural hall on February
24 on "Vegetable Breeding." A good
discussion followed, some of the lec-
turer's statements being criticised.

At the last club meeting, in addition
to exhibits named in the last number of
the Review, there was a scarlet sport
from Carnation Harlowarden from Mrs.
J. P. Snow and a very good scarlet from
John Murchie, Sharon, Pa., which ar-
rived, unfortunately, in poor condition.
Eobert Marshall showed a fine basket of
Dendrobium nobile.

Prospects for the coming meeting of
the American Rose Society are excel-
lent and preparations for it are well ad-
vanced.

H. H, Barrows & Son report a big
sale already for their new Nephrolepis
Whitmanii. It will be introduced this
spring and will, I think, prove the most
popular of the family. They will make
a special exhibit of it at the spring show
in Boston.

H. J. Jenner, president of the Seed
Trade Bowling League, states that the
E. & J. Farquhar team won the late
league contest with the Schlegel & Fot-
tler team second. On the programs dis-
tributed on the occasion of the late ban-
quet the last named team was given as
the winners, with J. Breck & Sons
second. W. N. Craig.

WASHINGTON.

State of Trade.

Lent comes on apace, but it does not
seem to hold so many terrors for the
fashionable set as in days of yore.
Church canons seem to be relaxing and,
anyway, I doubt if the use of flowers
ever was a serious offense. But even
if the church were obdurate on this point
it would have little effect on statesmen,
particularly those independent souls like
Speaker Cannon, who gives a dinner to
the Gridiron Club March 17.

There were a great number of events
requiring decorations during the past
week and plenty of orders are booked
for the present. Stock is plentiful and
of good quality, the most marked im-
provement being in Bride and Brides-
maid roses. All fine carnations are soon
taken, the retail price keeping well up
to $1 per dozen. Violets retail at from
25 cents to $1 per bunch of fifty blooms,
all depending on quality and freshness.
Both tulips and jonquils move freely
but indifferent grades of the latter are
going for a song, or less. Cut Harrisii
lilies are in fair supply and soon taken.

There is a lively movement in all good
pot stocks. Azaleas of fine quality are
plentiful and sell well, as do lilac, rhodo-
dendrons and hydrangeas. Primroses and
hyacinths in pans continue to move free-
ly. The quality of spiraea thus far seen
is indifferent but it sells.

Various Notes.

The Gude Bros, furnished a large and
elegant decoration at the home of Gen.
and Mrs. W. P. Draper February 24,
the occasion being a fancy dress ball
given by Gen. and Mrs. Draper to their
young daughter. Miss Margaret Draper.
American Beauty roses predominated,
there being baskets and vases of them
in every available space throughout the
drawing rooms, with banks on the man-
tels.

This firm is now handling a very fine
line of Prof. Welters and other azaleas,
as well as numerous other plants, and
a large stock of cut flowers, all grown
at their own greenhouses.

The Growers.

The Washington Florists' Co. is mak-
ing a fine exhibit of Enchantress carna-
tions and pot-plants, the stock being
grown at the greenhouses of J. Louis
Loose, president of the company.

A misunderstanding haa arisen in re-
gard to the rose Columbia, which
was originated by William Clarke, of
this city. It was merely on exhibition
at George H. Cooke 's store, he not being
at present engaged in growing. He was
greatly pleased with Mr. Clarke's rose

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The annual banquet of the New Bed-
ford Horticultural Society was held at
the Mansion House on Wednesday even-
ing, February 21. The tables were hand-
somely decorated with plants from John
Garthley and, among the cut flowers,
vases of Winsor carnations from Peter
Murray and Jahn's new white seedling
carnation were conspicuous. In spite of
the very wet weather there was a good
attendance and all present spent a most
delightful evening, Frank E. Barrows
proved an able and witty toastmaster.
The mayor of New Bedford, Thomas
Thompson, made an excellent address,
which was warmly applauded.

Other speakers were President Wil-

dent stated that two years ago the mem-
bership was fifty-five. It is now 110 and
prospects for the future are bright. It
was announced that H. A. Jahn will
speak on dahlias at the next meeting
and that Messrs. Farquhar will deliver
a stereopticon lecture on bulb growing
in Holland during March.

Mayor Thompson has shown his good
sense by selecting two members of the
Horticultural Society to fill vacancies
soon to occur on the park board. Presi-
dent Wm. Keith will be one of the mem-
bers. The mayor believes that practical
men will be better on this board than
those who know nothing about trees.
We read a communication from the
present park commission congratulating
New Bedford citizens on the freedom of
their city from moth pests. If the com-
missioners only knew what a brown tail
moth's nest looks like they could find
plenty of them in their city limits.

At James Garthley's, on the H. H.
Kogers estate in Fairhaven, there is a
fine display of seasonable flowers. A
house of cinerarias was extra fine. There
were also good lots of cyclamens,
azaleas, Primula Obconica and other
sorts.

At Peter Murray's the Winsor carna-
tion, which was raised here, is doing
well. White Lawson is the only other
sort grown. A fine assortment of such
stock as amaryllis, liliums, Dutch bul-
bous stock, azaleas, libonias, etc., were
seen. Some fine baskets of ccelogynes
are in flower and Mr. Murray cannot get
over his old orchid love, for we noticed
quite a collection of little dendrobes
coming on. Retail trade is very good
this season.

New Bedford is well provided with
florists. There are some thirty-seven
possessing greenhouses. Sorry we had
only time to visit a few during a brief
stay. We were surprised to find that
so few of these belonged to the Horticul-
tural Society. It seems to us that their
own best interests would be advanced if
they joined it.

New Bedford is sometimes called a
"cactus dahlia town." Certainly the
dahlia is in full swing here and some
wonderful cactus creations are said to
be in the embryo stage. W. N. C.

POUGHKEEPSIE.

The Annual Dinner.

The eighth annual banquet of the
Dutchess County Horticultural Society,
at the Nelson House, on the evening of
Washington's birthday, was one of the
most enjoyable and successful in its
history. Of its 305 members, about half
sat down to a spread worthy of the city
and the society in a banquet room
beautifully decorated with the best
flowers of the expert growers of this
famous center of floriculture.

The officers of the society are Charles
J. Reynolds, president; Thomas B. Con-
ner, vice-president; George W. Sweet,
treasurer; N. Harold Cottam, secretary.
In its membership are cumbered the
leading ministers, lawyers, doctors and
merchants of Poughkeepsie, as well as
all the leading gardeners of that sec-
tion.

President Reynolds announced the so-
ciety's finances as sound and the balance
on the right side of the ledger for the
first time in its career. The novelty of
two toastmasters added to the interest
of the occasion. These were the Hon.
Frank B. Lown and Frank Hasbrook, and
the stories they told and the manner and
elaborateness of their introductions of
the speakers kept the crowd in constant

good humor. The speakers were Geo.
L. Spratt, Jolin K. Van Warner, Lewis
Stuyvesant Chandler, Prof. Jordan, of
the Go\ernment experiment station at
Geneva, and the Rev. Wni. Eucliler. The
song by Prof. King and the recitations
bv Richard O'Connell and Mr. Mattern
added greatly to the evening's enjoy-
ment. '

Variouf Notes.

To visit the florists of Poughkeepsie
and the violet growers within a few-
miles of that city would easily use up
a ^^eek, so that in the few hours at our
disposal we were unable to see them all.

The showing of violets at Thos. DeVoy
& Son 's is superb, maintaining the repu-
tation of this firm for a quarter of a
century. A stock of the famous Tele-
graph geranium will be ready for the
spring demand and a house of lilies
shows perfect condition. Preparations
are also made for the usual tomato and
lettuce distribution later on. Mr. De
Voy, Sr., is in fine health at 73 years.

The marriage of Miss DeVoy Avill
take place on Saturday and the wedding
bouquet will naturally be home-grown
violets. Mr. DeVoy thinks there will lie
no surj)lus of violets because of the con-
tinued increase of greenhouse building
in Dutchess county and says the field is
widening so rapidly and the calls from
Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities
are so persistent that no ])ossibility of
the supply exceeding the demand need
be feared.

Near the plant of DeVoy & Son ia the
establisliment of Isaac Fricker, where a
general assortment is grown under about
20,000 square feet of glass.

The Pinehurst Conservatories, 35,000
square feet, are well worth a visit. Here
Wm. G. Saltford reigns and every flower
grown is utilized in the retail store on
Main street, where his two sons conduct
a large and profitable business. His
seedling carnation, the flowers of which
average four indies, will be exhibited at
Toronto and oftered to the trade in the
spring of 1908. Its color is between
T^wson and Enchantress and great
things are expected of it. George Salt-
ford, of New York, is a brother of W.
G. Saltford.

Richmond and Killarney are the popu-
lar roses this year with the thousand
Vassar girls, the Saltford boys tell me.

Mrs. W. J, Lynch presides at her fine
store, assisted by her three sons, and
with a record of thirty-five years in the
same neighborhood may well be called
one of the pioneers. Twenty green-
houses, 30,000 square feet of glass, are
drawn upon for the daily needs.

Prea., W. H. Qrenell, Saginaw, W. S., Mlcn.j
First Vlce-Prea., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and
Treaa., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual
Beetlxu: will be held at Toledo, O., June 26-28, 1906.

There were 425 bags of clover seed
on the last boat from Liverpool.

There is report of poor germination
in some lots of eastern-grown onion seed. ,

August Rhotert confirms the report
of a scarcity of lily of the valley pips in
Germany this year.

Growers of peas and beans, having
arranged for the most part for placing
their acreage for the coming year 's pea
crop, report that their energies will
have to be }mt forth now in finding an
acreage for beans.

The Cash Buyers' Union, a large Chi-
cago mail order house reported to be
planning to follow the lead of Sears,
Roebuck & Co. and Montgomery Ward
& Co. and go heavily into the catalogue
seed trade, passed into the hands of a
receiver February 26, the postal authori-
ties having inspired the action of credi-
tors.

The largo general merchandise mail
order houses that recently added seeds
to their lines, find it quite difficult to
keep up with their orders. They report
that the seed line differs from the others
in many instances, not the least being
the fact that seeds are not a manu-
factured commodity in the sense that
other things are.

Cloverseed was weaker on the Toledo
market at the close of last week. The
demand was active, but offerings seemed
liberal. Shipments were active. Ex-
ports for the wefek were placed at 1,906
bags, as against 1,778 bags last week
and 1,175 bags a year ago. Alsike re-
ceipts were 6,331 bags, against 10,166
bags a year ago, and 5,001 bags two
years ago. The close was steady. Clos-
ing: Cash, $8.62; February, $8.62;
March, $8.65; April, $8.57. Prime
alsike, $8.15; prime timothy, $1.62.

Watkins & Simpson, the London
seedsmen, have offered a ten guinea cup
for the best exhibit of annuals and
plants usually treated as annuals, grown
in pots (sweet peas excluded), to be
shown at the meetings of the Royal Hor-
ticultural Society of Great Britain in
1907. The cup is presented with the
idea of showing what interesting and
charming plants there are among this
common class of flowers when well
grown and with plenty of room indi-
vidually.

A writer in a widely read gardening
magazine says that the sole object of
seedsmen in urging early orders is to re-
lieve themselves as much as possible dur-
ing the rush at the height of the season.
The opinion is that of one forgetful that
' * a bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush, ' ' where some other fellow 's bright
catalogue may catch it. Again, the aver-
age seedsman never fails to have all he

The seed planting season is hardly
begun and such small surpluses as have
developed should therefore startle no-
body.

Onion sets are on the upward incline
and it is thought the top will be
reached about the time no more will be
wanted.

Field corn of some important varieties
is reported hard to get hold of, yet it
seems hardly possible that there can be
any shortage.

Tomato seed is being called for in
good quantities and it is thought that
the canners are preparing to make the
pack of 1906 a large one.

The pickle men are making good
preparations in the way of buying seed.
It looks as though they are expecting
to put out a liberal acreage.

The market gardeners ' seedsmen at
the different centers report the season 'a
business up to the present much better
than last year. It is thought that the
unusually mild weather is the cause.

In general reports at hand show the
business of the year to be fully up to
the normal. Here and there reports are
made that there is more than a sufficient
quantity of available stock for the ex-
pected needs of the locality and that a

the season prevails. On the other hand,
the conditions are reported just the re-
verse in other localities. Bookings for
shipments from the coming crop continue
to come in, in a way that satisfies the
growers, and present business from the
jobbers' standpoint is all that could be
desired. None of the mail order seeds-
men is complaining.

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

The adverse weather conditions com-
menced with a poor harvesting season,
many crops, especially the more tender
vegetable and most flower seeds being
very short in consequence, and it is now,
when the orders are being made up and
the wholesalers are up to their eyes in
work, that the fullest effect of the short-
ago is felt. There is a considerable quan-
tity of yearling seed on hand of many
articles, which keeps prices down to a
fairly normal level.

One of the novelties of the season
which gives every promise of merit is the
new tomato, Eev. Laycock. Many lead-
ing houses have placed orders for seeds
with the raiser. Also inquiries are being
received from America, among them one
from Prof. W. W. Tracy, of the United
States Department of Agriculture.

To look at the advertisement columns
of the too numerous gardening journals,
one would suppose the trade of retailing
seeds is overcrowded; the number of
firms advertising is prodigious and it is

hardly credible how they all get suffi-
cient custom to make it pay. A leading
feature is the penny packet trade. Al-
most every sort of flower and vegetable
seeds is obtainable in penny packets,
even the latest novelty in packets con-
taining perhaps not half a dozen seeds;
in fact, there are one or two firms that
supply every article in seeds in penny
packets and have no higher price.

Sweet peas are the predominating fea-
ture just now. They are being advertised
for all they are worth and to an ordinary
mortal it must seem hardly credible
that there is any shortage in sweet pea
seeds. Most of the postal trade is done
on the packet system, so that if an arlicle
runs short the retailer needs only to re-
duce the quantity in a packet and the
buyer still gets his packet. The real
shortage will be most felt by the high
class firms that cannot afford to have
second rate seed on the premises.

B. J.

MAJOR BRASLAN, OF SAN HOSAY

The Mercury, of San Jose, Cal., heard
that Chas. P. Braslan had just returned
from a three months' trip among the
seedsmen of the east and sent a re-
porter to the headquarters of the Seed
Growers' Co. to interview him. Major
Braslan is reported as "having nothing
in particular to impart," but an appeal
to his local pride brought forth the fol-
lowing interesting observations:

"The seed trade is sharing in the
general prosperity of the country. The
demand is in excess of the supply. There
is going to be a great development of
the California seed business in the not
distant future, not only along present
lines, but in the way of larger variety
of product. The east wants seeds which
it cannot get with certainty unless Cali-
fornia steps into the gap. Take what
we call vine plants, for instance; beans,
melons, cucumbers and others of that
class; there is room for big expansion
in that direction out here. The eastern
supply is not reliable. ' '

* * Where has the trade been looking
for such seeds?" asked the reporter.

"To certain states of the middle west
and north, but the crop in those sec-
tions cannot be depended upon. It is
liable to be nipped by frost, drowned
by rain, etc. California can produce all
those seeds to the best advantage, with-
out the drawbacks experienced there, and
the development is sure to come.

"There is great public interest in
Oalifornia. You may think I am talking
foolishly, but the fact is that the name
of this city is one of the worst obstacles
it has to contend with in the east. It
disguises us. The people see San Jose
in print, but they do not recognize it

as 'San Hosay' in conversation. Tell
them that you come from the Santa
Clara valley, and it is all right. They
recognize that; but say that you are
from 'San Hosay' and the question ia:
'Where is that! Never heard of it be-
fore.' If you undertake to explain to
them that 'Jose* is pronounced 'Hosay,*
life is too short.*'

"The ignorance of these easterners is
something awful," commented the re-
porter.

"Well, I don't know about that. We
feel pretty big out here among our-
selves, but we are pretty small when
we get east.*'

THE PUBLIC VIEW.

The following is probably a fair state-
ment of the public view of the matter of
the government publication of the names
of those who sell adulterated seeds. It
is an editorial from the Breeders' Ga-
zette, which reaches many thousands of
farmers :

It l9 not surprising that sellers of adulterated
seeds should object to the secretary of agri-
culture publishing their names. Some of them
are Innocent of Intentional wrong-doing. That
is, they do not add the inferior seeds with
which adulteration is accomplished. But they
buy without exercising sufficient care and sell
without adequate examination of the seeds which
they buy. Few, if any, seedsmen raise all the
seeds they sell. They must depend on others to
raise and clean much of their stock, but they
cannot escape responsibility for filling orders
with adulterated stocks, because the same ex-
amination which enables the secretary of agri-
culture to discover adulteration will enable them
to find it and thus protect themselves and their
patrons. The law authorizes the secretary to
publish the names of seedsmen whose wares are
found adulterated. Question as to his right thus
to do has been raised, but the attorney general
has advised the secretary of agriculture that it
Is lawful for him to make such publication, and
he will likely continue the good work in this
direction that he has begun. The adulteration
of seeds is easy and the temptation is great.
The public commercial conscience has been thor-
oughly proved these latter days to be very elas-
tic. It is time to substitute rigidity for elas-
ticity in conscience. Publicity of wrong-doing
is a wholesome and effective remedy.

NOVELTIES.

In a review of the new plants, flowers,
etc., of 1905, the Horticultural Adver-
tiser, a most discriminating English ex-
change, says among other things:

* ' Hybridizers and raisers of new roses ^
are more numerous than ever before,
but the list of novelties this season is
not long. Lady Gay leaped into popular
favor with almost unequaled rapidity
while another climber, tiie Philadelphia
Rambler, bids fair to dethrone Crimson
Rambler from its position at the top of
its class.

"The carnation holds its ground weD
as a whole, and the American section of
the tree race has had quite a boom. At
present transatlantic seedlings have natu-
rally secured the bulk of the awards,
among the best being Fair Maid, the
Cardinal and Lady Bountiful; but a
number of English raisers are hard at
work, and we shall soon see the results
of their energies.

"Of dahlias we might name the fol-
lowing half-dozen as comprising the
cream of the new sorts: H. Shoesmith^
Mrs. Macmillan, Peach, the Pilot, Ivan-
hoe and Victoria. Of the singles Strom.-
boli was the most notable.

nursery stock, including rhododendrons
and azaleas and went to a state on the
Pacific coast. A shipment to the same
place dispatched on February 10, 1905,
reached its far distant destination in
perfect condition and we do not doubt
for a moment that the second one will
go through safely. Of course, we see
that special attention is paid to packing
all shipments to distant countries. The
ball of earth is well supplied with moist
moss tied with canvas and packed in
cases with ventilating holes. The tied
up roots are packed at both ends of
the case, not allowing them to come in
contact with the foliage of the plants in
any way. Every two rows of plants we
peg down with strong laths of wood
nailed in at the two sides of the case
in order to prevent the plants shifting
while on their journey.

For California we should advise ship-
ment from Holland not later than the
end of February or the first week in
March. From previous experience we
are prepared to guarantee the safe ar-
rival of our plants and shrubs at any
point in the United States and see no
reason why stock should not be regu-
larly imported by your growers with per-
fect satisfaction to all concerned.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

We are just now experiencing the long
wished-for cold snap. This is having a
marked effect for the good in the cut
flower trade, prices hardening consider-
ably in several markets, supplies being
kept back somewhat. The outdoor daf-
fodils, etc., would have been in before
the forced bulbs were even half through
had the mild weather continued.

French mimosa has been excessively
plentiful this year. It has not only been
retailed on the London streets but has
reached the small towns of the provinces
in considerable quantities.

It is noticeable how infrequently the
green and variegated leaved aspidistras
have been seen the last year or so. There
does not seem to be a profitable demand
even for what small quantities have been
on offer, but prices asked by the conti-
nental exporters have been, until recently,
excessively high, on account of shortage
of stock. Some time ago aspidistras were
very popular with the English public,
principally as room plants where gas
was used, but of late years the public
taste is quite against anything at all
stiff and straight, something more in the
way of ferns, asparagus, etc., being pre-
ferred.

tarders of valley for export at Hamburg,
states that owing to the excessively small
crop of really first-class pips suitable
for retarding harvested last autumn, a
much less quantity is on hand than usual
for the year 's supply of frozen pips and
some liigh prices may be expected, both
for retarded pips and also for cut val-
ley, as well as a much larger proportion
of second and third grades. It is also
reported that at least one of the largest
German firms will not send its represen-
tative to the States for a time, having no
more stock than can be disposed of easily
in European countries. J. B.

Business continues brisk and the sup-
ply is fair in all seasonable lines. Roses
are about the only shortage and good
stock in light colors finds a ready mar-
ket. Bulbous stock is now coming in
abundantly and prices realized are fair,
considering the quantities on the market.
Violets are showing the effect of the
warm weather the past week and are di-
minishing in size. There are plenty of
azaleas, primulas and other blooming
plants on the market but the demand
is light.

The Florists * Club gave a ball to mem-
bers and friends and the affair was well
attended.

The Market.

Trade during the last week has been
on the whole good, with a considerable
amount of funeral work, which has kept
the white stock cleared up with the ex-
ception of white tulips, of which there
has been a considerable oversupply.
White roses and white carnations have
been for the most part scarce. A few
dull days, with mild weather, had the
effect of making a few of the carna-
tions soft. Greens are scarce, especially
asparagus, which is nearly cut out. South-
ern smilax has been used more freely
this season than ever before, and to good
effect. The quality has been fine. This
may be accounted for by shipments com-
ing in during mild weather.

Among the notable features in decora-
tion was the banquet tendered to Sir
Wilfred Laurier by the reformers of On-
tario. The floral decorations were put
up by Miller & Son, of Bracondale, and

consisted principally of a huge bank of
Easter lilies, lilac, pink azaleas and cin-
erarias, filled in with Boston ferns. The
table decorations consisted of mixed cut
flowers. J. S. Simmons had. the Ma-
sonic banquet at the King Edward, Dun-
lop and Tidy had several luncheons at
McConkey's, the Toronto Club and else-
where.

Variotft Notes.

Lampert & McArthur, who opened
about Christmas at 275 Yonge street,
were sold out by the bailiff February 21.

We notice that many new growers are
contemplating starting in the business
this coming season. The most notable
is a new stock company which is capital-
ized at $40,000, with $10,000 paid up.
This company has already purchased its
land and will start building operations
shortly. The plant will be located up
Yonge street, in what is known as Bed-
ford park district. Albert Houle, who
for years has been foreman for John H.
Dunlop, is the manager and grower. He
should make a success of this venture as
he has had all the practical experience
in rose growing that could be desired,
and has shown himself a man of ability.
We understand that the plant is to be
entirely given over to rose growing.

VARIETIES OF ROSES.

The list of roses grown under glass in
the largest places near San Francisco
has dwindled down until there are not
over half a dozen different varieties
forced. Perle des Jardins was grown here
with fair success by various wholesalers
several years ago, but for a long time
it has not been in favor and has been
generally discarded. As a consequence
the retail dealer has to get along with-
out much of a supply of that particular
color and orders for yellow roses are
generally refused. Some Sunset and a
few beds of Sunrise are to be found
but only on rare occasions.

With large flowered varieties there is
also but little to select from. American
Beauty has proven the only lasting sort.
Ulrich Brunner has been tried. Mrs,
John Laing and Queen of Edgely have
also been given considerable house room
but have finally been thrown out. The
first two kinds mentioned are not to
be relied on regarding blooming quali-
ties and the latter, although free enough,
does not seem to be a popular shade of
color.

We have a somewhat larger selection
of pink sorts. I find Bridesmaid to be,
however, planted more generally than
ever this season. Several seasons ago
Mme. Caroline Testout gave it a very
close run for popularity but is at pres-
ent considerably behind in the race.
There are several reasons for this, the
principal one being that the public ap-
pears to prefer the former rose. Belle
Siebrecht has a few adherents and oc-
casionally some grower plants a bed of

Papa Gontier or Eainbow but the flowers
are rarely seen in the shop windows.
Mme. Chatenay has been planted here
in several places and with fair success,
but the public are not yet well enough
acquainted with it to make it very popu-
lar.

Of the white kinds Bride has outdis-
tanced everything and was planted very
heavily last season. Kaiserin is in great
favor with some growers and is a popu-
lar variety, but as a winter bloomer it
does not rank Avith Bride and as a con-
sequence it is not as much depended on.
Ivory has not given as much satisfaction
here as in other parts of the country and
will not be generally planted the coming
season.

Of the bright red sorts Liberty has at
present the lead although some growers
seem to prefer the older Meteor — the
balance are in the favor of the other,
however, and there is nothing at pres-
ent in the field to take its place.

None of the true hybrids are forced
here to any extent. I refer to roses of
the Genl. Jacqueminot type. Souv. du
Pres. Carnot was planted extensively a
few years ago. but at present it is not
seen in any quantity.

Cecile Brunner is the only polyantha
variety forced at all and it does not
seem to be a well paying proposition
either.

This is about all the kinds that have
been grown here for the past five years
and not over six of thenji together repre-
sent at least ninety pe* pent of the con-
tents of the various ro^e growing estab-
lishments in the vicinity of San Fran-
cisco. G.

SAN FRANOSCO.

The Market.

The continued rainy weather enjoyed
by this locality for the past week has
interfered to a considerable extent with
business and everything in the flower
line is moving rather slowly. Flowers
of all descriptions are in abundance with
the possible exception of fancy roses and
they are rather a scarce article.

Bulbous stock is a glut at present, al-
though the season for it is rapidly draw-
ing to a close. Violets are to be had in

endless quantity at almost any price.
Freesias and Roman hyacinths hold their
own and valley has dropped to about
$2.50 per hundred, vdth only a very
scarce demand.

Wild maidenhair, which is now very
plentiful, has taken the place of every-
thing else in that line, smilax being
scarce as well as asparagus.

Carnations are in heavy supply and
the prices range from $1.50 to $3 per
hundred. Considerable native greens are
being used in decorative work around
town and this, with a very fair supply of
funeral orders, represents the bulk of
the trade at present.

Various Notes.

Geo. Eosmariu, the well-known Ala-
meda florist, has written an open letter
to the Improvement Association of that
town, protesting against the purchasing
of trees to ornament the streets from
Japanese nurserymen.

as a gardener at the State University
greenhouses, died February 17, aged
49 years.

THE OLDEST GARDENER.

The Hon. Frank B. Lown, one of the

the following tribute to the oldest gar-
dener of that section, David Gindra, now
in his seventy-fourth year and beloved by
all who know him:

"We laymen are proud to meet our
friends, the gardeners, on this our
annual feast night. We have with us
many who are successful and prominent
in their profession, but we have with us
one who is the faithful family servitor
which is fast fading out. One who has
practiced his gentle art so long that the
children who knew and love him are now
gray and grizzled men.

"One whose life has been passed in
the honored and faithful service of one
family, whose deft fingers fashioned the
wedding and christening favors for the
blushing bride and the blooming matron,
and laid the choicest blooms on each in-
animate breast that was borne from the
home of his employers. He has buried
them all and he now stands alone in the

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSLRYMLN.

Pres., E. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce-
Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md.; Sec'y, Geo.
O. Sealer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches-
ter. TheSlst annual convention will be held at
Dallas, Texas, June, 1906.

The business of Chas. Fremd, Eye,
N. Y., who died a few weeks ago, is
being continued by his sons.

E. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind., presi-
dent of the American Association of
Nurserymen, was a Chicago visitor Feb-
ruary 24.

The increase in landscape work in the
middle west has occasioned a brisk de-
mand for men capable of handling the
varied problems presented.

Many nurserymen are pushing Ligus-
trum Eegelianum, or at least working up
stock of it, in the belief that it has a
bright future as a hedge plant.

Hollanders who are traveling in the
west are offering many leading sorts of
peonies, including Festiva maxima, at
a concession from last year's prices.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
has issued a circular on the pocket
gopher, which occasionally does consid-
erable damage to stock in nursery rows.

Nurserymen will be interested in The
Natural Keplacement of White Pine on
Old Fields in New England, a bulletin
just issued by the Department of Agri-
culture.

The French nurserymen are finding in
the United States a steadily increasing
outlet for their surpluses, and the Hol-
land growers are paying more and more
attention to the American department
stores.

The proceedings of the American
Forest Congress at llie Washington meet-
ing January 2 to 6, 1905, have just been
issued in the form of a volume of 474
pages. The first pages are devoted to an
address by President Eoosevelt.

It is stated that on ■ two cars of nur-
sery stock shipped since the new Official
claseification went into effect there was
a saving of $70 freight on each car. Of
course these were long shipments, but
it gives an idea of the value of the con-
cession to the trade.

The Elm City Nursery Co., New
Haven, Conn., took charge of the few
living branches of the old Franklin elm
when it was cut down two years ago and
have now turned over to the city for re-
planting in its parks four vigorous young
trees propagated from the original stock.

J. C. Alden and F. J. Littleford have
formed a partnership and purchased the
Austin nursery at Downers Grove, 111.
Mr. Alden has been identified with the
nursery business of A. B. Austin for
twenty years. Mr. Littleford, whose
grandfather established the present busi-
ness fifty years ago, has been employed
at the nursery for a year.

A. W. Beown, of Watertown, Wis.,
L. Ada Lyman and G. W. Thompson, of
Oconomowoc, Wis., are incorporators of
the White Elm Nursery Company, of
Watertown, Wis., which has secured a
charter with capital stated as $40,000.

FREIGHT CLASSIFICATION.

President E. Albertson and W. C.
Reed, chairman of the transport.'ition
committee of the American Association
of Nurserymen, are this week issuing to
the trade a circular showing complete
tables of the classification of freight in
the several classification territories into
which the United States is divided by the
railroads. Since the last shipping season
the transportation committee has secured
important changes in classification -which
will effect large savings in freight for
every nurseryman. The schedules of
classification are issued that the trade
may be fully informed, with the sugges-
tion that shippers call the attention of
their local freight agents to the changes
and thereby ensure for themselves the
full benefits of the work of the com-
mittee.

The circular is accompanied by a letter
to non-members of the Association, as
follows :

Enclosed herewith we are handing you a com-
plete table of freight classifications of nursery
stock, etc., now in effect In all of the different
general classification districts throughout the
United States. It will .pay you well to familiar-
ize yourself fully with this, and to fully post
your freight agents in regard to same, for unless
you do call their attention to It they are
very lilcely to overloolc these items In their
large or complete tables, and charge you up
the rates without noticing the difference.

We call your special attention to the reduction
of fifteen per cent from second-class rates on
trees in boxes In the Official territory (Illinois
and the states east to the Atlantic and north
of the Ohio and Potomac rivers), and to the
changes In the minimum carload weights in
Western (northwest from Chicago and west of
the Mississippi to the Rocliy mountains, except
Texas and parts of Oklahoma, etc.) and South-
ern (south of the Ohio and east of the Missis-
sippi) classifications. Also that in the Western
ClassifieatiuD bales now go at actual weight In
consignments of 100 pounds, or over, regardless
of sizes of individual bales.

By these changes in classification there will
be a very large saving in the nurserymen's
freight bills, and an expansion of territory that
can profitably be covered by them, and a bring-
ing closer together of buyer and seller.

This saving of freight probably amounts to
|5O,000, or more, per year, as there are a num-
ber of firms to each of whom the saving will be
from $1,000 to $5,000 per year on box shipments
In the Official territory alone, while in the
Western a saving of twenty per cent on all
small cars, and in the Southern a saving of
twenty per cent in minimum weight on all
cars— not counting the other changes that
have been made.

Now, to those parties who receive this letter
and are not members of the American Associa-
tion of Nurserymen, we wish to say we are
sending you this table of classifications that you
may have the benefit of same, and to call your
attention to the very great and valuable work
that is being done by the Association through
its committees who grlve their time to the
work without compensation, and often at loss
of time from their own business.

This freight table is an evidence of only
one line of the work that Is being done by
the Association, as much time has been de-
voted to legislative matters, and there is now
before the legislative committee a work that
will take years to accomplish, and which is of
erreat importance and value to the nursery
business. There are also other matters In the
bands of other committees.

Thousands of dollars have been spent by the
association in the expenses of these commit-
tees, etc., but the returns to the trade will be
tens of thousands of dollars annually, and
of which you will share.

Now, to carry on this work as It should be,
win cost thousands of dollars. This year our
treasury was exhausted, and a call had to be
made for voluntary contributions, to which
we are glad to say an exceedingly liberal re-
sponse was made — realizing the importance of
the work the leading members contributed
from %5 to $50 each. Our membership Is not
more than one-fourth what It should be, and
the principal source of revenue Is the member-
ship fee, which Is only $3 per year. Now are
you doing your part? Remember, on box ship-
ments alone in the official territory you are
Having this $3 on every $20 of freights paid,

ficient to pay your membership for many
years, besides the other benefits.

We would like to have all of you attend
the meetings of the Association when possible,
but even though you may not be able to
attend, you should aid in the work by having
your names on the membership roll and with
your membership fees, and though you may
not attend the meetings you will still receive
the benefits of this work, and the reports of
the association, which will be worth many
times the membership fee.

In future bulletins will be Issued whenever
there Is anything special to report, revised
freight tables, etc., sent out, but these will

be sent to members only, and to secure them
you should at once become members.

Then follows an urgent request that
the $3 membership fee be forwarded at
oiice to Geo. C. Seager, Kochester,
N. Y., and that all gather at the thirty-
first annual meeting, at Dallas, Tea.,
June 13.

The classification circular states that
the committees having charge of the
Transcontinental (Pacific coast) and
Southwestern territories accept the West-
ern classification, so that a 36-foot car

now takes a minimum of 16,000 pounds
and a 40-foot car a minimum of 20,000
pounds all over tlie United States.

Attention is called to the fact that to
secure the lowest rates values claimed
naust not exceed 5 cents per pound in
Western territory and 3 cents per pound
in the Southern territory.

The trade is urged to ' ' favor such leg-
islative supervision of railroads as will
eliminate all favors in the way of ship-
pers' passes, rebates, etc. The question
of rates is being adjusted with devel-
opment of business. Fair treatment of
the railroads by you will be reciprocated
by them."

sification tables will be sent to any appli-
cant by either Mr. Eeed, Mr. Albertson,

STORING TREE SEEDS.

Numerous packages of forest tree
seeds are being received by the Forest
Service in Washington, from the several
nursery stations throughout the west
where seedlings are being grown for
planting on forest reserves. These seeds
will be used in carrying on extensive
storage tests to determine the best
methods of preserving seeds of the sev-
eral species most commonly used. The
more important species are western yel-
low pine, jack pine, Coulter pine, knob-
cone pine, red fir, white fir and incense
cedar.

The work in Washington is in coopera-
tion with the seed testing laboratory,
and the seeds will be stored dry, in cool
basements, in cold storage, and in her-
metically sealed jars. Corresponding
tests will be carried on at the nurseries
on the western forest reserves, and the
comparative results are expected to show
not only which method of storage is best,
but in which locality seeds retain their
vitality longest. In view of the rapid
increase in forest planting operations,
particularly in connection with planting
on denuded watersheds, this work be-
comes of high importance.

Taking into consideration the general
information the Eeview gives and the
usual reliability of the advertisements
it prints, I consider it would be poor
business policy to do without it when it
can be had for the small sum of $1 a
year. — W. G. Negle, Beaumont, Tex.

KANSAS QTY.

The Market.

Last week's business was up to the
standard. All kinds of cut flowers were
in great demand and good prices were
received. Tuesday the local market was
cleaned up of all the available stock
and many orders had to be turned down.
Some excellent tulips are being offered
this week, with only a fair demand.
Funeral work has used up a great many
flowers this week. Last week's busi-
ness on the whole shows an increase over
the previous week.

Various Notes.

Last Friday the entire wholesale busi-
ness of the Chas. A. Shaeffer Floral Co.
passed into the hands of W. A. Bastian,
the former manager. Mr. Shaeffer has
built up a large business, but came to
the conclusion that the two branches of
the business could be more successfully
conducted under separate managements
and decided to dispose of his wholesale
business. He will now devote his atten-
tion to his retail trade. The new wholesale
business will be conducted under the
name of the Western Cut Flower Com-
mission Co. Kay-See.

Crestijne, O. — J. A. Eosengren says
the people "love" to see the flowers at
the greenhouse, but it is almost impos-
sible to make them understand that flow-
ers will look just as good or better at
their homes, hence not much is doing yet.

Columbus, O. — Carnations and roses
are in good demand. J. R. Hellenthal
is cutting some choice lilacs, lilies of the
valley, daffodils, tulips and Dutch hya-
cinths. Lilies, Ramblers and hydrangeas
are as fine a lot as could be found in the
state. He will this season build a ear-
nation house 30x140 feet, with all the
latest improvements. Most of the ma-
terial has arrived and he will build as
soon as the weather opens up. His En-
chantress are a grand sight, one mass
of buds and flowers, with good stiff
stems. The Queen is his best white;
Estelle he likes better than Flamingo;
Lawson is the best pink. He will try
several hundred of the new ones this
season. Five houses are crowded with
bedding plants. He is waiting for the
■weather to warm up to make some hot-
beds to get room to shift about 18,000
geraniums. The rose houses are in good
shape and he is cutting a good crop of
Brides, Maids, Golden Gate, Ivory and
La Detroit. C. M. J.

INDIANAPOLIS.

Business has been good all along the
line and everyone seems well satisfied
with the season so far.

At the February meeting of the
State Florists' Association, it was de-
cided to hold a spring show in April
and the committee, A. F. J. Baur, H. W.
Rieman and Geo. B. Wiegand, have de-
cided on April 9 as the most suitable
date. JEaster stock will be in great shape
by that time and a grand show will un-
doubtedly be the result. The premium
list is in the hands of the printer and
will be mailed as soon as it is ready.
The new carnations and roses are espe-
cially desired at this show. Introducers
please take notice. A. B.

The regular meetings in connection
with the association are held on the first
Tuesday evening in the month at the
State House, Indianapolis, Boom 11. The
next meeting will be held March 6, 7:30
p. m. E. G. Hill will address the mem-
bers on his recent trip to Europe. Final
arrangements will be made to hold a
spring flower show April 9, at which
both plants and cut flowers will be ex-
hibited. Printed lists will be sent to the
trade later. As the show is in charge of
a committee composed of A. F. J. Baur,
Henry Bieman and Geo. B. Wiegand, its
success is assured.

F. Sydney Smith, Sec'y.

Bowling Green, Ky. — Mrs. Hubert
Graham, proprietor of the City Green-
house, has been ill for some time.

Chambersbueg, Pa. — Wm. B. Eeed's
office, packing shed, potting shed, etc.,
were destroyed by fire recently, entail-
ing a loss of $2,000. The loss on build-
ing was covered by insurance. Mr. Reed
is safely housed again and will be in fine
shape for trade again in a little while.
Mr. Reed thinks a fire at a greenhouse
at any time is bad enough, but wants to
be excused when it comes to a fire on a
cold night in winter again, exposing the
stock to the elements.

Milwaukee, Wis. — ^H. W. Koemer has
worked seven years on a strain of gladi-
olus, hand^ pollinating selected flowers,

able strength. The stock is used for his
regular retail trade and won the first
premium at the Wisconsin State Fair
last year. He fertilized so many flowers
last summer that he gathered from four
pounds of seeds several hundred thou-
sands. Mr. Koemer is also at work on
peonies, dahlias and asters.

DENVER.

State of Trade.

Business has been exceptionally good
the past two weeks, with three holidays,
Lincoln's birthday, Washington's birth-
day and St. Valentine's day, the last
two being exceptionally good for the
florists. Valentine's day was the best in
the history of the city, developing al-
most into a Christmas rush, so great was
the call for flowers. No violets could be
obtained after 12 o'clock and the same
could almost be said of roses and car-
nations. Beauties, being especially
Bcarce, commanded good prices.

Several decorations for Washington's
birthday helped the good work and the
end of the week saw the Kirmess given
for the D. A. R. by the society people,
who gave many dinners before and after
each performance. The great number
of bouquets presented to the ladies tak-
ing part cleaned out the large up-town
flower shops each night.

The funeral of the late Gen. Fred
Walsen, one of the oldest residents of
Colorado, called for quantities of the
best flowers and some very elaborate
design work.

Stock has shown very little improve-
ment, either in quantity or quality. The
general run of carnations is good but
not plentiful. Brides and Maids are
fair but if one wants select stock some
tall hustling has to be done. Other rose
stock is scarce. Bulbous stock has sold
well and has been more plentiful. Vio-
lets are not so abundant, and the de-
mand the past two weeks exceeded the
supply.

Various Notes.

E. E. Peterson is in Chicago buying
material for two new greenhouses, which
he will erect at once.

The Gallup Floral Co. must move from
the present location, as the ground has
been sold to the gas company. As yet
they have not decided on any permanent
location.

Geo. Zimmer, for some time past with
the Colfax Avenue Floral Co., has sev-
ered his connection with that firm and
gone to Omaha to go into business with
his brother.

One of the best floral decorations of
the season was put up by the Daniels &
Fishers' Stores Co. on Tuesday for C.
A. MacWillcox, who is a member of that
firm, on the occasion of his marriage to
Miss Roberts. The wedding was one of
the society events of the season.

POT RHODODENDRON.

Ehododendron Cunningham's White, a
comparatively dwarf, free-flowering va-
riety continues to gain in popularity
year by year, it being employed probably
to a greater extent than any other va-
riety for flowering in pots, according to
a writer in the Gardeners' Magazine.
For this purpose its naturally compact
habit, and profusion of bloom, stands it
in good stead, while it forces readily,
and under glass the blossoms are of a
purer white than they are in the open
ground. I have several times noted it in
good condition in Covent Garden mar-
ket during the present season, and com-
pact, well-flowered plants seemed to meet
with a ready sale. Botanically, Ehodo-
dendron Cunningham's White is but a
form of R. Caucasicum; indeed, it is
by some known as R. Caucasicum alba.
Apart from its value as a pot plant, it
possesses the desirable quality of being
outdoors seldom injured by spring
frosts, though it is among those that ex-
pand their blossoms moderately early in
the season.

DIFFERENCE IN COST.

AVhat difference in the expense bill
for coal would there be between ht^ating
one even-span greenhouse forty to fifty
feet wide, 150 feet long, with four feet
of the side walls glass and three feet
double boarded and papered, or two
•even-sy)an greenhouses each twenty to
twenty-five feet wide, connected, no mid-
dle walls, each 350 feet long, with three
and one-half feet of side walls double
and papered? W. E. B.

While tlie large even-span house will
•contain a volume of air about twenty-five
per cent greater than the two connected
bouses, yet I doubt if the large house
will require much more fuel than the
smaller houses. In fact, the same amount
of radiation would be supplied in either
case. Temperature changes will be less
rai)id in the large even-span house than
in the small houses because of the greater
volume of air contained. The cost of
constructing the large even-span house
■will be slightly less than that of the two
smaller houses because of the saving of
one gutter and posts and the ventilating
•sash and lifting apparatus for one house.

L. C. C.

BETTER RESULTS NEEDED.

We have a horizontal tubular boiler
forty-eight inches in diameter, four-
teen feet long without dome; forty
3-inch flues, brick set, jointed to
a stack fifty-six feet high and
thirty-four inches internal diameter
by a breeching eight feet long ■and eigh-
teen inches in diameter. Grates are four
feet square. There are two 4-inch open-
ings on top and thence two 4-inch pipes
■supply the houses, returning to the boiler
at the rear end and also to a receiver
■which is exhausted by a Bundy return
trap. The fuel used is Iowa steam nut
coal and we consume an enormous quan-
titv with but mediocre results. Our ob-
ject in writing is to find some method
by which we can get good results for less
money. The amount of glass surface to
heat is 13,240 square feet. Would a re-
ducing valve be any advantage (we have
a 4-inch Globe valve on each supply
pipe), or would a vacuum system give
better results? Is the boiler too small?
How many feet of pipe will it carry?
Iccidentally, is it necessary during the
dark days of winter to have heat under
the rose benches where solid benches are
used, or will sufficient piping along the
sides of the benches to keep the houses
at the proper temperature be enough?

sufficient. If you had stated the size
of the houses and their relation to one
another I could have given more accurate
suggestions. The boiler in question is
about forty-five horse-povrer and capable
of caring for about 4,500 square feet of
radiation. I judge that 3,500 square feet
should be ample for your plant. The
only possible defect I can think of in
this plant is that possibly the boiler is
working under the disadvantage of too
little piping in the houses. Have you
sufficient radiation? The boiler is big
enough to give good results. The other
possible loss is in imperfect firing.

I should not attempt to grow roses on
solid bods unless perhaps it were Beau-
tier. Most economical methods of rose
growing are those where ample -bottom
heat is used. The crop is too dependent
on the season when grown on solid beds.
Solid beds are all right for cool stuff
like carnations, violets and lettuce, but
not for roses of the class of Bride,
l^ridesmaid or Gate. The normal house
temperature for roses grown on solid
beds does not provide the root tempera-
lure the plants receive when maintained
at the same temperature with the plants
on elevated beds. There is no one factor
in rose growing of so much importance
as proper root temperature and mois-
ture. L. C. C.

TO STOP LEAKY JOINT.

Will some one tell me how to stop a
leaky joint in a 4-inch hot-water pipe
without shutting down or draining out
the water? I have had no trouble with
ieaky joints before, although the plant
has been in tise six years. The trouble in
this case seems to be expansion and con-
traction of the line of pipe which pre-
vents the cement from setting. This
]ine of pipe is seventy feet long and con-
sists of 4-inch boiler flues connected with
sleeve couplings and cemented the usual
way with oakum and Portland cement.
Tins particular joint now seems to take
up all the expansion and contraction
since it broke loose. C. J. B.

You can remedy the defect in your
heating pipe by having a blacksmith
make you two clamps, each consisting of
two pieces of %xl-inch iron, shaped to
fit tightly about the boiler tubes. The
two Tl-shaped pieces of each clamp
should have a projecting })oint through

BOILER AND FLUE.

I would like to know how many 3-inch
or 3 M: -inch flues fourteen feet long, low
pressure steam, are required to heat four
greenhouses, connected, each 22x80 feet,
five feet to plate and twelve feet to
ridge. There is double glass in the west
gable and eighteen inches of glass in the
sides; also a house 6x88 feet, twelve
feet high at the end of the four houses,
six and one-half feet to plate; also a
work room above the furnace room,
20x30 feet. We must still have a surplus.
Two of the houses are to be kept at
65 degrees, two at 55 degrees and the
end house at 45 degrees with the tem-
perature at 30 degrees below zero outside
and a strong wind blowing.

Will a furnace room twenty feet wide
accommodate another such steamer?
Could the furnace room be still narrower
and accommodate two such steamers?
How long should the furnace room be to
be handy in cleaning flues, etc.?

We expect to run the feed pipe on the
ground up hill the length of the end
house; from this branch into each house
and again branch to each of four benches
in each house, connecting with 1^4 -inch
coil under benches and running down
hill, one foot drop to eighty feet, to
the west end of the houses, joining return
pipe back to the boiler.

Do you know of others using this sys-
tem for steam with success? How large
should the feed pipe be at the boiler
(without dome), to heat eight houses?
How many 1 ^4-inch pipes are required to
heat each house? F. C. S.

A thirty horse-power boiler will be
sufficient to heat the four greenhouses in
question. A 20-foot boiler room will
accommodate three such boilers, if care-
fully arranged side by side. A 16-foot
room would hold two boilers, provided
the retaining wall be made one of the
boiler walls.

A 34-foot room is about as short as
a 14-foot boiler can well be worked in.
There should be four feet at the rear
of the boilers and the length of the tubes
in front, plus three or four feet for con-

venience in working and cleaning tools,
unless outside doors can be provided
through which flue-cleaning can be done.
Such an arrangement would require
about thirty-six feet in the clear.

i do not know of those who are satis-
fied with the flow pipes on the ground,
unless it is a main riser carried through
an end house or potting shed and the
risers through the houses carried under
the ridge. A large plant built two years
ago with all steam pipes under the
benches is now being remodeled, the
risers being placed under the ridge. The
under-bench system produced a variation
of 20 degrees to 30 degrees in the two
ends of 150-foot houses. The overhead
flow through the house, with the distri-
bution at the end farthest from the main
riser has remedied the defect of the other
system above noted. Go slow on the
ground system.

A 4-inch flow will carry the four
houses in question and a 4-inch opening
in each boiler connecting to a 6-inch
main flow will be sufficient for the eight
houses. Each of the houses to be run at
65 degrees should be provided with a
2 1,2 -inch riser and seventeen 1^4 -inch re-
turns, arranged under the benches and
each of the houses to be run at 55 de-
grees should have a 2-inch flow and four-
teen 1^4 -inch returns. The 6-inch flow
through the leanto cover house will pro-
vide enough heat except in severe
weather, when two 1^4 -inch returns on'
the outside wall should be available.

flowers, three benches. The other houses
are to be all in one; four houses to be
fourteen feet wide and the south house
seventeen feet wide with south wall five
feet high, two feet glass. The north
wall is to be six and one-half feet, the
same as the gutter supports, with glass
gable on one end. The flower house is
to be kept at 60 degrees and the others
at 50 degrees. The temperature is some-
times as low as 10 degrees below zero
outside. We would like to know the
amount of piping required when hot-
water is used and how the piping should
be arranged. Which is preferable: all
4-inch pipe, or smaller pipe? There will
be 110 benches except in the north house.
Would it be best to use small pipe for
returns in this house? If 4-inch pipe is
used would it be best to place all above
or below the benches in the north house?

S. B.

The house twenty feet wide to be
ruu at 60 degrees should be provided
with a 3-inch riser under the ridge and
eleven 2-inch returns arranged under the
benches. Each of the 14-foot houses can
be piped with a 2-inch flow under the
ri'lge and five 2-inch returns, or a 214-
inch flow under the second and fourth
valley gutters, supplying five 2-inch re-
turns in each 14-foot room. The 17-foot
house should have a 2 14 -inch flow and
eight 2-inch returns. I suggest this ar-
rangment because the cost of material
is somewhat less than for 4-inch cast-iron
pipe and the work of installation can be
much more quickly and cheaplv done.

The Market

We are having weather much more
appropriate to April than to this month.
The temperature rises to about 60 de-
grees every day. The frost is all out of
the ground. In several localities I have
noticed lilacs with the buds starting,
some even showing color. A few more
days of this kind of weather and a heavy
freeze will do a great deal of damage.

Business has been all that could be
desired. The supply has been about
equal to the demand and prices well
sustained. Bride roses have perhaps been
the scarcest article on the market, as
there are not enough of them to fill all
orders. American Beauties have not
been coming so very strong and more
could be used at times. Bulbous stock
has been having its innings and has
been selling in first-class shape. Tulips
have been in especially good demand.
Violets are not quite in such heavy sup-
ply and are selling fairly well. Lilies
of all kinds have been good property.

Cold storage ferns are beginning to be
scarce, especially good ones. Asparagus
plumosus and Sprengeri are scarce. Smi-
lax is none too plentiful. There is
plenty of good adiantum but it sells
well.

The retail florists are filling their win-
dows with plants, ready for the spring
trade. Some fine azaleas and primulas
are shown.

Carnation Show.

The committee in charge of our carna-
tion show and the banquet to be given
to visitors March 10 reports everything
almost in readiness. It is expected the
invitation extended to all florists to be
present at our carnation show will bring
a large number of visitors. From pres-
ent indications the show will be a great
one and well worth any grower's time.
Several of the largest seedling producers
in the country have promised to have
their latest varieties on exhibition. Any
one wishing to receive a schedule of pre-
miums can obtain same by addressing
the undersigned. C. J. Ohmer.

PITTSBUHG.

The Market

Business among the cut flower people
is still holding up to the supply and
prices have continued good. Stock has
cleaned up nicely along most lines, es-
pecially roses and carnations. Washing-
ton's birthday did not have any special
effect, being just a good average day.
Among the market people the fact that
prices are still holding up hurts some.
Their trade is much better when they
can get good stock cheap.

Lilac seems to be overdone this sea-
son. "While yellow narcissi do not seem
to be as plentiful as some other seasons,
the demand is not nearly so great.
Sprengeri is cut young and with most
of it the points are gone, which detracts
from its value; this, however, is on ac-
count of the scarcity of green stuff.

Various Notes.

Mrs. E. A. Williams used a number of
handsome large silk flags in decorating
her window for Washington's birthday
and the effect was excellent.

Chas. Peterson, of East Liverpool, O.,
was in the city last Tuesday. He ex-
pects to get into his new store very
shortly. He, like many other business
men in his town, has been compelled to
share with someone else since the big
fire which destroyed a large portion of
the business part of their town.

The Pittsburg Bose & Carnation Co.,
which has been cutting some very fine
roses, has decided to build several more
of the large rose houses, 50x450 feet,
this spring.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is han-
dling some very fine white snapdragon.

W. A. Herbert, of Wellsville, O., was
a visitor last week.

M. C. Dunlevy & Sons, of Carnegie,
Pa., are adding a stock of palms and
other decorative plants to their estab-
lishment to take care of that part of the
business in and about Carnegie.

The verdict given Charles Hoffman
against the coal company some time ago
does not seem to be satisfactory to
either party and the coal company talks
of carrying it to the higher court.

J. B. Murdock & Co. report business
good right along.

David Geddis, who started about the
first of December, in Homestead, Pa.,
is more than pleased with his success.
He has had a great many small decora-
tions for luncheons, teas and other so-
cial affairs since the first of the year,
besides the Business Men's annual ban-
quet. Hoo-Hoo.

The best is the cheapest in the end. "Cheap"
greenhouse material is expensive.

It costs just as much to erect houses with poor ma-

The Weekly Florists' Review-

March 1, 1906.

WE LEFT YOU

last week just after warming up thorough-
ly on the cypress question ; you seemed
only half convinced, so the only thing to
do is to turn the other barrel on you.

Now isn't it after all a pure matter of confidence in a firm? Suppose you buy your material,
it comes to you painted ; how can you tell what grade that c3T)res8 is, if nine-tenths of the men
don't know it when not painted? Here is the way we do it : Some parts of a piece maybe sap free,
these parts we saw out, discard the rest. An average of 20 per cent is thrown out. That's just the
reason our materials cost a bit more than the other fellows, for the same reason, it's the reason why
they last longer.

Don't make the mistake of putting: off orderlnif ;
we can't promise against delays If you do.

Seed Sowing.

This will be the month of seed sow-
ing in the greenhouses. Annuals, such
as zinnia, ten-weeks' stocks and Phlox
Drummondii, will be soon enough f£ sown
about the middle of the month, because
you cannot give them bench room till
the relief of Easter has come. When
occupying flats, after transplanting from
the seed flats, a cold frame is the best
])lace you can afford for them. Asters
for earliest crop should be sown at once.
Sow thinly, for if the seed is fresh it will
surely come up thicker than you intended
and before you can get at the transplant-
ing they have long and spindling stems,
a bsd foundation for their future health
and strength.

Shade and a temperature of 50 degrees
will do very well till the seedlings ar'^
through the soil. From then on thcv
niu>*t have the fullest light and can do
with a few degrees less heat. The prin-
cipal object is to prevent them fro?
(.Irawing up, witli a thin, weak stem.

Transplanting Seedlings.

it may be well to mention here my
version of transplanting these little seed-
lings. The flat should be three inches
deep, the soil made moderately firm,
with sTuooth, even surface. With a blunt
dibble, half an inch or more in widtb,
make a deep hole. Then let the seed-
ling down, with its roots hanging
straight, not bent upwards. Always in-
sert the plant deep enough to let its
seed leaves rest on the surface of the
soil. The next most important thing to
observe is to insert the dibble into the
soil by the side of the plant so that the
soil is pressed firmly around the roots.
Some men who call themselves gardeners
will do all the squeezing around the neck
of the tender stem at the surface and
leave the roots dangling in space. Many
may say that water will settle the ^il
around the roots. Partially, it will, but
not sufficiently. We have passed through
this experience years ago, and trusted
to workmen who ought to have known
better, with the loss of thousands of
asters.

Firming the Soil.

Years ago Peter Henderson, in his lit-
tle book. Gardening for Profit, laid par-
ticular stress on tnis operation in con-
nection with planting out cabbage, cauli-
flower and celery. He calls it firming
the soil and nothing in all his practical
writing is truer. It is equally true of
the infantile succulent asters, a cab-
bage or a Norway spruce or American
elm. You must have the soil in close
contact with the roots and fibers or they
will not take hold and support them-
selves. All these simple things a florist
and gardener should know, but, alas, they
don't or, in correct English, "don't you
know ' ' they do not !

Care for the Asters.

It will be noticed in tlie fall that asters
are not injured by one or two degrees
of "frost, yet when quite succulent two

degrees will kill them. Last year, being
crowded, we moved out from a green-
house twenty or thirty flats, about 2,000
strong, young plants, beneath the shade
of the old apple tree. Two degrees of
frost descended on this particular part
of the northern hemisphere and they
were as dead as the Philippine tariff bill
(shame on the senate).

Starting Dahlias.

Dahlias have been much in fashion for
several years and the quantity grown
in several establishments is prodigious.
Young plants propagated this spring are
quite as satisfactory for growing an
abundance of flowers as the old roots
and I think for producing prize flowers
the spring-struck plants are to be pre-
ferred. Old roots that you have win-
tered can be placed on a bench where
there is some bottom heat and sufficient
soil or decayed manure scattered on the
roots, but only enough to just hide the
tubers. At the apex of the tubers, or
where they adhere to the old stems, are
buds which will soon start and grow.
These cut off three or four joints long
and inserted in the propagating bed will
soon root and should be potted and grown
on. After once established in the small
pots they should have the fullest light
and plenty of syringing to keep down
spider and thrips. You cannot overdo
dahlias in the matter of deep, rich soil
and abundance of water in a dry time.
While the type of dahlias known as
"show," with their ])erfect form and
magnificent colors, are the queens of these
old favorites, the single, cactus and pom-
pon types arc best suited for the florist. ^

Geraniums for Memorial Day.

You might select just now a few hun-
dred of your best 3-inch zonal gera-
niums and shift them firmly into 5-inch
pots, using a rather stiff" loam with a
4-inch pot of bone flour to a bushel of
soil. These of course are not for bed-
ding plants, but fill a demand on Me-
morial day. A 4-inch pot plant with one
truss of flower scarcely fills the bill and
you can easily get double the ])rice for
the 5-inch plant with three or four
flowers and they will have taken up lit-
tle more space on the bench. Nothing
but the lightest bench will grow a double
geranium as it should be grown.

Of course plants that you select for
this purpose should have been stopped
some weeks ago and have three or four
breaks or lateral growths. Varieties
that are the best for summer bedding
may not always be the most suitable for
this purpose. S. A. Nutt is good for
any purpose, and so is Beauty Poitevine.
Marquis de Castellane is a fine red,
Gloire de France a good bright salmon
and our flesh pink is Miss Frances Per-
kins. More good varieties could be men-
tioned, but as in many other florists'
flowers, a great variety is not needed. A
good supply of the favorites is what you
want. I should add to the above a few
John Doyle, a compact, robust-growing
variety of the richest scarlet and just
the sort for the purpose.

Buy Easter Stock Now.

I can only conclude by giving you ad-
vice on preparing for Easter. If you
are short of rubbers, pandanuses, kentias
and, above all, i)lants that will with
proper care flower at the right time, buy
them now and don't wait till the stock
is culled and sold out. There are few
plants at the present day that have had
the ])opularity of tlie nephrolepis and
of all its varieties and forms none is so
p()I)ular as Scotti. From experience in
our own business we have lately, found
tliat the nmny forms of this nephrolepis,
Seottii is the most fascinating.

William Scott.

LIQUID FOOD.

During the remainder of the season
where the plants are healthy and vigor-
ous and the benches full of roots, stimu-
lants in a liquid form can be used with
great benefit. For this purpose there
is nothing better or safer than the liquid
from fresh cow manure, which contains
nearly all the elements necessary to plant
life and in their proper proportions.

To derive full benefit from this, the
manure should be placed in a tank and
allowed to ferment. To create speedy
fermentation the water should be at a
temperature of not less than 70 de-
grees, after which it should be drained
off into another tank and diluted to safe
proportions.

For a first application the liquid
should be rather weak until the plants
become accustomed to this class of food,
when the preparation can be made
stronger without, incurring any danger.

The proper time to apply this food is
when the young shoots have attained a
length of over four inches and should
be continued at least once every alter-

1056

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

March 8, 1006.

iiate week till the buds are well devel-
oped and should be discontinued when
the buds have so far matured as to show
good color.

The use of ammonia and nitrates at
certain stages of growth are also very
beneficial, but greater caution must be
used when applying them, as they are
very powerful and immediate in their
action. First applications should be
made very weak, increasing the strength
as observation of the effect would war-
rant. For a first application one pound
of either is sufficient for 100 gallons of
water.

During dark and cloudy weather it is
safer to use any of the preparations in
a weak form and frequently, rather than
run any risk by using them too strong.
As the days get longer the preparations
can be strengthened. Weak or un-
healthy stock is unable to use this
kind of food and any troubles they may
be suffering from will only be aggra-
vated. ElBES.

OLD OR YOUNG STOCK.

I wish to plant a bed of roses outside
for summer blooming and have Ivory,
('.olden Gate, Bride, Bridesmaid, old
Hlock, two years on bench and still in
splendid condition, and also young stock.
Which would give best results outside,
to lift the old or plant with young?

H. H. K.

If lifted carefully after danger from
frost is over, planted in good friable
soil and shaded for a few days, if the
weather is bright, the two years' stock
will give more immediate effect. One
year old stock, however, is preferable.
Young stock, carefully tended and prop-
erly handled, makes a very fine, perma-
nent bed after they are fairly estab-
lished. BiBES.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Too add variety to funeral sprays try
the combination of violets and freesias.
Cut the tight bunches of violets and re-
bunch into little knots of ten or a dozen,
with foliage, and arrange with fine ferns
like Pteris serrulata in a long slender
spray. Work in the violets spacingly at
the tip, then more freely towards the
base. Throw a bunch of freesia across
the stems and tie with violet cord in a
generous cluster.

Tulips and Easter lilies make a pleas-
ing combination, either for sprays or
decorative pieces; also Paper White
narcissi with Easter lilies. The Paper
Whites make a fine material for sprays.
These should form a long, slender clus-
ter, tied with green or white ribbon,
about No. 3, in many long bows. Keep
the natural foliage for background with
a few ferns added. To avoid a too
bulky stem to the spray, tie the ribbon
above the base of the stems inside the
foliage and allow the leaves to fall to
one side or the other, or backwards from
the flower stalks.

For a change in trimming the base
of a large standing piece, bed m two or
three Boston ferns so as to cover the
sphagnum. Use no flowers whatever in
the iDase. You wil.> like the effect.

The popularity of boxwood wreaths
continues unabated. It appeals alike to
extensive flower buyers and occasional
customers of moderate means. Red and
whjte flowers in a simple spray over
one side of the wreath are the favorite
colors for trimming, violets being close
seconds. Its durability, size and beauty
are strong points in its favor. The sim-
plicity appeals to one after an over-
abundance of the everlasting mixtures
seen at every funeral.

Try a generous spray of Richmond
roses with a knot of changeable red and
green taffeta ribbon for an elderly per-
son 's fimeral, or Bride roses tied with
embroidered chiffon for a child's fu-
neral.

Clusters may be made long and taper-
ing with only the natural foliage and
set on the boxwood wreath, or stemmed
six to eight inches long, three or four
to half a match-stick and inserted among
the boxwood foliage, at pleasure. Long
clusters, heavy at the top of the wreath
and tipped by buda, extending half way
around the wreath, seem to be the best

takers. The richer flowers^
quality or color, are best fitted
style of design.

Leave the valley, Romans, etc., in pos-
session of their own field in delicate
sprays and designs,

Gertrude Blair.

TRANSFER ORDERS.

Any retailer should easily be able to
get orders for delivery through other
retailers if he has a neat sign in his
window, or about his store, stating that
cut flowers or funeral designs can be
delivered in any city at brief notice.
Several Chicago retailers have quite
elaborate signs in their windows to get
this transfer business. One man has a
ground glass, which looks like a tam-
bourine, with a sign painted on it, and
back of it an electric light which goes
out for five seconds every half minute.
Another has a large wheel representing
a ship's steering apparatus supported
by crossed oars. In the center is a
blackboard. In the summer he posts
steamer sailings on the blackboard; in
the winter a bid for orders for funeral
or gift flowers to deliver in other cities.
Those who are sending out orders to
florists in other cities are naturally the
ones who are favored in the matter of
orders for delivery in their town.

ENGLISH FLQRAL FASHIONS. >

Where floral decorations have to be
done continuously through the season,
the practice of making some different
and distinct feature each time is much
more interesting and also more effective
than using mixed material every time.
At the Savoy hotel, London, where the
floral decorations have long been a great
feature each Sunday, they still carry
out the work well and make a distinct
change each week. The Horticultural
Trade Journal says that one Sunday it
was pink and white carnations; the pre-
vious week it was pink and white tulips.
It would seem that pink is to be as
popular as ever in London this season.

Robt. Green, Ltd., a leading London
retailer, has a number of various de-
signs made up in artificial flowers.
These are not intended for sale, but to
give customers an idea of the various
styles. The shower bouquet, which was
a creation of Mrs. Robert Green when

she was in this business, has undergone
some changes. One design was made of
lilac, all the clusters of flowers being
arranged lightly in a drooping position.
Instead of small flowers being wired onto
smilax or asparagus, most of the de-
signs had flowers hanging down natu-
rally on their own stems. The erect
bouquets are by no means extinct. Roses
arranged loosely on their own stems witli
good foliage made up in a conical or
pyramidal shape are popular. The
wands, or walking sticks trimmed witli
flowers and ribbons, was a novelty
noted. These are very convenient and
pretty for bridesmaids. The lightly ar-
ranged baskets are also in use and pre-
ferred by many to the ordinary bouquets.
For many years past the firm of Robert
Green has sustained a high reputation
for creating new and artistic designs in
floral work. Broad ribbons are still
much used for finishing off bouquets
and other floral arrangements, but the
cup-sliaped paper and lace arrangements
are quite out of date.

hand and hang downwards. One or two
twine wrappings will hold all in place.
Before beginning to put the armful to-
gether remove all thorns and about half
the rose foliage. Carry lightly over tiie
left arm. The bunch illustrated is of
fifty full bloom Chatenay roses.

The second bunch or armful shown
is of Timothy Eaton chrysanthemums
and, while it could not be reproduced at
present as represented, it can be used as
a smaller armful than the first in
American Beauties or other very large,
long-stemmed roses or lilies. They are
simply loosely laid over the arm of a
clerk and tied in the position which they
of tliemselvos assume. A smilax tie is
used here. It may be omitted or used,
according to fancy. If used, the strings
should be separated and used a little in
the sliowor effect without ribbon.

Gertrude Blair.

THE "ARMFUL" BOUQUET

For debutante or wedding bunches, the
"armful" bouquet is quite popular. Se-
lect long-stemmed specimen flowers Avith-
out much extra foliage or any tie. Build
the bunch over the left arm, letting the
very longest rest on the arm and fall
over the elbow. Spread upwards, fan-
shaped, till a few strong stems stand up-
right against the person Avell up to the
shoulder. Fill up along the lower arm
and over the hand with shorter and
weaker stemmed till the bunch is full
enough for the loMer half to cover the

VALLEY FOR STORAGE.

The following letter is from George
Hanson, valley grower at the Dale Es-
tate, Brampton, Out.:

In the Review of February 22 I find
E. Neubert's statement as to lily of
j the valley pips. I find hLs notes rather
I misleading. I suppose he is not taking
into consideration that in this country
wo have to place our valley in cold
storage on arrival in December. From
that time on most people call it cold
storage valley. We commence to use
this cold storage valley at the begin-
ning of January, and treat it as such up
to the end of March or beginning of
April. From that lime we commence

to treat it as retarded cold storage val-
ley.

It must be understood the process of
retarding commences at the time when
the valley in its natural course would
commence to grow.

]\ly experience with valley pips with
an abundance of fibrous, bunchy roots is
quite the reverse of Mr. Xeubert's. I
have forced all kinds of valley pips,
such as were grown in heavy clay, in
heavy loam, in light sandy loam, in
black peaty soil and in black sandy
soil, with short stubby roots, short
bunchy roots, long trailing roots and
with abundance of fibrous bunchy roots,
and have found those last named give
far the best results as an early, mid-
season and autumn forcing variety, in
the hands of a man who understands
their treatment.

Durijig the summer and autumn of last
year our valley was admired by all vis-
itors, among whom were leading florists
from the United States, who exclaimed,
"Simply perfection; the best valley
ever seen." We cannot sav the same
as :\Ir. Neubert, "20,000 to 30,000 a
day," but we do average about 5,000 a
day the year round.

Air. Neubert says that "valley pips
with abundant fibrous and bunchy roots
are most adapted and appreciated for
Christmas and early forcing," but says
"they should not be used for cold stor-
age, for reasons which only the producer
of the crowns is able to explain." It
would be interesting if Mr. Neubert
would explain, for the benefit of the
growers on this side of the Atlantic why
su.ch stock is not fit for cold storage
purposes.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Executive Committee Meeting;.

The executive committee of the Society
of American Florists was in session at
the Hotel Beckel, Dayton, O., on Mon-
day, Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week. Those present were President
Wm. F. Kasting, Buffalo; Vice-president
H. M. Altick, Dayton; Secretary W. J.
Stewart, Boston; directors, E. V. Hal-
lock, Queens, N. Y.; W. H. Elliott,
Brighton, Mass.; F. H. Traendly, New
York; P. J. Hauswirth, Chicago; H. H.
Ritter, Dayton. Also E. G. Hill, Rich-
mond, Ind. ; J. C. Vaughan and George
Asmus, Chicago; E. G. Gillett, Cincin-
nati; John Evans, Richmond, Ind., and
from time to time a number of the Day-
ton people.

Upon assembling the visitors were en-
tertained at a dinner tendered them by
the local contingent, the banquet room
in the Beckel hotel being lavishly deco-
rated. Discussion was had upon a num-
ber of subjects which the Washington
convention referred to the committee.
Among these was the matter of a na-
tional flower, a subject upon which no
agreement could be reached. At the
Tuesday evening session the committee
took a stand against the free distribu-

tion of seeds by the government and ex-
pressed its sentiments in the following
telegram to Wm. W. Cocks, the member
of congress from New York who intro-
duced in the committee on agriculture a
resolution looking to the ending of this
practice :

The directors of the Society of American Flo-
rists in executive session at the Beckel hotel,
Dayton, O., note your motion In the house com-
mittee on arRrlculture and congratulate you on
the successful stand you have made against the
free distritoutlon of seed. Can any of us help
you by coming to Washington?

Plans were discussed for the August
convention at Dayton. A program was
outlined.

Department of Plant Res[istration.

Wm. Schray & Sons, St. Louis, Mo.,
submit for registration Canna Superior;
height, three to four feet; foliage, green;
flowers, cherry red with light gold band.
Also Alternanthera aurea robusta, a
sport from aurea nana; much stronger
grower than the type, the leaves being
one-half inch wider, more highly colored
and retaining color better than the type.

A. C. Zvolanek, Bound Brook, N. J.,
submits for registration winter-flowering
sweet peas. Secretary William J. Stewart
(Christmas Captain x Countess Spen-
cer); color, blue; Mrs. W. W. Smalley
(Enchantress x Mrs. E. Wild), color,
satin pink. W. J. Stewart, Sec'y.

GREEN CARNATIONS.

Next week Saturday will be Ireland's
day, sometimes known as St. Patrick's,
and the occasion^ for the maltreatment
of a large number of white carnations.
Since the dyes have been freely offered
for coloring carnations green there has
been a very large business done in them
at each recurring St. Patrick's day. This
year not only will the retailers dye car-
nations in large numbers, but green car-
nations will be an item of stock in a
great many wholesale houses for ship-
ment a day or two prior to March 17.
Last year there was an excellent sale for
them and good money made, regardless
of what one may think of the practice
of coloring the divine flower.

A NEW BEDFORD SEEDLING.

H. A. Jahn, who is well known as a
raiser of seedUng carnations, has a very
interesting assortment at his establish-
ment at Clark's Point, New Bedford,
Mass. The writer was especially pleased
to see his new white variety. No. 49,
which scored ninety points at the recent
carnation convention in Boston and
which has attracted widespread atten-
tion. This variety I believe has no equal
in its color in America today. It has
form, purity of color, fragrance, a strong
calyx and wonderful stem, the latter
stronger than any other carnation I
have ever seen.

It is withal a great bloomer. I
counted plants from which twelve flowers
had been picked and as many more were
in sight. It breaks freely and is easily
i-ooted. Stems are now two and a half

to three feet long and blooms average
three and a half inches across and will
reach four inches on later flowers. We
failed to find a burst calyx and consider
this .seedling a winner in every way. Mr.
Jahn has had some tempting offers for
liis stock, but has not parted with it
yet.

Quite a number of other good seed-
lings were notejd and quantities of the
new season's crop of seedlings were ger-
minating and in some cases were pricked
off. A general assortment of other
flowers and plants for furnishing are
grown.

Mr. Jahn has a store on Purchase
street. Four othei- stores are located
near-by, those of Messrs. Haskell, Pierce,
E. H. Chamberlain and S. S. Peckham.
The only other store in town is that of
R. H. Woodhouse, which is quite an up-
to-date one and is attached to his fine
greenhouse plant. W. N. C.

A PECULIAR SEASON.

Recent months have shown many pecu-
liarities which have occasioned discus-
sion among the cut flower growers and
dealers. It has been a period of com-
parative scarcity and high prices. Not
in years have prices held so uniformly
high at the season as during the past
January and February. This has ap-
plied not only to roses and carnations,
but to other items of stock, although
generally the increased values of mis-
cellaneous items has been attributed to
the scarcity and high prices of roses and
carnations.

There has not been a great increase
in the demand; business has shown no
great advance and the cause of the unu-

sual conditions has generally been laid
to low production. Here and there a
grower has had much better than the
usual results this season, but on the aver-
age the cuts of both roses and carnations
have been below the norm?il. In spite
of material increases in glass area last
year, the majority of growers have cut
less stock through January and Febru-
ary than they did a year ago. Usually
there has been a glut at some time dur-
ing these two months. It has not de-
veloped this year.

The reports of decreased production
apply to practically all varieties. Beauty
has been scarce and made record prices.
In New York and Philadelphia the best
Beauties wholesaled at Christmas prices
in the latter half of February. In west-
ern markets the advance was not quite
so great, but it was nevertheless pro-
nounced. Tea roses have averaged better
in nearly the same proportion and carna-
tion growers report average returns for
their flowers ahead of any recent years.
Money returns per square foot of glass
probably do not exceed normal because
of smaller cuts.

Why should production have been cur-
tailed? The records of the weather bu-
reau show that generally in January and
February the proportion of sun was
much greater than normal, and this con-
dition has held good ever since the he-
ginning of November. At Chicago in
February there were seven perfectly
clear days. There were twelve days in
which the sun was clouded for a part
of the day and only nine days in which
the sun did not shine. During the entire
month there was no time when snow ob-
scured the greenhouse glass. At no time
this year has there been over three
inches of snow on the ground in the
great cut flower producing district north
of Chicago. During the month of Febru-
ary the mean temperature was 28 de-
grees, as against 17 degrees in 1904 and
17 degrees in 1905. The coldest day
was February 2, 6 degrees above zero.
January 1 to March 1 the excess in
temperature compared to normal was 322
degrees. These weather conditions have
prevailed to a greater or less extent
throughout the United States and it
might well be supposed that the season
was unusually favorable for cut flower
production, although the results have not
materialized.

THE READERS* CORNER.

More About a Roll of Carpet.

In answering your correspondent, W.
D., in reference to how to go about
planting a bed to represent a roll of
carpet, I think I may have overdone
the length of the bed. I said twenty-
five to thirty feet. I have since thought
that perhaps fifteen to twenty feet would
be nearer the length of the bed I had
reference to. It is about ten years,
now, since I was in the place referred
to. However, the length, or width, is
only a secondary consideration, as any
one planting such a bed can plant what-
ever size of a bed suits the place best
where it is to be.

I read the answer sent by C. H. G. to
the same question and it brought back
to my mind a thing we did in planting
our roll, too; that was, inserting some
short pieces of pipe in the top of the roll
to pour water in. This is to keep the
roll moist, as the water, leaving the
pipes, saturates the roll good and pre-
vents it from drying out. The putting

of pieces of wire of the same size on
each end of the roll to prevent the soil
from falling out was another thing I
noticed C. H. G. spoke of. This we did,
also. If I had a bed of the same sort
to plant, I could do it and then would
probably not forget anything, but writ-
ing a few lines in a hurry one does not
really think until after how prone we
are to forget. Hamilton Scott.

Price Cutting.

I was much pleased with the article
and comments about price cutting in
last week's Keview. I have a case of
the kind. Three or four years ago,
when I got competition, everything was
cut to pieces and, of course, it hurt
the first year very much.

In a small place of 1,500 inhabitants
everyone knows everybody else's busi-
ness and with few exceptions the price
counts moro than anything else. In a
large city quality will always find its
purchaser, but not so in a small place.
Naturally I had to drop some in price
and it is very hard to raise again. 1
have always contended for a good price
for a good article; every man is worthy
of his hire, and rather than give stock
away to those that can afford to buy it,
I prefer to put it in the boiler or rub-
bish leap.

There is surely no sense in this price
cutting, because trade will find its level,
and after one has been in business for
a number of years he will hold his
share of that trade in spite of most
everything. Of course, the fellow that
cuts on a certain article may draw a
little for a day or two until his com-
petitor finds out what he is doing, when
he will naturally drop, also, and there
you have it; in the end no trade gained,
but prices are lost and hard to regain
again. I wish every "cutter" could
read those articles and profit by them.

J. B.

An lowan's Method.

I have a small house, a 6-foot bench
in the center for carnations, side
benches for pot-plants, ferns, lilies.

begonias and primroses. I have had
splendid success with Primula Obconica
and it is a good seller here and makes
up so nicely in small designs for poor
people who cannot afford carnations. I
am afraid I will have to discard it, for
1 have to handle it with gloves, as it
j)oisons my hands. What can I use in
its place? How is Primula stellata?

I would like to tell how I am growing
carnations. I put two inches of well rot-
ted manure in the bottom of my bench,
then three or four inches of good garden
soil, well mixed, with sand on top of
tliat. About the first of September 1
j>ut in nice stocky plants that had not
bloomed and they have made fine plants,
with from eight to fifteen buds on a
I)lant and my Lawsons have 18-inch to
L'O-inch stems. My white is fine, Queen
LouLse; red very good, Eoosevelt. I
shall cover the bench with about one inch
of good rich soil as a mulch as soon as
the frost is out and I can handle it.
I have used a very little Bowker's
plant food and that is all. I will carry
them in the bench until after Decoration
day, then put them in my garden, where
they will give me a few blooms to help
with my roses.

I grow roses in summer and winter
them in a pit four feet deep with glass
and straw over them. The best bloomers
for Iowa are Clothilde Soupert, Kaiserin,
Helen Gould and the pink and white
C'ochet. Haven 't found a red that suits
me yet. R. E. W.

GROWTH ON PETUNIAS.

1 am sending you a sample of a
growth at the base of a petunia plant
and wish to know the cause of it and
vvliether it is a disease that renders the
plant unfit to make cuttings from. Some
plants have knots of this growth two
inches in diameter. W. N. T.

unless it be some variety of petunias of
great excellence. Why do you bother
witi: cuttings when they are so easily
raised from seed? Procure the best
strain and buy only seed that is sold
f<ir double. You will get about forty per-
iciit double, and they will be healthy,
vigorous, free from rust and all other
troubles and will have cost you one-half
the trouble and expense of the plants
raised by cuttings, W. S.

BEST EUROPEAN PLACES.

I propose spending a part of the com-
ing summer in southern England, Ger-
many, northern France, Holland, Bel-
gium and Switzerland. Being interested
in the nursery business, especially the
landscape department, it will be a great
iielp in making up my itinerary if those
of the trade who have recently visited
Europe will tell through the Review the
names, locations and principal features
of notable landscape work in the several
countries mentioned. It will, of course,
be impossible . to see all of Europe in
one trip, but I wish to see the best
l)laces and probably there are many
others who are going to Europe this
year who may be glad to be told briefly
which of the many things of trade in-
terest they should not fail to see.

Tourist.

This growth on petunias is very com-
mon. I don't know that it should be
called a disease; it is more an excre-
scence and quite local. The remainder
of the plant may be healthy and vigor-
ous, yet I would consider it unwise to
propagate from the plants thus affected

DISEASED GERANIUMS.

We have always been told geraniums
were free from disease. I am sending
a leaf of Trego and one of an ivy-
leaved that are affected with a disease
that killed a number of our plants last
season. We did not bring in any dis-
eased ones, but bought new stock of
Trego. Can you give us the cause anil
the remedy?

When should moon-vine seed be planted
to make salable plants for spring?

What are the best remedies for wliitc
fly and mealy bug? ^\. C.

It is true that the zonal geranium is
free from any specific disease that is
peculiar to the genus, such as the spot
on violets or the fungus on the holly-

book, but tliat is not saying they are
not attacked by diseases that are brought
on by unfavorable conditions or misman-
agement. The leaves sent were like a
piece of thin, black leather and we could
recognize no particular trouble.

Moonvine should be sown at once to
produce good, strong plants for this
spring.

The white liy, the omnivorous little
creature so troublesome of late years, is
effectually destroyed by the hydrocyanic
acid gas. The fornuila has been pub-
lished repeatedly in the Beview. One
application is not enough; it needs three
times, because tl)e eggs are not de-
stroyed by the gas. Kerosene emulsion
is the best remedy for mealy bug.

WITH THE GROWERS.

John Tailby & Son, Wellesley, Mass.

Joseph Tailby & Son 's place is quite
near the Wellesley station of the Boston
& Albany R. R. They grow a miscel-
laneous assortment of stock, having con-
siderable local trade. They also have a
stand at the Music hall market, Boston.
Bulbous stock is quite a specialty witli
them, narcissi, tulips, Spanish iris and
gladioli being grown in quantity. Liliuni
candiduni is grown on benciies. We do
not, however, consider this mode of cul-
ture as good as in })ots. 11. P. roses,
violets, Nephrolepis Elegantissima, cy-
clamens, azaleas, and other stock is
handled. A lot of Lilium speciosum
rubrum is now in bloom. In carnations,
Fair Maid, White Lawson and Queen
are chiefly grown. Princess of Wales
violets looked well. Joseph Tailby is an
encyclopnndia of horticultural lore and
as keen a plantsman as ever.

grand standard of Acacia pubescens was
at its best. There were big specimens
of azalea.s, Streptosolen Jamesonii and
camellias in flower. A well grown An-
gra?cum sesquipedale carried ten flowers.
The head gardener, I'homas Watt, also
had other well grown orchids.

At Walter Hunnewell's estate^ where
T. 1). Hatfield presides, fruit houses
were iieing gotten in readiness to start.
A quantity of September flowering
chrysanthemums, which Mr. Hatfield se-
cured in Great Britain last year, were
Iwing proj^agated. Nice batches of cal-
ceolarias, ericas, acacias, etc., were
noted. In the orchid houses plants
looked well. A batch of over 100 Mil-
• touia vexillaria were starting to push
spikes. These are in G-inch to 8-inch
pots and are grand specimens. One
carried eighty flowers last season. Catt-
leyas looked well, as did the phalaenop-
sis, vandas, saccolabiums and other warm
house varieties. A plant of Angra?cum
sesquipedale carried twelve flowers.
Some fine baskets of the sweetly scented
Vanda Amesiana were just going out of
bloom.

l>ed Cole, at Mrs. Arthur Hunne-
Avell 's, has some nice seedling carnations
which promise well. Leptosyne mari-
tima is liked for cut flowers. Its lemon
flowers an. .laag.^teins. a^re.. freely pro-
duced in pots. Schizanthus is a favorite
pot-plant here and is used for piazza
decorations in early summer.

of the neatest and most up-to-date plants
in the vicinity of Boston. Three houses,
each 23x200, are devoted to carnations.
The sorts grown are Mrs. Patten and
Chester Roper for variegated; Queen,
White Lawson and Ladv Bountiful in

Acacia Pubescens Grown by Thomas Watt, Wellesley, Mass

George Sibthorpe's place is quite near
that of Tailby & Son. Carnations oc-
cupy one house 13x143. Varieties are
Fair Maid, Enchantress, Flamingo,
Queen, White Lawson, Manley and
Fenn. A miscellaneous assortment of
other stock is grown. All flowers are
sold at home.

Wellesley's Private Places.

At Wellesley College greenhouses we
always see some interesting plants. A

white, the first named being mostly
grown and does well here; Manley, scar-
let; Fenn, crimson; Lawson, dark pink;
Enchantress and Fair Maid, light pink,
the last named being the favorite of its
color.

A pink seedling a little lighter than
Scott is under trial, also a white seedling
of L. E. Small's and other sorts. The
propagating house is filled with a splen-
did lot of cuttings, not a sign of bac-
teria or rust l^eing noted on them. A

batch of 500 splendid cyclamens and a
large lot of hydrangeas are the only
other plants seen here. Everything is
very conveniently arranged and extreme
neatness prevails throughout the whole
place, of which Mr. Barr has every
reason to be proud. A model dwelling
overlooking the romantic Charles river
is nearing completion. W. N. C.

THE FLORISTS OF ILLINOIS.

The Illinois State Florists' Associa-
tion was organized February 25 and in-
corporated March 20, 1905. The object
is to unite all the gardeners and florists
of the- state into an organization to pro-
mote the interests of floriculture. To
accomplish this object it is proposed to
hold meetings for the discussion of topics
of mutual interest and to hold exhibi-
tions in the larger cities of the state,
to educate the public and to stimulate
their interest in flowers. It is hoped
that the public may be brought to a
realization of the great possibilities in
the beautifying of home grounds with
flowers and plants.

Further, it is the purpose of this or-
ganization through these meetings, ex-
hibitions and reliable press reports to
bring to the knowledge of people the
importance of floriculture in this state,
so that they shall appreciate the fact
that, considered from the commercial
standpoint, floriculture is the largest
horticultural interest in Illinois.

Another object which the organization
hopes to accomplish is the securing of
an appropriation from the state for the
construction of greenhouses at the Illinois
Experiment Station and the carrying out
of investigations to find means of pre-
venting fungus diseases and the destruc-
tion of insect pests affecting greenhouse
plants. Thus the florists' industry will
be placed on an equal footing, as it de-
serves, with the other agricultural inter-
ests of the state, all of which have been
benefited by special legislative appro-
priations for several years. The work
undertaken will be determined upon by
this organization and cannot help but be
of immense value to the trade.

Another line of work of the associa-
tion will bo the furnishing of reliable
information to the public and the en-
couragement of the school gardening
movement and the work of civic improve-
ment societies, either by the society
itself or by providing funds to enable
the experiment station to publish and
supply information on gardening mat-
ters, which it is unable to do now.

The organization will be in a position
to request, insist and possibly demand
that a fair share of the appropriations
made by the state for maintaining horti-
cultural exhibits at international and
other fairs shall be spent in the interest
of floriculture and further to support
the National Council of Horticulture in
securing for horticulture in general
overv benefit which rightfullv belongs
to it.

The above are some of the many things
the Illinois State Florists ' Association can
accomplish. If the florists have not se-
cured that to which they had a right it
is because they have not had an organi-
zation covering the whole state to prop-
erly present their claims and to bring
pressure where and when needed. When
the florists of the state appeared in legis-
lative halls at Springfield they had to
spend a vast amount of time in educat-
ing the lawmakers that floriculture
amounted to something and therefore de-

served an appropriation. If the fact
that floriculture represents an investment
of millions of dollars had been well
known, the efforts of the committee could
have been confined to showing what could
be accomplished by the proposed investi-
gations. Whether the general public
shall remain thus ignorant of the im-
portance of our industry remains for the
florists to determine.

It seems possible to spread the present
popular interest in flowers and plants
by holding exhibitions in some of the
larger cities of the state and thus bring
to an ever increasing number of people
the enjoyment of perfect flowers and
pipnts, a pleasure hitherto confined large-
ly to the great cities. Every influence
which tends to increase the love of orna-
mental plants among the people should
be fostered and encouraged. Every
florist in the state is vitally interested
in all these things and the success of
the organization is measured by the
wnanimity with which the florists rally
to its standard.

much decreased. It is too late now to
sow the seed for this summer's bedding,
whatever temperature you employ, and
it must be grown cool to produce useful
plants.

It is also much too late to sow Cen-
tauroa candidissima. "When we used this
plant for flower gardening we sowed it
in October or propagated from lifted
plants in midwinter. It went out of
fashion because such a large percentage
of the plants would die and leave blanks
during the summer. Seed sown now
would be very small plants at the end of
May, and useless for flower gardening.

Santolina incana is a much better
white-foliaged plant in every way.

ECHEVERIAS.

How largo will echeverias be June 1,
if they are seeded March 1 and kept in
a warm house? Will Centaurea candidis-
sima be large enough for bedding June
1 if seed is planted March 1? Where
van I find some Echeveria secunda glauca
plants? W. L.

Echeverias of some varieties are often
raised from seed, but secunda glauca is
usually increased by off"shoots. \ think
a want advertisement in the Review
would be sure to bring you offers. Since
carpet bedding has declined in popular
favor the stock of E. secunda glnuca has

THE WEILAND FAMILY.

The Weilands, of Evanston, 111., are
a family of florists. The father is Mat-
thias Weiland, a veteran grower for the
Chicago market. He started in business
in Chicago's intellectual suburb more
than twenty years ago. He has built
up a large retail trade, but produces so
much stock in his big range of glass that
a considerable quantity usually remains
to be wholesaled in Chicago. Mr. Wei-
land says that his best year, so far as
profits are concerned, was 1893, the
year of the World's Fair.

John Weiland, the eldest son, is a
grower on his own account at Evanston.
lie has a large range of glass, a retail
store and considerable stock to whole-
sale. Peter Weiland is the senior mem-
ber of the firm of Weiland & Oliiiger,
of New Castle, Ind., with a wholesale
store at Cincinnati. They have a big
i plant, devoted to roses and carnations.
George Weiland is in charge of his
father's Evanston retail store.

It has been Mr. Weiland 's practice to
assist his sons to a business of their
own as fast as they readied the i)roper

age. He went to Denver a fortnight
ago with the avowed intention of buy-
ing real estate on which to build a range
ot^ glass for Henry, the youngest son,
whose health it was tliought would be
benefited by the change of climate. All
the ))lans were made for erecting the
greenhouses but, arrived at Denver, Mr.
Weiland changed his mind and when he
left for hom.e Henry was installed on a
fruit farm purchased for him.

The eldest daughter is Mrs. John
Didior, whose husband was a well-known
grower at Rogers Park, growing carna-
tions exclusively, but shipping to both
Milwaukee and Chicago commission
houses. A younger daughter is Mrs.
Peter J. Olinger, whose husband is the
junior partner of Weiland & Olinger,
and who has charge of that firm's Cin-
cinnati store. Anna Weiland is the
bookkeeper at her father's retail store.
There are two younger girls, Margaret
and Helen, still in school.

:Mrs. Weiland is a sister of Peter
Reinberg and George Reinberg. She is
also a sister of Mrs. Adam Zender, the
Rogers Park grower.

The most important point iu railroad

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Mabch 8, 1906.

thoughts and efforts concentrate, and
from this radiates all that we do and
all that we leave undone. A railroad
company does not beautify its station
grounds for philanthropic reasons. The
basic idea is to increase traffic and to
do this, surroundings are made as at-
tractive as possible.

Another point we have aimed at is
hedging for the purpose of preventing
snow-drifts, as well as for ornament.
For this purpose we have found nothing
to beat \he California privet. We have
heard some complaint as to the hardiness
of this plant, but our experience has
been very fortunate. We have lost but
few, even in the bad years that killed
off so many in this latitude. The Osage
orange we have discarded entirely. It
is subject to scale and the robber roots
run all over the adjoining field. Be-
sides that, it is very hard to trim except
when :t is in the soft state. California
privet iS very easily trimmed.

Use of Evergreens.

I>uring the years that have elapsed
since I talked to you before, the most
decided change that has taken place in
methods is the increased use of hardy
herbaceous plants and evergreens. The
evergreen is not only showy in summer,
but is soothing and picturesque in win-
ter and gives that pleasing touch to the
landscape which we all so much appre-
ciate. All Xhe thuyas and retinosporas
are good, but I do not recommend the
arbor-vitse on account of the bag worm.
For embankments we find the Scotch
broom a very satisfactory shrub. We
do not use the Wichuraiana rose much
for embankments, as it costs too much to
prepare the soil.

For shrubbery groups the weigelia,
forsythia, laburnum, Prunus Pissardi
and amygdalus are excellent. Of course
we have to depend on the old-fashioned
carpet beds to brighten things up with
color around the stations.

Bedding Plants.

Our best scarlet geranium is Denison 's
Seedling, and we also use a good many
of John Doyle, which is the same color.
6. A. Nutt is too dark for railroad pur-
poses and it does not clean itself
enough. Le Pilot is about as dark as
we can use effectively, but this variety
is running out somewhat and we need one
with a better constitution. In pinks
we pin our faith to Glorieaux. La Fa-
vorite is one of the best whites I have
tried.

In cannas we still believe in Fuerst
Bismarck. It is an elegant bright scar-
let with green foliage, a fine grower and
blooms all the time. It also cleans itself
nicely and always looks fresh and bright.
Mile. Berat is a good pink and is grand
all by itself in a big bed. We like
Buttercup better than Florence Vaughan
for a yellow. Of the giant, orchid-
flowering cannas, we like Kate Grey the
best. For a large bed twenty or thirty

feet in diameter this is hard to beat.
Bouvier, Egandale, and Madame Crozy
are still among our stand-bys. For a good
all-around dark foliaged variety, Egan-
dale is still in the race.

EKAtive Bedding Pieces.

One of the most effective pieces of bed-
ding last season was composed of cannas
and Souvenir d'Bonn abutilon with
Coleus Verschaffeltii. Another was com-
posed of Admiral Avellan canna, scarlet
sage and next the grass Coleus Ver-
schaffeltii. This had a fine effect, flowers
red, foliage red, the whole thing red,
wonderfully striking, indeed.

We use eulalia quite freely for orien-
tal effects; but the arundo and pennise-
tum are not hardy enough for us. The
dwarf growing begonias sucT as Vernon
and other semperflorens varieties are
very useful and keep in bloom all sum-
mer long. They look best with an edg-
ing of Madame Salleroi geranium. A
combination of Abutilon Savitzii and
acalypha makes a beautiful contrast.

We still use the Golden Bedder
coleus. It is hard to beat as a good
all-around yellow. Nero and Verschaf-
feltii are also good. We use peonies
freely, mixed in with the shrubbery.
Hardy phloxes are now much in vogue,
and we are finding them most valuable.

For backgrounds, the hardy sunflowers
are grand and there is now a fine variety
of these to choose from. Anemones,
tulips, crocus and other things that can-
not be seen in winter, we leave alone,
as railroad workers have no respect for
anything they can't see. Everything
goes right under when they get at it
with pick and shovel.

Station Grounds.

From what I hear, Philadelphians are
quite proud of the ornamental character
of the Heading Bailroad stations in their
vicinity. It gives them something to
point to with satisfaction when strangers
are around, besides being pleasant to look
at for themselves. Personally, it would
not be in good taste for me to talk
about that, but I may be pardoned for
saying that in my recent travels through
the south, I saw nothing in the same
line that I wanted to take my hat off to.

I did see a few wonderful things,
however. One of them was the croton
hedges in Florida. Imagine a hedge of
this brilliant foliage plant eight or ten
feet high and splendidly developed.
This was a revelation to me and really
a grand sight. The hibiscus, single and
double, was in bloom during my visit
and was simply covered with thousands
of blooms. These latter were especially
fine in the English colony in Nassau.
But as a rule, the southern country
looked to me poor and miserable. A
trip to Atlantic City is a treat in com-
parison. When you come to a hotel it
is O. K., but outside of that j'ou might
as well go to sleep.

A HEATER FOR HOTBEDS.

The accompanying illustration is from
a drawing of the apparatus for heating
hotbeds, invented by Henry Austin, of
Felton, Del., and patented. The ob-
ject of the invention is to provide
a simple, inexpensive and efficient
apparatus for supplying heat for hotbeds
for starting and forcing early vegetables
and to enable the draft to be controlled,
so that the apparatus may be safely left
without attention for a considerable
length of time. A further object is
to provide an apparatus in which a
comparatively small amount of fire
wiU effectually heat large areas and
to provide means for preventing the
plants close to the fire from receiving
too much heat and those remote from
the fire receiving too little heat.

The illustration shows a longitudinal
sectional view. No. 1 designates a hot-
bed designed in practice to be fifty feet
in length and ten feet in width; but it
may be of any other desired area, as will
be readily understood. Beneath the bed
is arranged a longitudinal chamber 2,
in which is located a longitudinal heat-
conduit 3, extending from a horizontal
furnace or heater 4, and the latter is
located below and extends beyond one
end of the bed. In constructing the hot-
bed a trench is dug and is covered with
transversely arranged poles 5, which
support the hotbed 1,

The furnace or heater 4, which is pref-
erably cylindrical, is embedded in the
ground and is designed for burning
wood, but any other fuel may be em-
ployed. The furnace is provided with a
vertical cylindrical fuel-inlet 6, having
a removable top or cover 7 and extend-
ing above the surface of the ground. The
heat-conduit extends longitudinally from
and merges into the furnace or heater 4,

Air is admitted to the outer end of
the furnace by a substantially L-shaped
inlet-pipe 10, which extends from the
lower portion of the heater or furnace to
a point above the surface of the ground.
The air-inlet pipe is provided at its up-
per or outer end with means for controll-
ing the admission of air. This means
consists of a cap 11, having a tubular
portion 12 extending into the upper end
of the air-inlet pipe and provided with
an annular series of apertures 13, adapt-
ed to permit air to enter the pipe 10.
The size of the apertures may be con-
trolled by raising or lowering the cap 11,.
which telescopes into the air-inlet j»ipe.
The upwardly extending branch or por-
tion of the air-inlet pipe is supported by
a brace 14 of sheet metal or other suita-
ble material, which embraces the air-inlet
pipe and which has its terminals secured
to the outer end or head 15 of the fur-
nace or heater.

bottom of the chamber beneath the hot-
bed, is spaced from the latter and is ar-
ranged at an inclination, the distance
from the conduit to the hotbed gradually
decreasing as the distance from the fire
increases. The outer portion of the heat-
conduit is provided with lateral dis-
charge-openings 16, which permit the
heat to enter the space beneath the hot-
bed. By inclining the heat-conduit and
by providing the discharge apertures
or openings at the outer portion thereof
the plants located adjacent to the heater
or furnace are prevented from receiving
too much heat and those remote from the
heater or furnace are afforded a suffi-
cient amount of heat. The heat escaping
from the lateral outlets enters the cham-
ber or space and heats the air within.
This chamber or space tapers transversely
and extends close to the sides of the bed.
The conduit is connected at its upper or
outer end with an outlet or escape pipe
17, having a damper 18. By adjusting
the damper and the cap 11 the draft may
be controlled and the apparatus may be
supplied with fuel in the evening, and it
will not require attention until the next
morning.

PIPING FOR EXTRA HOUSE.

I have a house 20x28 feet and wish to
put up one 16x22 feet for carnations.
I have a steam boiler, rated at 350 feet
of radiation. Now, can I safely heat a
house of 16x22 feet? I want to grow car-
nations only in the house 16x22 feet and
must have enough heat to keep 45 de-
grees to 50 degrees in zero weather.
Please let me know how to pipe the
house 16x22 feet. Can I branch off of
the main flow? The main flow now is
2-inch. I can use 3-inch flow and di-
vide to two 2-inch. S. J. H.

The boiler you have should be large
enough to care for both houses. The
house 20x28 feet requires about 160

square feet of radiation and the house
20x22 feet should have about 110 square
feet of radiation. One 2-inch flow pipe
should be large enough for the two
houses.

A 1%-inch flow under the ridge of
the house 16x22 to the far end, return-
ing by fourteen 1-inch pipes distributed
under the benches, will provide the re-
quired radiation. If l^-inch pipes are
used for returns eleven lines of pipe will
be required. L. C. C.

SIZE OF BOILER.

Can I successfully heat a house 22x75
with hot water, using 2-inch or 2i/i-inch
flows and IVt-inch and liA-inch or 2-inch
returns? It has been suggested to me
to make the highest point in a hot-water
system next to the shedding and not at
the farthest end of house. Which is
best? What size horse-power boiler
would it require to heat three houses, two
33x120 feet and one house 22x175 feet,
hot-water to be used; temperature re-
quired, 50 degrees to 55 degrees in zero
weather? All the houses have two feet
of glass in the sides and are not con-
nected by gutters, each being separate.

H. H. G.

If your houses are so arranged that the
boiler plant can be located at the center
of the houses instead of at one end, the
long houses can be heated by hot-water.
If it is necessary to locate the boiler at
the end of the houses, I should not at-
tempt to heat them with hot-water on a
gravity system. The houses 120 feet long
could be successfully handled in this
way, but the house 175 feet long is too
long to successfully handle under a hot-
water system Avith the boiler at the end
of the "house. If the boiler can be lo-
cated at the center of the house the
length of the flow for the hot-water will
be within the 100-foot limit, which is
considered the safe limit. In any event

I should not attempt to use 1^-inch
radiating pipes. This is a good size for
steam, but it is the minimum size for
hot-water and should only be employed
in short coils, fifty feet or less.

The risers for the houses 120 feet long,
if the boiler is at one end, should be
3 I/O -inch for each house, returning by
seventeen 2-inch pipes in each house. The
floAv pipe in the 175-foot house should be
4-inch and the returns fourteen in num-
ber, if 2-inch pipe is u.sed. If the houses
are heated from a boiler located at the
center of the range, the same amount
of radiation will be required, but a
2 1,4 -inch riser will carry either end of
the houses 120 feet long, while a 3-inch
flow or riser will carry either end of the
houses 175 feet long and will give a
more uniform distribution of heat and
make the houses more dependable during
severe weather. In regard to the slope of
the flow pipe, use it either way you like,
my preference, however, is for the high
point at the far end of the system. Witb
an elevated expansion tank of ample
size either an uphill or a downhill syeteni
?an be made to work all right. L. C. C.

Station Grounds.

from what I hear, I'hilndelphi.'ins are
ipiite proud of the ornamental characti-r
of the Heading Railroad stations in their
vicdnity. It gives them something to
])oint to with satisfaction when strangers
are around, besides lieing pleasant to look
at for themselves. F'ersonally. it would
not be in good taste for me lo lalk
about tliat. but 1 may be pardoned for
saying that in my recent travels through
the south. I saw nothing in fiie same
line that I v\;inted to take my hat (df to.

I did see a tew v\onderful things,
however. One of them was the croton
hedges 111 I'lorida. Im.agiiie a lie<|ge of
this brilliant foliage jdant eight or ten
feet high and splendidly developed.
This was a revelation to me and really
a grand sight. The liiliiscus, single and
double, was in bloom during my visit
and w;is simply covered with tiumsands
of blooms. These latter were especially
line in the l-]nglisli colony in .Xassau.

Greenhouse Heating.

A HEATER FOR HOTBEDS.

The accompanying illustration is from
a drawing of the apparatus for heating
hotbeds, invented by Henry Austin, of
Felton, Del., and patented. The ob-
ject of the invention is to provide
a simjile, inexpensive and efficient
ajiparatus for supplying heat for hotliecLs
for starting ;uid forcing early vegetables
and to enable the draft to be controlled,
so that the apparatus may be safely left
without attention for a considerable
length of time. A further object is
to provide an apparatus in which a
comparatively small amount of fire
will eifectually heat large areas and
to jijdvide means for pre\enting the
jilants close to the lire from receiving
too much heat and those ri'iiiote from
the fire receiving too little heat.

The illustration shows a longitudinal
sectional view. No. 1 designates a hot-
bed designed in ]ir;utice to be' fifty feet
in lengfli and ten feet in width; but it
may be of any other desired ;irea, as will
be readily understood. IJeiiealli the bed
is .'riaiiged a longitudinal chamber 2,
in which is loi-aled a loiiyitudiual heat-
conduit 3, extending from a horizontal
furnace or heater -1, and the latter is
loca.ted lielow and extends beyond one
end of the bed. Ill constructing the hot-
bed a trench is dug .'iiid is covered with
transversely arriinge<l pules .3. which
su]iport the hotbed 1.

The furnace or heater 4, which is pref-
erablv cylindrical, is embedded in the-
ground and is designed for luirning
wood, but any other fuel may be em-
]iloyed. The furnace is jirovided with a
vertical < yliudric-il fuel-inlet (!, having
a removable fop or cover 7 and extend-
v,ing above the surface of the ground. The
heat-i-omluit extends longitudinally from
and merges into the furnace or heater 4.

Air is admitted to the outer end of
fhe furnace by a substantially 1. -shaped
inlet-pipe in, which extends from the
lower jiortion of the he.-iter or furnaco to
a point ;ibove the surface of the ground.
The air-inlet jupe is ]iroviileil at its up-
])('r or outer end \\ith means for controll-
ing the ailmission of air. This means
consists of a ciji 11. having a tubular
Jiortion I L' extending into the upper end
of the air-inlet pipe :iud jirovided with
an annular series of apertures 13, adapt-
ed to |>ermit air to cuter the jiipe 10.
The si/e of the .aperfuies nuiy be con-
trolled by raising or lowering the caj> 11.
which telescopes into the air-inlet idjie.
The upwardly extending branch or por-
tion of the air-inlet Jiipe is supported by
a brace 14 of sheet metal oi' other -iiita-
ble n;.iteri:il. \\hich embraces the air inlet
pipe ,iiid which has its fermin;ds .se.-ureU

GREEN LICE ON LETTUCE.

Wh^t is the best way to kill the green
lice on lettuce ^'rowing in greenhouses,
and where can the preparation be
bought.' 1 have used tobacco s.noke,
but don't like it. W. E. B.

Hydrocyanic acid gas is the cleanest
and surest insecticide we have tried for
this purpose. So much has been written
about this recently that no doubt you
will be alive to the danger of handling
it. It is a deatlly poison if inhaled, but
if one keeps this in mind and gets out of
the house immediately after the cyanide
is dropped in the jar, locking the door
after, there is no more danger with it
than with anything else. We use it at
the rate of one ounce of cyanide, one-fifth
of a quart of sulphuric acid and the
same quantity of water as of acid to
2,000 cubic feet of space in the house.
Tlie water and acid are first placed to-
gether in a stone jar, Avhich is put near
the center of the house ; then the cyanide
is dropped in and, as I said before, the
operator gets out as quickly as possible.
He will have plenty of time to get out
before the acid is spread sufficiently
tiirough the air in the house without any
danger of its catching him. Be sure and
lock the door, so that no one can acci-
dentally go into the house. We operate
the last thing at night and by morning
the house can safely be entered.

If the house is over fifty feet long,
the gas will be more evenly distributed
by using two jars. In a house 100 feet
long we would set the jars twenty-five
feet from each end and drop the cyanide
in the one farthest from the door first,
dropping it in the other in passing out.
Both jars should be made ready by hav-
ing the acid and water in them when
they are placed in position and nothing
left to do but drop the cyanide in. You
can procure the cyanide of potassium and
sulphuric acid at any drug store. The
acid need not be what is known as chem-
cially pure, what is known as the com-
mercial quality being just as good for
the purpose in hand. We have used noth-
ing else in the way of insecticides for
the last three years, and used at this
rate, have never had the lettuce hurt in
the least. Of course, a good deal will
dei>end on the closeness of your house.
If this is in any way open, a stronger
solution would be necessary, but try it
at this rate first and if it does not do
the work try it a litle stronger next time.

The Market

Last week was a trying one for the
market and in addition to the influence
of Lent, the culmination was a fierce
storm that completely spoiled the Satur-
day business. This was followed by a
veritable spring day, with warmth and
sunshine, to be followed Monday with
temperature below freezing. Memories
of the blizzard of March 12, 1888, are
still vivid. Nobody seems to be banking
on a very early spring, though signs
of it are many.

Beauties are still scarce and the best
command a good figure, some holding at
60 cents. But the tendency is downward.
Brides and Maids barely hold at 10
cents for the finest and lower grades are
retrograding fast. Carnations have lost
twenty-five per cent and have gone as
low as they are likely to before Easter.
Novelties hold their own fairly well.

Owing to bad weather and immense
shipments, violets were a drug on Satur-
day and the surplus fell as low as 15
cents a hundred. The top price is 50

Here is a dollar for another year's
visits of

It is well worth the price, even to
those who only work for others.
It has been a true friend that visited
my home every Saturday. I congrat-
ulate every young man when The
Review finds its way to his home.

cents. An average of 120 boxes daily in-
dicates the great supply the market is
called upon to receive. Bulbous stock is
enormous in quantity and a lot of it
from the south is now arriving.

Orchids are growing scarce and will
be so from now on.

Various Notes.

Fern balls seem not yet to have gone
out of fashion. In the seed stores they
retail at 50 cents. In the department
stores the same stock apparently is
boomed at 25 cents. One of the most
successful departments in these big stores
is managed by Trefel, of Losier's,
Brooklyn. He often handles 25,000 vio-
lets in a day, and carnations and narcissi
in great abundance. Popular prices and
jiulicious advertising are the secrets of
his success.

Eobert G. Wilson, of Brooklyn, will
open a wholesale and retail store on West
Thirtieth street, next door to McManus,
\'ith Arthur Dicre as manager. Mr. Wil-
son is a young man of great ambition
and energy and will succeed.

The auctions begin at Elliott's Tues-
day, when he will offer hardy roses and

shrubs, his first importation of the sea-
son. Every Tuesday and Friday the auc-
tions will continue until June. A week
later Cleary's Horticultuial Hall opens
with a sale of hardy stock.

Harry Bunyard is back from the gold-
en west with his belt laden with many
scalps.

H. H. Berger & Co. announce the
heaviest early demand in their quarter
century in the seed trade,

A. J. Fellouris has leased the entire
building, 52 W. Twenty-eighth street,
next door to A. L. Young & Co., and
will open a branch of his business there
next month. He is tireless and attentive
to his business and deserves prosperity.
Improvements of the place are in prog-
ress. It is a good stand.

Wm. Starke has leased the entire
building at 52 W. Twenty-ninth street
and will erect a conservatory.

The Hinode Co., at Whitestone, are
erecting several new houses this spring
and making rapid progress. They have a
great stock for Easter, much of it al-
ready spoken for.

C. Bonnet, of Bonnet & Blake, Brook-
lyn, has had a week's tussle with the
grip. His brother-in-law, John M. Lyons,
the rose grower of Madison, was stricken
last week with apoplexy and died the fol-
lowing day. Mrs. Blake and Mrs. Lyons
are sisters.

The sympathy of the trade everywhere
goes out to F. L. Moore and family, of
Chatham, in the loss of their eldest son,
Ralph C. Moore, 24 years of age, a stu-
dent at Columbia College, a fine Greek
scholar and a young man of splendid
character and ability. He Avas highly
esteemed by all who knew him and gave
promise of a brilliant career.

The veteran, Samuel Henshaw, was in
the city on Monday looking as young as
ever after his winter's hibernating and
overflowing with reminiscences. With
Julius Roehrs, Jr., and Wm. Plumb he
occupied the "amen corner" at Cleary's
and regaled his listeners with tales of
the potting shed that Jaggs would have
envied.

An immense horseshoe of Richmond
roses was shipped the first of the week
by Frank Millang to a big store in
Kalamazoo, Mich.

The next meeting of the Florists'
Club will take place Monday, March 12.
It is ladies' night and will include a
collation and musical entertainment. It
is orchid night and a feature will be
an illustrated lecture by Prof. Nash, of
Bronx park, and a competitive exhibition
by some of the best orchid growers of
the country. Ex-President Traendly will/
be back from the meeting of the execu-
tive committee at Dayton, with news
of the S. A. F. convention. The ques-
tion box will be opened and the young
folks will have an opportunity for danc-
ing. Altogether this should be the big-
gest meeting the club has had. At 4
p. m. the outing committee will meet at
Fenrich 's new store, where Joe will keep
open house.

A good many are talking Boston and
the Rose Society's convention. The at-,
tendance from New York will be larger
than at the carnation convention. Ar-
rangements are contemplated for a union
of all from this section and visitors from
the west to go via the Fall River line
the evening before. The fare is only
$2 from New York to Boston and the
steamers are palatial. The boat leaves
at 5 p. m., so that westerners can make
a note of this and arrange to arrive in
time. Those desiring to go in this way

may write or wire J. Austin Shaw at
1310 Forty-ninth street, Brooklyn, a few
days ahead and berths will be secured
for them,

C. W. Ward was unexpectedly called
west on Saturday and fears he will not
be home again for some little time.

On Monday, March 12, at Madison, the
Eegan property, including the green-
houses, rose stock and everything con-
nected with the business will be sold at
public auction.

Moore, Hentz & Nash were headquar-
ters early in the week for southern nar-
cissi. The flowers were excellent, but
the stems only half the length of the
local product. At the price, every re-
tailer in New York could have afforded
a spring window on Monday.

J. K. Allen is receiving fine sweet
peas from Zvolanek, of Bound Brook,
the white and pink varieties being most
in demand.

St. Patrick's day is near and natur-
ally the evergreen shamrock is assert-
ing itself in advance of the advent of the
green carnation. At Guttman's there is
an abundance of "the real thing" in
the window. Mr. Guttman has already
shipped over 150,000 cuttings of Victory
and the call for them continues daily.
He says the flowers hold firm at $6 to
$8 per luindred at wholesale.

BOSTON.

The Market

Lent came in as usual with a heavy
slump in prices. To make matters worse
the weather was severely cold and the
fakers were unable to relieve any of the
congestion. Conditions are now some-
what improved, but the market lacks
stability, and while one day flowers clean
out well, on the next day they are hard
to move. Koses are coming in more
plentifully. American Beauty shows a
great improvement in quality at former
prices, and the same is true of all other
roses. Chatenay, Wellesley and Killar-
ney are all showing up well and are
among the best" sellers.

Carnations are in heavy supply and
are lower all around. Enchantress is
more seen' than any other variety. Quite
a number are now coming pale in color,
however. Many growers still grow a lot
of Fair ^Maid and it holds its color well.
Violets are very abundant. A popular
price has been 300 for $1, although some
specials make up to 75 cents per hun-
dred.

Bulbous stock is too abundant and a
good deal of it is cleared at low figures.
Emperor narcissus is less popular than
Golden Spur. A good deal of Princeps
is still grown, as it can be sold profit-
ably at a low figure. Some very good
antirrhinum, mignonette, anemones and
other miscellaneous stock is seen. Lili-
ums and callas continue very plentiful
and there is no scarcity of green stock.

Various Notes.

' ' Tender flowers ' ' was the subject at
Horticultural hall on March 3. The dis-
cussion was opened by W. N. Craig, who
spoke on a variety of desirable annuals
for cut flowers and decorative effects.
He was followed by Duncan Finlayson,
A. H. Fewkes, H. Chapman, E. B.
Wilder, James Wheeler, J. W. Manning,
Robert Cameron, Charles Sander and
others.

The lecturer at the next meeting of
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club will be

Store of S. S. Pennock, Philadelphia, Showing New Additioxu

David Iiun;sdcn. His subject will be
"Plants and bulbs most in demand for
the Easter trade." The date of the
meeting Mill be March 20. It had been
hoped that Alex. Montgomery, Jr., would
speak on roses, but he is unable to do so
and no other roaarian could be found
to step into the breach.

Oscar L. Orr, of Sharon Heights, is
one of the largest and most successful
violet growers for the Boston market.
He has two houses 25x330 devoted to
them, nothing but Campbell being grown.
These are on solid beds and in the pink
of condition. The flowers are sold at
the Park street market. Two houses
30x330 are devoted to cucumbers, and
one 30x700, the latter being one of the
largest of its kind in New England.
Ground has been broken and material
bought for an additional cucumber house
32x700. White Spine is exclusively
grown and the produce is shipped to
both New York and Boston, ^tr. Orr
also owns and manages a large truck
farm. The greenhouses are heated by
steam and wood is entirely u.sed as fuel,
there being an abundant supply on a
near-by estate.

An unusually fine spring exhibition of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
is expected in connection with the coming
meeting of the American Kose Society.
It will pay all prominent rose growers
to be on hand for this exhibition and we
hope exhibits will come from a wider
area than ever before.

A good deal of Easter talk is now-
heard. Lilies appear to be an unusually
clean lot and it looks as though there
would be an adequate supply. It will
be more and more a plant Easter and
numerous growers are bending their en-

ergies to satisfy the increasing demand
in this line.

Hamlio & Solomon, who have for some
time been managing a flower store in
Houghton & Dutton's, have dissolved
partnership.

Quite a few bulb travelers are now
making their rounds. We met the past
week Charles Schwake, with C. F, Meyer
New York, and A. Kingier, with W w'
Barnard Co., Chicago.

E. Sutermeister is as usual handling
quantities of extra fine hyacinths, tulips
:uid narcissi in pans, in which he is one
of our leading specialists.

J. S. .Manter is handling fine Chatenay
roses at Park street market for Exeter
Kose Conservatories, Exeter, N. H.

John McFarland is again first in the
market with hybrid roses, Brunner be-
ing his specialty. His valley is also
ot very good quality.

The wet weather *on March 3 did not
pr.'veut a large delegation from the
Aon- England .Market Gardeners' Asso-
ciation visiting the establishment of W
W. l^•nvson, of Arlington.

A II. Hews & Co. report spring trade
in flower pots and pans as unprece-
•tcnfcdly good. So great is the rush of
oKlcrs that they have been obliged to call
in all their agents who were on the
road. Business from southern states is
very good. They are considering plans
tor further increasing their output.

I SHOULD not want to get along with-
out the Review, as 1 find a great many
things in it that are a great help. I
think it an excellent paper for all flo-
rists.—F. W. Rice, Rutland. Vt.

It is therefore- earnestly requested
that all advertisers mail their ''copy"

Chattanooga, Tenn. — R. W. Zobel has
sold his place at East End and McCallie
avenues for building lots and will move
away.

Denver, Colo. — Maler & Dankworth
are growing very good violets, but are
endeavoring to still further improve
their stock.

Oxford, Mich. — A building 30x40 feet
is to be added to the Oxford Green-
houses this spring and will be used as a
palm room, show room and office.

Concord, N. H. — E. H. Whitney says
that the grass-growing heads, sometimes
referred to as Uncle Theodore, have made
quite a hit.

Winnipeg, Man. — The movement to
have the anemone adopted as Manitoba's
floral emblem has been again revived by
the presentation to the legislature of a
memorial on the subject by the Natural
History Society.

Geoton, Mass. — S. H. Shattuck says
he had considerable trouble with moles
eating the tips -of the fronds on Aspara-
gus plumosus, but that rat bis-kit left at
the base of the plants caused them to
give him no further trouble save that of
collecting the dead moles.

Newcomerstown, O. — J. W. Nico-
demus has a white carnation that he has
not been able to identify. The plant
appeared in a bench of Lawson and won
his solicitude by the fact that the flow-
ers were not only large but nineteen buds
were in sight at one time.

Kalamazoo, Mich. — Fisher & Eock-
lin is the style of a new firm which has
established a place in the Boudeman
block on South street. The members of
the firm have each had a number of
years' experience in Chicago among
wholesalers and retailers. They will con-
duct a general business.

St. Cloud, Minn. — Paul Trzewik,
formerly florist at Lakewood cemetery,
Minneapolis, Minn., has purchased thirty
acres of land across the road from Cal-
vary cemetery, for $1,950. He will be-
gin construction of his houses as soon
as weather permits. He plans to supply
flowers for grave decoration and for city
trade.

Rhinebeck, N. Y. — There are ap-
proximately 100 establishments growing
violets here. Ackert & Brown, who are
themselves violet growers as well as con-
tractors and builders, report that they
have a number of orders booked for new
places to be started in the spring, as well
as several extensive additions to existing
places.

Aurora, III. — The Aurora Greenhouse
Co. is advertising a warning to its
patrons to the effect that a Chicago
* ' cold storage concern, ' ' by using a simi-
lar name, has endeavored to mislead the
customers of the former company. The
Aurora company announces that it has
no interest in the flower stand on
Downer place. This company has five
greenhouses and J. H. Newhall is man-
ager.

Durham, N. C. — Fred'EoU says busi-
ness has been all right so far, but he,
too, is living in a 30-cent town and the
people expect from a florist almost any-
thing from cabbage seed to a bridal
bouquet. He has 4,000 square feet of
glass and grows^ mostly carnations, Cru-
sader, Flamingo and Eetelle for red;
Indianapolis and Lawson for dark pink.
Lord and Enchantress for light, Wolcott,
White Lawson and White Cloud for
white. He would grow more of a good
white one, but has first to try for one
that will do well.

Edwardsville, III. — J. T. Ammann
has leased the Barnett building on St.
Louis street and will establish a city
retail department, stock being supplied
daily from his greenhouses. He wiU
open about March 15.

Orion, Mich. — Preparations are being
made to improve the Orion Greenhouse
by the addition of several more houses,
bringing the total up to fifteen houses.
A large wholesale business is conducted
with roses and carnations as specialties.

New Castle, Ind. — Ivan Margason, a
grower for the South Park Floral Co.,
was highly indignant when arrested re-
cently charged with being drunk. He
proved that he had had only one bottle
of beer and considered the charge a re-
flection on his capabilities. The justice
discharged him.

Shippensburg, Pa. — The Byer Floral
Co. has changed its name to The Ship-
pensburg Floral Co. The change was
deemed advisable as mail intended for
this company was often misdirected to
Byer Bros, in Chambersburg, Pa., and
vice versa. There is no change in the
personnel of the company.

Ft. Wayne, Ind. — Mrs. Anger had a
fine vase of the new rose Miss Kate
Moulton on exhibition in her store win-
dow and it was much admired by aU
local florists. The trade thinks very
highly of it. The Glendale carnation,
grown by W. J. & M. S. Vesey, has
proven itself an excellent keeper and
shipper.

Butte, Mont. — ^Victor Siegel, chief
gardener at the Columbia Gardens, and
Wm. Cockayne, the florist, have been
trying their hands at raising seedling
carnations and have a white, as a result
of a cross of Enchantress and Higin-
botham, which they think has a com-
mercial future. It has been named for
the daughter of the manager of the
Gardens and street railroad, Miss Jessie
Wharton.

Fremont, Nebr. — C. H. Green has
been cutting much good stock, but the
demand ha's been a little more than equal
to the supply. Prices are satisfactory.
He is planning to build some new houses
this summer and put in a larger boiler.
He has at present 16,000 square feet of
glass, in bedding stock and cut flowers,
also 200 sash and seventeen acres in
truck and small fruit. Everything
points to a big season 's business.

Cadillac, Mich. — D. Kleinhans, of the
firm of Kleinhans & Mason, has sold his
interest to Henry^ S. Mason, of Ithaca,
Mich, father of the junior member of
the firm. R. A. Mason, associated with
his father, will continue the business
which has grown rapidly since it was
first established two years ago. The
new firm expects to enlarge the plant the
coming season and to otherwise make im-
provements. The firm name will be K. A.
Mason & Co. Mr. Kleinhans has located
in St. Louis, Mich., and is making prepa-
rations to erect about 4,000 square feet
of glass this year with necessary addi-
tions as the trade demands. He will<
grow a general stock.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

The market has not recovered from the
depression which by a few days preceded
the advent of Lent. The local trade is
fairly active by comparison with recent
weeks, but shipping demand has been
light in the past seven days. At the
same time supplies of stock are not so
large but that a little spurt in business
would serve to clean up the market. As
it is, the receipt of a few good shipping
orders serves to take all the stock usually
on hand in the fortunate house.

There are larger supplies of Beauties
and also of Brides and Maids and, prices
on these items are a notch lower than
they were in the past fortnight. Bed
roses are also slightly more abundant.
There is considerable call for the shorter
stemmed stock, but the heads must be
good.

The receipts of carnations have not in-
creased materially but stocks on hand
are much larger because of light de-
mand. The result has been that last
week some very low prices were taken
for large lots and the same condition
promises to prevail later in this week.
Most of the wholesalers are carrying
carnations over each night. It is sel-
dom that the market has had better
stock than at present. Nearly all the
carnation growers are cutting fine flow-
ers. Here and there complaint is heard
as to a lack of keeping qualities.

No flower has felt the weakening ef-
fect of present market conditions so'
greatly as has the violet. If the Hudson
river growers are realizing less in New
York than they are in Chicago at pres-

ent, the incentive to build new houses
will not be great. It was no uncommon
thing in the past week to have very fair
Hudson river violets sell at 10 cents per
bunch of fifty, $2 per thousand, and
many sales must have been made for
less, as a number of Greeks were offering
violets at retail at that price or little
more. At the same time the really fancy
stock brought much better figures, 75
cents per hundred being about the top.
The fragrant, home-grown singles have
made better averages than the imported
stock. "

Practically all bulbous stock is in over-
supply. Easter lilies still hold their own
fairly well, but the demand is light and
supplies ample. Callas are abundant
and promise to shortly become a glut.
There are large quantities of tulips and
only the best bring fair prices. White
tulips, if cheap enough, are taken for
funeral use. Poor tulips in colors do
not sell for much. Some fine Dutch hy-
acinths are seen, but very few Romans
and Paper Whites are not so abundant.
Freesia is practically out of the market.

The green goods market is suffering a
slight relapse. These is complaint that
ferns coming from cold storage require
much picking over. There are large
quantities on hand and the dealers are
anxious to move them.

Insult to Injury.

A story widely circulated last week
was to the effect that Fred Kaeding was
charged with stealing $580 from the
trunk of an employee at Poehlmann's.
The fact was that the money was stolen
from Mr. Kaeding and that for the
theft Andrew Miller has been indicted

by the grand jury. Mr. Kaeding re-
covered $531 of his savings and paid $49
reward to the officers who got it for him.
It is certainly rank injustice to report
a man as stealing his own money. Mr.
Kaeding is a good grower and value<f
employee at Poehlmannville.

Various Notes.

The perennial debate in the market
culminated Tuesday in the interest^
parties taking the familiar advice {«
* ' hire a hall. ' ' About two dozen retail-
ers and wholesalers got together at Han-
del hall and the free expression of opin-
ion doubtless did much to correct the
many abuses in the business.

The Florists' Club's annual carna^
tion show is on today at room 531 Atlac
block. This evening the club will meet
as usual in Handel ball. There are a
number of applications for membership
to be acted upon and a general discns-
sion of carnations is announced.

It is stated that Ernst Kramer and a
partner will build seven houses each 310
feet long at Wilmette, presumably for
vegetables.

The George Wittbold Co. believes ia
making full use of its space. At the
city establishment the houses occupied
by palms have been filled with Boston
ferns hanging from the sash bars. There
are seventeen rows of plants in most of
the houses and the additional weight is
something like four tons on each root
Three crops a year can be grown in this
manner.

pathy of her many friends in the loss of
her eight months' old son, Paul, whe

was only the reflection of a falling off in
the retail business done for Mardi Gras.
He reports that Harry Papworth's new

have not yet been able to get the stem.
F. P. Davis, of Mobile, is sending to
New Orleans as good roses as can be
grown anywhere.

A. L. Randall and Mrs. Randall went
to West Baden Tuesday.

Wietor Bros, report that the past
month was the best February in the his-
torj' of their concern.

Phil Schupp, of Budlong's, says that
there is a good demand for carnation
plants from soil for early delivery.

August Poehlmann says that the busi-
ness Of the Poehlmann Bros. Co. for the
last half of 1905 was very much better
than any previous period, the summer

months being more than double what
they had ever been before. Since Janu-
ary 1 he says the business has just about
been holding its own, but it must be
taken into consideration that they are
not this year doing the cutting business
as formerly because they need the stock
for planting their own new range of
over a quarter of a million feet of glass.
Mr. Poehlmann says that it is indis-
putable that cuts this year are not as
heavy as usual. He attributes the de-
ficiency in carnations to the overdose of
water in the wet summer of last year.

In this column last week it was stated
that "the A. L. Randall Co. is handling
apple blossoms and bridal wreath spiraea
from Emil Buettner." They had the
goods, all right, but it happens that the
bridal wreath was grown by J. F. Klim-
mer instead of Mr. Buettner.

month and where the Retail Florists'
Association meets on the fourth Thurs-
day. The building is already partly oc-
cupied by the Field business. Eventu-

Emil Buettner has a deep pink sport
of Enchantress of which he has suffi-
cient stock so that the cut flowers are
being marketed. The center of the
flower is a rich pink, the edges of the

petals retaining the Enchantress color.
It makes a very attractive combination.

PHILADELPHIA,

The Market.

Prices have a downward tendency, the
quantity of flowers thLs week being much
larger than last, while business is lighter.
Beauties are still far from plentiful,
prices having weakened but little on
really good stock. The other strong items
on the list are sweet peas (S. S. Pen-
nock's fancy colors continue to lead the
market, while the general average of
quality is high) and orchids, the Leo
Niessen Co. having some exquisite pink
and white sprays, greatly prized for
choice work. White flowers have been
in demand on several days, ordinary car-
nations and short-stemmed Bride roses
realizing good prices. Fancy carnations

have been in oversupply, but they are
so good that most of them can be sold
at fair prices. The greatest decline has
been in bulbous stock, the arrival of
southern daffodils causing a break in
the price of greenhouse-grown flowers.

Qub Meeting.

It was rose night at the Florists' Club
Tuesday evening, March 6. The western
belle, Miss Kate Moulton, left Minne-
apolis Saturday, arriving here Tuesday.
The rose growers came to welcome her.
Glendale and J. E. Haines carnations
were also present, from W. J. & M, 8.
Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind.. and John
Haines, Bethlehem, Pa. After the read-
ing of Paul Huebner's paper on railroad
gardening, Antoiue Wintzer spoke inter-
estingly on cannas. P. Joseph Lyncli
made a brilliant plea for the American
rose, asking for it the support of every
rose grov.er. The attendance was large.

A New Department.

It is generally known that the great
establishment of the Henry A. Dreer
Co., at Biverton, X. J., is divided into
a half dozen or more departments. The
palm foreman struggles with the fern
foreman to secure some much coveted
space in the latter 's houses needed for
shifting young kentias, while the man
in charge of the soft -wooded stock makes
an earnest plea for a few benches needed
by the man who grows the perennials. It
requires ^no small diplomacy to settle
these matters, and in future even more
diplomacy will be required, for a new
department has been added at River-
ton. Two large greenhouses were finished

on January 9 (I wonder whether you'll
find this anywhere else). One is now
full of dahlias, nicely started, with cut-
tings in a condition to tempt the propa-
gator's knife. The other has been tem-
porarily claimed by the fern man for a
few hundred thousand of his seedlings,
but its ultimate purpose is the propaga-
tion of dahlias and for this purpose it
will soon be devoted,

A farm of seventy acres has been pur-
chased halfway between Riverton and
Moorestown. The soil is heavier than at
Riverton. This farm will be devoted to
the growing of dahlias and perennials,
80 that in future the Dreer nurseries will
grow their own dahlias entirely, instead
ef drawing on other sources for their
dahlia roots.

Among the many other things of in-
terest pointed out by Geo. A. Strohlein
in an afternoon's ramble were Nephro-
lepis Whitmanii. The original plant has
improved greatly in appearance. There
was a batch of young plants of this
▼ariety being prepared for a European
trip next month. Cocos Weddelliana is
being grown in larger quantities. One
long bench will be reserved for speci-
men plants in 4-inch to 6-inch pots. This
palm makes beautiful specimens in me-
dium sizes, for which, it is believed, a
«lemand can be created.

A range of twelve houses, perhaps
2t)x200 each, entirely filled with some-
thing like 100,000 hardy roses, double
decked, all correctly labeled and ready
for the opening of spring, was a sight.

In the houses devoted to miscellaneous

plants, a myrtle-leaved smilax was very
beautiful. Two large flowered varieties
of ageratum. Princess Pauline, blue with
white center, and a soft blue, called, I
think, Incomparable, were pleasing. This
collection embraces nearly all of the
best greenhouse and bedding plants in
general cultivation, the newer varieties
of merit being grown instead of old
favorites; for instance, in geraniums, the
sensational scalloped variety, Telegraph,
The packing shed at Riverton has been
doubled in size, to give needed room
during the rush which is already begin-
ning, A neat, labor-saving device is a
label rack, each compartment being filled
with neatly printed labels of each va-
riety of plant to be sent out. The del-
phiniums, dahlias and other plants so
much sought after in sets by the Ameri-
can flower loving public were especially
prominent.

The Source of Supply.

Everybody wants to know where the
Leo Niessen Co, obtained its Beauties
during February, when Beauties were al-
most unobtainable. Nearly all the big
guns were off crop, growers who had
been depended upon for Beauties in
midwinter, and whose success had made
Philadelphia Beauties famous over the
entire Atlantic seaboard. This February
not one of these growers could boast
enough stock to count for anything in
the market. It was even said that the
large growers were content to divide
Beauties in less than dozen lots among
their customers, incredible as it may

I

seem that a grower of from 5,000 to
10,000 plants could have to dole out his
specials in threes and sixes. During all
this time the aforesaid L. N. Co. was
accepting orders for fifties, hundreds and
in one case, as mentioned in the Re-
view, for 500 fancy Beauties. So Phil
was sent out to Wyndmoor to see the
plants that had done so much to make
this result possible.

Geo. Burton has worked very hard this
winter. He has worked to some pur-
pose. Not only was Christmas profitable
with him, but he had a good January
and a February that so far exceeded that
of 1905 and of 1904 that I hardly like
to give the figures, lest even Phil's word
would be doubted. The place of perhaps
40,000 feet of glass is a Beauty place
par excellence; about three-quarters of
the space is devoted to this grand rose,
the remaining quarter being divided be-
tween Meteor, which will be discarded
this year, through no fault of the rose or
its productiveness; Golden Gate, which
will be continued, and Uncle John, a
pretty sport from Gate rarely seen near
this city.

The Beauties are grown both in
ground beds and in benches and are re-
markably vigorous, there being little
blind wood and many heavy shoots. Mr.
Burton believes that the six weeks of
Lent will mark his lightest cut since No-
vember, but even so, his cut will not be
so very light. The stock of coal for next
season has been secured. A piece of
forethought makes Mr. Burton independ-
ent of coal strikes.

DAYTON, OHIO.

Death of Fred'k W. Ritter.

On the evening of March 1 Dayton
lost her oldest florist in the death of
Frederick W. Ritter, father of H. H.
Ritter. Mr. Ritter was 93 years of age
and for eighty years was a practical
florist. For the past half century he
lived in Dayton. Death was the result
of injuries suffered February 23, in a
fall down stairs. It was thought at first
he would recover, but the shock to his
nervous system was too great for the old
gentleman to bear. He made his home
with his son, H. H. Ritter, and it was
here that the accident occurred. His
death marks the passing away of another
of Dayton's substantial German pioneers
who came here in the early history of
the city and assisted in building it to
its present metropolitan proportions.

Mr. Ritter was born in Leipsic, Ger-
many, on July 13, 1813, and in July next
would have been 93 years of age. Up
to a recent period Mr. Ritter was pos-
sessed of robust health, and barring
accident, promised to reach the century
mark. He came to Dayton August, 1852,
and for fifty years past had resided on
(J rand avenue. He was continuously in
the florist business for eighty years, a
remarkable business record, and one sel-
dom attained in any line of trade or
profession.

Mr. Ritter 's wife died twenty-eight
years ago. He is survived by four chil-

BUFFALO.

Meeting and Exhibition.

The meeting of the Florists' Club,
February 27, was largely attended and
very interesting, the carnation show
bringing the members from far and near.
It was the largest attendance in the
history of the club and every one was
jubilant. There was only one change
made in the election of officers and that
was for vice-president, consequently there
was no time lost in balloting. The offi-
cers for the next year are as follows:
President, L. H. Neubeck; vice-presi-
dent, H. Wise; secretary, Wm. J.
Peake; treasurer, Chas. H. Keitsch;
financial secretary, E. Brucker; trus-
tees, Wm. Scott, W. F. Kasting and
Prof. Cowell.

The carnation show was a decided
success. The committee, Wm. Scott, W.
F. Kasting and Chas. H. Keitsch, had
done good work, as it eclipsed anything
the club ever attempted.

Of new varieties staged by F. E. Pier-
son Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., Winsor scored
92 points; Helen Gould, 80. John E.
Haines, shown by J. E. Haines, Bethle-
hem, Pa., scored 89. My Maryland,
staged by Weber & Sons Co., Oakland,
Md., scored 88 ; Jessica, 92 points. Pink
Lawson, from Palmer & Son, Lancaster,
N. Y., scored 81 points. Gleudale, from
W. J. & M. S. Yesey, Fort Wayne, Ind.,
scored 87 points. New sorts from Chi-
cago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111., scored
as follows: J. A. Valentine, 84; Sky
Kocket, 86; Imperial, 88; Seedling No.
49, 84 points.

there have been incessant calls on the
good nature of the seedling raisers. We
missed the brilliant scarlet Eobert Craig,
the aristocratic Aristocrat and gold
medal winner, Elsa Struss.

The opinion of all present was that
the best thing in the show was Winsor.
It seems about ideal in its color and
there is room for it. People are get-
ting a little tired of the Lawson shade.
John E. Haines made a good show and
so did My Maryland. Helen Gould did
not score high. Its color is off and we
have locally a better sport of Enchan-
tress.

From the Veseys, of Fort Wayne, came
a fine vase of Glendale, a very fine varie-
gated flower. From Kichard Witter-
staetter arrived a fine lot, among them
J. A. Valentine. Mr. Hartshorne did
nobly and sent fine vases of nearly a
dozen leading varieties.

Local growers added considerably, with
fine flowers. W. J. Palmer & Son ex-
hibited a nice lot of a pleasing shade
of Lawson sport. It is as near as possi-

being a Lawson will be sure to make it
popular. If Barney Meyers, Mr. Pal-
mer's superintendent, can assure us that
it is as free and healthy as his Bed
Lawson he has struck it rich. Wm.
Ehraann, of Corfu, sent Cardinal in
fine shape and many other standard va-
rieties. David Scott, of Corfu, put up
a vase consisting of a half dozen leading
varieties, among them flowers of En-
chantress the best in the hall, also some
superb mignonette. Charles Guenther
staged good Gov. Wolcott, so some peo-
ple can grow this variety. White Bros.,
of Gasport, sent several vases of fine
flowers.

We were treated to a sight of several
new varieties of winter flowering sweet

peas, from Mr. Zvolanek, among them a
fine lavender and, last, but by no means
least, the Wellesley rose, from the Wa-
ban Conservatory, and Kate Moulton,
from the Minneapolis Floral Co. Both
these roses were finely packed, made a
grand show and were greatly admired.

A pleasing change was a group of
finely grown cyclamens, from Geo. Ur-
ban, Theodore Vennemann, gardener.
They were all good and well grown, but
a pure white variety was of extraordi-
nary merit.

After an intermission of two hours we
.•assembled again at the German Ameri-
ran hall, where Louis H, Neubeck at the
head of the table and about fifty mem-
bers and visitors listened to the more or
less windy effusion that followed. Then
came cigars and coffee. It was generally
complained that the supper room was
cold, but ]Mr. Urban provided an effec-
tual antidote for the chills w'hich it was
no great effort to reach. We were much
gratified to sec so many visitors from
surrounding towns. W. S.

The Market

Trade among the retailers the past
week was first-class. Now that Lent
has sot in, no doubt business will drop
off somewhat with the up-town florists,
as there will be no more large weddings
and receptions to furnish for awhile.
With the down-town florists Lent hardly
makes much difference, as the counter
trade and funeral work will keep on just
the same. The wholesalers have en-
joyed a splendid shipping trade up to
last week, but this, too, has fallen off
now.

Stock is coming in more plentifully
each day and the wholesalers fear a big

glut in the next ten days. It has already
begun in the case of carnations. Extra
fine stock is down to $2 per hundred
and $10 buys a thousand good carnations
in all varieties. Stock from Kirkwood
and Clayton is as good as any that comes
to this market.

Eoses have been off crop for some
time, but from now on the market will
have plenty. Bulbous stock, too, is be-
coming a glut. Only Dutch hyacinths
of the lighter shades and fancy tulips
are selling well. Romans, valley, Paper
Whites, daffodils and freesias are too
many for the demand. Callas and Har-
risii sell well.

Violets are not any too many just now
and the growers say that by Easter they
will be very scarce. .Toe Hauser, of
Webster Groves, is sending in a fine lot
to Berning.

Asparagus is in demand. Smilax is
selling slowly. Common ferns were very
scarce the past week, all wholesale houses
being out of them at the same time.

Paul Berkowitz and liis charming wife,
of Philadelphia, were visitors on Satur-
day, calling on the trade.

James Hartshorne, manager of the
Chicago Carnation Co., has rarely won a
trophy which has given him so much
pleasure as capturing the challenge cup
of the Toronto Gardeners' and Florists'
Club for the third successive year. It
was previously won by Fiancee and this
year by Aristocrat. The addition of
this trophy to the Chicago Carnation
Co. 's collection pleases them particularly
because they were not able to make a
selection of flowers for exhibition. It
took all the blooms they could cut to
make up the required number. Young
stock of Aristocrat is arriving in very
nice shape and with a favorable grow-
ing season the variety 'will be ready for
the inspection of the trade early in the
fall.

All the stock is looking well and a
good cut is being made. A great va-
riety of business is now being done at
this establishment. Of course the bulk
of the business is in shipping cut flowers
direct from the greenhouses, but a con-
siderable quantity of stock is marketed
each day at the company's stand with
the E. F. Winterson Co., 45 Wabash
avenue, Chicago. In addition there is

the local retail store and the outlet for
the small proportion of stock which does
not grade up to the first class. The
roses are showing as well as the carna-
tions and in addition to the wholesale
and retail trade in cut flowers there is
a large business in carnation cuttings
and rose plants, which are shipped all
over the country.

The Market

Another touch of winter visited us
during the past week, but the weather
is moderating again and it is a ques-
tion whether we will have any more
cold weather this year. This winter
has been a mild one, but still there is
very little difference noted in the
amount of coal used. The expense has
been about the same.

Business has been moving along in a
quiet sort of way. The Lenten season
has made itself felt. This is always
noticeable at the beginning of Lent, but
after a couple of weeks pass by trade
begins to pick up.

The supply of stock is on the in-
crease in all lines except roses and green
goods. Roses have been scarcely equal
to the demand. White ones are especially
short in supply and a good many orders
cannot be filled. Pink ones are about
equal to the demand. American Beauties
are in fairly good demand, with prices
holding out firmly. Chatenay is having
a good run and some fine stock is seen.

Red roses other than Beauty are scarce
and have been so all of this season.
There is a good demand for them, but
the supply is never equal to it.

The supply of carnations was heavy
during the past week and a good many
more were received than were sold.
Some very good stock found its way to
the dump. The keeping qualities were
none of the best. The blooms seeined
to be soft and, if they were not sold
the first day, they had to be consigned
to the dump. Some very good stock met
its fate that way.

Bulbous stock is doing first-class now.
Good Harrisii lilies are selling well.
Callas are also going nicely. Valley,
Romans, narcissus, tulips and Dutch
hyacinths are all sharing in the demand.
Some good freesia is to be had, but it
sells very poorly and does not pay in
this market. Smilax is scarce and other
green goods are none too plentiful.

The Market

The cut flower business was at its
best the first of the week and the closing
days of the season were all that could
be expected, but with the first day of
Lent the change was noticeable and
prices commenced to decline slightly.
However, the last few years the Lenten
season has not been the great bugaboo
which it was in former years; in fact,
the last two years, there were more
flowers used, only at cheaper prices, than
immediately before Lent. Stock of all
kinds is becoming more plentiful every
day and we must expect that values will
decline.

Variotis Notes.

Geo, A. McWilliams, of Natrona, lias
bought a farm of seventy-five acres, all
underlaid with coal, back of Tarentum.
He expects to put up a range of houses
this summer for growing cut flowers.
The great number of mills and manu-
factories which are coming into his
vicinity are making too much smoke to
grow cut flowers.

The beginning of Lent does not seem
to bother Blind Bros., as they worked
day and night on funeral work during
the last of the week.

Miss Agnes L. Wells, of Steubenville,
Ohio, sailed Monday with a party of
friends for a six months' trip through
Europe.

E. C. Ludwig's stand in the Alle-
gheny Market is a thing of beauty these
days. Ernest makes a great show and
has everything that is in the market in
sight.

W. D. Faulk, of McKees Eocks, would
like to dispose of his McKees Eocks
store, as his other business is now taking
all his time.

H. Glenn Flemming, of Fairmont,

W. Va., has a novel feature in connec-
tion with his place. He has a range of
eight greenhouses and directly under the
greenhouses is a coal mine, the entrance
to which is from the boiler rooms. His
night man digs the coal and hauls it out
during the night. He also has a car
arranged to hold the vases of flowers
which are loaded on the car and run
into the mine instead of into a re-
frigerator, and claims he can keep
stock, when necessary, twice as long as
in refrigerators and have it in much
better condition.

PRICE OF GLASS.

On March o the American Window
Glass Co., wliidi is the largest single
factor in the glass trade, announced a
raise practically of five per cent in
prices. Many similar manufacturers fol-
lowed the lead of the American and, as
the American management shows signs
of believing that the situation is more
or less in its own hands, a further ad-
vance mfiy be anticipated.

LOOKS LIKE S. A. NUTT.

"We mail you under separate cover a
branch of geranium with blossom and
would regard it as a favor if you will
tell us what it is. It is a short, bushy
plant and is very similar to Mme. Bar-
ney in habits and growth. P. G.

The foliage of the geranium was much
shriveled up when received, and the
flower was not enough developed to be
■certain about the variety. It looks very
like the well-known S. A. Nutt, about
the best dark scarlet geranium we have.
That is the best guess I can make today.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOaATION.

Pres., W. H. Grenell, Sa^nsw, W. S., Mien.;
First Vlce-PreB., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and
Treas., C. B. Eendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual
meetlnK will he held at Toledo, G., June 26-28, 1906.

Sweet peas are looking up, according
to reports, and prospective buyers are
advised to adjust their glasses to a high-
er angle.

Frank T, Emerson, formerly manager
of the Western Seed and Irrigation Co.,
Fremont, Neb., is wintering at San
Diego, Cal.

The executive body of tlie Society of
American Florists, in session at Dayton,
O., March 5, raised its voice in opposi-
tion to free seeds.

If the corn growers cannot get enough
field corn dried out before long, nervous
prostration will attack some of those who
are waiting for a supply.

Clover seed was firm at Toledo at the
opening this week. Cash $8.27, March
$8.27, April $8.20, October $6.25. Prime
alsike $8.15. Prime timothy $1.60.

Sutton & Sons, Beading, England,
are shipping seeds to the tropics packed
in retail quantities in small, hermetically
sealed cans instead of the usual paper
packets.

O. C. Thompson, Albert Lea, Minn.,
has organized the Thompson Seed Co.,
and offers the farmers of the northwest
an opportunity to buy its seed and its
capital stock.

A Liverpool, England, concern, called
the Co-operative Bees., Ltd., issues a
seed catalogue of 200 pages, listing over
5,000 varieties and every species and va-
riety mentioned may be had in penny
packets.

It is stated tliat districts in Tennessee
and northern Alabama are this year
planting thousands of acres of canta-
loupes, interested parties assert that
this new district is soon to become the
principal cantaloupe region of the coun-
try.

The mail order seed houses are report-
ing business far ahead of last year to
date. In general they are of the opinion
that this gain will be all to the good,
the experience of the majority of them
being thnt orders continue to be sent in
right up to the limit of the planting
season.

There seems to be no drojiping off in
tlie volume of business done by the
Avholesalers. It was thought that the de-
mand for earlv shipments due to the
open weather would make the rush sea-
son shorter than common. This is not
the case, however, and a considerable in-
crease over last year's huMiiess is sure to
be a result.

Frank J. Ries, formerly with the
Goodwin-Harres Co., and later the W.
W. Barnard Co., Chicago, is now secre-
tary and manager for the recently incor-
porated Bromfield, Colvin, Kies Co., Bay
City., Mich. The corporation has taken
over the contract seed growing end of
the business of Bromfield & Colvin, and
the plan is to develop it along the lines
of Michigan specialties.

seed from growers who delay buying
their supply until planting time.

The jilanting season is liable to be
over before the custom house ofticiaLs let
go of .some important items billed in bond
to Chicago seedsmen.

The vine seeds, especially muskmelon,
watermelon and pumpkin, tiiat have
been received this year are generally be-
low standard in germinating (juality.

THE WEDGE HAS ENTERED.

The seedsmen at last have the thin
end of the wedge in the log, and may
hope for some progress in the matter of
s|.litting up the free seed distribution.
February i*S, the committee on agricul-
ture of the lower house of congress
adopted a resolution to eml the jirac-
tice. If the house and senate concur
in the action of the committee the distri-
bution will end — but it is a large "if."

Representative Cocks, of New York,
matle the motion for the adojttion of ihe
resolution and a pretty warm fight devel-
oped. The Republicans were practically
a unit in support of the Cocks motion,
while the Democrats were solidly against
him. The motion was supported in com-
mittee by Wadsworth, of Now York;
Henry, of Connecticut; Haugen, of
Iowa; Haskins, of Vermont; Lorimer,

ROCHESTER SEED NOTES.

Late deliveries of western stock, cu-
cumbers, melons, sweet and field corns,
etc., have greatly hampered the seed
trade, but, while enjoying excellent busi-
ness, much exceeding last year's, of
course they must have their annual
growl regarding the free distribution of
seeds by the Washington authorities.
Surely the seed merchants have had their
quotn of stern attention from the United
States government.

Mandeville & King report an encour-
aging increase over last year, and the
other seedsmen have put their stores in
readiness for the impending rush. Pros-
pects are bright and hopes are high for
a record season. F. p.

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

Com.plaints of damage done to crops
through weather extremes in England
are very prevalent, especially to the tur-
nip and similar field crops. It is not
unlikely that yields of all these will be
very light indeed during harvest of
1906. Many fields will be a very patchy
crop and in some cases are almost to-
tally destroyed. The stocks of turnip,
swede and similar lines have been so
exceptionally heavy the last few years
that a light crop one or two seasons will
do more good than harm to the market;
in fact, many merchants say it is just
what is wanted to bring prices to a
profitable level. Reports say the growers
are already holding out for a better
price for contract crops, although the
yearling seed stock of the country is
probably a very heavy one and quite suf-
ficient to keep prices from going up
much.

In a look round Mark Lane seed mar-
ket the general impression is that there
is very little doing. Some exceptionally
fine samples of marigold were offered
but at figures at which they received
scant attention. Some samples of clover
were offered, but at high figures. No
doubt owing to the unfavorable crop re-
ports of these and similar lines, holders
of stocks are asking the very top figures.

The seed potato trade is dead. Thou-
sands of tons are rotting. Disease is
more rampant this year than ever, and
instead of the recent boom of new and
disease-resisting varieties doing any
good, it has acted just the reverse. It
is only what might have been expected,
considering how excessively these boomed

HANDLING SEED CORN.

The proper care and handling of seed
corn is a very important part of its
preparation for use. The low vitality of
seed corn so frequently shown in the
spring when the germination tests are
made is due in many cases to improper
handling and storing during the fall and
winter months. The stand, the thrifti-
ness of the plants, and, in consequence,
the yield, depend largely upon proper
storage. During the past two seasons

83-01
Plymouth Place.

CHICAGO

the Iowa Experiment Station examined
a large number of samples of seed corn
secured from different parts of the state
and found that, on the average, these
samples fell far below the standard of
vitality. The corn had apparently dried
out well in the fall, and that a large
percentage of it should have been killed
by spring was not at all expected. How-
ever, it was found that often one ear was
good and the very next one poor; one
side of an ear alive and the other dead;

and frequently one kernel on an ear
would grow while the next one to it
would not. This condition is considered
as probably due to slow, imperfect ripen-
ing and insufficient drying in the fall;
to improper storage during fall and
winter, and to unusually cold weather
late in November and early in December,
which killed or weakened the germ by
freezing the kernels while they still con-
tained considerable moisture. The seed
corn that had been stored in dry and
well-ventilated places before October 20
was found to be in good condition.

During the last season more than 3,300
samples of seed corn from different parts
of Iowa, each sample being made up of
200 kernels taken from 100 ears of seed
corn, were given careful germination
tests at the station with the result that
•only about sixty per cent of this corn
showed sufficient vitality for field plant-
ing, while approximately twenty per
cent gave a weak germination and the
rest did not germinate at all.

T. L. Lyon, of the Nebraska Station,
found that seed corn put in an ordinary
crib and stored there over winter showed

quantities of cut rosea on hand and at
•what low prices they are being offered.
The French bloom has had a marked
effect on this particular line. On ac-
count of short supplies of French stuff
last year a lot of money was made in
forced roses, Safrano in particular. This
year eqiJally good stock does not bring
one-third last season 's prices.

Carnations are conspicuous almost by
their absence. Hardly any are seen on
the market, but it is evident the day
is not far distant when carnations, espe-
cially the American varieties, will be
plentiful on the English markets. Most
of the gardening journals are taking up
the subject, and the growers will not be
slow to satisfy any demand there may
be.

There appears to be a great scarcity
of Japan lilies in usual trade sizes this
year, and almost fabulous prices are be-
ing asked and obtained by dealers.
Lancifolium album, retarded bulbs, bring
high figures, and for longiflorum multi-
florum growers are paying £8 per 1,000
for 7x9 bulbs, and some dealers are even
asking £10 for the few they have left.
One of the largest growers round Lon-
don has bought some (5,000 longiflorum
giganteum at £12 per 1,000 because he
could not get sufficient of the multi-
florum type. Unless the cut bloom trade
makes a tremendous improvement these
growers must certainly fail to make any
money.

Now that the cutting of forced fresh
lily of the valley crowns is in full
swing, the valley trade is totally over-
done and one cannot help being struck
■with the immense quantities there are on
offer in London. They are being hawked
in the streets at 4 cents per bunch of
six spikes. It is the general opinion of
the leading growers that valley costs,
to produce under the conditions prevail-
ing in England, 1 cent per spike. One
effect the exceptionally poor crop of
really first-class crowns harvested in Ger-
many has had upon the market is to
make an absolute giut of second and
third-rate spikes. Of course, as soon as
the forcing of fresh crowns is over and
there is nothing but retarded stuff to
rely upon, prices will improve. Quite a
number of English firms now do their
own retarding with more or less suc-
cess, and it will soon be a regular thing
for all big establishments to have their
icehouses attached to the nursery.

local demand, especially for pot-plants,

Gunnar Teilmann has liLs stock in first-
class condition. A bench of caHa lilies
was certainly Avell done, there being
from two to three buds and blooms on
every ])lant. He has been sui)jtlying the
florists in this vicinity, also making
regular weekly shipments to Chicago.
Mr. Teilmanu does not rest his lilies
but lifts them out of the bench after
frost is over and plants them in the
open field, keeps them growing all sum-
mer, then pots them in the fall and holds
till the early chrysanthemums are cut.
Then he plants them in the bench. He

The Market

Trade conditions have been peculiar
the past month; stock has been scarce,
the dealers being unable to obtain
flowers enough to fill orders. The great-
est shortage seems to be in pink and
white roses, which have been almost un-
obtainable the past week. While scarce,
red has not been in such strong de-
mand; yellow is called for occasionally.
Carnations were scarce, but the last few
days of mild weather has eased the
shortage somewhat. There are lots of
tulips and other bulbous stock on the
market and all have sold well on account
of roses being so scarce. There are
plenty of callas and Easter lilies, which
lielp funeral work out wonderfully.

Violets are in greater demand this
winter than ever before, single having
the preference, and there are excep-
tionally fine flowers produced by some of
the local growers. Campbell is not in
much demand and sells much cheaper
than the dark and single.

Various Notes.

Many of the lilies in this vicinity are
showing a tendency to want to get ahead
of Easter, while a large proportion of
them will be short. What the trouble is
tio one seems to know,

Henry Smith and Alfred Hannah took
a two weeks' trip down into the peach
orchards of Texas and report the coun-
try looking fine, with bright prospects
of a good peach crop.

A. Boehringer, of Bay City, is here,
visiting the various florists. He thinks
this a great place for growers.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

Ideal spring weather is the thing in
this section of the country just now, the
mercury going to 70 degrees, vegetation
starting to grow, trees bursting and
shrubs almost in full leaf. They tell
me here that spring has begun, and
everything points that way. Outdoor
bulbs are coming up, and stock is being
bought for planting. Trade is pushing
fine here, and reports from different sec-
tions of this country give a very flatter-
ing report. The only complaint so far
is that there was not enough stock
bought in the fall to fill the orders, and
trade with seed and bulb men will be
increased to a great extent.

Sweet peas, out of doors, which were
planted last November, are putting on
good growth and, unless there should
come a sudden freeze, will be soon
blooming. Stock for Easter is far ad-
vanced and it will be a hard matter to
keep things back to have them in for
that day. Good prices are being real-
ized and first-class stock is in demand.

These at one time were all 30-cent
towns, but by persistent effort and by
growing nothing but the best, they have
reached the dignity of $1 places. In-
ferior stock is never sought, and the
florist who grows that class of plants
would have no opportunity to sell it.
From $1.50 to $2 is being received for
roses. Carnations bring 75 cents and
$1. Dutch hyacinths are fine and from
35 cents to 50 cents a bloom is easily
realized. Callas are scarce and looking
badly. Narcissus, what little there is
on the market, brings from 50 cents to
75 cents. Tulips sell at 75 cents to $1;
valley, $1.50; Von Sion, 75 cents;
mignonette, 35 cents, and everything
good goes.

The nursery men all through this sec-
tion are busy with their spring orders,
and planting seedling trees. Keports
from the nursery men say that this has
been the best year they have had, and
indications are for a large business the
coming year. Narcissus.

ORANGE, N. J.

The regular monthly meeting of the
New Jersey Horticultural Society was
held March 2. A paper on "Trent-
ham," the seat of the Duke of Souther-
land, recently presented by him to the
British people for purposes of higher
education, was given by George Austin,
who had a personal acquaintance with
these surroundings for twenty years.

The floral display was large and of
high order of merit. Julius Koehrs,
Lager & Hurrell and Thomas Jones rep-
resented the trade with flowers of great
beauty. The usual contributions from
neighboring estates filled the tables.

TWIN CITIES.

The Market

Trade with all dealers has been fair.
None of them has had a big week, but
all are satisfied with results. The sup-
ply of stock has been better than the
past few weeks. Eoses have not been
so scarce and dealers in general have
been able to supply their wants nicely.
It is to be expected trade will not be
as brisk the next thirty days as here-
tofore on account of Lent; nevertheless,
it keeps up nicely. Some retailers have
had good orders for funeral work and
it is safe to predict a good, steady busi-
ness for the balance of the month.

Bulbous stock holds full sway and all
growers have had good success with it.
Large numbers of very fine tulips and
daffodils are shown; in fact, the tulips
we have this season are away ahead of
what we ever had, which no doubt is the
result of good bulbs with proper care
given them. Some flowers measure fully
three and one-half inches in length,
which is good stock and above the aver-
age. Violets are plentiful and some
dealers have already started to reduce
the price of them. It is no doubt a
hard matter to throw away surplus, but
is it not better to do so than to cut the
price? We believe if a close account
were kept that the retailer would find
it a great deal more profitable to hold
up the price, even if some of them were
thrown in the dump.

Lilies appear to be coming on nicely
and it is quite evident that we are
going to have a good supply for Easter
unless something unforeseen happens.
With some of our growers they are well
advan^'ed and Avill have to be held back,
while with others they will stand all the
heat that can be given them. Azaleas
are looking good and we also antici-
pate a good supply of them. Baby
Ramblers are grown quite extensively,
one grower has in the neighborhood of
1,500, which look fine. They are grown
in cool houses along with carnations;
in consequence the flower is a good color
and the plants look strong and healthy.
Hydrangeas are coming along nicely and
all growers have a fair supply. One
thing is noticeable, the hydrangeas are
not so tall this year, the average being

about sixteen inches, which makes a good
marketable plant.

All growers have started a large num-
ber of cuttings of roses. The varieties
mostly used being the Eichmond, Moul-
ton and Killarney. With these three
leading sorts we should have some fine
stock this fall. All we need now is a
new Avhite and yellow to complete the
assortment.

Minneapolis.

Donaldson 's Glass Block reports a
good business. Saturday is reserved for
sale day, principally on bulbous stock,
which they have in large quantities.

Powers' Mercantile Co. has good suc-
cess in disposing of large numbers of
potted plants by selling them at reduced
prices. Saturday is developing into a
regular sale day for the department
stores.

Whitted Floral Co. is handling con-
siderable stock, all home-grown, with the
exception of a few carnations which
come from near-by towns; business is
good.

John ^lonson, of the Minneapolis
Floral Co., reports a rapidly increasing
demand for cuttings of his new rose.
Miss Kate Moulton, and says he is going
to have no trouble in disposing of fully
100,000 of them.

St Paul.

Some of the finest carnations in this
section are grown by E. F. Lemke. They
are superior to what is being shipped in
from exclusive carnation growers. He
has some Lawsons and Enchantress
which would be hard to beat. He in-
tends adding three or four houses to
his pl^nt this season.

Haugen & Swanson have some fine
cyclamen plants. They are also cutting
some fine violets, which are distributed
among the different retailers.

L. L. May & Co. have had some roses
the past week which are a credit to any
concern. The selects of them have been
sold on first sight at good prices. It
is an easy matter to sell their Killarney
and Eichmond at $3 per dozen.

Otto Hiersekorn reports a good busi-
ness and stock a great deal easier to
obtain than in the past few weeks. He
has had a good many orders for designs.

The Market.

We have had several weeks of dark,
rainy weather, followed by a few of
bright sunshine, making a very agree-
able change. Lent is here and, with its
coming, a slump is noticed in all lines
of the business except that of funeral
work, which keeps on in a very substan-
tial way. Stock of all kinds is daily
getting more plentiful and, from all
prospects, we will soon be getting our
full share. Narcissi of the white vari-
eties are practically over for the season,
although there are still quantities of yel-
low daffodils on hand. Frcesias are now
at their best and the retailers are using
large quantities of them. They cost on
an average of from $1 to $1.50 per
hundred stems. Eoman hyacinths are
out of season and quite a number of the
Dutch varieties in pots are displayed in
the florists' windows. Carnations are
plentiful, but I do not think they will
lower to any extent in price until after
Easter.

Roses are in fair supply only, but as
the demand continues limited, there are
just enough to go around. Violets are
commencing to show the results of the
last few warm days and the poor keep-
ing qualities always shown late in the
season are now appearing. The prices
charged by the wholesale dealers average
about 75 cents per dozen bunches.

Wild maidenhair is now long enough
of stem to be of some use to the dealers
and it is used quite extensively instead
of the tame varieties.

stock are preparing to prosecute H. A.
Dunnegan and A. B. Jones, of Spring-
field, III., on a fraud charge. Notes
were given by the farmers and it is al-
leged these were turned over to attorneys
for collection. It is claimed the notes,
by virtue of a verbal agreement, were
to be payable in five years.

Fred'k W. Kelsey says of his cata-
logue that he intended it to be the ' ' best
ever" and second to no publication of
the kind in this country or abroad. In
the different classifications not only are
the different sizes of each variety indi-
cated, but the alphabetically arranged
index gives both the botanical and com-
mon names of a large variety of the best
trees and hardy plants, making the cata-
logue a hand-book for convenient and
ready reference. Of course paper and
printing are in keeping.

advise the public that in planting trees
it is a good rule to ' ' deal only with re-

ALBERTSON'S AMBITION.

business were at once turned upon the
interests of the trade at large when he
was appointed chairman of the transpor-
tation committee of the American Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen. It was a happy
selection. When he was elected to the
presidency of the association it only
broadened his field of activity.

In its three decades the American As-
sociation of Nurserymen has had many
strong men at its head, but there are
few who have taken up its work with
greater energy and accomplished so much
as has President Albertson. Early in
his official career he found that the asso-
ciation was without further funds for
the use of the transportation committee,
just then at a point where several years
of effort were about to bear fruit. A
stirring appeal to the trade brought sub-
scriptions ample to the needs of the occa-

sion and the work was pushed to a suc-
cessful condusion. Mr. Albertson and
Mr. Eeed of the transportation commit-
tee have devoted a large part of their
time to the affairs of the association
^nd have gained for the trade benefits
which will be of money value to every
shipper. It is estimated that the saving
in freight their efforts have produced
will amount to not less than $50,000 a
year to the trade and probably to much
more, as a number of nurserymen are
able to figure savings of from $1,000 to
$5,000 each.

Now that this work is well out of the
way, Mr. Albertson's energies are trans-
ferred to the forthcoming convention at
Dallas. He proposed to make it the best
convention the society has ever held. The
date is June 13.

FUMIGATING NURSER STOCK.

Quite elaborate experiments were car-
ried out at the New York Experiment
Station, to gain information on the effect
of hydrocyanic acid gas on fruit buds. In
these experiments from 0.18 to 0.3 gram
of cyanide was used per cubic foot of
space on apple buds. Of the treated
buds 80.6 per cent lived, while 84.3 per
cent of the untreated buds set success-
fully. Similar experiments with cherry,
pear, peach, and plum buds indicated a
slight advantage in every case in favor
of the untreated buds. The difference,
however, except in the case of peach
buds, was not great enough to indicate
any decided injury from the gas. In the
case of peaches the use of 0.22 gram of
of peaches the use of 0.22 gram of
cyanide per cubic foot of space during
the fumigation period of one hour did
no harm whatever; in fact the per-
centage of treated buds which lived was
greater than those of the checks. "When,
however, 0.3 gram of cyanide per cubic
foot was used there was considerable
injury, only seventy per cent of the
treated buds living, as against 82.8 per
cent of the checks. The growth of the
treated peach buds, however, was in
nearly every instance equal to that of
the untreated buds.

During the past winter Burgess, in
Ohio, Symons, in Maryland, and Phil-
lips, in Virginia, undertook experiments
independently to determine the effect of
fumigation upon ordinary nursery stock.
The conclusions reached by these inves-
tigators were almost identical and the
principal conclusion was that fumigation
does not injure well-matured nursery
stock

In Maryland, 3,000 nursery trees were
fumigated, one-half in the fall and one-
half in the spring. These trees were
apple and peach. The amount of cyanide
used varied from a quantity below the
normal to six times the amount usually
recommended for fumigating nursery
stock. In order to test the effect of time
of exposure, one-half of the trees was
fumigated for thirty minutes and the
other' for one hour. The results obtained
from these experiments indicate that no
injury was caused dormant apple and
peach nursery stock two years or more
of age even with a strength of gas and
period of exposure considerably greater
than that commonly prescribed by in-
spectors. These experiments were car-
ried on in fumigating houses at the
nurseries where the trees were dug. By
the use of excessive strengths of cyanide
it was shown that there is apparently
more danger of injury in fumigating in
the fall than in the spring. In the

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

March 8, 1906.

fumigating tests carried on in the fall,
peach trees appeared to be more resist-
ant to the effect of gas than apple trees.
A slight difference in the resisting power
of different varieties of apples was
noted, the Yellow Transparent being
most resistant, while Winesap, Ben
Davis, Maiden Blush, and York Imperial
were apparently more likely to be in-
jured.

TOPEKA, KAN.

No more whole-hearted, hospitable
class of people can be found anywhere
than the members of the florists' profes-
sion in the beautiful capital of Kansas.
I paid them a visit last week, had a
most enjoyable time and incidentally dis-
covered that all the good growers are not
confined to the large cities. The past
season has been a good one and the
florists all seem prosperous and content-
ed. The old-timers all say that the sea-
son just passed has been the best one
in their experience. Several new con-
cerns have opened up for business re-
cently, but it seems to have no per-
ceptible effect on the trade of the older
establishments, such is the rapid increase
in business.

I called first, as a matter of course,
on our old friend and former employer,
James Hayes. I have been employed
by Mr. Hayes several times and a more
genial, kind-hearted employer it has
never been my good fortune to find.
He has a range of 12,000 square feet
of glass, ail of the best construction and
everything is in first-class shape. Most
of the space is devoted to the growing
of cut flowers, principally carnations,
of which Mr. Hayes makes a specialty.
His carnations are in splendid condition
and would be hard to excel anywhere.
He grows principally Lawson, both pink
and white; Enchantress, Boston Mar-
ket, Harlowarden and Estelle. He has
one house of roses and another devoted
to palms and ferns. He has an able
assistant in his son, W. B. Hayes, who
bids fair to some day equal his father
as a grower. Mr. Hayes is one of the
veterans of the business in Topeka and
has built up a substantial trade.

J. M. Kessler's place is another point
of interest. Although comparatively a
new-comer, he has already made an en-
viable reputation as a grower of first-
class stock. He does a wholesale busi-
ness and grows principally carnations.
We have never seen as fine Queen Louise
anywhere as we saw on this place and,
if all growers could be as successful with
this variety as Mr. Kessler is, no better
white could be desired. This variety is
usually out of bloom at this season,
but his benches were a mass of bud and
bloom.

Hiram Hulse is one of the old-timers.
He has only a small range of houses,
5,000 square feet, but no one turns out
a better grade of stock than Mr. Hulse.
He has long had the reputation of
growing the best roses in this section of
the country, and his carnations are sec-
ond to none. Mr. Hulse will retire from
the business this spring and devote his
time to his fruit farm in western Kan-
sas.

J. E. Bodman is another old-timer.
He has a handsome little store on the
main street and does a thriving busi-
ness. He does the bedding and land-
scape work for the Kansas division of
the Union Pacific Eailway, and his green-
houses are principally devoted to bed-
ding plants.

KANSAS QTY.

The Market.

Busine&s sho'n'ecl a decrease last week.
Increased shipments from outside towns
and an increase in the home supply
caused a drop in prices. Good stock is
selling lower than at any time since be-
fore the holidays. While business has
been very good it was not up to the usual
standard and the prices received were
lower. Some carnations are being aold
at 35 cents to 50 cents a dozen, but the
majority of the dealers realize much
better prices than this. Violets have
sold well and there has been a good de-
mand for bulbous stock. Some fine
specimens of lilacs, rhododendrons and
azaleas are being shown at the leading
stores.

Various Notes.

The matter of holding another flower
show next fall is already being agitated.
Louis W. Shouse, secretary of Conven-
tion hall, has addressed a letter to the
florists of this city asking their views
on the matter. All that we have heard
express an opinion are in favor of it.

W. A. Bastian received a shipment of
Queen Louise carnations from J. M.
Kessler, of Topeka, last Saturady that
were the finest flowers of this variety
that have been seen here.

Samuel Murray handled two large so-
ciety decorations this week. Mr. Mur-
ray has enjoyed a splendid season and
has had all the business he could handle.

The Shaefl'er Floral Co. had a rush of
plant trade last Saturday that kept the
entire force busy until closing time.
They are showing some fine blooming
plants of their own growing.

The local supply of bedding plants
for spring is unusually large and in fine
shape. Kay-See.

Aurora, III. — Joseph M. Smely will
attend the meeting of the Chicago Flo-
rists' Club at Chicago, March 8, leaving
there in time to reach Peoria the follow-
ing morning for the meeting of the state
association March 9.

Madison, N. J.— J. M. Lyons died
suddenly at his home February 15 at the
age of 51 years. In his death Madison
loses one of its old and highly respected
residents, and the trade one of its best
rose growers. Although he did not have
a large range of glass, his place was
up-to-date and the results could be seen
daily in the wholesale market. Besides
the widow, he leaves two sons, Edward
and Paul C.

BALTIMORE.

The Market

Business has fallen off somewhat since
last report. Roses and carnations have
at last caught up with the demand and
some days are a little ahead, but still I
can say that trade continues active.
More bulbous stock is being shipped to
this market than can be handled to good
advantage, white tulips going as low as
$1.50 per hundred, sold direct by one
of our growers. Sweet peas and violets
are also coming in more plentiful, but
with no increased demand. Smilax is
still scarce.

Various Notes.

At the next regular meeting of the
Gardeners' Club, Monday, March 12, the
annual election of officers takes place,
after which the usual banquet will take
place at one of our leading hotels. All
members of the club are earnestly re-
quested to be present at this important
meeting.

E. Falph, for many years with Mr.
Steward, who has retired from the busi-
ness lately, has opened up a very at-
tractive flower store within a block of
the old place.

William B. Sands reports that his
son, who has been ill with typhoid fever,
is slowly recovering.

Frederick G. Burger has left on a
trip to Florida with his son, whose health
has been impaired by an attack of ery-
sipelas.

E. A. Seidewitz has sold his property
near Arlington to the Western Maryland
Eailroad, but since has purchased a new
site on Belvedere road, between Mount
Washington and Electric park. There
are six acres of land and he will pro-
ceed at once to build a dwelling and put
up three houses.

Southern jonquils have already made
their appearance.

Fred Bauer is sending the entire cut
of his new pink carnation to the Balti-
more Florists' Exchange, where it finds
ready sale.

Among the week's visitors were Mr.
Green, of H. Bayersdorf er 's, and Mr.
Zirkmann, of M. Rice & Co., Philadel-
phia, and Mr. Wiedemann, of A. Herr-
mann, New York, A. F.

Saxem, O. — J. H. Brown has removed
to this city from Scbring, O., and has
purchased a large greenhouse establish-
ment. He sold his place at Sebring to
J. F. Hall, of that village, who is con-
tinuing the business along the old lines.

WASHINGTON.

State of Trade.

March started in to do the lion act.
With a heavy snowstorm and its at-
tendant slush as a starter, on through
torrential rain, thunder and lightning,
we have had weather to spare. This has
had a depressing effect on trade. Din-
ners and luncheons that could not well
be postponed furnished the major por-
tion of business, the shoppers being
kept pretty well indoors. Sunday morn-
ing was bright and considerable busi-
ness was done. This to some extent
lightened the accumulated burden of
stock.

The dealers, as a rule, are optimistic.
Said an old employee of a leading store :
' ' In twenty years ' experience I have
noticed that as a rule social affairs are
missing for about ten days after the
beginning of Lent. After that time we
expect business to be back in the old
channels."

Though good cut stock keeps coming
in at a surprising rate, there is little
likelihood of a glut, as much of the
bulbous stock will soon be out of the
way. Considerable large pot stock is
coming in. Scott Y.

MINONK, ILL.

Charles Snyder, of tlie firm of Brady
& Co., 'Kureka, 111., has arranged to re-
move the greenhouse from tliat city to
Minonk to be utilized in the construc-
tion of a place in this city, which will
comprise 22,000 square feet of glass.
The firm of Brady & Co. will be discon-
tinued and it is reported that Mr. Brady,
who is in poor health, will dispose of
his garden and fruit property at Eureka,
where the greenhouse has been located.

Mr. Snyder expects to get his first
crop on the market next November.
Workmen are already at work and a
car-load of glass has been received. The
site is that of the old coal shaft build-
ing and tile works. Two seventy horse-
power boilers will be installed and Mr.
Snyder's machinery will run the new
fan the coal company is putting in the
escape shaft. The company which Mr.
Snyder has organized will have a decided
advantage in cheap fuel.

Lowell, Mass. — The park commis-
sioners, in their annual report, give much

efforts at combating the brown tail

DUBUQUE, lA.

The local florists were kept busy last
week making up work for the funeral of
Col. David B. Henderson, ex-speaker of
the House of Representatives. As many
designs, sprays and flowers were used at
the residence, church and grave there was
plenty of work for all the trade here.
The design which attracted most atten-
tion was the casket cover sent by Major
W. H. Day. This was in the form and
colors of " the National flag, SVi'^lVz
feet. This was used as a blanket to
cover the grave, the other pieces being
banked about it.

* ' Iowa 's Tribute, ' ' an immense wreath
of white roses, valley and violets on a
base of American Beauties, lilies and
sago leaves, was supplied from Harkett 's
Floral Nursery. Other pieces were a
large and beautiful wreath with flag
and gavel on base from the Congress of
the United States, and numerous other
wreaths, pillows, flags, panel designs,
sprays, etc.

Many telegrams were received by
Glaser, Muntz and Harkett 's from Wash-
ington and other points for floral tributes
to be delivered from here, and some
designs and flowers were sent in by ex-
press.

The grave in Linwood cemetery is
completely hidden from view in the
wealth of floral offerings, the magnifi-
cence of the tributes being a general
topic of conversation.

PAINESVILLE, OHIO.

The last game of the season was
played Wednesday afternoon, February
28, at Johnson's alleys. The retail
clerks won the match, also the grand
total for five games by 178 pins. In
the evening a banquet was given for all
the employees of the Storrs & Harrison
Co., and everybody had a jolly good
time. The busy season has started full
blast; and now for three solid months
of hustle to supply our florists and cus-
tomers. These are the last scores:

DETROIT.

The Market.

Lent does not seem to have much ef-
fect on local business. Theaters are
drawing as large crowds as before and,
judging from the society news, many
dinners, parties, etc., are booked for the
near future. There has been an extra
heavy run on funeral work of late, it
being pretty well divided among the
trade. All this has tended to keep up
prices.

Very few Beauties find their way into
this market. White roses are much in
demand, the best grades bringing from
$8 to $12 per hundred. In fact, all roses
are moving well.

Carnations are arriving in larger quan-
tities, but so far have sold readily from
$2.50 to $3 per hundred, excepting Law-
son, which are a glut at $2 per hun-
dred.

Violets are meeting with good de-
mand despite the fact that a local paper
recently spread the report that violets
are out of style. Asparagus plumosus is
at a premium, while Sprengeri is quite
plentiful. Smilax is also scarce. Tulips,
particularly yellow, and daffodils are
more than plentiful.

Various Notes.

The local growers are thoroughly dis-
gusted with Harrisii lilies and from
present threats there will be but few
grown in this vicinity next season.

Jerome K. Stock is a busy man these
days. After completing a new floor he
intends to install a fine new ice-box.

Gus H. Taepke contemplates the erec-
tion of three rose houses the coming
spring, each 28x175 feet. It is under-
stood that the Foley Mfg. Co. has the
contract for the material. Cypress
benches are to be used.

B. Schroeter is receiving some fine
Brides and Maids from Van Bochove &
Bro., of Kalamazoo, Mich.

John Klein and Miss Lempke, both at
Breitmeyer 's, have been on the sick list.

ALLIANCE, OHIO.

ROCHESTER.

Wliilo our citizens pride themselves
on their manufacturing plants, their
scenic environment, etc., the seed, nur-
sery and florists ' business, which has
accomplished so much for the benefit of
Rochester, i.s not overlooked. Here has
been the acknowledged center of the
nursery and seed trade in America for
years, and more greatly accentuated
now by the output of last season and
the excellent outlook for the coming year.
Why should this not be, while Rochester
IS the flowery as well as the "floury"
city of the United States f

Most of our cut flower dealers own
their greenhouses and the produce is put
in evidence in the best of condition. The
genial Salter Brothers are showing
nearly all that is purchasable now. Tulips,
dafl'odils, azaleas, orchids, lilacs, mignon-
ette, ericas, etc., are so arranged that
they attract attention from any passer-by.
Keller Brothers' display, among others,
Otaheite oranges, hydrangeas, valley,
crocus, hyacinths, rhododendrons and
Wistarias. Wilson, with his two stores,
lias an excellent variety of flowering and
foliage plants an^i trade is report.-d l-cie
as with the other caterers — excellent.
Boucher is doing good business in the
sanio 'Jass of stock, including fine ciner-
arias fjid cyclamen. Fn>ni the poorest
to Tlie millionaire, all can be a^itonnno-
dated in the florists' line in Rochester.

Besides the large and increasinrj de-
mand for plants, the cut flower people
i.ave jusi reason to be .lubihuit over Inst
'•eni 's transactions Jind this year's, so
far. Bulbous stock has given good re-
sults.

Oeorge Hart, our only commission
man, declares he is more than satisfied
with past receipts, both in goods and
cash. Business with him looks bright.

Vick & Hill Co. have an interesting
range of glass and handle the greatest
variety of plants that can be desired.
The appearance of the plants convinces
one that they enjoy life; not like those
described by a Avriter who saw some in
a city establishment in this state, which
"were weary and Avilling to die." Fred
Vick superintends the whole busine.ss
personally, and this means a whole lot to
his customers, which they appreciate.
There are ten houses, each 100 feet long
and thirty feet wide, with the exception
of the propagating pit which is consider-
ably narrower. Some are filled with
carnations, both old favorites and new
varieties. Foliage plants — palms. Bos-

GRENLOCH, N. J.

The Bateman Manufacturing Co. has
devised a practical means of keeping a
record of everything pertaining to meth-
ods of culture and results in garden,
greenhouse and trial grounds tliat will be
appreciated by all gardeners and florists.
It is the Iron Age horticultural label and
row index, a simple, but practical little
device that will become a necessity as it
becomes known. By its upe there is pro-
vided at the end of the season a com-
plete record, including date of planting,
varieties, fertilizer used, date of matu-
rity; productiveness, or any other desired
information.

The row index consists of a galvanized
iron stake, at the top of which is a record
card, protected by a weatherproof sheet
of mica held in a hinged frame at con-
venient angle for reading. At the end
of the season this card forms an inval-
uable record that makes it possible to

BRANDON, MAN.

The Brandon Greenhouses, Brandon,
Man., havp. been sold to the Brandon
Seed and Kursery House by Fred Man-
soff, who established the business thir-
teen years ago. The consideration was
$15,000.

Mr. and Mrs. Mansoff came from Lon-
don, England, with a capital not exceed-
ing $10, but with great pluck and energy
he established a small market garden
and later added greenhouses on ground
north of the present site. Good progress
was made until the spring of 1900,
when the flats were completely flooded
with water from the overflow from the
river, and Mr. Mansoff lost everything
he had gained during the previous seven
years.

Nothing daunted, he started again, but
this time on a higher level farther south,
removing his greenhouses thither. From
that time steady progress has been made,
and now, when Mr. Mansoff has his busi-
ness in the best of shape, he has sold it
at a good figure. Mr. Mansoff has the
reputation of being the only florist who
has made a success of growing roses
in Manitoba and his success with carna-
tions and other flowers has been almost
as great.

Mr. Mansoff will stay with the new
company until July 1, and will super-
intend the erection of another green-
house and the replanting of the present
ones, after which he will take a well-
earned vacation, visiting several large
cities in the States. He intends to return
to Brandon to reside.

SCRANTON, PA.

The Scranton Florists' Club is grow-
ing rapidly. At the last meeting appli-
cations for membership were received
from florists from Dunmore, Scranton,
Wilkes-Barre and Bloomsburg. A ma-
jority of the leading florists from Lacka-
wanna, Luzerne and Columbia counties
now belong to the club. At the next
meeting, March 16, members are re-
quested to bring a few carnations or a
plant in bloom. We have seen new vari-
eties exhibited by outside growers and
now we would like to see what our own
men are doing.

Mrs. McConnell, wife of J. M. McCon-
nell, died at her home on Oak street
Monday, February 19, after a lingering
illness. She was associated with her
husband's business for many years and
leaves a wide circle of friends to mourn
her loss. Interment was at Gouldsburg
February 21, H.

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 6ooo 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 yon will confer a favor on the

Superior Boilers Are Good Boilers

Bead what our customers say about them:

South Bend, Ixi)., April 4, 1904.

"Superior to any Hot Water Boiler we have
ever used. You certainly have placed the right
name to your Boilers; no effort at all to keep
the temperature at desired points when zero
weather comes. Nlgrht after nltf ht the past se-
vere winter weather grave your Boiler a grood test.
We are more than pleased with the Superior
Boiler." Yours truly, Treanor & Rettlc.

LENOX, MASS.

The regular meeting of the Lenox
Horticultural Society was held March 3,
Pres. S. Cariquist in the chair. This was
carnation night, but . owing to wet
weather there were not many flowers
on exhibition. \V. J. & M. S. Vesey,
Fort Wayne, Ind., sent at the sugges-
tion of Arthur T. Boddington, New
York, some of their new carnation, Glen-
dale, which, unfortunately, arrived very
badly brui.sed and shaken up. Thej were
accorded a vote of thanks, but the com-
mittee liopes to see it again at some
future date. Among the exhibits were
some fine White Lawson, Nelson Fisher,
Flamingo and Enchantress.

A special meeting was held March 5
to pass upon the new rose, Miss Kate
Moulton, from the Minneapolis Floral
Co., John Monson, proprietor, Minneapo-
lis, Minn. It was awarded a first class
certificate. The committee thinks it one
of the finest roses so far seen and well
worthy of a certificate.

Our next meeting, March 17, is rose
night. G. F.

NEWARK, N. J.

Alleging that George Penek, a florist,
had funds in his possession belonging to
the estate of Henry Bird, which had not
been turned over, Frank Du Bois, trus-
tee of the Bird estate, brought suit in
the Second District Court February 27
to recover $166. Penek paid $97 to the
court before the trial, declaring that that
amount covered the claim against him,
and Judge Lintott, after hearing the
evidence, gave a verdict to Du Bois
for the amount the florist said he owed.

Du Bois testified that Penek owed $75
rent on Belleville avenue property,
owned by the Bird estate, and a like
amount on another tract in Arlington.
The plaintiff also alleged that the florist
had collected $16 rent from a tenant of
a house owned by the estate. Penek
married the widow of the late Henry
Bird.

TRISSED HOISE QIESTION

It is nothing new with us this using of
trusses in greenhouse construction.

For years we have used the trttss to eliminate columns or other members when in the
way. The truss has always been a regular stock matter with us, but we have now carried
it a bit farther, leaving out additional supporting members and perfecting an ideal trussed
house. We base our trussing on the principles adopted by the best engineers in the
country. We truss two ways : Along the purlin at every sixth bar with struts at every
other bar, and from the ridge to eaves on every sixth, tying the house together with the
necessary crossties.

Other forms of truss construction strut at every fourth bar, which, of course,
increases the shading members and also adds to the expense of the house* The sash-
bar we use is increased in depth and decreased in width. This, of course, casts less shade and
greatly increases the strength of the bar. At the ridge we secure the sashbars with wrought
iron hold-fasts, which are secured directly to the bars and on to the ridge piece. This
prevents all possibility of the house spreading.

Another feature is the use of our new gutter. Now, this new gutter is a subject that will
interest you greatly, so next week we will talk gutter.

It is not always a question of the new, but the use of the
old thing a new way. That Is what our trussed house Is.

PERSONAL OPINIONS.

[A paper by Joseph P. Kllmmer, read before
the Chicago Florists' Club, March 8, 1906.]

Before I begin the narration of these
experiences I want to say that 1 hope I
will not tread on anybody's toes. It is
not my intention to do any variety any-
thing but justice and I shall relate my
experience of the past season and my
plans for the next with full understand-
ing that mine may not be at all like the
results obtained and conclusions reached
by other growers in other soils and with
other methods of culture. By this time
every carnation grower should have his
plans ready for next season; he should
know which varieties he intends to plant
next fall and what varieties he has to
discard.

There are quite a few growers like
myself, always ready to try a reason-
able amount of those liberally adver-
tised novelties, and now, after trying
them for a season, the question is, did
they pay and did they give satisfaction?

Fiancee.

We will take Fiancee for a starter. I
discarded Marquis for the new love be-
cause, after seeing it at three different
seasons at Joliet, I supposed it was time
to make the change. Last August I
planted in the bench the 410 plants I
had left of the 500 I had bought. They
produced in October 625 first-class
flowers, which sold even in the chrysan-
themum season for from $4 to $6 per
hundred. During November I cut 169,
during December sixty-nine, during
January thirteen, and in February four.

This is a rather astonishing record,
but I believe it is to a great extent my
own fault, because I treated my Fiancee,
in the first week in November, to a fair-
ly liberal dose of manure and bone meal
and in return got an immense crop of
fantastic looking "splits" which nobody
would buy. I wonder will we ever learn
to let well enough alone? I am con-
vinced that if I had left the fertilizer
off sixty-five per cent of the splits would
have been salable flowers and Fiancee
would have been a fairly well paying
proposition, at least up to Christmas. As

it is, I have sworn off flirting any fur-
ther with anybody else's Fiancee.

Cardinal.

Next on the programme is Cardinal.
The most of my plants were affected
with rust and I could not get rid of it.
They produce quite a few black and dis-
torted flowers, but they also give me a
very liberal amount of good, first-class
flowers with fairly strong stems. Right
among the rusty ones we had about thir-
ty plants which kept entirely clean and
certainly came up in every respect to the
introducer's description, so I shall give
Cardinal another trial.

Some of the plants I have now potted
up in 4-inch pots. They will be planted
out as early as possible to give it a trial
as a summer bloomer. Cardinal is an im-
provement on Estelle, which has been my
best summer bloomer for the last five
years.

Lieut. Peary.

Next is Lieut. Peary. This is, in my
estimation, the best of last year's intro-
ductions. It has not the elegant finish,
and it is not such a glistening white as
Lady Bountiful, but it is one of the very
best keepers and shippers. It is a strong
upright grower, a steady and even
bloomer, makes no surplus grass and is
entirely free from rust or any other dis-
ease. Although it brings some sleepy-
looking and some split flowers, still on
the whole I believe it will be in the run-
ning for some years.

Estelle.

In scarlet I grow Flamingo, Estelle
and Cardinal and in addition will also
have 300 each of Robert Craig and Vic-
tory. I need Estelle for a good, common
scarlet in the winter, and early in April
I take up the old plants from the bench,
cut them back severely and then plant
them out for summer blooming. One can
depend upon those plants to furnish a
good, steady supply of flowers from the
middle of July until frost, at an average
price of $1.50 per hundred.

Flamingo.

Flamingo is considered by our Chicago
retail florists the best scarlet winter car-

nation on the market and as far as I can
judge 1 believe that either Robert Craig
or Victory will have some trouble to beat
it. Flamingo has been a failure in a
good many cases, in some undoubtedly
because the soil did not suit, but in most
cases I believe it is the treatment. The
plants must be good and strong when
planted out. Do not pinch them back any
more than is absolutely necessary to keep
them in trim. After August 1 pick off
all buds high up on the stem until Oc-
tober 20; then let them bloom all they
can until March 15, when they should be
thrown out to make room for spring
stock.

Flamingo needs to be planted in sandy
soil, or soil with a liberal quantity of
half rotten horse manure to make it por-
ous. Give it plenty of water but do not
feed at all, because the flower is large
enough for all practical purposes and
any feeding is likely to spoil the keep-
ing quality and produce more splits.

Contradictory Experiences.

As an explantion I can state that the
first 500 Flamingo I bought, in .January,
made large and elegant plants that came
into bloom in August. I pinched those
flowers off before planting them in the
house, and let them come into bloom
again in the latter part of September,
but had to pick those flowers off also,
because they would not keep, but in the
latter part of October, when the weather
got cool, they improved rapidly and by
Christmas I had cut an average of thir-
teen flowers per plant, ranging in price
from $4 to $12 per hundred. By March
10 we had an average of eighteen'
flowers. Just about then flowers get
spotty and the plants grow so much to
grass as to be almost entirely worthless.

Seeing that my first lot did so well I
bought 200 more in the fall, all good,
healthy plants from the field, but con-
siderably smaller than my own. These
plants had, from September 20 on, the
same treatment, were planted in the same
soil and in the same bench, but I did not
cut a flower from those 200 pl^ts until
January 11, and then they only i|i,veraged
not quite six flowers per plaid^ up to
March 10, when they also gave^t. Dur-
ing the last winter I had tha^'^ame ex-
perience with plants of my ojjili growing
and also noticedJ|^6imilar resullt at some
of my neighbors' places. Thiff'shows in
my mind why some people have such
great success with Flamingo, while with
others it is almost a failure.

Another important point i^:in disbud-
ding. In rubbing off the bvjd next to
the flower, the main stem ;iB/ .very liable
to be injured and the flower will have a

PERSONAL OPINIONS.

[A iiapor Ity Jos(>i)h V. Klimincr. roiid lii'fDre
tlic Clikiifjo I'lorists' Club, Murili 8. T.MiO.]

Before 1 Ix'gin the narration of tlicsi'
('xi)orionccs 1 want to say that 1 liu])C I
\\[\\ not tread on anybody's toes. It is
not jny intention to do any variety any-
tliing bnt jnstice and I sliall relate my
fxperieiieo of the j)ast season and my
])lans for the next with fall understand-
ing that mine may not bo at all like the
results obtained and con(dusions reached
by other gro^Yers in other soils and with
other methods of culture. P.y this time
every carnation grower should liave his
plans ready for next season; he should
know which varieties he intcMids to plant
next fall ami what varieties lie has to
discard.

There are quite a few growers like
myself, always ready to try a reason-
able amount of those liberally adver-
tised novelties, and now, after tryinfj
them for a season, the (|uestioii is, did
lliey ]>ay and did they yive satisfaction?

Fiancee.

AVe will take Fiancee Inr a staiter. I
• liscarded Marquis for the new love bc-
c;iuse, after seeing it at three different
seasons at Joliet, 1 supposed it was time
to make the cliange. ]>ast August I
jdanted in the bench the 410 plants I
had left of the oOO 1 had bought. They
produced in October iV2') tirst-class
tlowers, which sold even in tlie chrysan-
themum season for from $4 to .*tj per
hundred. During November 1 cut 1(59,
during December sixty nine, during
January thirteen, and in February four.

This is a rather astduisiiing record,
but I believe it is to a great extent my
own fault, because I treated my i'iancee,
in the first week in Xovember, to a fair-
ly liberal dose of manure and lione meal
and in return got an inutieiisc^ crop of
fantastic looking "splits" wiiidi nobody
would buy. 1 Wonder will we ever learn
to let well enough alone? I am con-
vinced that if I had left the fertilizer
olf .sixty-live per cent of the splits would
have been salable llowers and l'"iancee
would have been a fairly well ]iaying
jiroposition, at l(>ast up to Christmas. .\>^

it is, i lia\c sworn olV llirting aii\' t'ur-
tlier wit!) iinybody else's Fiancee.

Cardinal.

Next on the progrannin' is r'ardinal.
The most id" my i>lants were affected
witii rust and I could not get rid of it.
They produce (piit(! .'i few black and dis-
toi'ted flowers, but they also give me a
very libei'al auumnt of good, first-idass
llowers with fairly strong stems. Right
among tiie rusty ones we iiad about thir-
ty plants whicli kept (Mitirely (dean and
certainly came up in every n^spect to the
introducer's desci'iiit ion, so 1 shall give
Cardinal another trial.

Some of the jilants I have now potted
up in 4-inch ])ots. Tliev \\iil be ]iianted
out as early as jiossiliie to ;;ive it a trial
as a summer liloouier. (ardinal is an ini-
))rovement on l''.stelle, whiili lias been my
best summer bloomer for tiie last fixe
years.

Lieut. Peary.

Xext is liieul. Peary. This is, in my
estimation, the best of last year's inti'o-
ductions. it has not the elegant finish,
and it is not such .a glistening wiiif(> as
Lady Bountiful, but it is one of tlie very
best k(H'pers and siiippers. It is a strong
upright grower, a steady and even
bloomei", makes no siir|ilus grass and is
entirely free from rust or any other dis-
ease. Although it brings some sleef)y-
hioking .and some split llowers, still on
the whole 1 belie\c it will be in the I'un
ning for soum' years.

peculiar, crooked neck. Since I found it
out we let the last bud stay on until
the flower is cut and the trouble dis-
appears. Give Flamingo a little extra
attention and care and I am sure that
you will not have to worry whether the
new scarlets are successes or failures.

Other Sorts.

For white I shall grow Lady Bounti-
ful, Dorner's White Perfection, Lieut.
Peary and Vesper and will discard Alba-
tross and The Belle. In light pink I
shall grow Enchantress, discarding
Morning Glory. Possibly Genevieve
Lord may have to make room for Helen
Goddard, although the former has proven
very satisfactory.

Mrs. Lawson will be discarded in
favor of Nelson Fisher and Pink Pat-
ten. Pink Patten I believe will be in
another two years a warm competitor of
Mrs. Thos. Lawson. Better watch it
grow.

For variegated, M. A. Patten seems
to be the best with me, so I will keep it
next season.

This completes my list for next sea-
son and I hope it will turn out satisfac-
torily, though I still wish the Lord
would throw a sport or a seedling my
way that has the clear color of the Mar-
quis and the general growth, habit and
keeping qualities of the Patten. Then
I surely would be happy until the shoe
pinched me in some other place.

CHICAGO CLUB DOINGS.

VICTORY'S LONGEST JOURNEY.

"We are indebted to A. Dimmock, "
says the Gardener's Chronicle, London,
' * for the opportunity of inspecting a
bouquet of carnations, the flowers having
been cut in America and imported here
in this condition. Mr. Dimmock has pre-
viously shown us roses which have
crossed the Atlantic in a cut state, and
were brought to this office in a good
state of preservation, 'me interest in

The Carnation Show.

The Chicago Florists' Club may have
had larger exhibitions than that set up
in the Atlas block March 8, but it is
certain that its members were never
privileged to look upon better carna-
tions. To James Hartshorne, of the Chi-
cago Carnation Co., must be given the
principal measure of commendation for
whatever success the show made. His
exhibit was the largest he has ever set
up at a purely club affair, and was
very nearly as large as the combined
displays of all the other exhibitors.
Wietor Bros, were second in point of
extent of exhibits, with Jensen & De-
kema third, but when it came to quality
it would be difficult to determine who
had the best stock, and, in fact, the
judges contented themselves with enu-
merating the varieties and according
equal commendation to all. The cuts
of all the growers seem to be at the very
top for quality, and it was noticeable
that not a sleepy bloom was to be seen
at the close of the show, all having
stood up perfectly in the warm and fre-
quently crowded room. The showing of
novelties was a good one. All the leaders,
except Victory, were there, and Victory
has been seen in Chicago a number of
times.

Aside from the attraction of Mr.
Hartshorne 's magnificent table, the in-
terest centered in three vases of reds:
Robert Craig, shown by Thompson; No.
49, shown by the Chicago Carnation Co.,
and No. 55, shown by Wietor Bros. The
two numbered sorts are each fine, the
Joliet seedling showing a little stronger
stem, the Wietor entry the brighter
color, but each is a big flower, well able
to hold its own with Craig on the exhibi-

Exhibit of Jensen & Dekema at the Chicago Show.

the present instance lies in the fact that
the carnations are of a new variety
named Victory. The flowers are crim-
son colored, of considerable size, mod-
erately fragrant, and the petals are less
fringed than American varieties are
usually. Whether it is of better quality
than some varieties which have already
been imported of the same color will
have to be determined after cultivation
here. In the meantime, we could not
conceal our admiration for the excellent
grass on the stout, wiry, perfectly rigid
etems. Certainly, carnation culture is

tion table, and from what Jos. Psenicka,
foreman for Wietor Bros., says, one at
least is able to stand comparison of
growth and blooming record. Mr. Harts-
horne has not yet decided what to do
with No. 49, and Wietor Bros, will grow
No. 55 at least one year more before
selling stock of it; it is now in its third
year and they are propagating from
2,000 plants.

There were several vases of roses. Kil-
larney, staged by Weiland & Risch, was
in good shape and had many admirers
as well as some critics for, in spite of

the success which has attended the ef-
forts of several growers, there are those
who can not yet accept the verdict of
the public. It will, however, be tried
quite generally next year. A vase of
Miss Kate Moulton, from John Monson,
of the Minneapolis Floral Co., was set
up by the Chicago Rose Co. It had suf-
fered in transit, but was nevertheless to
the growers one of the most interesting
exhibits. George Field, of Washington,
sent a large vase of his La France sport,
Tom Field. The blooms were long past
their best, but showed great size, and
Wm. Laisle, Keokuk, la., sent a half
dozen flowers of a cream colored sport
from Bride, but these, too, were past
their best.

Hild Bros., Lake Forest, 111., had a
vase of pink and white stocks which
were worthy of special mention.

The Chicago Carnation Co. 's exhibit
included the following varieties, named
from left to right as shown in the ac-
companying illustration: Front row:
No. 49, red; Melody, light pink sport of
Lawson; Lady Bountiful, J. A. Valen-
tine, light pink; White Lawson, Varie-
gated Lawson, Glendale. Second row:
Delight, Prosperity markings, fine; Im-
perial, variegated, fine; Lady Bountiful,
cut before maturing, showing much pink ;
J. E. Haines, Mrs. Patten, Lieut. Peary,
Enchantress. Back row: Lawson, Car-
dinal, Harlowarden, Fiancee, fine; Sky-
rocket, Rudd's red; Prosperity.

Wietor Bros.' vases named from left
to right in the accompanying picture
were: Nelson Fisher, Enchantress, Lady
Bountiful, Estelle, No. 55, Mrs. Lawson,
Lieut. Peary, Fred Burki, White Law-
son, Harlowarden.

Anton Then staged his new Winnemac,
yellow variegated; Lady Bountiful, Car-
dinal, Lawson, White Lawson and En-
chantress.

Jensen & Dekema set up very fine
flowers of Gov. Wolcott, Mrs. Patten,
Nelson Fisher, Enchantress, Lawson and
Boston Market.

Fred Stielow staged Lorna, The Belle,
Lady Bountiful, a good light pink seed-
ling and a better dark pink one.

H. Luedtke, Maywood, brought a vase
of a rose pink sport of Enchantress.

R. Fischer, Great Neck, L. I., N. Y.,
sent Carnation Abundance and a vase of
very fine freesia, Purity.

E. F. Winterson was manager of the
show.

Qub Meeting.

On the evening of March 8 the club
held its monthly meeting, one of the best
attended of the year and one of the most
interesting. Among the visitors were R.
Will, Minneapolis; N. Zweifle, Milwau-
kee, and E. E. Petersen, Denver.

The feature of the evening was J. F.
Klimmer's relation of his experience
with the varieties of carnations grown
last year. Mr. Klimmer has a way of
putting things which makes of interest
all that he says. His remarks are printed
in full in another column of this issue
and are commended to all growers of
the carnation as the candid, unprejudiced
opinion of a good grower and a close
thinker. Mr. Klimmer was preceded by
J. D. Thompson, who told how he packs
cuttings, read his directions for treat-
ment when unpacked and expressed the
opinion that if the advice were followed
there would seldom be reason for a kick.
He made a strong plea for more scrupu-
lous business methods, branding many
, complaints he received as attempts to get
something for nothing. E. E. Petersen
said that Mr. Thompson's way of pack-

ing was doubtless good for eastern sliip-
ments, but that tor cuttings going to
Colorado more moisture is needed on ac-
count of the drying effects of the atmos-
phere.

Jas. Berry, J. S. Dekema, II. J. Stock-
man, Jos. Psenicka and C. W. McKel-
lar were elected to membership. J. S.
Wilson and F. F. Benthey reported on
the carnation show, enumerating all the
exhibits, and complimenting all the ex-
hibitors on the high quality of their
stock. On the suggestion of Jas. Harts-
home, who asked nothing for his own
splendid showing, special mention was
made of the ten weeks' stocks of Hild
Bros. A vote of thanks was given Jos.
Ziska for the use of the room for the
show. F. F. Benthey reported maMng
a new lease on the hall and sub-letting

rists' Association.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Meeting: of Board of Directors.

When Theodore Wirth reached Day-
ton, O., March 6, the full board of di-
rectors was present and all the oflioers
save Treasurer H. B. Beatty, detained
by ill health. The board continued in
session to 6 p. m. Wednesday and ac-
complished much, the general opinion be-
ing that there has never been a better
meeting.

Perhaps the most important work was
the bringing together of the local crafts-
men and getting them harmoniously at
work for a successful convention.

The fair grounds were selected for the
convention, the dates set being August
21, 22, 23 and 24.

The work of the secretary's oflSce was
reviewed. It was ordered that hereafter
the proceedings of the executive board
be published in the annual report.

The secretary was directed to proceed
to put into effect the plan of numbered
badges and identification book adopted
by the society at the Washington con-
vention.

The S. A. F. medals were placed at
the disposal of the several societies, as
in recent years.

Considerable time was given to a dis-
cussion of the proposed school textbook
and to school gardening in general, a

place for Avhich was made in tlie con-
vention program outlined.

J. H. Patterson entertained tlie com-
mittee at luncheon at "the cash register
factory and tendered the use of his
beautiful private grounds for the presi-
dent's reception during the convention.

The following was adopted:

We, the members of the executive committee
of the Society of American Florista In meeting
iissembled. state that the selection of Dayton
Ity the society as the place for the next con-
vention In August was a most fortunate in-
spiration. We are now entliuslastlc as to the
successful outcome of this convention.

A convention hall of ample size to accommo-
date all trade exhibits and to display them to
better advantage than ever before has been
secured. It Is a circular building on high
ground with large windows, nine blocks from
the center of town, insuring delightful condi-
tions at all times. Tlie surrounding ground
will display the outdoor exhibition to great
eflfect.

Dayton, located In the center of the middle
west, Is a revelation to many of the eastern
and western members. Surrounded by one of
the richest and most beautiful sections of the
country In the entire United States, agriculture,
pomology, horticulture, civic and home adorn-
ment are carried to as high a place as any-
where in the world.

The deliberations of this body were most ably
and efflciently presided over by our new presi-
dent, William F. Kastlng, and the energy and
good Judgment he has shown in these proceed-
ings will insure an Interesting and successful
convention.

The committee extends Its thanlis to the two
resident members, Messrs. Ultter and Altick,
for their energy and kindness during the ses-
sions of the committee here. It also wishes
to express Its appreciation for the kindness
shown them by John H. Patterson, whose offers
will make the convention a great success.

Our national organization Is not furthering
the interests of the commercial side of our pro-
fession alone but It Is the means of promoting
the florists', gardeners' and horticultural inter-
ests in general and In coming to Dayton we can
be of much help to all.

National Flower Show.

During the meeting of the board of
directors much thought was given to the
national flower show authorized by the
society at the Washington convention
but which could not be brought to con-
summation in 1906. It is proposed to
hold it in the spring of 1907. The
conclusions reached were as follows,
adopted by the board :

1. It is proposed to engage a man-
ager of proven ability for this show
and appoint to act with him three or
more members of the board of directors
as a finance committee, who shall au-
thorize all expenditures.

2. Your directors recommend that the
society contribute not less than $l,00o
to the expenses of such an exhibition.

3. We recommend that this show be

held in such city Avhere active interest
is taken, or in a very central part of
tlie country.

4. The preliminary premium list will
be prepared within a few weeks.

5. The leading commercial plantsmen
and florists should be asked now to com-
plete the proposed guarantee fund.

6. If the guarantee funa is completed
as proposed the board of directors will
proceed to carry forward the arrange-
ments for the show, but unless this is
done and the national interest thereby
indicated, the board will not feel justi-
fied in going forward with the work.

The committee which at Washington
undertook to secure a guarantee fund oi
$10,000 for the show, as proposed at
Boston in 1906, consists of E. G. Hill,
Robert Craig, A. Herrington, F. E. Pier-
son, A. M. Herr, W. J, Stewart, Peter
Fisher, Alex. Montgomery, W. H. Elliott,
J. C. Vaughan. This committee secured
subscriptions, which it is supposed still
stand for a 1907 show, with additiong
to March 1, 1906, as follows:

CHICAGO CLUB DOINGS.

The Carnation Show.

The < hieaeo j'lorists' (,'lub may have
had larjier t'xhdiitions than that set up
in thi' Atlas l)]ock .Ma nil S, but it is
certain that its nu'iidiers were never
|iri\ile^('d to look \\]n)n better carna-
tions. To .lames llartshorne, of tiie Clii-
caj^d Caiiiation Co., must be yiven the
j)rinci|>al measure of comnu'nd.ation for
whatever success the show made. Ills

very nearly as larye as the combijied

Wiet(U' liros. were sec(jnd in point of
extent of exhibits, Avith Jensen & De-

it Avonld be diflicult to determine who
had the best stock, and. in fact, the
judges Contented tlu'inselves with enu-
meratiii},'- the varieties and according
equal conunendatioii to all. The cuts
of all the yroweis seem to be at the very
to]) for (piality, and it was noticeable
that not a sleei)y bloom was to be seen
at the close of the show, all haviu<;
stood up jx'rfectly in the wai'ni and fie-
(jUeiitly crowded room. The showiiijf of
no\elties was a t^ood one. ,\ll the leatlers,

quite generally next year. A vase of
iMiss Kate ]\Ioulton, from John Monsou,
of the Minneapolis Floral Co., was set

fered in transit, but was nevertheless to
the growers one of the most interesting
exiiibits. George Field, of Washington,
sent a large vase of his La France sjiort,
Tom Field. The blooms were long past
their best, but showed great size, and
Win. J^aisle, Jxeokuk, la., sent a half

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Mauch 15, 1906.

Since the Dayton meeting the commit-
tee lias sent ont another call for sub-
scriptions.

Outdoor Trade Display.

The executive committee of the Society
of American Florists has arranged for
an outdoor trade display in connection
with the annual convention to be held
in Dayton, O., next August. The pa-
vilion in which the meetings and cus-
tomary trade exhibit will be held is ad-
vantageously situated in a large fair
ground which is well adapted for out-
door j)lanting. Plans and diagrams are
being prepared and will shortly be dis-

tributed. In the meantime the secre-
tary would like to hear from parties
who are disposed to take advantage ot
this excellent opportunity to make a dis-
play of hardy or tender material in a
community widely interested in the sub-
ject of garden adornment. Applications
are already in hand for large spaces for
the exhibition of cannas, Baby Rambler
roses, phloxes, asters, hydrangeas, tuber-
ous begonias, althaeas and fancy coni-
fers. As the time is short for the prepa-
ration of the ground and planting, a
prompt response to this announcement is
urged. Information sheets and entry
blanks will soon be ready.

Wm. J. Stewart, Sec'y.

Smilax or asparagus, when in bloom,
is especially inviting for a shower bou-
quet. Less ribbon and flowers are
needed while these dainty flowers dot the
vines.

Wash off some fine specimens of Dutch
hyacinths in bloom and replant into a
rose bowl or fish globe with pebbles and
shells. Add a cyperus, also cleared of
the soil, and set among a table or win-
dow of the same plants potted.

One * ' different ' ' arrangement will
often go far toward establishing a rep-
utation. Gertrude Blair.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Speaking of centerpieces, try two or
three cyclamens of good size in full
bloom, white or white with violet tints
as a center. Remove from the pots and
bed into sphagnum. Fill in the rest of
the space of the frame Avith sphagnum
and cover with sheet moss or ferns laid
flat. Stem long-stemmed single or double
violets in groups of five or six to half a
matchstick and fill around the cyclamens
with plenty of violet foliage and some
fluffy green to fall out on the table.
The group of violets surrounded by their
own foliage will resemble violet plants
in bloom and the whole piece will be a
fresher suggestion than all cut flowers
could ever be.

Another favorite centerpiece is com-
posed of all green except the border.
Sharpen three or four dozen Sprengeri
sprays and set in a group in the middle
of the centerpiece, in sphagnum. Let
the sprays fall outwards, towards and
over the edge. Stem spring flowers and
dot around the edge through the green,
not very thickly. Sweet peas, tulips,
carnations, half blown roses, violets and
freesias are all good for this purpose.

At another time set in a good gen-
erous group of some of the interesting
narcissus family or two or three kinds
together, Von " Sion, poeticus. Golden
Spur, Incomparabilis and jonquils, and
plant a heavy border of Sprengeri all
around, covering the edge. A cluster
of white or purple lilacs with a few
poeticus interspersed would make a good
combination. Richmond or Liberty
roses and poeticus are good, also.

In some such situation use Azalea
mollis and deep violet Dutch hyacinths,
having the hyacinths planted and the
azaleas cut. A liberal use of feathery
green, preferably asparagus, will be the
best for additional foliage.

White lilacs and shades and tints of
violet Dutch hyacinths make a pleasing
combination for a funeral spray. The
hyacinths furnish the richness and mass
to the spray, while the lilacs lighten and
touch up the outline. This style of spray
should have heavy, large ferns for a
background.

Use nothing fancy, fussy or compli-
cated for funeral work. If two kinds of
flowers, or two colors of one flower, let

the tie match the lighter color. If the
spray be of one kind and color of flower,
it is in good taste to introduce another
harmonious color in the tie. For a spray
of Enchantress carnations try a tie of
nile green chiffon or Florida moss. This
green is also suitable for white or light
tints and crimson. For a large cluster
requiring a wide tie, put chiffon over a
satin ribbon of the same width and much
darker shade. Once in a while throw
one of the flowers used in the spray
back over the tie or draw it down tight
into the knot.

The chiffons will not bear tying as
ribbon will. Catch the loops and bows
in place with the hand, fasten them in
place with baby ribbon and tie around
the stem with the same, leaving all the
chiffon flying over the stems.

A WILCOX WORK.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph taken at Council Bluffs,
la., of a funeral piece made by J. F.
Wilcox for the obsequies, at Dubuque, of
David B. Henderson, formerly speaker
of the House of Representatives. The
piece was a token of esteem from the
Iowa delegation in Congress and was or-
dered by Senator Allison by wire. The
nature of the piece was left entirely to
Mr. Wilcox.

The design chosen was a crescent
wreath on a base and was seven feet
high and fiv6 feet in width. Across the
top extended a graceful crescent wreath
of Bride and Bridesmaid roses, lilies of
the valley and asparagus. Below and in-
side of the wreath was a large panel of
green, embedded in which was a flag
composed of red and white carnations
for the stripes, while stars composed of
lilies of the valley shone from a deep
blue field of violets. Beside the flag
was a gavel of Enchantress carnations.
A long bow of black silk ribbon hung
from the handle of the gavel. Below the
panel was a base of galax leaves, calla
lilies and Bride roses.

Mr. Wilcox went personally to Du-
buque to see the piece safely delivered
and was pleased that it was easily the
most striking set piece among one of the
largest displays of funeral flowers ever
seen in the west.

MULCHING.

As the season advances when we may
expect a longer duration of sunshine
and of more intensity, we should, in
order to take care of the feeding roots
which will now incline to approach the
surface, and also to supply those ele-
ments which have become exhausted,
renew the supply so that the stock may
have a store at hand to furnish nour-
ishment to the spring growth which is
now due.

The essential elements are nearly all
found in their proper proportions in a
mulch consisting of two-thirds decom-
posed cow manure and one-third good,
fresh, fibrous loam. This should be well
pulverized and thoroughly incorporated
and spread on the bench about one to
one and one-half inches deep.

Great benefit can be derived by giving
the bench a sprinkling of bone meal pre-
vious to applying the mulch.

As the mulch has a tendency to absorb
moisture, giving the bench a wet appear-
ance, it is well to make a daUy exami-
nation of the soil, as often the soil may
be very dry while the mulch is wet.

With the increase of sunshine we will
also have an increase of insect pests and
care should be taken that those spring

broods find no resting place. A weekly
fumigation if eflSciently performed will
keep greenfly and thrips in check and
as our opportunities of using the syringe
are more numerous we can easily master
red spider.

A sharp lookout should also be kept
for mildew, especially among young
stock, as a dose of mildew has a very
<ieterr(Mit effect on growth. Painting
the pipes once a week with the sulphur
mixture and using sulphur in the pow-
der form will hold this in check, espe-
cially if the stock has been cool grown
and ventilation properly practiced.

CARRYING OVER IVORY ROSES.

Will you inform me whether you
would advise planting Ivory the seconu
year? These plants were grown on u
side bench and were badly shaded by a
center bed of chrysanthemums in their
season, which were early planted and
grew very tall. The Ivory did not do
much until the past six weeks. They
are now throwing up a fine lot of canes.
J. H.

Replanting one-year-old stock is al-
ways more precarious anu more subject
to failure than handling young, vigorous
stock. Eequiring more skill and care
to insure success, I have refrained from
advising this method of culture.

To insure success these plants should
be partially rested before transplanting
and after planting they should be thor-
oughly soaked and the temperature kept
as near 56 degrees as possible for a
week or so, until root action recom-
mences. After the first soaking they
should be allowed to run medium dry,
keeping the syringe going every bright
day, which will usually supply all the
moisture needed until the eyes begin to
break, when the temperature can be
raised to 58 degrees at night and more
ventilation given. Ribes.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

A paper on "Soluble Fertilizers," by
Dudley Malcolm Pray, of the Eastern
Chemical Co., has been added to the
program of the Boston meeting of the
Rose Society since its publication last
week.

THE GARDEN ROSES.

[A paper by Nell McCallum. read before the
rutslnirg and Allegheny Florists' Club, March
<i, 1!VI6.]

The rose has been immortalized by the
most ancient authors. Homer's allu-
sions to the rose in the Hiad and Odyssey
are among the earliest mentions we
have. Mr. Paul, in his Rose Garden,
gives a translation from the Greek poet-
ess, Sappho, who lived 600 B. C. ; it is:

AVould Jove appoint some flower to reign
In matchless beauty on the plain.
The Rose (mankind will all agree) —
The Kose the queen of flowers should be.

Historians tell us that those luxurious
persons, Cleopatra and Nero, spent im-
mense sums of money for roses and rose
petals to strew on the floors and seats
of their banquet halls. Pliny also tells
us that it is necessary to move the earth
to a depth of two feet in their culti-
vation. Coming down to modern times,
Dr. Lindley says the pharmaoopaia
could be formed of the rose family
alone; and Sir E. Christison tells that
it takes 100,000 roses, the product of
10,000 bushes of the Damask rose, to
yield 180 grains of attar of roses. The
Damask rose is parent of the hybrid tea

roses of to-day ; it was brought to Eu-
rope from Syria by one of the crusad-
ers returning from the holy wars.

Roses will do fairly well in almost
any soil, providing it is not a wet, or
a loose, sandy one; of course the ideal
soil is a deep, strong loam and a shel-
tered position with an exposure to the
morning sun shaded from the fierce rays
of the noonday sun. A stiff clay land
can be helped by draining and working
in long stable manure, decayed leaves,
sand and ashes and a sandy or gravelly
earth by the addition of cow manure,
clay, or stiff loam, but any ground which
will grow good cabbage will also grow
good roses.

Best Season for Planting.

The best season for planting the har-
dier roses is the late fall, but the more
tender teas should be left until early
spring. It often happens when you un-
pack your roses from a distant nursery
that you discover the bark all shriveled ;
it is a good plan to bury them com-
pletely, at least six inches below the sur-
face, give the ground a good soaking,
and leave so for a couple or three days
to plump up again. In planting budded
or grafted plants, the point of union
should be at least two inches below the
surface, so that they may eventually be-
come own root plants. In pruning, first
cut out all decayed, crowded or weak
growths, then shorten back as required,
observing the rule that delicate and
weak growers should be pruned severely,
and strong and vigorous growers pruned
very lightly. The rose chafer is a tfou-

j blesome pest when he conios, as hand
picking and destroying by coal oil, fire,
or crushing is the only remedy for him;
for other insects a solution of whale oil
soap applied with a syringe will prove
effectual in ridding the plants.

Many Ways to Use Roses.

There are many ways in which roses
can be used to produce decorative effects
outdoors, as dwarf plants in beds, as
climbers on walls, porches or arches, as
pillars, in large, isolated clumps, as a
hedge or dividing line, as an edging to
other shrubs, or to carpet banks and
slopes.

j Take, first, roses as dwarf plants in
I beds; such varieties as Hermosa, Marie
j Van Houtte, Madam Lambert, La
France, Homer, Malmaison, Perle des
Jardins, and the old Agrippina are bet-
ter than the stronger H. P. 's, which are
good as masses; such sorts as Baroness
Rothschild, Mabel Morrison, Merville
de Lyon, Rev. J. B. Camm, Louis Van
Houtte, Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Alfred
Colomb, Marshall P. Wilder, Marie
liaumman, Margaret Dickson, Gloire de
Margottin, Francois Michelon, Fisher
Holmes and Mrs. John Laing being glo-
rious during their flowering season.

The rugosa hybrids are grand and use-
ful roses for hedges or screens, lovely in
foliage, flowers and fruit, and hard as
nails in constitution. The Wichuraiana
and its hybrids are splendid as edgings
and to cover banks or ugly places. The
rambler varieties, with prairie roses and
climbing hybrid remontants and teas

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

March 15, 1906.

Dijon, W. Allen Richardson, Jules Mar-
gottin, Glory of Cheshunt, Victor Ver-
dier, liessie Johnson, are magnificent as
pillars, on arches, walls, or porches.
Dean Hole says we should have in our
gardens, ' ' Beds of roses, bowers of
roses, hedges of roses, pillars of roses,
arches of roses, fountains of roses,
baskets of roses, vistas and alleys of the
rose. ' '

THE COAL STRIKE.

Every day it becomes more certain
that there will be a general strike of
coal miners on April 1. The commit-
tees of operators and miners seem to
find no common ground. If anything,
each day's developments show the em-
ployers and their workmen to be far-
ther and farther apart. The miners'
union wants an eight-hour day and an
advance of about ten per cent in wages.
The operators say that the promises made
at the time the nine-hour day was

granted have not been made good in that
production has not been as great in a
nine-hour day as it was in ten. There
are various other points at issue, none
of which will the employers concede.

It is apparent that the railroads and
large employers of labor and consumers
of fuel anticipate a protracted struggle.
The railroads are storing coal as fast as
they can procure it. Where they have
no other facilities they are simply dump-
ing it on the open ground in the yards.

A great many florists have taken time
by the forelock and put in a suflScient
amount of coal to at least last them so
long as fires will be needed this season.
Any who have not done so would be wise
to lose no time. Prices are stiffening
every day and will take a big jump as
soon as the strike is declared. If the
struggle is long continued the prices
will not be lower, if, indeed, it is possi-
ble to procure fuel, before fires are
needed in the fall.

A Chapter on Orchids.

Many florists have been tempted to try
a few orchids, and most likely the one
selected will be the useful and beautiful
cattleyas. In fact, the great majority
of our patrons, when they speak of an
orchid, have no other flower in mind,
and would not recognize a cypripedium
or oncidium as an orchid. It is cattleyas
that are wanted.

As they are natives of northern Brazil
and Venezuela and adjacent tropical
countries, it is evident they must in
their native and natural state be ex-
posed to the tropical suns, a high tem-
perature, yet plenty of fresh air. A
writer on these lovely orchids says a
cattleya house should have ventilation
top and bottom, but I have found that
plenty of top ventilation will do. A light
shading is necessary when the young
pseudo-bulbs are growing.

Shifting the Cattleyas.

Shortly after flowering, when the
plants are dormant, is the time to do
any shifting, cleaning or fixing up with
fresh material, so it is rather late now
to disturb C. labiata or any species that
flowers in early winter, but if growth
has not started it can still be done. For
those fine species Trianaj and Perci-
valiana it is just the time.

Where large quantities are grown the
board system is still largely in vogue,
but they can be grown equally as well,
if not as cheaply, in wooden baskets or
ordinary flower pots.

When removing worn out or decayed
peat or moss from the surface or among
the roots is a good time to thoroughly
clean the bulbs of scale or other insects
with which they may be infested. If
the roots are loose on the boards or in
the baskets they should be securely fas-
tened with wire, for if the plant can
sway about the roots will constantly be
disturbed and poor results must follow.
Experts lay great stress on this, and that
the peat used in covering and between

the roots should be firmly packed. I am
supposing you know all about the liberal
amount of drainage that these orchids
require. If they thrive and grow wired
to a flat board, with only a thin medium
of peat and moss for their roots, it is
evident they do not need much depth
for their roots. This is the case with
all the orchids known as epiphytal, or
growing in the forks of trees, while
terrestrial orchids, like cypripediums,
make roots down into the compost of
the pots.

Peat and Temperature.

One well known grower says * ' too
much stress cannot be laid on soft
peat. ' ' By that he means that what is
used as peat with us is often like a bunch
of wire, hard roots that will absorb no
moisture and, therefore, cannot give it
i)S again to the benefit of the orchid
roots. Our peat is mostly all the tough
fibrous roots of some of our strong grow-
ing native ferns, Osmunda regalis, and
others. If too coarse and wiry it is not
suitable for the orchids, so choose the
more tender and younger pieces that will
pack in closely around the roots and
then cover the surface with live sphag-
num moss. When the moss gets old
and lifeless it is useless to the orchids;
when it is green and growing it is a
pretty sure indication that your orchids
are doing well.

When making their bulbs they should
be given a warm, moist atmosphere and
an abundant supply of water. After the
new bulbs have matured, and until new
breaks appear, less water is needed and
more air and sunlight can be given.
From 55 to 70 degrees night temperature
is most desirable, the latter when they
fire in active growth, the former from
the time the new bulb is matured until
they break into growth again after
flowering.

A cattleya out of flower is by no
means an ornamental plant except to the
real gardener, who enjoys to see his
charge in perfect health. Don't cut off

any old pseudo-bulbs, however old they
may be, unless they have turned black.
If they are green they are sending down
the vital force that forms new roots and
the growth.

Now, Mr. Craig and Mr. Orpet, don't
criticise me too harshly if I have made
mistakes. I am' much more at home in a
carnation house than an orchid collec-
tion, but for every one of my readers
who knows more about the commercial
orchids than does the writer, there are
ten who know almost nothing.

Coelogyne Cristata.

Ccelogyne cristata, the most useful of
the genus, has been much used the last
few weeks. It is one of the few white
orchids and figured largely in Miss
Roosevelt's wedding bouquet, made by
Mr. Blackistone, whom all the sports in
the trade will remember as the able
manager of the shooting tournament at
Washington, which is a further proof of
what I have always insisted must be the
case: To be a successful florist or art-
ist, or even bishop, you must also be a
sport, or at least love sport and games,
even if you have to curb them to suit
conventional ideas.

The ccelogyne is a very easily managed
orchid and a most profuse bloomer. This
is the season of flowering, ana when that
is over is the time to repot or divide
your stock. They are best grown in
pans. Their bulbs, which much more re-
semble a bulb than do the so-called
pseudo-bulbs of the cattleya, are formed
in thick clusters, and, as they need a
great amount of water in their growing
season, they should not be grown on
blocks. Fill the pan almost full of clean
broken crocks. The compost, in addition
to fibrous peat and sphagnum, should
have some fibrous loam, sod from a pas-
ture with the soil or loam well shaken
out, also some broken-up charcoal. Let
the roots rest on an inch of this compost
and be well surrounded with the same
material. Keep the plants shaded and
frequently sprayed after shifting or di-
viding for a few weeks.

Their growing season is from April on
through the summer, and until the ma-
ture bulb is formed give them copious
waterings and frequent spraying. When
the bulb is matured less water is needed,
but never so dry that the new bulb
shrivels during the winter months. They
do very well in any ordinary greenhouse
where the temperature does not go below
45 degrees, and they flower well in a
temperature of 55 degrees, so at least no
special house is needed for this' pretty
orchid. It has been the fad with \is of
late, when supplying a bunch of 100 vio-
lets, to have it crowned with a flower ot
cattleya or spray of ccelogyne.

Stage of Easter Stock.

Questions are coming in as follows:
"How early should lilies be to be in
flower at Easter." Lilies should now be
showing their buds so that you can
plainly count them. If not, I consider
them late. They will come fast now, as
well as endure a high temperature.

Hydrangeas should plainly show their
flowers. Hybrid roses should be just
about so you can feel their buds in the
top of their growth, and the Crimson
Rambler should be sending out the small
cluster of buds free of the foliage.

PROnTABLE PUBLICITY.

Following the discussion which took
place at the Washington convention of
the S. A. F., the National Council of
Horticulture at its meeting at Cleveland
last fall determined to go ahead with a
plan to profit all forms of horticultural
activity by supplying the newspapers of
the country with sane matter pertaining
to plants and gardening, giving particu-
lar attention to the home gardening en-
thusiasm, which was the most noticeable
feature in the development of our trade
in the past year. Leading firms were
invited to contribute $10 each to a fund
to defray the initial expense, and a sum
realized sufficient to the needs of the
moment. At the Chicago meeting in
January plans were perfected and last
week proof sheets of three short articles
were mailed to nearly a thousand news-
papers. The favor with which the mat-
ter is meeting is shown by the accom-
panying etching showing the use the Chi-
cago Tribune made of the articles in its
issue of March 12. The heading is of
course the Tribune's, but floriats, nur-
serymen and seedsmen throughout the
country will note the same matter ap-
pearing in their local papers.

H. C. Irish, of the Missouri Botanic
Garden, St. Louis, is secretary of the
National Council of Horticulture and
has charge of the press bureau. He
franes up the matter and turns it over
to James Burdette, who is the press
agent for the Horticultural Society of
Chicago, who sees to its distribution to
the press. The success which has at-
tended the first articles, which have al-
ready been given millions of circulation,
insures the further development of the
series. Prof. Irish would be glad to
have suggestions from any one as to fu-
ture articles. The number which can
be used is necessarily limited, and it is
desired to make each one as good as pos-
sible. Write out your ideas and send
tliem to Prof. Irish.

Many editors have responded to the
inquiry of the council . and expressed
themselves as only too glad to have the
matter. It is planned to send the same
matter to only one paper in a town, and
it is hoped to in time get the work on a
-self-supporting basis, but for the time
being all expenses must be paid by sub-
scription. If any one cares to help, his
assistance will be welcome. Address
Prof. Irish.

The intention is to have the matter
broadly helpful — to encourage garden-
ing. No private axes will 1)p ground.
First of all the matter sent out will
be accurate, truthful. There will be
none of the fantastic tales at which we
have all felt so many times mingled feel-
ings of amusement and regret. To se-
cure publication, the matter must be in-
teresting. To achieve its end it must be
actually helpful. To accomplish the best
results it must be kept up. It is no
small task for the few men at the helm.
They will appreciate the assistance of all
those in a position to profit by the rapid
increase in the popular love for plants
and flowers.

Catskili., N. Y. — Trade has been
about twenty-five per cent better than
last year, with a bright outlook for
Easter. Henry Hansen will erect an-
other new house this coming summer,
making a total of eight he has put up
since starting in business seven years
ago.

NATURAL GAS.

Referring to the query of G. P. S. in
the Eeview for February 22, he can use
natural gas in his boiler without any
• langer whatever. 1 have used it in a
sectional return flue boiler for eight
years witli the best of results. Our
boiler was located in the center of the
l)lant. All that is necessary is to see
that the piping is clone carefully, so
(here are no leak.s in the line" leading
to the boiler. We have experimentetl
with various burners. If G. P. S. has to
pay by meter rate, it would be well to
carefully select his burner and mixer.
But if on flat rates, simply take a 2-
ineh pipe, cut the lengths to suit the
fire-box — two pieces connected in the
shape of a U, with three rows of holes
drilled an inch apart and three-six-
teenths of an inch in size. Cover the
grate bars with sheet-iron and bricks.
If G. P. S. wishes further information
will gladly give same by letter. S. H.

NATURAL GAS VERSUS COAL.

I f natural gas can be obtained at 30
cents per thousand feet, how docs it
i(iin[)are in cost with hard coal, hauling
included, at about $5.25 per ton? My
boiler is for hard coal. The piping
from the main would be about seventy
f'tct to the greenhouses. My expenses
1(1 • coal run from $150 to $170 per year.

M. B.

' It is estimated that 30,000 cubic feet
of gas is equivalent in heat producing
! power 'to one ton of the best anthracite
i (oal. That would make 30-cent gas as
\ f.\pcnsive as coal at $3 per ton. To
i ofl'sot this the gas-heating furnace will
iVrequiro little or no attention. There will
be no ashes to clean out and no coal to
be handled. The value of these offsets
must be considered in judging between
vuid and gas. If you can get the gas
at 20 cents it would be a decided advan-
tntrt, but it is doubtful if you could
make it pay at 30 cents unless it saves
the wages of a night fireman, which it
does iiot if voii use hard coal.

Y^etable Forcing.

A GROWER for the London market
writes that "the beautiful little Golden
Queen lettuce is pre-eminently the one
for frame culture among cabbage vari-
eties during the winter and early spring
months, and until such time as lettuce
can be obtained from the open borders.
It is of a light straw color, without
the least suspicion of coarseness in the
leaves, and practically the whole plant is
fit for salad. It is a variety that hearts
quickly, and it may be said to be all
heart, firm and solid, almost like a
ball. The plants are also most even in
growth. ' '

VEGETABLE MARKETS.

PLANTING TOMATOES.

We have in our greenhouse a solid bed
six feet two inches wide. We wish to
plant with tomatoes. Could we plant
three rows of plants in the bed, "stag-
gering" them, or would they be too
close? How far apart should they bet
W. C.

Your room is pretty limited for three
rows, but I believe you can accommo-
date that number by planting as you
suggest and allowing eighteen inches be-
tween the plants in the rows. By train-
ing to single stem, suflScient light ought
to reach the center row to give it a fair
show. As a rule we plant fourteen inches
apart, but at this distance in your case
the center row would be too much shad-
ed. W. S. Croydon.

MUSHROOMS UNDER GLASS.

I have a range of six houses; five,
20x100 feet and one 30x60 feet, at pres-
ent occupied with roses, carnations and
miscellaneous plants. These houses wih
have to be torn down and rebuilt in an-
other year; in fact, owing to their con-
dition, we ought not to have used them
this winter as the sash bars are decaying
and the glass slipping. The windy
weather has caused us a great deal of
trouble this winter in maintaining a safe
temperature. I have decided not to op-
erate the plant another winter for plants
and cut flowers, and will not be ready
to rebuild until the spring of 1907. I
am trying to decide on the best use to
which to put these houses the coming
year. I shall fill most of the houses with
chrysanthemums this coming summer, as
we were very successful with them the
past year. I wondered if mushrooms
would not be the best crop to grow to
follow chrvsanthemums.

Would the following plan be practi-
cal ? I thought of covering the entire
glass surface with muslin or cloth, treat-
ed with some waterproof solution. It
occurred to me this would insure the
houses being tight, would prevent any
drip and would keep the houses warm.
I would plant the spawn in the regular
carnation and rose beds. The muslin
might be made more opaque by means of
some coloring matter, thus excluding the
light. The houses are heated by steam.
Now, will some one versed in mushroom
culture tell me if this plan is practi-
cal? H. G. W.

I don't see why your plan shouldn't
work. Would tar paper not be better
than muslin? It would serve the pur-
pose as regards keeping out wet and cold
better and also give you the necessary
darkness. Darkness is not absolutely
necessary to the growth of mushrooms,
but when exposed to light they have a
darker color and don't take the market
so well. I would not think that the dif-
ference in cost would be much between
the two materials. W. S, Croydon.

hausted, what brand of commercial guano
is the best and where can it be bought?

W. E. B.

There are several brands of commer-
cial guano made, but I don't think it
would be quite fair to recommend here any
one brand over another. Probably you
might get some information among your
intimate friends; if not, try two or three
of the brands and prove them for your-
self. Most seed stores of any size han-
dle it, and there are several companies
which sell this line of goods, some of
which will no doubt have agents some-
where in your locality.

DESTRUCTION OF ANTS' NESTS.

The following method of destroying
ants' nests with bisulphide of carbon is
recommended: Make a hole eight to
twelve inches deep in the nest, or two
linlcs if the nest be very large, by means

of a stick or iron bar. Pour into these
holes two ounces of bisulphide of car-
bon, and immediately cover the holes
with earth. The bisulphide of carbon
will vaporize, and its fumes will kill the
ants. The work should be carried out
at night or towards the close of the
day, but under np circumstances must a
naked light be brought near the bisul-
phide of carbon or an explosion will
occur. Care must also be taken by the
operator not to breathe the fumes, and
if these two points be borne in mind the
use of the material is both safe and
effective. If an ants' nest should be
found alongside a valuable plant, the
bisulphide of carbon must be applied so
that the liquid does not touch the roots
of the plant.

SEA CLIFF, N. Y.

Death of F. Boulon.

On March 6 pneumonia claimed the
life of Ferdinand Boulon, one of the
best known men in the trade on Long
Island. Mr. Boulon was born in France
in 1841. At an early age he entered the
nurseries of Andre Leroy, at Angers.
Later he for a time had charge of some
of the noted places in his native country.
After working for a short period at his
profession in Africa and in Europe, in-
cluding the establishment of Van Houtte
in Belgium, he came to the United States
in 1881, starting in business at Home-
stead, N. J. Later he took charge of
Dosoris, the famous estate of Charles A.
Dana.

In 1884 Mr. Boulon purchased prop-
erty at Sea Cliff, L. I., and there found-
ed the Sea Cliff Nurseries. The estab-
lishment now includes fifteen green-
houses. Mr. Boulon planned and laid
out many of the beautiful estates in that
locality. Mr. Boulon was an expert
plantsman. He was famed for many
specialties, and as a violet grower had
few equals.

Mr. Boulon leaves a widow, two sons,
Ferdinand, the junior member of the
firm, and Paul; and one daughter.

CHICAGO PREMIUM LIST.

The preliminary list of premiums for
the annual autumn exhibition of the
Horticultural Society of Chicago has
been issued. Incorporated with it is
the calendar oi the exhibition. The
most notable change is that a six-day
exhibition is provided for, opening on
Monday and closing Saturday night> To
carry a show for such a time it has been
necessary to arrange the premium list for
fresh exhibits for each o-y; otherwise
the show would not only wane in inter-
est but the condition of the exhibits in
the later days would be anything but at-
tractive.

Last year's great financial success has
emboldened the society to add consider-
ably to the premium list, the total sum
carried being close to $5,000. In a large
number of classes something has been
added to the premiums and in many
cases they have been much enhanced in
value. There are four classes for 100
blooms of chrysanthemums, with three
premiums, aggregating $100 in each
class. The rose premiums have been in-
creased. For 100 Beauties premiums of
$100, $75, $50 and $25 are offered. For
100 Liberty or Richmond the sums are
$35, $25 and $12. Other classes for
100 will receive $25, $12 and $8. Vases
of 100 Beauties arranged for effect wil>

WITH THE GROWERS.

Jensen & Dekema, Chicago.

The firm of Jensen & Dekema is one
which has in a very brief period made
its mark in the trade and which may be
looked upon as likely to attain a leading
place. The senior member of the firm,
J. E. Jensen, is only 27 years of age,
and his partner is one year his junior.
They are skilled growers, conservative in
all their dealings and the owners of a
very well kept establishment of approxi-
mately 50,000 feet of glass. There are j
six houses, five of them 25x266 feet; the i
other 30x266. As shown in the accom- [
panying illustration only half of the
houses appear, the view being shut oft"
by the boiler shed. The plant is new,
the houses having been built within the
past two or three years. All the space
is given to carnations, the bulk of the
product being shipped directly to re-
tailers, not only at Chicago, but through
the country. The quality of the stock
is of the very best, but there is a small
surplus, consigned to the J. B. Deamud
Co. A large business is done in rooted
cuttings, very much more than the firm
hoped for when a start was made, a little
over a year ago.

Lawson, Lady Bountiful, Enchantress,
Xelson Fisher and Boston Market are
the varieties most heavily grown. Next
year Victory will be added to the list,
about the only novelty to be grown in
quantity, it being the evident opinion
that this is the best red in sight. Mr.
Jensen gives it as his opinion that in a
short time the big four among carna-

tions will be Aristocrat, Winsor, White
Enchantress and Beacon. He says that
it looks to him as though with these
varieties the carnation growers should
have about all they need wish for except
a good yellow.

J. E. Jensen was born in Viborg, Den-
mark, August 23, 1878. At 14 he en-
tered upon a four years' apprenticeship
embracing all branches of horticulture,
after which he started out to see a little
of the world. After a short experience
in Germany he landed in liOndon and
spent a few months each in a number
of t!ie leading establishments, arriving
at New York March 17, 1899. His first
employment in this country was with
Hugo Book, Worcester, Mass.

After a brief time he decided to make
carnation growing a specialty, and se-
cured a position with Peter Fisher, Ellis,
Mass., where he remained for nearly two
years and a half, making such good prog-
ress in the art that tiie last year and a
half was spent in the capacity of fore-
man. This was at the time Enchantress
was disseminated, and Mr. Jensen went
west to enter the employ of the Thomp-
son Carnation Co., Joliet, of which es-
tablishment he was in full charge for
almost three years, leaving there Feb-
ruary ], 1905. After a trip to the Pa-
cific coast Mr. Jensen formed his present
partnership with Mr. Dekema. ^Ir. Jen-

BOSTON FERNS.

Louis Wittbold, secretary of the
George Wittbold Co., Chicago, states
that his firm has been obliged to buy
from Review advertisers in the present
season over $4,000 worth of Boston ferns
to supply the demand after their own
large 'stock of this old favorite variety
was exhausted. There is usually a time
in the autumn when Bostons are pushing
for a market, because of crowded houses,
but before spring a stock of Bostons
becomes excellent property. The Witt-

: bold Co. says that the introduction of
the several new varieties of nephrolepis

I which have appeared in recent years has

! not in the least affected the sale of
Bostons; that on the contrary the old

i variety continues to grow in popularity
and in the past year the call for it has
been heavier than ever before. The
Wittbold Co. will devote more space to
Bostons this season than ever before
and hopes to have stock enough for next

! year to supply all demands made upon

! them. They say the call is principally

i for plants of medium size.

March 15, 1906.

at all. My foreman differs from me in
regard to lime and 1 would like to have
your opinion. Also, would you continue
to add lime to soil pile, etc.? L. E.

i'rofessor Lindley in his Theory of
Horticulture says that ' ' where lime is
mixed with decaying matter it hastens
its decomposition and renders it more
easily assimilated by plants. This is
its chief horticultural value, if regarded
as a manure. To some plants, such as
many conifers, rhododendrons, heaths,
etc., it is injurious. To others it appears
to be an indispensable article of food,
such as potatoes, barley, peas, etc. ' '

Although lime itself is thus apparently
a necessary element in the food of many
plants, it is more e.specially valuable in
soils by rendering other constituents val-
uable and reducing them to a state in
which they may be absorbed and assimi-
lated.

in applying lime to soil some caution
is necessary, as it possesses the impor-
tant property of setting free the am-
monia contained tlierein, which is one of
the indispensable couHtituents of plant
food. Some limes contain a very large
proportion of magnesia, which, absorb-
ing carbonic acid very slowly, remains
in a caustic state, to the injury of the
roots of the plants. TJnie rubbish is the
old mortar and plaster obtained from
old buildings and is an excellent manure,
abounding with salts of potash and lime.
It should be reduced to powder before
using. R.

THE READERS' CORNER.

More About Price Cutting.

1 was especially interested in tiie com-
ments on price cutting in your issue ot
March 1, as one firm of this city has
a bad attack of the same fell disease.
They have been at it for several weeks
now but the rest of us are all ho.vang
to our usual standard of j)rices, which
is fully double theirs. One member of
the firm is reported to have made the
statement that they intended to put at
least one store out of business; but so
far we are all at our respective stands
and, to the best of my knowledge, are
all eating three meals per day as here-
tofore. I may add that one member ot
the firm is a retired Congregational min-
ister, and another is a deacon, so it may
welf be that they are actuated by feel-
ings of charity, especially in regard to
putting their competitors out of bus!
ness. Way Ot't We.st.

GALAX LEAVES,

(ialax ajiliylla is well known as a use-
ful plant for moist nooks at the base
of a rock garden, and we often see it
exhibited in collections of hardy plants.
Yet, as far as 1 know, no attempt has
been made to cultivate it in the British
Isles for its leaves, says a writer in the
Horticultural Advertiser. It seems to me
that in suitable positions it should pay
to grow for its leaves, which are now
so much in use by florists. The foliage
we now get in tlie market conies from
America, and after traveling lasts longer
than most English foliage that is used.
We get the deep bronzy reddish brown
leaves, also some with a bright green
Biirf ace ; the latter are probably grown in
the shade, while those with the bronzy
tint may be grown where they are fully
exposed to the sun. I have recently noted
wreaths, crosses, etc., with the bases
made up entirely of the galax leaves,

with a few flowers standing upon one
portion only. I find the leaves are also
extensively used for garnishing fruit
dishes, etc. Although I have seen it
with fairly good bronzy foliage in this
country, the leaves have not been so
large and bright as those from Amer-
ica. The slender spikes of pure white
flowers are very pretty. Another name
by which it is sometimes known is
Blandfordia cordata. It is a native of
(Jarolina, and was introduced into this
country in 1786.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The market had many ups and downs,
with the downs in the lead, during the
past week. A miniature blizzard Satur-

fill,'' was the only reminder of March
ll' eighteen years ago. Some of the old
fellows remember it, but it is wonderful
how the new generation is developing in
the wholesjile section. There is room for
all in this rapidly growing metropolis
and the veterans still hold their own.
Some of them have been here for over
thirty years, several of them twenty.

With so much liuilding going on
around us, what will the growers do to
dispose of the outjiut? They build and
Idiild until one may safely say of build-
ing there is no end. Immense houses,
too, some of them. Two up at Scar-
lioro, of the U-bar kind, fifty-five feet
wide, are going up soon for the F. H.
I'iersoii Co., inspired doubtless by the
Winsor carnation. T'|) the Hudson, at
Khinebeck es])ecially, coming events cast
their shadows, and as long as the soil
holds out you may as well reckon on
fifty n(>w greenhouses yearly right in the
\ iolet section.

Speaking of violets, last week was a
stunner. The best of them at times fell
to 40 cents, and as to the left-overs, it
seems a shame to put the curbstone
merchants in competition with the legiti-
mate stores and let them have the goods
at $1 per thousand, doesn't it? And yet
tiiat is better than the ash can, for every
flower does its silent work in behalf of
the public taste for the beautiful in na-
ture.

Lent is quite a menace this year; more

so than usual. It seems as though the
more religion one has, the more flowers
he should have in his home! This sack-
cloth-and-ashes business I don't believe
in. Some day Lent will go out of
fashion.

This fine, clear weather will help the
Beauties — if not in value, in quantity.
Bare as the market was last week, few
flowers went above 50 cents. Some of
the finest I saw over at hicks & Craw-
buck's, in Brooklyn, and 50 cents was
top. I won't be surprised to see them
40 cents everywhere before this week .is
over.

Carnations are very abundant and the
price is lower, though finer stock never
reached the ISIew York market. Of bul-
bous stock there is no limit. Lucky some
of the wholesale stores and ice boxes are
so large. Pretty soon everybody will
have to have one like that of Ford Bros.,
as big as a house. •

Wliat an Easter this is going to be.
Everybody is expectant and hopeful.
The plantsmen are all grandly stocked
and buyers are already placing orders.

Lilies are coming fast. One would
imagine Easter here to see them. Stock
looks excellent and promises well. Lit-
tle disease and little loss in any of the
big houses around New York. What's
tlie use of talking of bulbous stock ; It
talks for itself on every side. In every
window there is enough and to spare.

Saturilay was a fine day among the
retailers, a sort of evening up for the
week by Providence, with plenty of din-
ners and funerals to make them all con-
tented.

Qub Meeting.

At the meeting of the Florists' Club
March 12 business was expedited in be-
half of the great program in store. Thir-
teen new members were elected and six
were nominated. Mr. O'Mara referred to
his visit to Washington, with reference to
free seed distribution. He moved that
the secretary be instructed to send let-
ters to the New York congressmen re-
questing their influence toward having
the evil abolished, which was unanimous-
ly carried.

The exhibits were choice and varied.
Henry Metz, of Glen Cove, brought a
magnificent specimen of Asparagus
Sprengeri in a bamboo basket. He re-
ceived a cultural certificate. Guttman &
Weber sent a fine vase of Victory and
received the thanks of the club, later
distributing the flowers among the fifty
ladies j)resent.

Lager & Hurrell displayed tweflty-five
varieties of orchids, some very valuable.
They receiv(>d a cultural certificate. Ju-
lius Roehrs Co. exhibited cattleyas, calan-
thes and other orchids, one plant valued
at .$500. They received a cultural certi-
ficate. Both firms deserve great credit
for their generous interest in the club,
the weather being unfavorable for ship-
ment and many of the specimens being
of great value.

The lecture by Prof. Nash, of the
Bronx park conservatories, was most in-
structive and interesting and its value
was enhanced by many colored slides.
Mr. Sander, of London, England, gave
an address on the experiences of his
father in orchid growing. Peter C'rowe
and Phil Breitmeyer were present, but
with their usual modesty could not be
coaxed to address the crowd.

The commissary department not only
supplied a splendid collation for the la-
dies and a roast beef festival for the
men, but a musical entertainment far

ahead of any former efforts. Songs,
fancy dancing and music of the violin
followed each other rapidly and all were
worthy of the artists and the club, and
it was nearly midnight before the com-
pany of -00 departed to tfie harmony of
Auld Lang Syne.

Various Notes.

Wednesday evening, March 14, "Use-
ful and Economic Plants" was dis
cussed at the American Institute, G. V.
Nash, the lecturer on the orchids at the
Florists' Club, Monday evening, being
the principal speaker. Mr. Nash is one
of Sam'l Henshaw's pupils.

It was Mr. Blake, of Bonnot & Blake,
Brooklyn, who was ill last week, as the
balance of my notes concerning him in-
dicated. This firm is badly cramped for
room and need a store double the size
for their increasing business.

F. H. Traendly and E. V. Hallock, of
the S. A. F. executive committee, are
home from Dayton, after a very strenu-
ous week's work.

The auctions are in full blast, but the
blast is not yet very strong, and the
early birds are not quite ready to com-
mence nesting, or planting. Prices are
certain to be good this season. Fine rose
stock is in demand and scarce.

The plant market will locate at the
old stand and under the big tent, as
usual. That big building for the market
association, which the city was to build,
is sidetracked somewhere, but everything
will come to him who waits. John Bir-
nie is still optimistic ana av - live to
see his ambition realized.

Joseph A. Manda is still ill at the hos-
pital in Orange where he has been for
five weeks. He is very weak, but at last
reports was convalescent and hungry.

Chas. Millang is never happy unless he
has two or three enterprises on liis
hands and he manages to make a success
of all of them. Now it is a big livery at
104 W. Thirtieth street, where he has
leased the whole building. He has just
disposed of a fine team to Herman Drey-
er, of Woodside.

Max Limprecht, president of the Lim-
preeht Florists' Supply Co., celebrated
his forty-fourth birthday last Sunday
with appropriate festivities. A surprise
party, of over fifty friends, made merry
and it was well on in the week before
Max realized he was in the Dr. Osier
division.

The green carnation is here. The whole-
salers anticipate an unusual demand for
the manufactured novelty and are pre-
paring for it. The growers, too, are get-
ting wise and Bobby Schultz was seek-
ing the green fluid on Monday to have his
finger in the pie with the rest of the
Hibernians. The plantsmen, too, are an-
ticipating the sure demand for "the dear
little shamrock" and many of the
wholesalers are stocked. "There's noth-
ing too good for the Irish."

John Lewis Childs' great gladiolus,
America, is having a phenomenal sale.

Peter Crowe, Mrs. Crowe anc< daughter
are visiting in New York, also Mr. and
Mrs. Phil Breitmeyer, of Detroit.

Mr. Sander, of Sander & Son, the
great English orchidists, arrived ^rom
Ijondon on Saturday, accompanied by
Mr. Mellstrom, the firm's new American
representative.

Bowlin£.

Last Thursday, as usual, the Flatbusli
Bowling Club enjoyed an excellent even-
ing of sport. Two handsome prizes were
awarded the highest averages in two
games, with the following results:

DETROIT.

The Market.

Detroit is having winter at last. More
snow has fallen the past two weeks than
since last November, about five inches.

Funeral work! funeral work! That is
is the general cry among the retailers.
Never have the daily papers reported
so many deaths as in the last few
months. This is really a sad state of
aflPairs, but as it is the florists' bread
and butter, we must * ' grin and bear it. ' '

The market prices remain about t]ie
same as in the past few weeks.

Miami avenue is fast becoming the
ideal florists' street. The high rent of
property on Woodward avenue is tend-
ing to drive such firms as florists, hair
dressers, milliners, etc., into the side
streets. A magnificent new arcade build-
ing will soon be erected on Miami ave-
nue. As it will be devoted entirely to
the sale and manufacture of goods for
Avomen's wear and kindred industries, it
will draw just the people the florists
want.

Since the annexation of the vmage
of Woodmere to Detroit, several impor-
tant events have taken place, among
them the incorporation of the Woodmere
Floral Co., with Charles Warncke, Jr.,
as manager. About $o,000 has been in-
vested in several new houses and show
house, all iron framework and cypress
oars, located at 228, 230 and 232 Wood-
mere avenue. Hot-water under pressure
is used for heating.

The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange
has just received about a car-load k.^
sphagnum moss.

Club Meeting:.

At the regular meeting of the Flor-
ists' Club, held March 7, about thirty-
five per cent of the boys turned out to
hear what Jas. Taylor had to say about
hot-water heating with a forced cir-
culation. Having looked into this meth-
od thoroughly, Mr. Taylor is one of its
strongest advocates.

In the discussion which followed, it
was shown that the piping could be ar-
ranged so that in case of a breakdown
of the circulating pump, or in mild
weather, the heating could be done on

the gravity system by simply sending the
water through a by-pass.

The question box was next pressed
into service. In answer to a question
on the best coal, Pocahontas in lump or
egg size was thought the best. The
prices of coal were compared and it was
shown that the price varied a great deal
at different dealers, some consumers pay-
ing twenty-five per cent more than
others for the same coal.

A letter, addressed to the club, from
Mr. Wittbold, of Chicago, relative to
his new mechanical watering device, was
next read by our secretary. We are in
hopes that Mr. Wittbold will make a
practical demonstration in Detroit one
of these days. '

A committee, previously appointed, to
arrange for a meeting of the growers,
was disbanded, as it was found impossi-
ble to get the growers together.

Harry van Koolbergen, of Holland,
being present, was called upon for a
few words.

One flower of a new seedling carna-
tion was shovra by J. K. Stock. It is of
a pleasing pink shade, somewhat deeper
than Lawson, large flower, fringed edge
and fairly strong stem.

The combined efforts of B. Schroeter
and Hugo Schroeter are to be put into
an essay on "Seasonable Preparations
for Eaater Trade," to be read before
the club at its next meeting, March 21.

After the meeting was adjourned most
of the boys partook of refreshments,
the occasion being Albert Bemb's birth-
day. H. S.

Chetopa, Kan. — Henry Born is to
close up and go away.

CHICAGO,

The Great Central Market.

We have had another touch of winter
this week. On Sunday more snow fell
than on any previous day this season,
and Monday morning the thermometer
registered to within 13 degrees of zero.
Again on Tuesday snow fell steadily all
day. The result has been a noticeable
retarding of production and the rose
market has stiffened to about where it
was a fortnight ago. Beauties are in
active demand, with supplies, except on
shorter grades, rather under market re-
quirements. It is not always possible
to fill late orders. There are enough
Brides and Maids to go around and qual-
ity is excellent in a large part of the cut,
but demand is more brisk and each day 'b
receipts are cleaned up at better aver-
age prices than last week. Chatenay is
not in abundant supply, but tnere are
increased receipts of Liljerty and Rich-
mond, both of superior quality.

The cold, cloudy weather has had less
effect on the carnation crop. At least,
receipts are nearly as heavy as they were
a week ago, although it is possible that
had the sun shone we would now be in
the midst of a glut. There has not
been one full day of sunshine thus far
in March. Early this week the market
VFas oversupplied with colored carna-
tions, which were sold cheaply, although
of fine quality. At the same time there
was a shortage of whites, possibly be-
cause the growers are storing them up
for St. Patrick's day, when white prom-
ises to be in demand for turning into
green. N. J. Wietor says that Ladv

Bountiful is the sort the experimenters
have found best adapted to dyeing.

Mignonette is one of the surpluses.
Harrisii lilies are more than abundant,
large quantities of very short-stemmed
stock being diflScult to move. Bulbous
stock is less pressing than last week, but
it is all slow sale except the finer va-
rieties of tulips. Hauswirth used sev-
eral thousands of these in yellow and
red for the Merchants' Club banquet at
the Auditorium Saturday evening. Vio-
lets are in the dumps, iney are mak-
ing lower averages than at any time
this season. It is impossible to sell out
clean at any price. The green goods
market has taken a pause.

Various Notes.

Interest in "red violets" has given
place to discussion of another para-
mount issue: Who has the best carna-
tion dye? It looks as though the supply
of green carnations for Saturday con-
templates a whole bouquet for every son
of the old sod.

On March 8 the secretary of state li-

ised the incorporation of the Chicago
Wholesale Florists' Association, organ-
ized for the promotion of business in-
terests. The incorporators named are
the organization committee, Chas. M.
Dickinson, E. E. Pieser and Leonard
Kill.

One of the benefits resulting from the
debate at Handel hall March 6 is that
the wholesale houses no longer permit
crape chasers to make up work in their
places. The crape chasers, however, as-
sert that it is no great calamity which
has befallen them. They say that, not
being beholden to any wholesaler, they

are buying enough cheaper so that they
can afford a small outlay for rent.

In the item last week as to the Weil-
and family of florists it might have been
stated that the Weilands are first cousins
of the Wietor brothers. If one under-
took to mention the second cousins iu
the trade it would require enumerating
about all the growers on High Kidge.

E. F, Winterson and Fritz Bahr paid
a visit to Joliet on Monday. It will
cause regret to Mr. Bahr's many friends
to know that his eyes are giving him
as much trouble as at any time in the
past couple of years.

Weiland & Eisch say that their Brides
and Maids are a pretty weu off crop, but
Killarney is still blooming at the old
stand.

E, H. Hunt has just received a big
consignment of birch bark and twig nov-
elties for Easter. The Dresden fibre
ware and the Leichen baskets are verv
attractive specialties. Twig baskets are
now made in Michigan cheaper than in
Germany. They are of green twigs in-
stead of dry.

The vase of Kate Moulton roses shown
at the club's exhibition March 8 was
still on display at the store of the
Chicago Eose Co. on March 13 and were
in very much better form than when
seen at the club meeting.

The Chicago Eose Co. had its formal
opening March 8, with refreshments for
the many visitors,

O. W. Frese, at Poehlmann 's, calls at-
tention to the fact that the cut of the
Poehlmann Bros. Co. is now of better
quality than it has been at any date this
season; much better than when it took
the flower show prizes in November

Louis Wittbold recently sent to a list
of florists' clubs a paper on the evolu-
tion of watering in greenaouses. It inatle
quite a hit in Washington and at Detroit
the club was so thoroughly interested
that an invitation has been sent to Mr.
Wittbold to visit that city and give a
practical demonstration of the operation
of his watering apparatus. Geo. A.
Rackham tenders the facilities at his
place and Mr. Wittbold plans to accept
the invitation at an early day.

It is reported that Chas. Heim, the
Blue Island Floral Co., has sold out his
stock and is endeavoring to rent the
10,000 square feet of greenhouse' glass,

Jos. Foerster, at George Reinberg's,
says that the demand has been growing
steadily all season and now about takes
up all they are cutting except colored
carnations.

At the J. A. Budlong establishment
they are busy grafting 50,000 roses, prin-
cipally Brides and Maids, but part Rich-
mond.

A, F. Longren is now on the road for
the Chicago Carnation Co.

P. J. Foley is about and attending to
business, but is not yet enjoying his full
strength.

Geo. M. Garland says the iron gutter
business this season is better than ever.
He has already delivered 20,000 feet of
gutters for this season's houses.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The trade has felt the effect of Lent
only a little the past week, as most of
the stores were very busy. A number of
large funerals gave us several busy days.
Quite a number of decorations were
made for large down-town stores, but
this kind of work for weddings and
receptions is over for the next few weeks.
The wholesalers cleaned up pretty well
the latter part of the week and stock
did not accumulate as it did a wecK
ago. Prices went up a little on first-
class stock. All light-colored stock sold
well, very little being left over for after-
noon sales.

Roses in all popular sorts are not any
too many, with selects at $8 per hun-
dred. Brides, Maids, Ivory and Rich-
mond are in big demand. Fancy long
Beauties sell well but are in limited sup-
ply. Plenty of shorts are to be had bui
quality poor.

Carnations bring a much better price
than a week ago. Fancy grades are
again up to $3 per hundred. Among
those that have the call are Enchantress,
Lawson, Prosperity and all whites. Bulb-
ous stock is still very plentiful and vio-
lets are again abundant. Extra fine qual-
ity in Californias are offered at 25 cents
per hundred. Mignonette is offered free-
ly and meets with good demand. Smilax
is selling slowly. On all other greens
good sales are reported.

Florists' Qub.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club was held March 8. It was not as
well attended as it should have been,
only twenty-one members being present.
This being the annual rose meeting, the
exhibition was practically confined to
local growers and was not nearly as large
as usual. Fred Ammann staged Ivory,
Bride, Maid, Richmond and a fine mixed
vase. Henry Braun, foreman for A. Jab-
lonsky, showed an extra fine vase pf
Bride and Maid. Weber & Sons had a
vase of Golden Gate. W. J. & M. S.
Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind., showed
Bride and Maid. The Minneapolis
Floral Co. sent its beautiful pink rose.
Miss Kate Moulton, which again at-
tracted much attention.

The meeting opened promptly at 2
0 'clock, with Vice-president Steidle in the
chair. The discussion by Fred Ammann
and J. W. Dunford did not take place,
owing to the absence of the two gen-
tlemen. The chair appointed Messrs.
Koenig, Kellogg and Schray as judges
on the roses. They reported as fol-
lows:

Best twenty-five white, Fred Am-
mann first, Henry Braun, both on Bride.
Red, Fred Ammann, first, with Rich-
mond. Any other color, Weber & Son
first, on Golden Gate. The exhibits were
then auctioned off by Frank Fillmore
and brought good prices.

The next meeting will take place
Thursday afternoon, April 12. At this

J. F. Ammann will have a grand open-

this week. He has the best wishes ot
all the local florists in his new venture.

At the next meeting of the Board of
Public Improvements, Park Commis-
sioner Aull will ask for an appropriation
of $125,000 to improve the greenhouses
and lawns in Forest park. The houses
are too small to grow the thousands of
plants used in the parks of the city.

Max Herzog and his wife are travel-
ing in Cuba.

Mrs. Wm. Ellison, of the Ellison Floral
Co., spent a few days in Chicago the
past week.

Henry Johan, of CoUinsville, was over
Thursday to attend the club meeting.

His right arm was broken a week ago.
He says he has good times now visit-
ing the different growers.

Henry Ostertag left Saturday night
for a week's hunting trip up north and
exDCcts to bag a big lot of ducks.

Nick Himmer, at Meramec Highlands,
will build five new houses this summer,
for carnations and violets.

We read with regret of the death of
I'erry Finn, the Carthage florist. Mr.
Finn was well known among the trade
here. His carnation, Carthage, is a good
one and should bring a good revenue to
those he leaves behind, a wife and son.

One might have found something more
exciting than the cut flower business has
been the past week. There is a lot of
everything; in fact, much more of some
things than there is any demand for.
Tlie street stands had some very nice
cHrnations marked 25 cents per dozen,
which gives some idea where the i)rice
on that kind of stock has fallen to. Vio-
lets are cheap enough for the peduiers,
some good stock being sold as low as $3
per thousand. Eoses hold fairly wea,
but almost everything else is down to
tiie bottom in price. However, the re-
ports are that just a little more busi-
ness is being done than the correspond-
ing week last year, so there should be
ikT complaint and the fact that it is the
Lenten season covers it all.

Florists* Qub Meeting.

The Florists' Club met March 6 and
took up the subject for the evening,
which was ' ' Roses. ' ' The meeting was
well attended ; again let me call to the
attention of those who cannot remember
the meeting night that they are missing
a great deal, as each meeting becomes
more interesting. The display for Tues-
day night was one of which the grow-
ers of the Greater Pittsburg may feel
proud.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. displayed
Kate Moulton but while the rose was
admired and believed to be a very good"
thing, tiie growers are so well satisfied
with the returns from Chatenay I doubt
if many will be planteu hero this season.

W. H. Elliott, Brighton. Mass., had
an exhibit of gi-afted plants of Killar-
ney and Wellesley which were good; G.
& J. W. Ludwig, a vase of MacArthur
which were very fine, and Julius Ludwig
says the only fault he has with the rose
is that lie cannot get enough of them.

The Floral Exchange, Tallytown, Pa.,
had Brides. Maids, Chatenay,' Ivory and
Queen of Edgely. This stock was gen-
erally good but the Edgeh- were special-
ly fine.

David Eraser, gardener for H. C.
Frick, had a vase of Killarney and Mr.
Fraser says next year it is the only rose
he will grow, as he ships all his flowers
to Mrs. Frick in New York and, be-
sides being her favorite rose, it carries
better than anything else he has shipped.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. showed
Maid, Bride, Cusin. Richmond, Chate-
nay, Killarney; Perlo and Bon Silene. '

Tlie Richmond, Chatenay and Killarney
were worthy of special mention. This
stock was all grown by the Pittsburg
Rose & Carnation Co.

And last, but not by any moans least,
H, L. Blind & Bros, showed Maids and
Brides as fine as ever were seen; their
Killarney, Richmond and Beauties were
strictly up-to-date, also plants of Crim-
son and Baby Ramblers.

This display of flowers was beyond
the ordinary show and called forth many
praises for the various growers who
could produce such stock, as well as
much valuable information on the how
to do it. Another feature of the even-
ing was the paper read by Neil McCal-
lum, of the Allegheny cemetery.

It was conceded at the close of the
meeting that John Jones was the rignt
man in the right place as president of
the club and all felt that thoy were look-
ing forward to the niost prosperous year
for the Pittsburg Florists' Club.

CLEVELAND.

Business fot the pa«t ten dija has
been rotten. The shipping trade was the
only redeeming feature, as all local flor-
ists were sufferers and job lots were
about the only orders filled. It seems to
be worse this year than at the beginning
of Lent last year.

Geo. Bate, of the Cleveland Cut i'lower
Co., with a party of friends, spent the
latter part of the week at the lakes, near
Akron, O., where they enjoyed some fine
bass fishing. He did not report the
number caught, but says they had a fine
time.

S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, spent
several days in the city, and booked
many good orders. The craft are al-
ways glad to see him. C.

PHILADELPHIA.

Thf Market.

Conditions are nitlior tlifticult to ile-
scribe. Business is fairly active, but a
little irregular and tbere are too many
flowers for the requirements. The result
is lower prices. Carnations, violets and
sweet peas will all average much lower,
though the best bring fairly good figures.
American Beauty roses are lower this
week, but there is not a sufl&cient supply
in sight to warrant the belief that prices
on good stock will recede much further
for a week or two. The shorter grade.s
of Bridesmaid roses are extremely hard
to sell, .averaging less than the same
quality of Brides. The appearance of
southern daffodils noticed in this column
last week has preceded an increasing sup-
ply. These flowers are not usually per-
fect. They are popular with the street
men, and affect the price of the northern
grown stock, which is always taken in
preference. Valley is plentiful. Lilacs
still can be had in quantity. Easter
lilies are more plentiful, and in moderate
demand. Callas are almost a drug. There
are some good tulips about.

St. Patrick's Day.

The feature of the plant business this
week has been the great quantity of
clover, politely termed shamrock, dis-
tributed by the department stores. These
little clo — 1 mean shamrocks — grown in
small pots, are given to every customer,
whether he or she be a son or daughter
of Erin or no, who enters the sacred por-
tals of Lit 's, Gimbel 's or other of the
large stores.

• The manager of one of the flower
shops, speaking of this eieemosynarv
bubiiioss, said that he did not wish to
sell his customers clover for shamrock,
"and besides," he added, "the depart-
ment stores give them away. ' ' There
are, however, some of the genuine sham-
rock to be seen. Edw. Reid was sending
out quite a nice lot of the simon-pure
article. The price is, however, higher.

Southampton.

In a pretty hamlet on a faraway little
railway Stephen Mortensen has built up
a flourishing business in the growing of
roses for cut flowers. Every morning ex-
cept Sunday his night fireman takes
large boxes of Brides and Bridesmaids,

Liberties and Kichmonds to the station,
thence to be conveyed by express to
Samuel S. Pennock, the wholesale florist
of this city.

The influence of Wm, A. Leonard,
familiarly known as the great grafter, is
apparent in Southampton, for Mr. Mor-
tensen, imbued with the idea that
grafted Brides and Maids were better
thiin own roots, purchased a couple of
thousand from the aforesaid Wm. A.
Leonard two years ago. They have done
extremely well, as have all the roses
here, but when compared with the plants
on own root there is an absence of
ground canes, so pleasant to look upon
iit this season of the year. Kichmond is
the gem of the collection.

To quote Mr. Mortensen 's words at
tiie rose meeting of the Florists' Club,
"Richmond has paid me better than any
other rose. ' ' Liberty will be discarded
next season, and probably 5,000 Rich-
monds planted instead.

Various Notes.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co., whose reputa-
tion as introducers and growers of sweet

pea seed is world-wide, suggest the fol-
lowing varieties as best for outdoor sow-
ing for cut flowers: Whites, Mont Blanc;
pale pink, Katherine Tracy; bright pink,
Burpee's Earliest-of-All (Blanche Ferry
type), and lavender. Lady Grisel Hamil-
ton.

Wm. J. Moore has the distinction of
being the only one of the wholesalers
who has not enough carnations to meet
the requirements of his large business.
Some of Mr. Moore 's growers are, un-
fortunately, not producing as many
flowers as last season.

A number of florists left this city on
Monday afternoon to attend the annual
banquet of the Baltimore Florists' Club.
Among those who went were Robt. Craig
and D. T. Connor. They expected to be
joined by W. K. Harris, G. C. Watson,
and, possibly, John Westcott.

John Mclntyre has accepted a position
with the Leo Niessen Co. He began work
there last Monday.

Philip Freud arranged an attractive
window for the Henry F. Michell Co.,
with shamrock, grass seed and sweet pea
seed; the idea strongly brought out is

The Market

After a period of showers and spring-
like weather, we are having a touch of
winter again, with the thermometer
around 22 degrees. This has had the
tendency of shortening up the supply
and consequently the prices have ad-
vanced. While rose? have at no time
been in excess of the demand, carna-
tions rolled in last week in very large
quantities and the price dropped. Now
there are not nearly so many of them
and they are not so soft. Other varie-
ties of stock are about the same as last
reported. Some very good double vio-
lets are to be had; also, lilies are in
heavier supply. Bulbous stock is selling
very well, especially good hyacinths and
tulips. Green goods are none too plen-
tiful.

Gu^ation Show.

On Saturday, March 10, our annual
carnation show was held, and it was a
daisy. There were a large number of
blooms on exhibition, our club rooms
being filled to the limit. Never have
I seen a collection of carnations of
better quality. The show was open to
the public from 3 to 8 p. m. and I will
venture to state that at least 4,000 peo-
ple passed through the hall. There was
a constant jam. Never have we had a
collection of blooms which was more
representative of the carnation industry
of the United States, as can be well seen
from the following list of exhibitors:

rived in first class shape. When you
consider the distance they traveled, it
well proves their good staying qualities.
He staged Winsor, White Lawson, Varie-
gated Lawson, and Eed Lawson, all
finely finished blooms.

The W. C. Hill Floral Co., Streator,
lU., sent a vase of the shell pink sport
of Lawson. It has a very pleasing color
and looks to be a good one. One of the
remarkable features of the show was
that Lawson was shown in five different
colors, all of them appearing to be good
commercial sorts.

The H. Weber & Sons Co., Oakland,
JMd., sent some fine blooms, among them
being My Maryland and a pink seed-
ling, Mabelle. A few blooms of a seed-
ling on the order of Prosperity, but
darker in color, was quite a novelty.

Geo. Bayer, Toledo, sent a vase of
very well grown Lawson, also one of
Enchantress.

Honaker, Lexington, Ky., staged En-
chantress in fine form.

The E. G. Hill Co., Eichmond, Ind.,
made a very fine exhibit, staging among
other varieties, Lawson and Enchantress
in great shape.

The Miami Tloral Co., Dayton, O.,
had Enchantress and Prosperity in very
good shape.

John Hartje, Indianapolis, showed a
vase of Candace which made a very good
impression.

Heller Bros., New Castle, Ind., stageu
a fine vase of Lawson for exhibition
only.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. sent their
new rose. Miss Kate Moulton.

Of our home growers, Wm. Murphy,
George & Allan, Thos. Windram, Frank
Snyder and Frank Huntsman staged
some very finely grown blooms. Geo.
Murphy showed some very good pan-
sies.

Last, but by far not least, was the
exhibition of our own Dick Witterstaet-
ter. It is suflScient to say that the
blooms he staged were fully up to his
standard. Among the many new sorts
none was more admired than Afterglow.
It was surely in fine form.

The judges were Henry Schwarz, C. E.
Critchell and D. Sunderbruch. The
awards were made as follows. Best vase
iitty blooms white, H. Weber & Sons

Co. first, E. Witterstaetter second, E. G.
Hill Co. third.

Light pink, E. G. Hill Co. first, E.
Witterstaetter second, Honaker third.

Witterstaetter first, F. E. Pierson sec-
ond.

Best 100 blooms, not less than six com-
mercial varieties, E. G. Hill Co. first.

Best general display went to E. Wit-
terstaetter.

The S. A. F. silver medal went to E.
Witterstaetter for Afterglow. The
bronze medal went to the Minneapolis
Floral Co. for Miss Kate Moulton, sub-
ject to the approval of the national
society.

W. E. Hall, of Clyde, O., sent a vase
of his seedling carnation named E. G.
GUlett. It was entered for our society's
certificate but lacked two points of ob-
taining same. It shows all of the marks
of a first class commercial variety, but it
has a brick red color and, the judges
thinking the darker shade of red to be
the best, it lost heavily on that point.
It was exhibited at our fall show, when
it scored eighty-six points agdinst eighty-
three at the present time.

The H. Weber & Sons Co. entered
their seedling Mabelle for a certificate.
It scored eighty-two points.

In response to invitations sent out
by our society, there were a large num-
ber of visitors in the city. At 6 p. m.
they gathered at our clubrooms and then
in a body adjourned to the Burnet house,
where a banquet was in waiting. Covers
were laid for sixty-seven persons and
a jollier gathering it would be hard to
imagine. Wm. Murphy, the president
of our society, acted as toastmaster and
during the course of the evening many
of those present were given an opportu-
nity of speaking on a variety of sub-
jects.

At 9:30 a meeting of the society was
called to order. J. W. Weber, of Oak-
land, Md., and Eay Murpuy were pro-
posed for membership. The rules being
suspended, they were unanimously elect-

ed. " E. G. Gillett spoke of the flower

Business was poorer last week than it
has been for some time. Large quanti-

this, in addition to the department store
sales, has forced the price of this popu-
lar flower down. Eoses do not seem to
be overplentiful and are still sell-
ing for good prices, the best grade
bringing $1.50 per dozen. Violets are
sold at all kinds 01 prices, some being

gent inquiry failed to elicit any informa-
tion as -to who was back of this new con-
cern, but the secret has at last leaked
out, and we have the information from
a very reliable source that Ed. Ellsworth
is to be the head of the project. We
understand that a wealthy citizen of this
place, at present unknown, is the silent
partner and is furnishing the capital,
while Mr. Ellsworth will be the active
manager and furnish the experience.
The location is without exception one
of the best in the city for a business
of this kind, as it is in the heart of the
most aristocratic residence section of the
city. Mr. Ellsworth has been the man-
ager of Geo. M. Kellogg 's store foi
some time and is well known here. He
possesses both the ability and experience
to make a success at his new venture.

most elaborate decorations of the sea-

being used in this room. One hundred
long-stemmed American o^eauties and a
large amount of ferns and smilax were
used. The rest of the house was deco-

The Market.

As forecasted in last week's notes,
business has improved. There is con-
siderable entertaining in a quiet way
and several large decorations were fur-
nished during the week. Several events
are planned for the near future that
promise to equal, if not excel, anything
this season has brought forth. The sup-
ply of good stock is almost unlimited,
fine roses and carnations being promi-
nent. Carnations are being much useu
for table work but tulips and jonquils
are also in demand. All spring flowers
move freely. Hydrangeas and smaller
stock in pots and pans continue to be in
demand.

Qub Meeting.

By a unanimous vote in each instance
the following officers were elected at
the meeting of the i-lorists' Club March
6: President, Peter Bisset; vice-presi-
dent, Louis Freeman; secretary, Charles
itlcCauley; treasurer, W. H. Ernest, re-
elected.

President Bisset, since the reorganiza-
tion of the club, two years ago, has
served faithfully and well as secretary.
His unanimous election was but just
recognition of the faithful and efficient
service he has rendered the club.

Eetiring President W. F. Gude was

tendered a vote of thanks for his efforts
for the club's welfare and presented
with a silver mounted gavel, the wood
being sent from historic Mount Vernon
by Superintendent of Horticulture
Franklin Whalen. The head of the
gavel was made from the wood of a tree
planted by Gen. Washington, the han-
dle from a tree planted by Lafayette.
Mr. Gude, in response, spoke feeimgly
of the progress made by the club and
expressed his determination to work for
the erection of a permanent home for
the club.

The carnations John E. Haines, Glen-
dale and Eed Sport, were exhibited at
the meeting. Jolm E. Haines, which, as
is well known, was originated by the
grower of that name of Bethlehem, Pa.,
having been exhibited three times at
the club's shows, was awarded a certifi-
cate. Glendale, a fine variegated bloom,
is by the Veseys, of Ft. Wayne, Ind.
Red Sport was disseminated last year
by A. B. Davis & Son, Purcellville, Va.
Though not as large as some of the new
scarlets, it has established an enviable
reputation as a good commercial bloom.

The Banquet.

The club banquet at Fruend's was
an enjoyable event and furnished a feast
of reason and other things and a flow
of soul. As toastmaster, Pres. Gude
called on George Field to responu to the
toast, "American Beauty Rose." As
Mr. Field discovered and disseminated
American Beauty, he was literally at
home with his subject.

Fred H. Kramer responded for Queen
Beatrice and President-elect Bisset, E.
A. Moseley, N. S. Hammer, Chas. Hen-
lock and others spoke entertainingly.

The Market

Conditions are somewhat improved
compared to a week ago. No tancy
prices are being obtained, but stock on
the whole is clearing up oetter, the de-
mand being nearly equal to the supply.
The weather now is such that fakers can
ply their trade daily and this relieves a
good deal of the congestion which would
otherwise take place. Roses are much
more abundant and the poorer grades
are harder to move. Some very fine
Beauties and Queen of Edgely are now
arriving and the best continue to make
$50 to $60 per hundred. On Brides,
Maids, Chatenays, Wellesleys and Kil-

larneys prices vary from $4 to $12 per
hundred, a small number of fancies go-
ing a trifle higher.

Carnations make $2 for ordinary,
fancies going at $4, with a few higher.
Violets are very little changed. In spite
of the heavy output of tuese, few are
unsold. From 35 cents to 75 cents are
outside quotations, 40 cents to 50 cents
being a good average price. Bulbous
stock makes from $1.50 to $2. Some
Murillo tulips sell at $3 to $4. Quite
a few Orange Phoenix narcissi are seen.
Callas and Easter lilies are abundant.
The latter sell rather the better, at $10
to $12.50 per hundred. Green stock is
abundant and of fine quality. Sham-
rocks are in heavy demand this week,
varying in price from 50 cents to $2
per dozen, the latter being for small
pans. Varieties are as numerous as ever,
each store having its special brand lab-
eled the "genuine" article..

American Rose Society.

Unless all signs fail the coming exhi-
bition will prove a record breaking one
in every way. Not only will exhibits far
surpass those of 1905, but the attend-
ance of rosarians from a distance will
be fully double that of a year ago.

Tlie annual banquet to be given the
visiting delegates of the Rose Society
by the horticultural interests of Boston
under the auspices of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club will take place on
Saturday evening, March 24, at the
Hotel Brunswick, Boylston street. Tickets
are purchasable from James Wheeler,
Alex. Montgomery, P. Welch, W. J.

Pres., W. H. Grenell, Sa^rlnaw, W. S., Mica.;
Itrst Vlce-Pres., L. L. Alay, St. Paul; Sec'y and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual
meeting will be held at Toledo, G., June 26-28, 1906.

The market gardeners are now pre-
dicting a late spring.

Spinach seed goes up two notches
higher out of sympathy for sweet peas.

EeportSi. indicate that manyv unexpect-
ed shortages in seed stocks are develop-
ing.

Visited Chicago: E. M. Parmelee, of
the John H. Allan Seed Co., Sheboygan,
Wis.

The growers are now after the farm-
ers who will take a few beans on con-
tract for next year.

Business is reported booming all
along the line in spite or a week of very
unfavorable weather., '»

Sweet corn of the early varieties is
causing trouble on account of its scar-
city— or at any rate the uncertainty of
its whereaDouts.

Mrs. a. L. Austin, wife of the presi-
dent of Rogers Bros., Chaumont, N. Y.,
and herself vice-president of the corpora-
tion, died March 7.

Seedsmen arc cordially welcome to
the use of this column in announcing
business changes, or any other matters
of general interest to the seed trade.

Some of the people outside of the
seed business who- were induced to spec-
ulate on seed of the flat varieties of
onions are reported to be sorry they
spoke.

The onion set situation is reported to
be differently viewed from different
standpoints. This is as it should be; if
we were all alike nobody would make
much of a show.

A Chicago market gardener is said to
be looking for a congressman named
Mann who it appears did not send him
enough radish seed to fill up the frame
he had prepared for it.

E. H. Hunt, Chicago, plana to handle
Bermudian and Japanese bulbs, in case
lots only, extensively this season. This
department of the business has not been
pushed the last year or two, but will
now be given the same attention as the
other lines.

According to the State Board of
Agriculture, the timothy seed crop in
Illinois in 1905 was 64,625 bushels,
valued at $1.75 per bushel, against 483,-
571 bushels in 1877, valued at $1.25 per
bushel. The clover seed crop of the
state has also been annually diminishing.

Winnipeg, Man. — The seed special
which has been run over the Canadian
Northern Railway returned March 3.
Dr. Fletcher, Dominion entomologist
and botanist; G. H. Clark, seed commis-
sioner, and T. N. Willing, chief seed in-
spector for Saskatchewan, were the only
passengers. They report an increased
interest among farmers in regard to the
importance of selecting good seed. The
Aggregate attendance at the 206 meet-
ings which were held was 28,910.

UP TO THE GRANGERS.

Ed. Review: — You will probably be
interested in the enclosed clipping from
the Philadelphia Press. A number of
us, including members of firms in Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia, Washing-
ton, Richmond and Cincinnati, spent the
last two days in Washington, and it
really looks as if there were consider-
able hope now of work against the free
distribution of common seeds becoming
effective, provided we largely hide our-
selves and induce our customers and
others, particularly grangers, through-
out the country, to write to their mem-
bers of congress.

W. Atlee Burpee.

The enclosure to which Mr. Burpee
refers was a report by J. S. Henry cov-
ering the Cocks motion to strike out
from the agricultural appropriation bill
the provision for the seed distribution,
as reported in last week's Review. Mr.
Henry's story of the degeneracy of the
said distribution, among other merits,
is one of the most accurate yet published,
and it appears that the several seedsmen
who visited Washington March 5 and 6
may have done the trade no small serv-
ice in attracting the attention of the

country to the present opportunity to be
rid of this petty congressional graft.

Burnet Landreth, secretary of the
Wholesale Seedsmen's League, sends out
the following:

At a meeting of seed merchants held
in the city of Washington, D. C, March
5 and 6, it was decided to issue sug-
gestions to the general seed trade as
follows :

The following draft or skeleton for a
line of argument has been drawn for
the purpose of aiding the compilation of
similar articles to be distributed by seed
merchants to their wholesale customers,
retail customers and to others, their
friends who might be disposed to com-
municate promptly with their respective
members of congress in many states, urg-
ing them to sustain the action of the
committea on agriculture in expunging
frpm the general agricultural bill that
particular item covering the purchase
of seeds for free distribution.

You are requested, therefore, if this
thought meets your approval, to at once
have printed some thousands of slips cov-
ering the subject and have,, them in-
serted in every letter sent out and in
every package of seed, so that the united
action of the seed trade will start tens
of thousands of voters into communica-
tion with their respective congressmen.

The bill for its final passage will come
up about the hist of March, and it is
imperatively necessary that congressmen

be influenced to sustain the vote of the
committee. The following are the out-
lined suggestions:

The appropriation for the free dis -
tribution of seeds for next year is now
before congress and will be decided upon
for or against by the first of April. The
original law, ehacted in 1862, authorized
the Department of Agriculture to dis-
tribute only new and valuable seeds and
plants: This authority has been
stretched into annually increasing pro-
portions, and has departed entirely from
the idea embodied in the law. No at-
tempt has been made to work strictly
aloEg the lines laid down originally ; only
the commonest kind of seeds have been
sent out, and in such enormous quanti-
ties as to seriously hamper |^ postal
service. They have been distnbuted at
random, causing a reckless waste of pub-
lic money. All right-minded people con-
cede that it is an unwarranted use of
public funds, and if you will write im-
mediately upon receipt of this, today, to
your representative in congress urging
him to use his best efforts to cancel the
appropriation for free seeds, you will
aid in having a very valuable work ac-
complished.

SEED NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

The retail seed houses in iiingland are
now in full swing and they look to be
having a good time. The advertising is
heavier than ever before and some of
the catalogues of the large houses are
perfect works of art and complete gar-
den guides in themselves. No amateur
need do more than get a catalogue from
such houses as Kelway's, of Longport;
Sutton's, of Eeauing, or Veitch's, of
Chelsea, to know all his hobby and by
following the directions given can be
sure of moderate success in almost any
seed he buys. No one can accuse the
British retail seedsman of not being
enterprising and up-to-date.

I notice we have some well-known
names from America entering the ranks
and catering to the British amateur seed
user. We have seed firms now delivering
to the public by post and otherwise di-
rect from Germany, France, Holland,
Denmark and America. All these firms
might be content to supply the British
seedsman wholesale. They would not be
losers in the long run. B. J.

country for a number of years is moved
to another section where soil and climate
are different the plant always under-
goes more or less change during the first
two or three years before it becomes
' ' adapted " to its new conditions.

The definite effect of climate in modi-
fying the corn plant is shown in the fol-
lowing experiment : Seed of two vari-
eties of corn, Snowflake White and Iowa
Gold Mine, was obtained from Iowa and
grown in Nebraska for two years. In
the third year seed was taken from this,
and seed was also obtained from the
same original source in Iowa. These
were all planted in adjacent plats at the
experiment station. A marked difference
was shown throughout the experiment
between the different plats. In the
Snowflake White variety the stalk from
the seed that had grown in central
Nebraska for two years had decreased
almost a foot in height, the ear was 8.8
inches lower down and the ear shank
almost two inches shorter, while the
plants from Nebraska seed had an aver-
age of 1.2 fewer leaves.

The weight of both stalk and ear was
found to be heavier in the corn grown
from the seed just from Iowa, but the

proportion of ear to stalk was higher in
the acclimated corn. The Nebraska corn
averaged almost 200 square inches less
leaf area, which was to be expected of
plants grown in a drier climate. The
yield of grain was in favor of the home-
grown seed.

The lesson to be learned from this is
that to get the best results in corn grow-
ing the seed must be home-grown, and
grown not only in the same state, but in
the "same locality.

NOTES FHOM ENGLAND.

Japanese fern balls are an absolute
drug on the English market. The various
shapes, such as monkeys, flying storks,
ships, etc., are never now asked for in
the trade.

The novelty of the moment appears
to be the earthenware figures in which
a particular kind of grass seed is sown
and after the figure is filled with water
seed sprouts, and a crop of green grass
appears. The clay figures are being ex-
tensively stocked, not only by seedsmen
and allied trades, but also by other
trades.

The Ghent azalea trade this year is
very bad. It has been for many years
a standing feature with small provin-
cial nurserymen doing a weekly market
trade to buy in a quantity of named
azaleas each year from the Belgium
growers, the size that will pot up com-
fortably into a 5-inch pot being most
favored. Gradually prices have receded
until this year a heavy loss in
many cases will be made. Grand
plants were on offer in a lar^
provincial center this week at 6^'tsSiCii,
which was not half the cost of the plants.
The general opinion of the smaller
growers now is that the time has come
when there is no profit, or very little,
to be made in England in any article but
what can be grown throughout in the
nursery. Prices for nearly all classes
of goods have so declined that they will
not now warrant more than a coke la-
borer and rent bill, and any article that
there is an additional big bill to pay for
stock plants is not profitable.

BERLIN, ONT.

The town of Berlin, which is situated
about sixty miles west of Toronto, is
growing very rapidly. Four new facto-
ries are to be built this spring, two of
those already established are doubling
their capacity and one or two other fac-
tory firms are negotiating to locate here.
Over seventy distinct manufacturing
concerns are in operation here now, with
still more to follow.

Notwithstanding all this prosperity the
town of Berlin is not an ideal one for
the florist. The Germans, who predomi-
nate, although lovers of flowers, are not
prodigal in the purchase of luxuries.
Nevertheless, H. L, Jaiizen, who in 1878

started in the market gardening and
nursery business, and who of late years
has been extending his florists' business,
has about 35,000 square feet under glara.
About one-half of the product is shippe I.
This latter branch has expanded so rap-
idly that it was deemed advisable to
procure a new site. A short time ago
fourteen acres of land were secured, lo-
cated only about 300 feet from the pres-
ent plant. This block of land is bound-
ed on three sides by a 6G-foot
street and on the other side for a dis-
tance of 1,200 feet by the main line of
the Grand Trunk railway. A spur from
the latter will bring the coal direct to
the boiler house.

It is the intention, in the course of
a few years, to cover the larger portion
of this land with greenhouses. Con-
tracts have been awarded for the ma-
torial for four houses 25x300 feet. The
l)lock system will be adopted. Th3 en-
tire construction is to be of the most
modern type.

The King Construction Co. is supply-
ing the structural material, all of which
will be of the latest pattern, such as
steel gutters, skeleton iron purlins, roof
trussing and skeleton ventilators. This
style of building eliminates all sup-
porting posts excepting the iron posts
immediately under the gutters. The
glass, which is being especially imported,
is twenty inches wide, of a superior
English brand; it will be uniformly
thick and cut perfectly square at the
ends. Not an ounce of putty will be
used, as all the glass will be butted. The
heating will be by steam and, as the
boiler house will be located on land
much lower than the floor of the green-
houses, all the water will be brought
back to the boilers bv graVitation.

TWIN QTIES.

The Market.

Business the past week has not been
very good. Stock has been ponjing in
in large quantities. Some growers no
doubt have overestimated the demand for
bulbous stock, as a number of them have
been compelled to throw it away in large
quantities. While we have experienced
a good demand for it, it has been grown
in much larger quantities this seasou.
The forepart of the month it was very
cold and up to this date it has re-
mained so; until we get good spring
weather it can hardly be expected to
di8])ose of bulbous stock in large
amounts.

Koses and carnations have been com-
ing in nicely; as the demand has not
been very heavy nearly all the florists
are carrying heavy stocks and the buy-
ers can find almost everyming they
want. Violets are plentiful and some
Ox the retailers have already begun to
cut the price of them, one dealer selling
them all week for 25 cents per bunch.
Greek fruit dealers have been handling
more stock the past week than hereto-
fore. On account of the surplus of stock
they have been able to buy cheap, and,
of course, sell at a greatly reduced ug-
ure. Trade in the Twin Cities has been
cut up to a large extent on account of
the Greeks and the department stores.

Country trade in this section has
grown to large proportions, and it is
hard to find a florist but what is reach-
ing out for it. As a rule, good legiti-
mate prices can be obtained.

St.PauL

C. F. Vogt reports a great increase in
his country trade. This he says is due
to the pains he takes in selecting the
best stock for that trade. He does no
advertising whatever, but every few
weeks is able to add one or two new
customers to his list.

One of our growers who has had poor
success in growing lilies and has not
been successful in getting them in on
time has our best wishes for a crop in
time this season. Judging from reports
he is going to be successful this sea-
son. This is his eighteenth year.

F. G. Franke is bringing in some good
roses, but a glut on the market makes
it hard to dispose of them.

C. Bussjaeger is preparing to build
one large rose house. With this addi-
tional house he will have six nice houses.
He is now cutting some nice Beauties.

N. C. Hansen is cutting some fine vio-
lets, but the demand for them is not
heavy. They are as plentiful as all other
stock.

Minneapolis.

John Monson, of the Minneapolis
Floral Co., has been very successful in
disposing of his large stock of bulbous
stock. He planted 500,000 tulips alone,
and between his country and city busi-
ness has been able to dispose of large
numbers.

Geo. S. Murtfeldt reports a fair busi-
ness. His store is one of the most at-
tractive in the city and he is gradually
building up a nice business in the face
of hard competition.

Kalph Latham is well satisfied; his
large acquaintance brings considerable
trade. He makes it a point to always
carry a good stock. Felix.

PACIFIC COAST.

Los Angeles, Cal. — At a meeting of
the board of directors of the Southern
California Horticultural Society, held
March 1 at the rooms of the secretary,
the following officers were elected:
President, Walter Raymond; vice-presi-
dent, Fred H. Howard ; secretary, Ernest
Braunton, Los Angeles; treasurer, Jacob
Dietrich, Los Angeles; directors, H. W.
O'Melveny, Walter Raymond, J. W.

EXTERMINATING GREENFLY.

Would you kindly tell me a good and
sure remedy for greenfly on outdoor
stock in southern California? This
is the first season they have troubled
me. I tried the hose on them, but they
seemed to be twice as many the next
day. F, 8.

From the above query I take it that

the correspondent has made an effort
to destroy the greenfly by turning a i
force of water on tnem ■from a hose. This- •
remedy he will find quite effective if he
persists in using it with a good force
behind the nozzle. One or two appli-
cations will not be sufficient but if it
is kept up three times a week for sev-
eral weeks he will have no trouble with
the annoying greenfly. It is possible to >
entirely eradicate them with whale oil
soap, made in a solution, using one
pound to five gallons of water. This,
however, takes a great deal of trou-
ble and if there is considerable space
to cover it uses up quite a quantity of
material. If only a few plants are to be
treated it makes but little difference,
as it is easily applied with a sponge
or brush.

I have had good success with a good
stream of water applied with plenty of
force behind it, and nave yet to see any-
thing in the line of growing plants that
could not be kept entirely free from
greenfly if the application be kept up
for a week or two at intervals of several
days. G.

MUMS WITH CARNATIONS.

Will you inform me whether or not
I can grow carnations and chrysanthe-
mums successfully in the same house '
under Oregon climatic conditions, and
what is the proper temperature for
each. R. W. M.

Chrysanthemums and carnations can
be grown in the same house, although it
is quite a waste of room to grow the
former in beds, as they are fully as
easily handled in boxes and urought into
the house from six to eight weeks be-
fore they, are expected to blossom. I do
not know whether the correspondent has
any use for the benches he proposes to
devote to them, but as the season is very
short they can be put almost anywhere
to perfect the blooms, then thrown out
and the space utilized for other stock.

If he intends to plant them in solid
beds they can be grown with little trou-
ble in the same temperature as that
given to carnations. They require plen-
ty of air and unless for the very late
blooming sorts, the temperature need
never be kept over 50 degrees at night;

and this is quite sufficient in this cli-
mate for carnations.

If he concludes to plant them in boxes
and handle them in that way, they
should be planted not over twelve in a
box 12x24x6 inches. This I have found
to be a very profitable way, as it regu-
lates space very nicely and, as I stated
before, there is no necessity of devoting
over three months at the most to devel-
oping and cutting the entire stock.
They can be brought on in a shade house
and will give better results in most cases
than if grown in a house during the
warm summer. The season for cutting
carnations is from six to eight months
after planting and the correspondent
will do better to devote his benches to
them. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The continued warm weather of the
last few days has brought many kinds
of outside blooms into town with a rush.
The white varieties of narcissi are com-
pletely out of bloom, likewise the Ko-
man hyacinths. Daffodils, except the
late blooming sorts, are over. Carm*-
tions have dropped quite suddenly in
price and the best fancy stock can now
be had at three dozen for a dollar. The
other kinds do not net the growers more
than $2 per hundred. Eoses are only
in fair supply and the demand does not
more than equal it. Brides and Maids
cost the stores about $4 to $6 per hun-
dred and short-stemmed stock at about
half that price. Violets are daily be-
coming scarcer and in a couple of weeks
they will have arrived at their growing
season when the blooms become very
shabby. Freesias are holding out well;
also valley and Dutch hyacinths. The
prospects are good for a big crop ot
Easter lilies; our mild winter and abun-
dance of sunshine has had a great deal
to do with the case. Wild flowers of
various kinds have commenced to make

packing and storehouse, 160x300 feet,
is to be built. This will be constructed
of stone from their own quarries and
enclosed on top with a gravel roof. The
company is installing a fifty drop sys-
tem of telephones, twenty of which are
now in operation. "When completed this
will connect all parts of the nursery
with the office. They will also put in
an electric bell system in all of the
buildings.

The demand for peonies for spring
planting is fully up to expectations.

The two-story frame office building
of the Green Nursery Co., Rochester, N.
Y., and its contents, were destroyed by
fire March 8. The fire started in the
basement and it is thought it was caused
by an explosion of gasoline. In the of-
fices on the first floor were orders for
the spring and summer trade amounting
to thousands of dollars. These were
burned and cannot be duplicated. The
money loss is estimated at $10,000.

Guthrie, 0. T. — As a result of the
difficulties which R. M. "White, an Enid
nurseryman, has had with tihe territorial
board of agriculture regarding the issu-
ance to him of a permit to sell nursery
stock in the territory, the Santa Pe rail-
road has on its hands a car-load of nur-
sery stock, shipped to "White from the
"Watson nurseries at Topeka, Kan., now
on a Denver, Enid & Gulf siding, await-
ing final disposition. Charles H. Woods,
assistant solicitor of the Santa Fe, who
is representing the railroad in the mat-
ter, says that the Santa Fe will not
deliver the goods until they have been
carefully inspected, according to law, by
the entomologist of the A. and M. col-
lege. As the board of agriculture has
refused White a permit, it is not certain
that this inspection will be granted, and
there the matter stands.

Fifeshire, where his father was em-
ployed as a forester. His boyhood days
were spent on this beautiful place, where
the early love for gardening was imbued.
At the age of 15 he went as an appren-
tice to the Earl of Kosebery 's gardens
at Dalmeuy Park, near Edinburgh,
where he learned gardening under the
late John Moyes. His next place was at
Eiccarton, near Edinburgh, Sir James
Oibson Craig's place. Leaving here he
came to America in 1889 and found em-
ployment with Geo. C. Rand, at Law-
rence, Long Island. From there he went
to take charge of Henry Arthur's place
at Sands Point; then to Edward Mally's
place at New Haven, Conn. From there
he went to Washington to take charge of
Gardiner G. Hubbard's place. Twin
Oaks, where he has been for the past
fourteen years.

Mr. Bisset is a life member of the S.
A. F., a member of the National Geo-
graphic Society and secretary of St. An-
drews Society of Washington.

TO CONTROL THE SCALE.

C. L. Marlatt, entomologist in the U.
S. Department of Agrictulture, takes a
pessimistic view in a bulletin issued
March 10 in which he says that "the
San Jose scale is so widely disseminated
and has become so firmly established in
the principal deciduous-fruit regions of
this country that its extermination is
now, in most cases, out of the question.
In the main, therefore, the San Jose
scale must be recognized as a permanent
factor to be regularly dealt with as are
•other insect evils or the fungous dis-
eases of plants."

He goes on to say that extermination
is possible only where the scale is de-
tected at the very outset on new or re-
-cently planted nursery stock or, at least,
before any considerable chance of spread
has been afforded. It is true that by
the greatest care in the introduction of
nursery stock the San Jose scale may,
for years, perhaps, be kept out of dis-
tricts now free from it, and one is war-
ranted, therefore, in adopting every pre-
caution to avoid introducing this scale
and even to attempt extermination
■wherever the conditions are reasonably
favorable. There is only one method of
exterminating the scale, and that is by
digging up and burning all infested
trees. This is an heroic remedy and is
advised only under the conditions of very
recent introduction of nursery stock — in
•other words, where the scale is discovered
within a few months after the purchase
of the infested trees.

One of the main objects of the bul-
letin, therefore, is to emphasize the im-
portance and value of honest efforts to
control this insect for the great ma-
jority of districts where it has estab-
lished itself, rather than efforts at ex-
termination, which will at best rarely
prove successful and will always be ac-
companied with great immediate loss.
The other principal object is to desig-
nate briefly the means of control which
experience has shown to be of practical
value.

The methods of control which have
been especially followed in the eastern
states are (1) the lime-sulphur wash,
(2) the soap treatment, (3) treatment
with pure kerosene, (4) treatment with
crude petroleum, (5) treatment with
mechanical mixtures of either of the
last two oils with water, and (6) pe-
troleum emulsion with soap. All of
'these methods have proved themselves to

be successful against the San Jose scale
when properly carried out. As com-
pared with the lime-sulphur wash, the
next three mentioned are much more ex-
pensive, and the two oils, unless very
carefully applied, are more likely to
injure the treated plants. They are, on
the other hand, more certain to effect
nearly or quite complete extermination
of the scale.

One's choice of method must there-
fore be governed by availability, special
needs, and experience. In the main
these remedies, including the lime-sul-
phur wash, are winter treatments and
may be employed at any time when the
trees are in dormant, leafless condition.
The weaker oil-water mixtures and the
emulsions may, however, be used in the
growing season. The treatments enu-
merated are all for trees in the orchard.
Nursery stock badly enough infested to
require such treatment is best destroyed.
For the general disinfection of nursery
stock the hydrocyanic-acid-gas treatment
is the standard and only satisfactory
means.

FREE NURSERY STOCK,

J. W. Stubenrauch, a Texan, reports
that the government distribution of
nursery stock is progressing along the
same lines as has brought the free-seed
distribution into disrepute. "A few
days ago, in a veritable snowstorm with
a cold north wind, our rural carrier
seemed to be extra heavily loaded. Ask-
ing the cause was told, 'An overdose of
free seeds and plants.' When opening
a parcel that was directed to myself, be-
hold what I found: Two Lenoir and
two Herbemont grape vines, all the way
from Washington by mail, worth at the
most, if they were needed, 10 cents.
Jerusalem, what a gracious government!
No wonder we farmers are prospering
when we get such gifts. Now, the
Herbemont grape is one of the oldest we
have. Nurseries sell them at 5 cents
apiece by the 100. The Lenoir is not
worth standing room in our section of
country. I discarded them as worthless
twenty years or more ago."

HARTFORD. CONN.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club was held Friday evening, March
9, President Huss in the chair. The
annual election of officers took place
with the following result: President,
J. F. Huss (third term) ; vice-president,
Joseph Vidbourne; treasurer, Eobert
Scrivener; secretary, Alex. Gumming.

President Huss exhibited two plants
of a new type of balsam impatiens and
two fine specimens of the new hybrid.
Cineraria stellata, for which he was
awarded a certificate of merit.

The club as a body recorded its re-
gret at parting with its late efficient
secretary, C. N. Kuedlinger. Mr. Kued-
linger has been appointed forester on a
large estate near Minneapolis, Minn.,
and will leave for the west in a few
days. As a proof of the esteem in
which he has been held the club mem-
bers and other friends presented him
with a gold chain and appendage and he
leaves Hartford with the best wishes oj
the entire horticultural community.

Gentlemen— Our Club meeting last night was a
very successful one, with a very large and good dis-
play of roses. You will be glad to hear that the
"Miss Kate Moulton" arrived in good condition
and was successfully staged. We admired it
very much. I reported our meeting for "Horti-

what we think of it. We think it was very kind of
you and very plucky, too, to ship to us from Minne-
apolis in spite of the great distance, and in
behalf of the Club, I tender you our thanks.
Wishing you all success that the rose and your
courage deserve, I am,

Dear Sir -Your box of Rose "Miss Kate Moul-
ton" safely to hand yesterday, the 5th inst. It
arrived in splendid condition, which proves it to
be a splendid shinper. Unfortunately we did
not get it in time for our regular meeting, how-
ever we held a special meeting to consider it.
The committee awarded it a First-Class Certifi-
cate, and the unanimous opinion of all the mem ~
hers there (thirteen in number) was that it w as
well worthy of a certificate and the prettiest rose

MILWAUKEE.

Trade conditions have been on the
fluctuating order since the beginning of
Lent. Stock would accumulate in all
lines when there was a slump in trade
and, followed up by a brisk demand,
would clean up at fair figures. Bulbous
stock is coming in at its best now, but
no "get-rich-quick" prices are obtained.
Violets are moving slowly and quality
is on the wane. Carnations and roses
are moving fairly steady, but demand
is principally for cheaper grades. The
quality of stock now coming in is un-
usually fine; some Enchantress, Lia#son
and Lady Bountiful are equal to exhi-
bition stock.

Some growers are making prepara-
tions for an increase in glass, as the
season so far has been a profitable one.
Ben Gregory built two new houses last
season and expects to tear down the bal-
anefnof his old houses and erect new
ones in their place. The new addition
will mean two 200-foot houses and two
houses about 100 feet. Mr. Gregory also
erected an oflBce and show room and put
in a subway, which gives him direct un-
derground connection with his residence
from his greenhouses.

The park board will also erect several
houses the coming summer.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The New Bedford Florists' Club, at
its monthly meeting, elected the follow-
ing oflScers for the ensuing year: Presi-
dent, Peter Murray; vice president, E.
H. Chamberlin; secretary, S. S. Peck-
ham; treasurer, R. E. Noffts. Executive
committee: George Borden, E. Y.
Peirce, Arthur Ashley.

Wm. Linsey intends to build another
house in the spring.

S. S. Peckham is shipping his flowers
to New York.

Trade is quiet, but there is plenty of
funeral work. Flowers are cheaper this
year than they ever were before.

Peter Murray, of Fairhaven, is having
great success with the Winsor carnation.
He sells them faster than he can cut
them. Everyone claims it is "the" com-
ing carnation. F. C. C.

Elizabeth, N. J. — Early Sunday
morning an overheated pipe extending
from the boiler in the greenhouse of
K. E. Juul, 312 Walnut street, set fire
to the roof. Beyond upsetting Mr.
Juul's nerves little damage was done.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Tarrytown Horticultural Society was
held in the Vanderbilt building Tuesday
evening, February 27, Pres. Mooney in
the chair. James AViseman, larrytown,
N. Y., was elected an active member,
and Mrs. John Hennessey an hofftorary
member.

W. K. Wikes' prize, a sot of flower
vases, was won by Mr. Langle, of White
Plains, N. Y., with a fine bunch of
Farquhar violets. He also showed a
promising new variety, a sport from the
above.

. Mr. Ward, from Queens, Long Island,
N. Y., showed three fine vases of carna-
tions. Alma Ward, Kobert Craig and an
unnamed seedling.

F. E. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y.,
showed a fine vase of their new carna-
tion, Winsor, which is bound to make a
sensation when the stock Ls disseminated.
It certainly is a wonder; a beautiful
light pink in color.

David McFarlane showed a new va-
riety of tomato. Some of the fruit
stalks had from ten to twelve ripe toma-
toes on them.

Questions presented at the January
meeting and not answered were dis-
cussed, several of the members taking
part. Light refreshments followed.

TOLEDO, OHIO.

Toledo is the center for a large mar-
ket gardening and greenhouse section.
New glass is constantly being put up
here. The many inquiries for green-
house material and hotbed sash and con-
stantly increasing business in this line
have prompted the Maclaren & Sprague
Lumber Co. to give this a special de-
partment in. their establishment. The
greenhouse department is to be under
the management of E. B. Yaryan, vice-
president of the corporation, who is also
a heating engineer, and has installed
hot-water plants in a number of the best
known places in this section, notably at
George Bayer's. The Maclaren &
Sprague Co. is one of the largest in its
line in this vicinity and has been estab-
lished for thirty years with a well-
equipped woodworking plant.

TORONTO.

The Market.

louring the last two weeks trade has
not been up to the average. This is
more noticeable on account of the in-
creased supply in all lines and, while the
wholesalers' receipts are as good, per-
haps in excess of January and February,
yet much stock is being sacrificed in
order to keep down the supply. The only
exceptions are white roses and white
carnations, which are finding ready sale
and many orders are going short.

Various Notes. •**

E. Crowhurst, of Mimico, is at present
sending in some of the finest Lawson
and Enchantress seen in the Toronto
market, also some good longiflorum
lilies.

J, Many changes are noted among the
Toronto florists and we will not be sur-
prised to hear of other shifts. Dunlop's
King street store has been leased for a
cigar store, and we understand that they
will give up possession after Easter,
moving into their Yonge street store.

T. A. Plumb has sold his greenhouses
to Grobba & Wandrey, of Mimico. They
intend using these houses for growing
small ferns and palms and for general
stock houses for the holiday season.
These being within the city limits, it
gives them facilities for delivery on
short notice.

John Bryan, who for a number of
years has been at the head of the carna-
tion growing department for John H.
Dunlop, has taken the position of head
gardener at the central prison. This is
a government position and we under-
stand the salary is a very substantial
one. "We also understand that Mr. Tuck,
one of Dunlop's Beauty growers, has
handed in his resignation and will erect
greenhouses for himself. It is unfortu-
nate for Mr. Dunlop that he should lose
three of his best men within a few

We understand that John IMcKerri-
glian has about closed the deal for his
greenhouse on Davenport road, and is
now looking for a purchaser for his
store on College street. D. J.

Philadelphia, Pa. — Godfrey Asch-
mann reports trade fair in January, but
rather light in February; it is just gath-
ering headway for Easter. As usual,
he has his place filled to overflowing
with Easter stock, which he says is the
best quality he has ever offered, and has
a big lot of spring stock coming on.

The Market.

Trade has been much better this past
week tlian for some time. Prices have
softened quite a little, as there has been
a large increase in the supply of all
kinds of cut flowers, especially carna-
tions and bulbous stock of all sorts. Vio-
lets have also been in very ample sup-
ply. The florists feel very well satis-
fied, indeed, that the market has cleaned
up as well as it has, for certainly we
have had a big lot of stuff to work off.

Various Notes.

Graff Bros, have been having a violet
sale; they worked off a large quantity
in bunches of twenty-five flowers for
15 cents each.

The fakers are getting quite thick
about town; so far they have handled
carnations almost exclusively. The
morning price is 35 cents per dozen;
Saturday night it got down to 15 cents.

The Livingston Seed Co. has been re-
ceiving lately some splendid Princess of
Wales violets, which have found a ready
sale at good prices.

The first Florists ' Club meeting for
this month was held Tuesday evening,
March 6. President Stevens was in the
chair, and a goodly number of members
were present. A letter of invitation was
read from the American Rose Society,
most cordially urging our members to
attend the annual meeting and exhibition
of that society in Boston the last of
this month. After the regular business
was gone through with, all our members
took hold with a will, and began paper-
ing the seeds for the annual distribution
in the schools, the bulk seeds having
previously been secured from the Living-
ston Seed Co. After a long evening's
work, the meeting adjourned to next
Tuesday evening, when the work will be
continued. Zero.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Mabch 15, 1906.

SAN ANGELO, TEX.

Citizens of San Angelo, particularly
the flower-buying citizens, take much
pride in the fact that one of the most
up-to-date greenhouses in this part of
the country is located here. J. J. Nuss-
baumer is the proprietor and finds satis-
faction in the thought that his place is
about as well kept as a greenhouse can
be and that it excels most in the Lone
Star state. He grows a few of the finest
varieties of carnations, such as Mrs.
Lawson and Enchantress for light and
President for dark ; also, marguerites,
narcissi, pansies and Oloire de Lorraine
begonias. His Easter lilies are doing
fine and will bloom at the right time for
a good Easter trade.

The potting house and the propagat-
ing house adjoin the plant and cut flower
house. The houses radiate from a com-
mon center, the workroom, where every-
thing is arranged for the greatest con-
venience. Coal bins and the boiler arc
beneath tlie workroom. Connected witli
the room is a well-equipped office.

There are establishments that are
larger, but that tlie size of a house is no
criterion as to the quality of the plants
grown may readily be proven by a visit
to ^Ir. Nussbaunier 's place.

FIRST HAIL.

.lolni li. J-;sler. secretary of the Flo-
rists' Hail Association, reports the first
hail-storm of the season. It took place
at Dallas, Tex.. March 1, and hit the
Green Floral and Nursery Co. Of course
Col. Green was n member of the Hail
Association.

Sioux Cjtv. Ia.^ — The weekly bulletin
of the First Congregational Church for
March 4 said: "Since last Sunday one
of our members has departed. In the
death of J. C. Keunison this church has
lost a choice spirit, this city a valued
citizen, the Grand Army a loyal comrade.
Mr. Kennison scattered much sunshine
and good will. He has been very gen-
erous to the church and his friends with
flowers. He has given the communion
flowers to this church for many years.
We extend our sympathy to the bereaved
family. ' '

NORTHERN TEXAS.

Warm one day, cold the next, ^vith
high winds every day, has been our ex-
perience the past week, majting it a
hard proposition to move around. Easi-
ness has been excellent so far. Eeports
from different places in this section give
the increase of business so far this year
from thirty to sixty per cent. Stock
is looking fine and those days that will
allow of people moving around bring
good business to the florists, as this is
the season when nearly everybody wants
to plant out, and the demand for blooms
exceeds the amount grown.

Bulbous stock is up out-doors; I find
that the call is not for common, but for
first-class stock, as we are told that the
customers have plenty of common
flowers. Sweet peas are about six inches
high, peonies nearly a foot high, lilacs
nearly in full bloom; fruit trees are in
full bloom.

Narcissi are all planted and there will
be none for Easter. I find that when
the bulbs are flatted up, as we used to
do north, the bulbs come up very quickly
and are soon gone. But the bulbs will
keep in this climate without sprouting
all winter. I planted some two weeks
ago which are coming now in full bloom.
This is true of Eoman hyacinths and nar-
cissi. The Dutch bulbs I planted in
November are now peeping through the
litter and will come in nicely for Easter.
The Keizerskroon is something new here,
and when a bloom shows, is eagerly
snapped up. Harrisii is showing color
and it will be hard to keep them until
wanted. Carnations are looking good,
and in some places are doing fine. Val-
ley is also looking good and prices are
keeping up well. Potted stock is com-
mencing to move lively.

There is a craze for landscape work;
the demand for hardy stock is increas-
ing, and promises to be very lively next
fall. There has been quite a large num-
ber of funerals, which have cleared up
all the stock, and the number of social
functions is on the increase, keeping
things lively.

J. W. Goree, of Whitewright, met with
bad luck last week while away from
home. His fireman, not knowing much
about boilers, allowed gas to escape into
the house, ruining the entire stock of
roses.

H. O. Hannah & Son, of Sherman,
have rebuilt their furnace room, which
was destroyed by fire two weeks ago.
Some of the stock was damaged a little
by smoke, but it was not serious.

The nurserymen in this section find it
a hard matter to get enough help to
move their stock, which is increasing
rapidly each year. Narcissus.

Eureka, III. — C. E. Brady, of the
firm of Brady & Son, died March 8. He
was 63 years old and had resided in this
vicinity for thirty years.

THE WEEDER FOR FLORISTS

The inner edge is sharp. Its oval shape permits the operator to weed behind the plants while
standing in front. The pushing edge is thin enough to work easily through the soil, but too dull to
damage the stems of the plants should it come in contact with them.

It takes out the weeds and leaves the surface smooth. What's more, it does all the work so
rapid it will pay for itself in one day's use.

U=Bar Greenhouses

ARE THEIBEST
GREENHOUSES BUILT

No other form of greenhouse
construction compares with the
U-Bar type for lightness, strength,
durability, adaptability, simplicity
and conformity to all horticultural
and architectural requirements. It
is a clean departure from the old
methods of construction and a
great step in advance. A promi-
nent gardener writes us: "My
predictions are that all up-to-date
horticulturists will demand this
type of construction in the future."
With those anticipating the erec-
tion of a greenhouse, we will be
pleased to correspond or have rep-
resentative confer in person.

TRISSED HOISE QliESTION

It is nothing new wifii us tiiis using of
trusses in greeniiouse construction.

For years we have used the truss to eliminate columns or other members when in the
way. The truss has always been a regular stock matter with us, but we have now carried
it a bit farther, leaving out additional supporting members and perfecting an ideal trussed
house. We base our trussing on the principles adopted by the best engineers in the
country We truss two ways: Along the purlin at every sixth bar with struts at every
other bar, and from the ridge to eaves on every sixth, tying the house together with the
necessary crossties.

Other forms of truss construction strut at every fourth bar, which, of course, increases
the shading members and also adds to the expense of the house. The sashbar we use is
increased in depth and decreased in width. This, of course, casts less shade and greatly
increases the strength of the bar. At the ridge we secure the sashbars with wrought iron
hold-fasts, which are secured directly to the bars and on to the ridge piece. This prevents
all possibility of the house spreading.

Another feature is the use of our new gutter. Now, this li^w gutter is a subject that
will interest you greatly, so next week we will talk gutter.

It Is not always a question of the new, tout the use of the
old thin; a new way. That Is what our trussed house Is.

f TO PROTECT OWNERS OF

[ HORTICULTURAL NOVELTIES.^

The subject of adequate protection
for the originator or owner of a horti-
-cultural novelty has been discussed be-
fore trade societies since time imme-
morial. The matter was thought to have
been covered by previous copyright and
trade-mark laws but these were found
inadequate and a few days ago Represen-
tative Allen, of Maine, introduced in
congress the following:

A bill authorizing the registration of
the names of horticultural products and
to protect the same:

Be it enacted by the Senate and Hoiisi.
of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled, Tliat
any person who has discovered, origi-
nated, or introduced any new variety
of plant, bush, shrub, tree, vine or other
horticultural product, and gives and ap-
plies thereto a name, shall, upon applica-
tion to the Commissioner of Patents, have
such name registered in the United
States Patent Office under tlie provisions
of the act entitled "An act authorizing
the registration of trade-marks used in
commerce with foreign nations, or among
the several states or with Indian tribes,
and protect the same, ' ' approved Febru-
ary twentieth, nineteen hundred and five:
Provided, That no name for which ap-
plication for registration under the pro-
visions of this act may be made shall be
refused registration unless such name —

(a) Is identical with a previously
registered name for the same variety of
product ;

(b) Is identical with a known un-
registered name for the same variety of
product belonging to a person other than
the applicant; or

(c) Has been dedicated to the public
by the discoverer or originator of such
variety.

Sec. 2. That every certificate of regis-
tration issued on an application for the
registration of a name of a horticultural
product shall contain a grant to the
registrant, the legal representatives or
assigns of such registrant, for the term
of twenty years of the exclusive right to
propagate for sale and vend such variety
or horticultural product under the name
so registered throughout the United
States and Territories thereof; Pro-
vided, That the fniits or flowers pro-
duced from such registered variety or
varieties may be sold by any person
whatsoever for any purpose other than
that of propagation.

Sec. 3. That all applications for the
registration of horticultural names ap-
plied for as trade-marks pending in the
office of the Commissioner of Patents at
the time of the passage of this act may
be amended with a view of bringing
them, and the certificates issued upon
such applications, under its provisions,
and the prosecutions of such applications
may be proceeded with under the provis-
ions of this act.

Upon receipt of word of the proposed
bill, which was referred to the House
Committee on Patents, the nursery in-
terests of Rochester held a meeting at
which all the leading firms were repre-
sented. It was the unanimous opinion
of men like Chas. J. Maloy, of Ellwan-

ger & Barry; Chas. J. Brown, of Brown
Bros. Co., president of the American
Retail Nurserymen's Protective Associa-
tion; O. G. Chase, of Chase Bros. Co.;
Wm. Pitkin, president of the National
Association of Retail Nurserymen and
secretary of the Eastern Association of
Nurserymen; Irving Rouse, the widely
known importer, and others that the bill
is inimical to the best interests of the
nursery trade and a plan was outlined
for work against it. The Rochester
representative in Congress T^as asked to
see that the bill is not passed until tlie
wishes of the nursery interests can he
consulted and President Albertson, pr<>si-
dent of the National Association of Nur-
serymen, has been advised that the bill
is safely buried in committee where it
will remain until such time as a request
for its passage comes from the trades
affected.

Here is the opinion of a leading nur-
seryman on the bill:

This bill seems to me too broadly
drawn. It would tend to encourage
fraud. If the public should be protected
by having the Agricultural Department
test and pass on the merit of tiie ])ro-
posed patented article before dissemina-
tion it would perhaps remove the most
serious objection. Still, even then, it is
a question if the introducer would not
do better and make more money in open
competition. I do not believe that you
will find much indorsement for this kind
of a bill among the nursery trade.

Irving Rousk.

The following letter sets forth the
opinion pf a firm which is among the
largest buyers and distributers of new-
things in all departments of the trade :

We think the main objection tiic
nurserymen have to the bill is the i)ro-
teetion that it would give to those who
had articles that were absolutely of no
value. Anybody could register anything,
and the only thing they would have to
do would be to select some name that
was not already applied to other fruit.
There seems no provision to find out
whether the articles registered were an
improvement on old sorts or not, and you
can readily see how all kinds of fakes
could be put out a great deal easier and
better than they can now.

The originator of anything new tliat
is desirable always puts it out at a
high price, and should get a fair re-
muneration for his expenses the first
year or two that it is introduced. Wo paid
$15 for six small plum trees this spring,
a new variety to test. We would sell
anybody six better trees for $1 of any
of the old standard sorts. Under this
new arrangement we would be prohibited
for twenty years from using any of the
buds or propagating wood from these
six trees, although the introducer is get-
ting good pay tor the new fruit, in the
price he is charging, the first year or
two, before nurserymen get to propagat-
ing it, and it seems to us that such a
law would simply put a damper on the
trade for all new things. One man could
not introduce and furnish all the trade
might want in a good many years if it

amounted to apything. If it did not
amdnnt to anything uq one would care
to invest money in anything he could
not propagate, while the introducer
would have papers from Washington to
make peo])le believe that it was all right.
Stokrs & HakuisoxX Co.,

Per J. H. Davtoii.

ITeic is ti'e way a leading seed house
looks at the matter :

If this bill were to become a law and
if section two of it would hold good in
practice as in theory, it would be a good
thing for the registrant and would have
no material effect on the trade in gen-
eral, inasmuch as all would have the
same chance to buy and sex^ the artick-
unaer the conditions. We do not see,
however, how anyone could be legally
prevented from disposing of auy sur-
plus seed he might grow from any ac-
quired quantity of it. Such being the
case, the matter would stand just as it
does at present, viz.: The originator
would only have tlie benefit of the high
price for his novelty at the time of its
introduction.

When ''Cleveland's Alaska" pea was
introduced a number of years ago it
was registered under the trade-mark law
and the originator endeavored to have
his right to the name protected under
the law. There was a ruling made that
he had a right to the name as it stood
but this did not prevent others from sell-
ing Alaska peas the following season;
neither did it prevent them from stating
that what they ottered had been grown
from "Cleveland" stock.

We recognize the right that a man
would have to get a better price for
something that he would give especial
attention to and insofar as his name
attached to the article would benefit him
in any way, we think that it would be :<
good thing to protect him in it, at the
same time considering the trouble that
would arise in establishing exclusive
rights, and the short time that the extra
value of any seed novelty lasts, we hard
ly think it would be worth anyone 's
while to bother about it.

Leonard Seed Co.

Here is the opinion of a man who is
not only the raiser of numerous novelties
but the disseminator of many raised by
others :

Should the proposed bill boconie a law-
it would mean the placing of the origi-
nator of a new plant, be it fruit or
flower, on the same plane with the in-
ventor of a new machine or auy hith-
erto undiscovered process or valuable
recipe. If this were done it would onlv
be doing simple justice to the hybridist
or plantsman who, by his own genius or
handiwork, jiroduced a valuable new
fruit or a new variety of flowering plant.

It would greatly stimulate the efforts
now being put forth and horticulture,
and in no less degree floriculture, would
be the beneficiaries of the renewed work
in this line. All argument which gives
the right of the mechanic to the benefit
of the fruit of his labor would apply
with equal force in the domain of pomol-
ogy or floriculture.

I think in equity such a law should
be passed, for it would prove of incal-
culable benefit to the trade at large, in
that it would protect not only the origi-
nator or holder of the certificate of reg-
istration, but would enable the partj- in
interest to control the markets for a time
at least should the new plant or fruit
prove of value.

Whether the bill covers the case in all

its details I am not lawyer enough -to
say, but from my viewpoint it seems
like a move in the right direction. Jf
the time-limit for tlie letters of registra-
tion were made ten years from date of
issue it would seem ample as I view it.
I confess the bill deserves better thought
and more time tliaii I have been able
to give it, but 1 cannot help thinking
it is only a fair ileal for the originator
of ;i new plant. E. G. Hill.

CAREFUL PACKING.

I n this season, when the cutting and
plant shipments are very numerous, it
is worth while to say a word on the
sub.iect of packing. The man who packs
stock well but lightly has a decided ad-
vantage over the shipper who doesn 't,
quality of stock being equal. An in-
stance was reported the other day where
fifty rose cuttings were ordered by a

mart in Texas. They came to him packed
in an old shoe blacking case, weighing
eight pounds when empty, and the ex-
press charges were $1.75.

Shippers who care to see their busi-
ness grow have several things to do :
First, they must send out good stock;
it must give satisfaction. Second, it
must he packed so that it will travel
safely, but at the same time regard must
be had for the amount of express
charges, especially on long shipments.
Third, every complaint must have a
courteous answer, and promptly; it is
an excellent rule to have all of the goods
returned if part are claimed to be un-
satisfactory, and refund the money if
another shipment is not desired; enclose
a printed slip to that effect. Fourth,
when you are nearly sold out of stock,
cut that item out of your advertisement
in the Eeview.

Shifting the Geraniums.

We have for two weeks been busy
^iiiftiug geraniums from .3-inch to 4-inch
pots. We should like to leave this job
rill after Easter, when we have more
room, but this year that would mean
April 20 before wo could get around to
it ;ind then the tinu> would be too short
between the shift and tiie time of plant-
ing out, or when there is the greatest
denmnd for them.

Some neighbors lomplain tliat the leaf

■ liscase is more prevalent than over.
While the roots are apparently quite
lioMlthy, the leaf is curled and puckered
ami the flower amounts to nothing. We
noxcr have been .seriously troubled with
this disease excejit (jn the good old Emile
'k' (Jirardino and it was so addicted to
it that the variety became useless. We
!ia\e always; considered it more the re-
sult of unfavorable conditions than any
spcL'itic disease, but 1 should like to have
tlu> opinion of Prof. J. C. Arthur, of
i!idiana. or some other able plant
pathologist. One thing I know, it will
iu\er pay to bother with these 10-cent
])lants if once attacked. "Kaus mit

■ l.'in.''

Compost to Use.

In the last shift of these ever-popn-
hu' bedding plants do not use much ani-
mal manure. Sod that was piled up
last suininer. if of a heavy texture, is
ideal, and in place of manure or leaf-
mold, whii-h produces leaf growth, use
l.oiie meal or flour. We add a fifth
of old hotbed compost to the loam,
wiiicli must be devoid of ammonia, but it
makes the potting soil more porous. Pot
firmly and stand the plants on a per-
fectly light bench where they will get
the full blaze of the sun.

Plunging versus Shading.

By the middle of May, if they dry
out too frequently, it is much better to
plnnL'e the plants on the bench than to
shade them. Use tan bark or decayed
stable manure, but best of all is refuse
hops, if you are not in a prohibition
state. There is no need to plunge them

to the rims of the pots, or with the
care you would a fruiting pineapple, but
just throw two or three inches of the
material against the last row and then
push up another row. A man or lad who
knows his business will set or stand
over almost as many pots in a day as
^e will on the usual %-inch of sand or
ashes. The difference in color, robust-
ness and vigor of geraniums and many
other plants so treated, is remarkable
compared to those exposed to the daily
drying out process, at least in our cli-
mate. The continuous use of the hose
soon exhausts the soil. The effect of
this partial protection of the pot is not
from any stimulant, but from the uni-
form moisture of the roots which re-
sults.

In speaking of bone dust, or any of
the finer grades of this excellent fer-
tilizer, it is very necessary that you
procure it pure. We have indisputable
evidence that hundreds of tons of
hydraulic cement, which in appearance
much resembles bone dust, is shipped to
fertilizer works and you can guess it is
not used for concrete or building water-
tight cisterns.

Acacia Armata.

Eeferring once more to Easter plants,
the attractive Acacia armata has a bad
habit of many of the little globular yel-
low blossoms turning brown a few days
after they are fully developed. There-
fore 1 think it best to bring this pretty
plant out slowly and only giving suffi-
cient heat a few days or a week before
you expect to sell them. When fully out
for ten days we have lost the sale of
many plants by losing the flowers, as
stated above. There is no telling what
the weather will be. It has before now
upset all our prearranged program.

Timing Easter Crops.

Single tulips it will be well to give
seventeen or eighteen days in a light
house, at about 55 degrees. Von Sion,
any of the early narcissi, and Dutch
hyacinths often need only two weeks in
the greenhouse. At this time of the

year much will also depend on the con-
dition of the bulbs out of doors. If
frost has penetrated the covering of soil
and has held the bulbs in arrest they
will need several more days indoors than
if they have been growing all winter un-
der protection and are almost ready to
pop their petals open with a few days of
genial heat and light. This will be ex-
ercise for the gray matter and will be
more profitable study than memorizing
the individual scores of the ladies of
the Kalamazoo Bowling Club.

Altemantherju

The most useful of carpet bedding
plants, the alternantheras, will want at-
tention between now and the first of
April. Some growers will have struck
plants from cuttings taken in August
and put into flats as per advice in these
columns; others, where very large quan-
tities are used, lifted the old plants and
after trimming them back put them in
three or four inches of light soil in
flats. In any case, if further quantities
are needed, any fragment of the plant
will root in a short time and after a
few days in the house can be put into
a hotbed with the old plants. They can
be divided and potted and go into a
hotbed by the middle of April, or you
can defer dividing the old plants till the
above date and just plant them into
two or three inches of soil on the sur-
face of the hotbeds.

Some may wonder at a twentieth cen-
tury florist recommending such old-fash-
ioned structures as hotbeds, but I do for
two reasons: First, the alternanthera
will make more growth in a hotbed in
two weeks than it will in two months in
the lightest and warmest bench in an ex-
pensive house.

Tuberous-rooted Begonias.

Tuberous-rooted begonias and gloxin
ias can be started now, the former for
bedding plants, the latter for summer-
flowering window plants. Begonia bulbs
one year old are very quickly started by
using flats of two or three inches depth
and half full of light loam, with one
inch of sand on the surface. Bed the
bulbs half their depth in the sand and
place the flats over some mild hot-water
pipes. They will soon make a bunch of
roots and send out leaves and should
then be potted, the strongest in 4-inch
and others in 3-inch pots.

If intended for bedding here again is
a case where the hotbed is better than
a greenhouse, not the hotbed that old
gardeners made for cucumbers and
melons, four feet deep. If it is only a '
foot in depth after treading down and
four inches of some refuse loam is put
on top, it will be sufficient warmth for
most bedding plants.

The Second Reason.

And this reminds me that I did not
give my second reason for advocating
these primitive greenhouses: It is that
if the materials are thrown in a heap
at midsummer, the following winter it is
a most excellent material for lighten-
ing soil, an excellent substitute for genu-
ine leaf -mold and a little better. Plunged
in a mild hotbed, the begonias can be
given the full sunlight, plenty of ven-
tilation and after the middle of May
the sash can be removed entirely, fitting
the plants for their future environment.

The tuberous begonias are not well
thought of as bedding plants. I think
it is because the experimenters have
tried only large plants grown soft in a
shaded house.

Gloxinias.

The first short story the writer ever
penned for a floricultural paper was on
the gloxinia, and I can't improve on it.
Start the bulbs in 3-inch pots in a night
temperature of 55 degrees to 60 degrees.
After the first watering very little is
needed till the leaves start. "When the
leaves extend to the edge of the pot
or a little more, shift int(^the flowering
pot, a 5-inch or 6-inch. Pur a few crocks
in the pot and cover them with a piece
of wood or green moss, not sphagnum ;
it rots too quickly. You cannot put
any greenhorn or fossil at shifting
gloxinias or many of their leaves will
be broken. The leaves should never be
wet if you can avoid it and if you do
wet them facility should be given for
them to quickly dry oflf, and perhaps
that is why the best we ever raised
were elevated on inverted 6-inch pots
and plenty of room allowed between
each plant. They want water when they
need it. A gardener knows what that
means. They should be moderately
moist. If allowed to get very dry the
blossoms will wilt and shrivel and, like
grandfather's clock, never go again.

Stevia Serrata.

The few old plants of sweet stevia
you cut down after New Year's should
l)e covered with cuttings. Put them in
the sand. This rank growing plant is
of easiest culture. All you need is some
nice little plants in 3-inch pots by the
first of June for planting out in the
field in a not too rich but light soil.

Gypsophila Paniculata.

I. cannot let you make the mistake of
not having a few dozen plants of Gypso-
phila paniculata (baby's breath) on
your place. You can sow the seeds at
once and have plants that will flower
freely this summer, or if you don't suc-
t-eed with seeds, buy a few dozen plants.
It is one of the best rock-work plants,
but grows freely in any ordinary .garden
soil. It adds grace and lightness to any
bouquet or design and is the savior of
many otherwise crude formal piece and
stiff bunch of flowers. It is to a summer
bouquet just what our Stevia serrata is
to formal -flowers in winter. Our most
refined ladies ask for this delicate and
refined baby's breath.

Seeds to Sow.

Here are some of the seeds that should
be sown now or a few days later: Tro-
pKolum for baskets and veranda boxes;
thunbergia for baskets; ten weeks'
stocks, balsams, zinnia, celosia, several
kinds: linaria and maurandia. Pyre-
thrum Golden Feather, and cobsea. Sow
eobsea in a flat of light sandy soil, and
unless you know the proper end to in-
sert into the soil it will be all right to
push the seed about two-thirds its breadth
in the soil on edge. Do not sow it flat
as you would most all seeds. No covering
of soil is needed. William Scott.

SIGN ^EM.

The Beview is always glad to answer
queries, especially on topics not of every-
day discussion. But those who send
queries must sign their names to receive
attention. Just at this time a great
many ask, ' * How far developed should
my lilies be?" and forget to add their
signature. If the question is not of
general interest reply is made by mail
if a stamp is sent.

A THANKFUL WINTER BLOOMER

Henry Schmidt, Union Hill, N. J., is
a large grower uf Primula ohcoiiica,
and says he finds it "a very thankful
winter bloomer." The specimen illus-
trated certainly looks wholesome. Al-
though Bailey, in his Cyclopedia of
American Horticulture, in commenting
on Primula obconica, renarks tiiat it
' * is very easily grown, ' ' the degree of
its thankfulness, as with aioro difficult
subjects, largely depends upon the qual-
ity of the culture given. Mr. Schmidt
uses the variety P. olicoiiica grandifiora
compacta, and the plant illustrated is
growing in a 6-inch azalea pan. Grandi-
fiora, of course, produces larger flowers
than the type, and Mr. Schmidt says
that he finds the compact form to he
preferred. He makes seed sowings at
intervals, beginning in April, to have a
continuous supply of stock.

EASTER PLANTS.

[A paper by David liUUisdeii, read befort- the
Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Boston, March
20, 1906.]

There is something mysterious at tiio
approach of the Easter festival that in-
spires us with zeal and ambition. The
very plants themselves seem to herald
the approach of Easter. The lily, the
queen of Easter fiowers, appears to wear
a whiter gown than at other seasons of
the year, as Dame Nature smiles and
adds beauty and coloring to all flowers;
from the glorious rose to the humble
little violet, all share in gladdening the
hearts of some during Eastertide. It
also imbues mankind with new hopes
and ambition, and a spirit of generosity
is prevalent on all sides, not only in the
homes of the wealthy, but also in the
humble abodes of the cottagers. Each
shares in trying to make someone happy
on that glad day by sending a box of
flowers or a plant with Easter greetings,
also, from time immemorial it has been
customary to decorate our churches witii
Easter plants and flowers, and tlic very
plants and flowers themselves extend to
all an Easter greeting and .seem to s:iy.

"The cold weather and snows are now
over, the happy si)ringtirae is at hand. ' '
Also, thousands make the first visit of
the season to the cenieteries to adorn
the graves of tiieir loved ones with
flowers. I could speak in this strain for
a length ot time, but it is somewhat
diverting from my text; yet feel I could
not let the opportunity ])aHS without mak-
ing a few remarks regarding the Easter
festival.

I do not purpose tonight to enter into
minute details as to the culture of the
Easter i)lants, as time would not permit
me to do so but will try and treat eacli
subject as briefly as possible.

Lily Ranks First.

First and foremost ranks the lily.
Picture yourselves wliat Easter would be
without the lily! Each year sees more
lilies grown than the ])revious year, and
every year sees the lily more in evidence.
Our lily bulbs we receive during the fall
months from Japan and the Bermudas,
liilium longiflorum and types. They are
then [xitted up. Some growers pot them
immediately into their flowering pots,
which is considered a saving of labor,
while others pot the bulbs into 4-inch or
5-inch pots, to be repotted later, wheM._
well rooted and active growth has conk
menced, the soil used being a good,
heavy, fibrous loam with a liberal dress
ing of well decomposed manure, with
the addition of a little sand to keep the
soil open. They are then placed in a
cold frame covered with about threi
inches of loam, the surface of the soil
previously having been covered with a
layer of sand or jushes. After watering
in order that when taken out of the
frame the covering loam will not adhere
to the pots, they are next covered witii
leaves, old straw, or anything available,
and shutters plac^ed o\er them until from
the middle to the end of December, when
they are taken out and ])laced in a house
temperature of about (JO degrees nights.
By that tinu' tliey should l)e well rooted
and should have commenced to show
signs ot growth. The grower who pots
liis l)ultis in their tiowerini' iiots at first

lias, of course, to commeuce to feed his
lilies earlier than the grower who gives
thi'iii a shift when they are well rooted
in the small pots.

Unfortunately for the lily grower, dis-
ease is prevalent and we have found Jio
means of detecting it until the lily is
well in foliage, so that considerable ex-
pense has been added before it is thrown
out.

Kegarding the correct temperature to
^row lilies to bo in flower for Easter,
it would be a difficult matter for me to
state, as so much depends on the weather.
But the main point is to get the bulbs
well established or rooted before you
(!ommence to force them. As I have
j)reviously stated, a night temperature of
aliout 60 degrees from January 1 should
bring them along all right. Of counso
you are aware that all bulbs do not ma-
ture at exactly the same time in their
native habitat, so growing lilies for Kas-
tcr trade necessitates a good deal of
moving and shifting from house to house
to have them all in good shape for Eas-
ter, It is far better to err in the way
of being a little early than to have to
Corce them during the last minute, as it
naturally make" tliem soft and impairs
tlicir keeping quality. They are not so

up, -placed in a house kept at a tempera-
ture of 38 degrees to 40 degrees and
brought in the forcing house at a tem-
perature of (30 degrees from time to
time, as required.

The varieties most suitable for Easter
trade are Bernhard Andreas alba, double
white; Emperor du Bresil, double rose;
Empress of India, rich rosy salmon ;
Mmc. Vander Cruyssen, semi-double
crimson; Professor Wolters, single, un-
dulated pink, white margin; Haaren-
seana or Easter Ladj-, double salmon
shaded white; Dr. Moore, double deep
rose, a very fine variety.

Strange to say, with few exceptions
the single varieties of Azalea •Indica do
not sell well with the commercial florist,
although they are among the best in
coloring and form of flower.

Dwarf azaleas on their own roots mak(>
jiretty plants for Easter and comma ml a
ready sale. The varieties are Chas. Enke,
single salmon with white margin; ilarie
Louise, single Avhite striped rose, and
Firefly, semi-double crimson scarlet and
a very desirable variety.

Rhododendrons.

Kliododcndrons we treat practically the
same as azaleas, with the exception

Azalea Indica.

XexT ill importance to the lily comes
tlie :!/.al(a. whiidi we receive in large
(|uantities eacii year from Belgium (hir-
ing the i;ivlv fall. They are then ])otted

th;it I liddo.lendrons must lie shaded
heavily during forcing or the leaves
will burn and (iislignre the plants. The
varieties liest adajited for forcing pur-
po.ses are' Blandyanum, deep rosy crim-
son; Kverestianum, rosy lilac; John
Waterer, deep amar.-inth; Kate Waterer,
rosy crimson, yellow center; i\lme. Car-
vallio, blush changing to pure white;
Mrs. K. S. Tlolt'ord, rich salmon; Prince

Camille " de Kohan, white with brown
spots, and Princiess Louise, white edged
with rosy purple.

The rhododendron, althougk such a
desirable Easter plant, does not sell
readily, a limited quantity only being
sold.

G-imson Rambler.

The Crimson Earabler rose ia a stand
ard Easter plant with us all. Strong
plants from the field may be lifted dur
ing the month of November, potted and
kept cool for at least one month, the
shoots having been shortened back to
about four feet. When commencing to
force, start them slowly, allowing about
twelve to fourteen weeks, which will be
none too much time to allow them to be
in nice shape for Easter.

I may here state that it is not policy
to allow the shoots to run up straight.
You get better results by training them
around stakes in the pots. They make
more even growth and much better
shaped plants.

The Baby Rambler also will become
a very valuable addition to our Easter
plants, treated practically the same way
as the Crimson Rambler, with the ex-
ception of not being trained around the
stakes. If judiciously pruned before
starting it needs no stake at all, and
being of a very floriferous nature and
compact growth, makes a handsome
little plant which will sell at sight.

In hybrid roses in pots for Easter we
have to mention Ulrich Brunner, Magna
Charta, American Beauty and Gen.
Jacqueminot.

Other Choice Stock.

Hydrangea Otaksa makes a nice plant
for Easter, but the sale is only limited.

Astilbe Japonica and varieties, better
known as spiraea, is also grown as an
Easter plant by some, also in large
quantities for cutting for Memorial
day.

Lilacs are used in quantity for Easter
trade, and the varieties most suitable
for forcing are Marie Legraye, white,
and Charles X, purple.

Acacia armata or paradoxa is a desir-
able plant. When treated like the aza-
leas it readily can be forced for Easter.

Cytissus, better known as genista, al-
though we cannot class it as a good
house plant, owing to its flowers and
leaves dropping, caused by the dry air
in the room, sells well at Easter. The
deep yellow of the flowers as well as the
profusion in which they are borne
tempts the buyer. The variety race-
mosus is the best seller. Canariensis is '
a trifle deeper in color.

The Geranium.

I would not be doing my duty if I
omitted everybody's plant, the gerani-
um, irom my list of Easter plants. With
due respect to all other plants, the ge
ranuim stands without a peer in its class
and many persons who cannot afford to
jiay the ])rice for a lily wdl gladly pay
L'o cents for a geranium for Easter. Ge-
raniums also made up in bulb pans,
about four plants to a pan, with nice
flowers make a very attractive Easter
gift and command ready sale.

In no matter what situation "we find
the geranium, it exists and even flowers
in the dimly lighted garret as well as
in the palace of the millionaire.

Then, too, the geranium is grown in
large quantities to be presented to the
scholars of the various Sunday schools
on Easter, and it is a real pleasure to
watch the little ones leaving the schools

which lovo is never forgotten.

Bulbous Stock.

In bulbs for Easter we find larj^'c
i|uuntities of the Dutch hyacinth
grown, from live to n dozen bulbs in a
pan and when well grown and not too
far out they make an attractive Easter
plant. The following varieties are
among the best: Gertrude, rosy j)ink;
Norma, a fine pink; La (Jrandesse, extra
tine variety, pure white, large spike; in
nocence, pure white, massive spike; <'has.
Dickens, dark blue, compact spike, and
< 4 rand Maitre, porcelain buie.

Tulips in variety in pans also com-
mand a ready sale, the following being a
few of the best single tulips: Belle Al
liance, scarlet ; Couleur Cardinal, ])ron7.e
scarlet; Due Van Tholl, scarlet ; Keizers-
kroon, bright red witli broad yellow edge.
extra large uower; La Beine, pure white,
a good forcing variety; Mons Tresor.
golden yellow, extra large flower ; Ro»v
Orisdelin, one of the best pink tulips in
cultivation, and Yellow Prince, a fine
yellow variety.

Tn double varieties we have Coronne
d "Or, yellow; La Candeur, white; Mu-
rillo, pink; Salvator, rose, and Tourne-
sol, red anri yellow.

In narcissi. Von Sion takes the lead
and for cutting and pan work it is a
good variety to hantlle. Bicolor, Hors-
fieldii, (lolden 8pur and Princeps are
all valuable varieties.

Lily of the valley, both cut and in
pots and paiLs. is invalualde for Easter
<lpcoration.

The True Genius.

There are other valuable Easter plants
T have not mentioned, including various
made uji combinations of flowering

jdants in pots and pans that time will
not permit i\je to speak on. So T shaii
briefly conclude my i)aper by stating
that any plants well grown in tlower at
Easter will find a ready sale. We some-
times hear it remarked Avhen we see
well grown plants brougnt into our
cities: "That grower is quite a genius."
I think that the word genius is truly
applicable to a good grower, for (!ar-
lyle defined that word where he states:
"Genius is at first little more than an
infinite capacity for taking pains."

DAYTON FLORISTS ORGANIZE.

The florists of Dayton held a second
meeting at the store of J. B. Ileiss on
the evening of Monday, March 12, and
formed a permanent organization to be
known as the Dayton Florists ' ( 'lub.
Officers were elected as follows: Presi-
dent, J. B. Heiss; secretary. Harry
Frank; treasurer, H. II. Ritter.

Since the meeting of the executive
committee of the S. A. P.. a great ileal
of hard work has been done and at this
meeting a guarantee fund of .$,3,.")()(i was
subscribed to insure the success of the
August convention. Much outside sii|>-
I)ort is being received and all corpora
tions, city and county officials are leml
ing all possible aid. Application has
been made to the board of public ser-
vice for free water for tlie use of the
gardeners at the fair grounds in caring
for the outdoor trade display.

A number of new ideas were discust^ed
at the recent meeting and it is iiasuretl
that the convention will be one of tiie
best the society has ever held. Com-
mittees have ])een appointed, on rail-
roads, hotels, exhibits, ladies' entertain-
ments, etc., and the work is now well
under way. The club will ludd frecnieiir,
meetings from now until the convention
davs.

THE COAL STRIKE.

The week 's developments make a gen-
eral tie-up of the coal industry seem
rather less likely than a week ago. Each
side appears to hesitate to precipitate
a conflict that will have such far-reach-
ing effect upon so many lines of indus-
try. It is not by any means certain that
trouble Avill be avoided and florists
everywhere should see that they havp
a reserve supply of fuel in anticipation
of possible trouble April 1.

PRIMULA POISONING.

I have noticed from time to time sev
oral correspondents complaining of the
poisonous ert'ects of Primula obconica,
and having had some experience of the
same kind, both myself and my helji,
and having tried a good many remedies
with little benefit, I offer one of my
own. If those who are poisoned by
handling primula will bathe their hands
freely in good, sharp vinegar I believe
they will be relieved from the poisonous
efl'ects, as I have never failed to be re
lieved if 1 used it in time.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

It is announced that an exhibition of
South African fruit is to be held at the
Koyal Agricultural hall. London, dune
2'2 to 24. The exhibition will no doubt
be an excellent medium to bring before
intending emigrants the exceptional
values of South Africa as a fruit-grow-
ing colony.

There is much activity at present in
market establishments in building addi-
tional glass houses. A large number of
growers throughout the country, and
more especially around Tjondon, are
making very extensive additions. An
immense number of tomato houses es-

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

March 22, li;»06.

peeially are being rapidly completed,
for tomb,to» growing is a tftide in wMch
growers are fairly safe, as it only re-
(luires the prices to fall so that ordinary
quality. is in reach of the masses for the
markets to be rapidly cleared.

Grape growers do not appear to
grumble so much at the present time,
when getting only 1 shilling per pound
for bept indoor grapes, as they did
years ago when receiving 4 or 5 shillings,
or even more. At that time growers
comj^lained that good grapes could not
be grown at the then prevailing prices,
and yet they certainly now appear to be

living and doing fairly well. No doubt
the cost of production is cheapened to
meet the requirements of these mod-
ern times.

I am informed a motor wagon service
is being formed to run between London
and the Southampton fruit districts
during the coming season, which will be
most convenient for growers, enabling
them to get their produce to market
with only one loading and unloading
from farm to market stand, which is
a great improvement on the many
handlings packages receive when ordi-
nary railway traffic is used. J. B.

PACKING FOR SHIPMENT.

Good packing when shipping cuttings
or you^g plants is as important as it is
in shijiping cut blooms, and great im-
jn'ovements have been made along that
line in recent years. Your cuttings may
be ever so good when you take them out
of the sand, but if you do not get them
to your customers in good condition, they
will prove no better in the end than
]>oorer cuttings that arrived in as good
condition as they started.

Years ago the common way of packing
rooted cuttings was to take np twenty-
H^e in one hand, holding them in a tight
bunch, and after wTapping a bunch ot
wet sphagnum around the roots, wrap
the whole in a piece of paper, the same
as you would a young plant, leaving the
top open but turning the bottom side
of the paper in after one roll of the
l>undle, finishing uj) with a couple of
wraps with cotton twine. Under this
mode of wrapping it was found that in
case a cutting had only a few roots, or
if they were rather fleshy and brittle,
often they wouiu be broken oft* and it
much sand clung to any of the cuttings
it would grind and cut any roots that
were young and tender.

A Better Method.

A much better method has taken the
place of this, which is as follows : Cut
your wrapping paper into sheets about
10x16 inches. Lay a thin layer of damp
sphagnum in the middle of this and
running from the end next to you halt
way across the sheet. Take the cuttings
one by one and lay them with the roots
on the sphagnum. It will take about
two layers to hold twenty-five cuttings.
Then roll into a bundle and when all
the cuttings have been turned in, fold
in the paper below the sphagnum and
••ontinue rolling until the end of the
sheet, tying the bundle to hold it to-
gether. Roll these bundles tolerably
tight, so that in handling the cuttings
can not move around and allow the saml
to grind up the roots.

Use substantial boxes to pack them in.
I^ine well with several thicknesses ol
newspaper, on all sides and top and
Itottom. Cover the bottom with a layer
of excelsior, then begin laying in thti
bundles. Begin at one end, laying the
root end against the end of the box
and press togetliei well, so that they

will be tight; lay the roots of the next
row on the tops of the first row ana
so on until you come to the end of the
box, where you will reverse the bundles
to better fill up the space. Put in an-
other good laj'er of excelsior and pro-
ceed as before, but begin at the other
end of the box, continuinjj thus until
your box is full. Press the whole down
tightly, fold over the paper linings and
nail on the lid.

Tight Packing Desirable.

When ready for the lid the box should
be so full that you will have to bear
down on it heavily in order to nail it
fast. Don't be afraid thai you will in-
jure the cuttings. The excelsior will
prevent that, but if they begatl moving
around there would be damage uone.
This tight packing is one of the secrets
of success in shipping and must be prac-
ticed as long as the employees of the ex-
press companies handle our boxes as
roughly as they do. You can mark
* ' this side up ' '" and ' ' handle with care ' '
all you want to, it does not stop them
from slamming your boxes around as
though they were handling baled hay.
if packed loosely it will take but few
tumbles to work the bunules loose ami
when moving around begins then trouble
begins. If several varieties are in the
box they will become mixed, besides the
damage done to the plants.

After nailing up the box, if the
weather is liable to be cold, cover again
with several thicknesses of newspaper
and finally with heavy wrapping paper.

Nail on the tag in the upper left
hand corner. With an oil crayon write
the address on the box in case the tag
should be mutilated before reaching its
destination. On the tag should ho
printed the necessary instructions in
regard to the contents being perishabk-
plants, etc., besides your name and ad-
dress. This will count heavily in case
of suit for damages, if that ever hv
comes necessary. /-

The best shipping tag we have ovpi-
run across is one that we copied from
the F. Dorner & Sons Co. and which
we are now using. Any express com-
pany that fails to deliver a 'package in
good condition witn that tag on it can
offer no excuse except negligence, jno
viding your packing was good.

Packing Young Plants.

When jiacking young plants from j)ots
the same rule should prevail. Wrap each

plant separately instead of wr»ipp>ug
fpur or five in each bundle. There will
be less breakage and you can pack them
better. If the distance is short no
sphagnum will be needed, but if they
travel a thousand miles or more, and
are likely to be packed up for four or
five days, then you had better put a little
damp sphagnum around the roots, but
be sure you keep it away from the foli-
age.

Line your boxes just the same as yon
do for cuttings and lay the plants in the
box the same with excelsior between, as
recommended before, only be sure yon
pack as solidly as possible. There should
be no chance for them to shove togethei-
endways in case the box is turned on end
and dropped, which is very apt to occur
if it is heavy. We have seei? boxes of
plants arrive in miserable condition, due
entirely to loose packing. Don't use too
large boxes in packing, even if the order
is large. Medium sized boxes stand ;i
much better chance of getting through
in good condition. Another thing which
will greatly aid in securing proper hand
ling is to put handles on the ends of tiie
boxes, especially if the boxes are good
sized. The expressmen can get hold of
the boxes better and, if the handles are
put on properly, the box can only bo
lifted and carried the proper way and
there will be no occasion for rolling or
dropping them, and besides, the handles
will not permit the box being stood on
end.

Another Good Plan.

Another way of packing young plants
is to set them upright in the bottom
of the box, and this is a very good way,
in many cases preferable to the other.
Line your box as before and, instead
of a layer of excelsior, cover the bot-
tom with a layer of damp sphagnum be-
fore setting in the plants; press the
plants together as tight as you can and
after about every fourth row nail in n
cleat to hold them firm. Fold the paper
over the top and instead of nailing on a
solid lid, nail on slats so the expressman
can see that the box is not packed solid.
Boxes pacKed this way should always
have handles on them. This method is
more practicable in mild weather than in
severely cold weather, as you can not
line except on the inside of the box.

When wrapping the plants, see that
none are wrapped with the soil in ..
dry condition. Keep in mind the time
they will be on the road and calculate
to have them reach their destination just
a little on the dry side. Excessive mois
ture is not good for them, either, while '
packed up tight, and if they can be in
just a normal condition there will be
less danger of damping, and they will
be in better shape to take hold when pot
ted up again. A. F. J. Bauk.

A WIETOR SEEDLING.

The establishment of Wietor Bros.,
Chicago, is noted as the place wher«
chrysanthemum cuttings and young
plants are produced in greater quantity
than elsewhere; as the place where
White Cloud carnation has held its own
in spite of the competition of the many
good whites of recent introduction; as
the place where a big business is trans-
acted with less apparent effort than in
many cases where only a little is accom-
plished. It is shortly to be known as
one of the places whence come novelties,
attention heretofore having been de-
voted entirely to growing primarily for
cut flowers and secondarily for young

Red Seedling Carnation No. 55, Raised by Wietor Bros., Chicago, and Staged at the Recent Club Show.

stock, varieties of other people 's intro-
duction. A number of new sorts in roses
are being tested in search of soinetliing
vi^orth while, but it is with the red car-
nation shown in the accompanying ilhus-
trations that the immediate future will
have to deal.

No. 55 is a bright shade of rod, a
lively, useful color. It originated in a
batch of seedlings three years ago and
was at once recognized as a promising
sort. Now there are about 2,000 plants
and it is better liked than ever. An-
other year's trial will be given it before
deciding ou its future, as it is proposed
to make no false start in a new field by
sending out a variety which will not
* ' trot. ' ' The flower is large, full,
fringed and abundantly produced, ac-
cording to tests to date. The growth is
quick and lic;ilthy, the stem strong and
wirv.

GROWING THE CARNATION.

[A |)!ipfr rciid I'V A. II. Socker licfmc tlif
Morris (oniitv (JniMicncis" and Florists' Society,
Madison. N. .!.. Marcii 14, 1!K)C.]

In reading this paper to you on a sub-
ject so universal to the trade as the
carnation. I feel some doubt as to the
result. Howc\er, if these few remarks
are found to be of service to even one
of you, my efforts shall have been suc-
cessful.

The carnation, as it is today, has
proved itself a public necessity and, as
such, should be handled and treated ac-
cordingly. That it has rapidly gained
in popularity and Ls the equal, or, shall
T say, the more successful rival of its
fair competitor, the rose, is due largely
to its keeping qualities, fragrance and
adaptability, for it is found first in the
expensive social function and foremost
in the workingman's home.

All honor is due to the noble army of
men who are giving of their time and
finances to hybridizing and producing
new varieties in an effort to keep the
carnation to the front; many times, no
doubt, their efforts are useless, but when
we see an array of the finest, such as is
before you tonight, we can feel sure that
progress is ever on the march, and that
success surely crowns honest effort and
rewards untiring zeal.

! The carnation, as I remember it ten
years ago to the present day production,

I lias made rapid strides and although Mr.
Ward may claim that it takes 1,000

j years for each added inch, the last one

1 seems to have appeared in considerably

I less time that that. What a contrast
we find between Portia and Robt. Craig
or Victory, Daybreak and Enchantress,

, Lizzie McGowan and Lady Bountiful or
(c^ueen! Yet even these old favorites are
not to be despised, for they had in them
the blood with which the hybridizers

j have been enabled to produce the pres-
ent-day wonders.

Grading Carnations.

In looking over an exhibition of new
j creations and noting the. differences of
the various kinds, I have often thought
that growers will one day be grading
the carnation as the rose into fancy,
first, standard and common classes. The
fancy class will embrace all those i)ro-
duetions known as novelties, among
which might be mentioned Aristocrat,
Helen Gould, Winsor, Robt. Craig, Alma
Ward and others we have with us of
even loss recent introduction. The first
class will include Enchantress, Ilarlowar-
den, Prosperity, Cardinal, etc. The
standard class will comprise the various
Ijawsons, Queen, Peru, Gov. Roosevelt,
Fair Maid, etc., while the common class
will take in what are left, and these are
grown more for profusion of bloom than
for stem and size, among which we
might include Glacier, Genevieve Lord,
Frances Joost and Floriana.

A stimulus might be given the grower
if he is able to produce good flowers
from varieties of one class equal to the
varieties of the next class, by having
the price paid for the flowers the same.

The cultivation of the various grades,
too, will need to be looked closely into,
and it requires the best use of all the
judgment and common sense the grower
may have.

In the fancy class we have a type of
flower which can be truly likened to the
race horse, and as surely as we strive
after a higher ideal and try to improve
on the existing improvements, so will the
treatment of same require to be given
accordingly; but as the majority of us,

dealing with the present-day varieties
and not with what are to follow, perhaps
a few remarks about those grown and
proven successful may not be amiss.

Easy to Select Popular Sorts.

It is easy to select those kinds which
meet with popular approval among the
growers, not because of their color or
fragrance, but because the grower is able
to adapt himself readily to the require-
ments of his stock. If this is not so,
how is it that one variety does so well
with one, and shows up so poorly with
another?

Is it climatic conditions or treatment,
that brings Cardinal to the fancy class
in Canada, while in our own neighbor-
hood it is almost useless? Yet 1 fail to
find one man who is complaining of En-
chantress or Lawson. The same can be
said of Prosperity in the first class, and,
although now beginning to age, I do not
doubt but what this variety can be
brought to pay for its keep. Having
had to do with a house of this kind the
present season, I must say that results
arc more than satisfactory and I be-
lieve that with early propagated cuttings
grown from then until benching in July
in pots, success may be had. I find, too,
that it is a little on the race horse type,
a trifle stubborn and needs the "jolly-
ing" which a little extra heat may give
it to bring it along.

This fact is very noticeable, especially
to one continually working among the
variety, and whenever the plants are
handicapped for want of heat, there we
find the less flowers. This defect can be
seen to perfection in the house just
mentioned, where one end is always 4
degrees colder than the other, besides
being subject to drafts, when going in
and out the house, which is apart from
the others, causing the plants to be back-
ward all winter. At the warmer end
there is no trouble producing fancy
flowers, long stems and clean foliage.

Enchantress and its sports, the va-
rious Lawsons, Roosevelt, Queen and
Harlowarden are all varieties which can
be depended upon to produce good mar-
ketable flowers, and if handled right,
can be brought to a successful paying
investment. I would advise the average

commercial grower not to go too heavily
into the newer varieties until by due
trial and observation he feels himself
capable of handling the same, as it is
best to try first and succeed afterwards.

^ Right Kind of SoiL

The question of soil is a serious on«
for the majority of growers, and very
often considertible outlay is necessary
for the procuring of the right kind.
What is the right kind? Each grower
eeems to have his own ideas about that.
One successful man, located near Buf-
falo, with an area of 20,000 square feet
of glass, has used the same soil continu-
ally for the p^st seven years, mixed,
of coutsfe, with manures and fertilizers.
If L could procure discarded rose soil,
thoroughly mix this up outside with lime
and bone meal or cow manure, propor-
tionately, I venture to say it would be
no bother to produce good flowers, pro-
viding good care and treatment were
given.

In the matter of planting the different
varieties in the benches, I have been
most successful using nine inches be-
tween the rows and seven inches in the
row. This applies, of course, to medium
sized plants and to those which grow
compactly; most of them can be made to
do so by the usual method of wire and
string support. One point I must bring
before you strongly is that in planting
these distances apart, careful watch will
have to be kept for red-spider. To the
beginner in carnation growing I would
advise planting a little further apart
each way.

•Care in Feeding.

During the growing season care should
be exercised in feeding, as some varieties
require considerably more than others
and if overdone it simply can't be un-
done. As to what is considered the best
way of feeding tl>e plants is a matter
of conjecture, but I would recommend
the frequent application of pure bone
meal, as it can be handled far more eas-
ily and is cleaner than manure. The
one great advantage I find this method
has over manurial waterings, is that
each plant gets its own share and can
absorb the nourishment at leisure, while
a heavy douche of manure water given
once a week, besides occasional clear
waterings between times, has a tend-
ency to keep a good many plants too
wet. I have yet to find the greenhouse
so situated that all the plants are ready
for water at the same time; consequent-
ly, if you are soaking the plants that
are wet with your weekly feed, the re-
sult is soon apparent, as the benches will
'be empty. I would not in any way de-
spise top dressing of cow manure or
other manure and consider it of a de-
cided advantage in giving a change of
diet, but as soon as the manure goes on
the bench your troubles begin, with
weeds, mites, sour soil, worms and, inci-
dentally, I might say stem-roi.

The past season has been a very poor
one in regard to propagation, owing no
doubt to the long spells of cloudy
feather making the growth soft; but
not all the blame can be laid to that
alone, as, in a matter of so much im-
portance, the question of experienced
help arises, and this part of the work
should be undertaken by an efficient
man.

Should G>ach Green Help.

During the past few years it has been
my misfortune to have to deal with
green help and while I have learned

something, the knowledge has been de-
rived after losses which could have been
avoided. "When the operation of trim-
ming the cuttings commences, take the
time to give careful, instructions to the
uninitiated; yes and to some of the so-
called "experienced," not to destroy the
outer skin or bark at the base of the
slip, thus exposing to the water and air
the soft pith which has no power to
withstand the elements; consequently
after four or five days these cuttings
will have rotted. In putting in the sand,
too, the same care should be given to
see that each cutting rests firmly on the
sand. This fact is the reason why so
many cuttings look dry at the top, yet,
when pulled out, the part in the sand is
all right. How is that? you ask. The
reason is that when inserting them in
the sand, the cut was so deep that many
short cuttinges did not reach the bot-
tom and when watered in, were hanging,
held up by the sand which closed the
cut. Now, unless these two, the bottom
of the cutting and the sand, come di-
rectly in contact with each other, the
capillary action does not commence its
work, and as the action which is all on
the side of the cutting is not a magnet
to draw the moisture up, the result is
apparent in a dry cutting.

The Split Girnation.

The Split carnation is a topic to which
one might perhaps be able to devote an
entire paper, so that here I might say
that the two great causes, in my mind,
are the sudden changes in tempera-
ture and the lack of sunshine. The
first can be avoided by constant atten-
tion to the ventilators and boilers, so
that in the cold, bright days of midwin-
ter when the fires are low, care should
be taken to have the pipes hot enough
to let the temperature drop easily as
the sun departs. The latter cause can
be helped somewhat by giving all the
air possible consistent with common
sense, so that the plants may become
strong. Also, in the selection of stock
for propagating, select only the strong-
est and best cuttings, as this trouble
of splitting is, I believe, hereditary and,
while some varieties will split however
good you treat them, we can keep down
the percentage if we handle them cor-
rectly.

The every-day varieties I find do best
in a night temperature of 54 degrees
and in the day 68 degrees to 70 degrees
when the sun shines. On cloudy days air
is given when the thermometer reaches
60 degrees, accordingly as the weather
is boisterous or calm.

Gitting and Packing.

The cutting and packing of carnations
for the market is work that should be
done by experienced help, as upon this
depends the success of your enterprise.
Try and arrange to have all flowers, if
possible, in water at least twelve hours
before shipping, and keep them in a
cool place. Now that the warm days are
approaching, our flowers will be im a
more salable condition and last longer
when the customer purchases them if we
can find it convenient to cut them the
first thing every morning, after they
have recuperated over night.

We all know that stock shipped in is
not handled with the best of care by ex-
press agents, so exercise judgment in
packing the same firmly in strong, clean
boxes, so that when jolted backwards
and forwards, the necks of the flowers
will not be broken. This will save you

lots of unnecessary worrying and argu-
ing with your agent, and will enable him
to secure better prices. In time your
reputation will become established as a
first-class grower and, by attending to
even the smallest detail, sooner or later
success will be yours.

HOUSE OF FINE LAWSON.

. Anyone who has an idea that the Law-
son carnation is running out should take
the trouble to inspect the house of that
\*briety at the establishment of W. S.
Cfarland, at Des Plained, 111. The ac-
companying illustration does the subject
little justice, beyond showing the height
of the growth, with some indication of
the sea of buds which greets the eye
of the visitor. The house is 27x250, and
since the middle of February has been
yielding a cut of 1,000 blooms a day.
Stems are of excellent length, flowers
large, and there has been a surprisingly
small percentage of splits, not over fifty
a day. The plants are in the very best
of condition and promise to continue
large returns to the end of the season.

VEGETABLE PLANTS.

Tlie exact time for sowing seed for the
raising of plants for subsequent planting
outdoors must be regulated to a certain
extent by the locality in which the grow-
er is placed, or by the time at which
the plants can be safely planted outdoors
without danger of injury by frost in said
locality. Though the time does not vary
to such great extent, nevertheless a week
or two makes a good deal of difference
in the growth of plants and that week
or two must be allowed for.

The first essential is to have the seed
planted in time to have the plants large
enough and strong enough by planting
time. But the time must be so regu-
lated that the plants will be in the best

possible condition when the time for
planting arrives. If sown too soon the
plants either become overgrown to such
an extent that they receive a severe check
in being transferred to the open ground,
or they become so hampered in tight
quarters that they become hard and
stunted and take so long to make a start
after planting that much valuable time
is lost in place of time being gained by
making an early start.

The idea should be to regulate the
sowing so as to have the plants just
large enough but at the same time have
them in a healthy, free-growing state.

We have often seen such subjects as
egg plants and peppers sown the first
week in April beat plants from seed
sown the beginning of Marcii. As these
are rather tender subjects, they cannot,
as a general rule, be trusted outdoors
much before the end of May, so by
sowing at the end of Marcn it gives two
months from sowing to planting out.
This allows nice time to get the plants
in the best possible order, if proper care
is given and the proper facilities are
available.

Cabbage and cauliflower plants cau
be grown large enough in seven weeks
from time of sowing but to give time
for proper hardening oflf eight weeks had
better be allowed. These being hardier,
may safely be planted from two to three
weeks earlier than egg plants or peppers.

Lettuce plants in nice order for plant-
ing can be grovra in six weeks from time
of sowing and may, as a rule, be set
out about the same time as cabbage.

The time of setting out is apt to vary
somewhat on the warmth of the season,
but seldom enough to affect the condi-
tion 01 the plants. The proper harden-
ing off of all vegetable plants previous
to setting out should always be carefully
attended to as it insures against check
and enables the plants to better with-
stand the variations of temperature
which are liable to occur.

PIPING FOR FOUR HOUSES.

I am building four 50-foot houses ;
two houses ten feet Avide, four feet to
eaves, seven feet to ridge; one house
fourteen feet wide, four feet to eaves,
eight feet to ridge; one house sixteen
feet wide, four feet to eaves, nine and
one-half feet to ridge, with two feet
glass on east side, for carnations. The
houses run north and south, with boiler
shed and workroom on north ends of
houses. The houses have glass in south
ends from gutters and eaves up; the
outside walls are double-boarded with
paper between. Each house will be sep-
arated from the others by one thickness
of siding. I want to know how many
runs of 114 -inch pipe are needed for
each house, also how large the pipe un-
der the ridge ought to be and what
horse-power steam boiler I need to
maintain 55 degrees to 60 degrees at
zero outside. H. T.

Each of your small houses 10x50 feet
can be piped with a l^o-inch flow under
ridge and six 1 14 -inch returns on side
wall or under benches.

The 14-foot liouse should have a 2'-
inch flow or riser under lidge and eight
11/4-inch returns, while the 16-foot house
should have a 2-inch flow and nine 1V4-
inch returns. The combined require-
ment of the four houses is less than
1,000 square feet of radiation. A boiler
with 130 square feet of lieatiug sur-
face should be ample to provide steam
for these houses. This would be equiva-
lent to about twfhe liorsc-powcr.

MORE RADIATION NEEDED.

I have a greenhouse 20x50 feet, side
walls four feet, sasbbars twelve feet,
which I am going to extend fifty feet
this season. I have a hot-water system
at present and heat my dwelling with
the same riser that heats the green-
house. My piping arrangements are as
follows: A 3-inch riser six feet liigh
to ell, then six feet to branch for dwell-
ing, continuing with 2V.-inch pipe into
greenhouse, where it branches into two
2-ineh pipes to right and left tiiat feed
a coil of three lJ{>-inch flows arranged
above three IV^-inch returns on gutter
posts. The system has worked with jier-
fcft satisfaction during the past season.

When I extend the house fifty feet
farther, making a house 100 feet long,
will this arrangement of pipes give the
same satisfaction as before? Would it
be more satisfactory if I should run
two 2-inch flows along each purlin to
feed four ll^-inch returns on side walls,
or would one 2i^-inch flow lie better
than two 2-incli flows? Will the 3-
inch riser mentioned be large enough to
furnish l)etween 600 square feet and
700 square feet of radiation?

In my dwelling 1 heat one room 12x
27x9 feet, separated by a screen parti-
tion into two rooms, with 99 s(|iiaro
feet of radiation. The room faces
north, is exposed on three si.ifs, has
four common size and two large size
windows and one outside door. We are
much exposed to northwest winds. Dur-
ing the past winter I found we had not
enough radiation. How much r;uliation
will I need to keep the dwelling at 70

degrees Avhile the greenliouse stays at
40 ilcgrcf'S to 50 degrees during 35 de-
grees Ik'Iow zero weather, both dwelling
and jirecnhouse being heated by the
saiii(> boiler? During the past severe
weatlier; both dwelling and greenhouse
kept :it the same temperature, 45 de-
grees. .Would you advise using a sep-
arate iLser for the dwelling, or change
the ]tresent 3-inch riser to a 3 '4-inch or
4-in(h riser? W. K.

Jf you add fifty feet to the length of
your present greenhouse, making it 100
feet long, it should be provided with
about 740 square feet of radiation with
water at 180 degrees to maintain the
temperature you desire. This can be
provided by extending each of the 2-
inch branches of the riser to the distant
€nd of the house and there dividing to
return by six l^/^-inch returns on each
side. Tliis Avill give two 2-inch risers
the leiigth of the house and twelve l^/j-
inch returns, which will give the piping
desired. In the dwelling the space
heated is about 2,900 cubic feet, which
makes your present radiation about one
to thirty. It should, in my judgment,
be about one to twenty. If you add a
50-foot radiator, this will give the addi-
tional radiation necessary to heat the
room. L. C. C.

SHOULD HAVE LARGER BOILER.

I am building a house 27x100 feet
for carnations, seven feet two inches and
six feet to eaves and fourteen feet to
ridge. I will use two 2V4-inch flow-
pipes and ten 2-inch returns, placed
three each under north and south bench
and two under each of the two center
benches. Do you consider that plan
sufficient to maintain a temperature of
52 degrees, zero weather outside? My
boiler is a horizontal tubular, firebox in
one enrl, eight horse-power. Do you
think it large enough to heat above
bouse? A. K. W.

I do not think you have sufficient
radiation in the house to maintain a
suitable temperature for carnations.
The house "should iiave about 1,000
square feet of radiation to maintain 60
degrees during severe weather; yon liave
proviiled aViout 750 square feet, which
leaves about 250 square feet to lie sup-
plied. You can undoubtedly keep frost
out in severe weather, but I believe it
would be safer and better to add four
more 2-inc}i returns, one under each
bench. Such an arrangement Avould add
24S square feet, and would make the
radiation about normal. The boiler in
question, if eight horse-power, is not
large enough for the house piped as
above suggested. A fifteen horse-power
boiler is about right. L. C. C.

PERFECT HEATING SYSTEM.

Since the publication of that little
piece about my system of heating,
February 22, I have received communica-
tions from so many that I again appeal
to you as a means of communication,
hoping that I will not burden you.

My houses are small compared with
some estalilishnients. The tank and the
pipes flowing to and from the tank
should correspond in capacity or size to
the dimensions given in that issue. Have
the tank as near over boiler as possible,
with the bottom of tank ten feet above
the floor of tlie greenhouse; then con-
nect -^-inch pi])e to return, just before
it turns down to boiler. I^t this run
to top of tank, then run ^A-inch pipe

from bottom of boiler to bottom of
tank, with check valve near boiler to
keep water from backing up when steam
is higher than weight of water in the
pipe. The bottom of the boiler should
be three or four feet lower than the
floor of the greenhouse. This will give
three or four pounds of steam pressure
and let the condensed steam return at
the same time. If the pressure runs
higher than four pounds the water will
just stay up in the tank till the pressure
slackens, then it will come to boiler.
This is a very simple arrangement and
easy to handle and no danger attached
to it if you keep your boiler to the high
gage with water. J. W. Perry.

COLEUS THYRSOIDEUS.

When grown under the best conditions,
tills comparatively new plant forms one
of our most distinct and beautiful win-
ter-flowering subjects. Blue flowers are
extremely rare, compared with those of
some other colors, and consequently this
adds nuich to their value. Coleus
thyrsoideus I have seen grown under
many conditions, and in some cases one
would hardly believe it to be the same
])lant, so varied has been the coloring
of the flowers. At its best, the color is
a beautiful blue, but treated under ad-
verse conditions the plants present a
poor, weedy appearance, and the flowers
are strikingly poor.

lake other coleuses, this is one of the
easiest plants possible to cultivate, as it
strikes roots most readily, and grows
rampantly. A few notes concerning its
treatment may, says the Gardeners '
Magazine, be of some service to any
who have been unsuccessful with it.
Though it is easily raised from seed, by
far the most satisfactory way is to in-
sert cuttings singly in small pots in
sandy compost during April and May,
or even later, and place in the forcing-
house. Immediately these are rooted,
arrange them on a shelf near the glass
in an intermediate house. Pinch out
the growing points and pot as required,
and during the summer and early au-
tumn the plants should be treated as
greenhouse rather than stove subjects,
giving them all the light and air pos-
sible, as the riper the wood becomes, and
tlie more sturdy the growth, the more
beautiful and intense will be the color-
ing of the flowers.

As winter approaches remove the
plants to an intermediate house, a tem-
perature of about 55 degrees suiting
them admirably. At that season the
plants should be liberally fed with liquid
manure. Excellent plants for table
decoration may be grown in 5-inch and
6-inch pots by inserting good strong
points singly in 3-inch pots early in Au-
gust, potting them when ready, and
growing them in an intermediate house
on shelves.

KOKOMaS KAISERINS.

W. W. Coles, of Kokomo, is famous
for his Kaiserins. For many years he
lias been growing blooms of this rose
which have been the envy of all who
liave seen them. One of the most un-
usual features is the fact that he has
l)een cutting from the same plants
grown under glass for thirteen years.
Only once in this long period have the
plants been replanted. This was last
autumn, and Mr. Coles says it was dur-
ing his absence in Europe, or he might
have let well enough alone awhile longer.
The result is tliat the blooms now being
cut are about tlie finest in the whole life
of the plants. They have taken a fresh
liold and are producing splendid flowers
on stems three and four feet long. The
prospect for a summer crop is some-
thing to give any grower joy.

Mr. Coles has bought the material for
an extension of one house and for one
new structure. The extension will be
23x80 and will be devoted to carnations.
The new house will be 30x300 and will

NUMBER OF BLOOMS PER PLANT.

IIow many flowers per plant ought
each of the following roses to bear dur-
ing a season when grown as they should
be and given first-class cultivation :
American Beauty, Bride, Maid, Killar-
ney and Eichmond?

Although seasons vary, what ought
each of the above varieties clear over all
expenses per square foot of bench? Also
what ought novelties in carnations and
standard varieties clear per square foot
of bench? I desire only some general
idea about the flowers mentioned, as-
suming that they are grown by expe-
rienced men who can put out first qualitv
cut flowers. E. S. B. "

Roses which are planted early, having
a longer growing season in which to
form a plant before the harvest begins,
by reason of their greater strength,
more extended root area and greater
number of flower-bearing eyes, under the
.same treatment, will produce a much
Ijetter average, especially of firsts,
than those where planting has been de-
ferred till late in the season.

If planted late in May or early in

The Weekly Romts' Review*

1209

June the average cut of all grades
should be in the vicinity of twenty-five
for Brides and Maids, Beauties twelve,
Richmond fifteen to eighteen, Killarnej
twenty; those to be on their own roots.
"With expert care, good seasons and
everything favorable, the average can
be considerably raised.

What amount of money each of tlie
varieties should produce over tlie ex-
penses of growing and marketing is
largely a matter of locality, as coal,
water and labor are so variable in dif-
ferent sections of the country. Novel-
ties in carnations have to be experi-
mented with to find out their value,
because a novelty whicli has done well
with the raiser and disseminator may
prove an utter failure in another local-
ity, even in the hands of an expert.
Standard varieties, such as I^iwson and
Enchantress, should produce from twen-
ty to thirty of tlie former and from
eighteen to twenty-five of the latter to
be a good paying crop, Ribes.

KILLARNEY A GOOD ROSE.

Is the Kiilarney rose inclined to shed
the older leaves in winter and have a
marked apj)earance? is it more subjei-t
to mildew than Brides or Maids? B.

This rose, so far as it has couie under
my observation unci from my experience
with it, seems to have a good constitu-
tion and shows very little of a tendency
to drop its leaves, even during tlie dark-
est spell of weather. Neither do the
leaves show a susceptibility to sj>ot or
trouble of any kind and it is. if any-
thing, less subject to mildcAv than either
Brides or Maids. Kibes.

DOROTHY PERKINS ROSE.

The following recently appeared in
the Journal des Koses, published at
Paris, France:

"We published in the Journal des
Roses of September. 19()l!, a detailed
article about Rose l^orothy Perkins at
the time of its origination and introduc-
tion by the American horticulturists.
Jackson & Perkins. In referring again
to this variety of Rosa Wichuraiana
(which was obtained by hybridizing with
pollen from the rose Mine. (Jabriel
Luizet) it is simply to inform our read-
ers of the popularity which this new rose
enjoys in England, as well as fiermany,
where it is now in fully as great demand
as the Crimson Rambler.

"it is a sort that is unique in its class
and one that French rose growers will
do well to propagate in large (piantities
as well as to grow in all the show gar-
dens. This rose is of very vigorous
climbing habit and of extraordinary
floriferonsness. It flowers only once
during the season, it is true, but the
period of blooming is quite late and is
often prolonged until September, a time
when the majority of climbing roses
have ceased to flower.

"The inflorescence of Dorothy Per-
kins rose, wliicli sometimes completely
covers the linsli, is ])ro(luce<l in |)anicles
of little flowers, Ixiriie in clusters of fif-
teen to twenty-five, according to the
strength of the branches on which they
are developed.

"It is also a very hardy variety, as
we have determined by using it very
satisfactorily to cover some stone walls
along the track of the Aljiine Railway
at altitudes varying from ],lI(M) to 1,500
meters above sea level, and wliere this
rose has withstood perfectly the rigors
of the past winter."

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

In trimming galax wreaths nuich of
the character of the piece depends upon
the color selection. For the darker
flowers, sucli as red roses, violets, Amer-
ican Beauties, crimson carnations and
white flowers, use the green galax.
i'pon the bronze put Perle roses, En-
chantress. Prosperity, Patten and other
light, intermediate tints of carnations;
Bridesmaid, (iolden (Jate, Chatenay, T,a
Detroit or Bride roses. In short, use
cream, yellow or soft pinks with the
bronze and white, red or purple with
the green.

With these fancy foliage wreaths a
spray or bunch of some kind or other is
the best finish. Let there always be a
third or half of the wreath upon which
no flower or ribbon is allowed to fall.
Make the wreath deep and wide, but see
that no leaves stand straight u{). Stem
in bunches of two to four, spread out
fan-shajied and of dift'erent length
stems. Satin ribbon is the best tie.
Add no other foliage except that which
belongs to the flowers used.

It is an excejttional trade nowadays
that <loes not call frequently for the
filling of ferneries. Mixed ferns with
asparagus from 2- or .3-incli ])ois seem
to be the favorites. The ptens \arieties
are especially good, wliile a small cocos
for the center is graceful. Now aiid
again fill the fernery with Selaginella
Kraussiana. The latter is not as last-
ing, but is very beautiful.

Silver, china or bark ferneries can be
used as centerpieces for stemmed ciit
flowers, one in pansies, dark purple with
the silver setting being quite attractive.
A round bark fernery is a fine setting
for orange nasturtiums; add very little
foliage except the nasturtium leaves.
Single violets alone, or with lilies of
the valley, is another good filling for a
bark fernerv. (lEKTitUDE Blah:.

A NOVEL ADVERTISEMENT.

On Fifth avenue. New York, a few
days ago, nearly every woman in an
open carriage, hansom or automobile.
Mas carrying a jonquil between the
pages of a folder that looked like a
menu card from some semi-public lunch-
eon. The farther uj) town one went the
more numerous the little spots of yellow
bloomed in the stream of conveyances.

At Forty-tliird street the reason for
th(> flowers was nuule clear. A florist
had a boy in livery posted on that cor-
ner wiiose l)usiness it was to present one
of the flowers and the advertising book-
let to every woman in an open vehicle.

PREPARATIONS FOR EASTER.

I A i)H|)or liy llnjid Sdirm-lcr. riiul licfore the
Itclroit I'liirlsts' tliil). Miiidi 21, IttOO.]

Though tai' fiom being myself a

gi'ower, 1 want to make a few remarks

that 1 hope will aid the grower in his

|ireparation for Easter. It is the man

who grows the stock who has to do the

I most j)lanning, and now is the time to

make notes to assist in the selection of
what to grow for 1907.

Ijilies should come in for the first con-
sideration, as this is the Easter plant
above all others. The number of Idooms
on a ))lant or its height have always
seemed to .lie to be merely a |)iece of
good or liad luck, so it is hardly worth
while to mention that ])lants two and
one-half feet to three feet liigli, with
from rt\'e to eight good lilooms in dill'er-
ent stages, sell best in this locality. It
is al.so well to iiave some jdanted into
three-fourths, or azalea, pots, say from
tiiree to five' plants in a pot. See that
they are well seasoned by keeping them
rather cool the last week. About twenty-
five |tei- cent of the lilies are s(dd on
Wediiesd.-iy before Easter, and as these
are for church use. the tall plants are
generally preferred.

Good Sellers.

Azaleas aic always good sellers; the
dwarf varieties, of which Firefly is prob-
ably the best, are also becoming very
popular.

In bulbous stock we have always
found a re.-nly sale for lavender, pink
and white iiyacinths; red are a fizzle.
In tulips Murillo is the best, with Tour-
iiesol a close second, followed by Ver-
milion Brilliant and Proserpine.

American Beauties in pots sold very
well last vear. as did Ranililers and
Ha by Ramblers.

Lilacs, hydrangeas, rhoilodendrons,
daisies, genista^, sjiiraeas, and a variety
of other stock always helps to put a
little spice lute tiie business, for al-
though nine out of every ti-ii people
want a lily, if you have no variety to
show them the lily won't sell, either.
I will add tiiat every pot should be
Avashed. aii.l such jilants as hyacinths,
lili<>s. etc.. jtroperly tie<l up before leav-
ing the greenhouse. The wholesale
grower who follow.s this rule will also
find a greater demand for his goods
than the other fellows.

Tn icgard to the liest metJiods to em-
|)loy in the forcing, or holding back of
stock, I mu'^t confess I cannot enlighten
you, as I am merely one of tiiose re-
taih'Ts with seemingly nothing else to
do but prejtare for the disposal of all
the money we make at Easter.

The Preparation.

Start riglit in by buying some nails
and biinlier: t^i if you have any tem-
pni-ary beii.|ie> III- ^helves to build, get
them finislii'd sn tliat (Ui Monday or
Tuesday Iietnie Kastei' prospective buy-
ers wiui "t h.-i\e to bring guides along to
assist in scaliiiy lumber jdles.

I'alms. lubbers, ferns and other plants
wiiicli do not meet with so much demand
at this time sliouhl lie set aside to give
as miicli room as possible to blooming
jilaiits.

While it would be foolish to have all,
or eVfMi half, of your E.'uster stock of
plants brought into the store or show
house the first part of Easter week, it
is a good plan to have a nice assortment

on hand early. If •we all ]ivr,d up to
this plan \vc would not be so rushed the
last days, as very often a customer sees
some article that strikes his fancy and,
though lit* was just looking around,
places an order at once.

As no doubt you will have some green
hands, mark the price on all plants and
baskets in plain figures; of course, it is
hardly necessary to mark lily plants.
Pay particular attention to your show
windows, changing the display several
times during the week.

In your spare moments, instead of sit-
ting around swapping stories, get a good
supply of paper boxes made up; also
look over your supply of paper, tags,
twine, etc.

Care is Essential.

Boxes containing violets or cut flowers
should be arranged with the same care
during the Easter rush as at other times.
The proper way is to urap each box to
prevent it becoming soiled in deliver-
ing, besides affording more protection
against frost.

One great item of extra expense on
special days is extra help, generally very
unsatisfactory help at that, but we must
have it; so you would better hustle
around now and, if possible, scare up
some people who helped you in former
years, not only because they will have
had some experience, but also because
you know just what part of the busi-
ness they are most suitable for. It is
good policy to hire extra help at so much
per hour. This will guard you against
a lot of kicking and grumbling when it
comes to paying off. Appoint someone
to keep tab of their time. In hiring ex-
tra help steer clear of friends or rela-
tives, as it is hard to get the work out
of them.

Just how large an advance order to
place for cut flowers you must know
yourselves from former years' experi-
ence, but place it early, f would advise
you not to lay in too many of those
green carnations. Don 't laugh !

UsiDg Old Baskets.

If you have any baskets lying around
from last year, clean them up and fill
with suitable plants; this is your one
chance to get rid of some old baskets.
Also see to» it that you have a nice as-
sortment of new baskets, besides a good
supply of plaited wax paper and ribbon.
Under no circum.stances will we bother
with crepe paper again ; it is unsatis-
factory both to yourself and your cus-
tomer, as the dampness soon spoils all
your trouble taken in trimming the pot.
The plaited paper is very quickly ad-
justed and not so easily affected by
water. Various colored mats also come
in very handy for trimming; by first
moistening them they will not break and
are much more easily manipulated.

As we are not all in a position where
we can afford automobiles for delivering,
make arrangements for extra wagons
early. See that all your horses are well
shod, as it may be slippery weather.

The Shipping Department.

It is absolutely necessary to give a
great deal of attention to your delivery
or shipping department, as many a good
customer has been lost through mis-
takes in delivering. In fact, here is
where really the whole trouble and worry
come in at Christmas or Easter. If a
card is lost, plants broken, a horse falls
down or a driver gets drunk, who gets
the blame? The shipping clerk, of

course. Leaving the shipping all in the
hands of one man who does nothing else
for three or four of the busiest days is
the only way to have it attended to satis-
factorily. This clerk should be some old
employe of yours who not only knows the
city from A to Z, but who knows how to
handle a lot of drivers and errand boys
and will give every detail his undivided
attention.

We generally manage to have good
use for five wagons and three or fotir
errand boys during the holidays, and act-
ing in the capacity of shipping clerk 1
have adopted the following system:

Arranging for Delivery.

Select some convenient place where all
sold articles are placed by the salesmen,
and from time to time arrange every
variety of plant by itself with the tag
in plain view. I have a cabinet made
of eight boxes, just large enough to hold
the order slips nicely; in appearance it
is similar to a spice cabinet, but instead
of being labeled "shoestrings,"
"nails," etc., it bears the following un-
interesting labels, "today," "car,"
"north," "east," "west," "north-
oast," "northwest" and "special."

Of all the orders to be delivered, say,
on Saturday, the .slips are put into the
today box by the different salesmen
as soon as an order is taken for that
day, cut flowers and funeral work slips
excepted; these are placed in charge of
someone appointed to fill these orders,
when the slips are checked off and placed
into the today box for delivery. Every
once in a while I take the slips out of
tlie today box and divide them into their
respective boxes, as for instance, 746
Cass avenue would go into the north
box, and an express order into the spe-
cial box.

The Trip.

• Now for a trip. Pick about twenty-
five or thirty slips out of, say, the east
box if you intend an east trip to go
next. Find the articles corresponding
with your order slips, see that every
plant is carefully tied up, card on it and
pot trimmed if order calls for it, put
all in one place near where you load.
As you find an article, check off the cor-
responding slip, then lay the slips in the
order to be delivered and write in route
book. In the book I use every other
page is tissue, using copying paper; the
iieavy sheet is torn out and given to the
driver. See that each and every article
is signed for by the receiver; this will
avoid a great deal of worry later on.

The best way is to keep your wagons
and boys always on the go, Don 't wait
for your orders to pile up. A trip of
twelve to fifteen stops is much more
sure to be delivered properly than one
with thirty or thirty-five. A driver
naturally gets careless at the end of a
long trip, especially in cold or stormy
weather.

Keep the different batches of slips
fastened together and marked with a
number corresponding with the route,
so that in case an article comes back
you can place your hand right on the
proper slip.

Protecting the Plants.

For furthering the safe delivery of
plants, particularly lilies, we have had
made a number of boxes of i/->-inch
boards, 15x15x6 inches inside measure-
ment, divided into four compartments;
these are kept in the wagon, and help to
keep plants from falling over, the plants
being placed in the compartments.

Go to your hatter and get a load of
paper hat boxes; place large trimmed-
up pots in them to protect the paper or
matting.

It is advisable to wrap a sheet of
some soft tissue around each plant to
keep it from getting broken, for of what
good is all your previous care and art in
decorating a plant if it gets spoiled in
delivering?

Thanking you for your kind attention,
I most sincerely hope that these few re-
marks will be of some benefit to you all.

GOLD FISH AND GAS.

I want to make inquiries about the
use of hydrocyanic acid gas. I have
two houses, one 12x85, the other 16x75.
The first is occupied by carnations and
geraniums. The other is devoted to
miscellaneous stock, gloxinias, begonias,
rubbers and almost everything that
grows. There is also a pond in this
house stocked with 100 gold fish. Will
it be safe to use hydrocyanic acid gas
in the latter house, and in what quanti-
ties? The houses are not very close.
I am troubled with the white fly and
greenfly. Tobacco does not seem to do
the work. J. F. S.

The gas will certainly kill your green-
fly and white fly if used according to the
formula so often printed in the Review.
One application may not suffice, as it
will not affect the eggs, which would
eventually hatch and quickly breed an-
other swarm of the fly. Whether the
gas would be injurious to the fish is
quite another question and would take a
natural scientist to knowingly discuss.
My own opinion is that it would do them
1*0 harm; the gas being so much lighter
than the water, it would not penetrate
or mix with the water.

This reminds me of the long ago,
'51 or '52 of last century. There was
built at my birthplace a house especially
constructed to grow the Victoria regia,
the mammoth water lily of the Amazon,
and it is worth mentioning that it was
in that very house that this giant of
aquatics was first successfully grown in
Great Britain. The house was thirty-
five feet in diameter and the water basin
thirty feet. A few gold fish were in-
troduced in the basin the first y^ar and
in four or five years they had so in-
creased and multiplied that there were
thousands of them, so many that one of
the trifling expenses of this beautiful
garden was ' ' bread for the gold fish. ' '

It was noticed that when visitors en-
tered the vestibule leading to the basin
the fish would come swimming up in
shoals of many thousands to the nearest
point to the sound, and this gave rise in
a small domestic circle to the question,
"Can fish hear?" I don't remember
whether the question was ever definitely
solved, but the frequent discussion of
the loaves and fishes will account for
the intimate scriptural knowledge in the
writer's possession. There was one fea-
ture absent, viz., the baskets of frag-
ments left; but as that is the miracle
part of it, we will cut it out of ours.
There was no fragment left. As the
fish were robust and healthy, the two or
three loaves were all devoured.

Fish have no external ears, but that is
no proof that they have not the sense of
hearing. John Westcott has told me he
never caught a fish by the ear, but he
did tell me that he caught by the tail at
Barnegat bay a flounder weighing
twenty-seven and one-half pounds. It is

just possible that a fish 's organ of hear-
ing is located in the tail

Now. in addition to a slam of the
<loor. we used to advance to tlie edge
of the lily basin and whistle, not any
particular tune, but .iust a plain, un-
cultivated whistle. Although one old
workman maintained that the fish came
from Iho farthest end of the pool faster
for "Pop Goes the Weasel" than they
<lid for "Annie Laurie," if you had
gone in there and declaimed ' ' Lochiel 's
Warning" or the "Declaration of Inde-
pendence," or whistled until yon Avere
blue in the face, it would h.ivo had no
•cflfect on the fish, but the sharp slam of
"the door caused a vibration of the Avater.
perhaps so slight that it was invisible
"to the eye, but sufficient to be percept-
ible to the fish. Fish possess a brain, if
not ears and lungs like the higher an-
imals, and when that particular vibra-
tion or sensation touched their heads or
sides or tails they knew it was lunch
time.

I have gone some ways around to ex-
plain this question, but hope you will
•find it as amusing as reading tlie bowl-
ing scores of people you never .saw.

Once again. I don 't believe the gas
■will have the least effect on the fish in
the water. W. S.

A NEW JERSEY VIEW.

The accompanying illustration shows
a view from the residence of C. Ledyard
Blair. Far Hills, N. J. The approach
was planned by Wadley & Smythe and
the execution of the plan necessitated the
transj)lanting of 642 American cedars of
an average height of thirty-four feet.
These trees were moved and established
with a loss of less than ten per cent.
The hedges and specimen bay trees are of
utmost value in the plan.

With the
Advertising Man

" 'Heaven first taught letters for some wretch's

aid.
Some banished lover, or some captive maM.*
But now we know they're hand.v for devising
Good, up-to-date, effective advertising."

GAVE HIMSELF AWAY.

Graeie — Oh, Mr. Nocoyne, how lovely
of you to bring me these beautiful flow-
•ers! How sweet they are. and how-
fresh! T do believe there is a little dew-
on them yet!

Nocoyne — W-well. yes, there is ; but
I'll pay it tomorrow-. — Chicago Tribune.

ViNCENNES, IND. — H. W. Ricman has
a field of eight acres of peonies, from
"which he will in a year or two be cut-
ting heavily for wholesale markets.

Dealers in almost every line of busi-
ness— shoes, coal, groceries, meats, etc.. i
are advertising— advertising persistent-
ly, but the retail florists seem to be do-
ing the Rip Van Winkle act — taking a
twenty-years' sleep.. While, of course,
there are a few exceptions, they are as
scarce as "hen's teeth." Some day we
hope it will be different.

Now. the purpose of this department
is to give an impetus to this most im-
portant and much neglected branch of
the retail florists' business.

This column is in charge of a compe-
tent advertising man who is also a prac-
tical florist — knows the business from
the ground up, and what's below the
ground as well.

Each week there will be a short talk
on retail florists' advertising, as well
as friendly criticisms on f * ads ' ' sub-
mitted.

If you retailers have any "ads" that
are not bringing as much business as
you think they should, or do not feel
that you have the "knack" of putting
what you wish to say in proper form,
we want you to feel free to consult the
writer of this column.

We will make suggestions that will
help to pull business, and will show you
how to handle your advertising to the
best advantage.

Where it is necessary to have special
typesetting done, cuts or illustrations
made, this will be charged at actual
cost, advising you beforehand, so that
you can see for yourself just where you
stand.

And the best thing about this service
is that the part that costs money — the
brain work — is performed Avithout cost
to yourself.

So send along your "ads," tell us
what you AAOuld like to do and lot's get
together, making the sprinsr of 1906 the
AerA- best season in the history of your
business. Rili.y Y.vk.

GOLD FISH AND GAS.

I want to make inf|niries about the
use of livilrocyanic acid gas. 1 have
two iionses, one iL'.xSia, the other 10x75.
'i'lie lirst hi occupied by ctirnations anil
ger.-iiiinms. The other is devoted to
miscellaneous stock, gloxinias, beg'oniay,
rubbers and alaiost rverything that
grows, Tiiere is also a pond in this
house slocked with |i»M Pdld lisli. Will
it. be .safe to use hydrocyanic arid gas
in the latter house, and in what ipiaiiti-
lies.' The houses .•ire not very riose.
1 am troubled with the white liv and

gleellllv. Tdbarrii ddi'S lliit Seem In do

the work. .1. I'. S.

The ga.s will rertainly kill vour gieeii-
l!y and white liv if used arcording to the
formiil.a so often [uiiited in the Rkvikw.
One a|i|dic;itioii iiitiy not sutlice, as it
will iiol atlect Ihe eggs, which woiiKl
eventually hatch .and iiuickly breed an-
other swarm ot the My. Whether the
gas would be injurious to the fish is
ipiile .anoiher (|uestidn and would ttike a
ii.atiiral scientist to knowingly discuss.
.My own opinion is that il would do them
no harm; the gas being so iiuich lighter
than the water, it would not jienetrate
or mix with tlu' water.

This reminds me of tiie long ago,
"■')] or '">!' of last reiitui'v. There was
built .'it my bii'th|d;ice a house, especially
constructed to grow the \'ictoria regia,
the m.'iiiimoth water lily of the .\iiia/oii,
and it is werth mentioning that it was
in tlitit vei'v house tlitit this giant of
ai|ualics w;is first successfully grown in
(!re;it P.ritain. The house vvas thirty-
live ftet ill di.'imeter .'iini the water basin
thirty feet. A few gi.ld fish were in-
troduced ill the basin the first year and
in fiuir or five years they had so iii-
ci'eased and niiiltiplied that there were
thousands (d" them, so many that one of
the trilling expenses of this betiutiful
garden w.'is ' ' brcid for the gold fish,''

It was noticed that when \ isitoi's eii-

leled the Vestibule le;idillg to the b.'isill

the tish would I'liiue swimming up in
-Imals of many thniisands to the nearest
point to tile sound, and this gave rise in
a siiiail ddinestir rinde to the i)iiestion.

NOTICE

Because of the new wage scale which
the Printers' Union has enforced upon
those employers not willing to suffer
interruption of their business, especially
because of that part of the scale which
makes overtime practically prohibitive,
it is of first importance that the Review .
obtain its advertising **copy earlier.

It is therefore earnestly requested
that all advertisers mail their "copy"
to reach us by Monday or Tuesday
morning, instead of Wednesday morn-
ing, as maiiyhave done in the past.

Contributors also please take heed.

YOU CAN HELP.

Every tlorist .should take enough in-
terest in * ' the square deal ' ' and in the
seed trade to be glad of the chance to
help along a long delayed reform. Right
now write a letter to your congressmen
at Washington. A few .words will do.
Tell him that you want him to support
the etfort to end the free seed distribu-
tion by the gover.iment. The matter
will be acted on in a very few days, so
write at once.

LEAVES TO A CUTTING.

Will you kindly give nie information
as to how to make geranium cuttings
frnm the top shoots of young plants?
I had an argument with a ])arty who
(daims that one leaf and heart are sutti-
cient to a i)lant, while I claim that at
least two leaves vith the heart are neces-
sarv. K. .1.

You are decidedly riglit ; one fully de-
veloped leaf and "one almost fully de-
veloped are nuudi better than (Mie leaf;
that is. the geranium cutting will root
more surely and quickly witii the two
leaves than witii only one, although
we will not say that we have not rooted
many thousands with only one leaf.
We remember once seeing a lot of cut-
tings of zonal geraniums that had been
entirely denuded of all leaves, although
they were strong cuttings. The ignor-
amus who ])erformed the operation lost
the entire lot. They turneil black, which
was the first stage of rotting.

I am aware that many gardeners will
say there is nothing gained by cutting

at a joint. With some plants it is not
necessary. Salvia or verbena or a tea
rose, and many others, will root readily
if cut an inch below a joint, but with
the succulent geranium it. is of conse-
quence. It is much safer and, as it
should take no longer to cut immediately
below a joint, why not do it?

The principle of this artificial method
of propagation, for by seed is the nat-
ural j)lan. is this, without any scientific
terms: The cutting without roots is sup-
ported by moisture, which it absorbs
from the medium into which it is in-
serted, the same as our cut flowers are
kept fresh and beautiful by the water
their stems absorb. But very few will
send out roots in water alone. Now, in
the case of the geranium, the leaves of
the cutting collect material from the at-
mosj)here and it descend.s through the
structure of the plant to the roots, in a
growing plant. It appears that at a
joint the descending material is arrested
and excites and forms what we technic-
ally call a callous and from this callous
springs the root, so without the leaves
gathering the essential elements no roots
will start.

Hy a wonderful provision of nature,
those plants that are very slow to root
fro;h a section of the growth will root
from a piece of root, as the bouvardia,
or a dormant eye of the stem, as the
dracaena. In these cases a different
process must go on from that in th©
leafy cutting of a geranium, if 1 say
any more I shall get out of my depth,
but E. J., you are right. Tiie only
object in pulling off any leaves is that
you can get more in a given space with-
out crowding. W. S.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

With a week of such unpleasant
weather as has prevailed in the past
seven clays it could not be otherwise
than that the market would be erratic.
We have had a week of continuous bliz-
zard and some of the coldest days of the
year. On March 19 more snow fell than
on any previous day this winter. There
has been no transient trade in the local
retail stores. An occasional decoration
or good funeral order made a spurt. As
the same weather conditions have pre-
vailed throughout the territory served
by this market, the same business con-
ditions have also been noted. There
has been an occasional run of heavy
shipping, but in general business has
been light.

With a week of practically no sun and
with snow falling most of the time one
would expect production to be curtailed,
but if such has been the result the
effect has been nullified by the decreased
demand. In fact, there appears to be
considerably more stock now in the mar-
ket than during any recent period.
Beauties are the possible exception.
There is no oversupply of tlio longer
grades. Short stock, say up to 12-inch
stems, is a glut on the market, but the
quality is generally very poor.

There is an abundance in the tea rose
department. Red is less plentiful than
any other color. Some very fine Brides
and Maids are seen, -also some grand
Richmond from ground canes. There
are some very fine Chatenay, but this
rose is not nearly so abundant as it was

in the autumn. Prices have weakened
all along the line.

The carnation market shows little
change from a week ago. There are
very large supplies. White has cleaned
out quickly, with Lawson always in
stock, possibly because the receipts of
it are so much larger than of any other
variety. At the end of last week there
was a huge accumulation, which was
closed out cheaply. Fortunately for the
market a few department store orders
from out of town relieved the pressure.
As stock is again accumulating, a repe-
tition of the process may be looked for
this week, with averages at the lowest
this season. Growers, however, have no
cause for complaint, as they have had
bettor returns than usual all winter.

If anyone has a kick coming it is the
violet grower. Not many really fine
violets are reaching this market and
those of other grades are exceedingly
difficult to sell. In Monday's storm an
offer of 20 cents per hundred would not
tempt a Greek to touch the New York
stock. Loc;il i-ctailers seem to prefer the
home-grown singles. Bulbous material
is not nearly so abundant as it has been,
'ihere are increasing supplies of callas
and large numbers of Easter lilies, but
many of them are short in stem and
])oor in flower. Some fine sweet peas
are seen and sell well.

The green goods market is slightly
more active, because of a few store
openings Avhich are calling for consid-
erable quantities of asparagus.

Various Notes.

The Wholesale Florists ' Association
held a meeting ^londay morning and

adopted by-laws. The following officois
were nominated: President, F. F. Ben-
they; vice-president, C. M. Dickinson;
for secretary, John P. Risch and John
P. Degnan; for treasurer, E. C. Amling
and Leonard Kill; for directors for
three years, C. M. Dickinson, E. E.
I'ieser and Leonard Kill; for two years,
N. J. Wietor, C, L. Washburn and John
Sinner; for one vear, Ij. H. Winterson^
John P. Risch and F. F. Benthey. An-
nual dues are $24.

E. 0. Amling is receiving some very
fine pink sweet peas..

Kennicott Bros. Co. is showing blooms
of a white sport of Chatenay which orig-
inated with George Hopp, of Grand
Rapids. They offer the stock of ]>hints
for sale and say they would as soon
pocket a commission for selling ]>lauts
as cut flowers.

Henry Rowe celebrated St. Patrick's
day by opening his new store at 42
Monroe street, in the Palmer House
block. It is decorated in green ami
white. In the midst of his moving he
was given orders for fourteen large
pieces for the Montgomery funeral,
which kept him at work all night. On
the evening of his opening day he had,
as usual, the decoration for the annual
banquet of the Irish Fellowship Club at
the Auditorium. Five hundred guests
were each given a shamrock.

Lubliner & Trinz have secured tlie
store at 145 Wabash to May 1. Tliey
opened a branch there on Saturday and
did a thriving business.

Mr. Reinberg because of his vote for
high license, but his re-election is cer-
tain if those who worked for high li-
cense are equally as active in defense of
the aldermen who carried out their
wishes.

The J. B. Deamud Co. has this month
added several shippers. One in partic-
ular has a crop of as fine roses as are
coming into this market. Alex. Newett,
of this firm, is ill with lumbago.

Bassett & Washburn have been trying
the new style of fumigating, with hydro-
cyanic acid gas. It has worked so well
that they are preparing to fumigate the
whole range of connected houses, a
ground area of 168x600. These being
high-gutter houses with no partition
walls, it is almost necessary to fumigate
them all at once. As something like 250
jars of the fumigant will be required,
it is a problem how to set them off prac-
tically simultaneously and get the men
out of the^ house before there is danger.

The Chicago Rose Co. has received a
big lot of caladium bulbs. They have
100,000 fancy ferns in the ice box which
are opening up in exceptionally good
quality.

G. E. Pieser, secretary of the Kenni-
cott Bros. Co., is on the sick list.

W. W. Randall, of the A. L. Randall
Co., is taking his turn at "West Baden
this week. His brother returned from
there a few days ago.

L. Baumann, the supply man, was at
his office Monday for the first time in
two months. He says he is lonesome
without his appendix, but feeling first-
rate after his experience in the hospital.

The landscape department of the
George Wittbold Co. is figuring on a
job which will necessitate the supplying
of 360 car-loads of black soil. There is
no order too large for the Wittbolds,
nor is there anything in a trade way
they are not prepared to tackle, from
supplying a boutonniere to converting a
desert into a garden.

Sam Pearce has seven houses of lilies
coming on for Easter. His plants are
about the tallest in the neighborhood,
but in common with many other local
growers his flowers are only fair.

E. H. Hunt's first Easter order was
booked March 19 and came from West
Virginia.

J. G. Crozier, of Cedar Rapids, la.,
whose recent injury under a railroad
train was chronicled, is in town after an
artificial foot.

E. H. Hitchcock, Glenwood, Mich., is
in town. He has a million ferns in stor-
age here and next year proposes to store
practically his entire crop here and es-
tablish a wholesale agency.

C. W. Ward passed through Friday
evening on his way home to Queens after
spending a fortnight in Arizona.

W. W. Coles, of Kokomo, blew in with
the blizzard on Monday.

TWIN QTIES.

The Market.

Trade tlie past week has been only fair,
and on account of the heavy cuts of
some of our larger growers, it has taxed
them to dispose of the stock. The first
part of the week, on account of the very
cold weather, business was not any too
good, but by Wednesday it changed and
most of the leading dealers did very
well the balance of the week. We have
an abundance of stock coming in daily
and most of it is very good. Roses have
been fine and we have some carnations
which would be hard to beat, especially
Enchantress. Growers who have not had
very good ones are now cutting some of
the largest yet seen in this locality. All
bulbous stock is plentiful and the pros-
pects are that we are all going to be
well supplied for the Easter trade. The
department stores are disposing of large
quantities, particularly on sale days.
The violets which our local growers have
been cutting are excellent and very few
have been shipped into this market this
season; a few of our growers have been
very successful in raising them; it seems
that they have been either very success-
ful or an absolute failure.

Minneapolis.

Friends of Ralph Latham are glad to
see him back at his post. He has been
in Indiana, taking the mud baths, which
seem to have done him considerable good.
He reports good business since his re-
turn.

The Rosary reports good business,
taking everything into consideration.

They have been carrying a complete
stock of all cut flowers, but claim it is
hard to get select roses.

Geo. S. Murtfeldt reports an increas-
ing demand and is satisfied with the out-
look. His store is indeed a very neat
one and well kept up.

St. Paul.

Vogt Bros, are moving into their new
location on Selby avenue, and will be
able to handle much more trade.

Aug. S. Swanson has been cutting
some of the flnest bulbous stock brought
into this market, particularly tulips.

L. L. May & Co. report trade very
good. On Monday ^ their record was
twenty-six large floral emblems, a large
portion of them being shipped to St.
Peter, Minn., to the funeral of the
mother of Governor Johnson, of Minne-
sota. Felix.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Despite the cold weather and Lent the
market keeps firm. The bulk of the
business in the retail stores is funeral
work, and of this there seems to be a
plenty in all parts of the city. There
is neither overstock nor scarcity in any
one line. The wholesalers, too, report a
goodly amount of shipping trade. The
growers' talk at present is about Eas-
ter, and they have great hopes for big
trade at this festival. The dark, cloudy
weather of late has kept the blooming
stock back. They say there will be plenty
of fine stock for the expected heavy de-
mand.

Friday and Saturday there was a de-
mand for white carnations and every-
body was busy with the green dyeing
process. These sold well. The big pa-
rade was postponed a week owing to the
bad condition of the streets from the re-
cent snow storm, so next Sunday green
carnations will again be seen in abund-
ance on the streets.

Prices remain about as the week pre-
vious, only that on Friday and Satur-
day white carnations went up to $5 per
hundred for fancy stock. Of Enchan-
tress, Lawson and other colors the best
sold at $3. Roses are more plentiful
I than they have been for some time, and

Current G>mment.

For several years we have remarked
that the season of Lent made little dif-
ference to our business, but this year
there has been a decided decrease. When
I^ent came in business dropped with the
proverbial dull thud, or an equally poetic
simile would be, like an oyster on the
sidewalk.

There are some branches of our busi-
ness on which Lent has no effect, but
merrymaking of all kinds is tabooed,
jiroving that our citizens are at least
observing the external features of piety
if not practicing the essence.

W. J. Palmer, at his upper, spacious
store, during the automobile show ex-
liibited a floral auto which attracted
much attention. It was some seven feet
long and four feet high and most faith-
fully worked out. The body was com-
I)osed of bronze galax and the running
gear and all outlines were worked out
with his Red Lawson carnation, and to
complete the outfit was the figure of a
beautiful girl of 160 pounds.

This week Anderson, in sympathy for
the dog show, put up an English setter

when occasion requires. To make this
picture complete I would suggest that
the dog should be standing on a field of
echoveria to represent a field of turnips
and nestling among the echeveria should

Mr. Fancourt has called lately in the
interest of S. S. Pennoek, also Mr.
Karines, of Dreer'.s, and Mr. Keller, of
Reed & Keller. Mr. K. is a very jolly
gentleman, who makes himself perfectly
at home and you soon think you must
have known him fourteen years instead
of fourteen minutes. Better to pass
through tlie world that way than have
a funereal look and manner.

Of more than ordinary pleasure was
a recent call from F. E. Quinlan, of
Syracuse. One of the real pleasures of
our life is the comparing notes with a
veteran florist. As is well known, Mr.
QuinlaTi is active in a very extensive
business involving large capital and of
much larger scope than floriculture. Yet
he admits his heart is still with the
flowers and he has no pleasure greater
than spending a few hours at his model
up-to-date new place covering 80,000
square feet. An item that may be of
interest was the statement of Mr. Q.
that Flamingo was a great success in
every way and he does not look for any
better scarlet carnation, to all of which
we say, * ' Amen ! ' '

A lawsuit of some interest to florists
has just been decided in our county
court. Mr. Jensen owns three green-
houses a few feet from the banks of a
creek which runs through the northern
section of the city. During the severe
winter of 1903-1904 there occurred a
thaw one Sunday in February. The ice
in the creek broke up and piled up
against the Hager street bridge, closing
the bridge. The ice jam caused an
overflow and floofled an extensive area,
including his houses. The commissioner
of streets was notified and they sent
men to dynamite tlie huge chunks of ice,
and the ice passed down the stream,
abating the flood, but in blasting the
ice lumps of ice were thrown fifty feet
in the air and a great number dropped
on the greenhouses of Mr. Jensen and
broke about 100 panes of glass. By 6
0 'clock it began to freeze and by the
next morning it was zero and notwith-

standing a dozen oil stoves in the houses
and all holes stopped with manila paper,
the temperature in the houses dropped to
L'8 degrees before morning and, of
course, much damage was done to the
plants. The damage done was not refuted,
but the judge nonsuited the plaintiff's
case, as he claimed the blasting was
done by what he called governmental
right and the plaintiff had no cause of
action. This seems hardly fair to him

The Market

Conditions remain much as a week
ago and for the season must generally
be considered satisfactory. There is no
great overplus of anything and prices
remain fairly firm, Roses, owing to the
ronov\e(.l wintry weather, are not coming
so plentifully as was expected and clear
out very well at last week's prices.

Carnations, while abundant, sell quite
well. Even whites cleared out finely the
past Aveek, being in big request for dye-
ing purposes for St. Patrick's day.
Prices vary from $1.50 to $3 per hun-
dred, fancies making $4.

Single violets are not so abundant and
some growers must soon throw out their
plants. Doubles make up for any de-
ficjency in singles. Sweet peas are plen-
tiful, but the best grades still make from
7;") cents to $1 per hundred. Callas and
Easter lilies are sufficient for require-
ments. Quite a few Lilium speciosum
rubrum are also seen at present.

Ranunculi, anemones, ixias and otlier
spring flowers are coming from a few
growers. Sprengeri, plumdsus and adi-
antuni are of good quality and un-
changed in price. The trade in pot
plants is increasing. There was a big
call for shamrocks on Saturday.

Walsh 's ramblers, of which he will bring

Qub Meeting.

The attendance on March 20 was
again very large, about 150 members be-
ing present to hear D. Lumsden's prac-
tical paper on "Bulbs and Plants Most
in Demand for the Easter Trade. ' ' A
good discussion followed the reading of
the paper and a rousing vote of thanks
was accorded the lecturer. President
Wheeler stated that a club banquet
would be held on April 26, to which
ladies are invited. There will be an ex-
cellent entertainment and dancing and
a rousing attendance is expected.

it was reported that the landscape
ganlening school will open in October.
Forty members signified their intention
of joining.

There was an animated discussion on

heating in which Iliffe, Montgomery,
Grey, Elliott and Mathews participated.
The Holly-Castle system of artificial
circulation was commended.

The Stearns Lumber Co. presented the
club with a handsome engraved gavel.

The membership was swelled by the
addition of several names. Exhibits
were very interesting, in spite of the
fact that the spring show was to come
only three days later. There were re-
freshments, as usual, and all present
voted the meeting a splendid one.

Various Notes.

CLEVELAND,

The Market.

Business has shown quite an improve-
ment the past week, and owing to the
cloudy weather and snow storms the cut
has been light, which has stiffened prices
and cleaned the stock up fairly well.
St. Patrick's day brought forth many
green carnations, roses and tulips, and
they all found ready sale at good prices,
white carnations being the scarcest
flower all week.

Various Notes.

Bate Bros, are cutting very fine, long
stem sweet peas and pansies, which find
a ready sale at the Cleveland Cut Flower
Co. 's store.

Fred L. Gunton, rose grower at the
C. B. Williams Co. 's place, will leave
April 1 to take charge of Mr. Oliver's
place in Bradford, Pa. Mr. Gunton has
been with Mr. "Williams over four years
and will leave many friends behind.

Mr. Fancourt, of Philadelphia, Pa.,
■was in town Saturday, calling on the
trade and booking good orders for Eas-

MADISON, N. J.

The meeting of the Morris County
Gardeners' and Florists' Society, March
14, was carnation night. We had a full
attendance, as well as many outsiders
with us in anticipation of a good show.
There was no disappointment, for a
finer lot of carnations was never staged
at one time anywhere. And the society
heartily thanks the various exhibitors
for their generous responses. Messrs.
Herrington, Duckham and Totty were
the judges.

F. R. Pierson Co., represented by Mr.
Boss, had four vases, one Winsor, and
one each of the three new Lawsons, all
in grand form. Winsor received a cer-
tificate of merit, and the Lawsons hon-
orable mention.

Cottage Gardens showed Alma Ward,
Elsa Struss and Eobt. Craig; all grand.
The first two got certificates of merit.
Craig had been certificated before, and
fully bore out its previous reputation. ■

F. Boulon 's Long Island Beauty, a
real beauty, was much admired and was
given favorable mention.

Patten & Co. 's Pink Patten and
Mikado, suffered in transit and could not
compete. The judges would like to see
them • again.

John E. Haines' namesake was there
in grand shape. It received a certificate
of merit on a previous occasion.

Guttman & Weber's Victory also had
been previously certificated; former
judgment fully upheld.

H. Weber & Sons sent Jessica, My
Maryland and Mabelle. The first two
had previous certification, which was
fully maintained now, and Mabelle re-
ceived honorable mention.

A. B. Davis' Eed Sport interested flo-
rists very much and received honorable
mention; it was in fine form.

E. Fischer had Abundance. Local
florists discussed its commercial merits,
all to its advantage. It was given a
vote of thanks. He also sent freesia
Purity, which was in grand shape, and
received a certificate of merit.

Our fellow member and essayist, A.
H. Seeker, staged Flamingo, Enchan-
tress, Harlowarden, Lawson and Pros-
perity. They were simply superb and
added much weight to his essay. A cer-

E. Vinee, of our society, showed

and a crimson seedling of much promise.
He received the congratulations of the

NEV YORK.

The Market.

The market last week was not even
convalescent nntil Saturday. Everybody
thought it was dead. Even the retail-
ers complained and when the retailer
and the undertaker imite in declaring
business bad you can imagine what the
Aviiolesaler thinks of it. It wouldn't do
to express it in the English language.
However, as usual, the end of the week
demonstrated business was ' ' not dead
but sleeping." There was a general re-
covery and in honor of St. Patrick prices
again rose to a resi)ectable level. The
sudden drop in Beauties to below 40
cents each for the best was unexpected.
The extreme top for violets was 40 cents
per hundred, and so on down the list,
carnations retrograding with the rest.
There was quite a boom in green stuflt'
Saturday. All the shamrocks and imi-
tations sold rapidly. (.Jreen carnauons
were everywhere, many of the 50,000
Irishmen in line at the parade being
decorated. Saltford had green lilies,
freesia and even violets jn addition to
carnations and yet following all this
spring coloring comes the biggest snow
storm and blizzard of the winter. The
lamb we were admiring turns out to have
been a sleeping lion. All this early
spring prophesying has had a shock. All
day Monday the snow fell and drifted.
Imagine the frost in the auction rooms
and the language of the suburbanite who
planted seed last Monday. Looks as if
the westerners who come to the rose
convention will go down on snow shoes
rather than by boat. We will have to
take back all we said about New York

being an ideal winter resort. But it's a
good place to spend the summer.

Varioua Notes.

The florists on Broadway and Fifth
avenue have some beautiful spring win-
dows. Forsythia, spiraea and blooming
azaleas are most abundant. Double flow-
ering plum is used with good effect.
Crimson Ramblers are many and as
handsome as ever. The greenhouses are
full of them. Hundreds of orders are
already booked. The plantsmen are busy
day and night with visitors. Many out
of town florists are here and have been.
Tidy came all the way from Toronto
and Ally Salter from Rochester. This
week will see them from every city
within 500 miles. This is the greatest
plant center in the world.

Lent is nearly over. Three weeks more
and then Easter. It seems only a little
while since the last one. Society is fly-
ing back from the land of palms and
pines. The weddings of April will be
innumerable. Some fifty of them are
already announced and the hearts of
the bon-ton retailers are glad. Many
of the announcements are from the
cream of the four hundred. Newport is
already assured of an unusually busy
season.

A good delegation from New York
leaves on Thursday evening for the rose
convention at Boston.

Schloss Bros, declare they couldn't do
any more business daily and nightly
than they are now accomplishing.
' * Fancy flower ribbons, ' ' they say, is
their Easter specialty. Joseph J. Schloss
is now making his spring tour of New
England.

Charles Millang says he will have

5,000 pots anil 40,000 cut lilies from John
Miesmann, of Elmhurst, for Easter, the
best he ever handled, also an abundance
of azaleas, genistas, acacias and daisies.

The boom in real estate is continuous
on Long Island. W. H. Siebrecht, of
Astoria, has just sold a piece of his
property bought a few years ago at more
than double its purchase price. At the
present outlook every florist within
twenty-five miles of Long Island City
will be a millionaire by 1910.

Arbutus is the latest harbinger of
spring. It is here this year earlier than
usual. The quality is not yet up to the
mark.

Ford Bros, handled some grand Beau-
ties last week, the best they nave ever
ofl'ered. The big ice box displays its
daily exhibit of fine carnations. Law-
sons especially being at their best, and
Enchantress unexcelled.

J. I. Raynor has a grand piant of
Croweanum on exhibition in his window.

Rose night at the New York Club
comes on April 9. Many novelties in
roses are expected, Kate Moulton and
Queen Beatrice among them. Secretary
Young will care for all exhibits and
they may be shipped in his care. Benja-
min Dorrance, of Dorranceton, Pa., will
be the essayist of the evening.

Lion & Co. report a big demand for
their specialty ribbon streamers with
woven inscriptions, "father," "motu-
er," etc. They have a special Colonial
brand of flowered ribbons, orchids, roses,
carnations, etc., for which there is a
large demand.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

The wintry weather has shortened the
supply of cut flowers to some extent.
The demand has improved, business at
the close of last week being exception-
ally active. It is difficult to say exact-
ly how the bulk of the flowers was used.
There were a number of good shipping
orders, some dinners, and other enter-
tainments of fair size in the city, and
quite a lot of transient business. Fu-
neral orders were sufficiently plentiful
to make white flowers more in demand
than colored on two or three days. Prices
are irregular at times, but everything
considered, values on really choice stock
of all kinds are well sustained. There
are no immediate prospects of an in-
crease of the supply until the beginning
of next month.

An Interesting Dispute.

Some years ago, the famous McKean
estate, at Fern Hill, Germantown, parted
with thirty broad acres to the Midvale
Steel Works. These acres have since
been covered with the factory building
used in the construction of armor plate,
rails, etc. During the last few years,
it has been noticed that many of the
trees on the old place have been dying.
Dr. Persifor Frazer, the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society 's chemist, was en-
gaged to discover the reason why. To
aid him came Prof. Benjamin, from
Cleveland, and another expert from
Washington, D. C. Geo. Wharton Pep-
per was engaged to care for the legal
side of the question. The result of their

J222

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Maiich 22, 1906.

joiqt labors is not yet ready for publica-
tion. Sufficient to say that 125 fine trees
have died since the steel works extension,
fifty-five of them during the past year.
The list comprises all the varieties of
maple, hemlock-spruce, and many other
common as well as a number of rare
trees. All of them were specimens of
beauty. Fern Hill has been ruined as a
country-seat. It is a question, however,
whether the Midvale Company can be
held legally responsible, as the ground
was sold to them with full knowledge of
the purpose for which it was intended.

Various Notes.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. state that they
have received and unpacked six hun-
dred cases of baskets for the Easter
business during the past few days. Many
of these have already been shipped to
their customers.

Oglesby B. Paul delivered an illus-
trated lecture on "Landscape Garden-
ing" before the Pennsylvania Horticul-
tural Society last Tuesday evening.

Alex. Young, for many years gardener
in charge of John Wanamaker's place at
Jenkintown, died March 14.

L. J. Eeuter is sending some excep-
tionally fine Chatenays to E. Bernheimer.

A. B. Cartledge, senior member of the
firm of Pennock Bros., believes that
there is a good opening in this market
for more choice flowering plants. Mr.
Cartledge states that while there is not
a large demand for this class of stock,
it is at times almost impossible to get
even a moderate supply.

Myers & Samtman commenced work on
their new range of glass March 1. It is
understood that this glass will be de-
voted to Beauties, with which this firm
has been wonderfully successful.

Samuel S. Pennock is one of the

The Market

You may talk about weather good,
bad, etc., but the weather we have been
having the past week is about the worst
ever. Eain, snow and sleet have been
mixed up in about equal proportions.
The temperature has been as low as 8
degrees above zero. In fact, this month
so far has been the worst of the year.
The growers report it to be very difficult
to keep up heat in the houses and coal
piles have been disappearing at a very
discouraging rate. These conditions are
stm with us, but it is to be hoped that
this week will see the last of them.

Notwithstanding the bad weather,
business has been very fair. There has
been a very good demand for all kinds
of stock and prices have ruled about as
high as at any time this season. Go(>d
white roses have been in especially good
demand. In carnations, the supply has
been very good. The demand was first
class, also, and they sold out in very
good shape. In some cases the price had
to be dropped to move them, but this
was dOe more to the quality of the
blooms than to any other reason. Sev-
eral growers' stock has been showing a
decided tendency to go to sleep very
quickly. As this always occurs with the
same growers' blooms, it is undoubtedly
due to methods of growing. It is with-
out a doubt a sad mistake to think that
carnations can be grown in a rose tem-
perature. They must be grown cool and
any wholesaler will tell you that the

stock of a grower who is known to hold
to the lower temperature will be sold
first every time. The blooms may not
be so large and the plants may not pro-
duce quite so heavily for the grower,
but they have that staying quality which
the retailer is looking for and he is not
long in finding out such a grower.

Bulbous stock continues to be in good
demand. Some fine tulips and Dutch
hyacinths are being received in this city
from the well known bulb forcers,
George & Allan. Their stock has never
been better than it is this year. They
are rapidly getting their forces into
shape for Easter and they promsie to
have a finer lot of all kinds of bulbous
stock for that time this year than ever
\wfoTC.

Some very good lilies, both calla and

Harrisii, are to be had and they sell
first-class. Outdoor daffodils are begin-
ning to arrive from the south. As yet
they do not take very well, but the
weather has been against them. A few
springlike days and they will sell fast.

The price of good ferns has advanced
to $2 per thousand. Other green goods
of all kinds are scarce.

Variotu Notes.

St. Patrick's day was a disappoint-
ment to many of the retailers owing to
the bad weather, but, nevertherless, those
who had stocked up on green dyed car-
nations reported that the demand for
them was first-class and that they sold
out clean at very good prices.

The various plants of the Murphys, lo-

history this year. They report being
very well satisfied with the condition
of the flower business in this city the
past year and they predict a glowing fu-

OBITUARY.

James Wolfe.

James Wolfe, of Waco, Tex., the pio-
neer florist of that section of Texas,
died at his home Monday morning,
March 5. He was 56 years old. The
widow, two sons and two daughters sur-
vive him. He was born in India, but
came from Birmingham, England, to
this country while a young man. He
was an Elk, a Knight of Pythias, an
Eagle and was also a prominent worker
in the Business Men's Club and the
Texas Floral Society. The business is
to be continued by the widow and sons.

James Clark.

James Clark, at one time employed at
the United States Botanic Gardens at
Washington, D. C, died at his home at
White Oak farm, near Burnt Mill, Md.,
last week. He was a native of Oban,
Scotland, but came to this country when
23 years old. He located at Baltimore,
where he married and resided until the
civil war, when he went to Washington,
D. C, and entered the employ of the
government at the Botanic Gardens, re-
maining for thirteen years.

J. N. Gildea.
James Newton Gildea passed away at
his home, 1721 Story street, Boone, la..

Saturday, March 10, at 10:45 p. m.,
after an illness of over two years. Dur-
ing this time he was an invalid, occa-
sionally going out for a ride and meet-
ing his friends. His death was due to
a complication of diseases.

Mr. Gildea was born in Bowling
Green, Ind., in 1845, and in 1851 he re-
moved to Iowa with his parents. In
1860 he entered the grocery business in
Boone, and continued it until 1890, when
he took up the florists' business, in
which he remained till his death.

He leaves a widow, two sons and one
daughter to mourn his loss. He was a
man of exemplary character, a Christian
gentleman by profession and by works,
and died breathing a prayer for the
members of his family and his friends.

The business will be continued by
Mrs. Gildea.

Letters to the press bureau of the
National Council of Horticulture indi-
cate that the experimental press service
being sent out by it is meeting with suc-
cess all over the country, as well as in
Chicago, where the Chicago Tribune and
the Chicago Daily News, the two leading
papers, are printing the articles.

The managing editor of the Grand
Rapids (Mich.) Herald writes: "The
horticultural matter you are sending out
iv very timely, and I think much interest
>»juld be taken in it. How long is the
service to last, and can we depend on
having it exclusively in this field?"

The managing editor of the St. Louis
Republic: "We shall use these con-
tributions in the Twice-a-Week edition
of the Republic, which has a large cir-
culation throughout the country."

The Spokesman-Review, of Spokane,
Wash.; "We gladly give space to the
articles on horticulture sent by your
press bureau and shall be pleased to re-
ceive the supplemental articles."

The Louisville Times: "The Times
will gladly publish the horticultural
articles you have just sent us. Thank-

ing you for your courtesy, and with best
wishes. ' '

Madison (Wis.) Democrat: "The
horticultural articles I shall gladly run,
both ' in my daily and readyprints. I
suggest you keep them short like the
ones in hand. These are excellent, both
for length and matter."

As stated in the Review last week, the
service has been sent, by James Burdett,
of Chicago, to more than a thousand
papers, by mailing direct or through
various press bureaus, all of which have
been glad tp handle the matter.

PROFITABLE TULIPS.

For some weeks we have had immense
quantities of tulips in Covent Garden
market, says the Horticultural Adver-
tiser, and with the excessive supplies the
prices have been considerably lower than
they were last season. Yet it is interest-
ing to note that special sorts have sold
well and maintained good prices. I find
it is the best doubles that make the
highest prices, and of these, Couronne
d'Or is a special favorite. The rich,
golden-yellow flowers resemble a Mare-
chal Niol rose, and when they are not
too far advanced when cut. they last a
long time in water. Couronne des Roses
is another favorite. Blanche Hative is a
fine white.

curred last Friday morning on the Den-
ver & Rio Grande Eailroad, in which
twenty people were killed, nearly all be-
ing burned beyond recognition after the
collision. A greater number of them
were Denver people, the funerals of
whom are being held today and Monday,
all calling for every flower possible on
account of it.

Various Notes.

E. E. Petersen has returned from a
three weeks' trip east, buying material
for the construction of his two new
greenhouses.

Recent visitors here were Frank Crump
and William H. Evans, of Colorado
Springs.

The recent cold snap somewhat short-
ened the cut of carnations, but N. A.
Benson seems to be cutting just as fine
Enchantress and Lady Bountiful as
ever. E. S. K.

DENVER.

The Market

The Lenten season has not yet caused
any abatement in the demand for flow-
ers, with the exception of a small por-
tion of the cut of Lawson carnations.
Stock of all kinds is well used up; even
bulbous flowers, usually a glut at this
time, are little in evidence after the de-
mands of the day are satisfied, while
white carnations and light pink varieties
are as scarce as at any time this season
and their prices are well maintained.
Roses are a little improved and the quan-
tity is increasing, but at no time has
the supply been more than the demand,
American Beauties in long stems being
very scarce. Violets were the only thing
that was there with the goods.

There has perhaps never been a time
in the history of Denver when the city
has mourned the death of so many
prominent men as since January 1 of
the present year. Cattlemen, lumber-
men, insurance men, judges and other
names might be ^dded to the list, all of
which demanded an extra amount of
flowers for funeral purposes; so much
so there was some tall hustling among
the florists to fill their orders.

Lilacs are commencing to come in, but
not in large quantities. St. Patrick's
day called for quite a little green goods,
but not many shamrocks were in evi-
dence; that is, the simon-pure article.

One of the worst railroad disasters oc-

pany has signed a lease with Mrs. Ann
M. Pulsifer for the use of the lower
store of the Pulsifer block at 144 Main
street. The business will be under the
management of Frank H. Mitchell, They
will do a wholesale and retail business.

WATERVILLE, ME.

Rev. H. R. Mitchell, of the firm of
H. R. Mitchell & Son Co., has disposed
of his interest in that concern to (ieorge
F. Terry. The company owns extensive
greenhouses at Highwood street and
Central avenue, and plans have been
made for the erection of large addi-
tional houses on the company 's property
in the upper section of the city, as well
as the opening of a new store on Main
street. For this latter purpose the com-

Streator, III. — William F. Timme,

Columbia, S. C. — Mrs. J. M. Eison
says, ' ' We are only small alongside
some of your readers, but we are get-
ting there. ' ' Business has been good
this winter; there has been hardly any
cold weather at all. It has been a hard
time to hold bulbs, and there never were
better prospects for Easter lilies.

St. Louis, Mich. — David Kleinhans,
of Cadillac, Mich., will soon build green-
houses on Saginaw street, three blocks
east of the postofiice, which will contain
at least 4,000 square feet of glass. Mr.
Kleinhans recently made a proposition to
the city authorities to the effect that he
would establish and maintain a green-
house for ten years provided he could
secure free water for that period. The
board of public works recommended that
the council enter into a contract with
Mr. Kleinhans to furnish him the neces-
sary water at a rate of $1 a year for
ten years. The contract has been signed
and the work of building will begin as
soon as possible.

S. D. Dysinger, manager of the seed
department of Sears, Koebuck & Co., is
reported to have been seriously ill dur-
ing the past two weeks and is not yet
well enough to be at his desk.

The onion market has failed to re-
cover from the drop it took several
weeks ago, and the seedsmen think it
will hurt the. sale of onion seed and
thereby shorten up the acreage of 1906.

The bean growers report that it is
up-hill work to get contracts for the
coming year placed with the farmers.
Several new candidates for trouble in
the growing line are helping to make
the hill steeper.

The Eeview prints a great many
' ' Help Wanted ' ' advertisements, some
of them otiering pretty fair jobs. One
in this issue calls for a seedsman capa-
ble of earning $3,000 to $5,000 a year
in the catalogue trade.

The Maryland tomato packers are
having difficulty in contracting the usual
acreage on the eastern shore, the farm-
ers declining the proffered rate of $9
a ton, demanding $12, prompted by the
high price in the open market last
season.

Knud Gundestrup, Jefferson Park,
Chicago, says, "Looking through our
order books for seeds for this season,
we find that the amount of orders is
nearly double last year's. Another fea-
ture is that the orders average much
larger than last year."

Reports from the mail order seed
houses are generally to the effect that
the week 's business has been lessened
considerably by the weatheY. These
temporary lulls, however, are always
welcome in that they give an oppor-
tunity to catch up and work no perma-
nent harm.

Many of the market gardeners who
had prepared for an early spring find
their hotbed plants much in advance of
the season, and it looks as though a
great many of them will have to get at
it to produce another crop of plants.
This will be a benefit to the seedsman,
as it means another order for "hotbed
stuff."

On page 1199 of this issue will be
found the full text of a bill recently
introduced in Congress for the purpose
of affording protection in the owner-
ship of horticultural novelties, together
with the report or the action of a nurs-
eryman's committee, the opinion of some

On March 13 the bulb-growing dis-
trict in the state of Washington was
visited by snow and the coldest weather
of the winter, 20 degrees above zero.
Hyacinths and narcissi were in almost

how much damage has been done. No

The extravagant and misleading
claims contained in some of the adver-
tising matter now appearing in regard
to inoculating material for legumes
make it necessary for the Secretary of
Agriculture again to call attention to
the limitations of the value of inocula-
tion. A recent examination of samples
of cultures for inoculating legumes ob-
tained through various seed firms
throughout the United States indicates
that there has been a slight improve-
ment in the general character of these
cultures.

EVERYBODY WORKS.

The seed trade is fully aroused in the
matter of the free seed distribution and
is giving a demonstration of what may
be accomplished by united action. Led
by W. Atlee Burpee, everybody is work-
ing, and the result is a demonstratioH
of public sentiment which Mill not faH
of effect upon congress. All the lead-
ing seed houses arc sending out printed
matter urging that letters be written to
congressmen, and many seedsmen are
giving up a large part of their time to
the cause. The trade has a whole lot
of influence wlien it once gets down t»
work; for instance, prompted by lead-
ing seedsmen, at least two of the largest
advertising agencies in the country, one
in New York, the other in Philadelphia,

cular letters urging editorial support for
the movement to cut off the appropria-
tion for free seeds. The big agencies
have a strong pull with the country pub-
lishers. One of the circulars tells the
publishers that "if the distribution were
stopped the seedsmen would spend at
least twice as much in advertising as
they do at present. ' '

Action on the agricultural appropria-
tion bill will be taken within a very few
days and promptness must be a char-
acteristic of whatever is done.

A LOCAL paper at Seattle, Wash., says
that "the Charles H. Lilly Co. has made
all its contracts for cabbage seed for
the year. The amount to be handled will
be about two carloads, or about forty
tons, and the LaConner flats will fur-
nish it all. The price at which the crop
will be wholesaled will be 50 to 60 cents
per pound, making the total value of
the crop from $40,000 to $48,000. The
crop is shipped all over the country.
For the first time the company is placing
contracts for its corn supply for seed
purposes in Washington. The company
handles on an average of $20,000 worth
of all varieties of seeds per month.
The seed-producing industry in the
northwest shows an appreciable increase
annually. ' '

NOTES FROM HOLLAND.

The second month of the year proved
no more winter-like than its predecessor,
and all bulb fields have had their win-
ter covering removed and thinned out in
a hurry to check a too rapid growth of
the foliage, which has been showing
above ground since the first of the
month. In many places these early
sprouts had already turned into a ten-
der yellow under the bleaching influence
of the heavy winter covering. Fortu-
nately for these, the usual cold snap by
the end of February did not make its
appearance and thus the destruction of
these tender leaves has been avoided. In

been removed entirely, is looking fine.
It is almost certain that the Easter
holidays will find us without the gay
fields in full bloom, which always at-
tract so many thousands of visitors from
all parts of the country. Seedsmen are
now at their busiest to fill the rush of
incoming orders, the early spring
weather making many minds forget that
the grounds are still in an unsuitable
temperature to justify early sowing. As
is usually the case in such seasons with-
out frost, the grounds have been water-

of sun to put them in the desirable con-

more especially of the vegetable and
farm seed departments, most wholesalers
report a genuine increase in business
done and on hand this season, and most
leading stocks will probably be cleaned
out by the finish of the season's trade,
which will be a welcome change, as of
late years it has been a frequent occur-
rence for considerable quantities to be
loft over.

It is reported from reliable sources
that better trade than for many years
is being done by the leading retail
houses in the better class and choicest
strains of flower seeds.

Some few days back there was held
at Northampton, England, a lecture on
sugar beet cultivation and methods of
successfully running a sugar beet fac-
tory. It is announced that a sugar beet
factory is to be started there.

The British Isles generally, and the
eastern counties in particular, are still
suffering from heavy rains, and some
portions of the Lincolnshire and Cam-
bridgeshire seed-growing districts are
under water and some few crops are
totally washed out in consequence. Re-
ports are to hand of continual failures
in many of the field crops, and the crop
of 1906 will probably be very close to
a record one for failures and small yield
generally. In the long run, however,
this state of things will do no harm,
but rather the reverse, having the effect
of stiffening prices and putting things
on a sounder basis than they have been
for some years past.

Among the roads which have or will run
these trains are the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy, lUihois Central, Chicago, Mil-
waukee & St. Paul, Kansas (llity South-
em, Union Pacific, Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and Canadian Pacific.
While the subject matter, of the lectures
varies on the different lines, there is a
common endeavor to increase the farm-
er's productivity. How and when to
select the most productive seed, rotation
of crops and care of the soil, are the
most important topics. In so;ue cases
where a wide region is giveu to one
product an effort is made to interest the
farmers in other plants in order to pre-
vent exhaustion of the soil and c-umplete
failure of the territory when climatic
conditions prove unfavorable to the one
crop. A rostrum and stereopticou sheet
or blackboard at one end transform a
coach into a lecture hall, and the lec-
turers are the instructors from the agri-
cultural college of the state. The ar-
rival of the train is advertised well in
advance so that the stop need be only
as long as the lecture requires. The
train is side-tracked wherever a --ufficient
audience may be expected and at inter-
mediate points some roads j»i<*k up the
farmers, carry them to the lecture and
then give them free transportation to
return home, a feature which .adiis great-
ly to the popularity of the umiertaking.
This good-will on the part of the Mxm-
ers is one of the ends sought. At first
they did not take kindly to the idea of
being taught how to farm and much lec-
turing was being done to empty seats,
but the idea has become imraenMely popu-
lar and frequently lectures b;ive to be
repeated several times at a stop to ac-
commodate all comers.

DAVENPORT, lA.

The Tri-City Florists' Association at
its regular meeting March 12 at Fejer-
vary park elected the following officers
for the coming year: President, John
Temple, Davenport; vice-president for
Davenport, Harry Bills; vice-president
for Rock Island, Henry Gaethje;
vice-president for Moline, William
Knees; secretary, H. G. Bryant, of Dav-
enport; financial secretary, Theo.
Ewoldt, of Davenport; trustees, Henry
Pauli, Ed Totter and Julius Staack.

Peter Becker, of Moline, was elected
to membership in the association. Dur-
ing the business session it was decided
to raise the yearly dues of the associa-
tion from $2 to $4.

The program consisted of an inter-
esting and instructive paper sent by
Louis Wittbold, of Chicago, on "Me-
chanical Watering for Greenhouses,"
and a general discussion of the subject
"Would the Parcels Post Benefit the
Small Dealer and In What Way?"

At the conclusion of the program re-
freshments were served.

TERRE HAUTE, IND.

A company has been incorporated
with $20,000 capital for the wholesale
growing of roses and carnations. Dr.
Edward Eeiss is president and general
manager; Judge C. M. Fortune, secre-
tary and treasurer. Henry Kranzke,
florist for the Sisters of Providence of
St. Mary's, will be grower. Three
greenhouses will be built in the vicinity
of Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street,
where ground has already been procured.

Mr. Kranzke has had thirty years' ex-
perience in growing roses and carna-
tions in this country and in Europe.
It is the intention to grow only roses
and carnations at first, but in a year or
so add the growing of violets and chrys-
anthemums for the wholesale trade only.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Snow every day from Sunday until
Saturday and the rhost disagreeable
weather we have experienced this winter
has not helped business any and, as a
result, stock of most kinds accumulated
with the wholesalers. This was es-
pecially true of violets, as it seems they
are the only flowers worn on the street
in this city, and when we have such
weather as the past week brought us the
violet feels it most.

Variotsi Notes.

Geo. L. Huscroft, lanascape garaener
for the Pan Handle Railroad between
Pittsburg and Columbus, went over the
road last week in a special train with a
number of the officials, getting a line
on the work at the various stations for
the coming spring. Most of their work
was done in a violent snow storm, but
arrangements had been made some time
before and they could not stop for the
snow. The Pan Handle is giving more
attention each year to beautifying the
stations, and Mr. Huscroft is the right
man in the right place.

Phil Langhans, secretary of the Pitts-
burg Cut Flower Co., recently visited
Jos. E. Bonsall, Salem, O., who is one
of the growers who supplies the Cut
Flower Co. with summer stock, lilies,
roses, etc. He was much pleased with
the appearance of his houses and the
stock in them, which is grown without
artificial heat. There is a range of con-
nected houses, about 45,000 square feet,
and the glass is a very heavy, 3-6-inch
ribbed glass which he had never seen
used before for greenhouse purposes.

John Wyland (Uncle John), of Alli-
son Park, is to add a range of new
houses the coming summer for carna-
tions. Uncle .John has been one of the
successful growers and, like all the
others, talks about getting out of the
business with one breath and lets a con-
tract for more houses with the next.

If Pittsburg keeps on building she
will soon be independent of outside
growers for her stock; so far this season
we have: South View Floral Co., range
of six houses for cut flowers; Pittsburg
Rose & Carnation Co., three or four
houses, 450 square feet, for cut flowers;
John L. Wyland, a block of houses for
cut flowers. No doubt there are, or will
be, others by the time spring comes.

I have heard repeatedly that the thing
we most need in this vicinity is a man
who will put up a block of houses within
easy reach of the city, to grow ferns,
palms and blooming plants for the holi-
days. Of course, we have men here who
do this now, but it is generally concede^
that this is the branch of the business
in which there is the best opening and,
as the demand is constantly growing,
there will be money for the man who
starts at once.

E. C. Ludwig, who some time ago
bought a property on East Diamond
street, and put it in shape for a store
and home, is now having trouble with
himself, as some real estate people want
his building and are willing to pay a
nice advance in price to get it, but
Ernest cannot make up his mind to part
with his home, even at a good profit.

HOO-HOO.

Lincoln, Nebr. — M. E. Wright has re-

PACIFIC COAST.

The California Rose Co., of Los An-
geles, Cal., has purchased growing
grounds at Pomona, thirty miles east of
Los Angeles, and is moving the entire
plant there. They state iiiai they have
the best soil and general conaitions there
to be found in southern «jalifornia.

Pasadena, Cal, — €has. Hess, head
gardener for the Raymond hotel, has re-
signed his position and will spend sev-
eral months at Searchlight and other
new raining camps in Nevada. He has
great hopes of making a good strike.
He has been there before and knows the
country fairly well. He intends to visit
his old home in the east before he re-
turns to the coast.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

The miserable, rainy weather we have
had for the past two weeks has had a
very depressing effect on business in the
florists' line. This, together with the
fact that we are now in the middle of
the Lenten season, has caused, a very
poor demand for stock of all kinds, with
the exception of white flowers for
funeral orders, for which there has been
the usual sale.

Carnations are becoming very plenti-
ful and the prices are gradually lower-
ing. Eoses hold their own, and from
appearances there will be no change in
the wholesalers' rates for several weeks.
Bulbous stock is well over, except some
late daffodils and freesias. Easter lilies
are in fair supply and demand and cost
the stores from $2 to $3 per dozen;
violets are about out of season, and a
few more days will make them very
scarce.

Fruit blossoms and wild flowers are
coming into town in large quantities and
are being much used in decorative work.
Valley is in large supply and in fair de-
mand. Quantities of wild ferns are
taking the place of tame maidenhair for
tlie present.

Various Notes.

Gustave Fleck, Oakland, died March
15, aged 62 years. He was an old resi-
dent and a native of Germany.

A. Mann, Jr., reports a heavy demand
for galax leaves, of which he has sold
several hundred thousand during the
past few weeks.

L. McLean, of San Mateo, is laying
out the extensive grounds of W. L.
Kauffman at that place.

Joseph Lewis, a pioneer nurseryman,
died at Hayward, Cal., and was buried
March 15. He was 60 years old.

C. A. Barrett, of Berkeley, has a splen-
did lot of Easter lilies in line for Easter
cutting. He will erect several large
houses for the coming season 's planting.

Thorsttfl & Co., of Fruitvale, are cut-
ting heavily of Enchantress and Lawson
at present. Their stock is in splendid
condition.

The continued rainy weather has in-
terfered greatly with the demand for
outside stock in the nurseries and it will
be too late for planting many kinds of
deciduous trees when the ground is dry
enough to work.

E. W. McLellan & Co., of Burlingame,
are handling considerable outside stock
for private planting in their neighbor-
hood. _

SOIL VARIATIONS.

The Gardeners* Problem.

The great variety of soils found on
this coast is often a puzzling feature to
the landscape gardener, and the propo-
sition of whether certain plants or trees
will thrive and flourish in some par-
ticular kind of soil many times becomes
quite a problem. I think it is safe to
say that our natural soil is made up
about evenly of patches of clay, sand,
adobe, both yellow and black, and de-
posits of black and yellow alluvial sedi-
ment. In a section where sand happens
to be the only soil to be had, and we
have miles of such territory in this
vicinity, there is always much difficulty
in getting a satisfactory growth of
heavy feeding plants or shrubs, and the
exacting public usually lays the inability
of the gardener to produce the impos
sible to his want of knowledge. "With
roses this is especially noticeable, and
the well-known fact that it is impos-
sible to grow them with any degree of
success in anything except heavy soil is
not taken into consideration. On the
other hand, considerable garden space
is devoted to carnations; where the
natural soil tends toward the black
adobe they are never a success and the
gardener is usually blamed in return.

Soil for Hardy Shrubs.

Hardy shrubbery of all kinds suc-
ceeds best in heavy soil, and it makes
little difference whether it is of the
black, yellow or red variety, so long as
the ground is kept worked on the surface
for the first season or two, or until the
plants get well established. As we have
little or no rain during our summer
months, it is necessary to cultivate such
soil several times as soon as possible
after winter rains have ceased ; after-
wards a good mulching of manure is of
benefit, but only as a covering, for all
our native soils of the adobe variety are
quite rich enough to sustain any gross
feeding, hardy stock, provided they are
not allowed to dry out on the surface,
in which event they retain their moisture
a whole season. Such ground, however,
is not ordinarily a success for the growth
of annuals or soft wooded plants, and to
put it in shape for such purposes lib-
eral quantities of sand should be spaded
in each season. Straw or manure does
not fill the requirements in this occasion,
as, after they become rotted, the soil
runs together as before and the tender

ROSE PLANTS

The kind you need in your business. All
grown from wood taken from plants
growing in the field and in bloom. Have
never been forced; are growing in beds
out of doors with no protection whatever.
They have the wood and stamina which

you fall to get in an under-glass reared plant. Prices also talk. This stock is the same as we are planting in the field ourselves. Quick

order if you can use. Terms cash. Not less than 25 of a variety sold.

roots of annuals and such like are gen-
erally destroyed. "Where there is an
excess of gravel the soil is usually poor,
unless there is a plentiful deposit of
black sediment, and in such cases vege-
tation of all kinds usually does well,
but we do not find that such deposits are
the rule in a majority of cases, being
confined principally to the river bottoms
and overflow alluvial deposits.

Sandy SoU.

Soil that is naturally sandy does very
well for the growing of small soft-
wooded stock, provided it is well ma-
nured, which has to be done several
times each season to have any lasting
effect. Plenty of water is also neces-
sary, as sandy soil is a very great con-
sumer of moisture and there is never
body enough in it to hold anything
upon which the roots can feed. A better
plan where the soil is sandy is to spade
in plenty of adobe or clay, if such is
to be had. This, to a certain extent,
seems to make up the deficiency and the
results from its use are more satisfactory
than from anything in the line of a fer-
tilizer for the growing of ordinary gar-
den plants. G.

We will have to ask you to discon-
tinue our advertisement of roses until

with our orders. — S. J. Reuter, Westerly,
R. I.

There is no known way to make sure
of canna seed growing, or any other
seed, for that matter. Like many of
our gardening operations, we know the
conditions most favorable to germina-
tion and can follow these faithfully and
simply, but beyond that we cannot go.
There is a mysterious latent force which
comes into action when the seed vege-
tates, over which we have no control,
and all the science and devices are pow-
erless if the spark of life is not there —
if the little dry atom called the germ is
lifeless.

Canna seed should be gathered in the
fall as soon as ripe and sown at once.
Then a large proportion will grow. If
left until spring a much smaller per-
centage will grow, and if eighteen
months old you may as well sow No. 1
bird shot and expect it to produce
cannas. This is all right as advice for

the future, but useless for the present
moment. Soak the seed twenty-four
hours in hot water. Let it be nearly
boiling. Then take each seed, hold
firmly with a pair of small pinchers and
with a strong knife slice off a small por-
tion of the hard covering of the seed.
This allows the moisture to penetrate
the seed and start germination. If the
sand in your propagating bed is kept at
70 degrees, then sow the seed in a drill
one inch deep across the bed. You can
sow in a flat of sandy soil and place
the flats a few inches above some hot-
water pipes. If sown in your propa-
gating bed, look out, as the little tender
growth of the canna is susceptible to
creeping, spreading fungus. W. S.

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOOATION OF NURSEJtYMEN.

Pres., E. AlbertBon, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce-
Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md.; Sec'y, Geo.
0. Sealer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches-
ter. The 8lBt annual convention will be held at
Dallas, Texas, June 13-15, 1906.

M. Stein, formerly at Loudonville,
N. Y., is now located at 373 Broadway,
New York City, trading as the Wulle
Nursery Co., representing a number of
European firms.

The southern nurseries, which are now
at the height of their season, especially
•those in the southwest, report an activ-
ity which promises to make the spring
business the best so far recorded by a
considerable margin.

G. Onderdonk, the veteran nursery-
man, who has spent thirty-five years in
the trade in Texas, says the south-
western section of the state was never
so prosperous as now and that trade
prospects were never better.

J. T. LovETT, Little Silver, N. J., has
recently issued a very complete cata-
logue of hardy perennials, a novel fea-
ture of which is that the book is intro-
duced by several pages on the ' ' Value
and Uses of Hardy Perennials." Plant-
ing plans for borders for walk and lawn
are another excellent feature.

On page 1199 of this issue will be
found the full text of a bill recently
introduced in Congress for the purpose
of affording protection in the owner-
ship of horticultural novelties, together
with the report of the action of a nurs-
eryman's committee, the opinion of
some leading nurserymen and the views
of leading seedsmen and uorists.

DISEASES OF THE APPLE.

The diseases of the apple which have
been classed under the name crown-gall
have, during the last few years, at-
tracted much attention, due partly to an
increase of these diseases and partly to
the enacting of more stringent state
laws governing the shipment and inspec-
tion of trees, says George C. Hedgcock,
in a bulletin of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.

A series of investigations into the
nature of crown-gall upon the apple,
pear, raspberry, peach, almond, grape,
rose and other plants has been in prog-
ress for some time in the Mississippi
valley laboratory of the Bureau of Plant
Industry at St. Louis, and also at other
points in the Mississippi valley. It is
not to be assumed, however, that such
diseases are more common in this local-
ity than in some other portions of the
United States. Apple crown-gall and
hairy-root have been found in all nur-
series that have been examined in vari-
ous portions of the country.

The preliminary report is sent out,
not with the intention of giving the re-
sults of all the investigations, but for
the purpose of calling the attention of
apple-tree growers to the different dis-
eases hitherto known as apple crown-
gall, and to endeavor to interest them
in the collection of data regarding the
predisposition of varieties to these dis-
eases.

The investigations have resulted first
in separating apple crown-gall into two
diseases, which are considered distinct.
The disease now designated as crown-

gall is a callous-like gall growth of
hypertrophied tissue following wounds
on some portion of the root system of
tree, which rarely occurs above the
ground on parts of the trunk or limbs.
The malady now called the hairy-root
disease is evidently the same as the one
first given this name by Stewart, Eolfs
and Hall in Bulletin i91 of the New
York State Experiment Station. It is
characterized both in seedlings and in
grafted or budded trees by a stunted
root system, accompanied with an ex-
cessive production of small fibrous roots,
often originating in clusters from the
main root, or tap-root. Galls often occur
in connection with hair-root, but these
are a result of wounds rather than a
form of this disease. Seedlings of the

orchards and nurseries as to the effect
of these diseases upon the life and fruit-
fulness of trees. Any information as
to the locality of orchards in which dis-
eased trees have been planted will be
highly appreciated. In the Bureau's
crown-gall orchard there are more than
200 trees diseased with the hard type
of crown-gall, and 200 healthy trees of
the same grade planted under similar
conditions. After two years' growth six
of the crown-gall trees and nine of the
healthy ones have died. No difference
in the growth of the trees is noticeable.
However, it cannot be assumed from the
results so far that, on the one hand, the
disease may not yet shorten the life of
the trees, or, on the other, that the trees
may not entirely overcome its effects.

Crown-grall on Grafted Apple Tree. Hairy-root Disease on Grafted Apple Tree.

Some Diseases of the Apple.

hairy-root type, unless wounded, remain
free from galls.

Apple crown-gall is of two types. A
hard, callous form is common on grafted
trees at the union of the root and scion,
and at any other point of the root sys-
tem where wounds occur in either the
cultivation or transplanting of trees.
The results of extensive inoculations
with this type have failed to prove that
this disease is of a contagious nature.

A second type is a soft form more
common on seedlings, occurring more
rarely on grafted trees. These softer
galls resemble those of the raspberry
and peach, in that they are soft and
often rot off. It is not certain, how-
ever, that they, like the latter, are re-
placed the following year by a new gall
growth from the adjacent live tissues of
the host, nor is there proof yet that
they are of a contagious nature.

Careful data are being collected from

A tree having crown-gall on its roots,
however, can never be correctly graded
with a smooth-rooted tree.

Nurserymen are advised to be careful
in the selection of seedlings for graft-
ing and budding. All rough, warty or
galled seedlings should be thrown out,
for most of them will form rough-rooted
trees. Seedlings with tufted or hairy
roots should also be rejected, for these,
as shown by the experiments, develop
into hairy-rooted trees with a very de-
ficient root system. The hairy-root dis-
ease, as it appears from the results of
two years' experiments, is not con-
tagious. It is hoped in the near future
to be able to offer some practical means
of reducing the percentage of trees af-
fected with these diseases in the nur-
sery.

The hearty co-operation of nursery-
men and orchardists in securing data is
desired. It is hoped to secure the help

of the leading Durseryinen of this coun-
try in getting'^an accurate count from
each nursery of the number of diseased
trees in at least one row of every vari-
ety in all fields where the trees are all
dug in one season. Such data are de-
sired from every locality where apple
trees are grown. Printed blanks with
directions for tabulating such data have
been provided and these will be sent to
all who request them. Address the Mis-
sissippi Valley Laboratory, St. Louis,

PARK REPORTS.

By all odds the finest annual publica-
tion of the parks of America is the book
issued at St. Louis, the volume for
1904-5, containing the report of Com-
missioner Robert Aull, being just to
hand, eleven months from the date of
the close of their fiscal year. The bind-
ing is leather, gold embossed. There is
an embossed title page and thirty-four
pages carry beautiful half-tone views
from photographs taken in the parks.
It takes only thirty-two pages of text
to carry all the commissioner and the
superintendent had to say of the ways
in which they spent the year's appro-
priations of $152,500. The printing is
in the best style of the typographical
art. There are large maps in color
showing Forest park as it was before
and during the World's Fair and as it
is planned to reconstruct it. The pub-
lication is a credit to the city and the
people who got it out, but one cannot
help a feeling of surprise at Commis-
sioner Aull's plea that the people
awaken to the "urgent needs of the
park system." Spending so goodly a
sum as this report must have cost, on
something of so little real benefit to
the taxpayers, would warrant the sup-
position that they had ''money to
burn. ' '

Hardy Perennial Plants

E are making a specialty of Hardy Perennial, or Hardy Herbaceous Plants, and have a very large stock
of them, particularly in Hollyhocks, Anemones, Columbines, Irises, Gaillardias, Larkspurs, Sweet
Williams, Hardy Pinks, Foxgloves, Phloxes, Oriental Poppies, Pyrethrums and Veronicas. Many
Florists and Nurserymen, who have a local trade, reap a double profit from Hardy Perennials by
making a home planting — a profit from the flowers they produce and one from the sale of plants. By

having Hardy Perennials in flower to show their patrons, they are enabled to greatly increase sales, and the

increase from the plants themselves is frequently many fold.

URBANA, ILL.

The trustees of the University of Illi-
nois called J. C. Olmsted, Brookline,
Mass., into consultation in connection
with certain improvements to be made
in the campus. Mr. Olmsted was at
Urbana March 10, and that evening
talked to an audience of 200 people in
the physics lecture room on ' ' Landscape
Gardening." The talk was informal
and in it tJie speaker told of some of
the general principles, but dwelt more
especially on the relation of landscape
architecture to universities.

Tn speaking of the laying out of uni-
versities Mr. Olmsted called partic-
ular attention to the fact that most
boards of trustees fail to look far
enough ahead. They are inclined to
look ahead a few years, but should an-
ticipate the needs of half a century.
The important things in the early days
of a university are to secure enough
land, to erect uniform buildings and to
build on a common axis or on parallel
axes.

There is little to criticise about the
plantings on university grounds because
there are none. In closing Mr. Olmsted
said: "Whatever men in charge may
do to maintain the attractiveness of the
grounds, a great deal depends upon the
good will and tlioughtfulness of the stu-
dents and professors. Every one must
consider it his duty to refrain from in-
juring the turf. Your grounds are par-
ticularly neat and attractive, and there
are not many universities of tliis size
where I have found this to be true. ' '

St. Louis, Mo. — S. Thompson, of
Thompson & Co., the greenhouse builders,
has been away from business, owing to
sickness, but is convalescing.

Glencoe, III. — Mrs. H. C. McRey-
nolds and Miss Nina F. Howard, as pro-
prietors of the Glencoe Violet Farm, are
meeting with success in their commercial
\ iolet growing enterprise. Stock was
(>riginally imported from the Hudson
river district.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Lent has somewhat shut down on par-
ties, etc., but funeral work keeps things
pretty well moving. Eoses are of better
quality. Carnations also are of better
quality and just about meet the de-
mand. White jumped from $3 to $4
and $5 last week, but soon dropped
after St. Patrick's day.

Callas and longiflorum lilies are
quite plentiful, as are white snap-
dragon, Violets bring 75 cents per 100.

Various Notes.

August von Boeselager, of Mount
Clemens, has a seedling carnation that
has them all beat for size, the flowers
measuring fully four inches across. It
is of the Harlowarden color, flowers
good shape with a fringed edge, fine
calyx and good stem.

The opening of the new Phoenix Club
created a great demand for violets
March 15.

Harvey's span of greenhouses at
Orion, Mich., is being enlarged. Ground
has been broken for four houses, each
25x100 feet and two houses 20x100 feet,
with all the latest improvements.

So far as the selling of green carna-
tions is concerned, St. Patrick's day
was a failure, hundreds of them being
thrown on the scrap pile Monday. The
growers make a great mistake in hold-
ing back their white carnations to be
colored for March 17, as the demand
nowhere near met the supply of spoiled
carnations.

Oxalis, commonly called shamrock,
sold very well; in fact, for some un-
known reason there seems to be a
scarcity of this plant each year, prob-
ably because it is so easy to grow.
Plants in a 2% -or 3-inch pot sell readily
for 15 Cents to 25 cents at retail.

NEV ORLEANS.

The Market.

Since the beginning of the month the
weather has been mild enough to start
everybody planting gardens and all the
markets in town have been lively with
the spring plant trade. The supply is
large with every florist, but by the time
the demand ceases everyone will likely
be well sold out. Good, strong, well
flowered geraniums retail easily at from
$2 to $3 a dozen,

Roses have been in good demand at
from 25 cents to 30 cents for one-year
plants and as high as 50 cents for large
two-year bushes. We would say that
our one-year-old roses are several times
larger than the so-called two-year-old
roses offered in the north.

Various Notes.

At the last meeting of the New Or-
leans Horticultural Society the most im-
portant discussion was on the show next
fall. Our last one was enough of a suc-
cess to give us encouragement for an-
other. It was unanimously decided to
have one sometime next November.

A communication from J. A. Wilson,
editor of the Nut Growers' Association
paper published at Poulan, Ga., was
read by P. Abele. It was on the proper
way to bring together the southern flo-
rists and start a southern convention.
Montgomery, Ala., is suggested as the
best place for the first meeting. The
paper was lengthy and full of practical
and sensible advice.

E. Bsker was presented with a beau-
tiful armchair, a donation from the
members of the society in recognition of
his good services during its last show.

John Eblen was induced to keep on
giving his good services as treasurer of
the society, a position which he has so
well filled since the organization.

A. Alost came for the third time with
his anuual invitation to the members to
partake of a dinner on the day follow-
ing Easter at his place, the Rose Villa,
on Gentiliy road.

Richard Eichling, grower for Rehm,
had some fine specimens of ground or-
chid and extra good plants of double
German hyacinth.

H. Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer &
Co., Philadelphia, Pa., was lately a vis-
itor in town. M. M. L.

in many places.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Mabch 22, 1906.

BALTIMORE.

The Market

Business the past two weeks has con-
tinued very satisfactory, and the past
week we have had real winter weather —
hail, snow and rain and very little sun-
shine. The effect has already shown
on roses and carnations, of which there
was a shortage last Saturday. The sup-
ply of good carnations is far less than
last year, and prices are also better; the
general quality of carnations this year
is only fair, with the exception of En-
chantress, which come in very fine.

Boses iiave been pretty good all win-
ter and some very choice stock can now
be had at the Baltimore Florists' Ex-
change.

Callas and southern jonquils are very
plentiful and hard to move; other bulb
stock goes fairly well.

Qub Meeting;.

The following officers were elected at
the last meeting of the Gardeners ' Club :
"William Lehr, president; Charles L.
Seybold, vice-president ^ J. J. Perry,
secretary; George Talbot, financial sec-
retary; Frederick G. Burger, treasurer;
Charles M. Wagner, librarian.

After the election seventy of the club
members and guests went to the Hotel
Lexington, where the banquet was an
enjoyable event. The toast-master was
E. A. Seidewitz, and those responding
to toasts were President-elect Lehr, Rob-
ert Craig and John Burton, of Philadel-
puia, on "The American Beauty."

A. F.

Marengo, III. — Mayor J. W. Lyon, of
Belvidere, is completing arrangements
for opening a flower store here as a

GERBEEA JAMESONI.

By the application of a morsel of
science I had practically the monopoly
of the distribution of Gerbera Jamesoni
for some years, says a writer in the
Gardeners' Magazine. Seeds were dif-
ficult to get elsewhere, but I had a fair
supply each year, and distributed some-
times as many as fifty plants during the
season. The point was this. It is well
known in a certain department of botany
that the compositae are very frequently
self-sterile, i. e., the pollen is of no
effect on the plant that produced it.
Pollen must always come from another
individual, so that if you have one plant
only you cannot obtain seed, while if
you have two plants, you can get seed
on both. This is to be pointed out, be-
cause it applies equally to the hybrids,
which, in most cases, are true hybrids
as distinguished from crosses, and are
perfectly fertile. It is not well-known,
perhaps, that cinerarias, for instance, are
strictly self-sterile. Even seed growers,
I believe, are not always aware of this
fact.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

After several clays of fine -weather
with the thermometer at 70 degrees, and
when we were congratulating ourselves
upon spring being here, we were rudely
awakened by the visit of what people
here call a ' ' nortiier, ' ' and the mercury
traveled towards the bulb at a lively
rate, making it very disagreeable and
causing fires to be rebuilt. These sudden
changes are what make the florist here
keep his eyes open, and wonder what is
coming next.

Judging from reports of advance or-
ders for spring ])lanting, there will hard-
ly bo enough stock home-grown to fill
the demand. A large amount of hardy
shrubs is being planted and the indi-
cations point to an increased demand.

This has been the mildest winter any
in this section can remember, but it has
been exceedingly wet, keeping the plan-
ters out of the field, and in some sec
tions they are not yet through picking
cotton. Carnations in some places are
looking fine. A few growers have had
to cancel standing orders, claiming
their stock was off crop. I cannot un-
derstand how this can be unless their
plants have been pushed too far; the
same varieties grown by other growers
are in the pink of condition.

Being informed when I first came to
this section that growing roses was an
impossibility, I have tried experiments
with a few and have convinced myself
that roses under some conditions can
be grown successfully. Mr. Goree, of
Whitewright, Tex., for his own amuse-
ment and as an amateur has made a
success, and Mr. Farley, of Denison,
who has a few at his place, is also rais-
ing some fair stock. As I have not yet
experi<'nced a summer here, I am not
yet prepaicd to say as to the final suc-
cess of my plan, but am hoping that
it will come out all right.

Carnation cuttings are planted out
here very early, about the first of April,
as it is necessary to get all the growth
possible before the hot weather comes.
r have been told the weather gets so
hot that it shrivels up the leaves on the
trees and that the ground bursts open
with the intensely hot, dry atmosphere,
but when September comes everything

commences to grow again and in Octo-
ber and November plants, especially
roses, are at their best. What can be
grown during the winter season is the
question many growers ask, and it will
have to unravel itself.

Early blooming flowers are what is
wanted ; late flowering stock, all right
in the north, is too late for this country.
Early propagation, early planting and
early housing I think will solve the
question.

Bulbous stock is about all gone; there
.ire some fine hyacinths, Von Sions and
Keizerskroon tulips left, but they will
be all gone before Easter. Outdoor stock
has passed through the season all right

so far and the only fear is now that
they are making good growth, a sudden
cold snap may come and imdo all the
work that has been done.

The Market.

Though ^veathe^ conditions have been
unfavorable, business continues good.
St. Patrick '.s day was the best of the
^veek, both for cut flowers and pot
plants, including, of course, those pretty
little pots of shamrocks. All cut stock
is in fair supply, but the finish of the
tulips seems near.

Easter prospects are now uppermost
in the minds of both growers and re-
tailers and at this time they are good.
Visits to the different ranges disclose
the fact that large stocks of all plants
tliat .ire generally designated as Easter
plants are on hand and it is reasonable
that cut flowers will be plentiful.

Various Notes.

The most notable decorations of the
week were for Speaker Cannon's din-
ner to the Gridiron Club and for the
Shriners' banquet, both on the night of
March 17. The Cannon dinner was in

the elegant banquet hall of the new
Willard hotel, which was decorated for
the occasion in the style that has made
the names of the decorators, J. H. Small
& Sons, famous from ocean to ocean. A
notable feature was a perfect model of
the Capitol. This was placed on the
orchestra stand, while a skillful arrange-
ment of various greens extended in
front and represented the grounds. An
immense quantity of smilax was used
to garland the entire hall, the national
colors being everywhere prominent.
Palms and foliage plants were in every
available niche, great bunches of Ameri-
can Beauty roses being the gems worthy
of such a setting.

The decoration for the Shriners' ban-
quet was executed by the Gude Bros.
Co. in a style that was in keeping with
the fine record of the decorators.

$35,000, Avas incorporated March 15 at
Toledo, O. The names of Chas. K.
Friedman, Orion W. Nelson, B. C. Ames,
S. M. Lavin and James Austin, Jr., ap-
pear in the incorporation papers, but it
is understood that other influential
stockholders uho are not mentioned at
this time are interested. The purpose
of the company is to establish a first-
class nursery for the propagation of
hardy plants, perennials, ornamental
and fruit trees, and also engage in the
importation of nursery stock.

An option on a tract of land south
of the city has been secured and within
thirty days work will begin on the erec-
tion of six or eight large greenhouses
as a starter. The promoters are ag-
gressive and practical men.

PROVIDENCE, R. I.

Two greenhouses, the property of
Dexter E. Horton, of South Rehoboth,
were destroyed by fire about 4 o'clock
ciu the morning of March 13. In the
two houses were 35,000 cabbage plants,
8,000 tomato plants and some new farm-
ing implements, which were a total loss.
The fire wa.s discovered by the hired
man, who roused the neighbors, and
through energetic work on their part
they Avere able to j)revent the spread of
the flames to the other buildings close
to the greenhouses. The fire had gained
such a start at the time that it was dis-
covered that efforts to get it vmder con-
trol were futile. The two greenhouses
were burned to the ground.

The loss sustained is estimated at
about $800. No insurance was carried.

The Inner edge Is sharp. Its oval shape permits the operator to weed behlud the plants while
standing in front. The pushing edpe is thin enough to work easily through the soil, but too dull to
damage the stems of the plants should it come in contact with them.

It takes out the weeds and leaves the surface smooth. What's more, it does all the -work so
rapid it will pay for itself in one day's use.

GLEN COVE.N.Y.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Nassau County Horticultural Society
was held March 7, President Harrison
in the chair. The attendance of mem-
bers was large, making a record. Five
new members were elected to active, and
seven nominated to active membership;
also two to honorary membership.

The chief business was the drafting
of a schedule for the coming fall flower
show. It is the earnest endeavor of the
society to make this exhibition a thor-
ough success. Some good prizes are al-
ready forthcoming. The silver cup, by
Mrs. Percy Chubb, has been placed uj>on
carnations, calling for fifty carnations
in six standard varieties, arranged for
effect. Generous gifts as prizes have
also been given by Mr. and Mrs. Max-
well, Glen Cove; "Weber & Don and
Stumpp & Walter Co., New York,

The floral exhibits by members at the
meeting were many, diverse and highly
interesting, showing throughout superb
cultivation, Alexander Mackenzie staged
a lovely table containing a vase of mixed
carnations, a bunch of Princess of Wales
violets, a beautiful pan of white hya-
cinths, a vase of roses, pots of cyclamen.
Primula stellata, P, Forbesii and a gor-
geous display of Primula obconica, all
being exceedingly well grown and of
beautiful colors; also some fine clusters
of greenhouse tomatoes, Stirling Castle
being the variety. S. J. Trepass staged
an equally beautiful table of cut flowers,
flowering and foliage plants. He had a
fine vase of mixed carnations; also pots
of cyclamen, cineraria. Primula obcon-
ica and a grand pan of yellow tulips.
H. F. Meyers had on his table some
good carnations, a nice flowering bush
of white lilac, and some superb spikes
of antirrhinums. H. Matz showed a
well grown pan of Asparagus Sprengeri
and F. Mense a lovely bunch of 100
Princess of Wales violets.

The Mackenzie prize for the best
flowering plant was won by T. Harrison
with a basket of Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine, which was the admiration of all
present.

8. J. Trepass' new seedling carnation,
Maxwellton, a grand white with Lawson
blood, received the society's certificate
of merit, scoring eighty-seven and a half
points. F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown,
N. Y., showed a vase of their grand new
carnation, Winsor. J. F. J.

Albert Lea, Minn. — P. Clausen &
Son report business good and the outlet
for stock constantly increasing. They
will this spring build two more houses,
each 28x110, for carnations, which are
their specialty, but they also grow roses
and a general line of cut flowers and
l>lants for the retail trade.

A Texas Town.

This is what you city folks would call
a 30-cent town, but we are climbing very
near the $1 round now. I have grown
and sold carnations at $1 per dozen,
which were the first raised and sold in
Tyler. I h.'ive also sold chrysanthemums
at $3 per dozen. Most of the cut flower
trade is in funeral work, but taken alto-
gether the business is growing nicely.
Smith county is the center of the fruit-
growing belt. Mrs, Frank Hewitt is
planning to enlarge her carnation house
next year. F. H.

MORE PAINT TALK

•

SOME TIME AGO WE SAID A LOT
ABOUT OUR SOAKED-IN METHOD OF
PRIMING OUR GREENHOUSE MATERIAL,
NOW A WORD ON THE OTHER PAINTING

Did you know that all white lead which is ground with the oil in pulp form
contains about five per cent moisture, that it is this moisture in the lead which
causes the mildew, makes your paint blister and peel oflf? Tliis is just the point
that our chemists have found out beyond all doubt, and our years of experimenting
with pulp-ground lead and bone-dry ground lead has proven to us that only the
bone-dry lead will stand up under greenhouse conditions. Bone-dry lead is simply
a lead which is thoroughly kiln-dried, all moisture excluded, then ground as fine
as flour before it is mixed with the oil. This lead will then take six to eight
gallons of oil to every hundred pounds against five gallons of pulp-ground lead.
This, of course, makes it go just that much farther in laying, covering twenty-
five per cent more at least. Because it is ground so fine, it mixes so thoroughly
with the oil that it covers the wood with a perfect enamel, thus excluding all
moisture, preventing all mildew,, and when properly laid is guaranteed against
cracking or peeling off.

Now this Is not all about the
paint question either. The oil
that Kites into the paint has a
lot to do with it— and we have
a lot to do with this oil. Next
week we will tell yon what we
do with it. So you see it's
these details after all that are
Important and every detail is
plven Its right importance In
our house-making. It pays to

AMERICAN
ROSE SOCIETY

Vr»>-tfe».^*^

THE BOSTON EXHIBITION.

The annual exhibition of the Ameri-
can Rose Society in conjunction with
that of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society was held on March 23, 24 and
25, at Horticultural hall, Boston, and
proved a magnificent success in every
way. Not only were the entries far more
numerous than a year ago, occupying
over double last year 's space, but weather
conditions were as near perfect as pos-
sible and the attendance of the public
larger than ever before. True, the low
temperatures made extra care necessary
in wrapping plants and flowers, but the
clear skies and bright sunshine which
prevailed during the exhibition cheered
everyone and assisted in making the
show the most successful of its kind ever
held in America. The exhibition of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society was
a splendid one. It filled the main exhibi-
tion hall, loggia and small hall, while
the society used the lecture hall.

The cut blooms were far more numer-
ous than in 1905, and the quality also
showed a distinct advance. The Beauty
classes were the hardest to judge, com-
petition being very keen. Liberty and
Bichmond were each finely shown. The
winning vase of the latter, from Waban
Conservatories, was more admired than
any other in the hall. The vase of
Chatenay, which won the Welch cup for
the Exeter Rose Conservatories for the
best vase of roses in the show, were
probably the best of that variety ever
staged. Brides and Bridesmaids were
numerously shown. Golden Gate also
had some excellent entries and seemed to
take with the public. Gen. MacArthur,
Wellesley and Killamey all had ad-
mirers and were finely shown. Brunners,
Laings and other hybrids were but in-
differently shown, not up to Boston's
standard.

Pot roses were more of a feature than
ever. Thomas Roland's group was su-
perb, and Edgar, Steinhoff, Walsh and
others showed many fine hybrid per-
petuals and ramblers. Boston this year
had to lower its colors in one or two
of the most important classes, after a
struggle. Philadelphia deserved the
honors secured and we doubt not but
that future wars of the roses between
the growers of the two cities will be
given added zest by the Hub's tem-
porary discomfiture. Prizes awarded by
the Rose Society were as follows, for
Division A:

American Beauty (steins not to exceed four
feet), first, Geo. Burton; second, BrlarcUflC
Greenhouse.

Adiantura Farleyensc, making a light
and pleasing arrangement. With one
exception the remaining competitors used
treble the amount of flowers and green-
ery needed and the same was true of
several of the dinner table decorations.
Houghton & Clark used Killarney on
their winning table. The general ar-
rangement of the mantels and tables was
far too heavy, but they aided materially
in lending attractiveness to the show.

The first business session of the Amer-
ican Kose Society opened at 8 o 'clock on
Friday evening, with a fair attendance.
President Alexander Montgomery read
his annual address, which was as fol-
lows:

President's Address.

For the second time I have the honor
to report to you on the progress made
by this society. During the year the
commendable encouragement which we
have received from all over the country
is evidence that the rose men are grad-
ually becoming interested in our work.
This interest is in a large measure due
to the excellent work of our secretary,
and also to the introduction of several
new roses that give good promise of be-
ing valuable additions to our list of
winter flowers. This branch of our busi-

that responds readily to their efforts
toward improvement, while with the rose,
even the most expert hybridizer finds it
slow work to get anything that is an
improvement. However, when one is
offered for sale, both large and small
growers should buy it and test it for
themselves; if you don't succeed at first
don 't be in too great a hurry to con-
demn, but remember the Liberty and
how few had good success with it at
first, yet it became one of our most
valuable varieties.

The rose of the future will undoubted-
ly be raised from a mixture of the tea
and the hybrid blood, for in no other
way can we expect to get the bright
colors that are so much wanted. We
may not be able to grow the future
roses in the haphazard way that the
true teas have been grown in the past,
but by a careful study of their require-
ments our progressive rose men will have
little difficulty in adapting themselves
to the best methods of growing them.
From what I have been able to learn
from some of those who are devoting
their best energies to the raising of new
roses, the first great principle they have
in mind is that a rose, to be of value,
must have a strong constitution and be
a vigorous grower, otherwise it will be

ness is worthy of all the eocouragement
our members can give it, as the future
success of our society depends, to a great
extent, upon the interest created by their
introduction.

While we cannot expect to have a
Richmond every year, yet there is evi-
dence of other valuable varieties in sight
that will help to whet the curiosity and
consequently the interest of our rose
growers. We cannot hope to compete
with the carnation men in this respect,
as they are fortunate in having a flower

of little use to the American rose grower.
A fine individual flower without these
qualities will not satisfy. Many plants
found in every batch of seedlings have
ideal flowers but are so wanting in vigor
of growth that they have to be discarded.
It takes considerable courage to do this,
yet the honesty of purpose of our seed-
ling rose raisers can be depended upon
to do it, as only by these heroic methods
can the business prosper and the best
interests of our society be conserved.
I am not the least pessimistic as re-

gards the future of the rose business^
for the rose will hold her proud place in
the commercial world as well as in the
world beautiful. The growth of the rose
business in the past twenty-five years
has been phenomenal ; its growth in the
future, I doubt not, will be equally
great. Therefore, 1 say to the young
men starting in, put forth your whole
energy to acquire the best methods of
cultivating the queen of flowers that you
may produce her in the highest state of
perfection. Don 't be afraid to exhibit
at our shows, and in this way induce a
healthy rivalry ; don 't be afraid of be-
ing beaten, you cannot always win. Try
again and if you are made of the right
material for an exhibitor you will be
surprised to find how one or two failures
will stimulate to increased effort to win
the coveted blue ribbon of our society.

It should be the duty of the American
Eose Society to encourage the amateur
rose grower in every possible way by
distributing proper literature, giving di-
rections how to plant, and also what to
plant; yet our greatest effort should be
put forth to enroll the commercial cut
flower and plant men. We should not
rest until we have every rose grower in
the country on our membership lis|t. The
amateurs' interests are only local, they
will not follow our exhibitions from
place to place, consequently, when the
exhibition goes away, as it must if it
is to be a permanent success, they lose
interest and drop off our list. Let us
make our society of interest to the pro-
fessional by making it profitable and
distance will not deter him from being
there. We may just as well look this
question squarely in the face if we aim
to be a permanent society, for sentiment
doesn't count in the commercial world.
; The carnation man attends his conven-
tion that he may exhibit or see the new
varieties, or so he can sell or buy stock,
not for the love of the flower altogether
does lie go. The rose man is no different
from his brother, the carnation man —
there must be some profitable attraction
to bring him out — therefore, it is the
duty of every rose grower to make an
exhibit of liis wares at our exhibition;
if he has something new so much the
])otter, but the small grower, as well as
the large, ought to do his part.

Let our society go to all parts of the
country. They say a rolling stone
gathers no moss, but I believe a rolling
national Bose Society would gather
members and corresponding strength.

In conclusion I wish to thank the mem-
bers of the American Kose Society for
the honor done me by twice electing me
to be your president, and while I have
fallen far short of what I wanted to ac-
complish for the society, yet I have done
the best I could under the circumstances.
Although I now step out of office, the
society will still have my hearty co-
operation and best wishes for its suc-
cess.

Secretary's Report.

With another year of experience to
our credit, we come again as guests of
our good friends of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, to set up one more
milestone in the history of the rose in
America and the organization devoted
to its advancement. How have we fared
during the year since we last met in this
room? The best answer I can give is to
ask you to look at the splendid exhibi-
tion in the adjoining hall. Your secre-
tary can give you facts and figures of

March 29, 1906.

the year's doings, but you who are privi-
leged to see this exhibition will care
more for the kind of evidence here given,
that the rose growers are wide awake,
that the American Bose Society is backed
by workers both willing and capable and
has now gotten safely beyond the point
Avhere any doubt could exist as to its
permanency anli usefulness.

For the first time since the organiza-
tion of this society an annual report
and bulletin has been published. In it
are recorded the proceedings at the
meeting in Boston one year ago and the
doings of the executive committee in the
meantime, including the delightful visit
to the rose garden at Hartford, Conn.,
last June. Several well-prepared and in-
structive papers generously written by
members for this purpose are included,
together with a list of the members up
to date. A few advertisements were in-
serted which materially reduced the cost
of issuing the report. A copy was duly
mailed to all members and further refer-
ence to it now is unnecessary except
that your secretary has to acknowledge
the unfortunate omission of a number
of names that should have appeared in
the published list of members, his own
name being one of the unfortunate ones.
The others were Miss C. Cruger, J. D.
Eisele, A. Gude, W. F. Gude and Mrs.
G. M. Reynolds.

The number of members who have
paid annual dues during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1905, or later, is 112;
the number of life members, forty-two;
making the total membership March 20,
1906, 154. Of this number twenty-two
are new members added since March 21,
1905. Resignations received since that
date have been fourteen.

As I have said, the problem of the
existence and prosperity of the American
Rose Society seems now to have been
solved. Under its standard are gathered
not only the commercial cut flower grow-
ers with their marvelous enterprise and
giant influence, but specialists in roses
for the garden, park and the dwelling
house. The hybridist and fancier, no
matter what direction liis enthusiasm
may take, is coming to be a believer in
and a supporter of the Rose Society.
Your secretary is of the opinion that our
best success lies in holding the affairs
of the organization under professional
management for the present at least, it
being clearly the duty of the practical
rosarian first to establish the organiza-
tion on a sound foundation and then,
by such educational means as are pos-
sible, to widen the circle of the society's
scope and popularity.

No better beginning can be made than
the assembling of an exhibition, alike
creditable in extent and quality, such as
we have in evidence on this occasion.
Under existing circumstances our strong-
est appeal to the people lies in the ex-
hibition feature. Other work will follow
in course. Hybridization, cultural ex-
perimenting and investigation must be
encouraged and results carefully tabu-
lated and given widespread publicity.
All this means work unremitting, me-
thodical and self-sacrificing, but if it is
undertaken in the right spirit we shall
have something to show for it all a year
or two hence.

It is a knowledge of this urgent neces-
sity which prompts me to ask that you
now place the oflSce of secretary in the
hands of some one who can give it much
more time than I am able to devote to
it. I have realized all along, since as-

M. H. Walsh's New Rambler Rose, Delight.

suming the duties of secretary, that the
time and eff"ort 1 have been able to
spend in the work have been most inade-
quate to the pressing needs of the so-
ciety. Some one should be secured who
can keep up a vigorous campaign all
tlirougli the year and build up the mem-
l)ership so that the annual dues may be
sufficient to ])ay running expenses. Our
field is a wide one and its possibilities
far from being disclosed as yet.

Good of the Order.

Tlie treasurer's report brougiit up a
general discussion. John II. Taylor ad-
vocated a permanent fund, the interest
from which would pay running expenses
of the society. E. A. Reed, Holyoke,
thought a great effort should be made
by the society to interest more people,
especially amateurs. Robert Simpson
thought the best method was for each to
endeavor to secure more members. Mem-
bership could be lifted to 500 or 1,000,
and eventually with the co-operation of
amateurs to 5,000. We must, however,
get up enthusiasm to achieve such re-
sults. A. Farenwald thought efforts
should first be made to secure all pro-
fessional growers and amateurs later.
Benj. Dorrance thought that there should
be more accord between growers and re-
tailers. J. H. Taylor suggested that the
secretary be instructed to ask all grow-
ers in the country if they would help
the promotion of a permanent fund at
$100 each. Messrs. Patrick Welch, Geo.

(". Watson and W. 11. Elliott spoke on
the subject briefly. W. C. Barry said
all successful organizations have perma-
nent funds. Benjamin Dorrance sug-
gested that the rose firms give the so-
ciety some advertising space in their cat-
alogues asking outsiders to join the so-
ciety. James Wheeler urgecl all to go
ahead and get up enthusiasm, which is
a vital necessity to ensure success.

Pa]>ers were next read by P. .J. Lynch
and J. ,T. f'urrau, each of whom received
a vote of thanks. George Asmus ' paper
was ordered referred and printed. Mr.
Asmus regretted his inability to be pres-
ent. A. Farenwald 's paper followed.

Mr. Pray 's paper on soluble fertilizers
caused some discussion, in which W. H.
Elliott and A. Farenwald took part. The
last speaker said he had become dissatis-
fied with the varying qualities in bone
and now used blood. It caused a bad
odor for a time, but was better for the
plants.

An adjourned session was called to
order by President Montgomery at 2:30
p. m. on Saturday. Nominations for
president were first in order. Mr. Mont-
gomery would not be a candidate for a
third term. Robert Simpson, P. J.
Lynch and H. A. Siebrecht were nom-
inated. Mr. Simpson at first declined to
allow his name to be used, but finally
withdrew his objections. He was elected.
For vice-president F. R. Pierson and
Alexander Montgomery, Jr., were nom-
inated. The latter withdrew his name

and Mr. Pierson w as unanimously chosen.
For treasurer Harry O. May was unan-
imously chosen. For secretary W. J.
Stewart withdrew his name. G. C. Wat-
son and Benjamin Hammond were nom-
inated. The last gentleman was chosen
after Mr. Watson had withdrawn in his
favor. j\I. H. Walsli resigned from tho
executive committco, owing to inability
to attend the meetings. J. J. Ciirran,
Peter Bissot and W. A. Manda were
elected directors.

The question of the selection of the
next meeting place was opened by A.
Parenwald, who spoke in favor of Chi-
cago. Winf ried Rolker suggested Eoches-
ter. Harry O. May thought the question
should be left to the executive commit-
tee. Benjamin Dorrance said there was
a standing offer from the American In-
stitute, New York, to hold their show
there at any time. Geo. C. Simpson
thought Kansas City would be a good
eity to meet in. It was decided to leave
the matter in the hands of the executive
committee.

A short discussion arose over the is-
suance of certificates of the society to
American raised roses and the possibility
•of protecting any floral novelties by
patents.

Thanks were tendered to the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society, the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club of Boston for
their entertainment, and the local daily
press for liberal notices of the exhibi-
tion.

The Banquet.

The banquet tendered through the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club by the

many musicians is sometimes a hot house,
and as I have been chosen as chairman
this evening I will not quail on toast."

Alexander Montgomery, the first
speaker, received an ovation. He said
tlie grand audience and the crowds flock-
ing to the exhibition attested that the
rose is still queen of flowers. Robert
Simpson received an enthusiastic wel-
come. He said he was really more a
man of work than of speech. He con-
sidered the exhibition in the several
halls the best ever gotten up in America.

W. P. Rich welcomed all present in
the name of the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society. Miss Pettigrew, daugh-
ter of J. A. Pettigrew, favored the audi-
ence with a solo which was vigorously
encored. F. R. Pierson said he came so
often to Boston that he felt he really
belonged there. Boston has set a great
pace this time. There was no other city
where so much all around good stock
could be seen under one roof.

W. C, Barry wished he could impress
on all present the importance and dig-
nity of the American Rose Society. If
it is not at the top, it certainly belongs
there. An exhibition superior to the one
seen could only be had by a supreme
effort.

Peter Fisher was called upon to speak
for the sister Carnation Society. Colonel
Castle spoke for the city of Boston.

Fred Sander, St, Albans, England, as
one of the foreign visitors, said if such
a show of roses could be given in Lon-
don at this season it would create a
sensation. He had seen all the leading
shows in Europe for ten years past and
the Boston show was one of the grandest

horticultural interests of Boston to the
American Rose Society took place at the
Hotel Brunswick on Saturday evening.
The tables were decorated under the
supervision of Patrick Welch and Ed-
\vard Hatch, roses, of course, being lav-
ishly used. After the reception, about
200 sat down. James Wheeler intro-
duced as toastmaster Prof. L. C. Elson,
of the New England Conservatory of
Music, He said in opening "that a
musical conservatory where there are

he had visited. He spoke of the fine
culture of Miltonia vexillaria near Bos-
ton and hoped we would soon be able to
grow Odontoglossum Alexandrse, the
queen of orchids, by the hundreds of
thousands as tiicy do in Europe.

Other speakers were P. J. Lynch, G.
C. Watson, Benj. Dorrance, A. Faren-
wald and Geo. Buxton.

Convention Jottings.

The new president of the Rose Society
is cool headed, practical, an ideal man
for the position. It entails much hard
work, worry and responsibility, as is
well known, but no member of the so-
ciety will make a worthier successor to
Alex. Montgomery.

The Minneapolis belle. Miss Kate
Moulton, arrived in very good condition
and many liked it. Queen Beatrice,
from F. H. Kramer, was also on hand.

Roland's prize group of pot roses on
the stage consisted of a number of
plants each of Crimson Rambler, Phila-
delphia Rambler, Lady Gay, Farquhar,
Dorothy Perkins and Magna Charta. All
were beautifully grown and well mer-
ited the silver cup received.

Zero weather and deep snow seemed
strange for the rose meeting; for the
carnation meeting it would have been
more seasonable. Temperatures 6 degrees
below zero were recorded within twenty-
five miles of Boston on March 25. '

We hope that Chicago will invite the
Rose Society for the next convention.
Too bad the western growers could not
have seen the Boston show. In many
respects it would have been a surprise
to them. We had one Chicago gentle-
man present. He said the rose plants
would create a sensation in his city.
We hope it will be Chicago 1907, and we
feel sure it can be made a memorable
show.

The new secretary, Benjamin Ham-
mond, will put persistence, energy and
enthusiasm into his position, the vice-
president is well known as a hustler and
with the same treasurer we think the
new board a strong one, and likely to
render a good account of itself.

Walsh's ramblers were as usual a
great feature of the exhibition; it was
a big task to ship so many big plants
such a distance in the severe weather we

had, and Mr. Walsh deserves all praise
for his achievement.

Soleil d' Or and Frau Karl Druschki
were much admired among the pot
plants. Baby Ramblers Avere well grown,
and what a wealth of material in the
rambler class was shown! Herein lies
one of the great future hopes of the
American Rose Society. By broadening
this branch the army of non-professional
growers will become increasingly inter-
ested.

The attendance at the exhibition was
a record breaking one ; especially was
this the case during the band concerts.
Locomotion was difficult during a large
part of Sunday owing to the crowds.
Richmond seemed to be tlie favorite with
most of the visitors.

The Holly-Castle electric circulator
was in operation at the rear of the
main exhibition hall and attracted the
notice of many growers.

H. JM, Robinson & Co. made a nice
display of their sundries in the main
hall. W. N. C.

BOSTON SPRING SHOW.

The annual spring show of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society, held in
conjunction with the rose show, was
well up to the usual standard. Owing to
the severely cold weather there were
fewer large plants than usual, but flower-
ing plants were more numerous and bet-
ter. M. H. Walsh took all the prizes
for roses with some .splendid specimens,
also all the prizes fur groups of ram-
blers and other decorative ruses suitable
for landscape effects. E. MacMulkin
won on azaleas, etc.

In the bulb classes William Whitman,
M. Sullivan gardener, almost completely
swept the deck. He captured in the
various plant classes eighteen firsts,
seven seconds and one third. Thomas
Roland was first for group of Easter
plants, which included Canterbury bells
and well-flowered Lilium speciosum.

W. H. Elliott took the lion's share of
the prizes in the rose classes.

Carnations made quite an extensive
showing. For crimson Patten & Co.
led, S. J. Goddard second, Baker & Co.
third, all on Fenn. For dark pink F. F.
Matthews was first and E. A. Wood sec-
ond, both with Lawson; Stevens Co.
third for Pink Patten. In light pink
W. Nicholson, G. E. Buxton and Patten
& Co. Avon in the order named, all with
Enchantress. Stevens Co. won on scar-
let with Manley, Goddard second with
Cardinal, Patten & Co. third Avith Man-
ley.

I>ady Bountiful won all prizes for
Avhite, the Avinners being G. E. Buxton,
S. J. Goddard and W. Nicholson. In
yelloAV Backer & Co. took first and sec-
ond on Golden GIoav and Eldorado. For
Avhite variegated Patten & Co. were first
AA'ith Mrs. Patten, F. R. Pierson second
on Variegated LaAvson, W. Nicholson
third on Patten.

For Campbell violets M. Orr, E. Bing-
ham and H. F. Calder won. One hun-
dred double any other variety, first H.
F. Woods, Swanley White ; second same
for ^larie Louise; third N. F, Comley,
Swanley White. On Princess of Wales,
Sim, Comley and Bingham were win-
ners. On 100 any single, Sim Avas first
for Governor Herrick, Mrs. Ayer second
for California, H. F. Woods third for
California.

For best display of cut orchids J. E.
RothAvell, Emil Johannson gardener, won
the silver gilt medal with a splendid col-
lection filling OA-er 200 vases.

Miscellaneous exhibits were unusually
numerous and interesting. Peter Fisher
had fine vases of Evangeline, seedling
No. 500 and Beacon. Wm. Nicholson
had Aristocrat and Afterglow. Jolin
E. Haines had a nice vase of John E.
Haines. Peirce Bros.' scarlet, Governor
Gould, looked Avell ; it received honor-
able mention. S. J. Goddard showed
Helen Goddard. F. R. Pierson Co. re-

ceived a certificate for Winsor. Backer
& Co. had a good yelloAv seedling. Gutt-
man & Weber shoAAed a fine vase of Vic-
tory. Patten & Co. had fiAe large vases
of Mikado and Pink Patten. H. A.
Jahn had his white seedling. No. 49.
Wm. Sim shoAved magnificent vases of
Sunbeams, Mont Blanc and Earliest of

W. W. Edgar showed Adiantum Edgari,
awarded honorable mention. F. R.
Pierson Co. had a table of Nephrolepis
Piersoni elegantissima. Thomas Roland
had Bougainvillea Sanderiana and some
finely trained and flowered plants of
Malieriiia odorata, the latter awarded a
bronze medal. W. W, Rawson Co.
planted a large oval bed on the floor in-
side llie entrance hallway, with Vitex
Opliir d 'Or, edged Avith trifolium.

able orchids. A. C. Zvolanek had a col-
lection of hi.s winter blooming sweet
peas, Avhich received a certificate of
merit.

•Tames Crenshaw received honorable
mention for a very promising seedling
asparagus, distinct from plumosus
nanus, very excellent for decorative pur-
poses.

plants of new rambler roses not pre-
viously seen here. The most striking

tificate. This is a little lighter in color
than HiaAvatha and was the most ad-
mired rambler plant in the hall.

DETERIORATION OF FORCING
ROSES.

[A puper by A. Farenwald, IlillBldo, Pa., read
licforo the -Vmerlciiii Hose Society at Boston,
March 2;}, lauO.] •

"Our Failures," I might justly call
the introduction to this subject. Little
do \ve liear of these failures in our trade
papers. Why? Because very few care
publicly to ventilate their failures.
Pride, no doubt, often prevents growers
from proclaiming these, whereby others
might gain valuable information. One
of the main objects of the Eose Society
is to seek and distribute this informa-
tion concterning roses.

In handling this topic I shall merely
confine myself to stating facts with
wliich all of you, I am sure, have more
or less come in contact, leaving it for
the discussion to find the cause and
remedy, if it be possible.

In the first place, are our forcing
roses deteriorating? If they are, why?
Can anyone prove by tiieir records that
they are still producing as many flowers
per plant as they did in the early stages
of their introduction, as in Brides, or
Maids, Beauties, or any other older forc-
ing variety? If they are not, what
seems to be the reason?

Tn years gone by it was a common
thing to see Brides and Maids growing
from young plants on own roots in one
season to a height of from four to five
feet, giving from thirty to forty, or
even more, flowers on good stiff stems
per plant. But, liow often do we see it
now?

Again, why liave so many growers
been forced to introduce the system of
grafting in growing Brides, Maids and
nearly every other forcing rose, with the
exception of Beauties, where in former
years plants on own roots did as well
and better? Diseases were then as they
are now, but were conditions as favor-
able to them then as now? Should con-
ditions be more favorable now, why
should such be the case? Are we less
careful in the methods of propagation,
or too much addicted to the use of high-
ly concentrated fertilizers? Whatever
the cause or causes may be, the fact re-
mains that places which were known for
their excellence in growing Brides or
Maids had to cease growing them grafted
or own roots.

With American Beauty, our strongest

growing forcing rose, the same state of
affairs holds good. Here is an illustra-
tion, recently told me by a grower of
Beauties who had remarkable success
with them. In the first year they
brought nim $16,000. Year after year,
however, they gradually brought less,
until eight years later they only brought
$3,500, with the same amount of plants
as at first. Of course he had to give up
growing them. Can anyone throw light
on this and similar cases happening all
over the country?

In concluding, I hope that the mem-
bers present will take a lively interest in
discussing tliese important questions, but
1 would also appeal to all practical rose
growers all over the country, who, if
they should read them, if they think
they liave any solution for some of these
vital questions, to take an opportunity
to state them in their best beloved trade
])aper, even though, it be but a few lines.
I am sure it would be greatly appre-
ciated by all concerned.

LATEST METHODS IN GROWING.

[A Paper by J. J. Curran, Klmira, N. Y..
read before the American Rose Society at its
Hoston meeting: Maroh 23, 1906.]

When I undertook to read a paper
before your society on this subject I
had little thought that in my researches
into the newer methods I should find so
little that was really new. It is an old
saying, and a true one, that there is
nothing new under the sun and I am
somewhat inclined now to be of that
opinion also, for Just as I would be con-
gratulating myself on having found or
lioard of something new, along comes
one of the eld boys and tells me that
this same method has been followed in
years gone by. After a few of these
disappointments 1 made up my mind to
give you such facts as I have gathered
in my researches. If they contain any-
thing new, so much the better; if they
are old they may bring back pleasant
recollections to some of us, and renew
the scenes of our youthful battles.

Owe Much to Hybridists.

When starting to review the newer
phases of rose culture it will be appro-
j)riate to start with the beginning of
the rose plant. By this I do not mean
the cutting, or scion, which, of course,
is no new plant but simply a perpetu-
ation of a branch of the original plant.

I mean the product of the hybridist's
art. The skill, care and untiring energy
which these gentlemen have brought to
bear oh this branch of the business has
been of infinite benefit to the craft,
inasmuch as we now have a larger field
from which to choose our varieties; I
may also add that we have finer and
more suitable varieties to choose from,
l)ecause thege varieties have been raised,
having in view their suitability for
forcing purposes.

These gentlemen deserve the thanks of
all growers, and among a host of other
workers our worthy president and E. G.
Hill, who have recently given us two such
valuable varieties as Wellesley and
Richmond, deserve our especial thanks.
Devoting very little time to this branch
of the business, I am unable to give you
any new pointers, and if our hybridists
have learned anything new they are hold-
ing it up for future use, or perhaps they
are only exercising that Scotch caution
recommended by the immortal Burns:
"Aye free aff hand your story tell.

When wi ' a bosom crony,
But still keep something to yoursel,

Ye scarcely tell to ony, "

The Ordinary Grower.

After having secured new varieties of
merit, the Avork of the ordinary grower
begins. In order to produce stock in
quantity and quality from these new
varieties is the condition now confronting
us so that we may be remunerated for
our skill and labor.

Profiting by the mistakes made in by-
gone years our disseminators do not now
force the life and constitution out of the
variety in order to secure large quanti-
ties of young stock for market, but,
rather, grow it on a year or two longer,
studying its character and peculiarities
and paying especial regard to maintain-
ing and improving its constitution, so
that now when a variety is disseminated
we have every confidence that it will re-
spond to ordinary cultural methods when
due regard is taken of any peculiar
habits or traits it may possess.

The time-honored method of perpetu-
ating varieties by cuttings is still almost
universally in practice and, when soil is
suitable, some varieties of stock so propa-
gated saicceod well. This subject has
called for a good deal of experiment and
discussion of late years and I think it is
conceded by most growers that where

the soil is of a loamy nature, most vari-
eties at present in cultivation under
glass succeed equally as well, if not bet-
ter, than grafted stock. Where tlie soil
is of a poor quality, requiring large sup-
plies of liquid or other food, it stands
to reason that plants grafted on Manetti
or other stocks possessing an abundance
of fine feeding roots, can absorb and use
it to more advantage than own root
stock.

Propagating By Grafting.

Propagatijig by grafting being prac-
tically new in this country as applied
to stock under glass, there is a better
field for advance and improvement, both
as regards the variety and class of stock
to be used, the style of graft, quality,
size of scion and after treatment.

Within the past few years I have seen
many improvements in this method of
propagation, because, instead of being
only copyists, we are doing our own
thinking, and when we have to think for
ourselves we are just as certain to im-
prove as that the sun will rise in the
east.

Most of the establishments which prac-
tice grafting in quantities are equipped
with neat and sensible cases in which to
care for the young stock until it is
fit to be placed on the bench and this I
consider the most essential element to
success. That grafted stock is being
used more freely year by year is certain
and this very fact proves that we are
moving along the right lines, but be-
fore we drop our root stock entirely,
we should first satisfy ourselves by ex-
periment that our soil and varieties are
best adapted to grafted stock, as indis-
criminate jilanting of grafted stock ir-
respective of quality of soil iuu\ other
oonditif>ns uiny not alwtiys Vic n success.

Best Bench for Roses.

The most suitalilo kind of a licnch for
rose culture has also been a much dis-
cussed ijuestion and this discussion has
led to many real and economic improve-
ments. There is a wide difference be-
tween the old lumber bench of twenty
years ayo. with the everlasting repairs
which kept it company, and the neat and
indestructible iron and tile benches of
the ]ire«ent day. Even in the matter of
solid licnches for those Avho still have a
favor for them there is a decided im-
provement. Bringing as we do our ex-

perience of the i)ast and our scientific
knowledge regarding aeration and drain-
ago of. soil into our service, we are able
to build benches better suited to the re-
(juirements of the stock.

In respect to planting we cannot say
we have made any great advances in re-
cent years, the same general principles
applying as formerly. Some few years
ago we imagined we were on the verge
of discovering something new regarding
watering and the theory of sub-irriga-
tion was given an impartial trial by
many of our expert growers, only to be
relegated after a time to "the realms
of innocuous desuetude. ' ' Other schemes,
automatic and otherwise, have been ad-
vocated and tried, but so far as the rose
is concerned we have to depend on the
accurate judgment of the man with the
quick eye and the deft hand for our suc-
cess.

Soil Chemistry.

Our studies in plant and soil chemistry
are every year bringing us nearer per-
fection in cultural methods, particularly
as regards the quality of food required
by the plants in confinement under our
care, where we have to attend to their
every want and supply it at the proper
time. It is encouraging and a gratifying
augury to find so many of our young
brethren devoting themselves to the at-
tainment of knowledge on a scientific
basis. They are sure of their reward.

In our battles with our insect and
parasitic enemies we have been ably sup-
ported and advised by some of the best
entomologists and professors of horti-
culture who have supplied us with the
life histories of nearly all insects and
parasites injurious to our crops and the
most effective means of exterminating
them or keeping them in check. Our
thanks are especially due to Prof. Byron
D. Halstead for the much needed advice
and information he has given us on these
subjects.

Most Radical Advancement.

During the past decade our most radi-
cal advancement has been in horticul-
tural construction and heating systems as
applied to the same. Not so many years
ago when we thought of building we
had ourselves to be architect and builder,
plan and lay down our own heating .sys-
tem and be general utility man. We
have now jirofessional arcliitects vying

with each other as to who will produce
the most economic, shadelass and hand-
some buildings, suited to our wants, with
heating systems and ventilating appara-
tus, which are simply perfection when
compared to our buildings and appliances
of twenty years ago. When we compare
the handsome, lofty, almost shadeless
:'.iid well ventilated structures of the pres-
ent with the low-walled, heavy-raftered,
hand-ventilated building of twenty or
twenty-five years ago we must wonder
how it was possible for the growers of
those days to produce such excellent
stock as they did. We also have the ad-
vantage of high-class educational trade
papers, in the columns of which we can
in a friendly way discuss questions per-
taining to the ])rofession and which I
consider can with justice, lay claim to
the credit of aiding us very materially in
our progress.

Much Done By Society.

Last but not least we have the society
which through the energetic efforts of
its officers has done much to make the
rose popular, to gather and disseminate
knowledge as to cultural methods, con-
trol of pests, etc., and to foster that
Itrotherly feeling among the craft, where
friendly discussions of our many inter-
ests must of necessity be of the greatest
importance and lead to advancement.

So that with the advanced methods
and our past experience to guide us and
the knowledge science has placed at our
command and the faculties we enjoy in
improved construction, perfect ventilating
machinery, excellent heating systems and
our advanced scientific knowledge, the
outlook for the rose grower is of a rosier
hue than it has ever been in the history
of American floriculture.

THE MAIL ORDER TRADE.

[A paper by I'. J. Lynch, West Grove. Pa.,
rend before tlie Auieriiuu Uose Society iit
Boston, March T.i, I'.XIG.]

In considering the scope to which I
should confine the subject, 1 have taken
it for granted that to keep within the
propaganda of tliis society i must speak
Avith special reference to the rose as a
mail order commodity, yet the subject,
"The Mail Order Trade," in plants,
has been touched upon so little by any
of our national societies;, I shall, there-
fore, treat it somewhat broadly.

We have no governmental statistics
to give an idea of the magnitude of the
present mail order trade in plants, i
doubt if very many of us realize the
great work being done in this branch of
our industry, a work whose power to
advance the material groAvth and wel-
fare of floriculture has been, and is,
perhaps, the greatest factor in our pres-
ent unparalleled prosperity. Your mail
order man is the pioneer and pathfinder
of the craft that has carried to the
remote parts of the country the gospel
of loving flowers, especially roses, and
how to get and grow them. He has
been, in a measure, the educator of the
masses, many of whom are not in close
touch with the large centers of popula-
tion where the rose as grown for cut
flowers can make its own appeal. He
has been a. factor in beautifying the
waste places of our land, and it is
my thought that the great work in which
we are engaged has but commenced.
Each year this great government of ours
continues to improve the efficiency of
the mail service, so that today there is
not a post-office in any part of the union
where rose plants cannot be delivered
with entire safety.

Parcels Post System.

When the time shall come that cor-
porate greed will not stand in the way

Great Britain, and no measure that we
can oppose, if I am not digressing from
the subject, is so detrimental to the in-
terests of the mail order trade as this
absurd free distribution of seeds by the
United States government.

The mail order man is not a young-
ster. He has been around quite a long
while. In 1869 the firm with which 1
am connected published an advertise-
ment in the New York Tribune offering
to send to any post-office in the United
States fresh, live, growing plants, on
their own roots, and guaranteed the safe
arrival. This proposition evidently was
taken as a good joke, for we got no
orders from it. Since those days mar-
velous advances have been made.
Throughout the land there are to my
direct knowledge 105 mail order estab-
lishments, comprising millions of feet
of glass, devoted exclusively to sending
plants, roses principally, by mail. For
catalogues and advertising alone I esti-
mate that there is spent annually $1,-
500,000. Some of these catalogues are
gems of the printers' art, and as a
rule they are sent free to customers
and to all others who ask for them.
Through liberal advertising in the na-
tional weekly and monthly publications
the public is kept advised that your
mail order man is ready with the goods.
Ft has been said, but I believe face-
tiously, that our descriptions of the
wares we have to off'er are occasionally
too seductive, but I am sure, however,
the sincerity of purpose cannot be ques-
tioned.

Must Be Enthusiasts.

To be successful we must be enthu-
siasts, and in figuring the expense of
printing these catalogues and advertis-
ing them appropriately your mail order
man must have his nerve with him, be-
cause the proposition calls for sums of
money in this department of publicity

of the needs of the people we shall have
a parcels post system that will mean
more to the business interests of the
country than any contemplated legisla-
tion that I know of at this time. No
measure that we can endorse will so ad-
vance the mutual interests of both buyer
and seller as the enactment of a parcels
post system similar to that in vogue in

that is almost akin to the salary of the
president of a modern life insurance
company.

First of all, having grown his stock,
the next move is to determine how much
will be safe to invest in selling it. 1
am told that the gentlemen who con-
struct the modern greenhouses of today
are diligent in the prosecution of their

business; that to intimate that one in-
tends to build means a busy time with
our genial solicitor, but if you have
never been in contact with the gentle-
men who solicit for our large printing
houses there is in store for you an expe-
rience that will add much to the zest of
living.

Having, we shall assume, survived this
strenuous preliminary of placing the
printing contract, the work of prepar-
ing copy for the printer means weeks,
and in many instances months of care-
ful, painstaking labor. The material
for each department is collated from
time to time throughout the year, the
space it is to occupy is determined upon,
then the material is carefully edited and
made to fit into the allotted space, all
of which requires an outlay of energy
that would be almost impossible in the
short space of time given to the work,
unless these details were not carefully
systematized.

Postage a Serious Item.

At all times it must be kept in mind
that the matter of postage upon big
editions is a very serious item and where
the weight exceeds the estimated weight
even by the smallest fraction .of an
ounce, one cent is thereby added, the
rate being one cent for every two ounces
or fractional part thereof. Having fin-
ished the catalogue, they are mailed to
the most distant states at the most
seasonable times, that the suggestion
produced by the arrival of the catalogue
will not be lost through unfavorable
weather conditions.

In the rose trade the period of activity
is confined from January 15 to June 1.
Orders must be handled with great skill
and dispatch, and it is not uncommon in
our large establishments during the busy
days to fill an order a minute.

It will be seen that the average mail
order man has no extended periods of
relaxation, for having placed his adver-
tising campaign in operation he is called
upon almost immediately to see to it
that the promises and conditions he has
set forth in his literature are made good,
therefore, as a rule, he assumes personal
supervision of the order department. He
must of necessity know the business thor-
oughly, and must ever be upon the alert
to secure the very latest and most meri-
torious varieties and it is here that his
acquaintance with geographical condi-
tions must serve him in good stead, for
a rose that succeeds admirably in New
Orleans will not bring satisfaction to
the planter in Boston, and as all parts
of the country must be served, the mail
order man is keenly alert to test the
merits of every new rose introduced.
He must ever keep in mihd that to ad-
vance his business he must first satisfy
the public.

Must Study Human Nature.

The mail order trade has developed
AvoiiderfuUy Avithin the last ten years
and I am firmly convinced that it is
but in its infancy. The study of human
nature enters largely into its success or
failure. It must be realized that to sell
goods to, let us say, a quarter of a mil-
lion different individuals through the
medium of printers' ink requires on the
part of the mail order man, first of all,
honesty of purpose and forceful and at-
tractive descriptions, such as will beget
the confidence of the average buyer.

This business is largely cash, which
speaks volumes for the confidence in
which this class of florists is held, when

we realise that the flower buyers of the
country intrust to their keeping annu-
ally certainly not less than $5,000,000,
and this before a dollar 's worth of goods
is delivered.

The time is here when closer affilia-
tion between the mail order trade and
those engaged in forcing roses for the
market will redound to the advantage
and welfare of this society.

Bight here I would like to say that
our co-operation in bringing before the
public new American roses may be
counted upon and I would encourage our
growers to greater efforts in this de-
partment of work. The catalogue man
always wants new and meritorious va-
rieties. Heretofore he has depended
very largely upon Europe for new roses
and in the majority of instances these
new varieties from abroad have not
adapted themselves to our climate. The
demand is here, and if by concentrated
encouragement given new candidates for
favor we increase the list of really meri-
torious roses, we are advancing, if I am
not mistaken, one of the cardinal prin-
ciples of this organization. It is to be
deplored that many of us assume a harsh
attitude toward the majority of our new
American roses. It must be borne in
mind that there is a vast difference in
results to be expected from the grower
of a new rose who has but a limited
quantity of plants to work from and the
grower who has thousands of plants
from which he may select a dozen exhi-
bition blooms.

Rugged Varieties Needed.

I might add, also, that there is an
almost unlimited field for free-blooming
roses that will withstdSid the rigors of
our northern winters, so, while we are
ever ready to welcome more Golden
Gates, Richmonds, Queen Beatrices, Tom
Fields and Miss Kate Moultons, let me
urge you to keep in mind the needs of
the mail order trade for hardy, rugged,
free-blooming roses, adapted to the cold-
est parts of the country. In this class
there have been few additions within
recent years. There is a great field open
for the hybridization of roses based for
their constitution upon such classes as
hybrid perpetuals and rugosas, the
"Wichuraiana seedlings, which are such a
notable feature of this exhibition, and
if our American hybridizers will work
along these lines, the results will best
suit the peculiarities of our varying cli-
mate and I am confident that it will be
but a comparatively short time until we
shall take our places as leaders in the
production of new and useful roses.

SOLUBLE FERTILIZERS.

[A paper by D. M. Pray read before the
American Rose Society, at Boston, March 23,
1906.]

About three-quarters of a century ago
a great deal of the mystery of chemistry
was cleared away by the discovery . that
a certain chemical substance (urea)
could be made in the chemist's labora-
tory. Up to that time it has been sup-
posed that this and similar substances
could be made in one way only, by ob-
scure processes within the living animal.
The fact that such substances could be
made from dead things, as it were, and
yet be an exact counterpart of those
eliminated from living animals caused a
profound revolution of thought. Since
that time such progress has been made
that today we all but make living things
from inanimate matter by "chemicals,"
if you will.

Early Water Culture.

It seems to me that a similar office for
horticulture has been performed by those
who, fifty years ago, first brought plants
to maturity without soil, by the so-called
' ' water-culture. ' '

In this method, after the seed Avas
sprouted and when it had a few roots,
it was supported upright by a split cork
or a convenient holder over water into
which its roots hung, which contained
minute amounts of plant foods in solu-
tion. In this way buckwheat, corn and
oats were brought to maturity. This
method of growing plants eliminates the
soil, thus simplifying the whole question
of essential and non-essential root-foods
in plant life.

The essentials were found to be seven
elementary substances, nitrogen, phos-
phorus, potash, lime, chlorine, iron and
sulphur, and the non-essentials are soda,
magnesium, silica and many others. Of
the essentials only nitrogen, potash, phos-
phorus and lime need concern us, as there
is usually enough of chlorine, iron and
sulphur in most soils. Lime is found in
sufficient amounts in many soils, but is
sometimes added to "sweeten" the soil;
i. e., to correct acidity, which may be
caused by excessive moisture or acid fer-
tilizers. As a matter of fact, we are
concerned mainly with the three remain-
ing essentials of plant life, absorbed
through the roots, nitrogen, phosphorous
and potash, for these are needed in large
amounts and must be supplied continu-
ously to the plant. A fertilizer having
these three ingredients is termed ' ' com-
plete. ' '

>Jot only have these facts been learned
from " water-eulture, " but also that ex-
tremely small amounts of food, even two
parts in 1,000, will abundantly sustain
active life. To bear this out we could men-
tion orchids which are fed daily with
very dilute solutions whenever watered,
and occasionally with a complete soluble
fertilizer called "Cookson's Formula"
from its originator. This chemical has
demonstrated its value for years and is
commonly used one part in 10,000 parts
of water; note the extreme dilution.

Source of Root Foods.

As a source of nitrogen, blood, tank-
age, guano, all sorts of animal manures,
and various commercial fertilizers are
iised: Soluble sources, nitrate of soda,
liquid ammonia and ammonium salts, as
ammonium sulphate and phosphate. For
rose culture stable or cow manure is
often used, and sometimes nitrate of
soda, of which we shall speak later.
Green manuring is sometimes used.
I For phosphates the animal manures
i are largely used, also bone, whose phos-
I phate of lime is very slowly given up,
I in fact, even bone meal requires years to
obtain its full value. Super-phosphates
are much used out-of-doors, but not
much under glass, and not being soluble
are not adapted to use in watering. None
of these above mentioned are soluble or
at once available. In certain stages of
plant life the energy of the plant seems
directed into the channels of blossoms
rather than foliage. At this time phos-
phates and potash are demanded much
more than nitrogen. The chemical,

phosphate of potash, has fifty per cent
phosphoric acid and thirty-three per cent
of potash, and dissolves in water. Such
feeding should give the needed incen-
tive for blooming, and support well the
blooms.

For potash we have the animal man-
ures from which it can be obtained quite
easily, and wood ashes. As chemicals
there are the sulphate, muriate and car-
bonate. These chemicals are used out-
of-doors mostly but indoors there are
often serious objections to their use.

First Commercial Fertilizers.

About a generation ago commercial
fertilizers came into use. They were
more portable and durable than animal
manures, and answer for farming, being
composed of insoluble materials, as
blood, gro'und or dissolved bone, tankage,
and usually with some cheap soluble
chemical of the list already mentioned.
They are not satisfactory for rose cul-
ture even outside. Their variable com-
position, insolubility for tank use, often
harmful ingredients, and low food value
render them undesirable for bench work.
Averaging perhaps fifteen per cent total
plant foods, with three-quarters useless
filler, they yet mark a distinct step

For this purpose manure tanks of wood
or concrete are much used and the ma-
nure is dumped into the water, and gen-
erally strained before going into the wa-
tering system. This simple method gets
much of the potash out, but a great deal
of the valuable nitrogen and the phos-
phates must stay behind, not being dis-
solved in water.

An important question to every grow-
er using such tanks is, * * How much plant
food is there in my tank water?" A
chemical analysis will be of some use,
but such an analysis must be made often.
As ordinary stable manure may be con-
sidered to have ten pounds of nitrogen
and potash each, and less than seven
pounds of phosphates per ton, and so
much labor is involved, the actual cost
of this plant food is much greater than
is expected by the grower. While these
figures are general they give an idea of
some value as to what may be expected.
By poor treatment one-half the nitrogen
may be lost, thus losing one-third of
the value of the whole. If no urine is
present it has only half the value of
one composed of both solid and liquid
ingredients. Exposure may have leached
much of the value of the manure away
without the knowledge of the grower.

(President of Die Florists' Club at Hartford and a Judge at Boston.)

towards an ideal soluble fertilizer, and
away from the old disagreeable manures.
Eose soil under glass is often mixed
with bone and dung (with the latter 's
numerous living retinue) and sometimes
with lime. But to grow large, fine roses
and many of them resort must be had
to feeding, especially in the height of the
season. While top dressing can be done
by hand, the use of the watering equip-
ment to apply soluble food is of great
advantage and is fast coming into use.

To get one pound of plant food for 100
pounds of manure put into the tank is
almost beyond hope.

Value of Soluble Fertilizers,

We wish to point out the great value
of soluble fertilizers in tank water.
Without repeated chemical analysis next
to nothing is known of the water except
by the appearance of plants days after-
wards, and even if everything goes swim-
mingly it is doubtful if the same treat-

ment could be duplicated. Even with
chemical analysis the situation is only a
little clearer, for liquid manure water
is not available at once, and much de-
pends upon the soil, the condition of
which we are not always certain. By the
use of soluble fertilizers the amount of
food applied to any one bench can be
known to a dot. For example, we wish
to water benches with 100 gallons of
water, and two pounds of food. We put
the food in a bucket, see that it is com-
pletely dissolved, then throw it into the
tank. To save time and bother we have
made out a little card board schedule
with parallel columns showing respect-
tively depths in inches in the tank, gal-
ons of water, and finally figures show-
ing in pounds and ounces the proper
amounts of plant foods to use for va-
rious purposes. Or soluble fertilizers
may be used in conjunction with the
usual manure water.

A measuring stick vrith light scores
made at convenient distances is useful
in ascertaining the exact amount of
liquid in the tank. If the tank has a
dead space so that liquid always remains
here a blank space should be on this
measuring stick, and in this way too
much fertilizer for the amount of water
will not be added. The grower knows
exactly what he is doing, which is rather
a new thing. We think that while many
growers would like to use soluble fer-
tilizers more or less they do not know
just how to begin with absolute safety.
They must first have some clear idea
of what they are now doing before they
•can expect to duplicate plant foods with
an immediately available fertilizer. They
should consult with chemists interested
in soluble fertilizers who could mate-
rially assist them. In this connection
we think the government and various ex-
periment stations have done much, and
their publications are of value to the rose
grower.

A word about nitrate of soda. We
often hear of too much being used and
consider that one pound in 100 gallons
is a very strong feed. We think that
one pound in 250 gallons, which is about
one part in 2,000, will do for a starter.

Sweetening With Lime.

In the use of lime in tanks -for sweet-
ening it is well to bear in mind that
never more than two pounds per 100 gal-
lons will dissolve. If a creamy mixture
of lime and water is desired that is a
different thing, and its composition de-
pends largely on the character of the
lime. ,

We have said that the ordinary com-
mercial fertilizer is a step toward the
ideal one, but it lacks soluble ingredients,
and often has harmful ones, and has but
small amounts of plant food. An ideal
"soluble fertilizer" should be entirely
soluble, entirely available, non-acid,
pleasant to use, of proper balance, not
expensive, and as concentrated with as
little bulk as possible. Such are manu-
factured today, having sixty per cent
plant foods (the highest possible
amount) with no injurious igredients nor
any useless ones. In short, we may con-
sider these pretty nearly a perfect solu-
ble fertilizer.

As time goes on and we have more
definite information concerning the im-
mediate needs of plant life, we have no
doubt that the soluble fertilizer will be
up-to-date. Owing to the lack of ap-
preciation of their very high percentages
of plant fo"bds and their purity from

■eheap and often injurious ingredients,
their price may appear high at first
glance, but calculating their units of
fioluble plant food they compare favor-
^ly in price, especially with so-called
natural fertilizers.

After all is said and done the balfl
fact remains that the only food that is
of any use to the plant roots is a soluble
fertilizer.

RETAILERS AND NEW ROSES.

[A paper by George Asmus, Chicago, read be-
fore the American Rose Society at Boston,
March 23, 1906.]

The reader is enthusiastic on any sub-
ject in floriculture, whereby the exchang-
ing of ideas is possible; and with that
view firmly established at a very early
age became a member of our noble
Society of American Florists and Orna-
mental Horticulturists. I have become
affiliated with local florists* clubs, flower
shews and two of the great offspring
of the S. A. F., namely, the American
Eose and Carnation Societies. With that
feeling predominant I accepted the in-
vitation to read this paper before this
honorable body, to express the views I
have upon this subject.

To handle my subject briefly and
clearly I have reduced the retailers' part
in the introduction of new roses into
what I shall term eight reasons, as fol-
lows :

First — He should become acquainted
with as many new roses as possible.

Second — He should acquaint himself
with the flowering habits of new roses.

Third — He should display new varie-
ties prominently in show windows and
store.

Fourth — He should arrange with com-
mission men or growers for regular sup-
ply of new varieties.

Fifth — He should learn the parentage
or source of new varieties.

Sixth — He should interest himself in
naming of new varieties.

Seventh — He should devote part of
his time to horticultural societies and
local florists' clubs to relate experience
with new varieties.

Eighth — He should be one of a set of
judges and his essays more frequent.

Buyers of Educated Class.

I will now endeavor to answer the
first of above reasons why the retailer
should become acquainted with new va-
rieties. The American flower buyers are
principally composed of the educated
classes who are desirous of knowledge;
more so when pertaining to anything
new. I will cite one incident that oc-
curred during my stay here at the recent
American Carnation Society's meeting,
one that struck me very forcibly.

With several others, I was visiting one
of the prominent florists of this city,
when a lady entered, evidently a cus-
tomer, who had availed herself of the
opportunity to visit the beautiful dis-
play of carnations staged in this build-
ing by America's best growers. She
had with her a bloom of a new carna-
tion, and being deeply interested in it
wanted to know more about the flower,
but contrary to her expectations none of
the clerical force was able to give her
the desired information. Luckily one
of our party overheard the conversation
and delighted the lady with the knowl-
edge she had troubled herself to secure.

This led me to inquire how many of
the sessions the three florists in that par-
ticular store had attended. I was sur-

George Asmus.

prised to hear that neither one had been
to the Horticultural hall at all; and was
more surprised when -asked by one of
the clerks (who professed fifteen years'
experience), "What kind of a show have
they got any way?" This to me, who
had traveled 1,000 miles, was a revela-
tion 1 Had he availed himself of the
opportunity to become better posted on
new varieties by attending the meeting
he would have been able to creditably
answer the lady's questions.

Retailers Need Ambition.

Surely our art is one to be proud of,
and this hall this evening ought to be
packed with local retailers filled with
ambition and pride in their calling. The
press of the whole country is evidently
awakening to the great desire of the
public on anything pertaining to horti-
culture; and we are on the eve of a
great and prosperous future. Therefore
it behooves the retailer as the great
medium, he who meets the buyer direct,
to acquaint himself with the new roses
and distribute that information truly
and accurately to his trade.

* My second reason is : Why the retailer
should acquaint himself with the flower-
ing habits of new roses, because the
flowering habits regulate the supply and
the supply very often the price. He
would also know when to expect the
largest cut and thus be able to obtain
blossoms in quantity for all occasions, as,
for instance, a regular purchaser of a
certain variety intends to entertain, and
wants to know if she can obtain her
favorite roses for that date. The confi-

dence of the person would be strength-
ened by immediate knowledge.

Should Display New Varieties.

Eegarding my third reason: Why the
retailer should display prominently new
varieties; this is very important and
bears more than ordinary interest to
his business. As 1 said before, the pub-
lic is constantly looking for something
new, and it is a fact also that people
who are undecided as to the nature of
the article they intend to purchase are
often attracted by a particularly fine
vase of new roses or anything new in
our line, thereby causing many sales
that would not otherwise have been
made. Therefore, if it is the good for-
tune of the retailer to have at his dis-
posal the crop of some grower who has
spent his time and skill and has blessed
floriculture with the fruits of his labor,
the retailer should do his part, and I
will venture to say that if he made a
proper display and made an effort to
secure the information for which he is
constantly besieged, he would begin to
understand why his business was so dull.

I saw displayed by a prominent florist
in a very large window a vase of Cath-
erine Mermet, at that time being new,
and to the right and left not quite so
prominently, its two sports, Bride and
Bridesmaid. Making inquiries about re-
sults, I found that by being so adver-
tised, many sales were made, owing to
proper display. This goes to show that
very often we have cooped up in our
ice boxes novelties that should be con-
tinually before the public.

[A p:ipcr by Gooigi' Asiuus, Cliiciigu, reud bc-
foii' till' Aiiierican Itodo Society ut Uostoii,
March l':j, 1906.]

The reader is enthusiastic on any sub-
ject in floriculture, whereby the exchang-
ing of ideas is possible; and with that
view firmly established at a very early
age became a member of our noble
Society of American Florists ami Orna-
mental Horticulturists. 1 have become
affiliated with local florists' clubs, flower
shows and two of the great offspring
of the S. A. F., namely, the American
Eose and Carnation Societies. With that
feeling predominant I accepted the in-
vitation to read this paper before this
honorable body, to express the views I
have ui)on this subject.

To handle my subject briefly and
clearly 1 have reduced the retailers' part
in the introduction of new roses into
what I shall term eight reasons, as fol-
lows :

I'irst — He should become acquainted
with as many new roses as possible.

Second — He should acquaint himself
with the flowering habits of new roses.

Third — He should display new varie-
ties prominently in show windows and
store.

Fourth — He shouhl arrange with com-
mission men or growers for regular sup-
ply of new varieties.

Fifth. — He should learn the parentage
or source of new \;nie1ies.

Sixth — He should interest himself iu
naming of new varieties.

Seventli — He should devote part of
his time to horticultural societies and
local florists' clubs to .relate experience
with new varieties.

Eighth — He should be one of a set of
judges tiud his essays more frc'iuent.

Buyers of Educated Class.

rieties. The Atneiicaii (lower buyers are

Regular Supplies.

Keason the fourth: Why the retailer
should arrange for a regular Bvipply of
new roses, particularly varieties he dis-
plays. This was brought to my personal
attention during our flower show last
fall, when, as manager, I was on the
lookout for material that the press
would use if we were to expect help to
promote our interests in the local pa-
pers. One of our growers had a new
rose which he intended naming and, as
he had had some unsatisfactory expe-
rience in the past owing to names given
to roses, he was very desirous of get-
ting the right name for this particular
variety and finally decided upon naming
it after the bride of one of Chicago's
prominent business men. The press
immediately took hold of this subject
and gave it much prominence by display-
ing cuts of the rose and the lady it
was named after, also mentioning the
grower and publishing information given
by him.

Previous to this press talk a few re-
tailers in our city had this same rose
in stock in such quantities as were avail-
able; but reports did not show that there
was a notable demand for it. Now, how-
ever, note the change! The statement
of the manager of the establishment
where the rose was grown was that
from thirty to forty telephone calls a
day was a moderate estimate, to say
nothing of the calls at the local retail
stores by people wishing to know where
the rose could be seen and purchased.

Naturally there was a scarcity owing
to the demand, also owing to the usual
methods employed by the grower in se-
curing all the wood available for cut-

Advertising Value of New Rose*

It would be well to state here the
worth of new roses as an advertising
medium for flower shows. This was
brought home to me very forcibly at
our show where I established a bureau
of information, clerks in charge being
overrun with inquiries regarding the
location of new varieties advertised.

As to reason five, Why the retailer
should learn the parentage or source of
new varieties: Because it pertains to
his business. When talking with the
trade the impression left by the knowl-
edge of new varieties cannot help but
do good. Very often people are glad
to receive such information and do not
hesitate to tell others; at the same time
it adds to the prestige of the party giv-
ing the information. It is also a help
in properly displaying new varieties and
correctly informing the public. The
choicest vase of roses can be given 100
per cent more publicity in the window
by simple and truthful description.

Naming New Varieties.

Reason six: Why the retailer should
interest himself in the naming of new
varieties. The grower should deliberate
very carefully before naming a new
rose. While undoubtedly it is a great
pleasure to name a rose after a dear
friend or a member of one's own family
it is not very often the practical way.
For after all we are merchants who are
fortunate to have one of the Creator's
beauties to deal with.

If flower buyers would rather purchase
the Alice Roosevelt rose than the same
rose named Uncle John or Uncle Bill,
let us give them what they want and

tings as soon as he found out he had a
winner. The retailer would be apt to
think that the variety has been exter-
minated were it not for the glittering
advertisements in the trade papers. I
sometimes think there are growers who
do not sleep nights but go prowling
around with a lantern in their green-
houses looking for new cuttings; there-
fore the retailers had better arrange for
a regular supply of new roses before ad-
vertising too strongly. A regular supply
of any item is needed if a trade is to
be worked up.

reap the benefit. It never hurt the beau-
tiful carnation Peter Fisher originated
when he named it after Boston's illus-
trious son's wife, Mrs. Thomas W. Law-
son, and nothing could be more appro-
priate than the name American Beauty
for that grand flower. When E. G. Hill
changed the name of his beautiful red
rose from Aetna to Richmond he knew
there was something in a name.

Value of a Name.

An incident comes to my mind during
my visit to New York last month. While

strolling along Fifth avenue I saw quite
a throng of people stop and adinire three
vases of roses prominently displayed in
a show case in front of one of New
York 's large flower stores. My cu-
riosity being aroused I investigated and
found the beautiful Richmond rose
adorned with a small placard announcing
same as the Mme. Sembrich, Uncle
John as Mme. Fames; and still another
rose the variety of which I was ignorant,
as Mme. Melba. That being grand opera
week I was informed by the exhibitor
that they could insure the sale of many
more roses by tricking the public. I
myself do not approve of that scheme;
far the reverse, and I did not hesitate
to tell my informant so. But here was
food for thought. If it was of so much
value to name "the rose Mme. Fames, or
whatever the name might be, to iiicrease
the sales, M'hy should not the retailer
who meets the purchaser and knows the
value of a name be consulted and his
advice listened to?

Time for Club Meetings.

Reason seven, Why he should devote
part of his time to horticultural societies
and local florists' clubs to relate expe-
riences with new varieties: My answer
to other reasons covers this somewhat.
But the fact of the good derived from
rubbing elbows with all branches of our
business was brought home to me dur-
ing a recent visit to Dayton, 0. While
taking lunch at the ofiicers' club on the
National Cash Register Co. 's grounds,
where the heads of different departments
lunch and spend the noon hour, I noted
that the greater purport of the conversa-
tion was upon their work. I was in-
formed that some of the brightest ideas
originate in that recreative hour. Thus
it should be at our club meetings. The
retail employer should see that his help
belongs to local organizations, and there,
if anywhere, the rose grower is sure to
bring his new variety. Discussions on
the merits of the same might take place
and the grower could get such informa-
tion as he may need and wish. It wants
the closer affiliation of the grower and
retailer to help both in their business.

• Popularity of Mme. Chatenay.

It was at one of these meetings in
our city that a Chicago grower displayed
a vase of the Mme. Abel Chatenay in
first-class condition. The rose had been
partly condemned by some of the re-
tailers who had not seen it at its best.
The roses so impressed one of our prom-
inent retailers at that meeting, and he
was so interested, that his purchases and
the demand he caused no doubt was re-
sponsible for part of the great popu-
larity of this rose in our city.

Reason eight. Why the retailer should
be one of a set of judges and his essays
more frequent: By so doing he would
come in touch with the local dealer and
get his ideas on his wants in the way
of supplies for certain seasons and the
colors mostly desired. It seems to me,
also, that essays would be one of the
ways his ideas could be ventilated. By
making him one of a set of judges the
commercial view of the new roses could
be better had.

I will now close, trusting that I have
conveyed to you clearly my views on
the retailers' part in the introduction of
new roses.

OLD-FASHIONED BOUQUETS.

We are required, almost in spite of
ourselves, to make old-fashioned bouquets
for favors, prizes, etc., these days, and
since do it we must, let the product
be somewhat modernized. A bunch of
violets with a border of Avhite carna-
tions, finished with a smart chiffon bow
close under the flowers and spread out
flat after the style of a bouquet holder
or frilled around, is barely admissible.
The best that can be said about a rose
bobbing up through the center of a
bunch of violets is that it is saucy and
cute.

Blue and white is called for once in
a while and is difficult to supply in
flowers, cinerarias and Dutch hyacinths
being about the only available material
at this season. For centerpieces or bas-
ket work use the plants in among the
cut flowers. A blue cineraria or Dutch
hyacinth finds an excellent setting in a
group of narcissi, white or yellow.

To help out the lack of blue flowers
have in stock some blue ribbon and bas-
kets. The adjustable kind for table
decoration can be had in a soft blue.
Fill with lily of the valley and adiantum.
Under the baskets on the table stretch
a band of sash ribbon to match the bas-
ket, and embroider the ends with a few
sprays of valley scattered among, not on
top of, some of the adiantum.

Lasting Centerpieces.

One often has calls for a centerpiece
which will last for two affairs, and, to
present as good an appearance the
second day as the first, should be made
of plants. A pink and green piece con-
tained a large pan of light pink Dutch
hyacinths for a center and adiantum
plants removed from the pots banked
around and tipped • perceptibly towards
the outside edge. An ordinary wire cen-
terpiece was used, lined with two plies

of foil inside and covered on the out-
side with another thickness to prevent
any scratching of a polished table.
Sphagnum was packed closely around
the plants to hold in place. Adiantums
were tipped far enough out to allow the
lower fronds to rest upon the table. Any
spots between the plants showing
sphagnum were covered with common
ferns laid flat and well sprinkled. If
gleams of tin foil appear among the
green, run a thin string of smilax
around the edge under the fern fronds.

Gertrude Blair.

THE IDEAL SALESMAN.

[All essay by Anna G. Sawyer, with J. M.
Sniely, Aurora, 111., submitted In the recent
prize competition.]

There is scarcely a business opening
today that does not present an over-
crowded condition to young people
launching out in life. In view of this
fact, there is only one way to be master
of the situation, that is to be master of
your profession, be ideal. If one plans
to be a stenographer, a teacher, a phar-
macy clerk or architect, he says to him-
self: "That means a college education,
but if I take that job up at the florist's,
why, I can sell carnations and geraniums
without any training!"

This common opinion is decidedly a
narrow view of the broad scope of use-
fulness which comes within the range of
the ideal salesman or saleswoman, the one
who can prove his or her invaluable
worth to the employer. The mere quot-
ing of prices, the cut short "yes" and
"no," "haven't got them," "out of
season," are too often evidences of the
untrained and unskilled clerk. One must
be thoroughly grounded in good business
principles and must have a thorough
knowledge of mankind in general in or-
der to meet the customers' varied fancies

and * ' notions ' ' with perfect courtesy and
business tact.

In the first place, one should have served
out his apprenticeship, learning the de-
tails of the business * ' from A to Z "
in a model establishment, where strict
rules of promptness and economy, neat-
ness and order are practiced until they
become infallible traits by force of habit.
Cultivate the taste for floral arrange-
ment and practice it at every oppor-
tunity. Meantime a business course
must come in, if it has to be taken
nights, for a knowledge of commercial
law and bookkeeping is bound to prove
helpful. Regarding the relations be-
tween the employer and his ideal helper,
there should be in the first place, confi-
• deiK-e, which means on the one hand re-
spect, and on the other, the trust of your
employer that no matter what the case
may be, in his presence or absence, you
will spare no effort to give his customers
as well as himself, fair, square dealing.

It is to be hoped that the employer
has learned that it does not pay, in fact
is a poor investment, to require excess
of work or too long hours, both of which
unfit you for enthusiastic and high grade
work, in which you can be a credit both
to your employer and yourself.

There should be a concise understand-
ing of your duties and obligations, of
the time schedule and overpay for over
hours. Varying circumstances must alter
the conditions in different situations,
but the more definite the rules can be, the
less likely to create friction which may
end in serious trouble. In cases of mis-
understanding' rather talk the matter
over with the employer than allow a
wrong to smoulder into bitterness. Culti-
vate the happy faculty of getting on
with everyone about you. Remember you
have your own peculiarities, so don 't
criticise them in others. Re the peace-
maker, rather than the fault-finder — it's
much pleasanter and quite as easy if you
will just fall into the habit.

I trust no one will impute egotism
to our sex if I assert that a lady may
prove her excellent worth in the flower
store. The most important features of
the work appeal strongly to her natural
souse of the beautiful and artistic, while
she has the patience and devotion to
work out the thing in hand to its per-
fection. A bit of style, a dainty touch
iicre and there, give evidence of her prea-

fooil for thoiigiit. Jf it was of so much

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

March 29, 1909.

ence. However, this natural trait counts
for little unless there comes with it
knowledge and understanding of plants
and flowers. Your high school course in
botany should prove a good foundation
for intelligent reading and investigation
along the line of commercial plants. Es-
pecially should you be informed as to
the care of palms and ferns and all house
and bedding plants, in order to answer
the daily queries of your customers.
Make it your aim not only to give defi-
nite and practical suggestions regarding
their keeping but leave the impression
that you are entrusting to their care a
cherished plant, a spark of sacred life,
not to be neglected and starved for want
of water and sunshine and a shower
bath. A dying plant discourages the
buyer and reflects upon the florist.

Be a constant reader of the trade pa-
pers that you may keep in touch with
the supply and demand, may anticipate
each flower in its season and be able to
suggest it to the perplexed customer
trying to plan for a coming decoration.
"Why, we shall have pond lilies for you
by next week and they would do finely
arranged in the hanging vases with
Sprengeri sprays. Yes? How many
dozen, please?"

Another point with your customer — by
all means be resourceful. Pardon a
personal reference, but I recall an in-
stance when, in hopeless February, by
scurrying around under benches and in
neglected corners, I found some clover
blossoms and a dandelion for an artist
which secured for my employer a new
and very profitable customer.

Again, if they know not what they
want, suggest that which you need to
sell — for we handle perishable goods. If
they know what they want, and you are
out, be convincing that you have some-
thing better, a prettier shade, a stronger
stem, less common, or more lasting.

In taking orders for funeral flowers,
you will try to find out about the price
the party had in mind and work up from
that with the assurance that the higher
the price the better pleased they wiU be
with your efforts. Break away from the
ordinary, by novel touches — try the soft
green of a Mme. Salleroi plant in the
base of a wreath of pink roses; or a
groundwork of Alternanthera aurea for
a blending background for white roses;
use a cluster of wolf-berries in season.
Large bouquets of red cannas and white
roses with leaves of cypress and with a
few Piersoni fronds, are striking and
showy. Suggest as a gift to a young
mother and babe, a basket of the Baby
Eambler rose with maidenhair ferns and
full clusters of baby ribbon caught on
the handle and among the ferns.

A tasteful and attractive window is one
of the everyday requisites; it should
be the herald to every passerby of each
flower and plant in its season. Espe-
cially for all holidays should your win-
dow be in its unique glory. In house
and dinner decorations you have large
opportunity to exert your wits and in-
genuity. Strive to be as original and
clever in executing your decoration as
is McCutcheon in his drawings. Keep a
note book and add hints and ideas to it
daily, from your reading and observa-
tion, and it will be found very suggestive
when the call comes. Search the woods
for their native greens and flowers and
make use of their wild beauty, which too
often fades unseen.

Keep in as close touch as possible
with all customers and many of them
will become your friends and feel from
past experience that they are unable to
carry out the "function" without your
timely assistance. On the subject of
flowers you have a right to be an enthusi-
ast; it is your hobby — no one has a bet-
ter.

CARNATION NOTES.-WEST.

Care of Young Stock.

During the past few weeks we have
had ideal weather for propagating, cold
and cloudy, and those cuttings you put
in late last month ought to have rooted
fine, or at least be past the dangerous
point. They will make fine stock and if
handled properly until they have taken
hold in the pots they will in many cases
prove more satisfactory than the earlier
ones. When potting them be sure you
shade them close for a few days, espe-
cially if the sun is shining. The sun is
getting quite strong now and a few
hours of it on a cutting that has no
root hold will wilt it beyond recupera-
tion. I have also repeatedly cautioned
you against draughts, and I want to
reiterate that nothing will ruin a young
cutting quicker. So be sure to drop your
curtain and cover them as soon as you
open the ventilators. This covering will
be found much more effective than
spraying.

Cutting the Blooms.

Your blooming plants, too, will call
for a little extra attention on account
of the stronger sunlight. During the
winter months you can cut your blooms
at your convenience or as they are
needed, allowing them to develop on the
plants to the stage at which you want
to use them. Now, however, you can
not do this. Not only must they be cut
early in the morning or late in the after-
noon, but most varieties should not be
exposed to a day's hot sun after they
have unfolded their petals. The white
varieties, of course, are excepted, as they
will only get whiter, but Mrs. Lawson
bleaches badly and should be picked in
the morning and every bloom that has
its petals unfolded should be picked.
Enchantress, too, should be kept picked
close and should be picked in the morn-
ing. If you pick them close in the morn-
ing there will be no need of picking
any in the evening. The morning is the
best time to gather them, anyway, be-
cause most of the unfolding is done in
the early morning hours and at that time
the blooms are crisp and fresh and will

begin drawing water as soon as placed
in water.

Put in Deep Vases.

Both of the above varieties will de-
velop fine in water even if picked when
only half open. Most varieties will do
the same, but a few will not, so be on
the safe side and pick when the petals
are unfolded. Place them in vases that
are deep enough to hold them up straight.
If the stems are strong they need not
be very deep, but if the stems are not
strong enough to hold the blooms up
straight you can use a contrivance we
sometimes use here to good advantage.
Make a wire ring just large enough to
fit into the bottom of your vase and
another one about eighteen inches across.
Run three tolerably heavy and strong
wires about eighteen to twenty-one
inches long from the one to the other.
Set this in your vase and let the blooms
rest against the upper wire. Your stems
should be strong enough not to need
this, but that does not say that they
always are, and occasionally we do find
it necessary to use this contrivance.

Shading.

Some growers put a light shade on
the glass to prevent this bleaching on
bright days. While it accomplishes the
result desired, yet I do not approve of it
for other reasons. During March and
April the plants make what we usually
term their spring growth, which is very
rank when the soil has not been allowed
to become exhausted. Unless the plants
have plenty of sunlight, and, in fact,
the full sun, this growth is very apt to
be soft, and when hot weather comes
the plants become exhausted much
quicker than they will if given the full
sun and the growth is more matured.
Of course if you are ready to throw your
plants out in May it will make Uttle
difference whether they are exhausted or
not, and if a little shade will help your
crop now, by all means apply it. Many
of us, however, cut a good crop through
June and early July at a good profit,
and it pays, us to keep up our carna-
tions until asters arrive.

If you apply any shade, be sure it is
light; just enough to break the strength
of the sun is all you want and it will
not take much for that. There will
come days at a time when you will wish
you did not have any on at all.

Mr. Osborn covered the subject of
topping the young plants well in a re-
cent article, and I need not add any-
thing to it, except that I never consid-
ered it necessary to use a knife iiv the
operation. If you want to use a knife^
well and good; it will do no harm, but
I have always held that when the stem
will snap off as easily and as clean as
carnations do a knife is not necessary.
It should be a clean break, however,
without leaving any bruise or tear and
the best time to do it is on a cloudy day.

Time to Repot.

I will say, too, that if you potted up
early cuttings in small pots in January
or early February now is the time to
repot them into 2Vi>-inch or 3-inch pots,
according to what they are in now.
Don't let appearances deceive you. They
may look fine and thrifty now and that
is all the more reason why you want
to keep them so. If you dump one
out of the pot you will find the ball
a mass of roots. Next month when warm
weather sets in they will dry out rapidly
and the plants will become stunted if

that happens repeatedly, and it will
happen in spite of your resolutions to
prevent. The only way to prevent it is
to repot them and thereby not only keep
the plants in good condition but at the
same time add to their strength and size-
Don 't forget that these are your next
season 's stock. A. F. J. Baur.

THE LOUISE NAIJMANN.

We take pleasure in writing in refer-
ence to the Louise Naumann carnation.
It is one that G. M. Naumann, of Cleve-
land, introduced and we think it one of
the best commercial bloomers on the
market today, as it is very free and
never bursts and grows on very strong,
wiry stems that hold the flower well. It
can be planted 9x9 inches and be run
very cool, around 45 degrees to 48 de-
grees. More heat won't hurt it. It is
the greatest carnation for wear and tear
we ever saw. When we purchased stock
from the originator we formed an opin-
ion as to what it was going to be and
are glad to say it has proven fine. The
size is about three inches or so and the
color about like Joost and beautifully
fringed and we think it will be quite a
few days before a carnation will come
and pass this for a payer.

BOSTON MARKET.

We should like to have an opinion of
the Boston Market carnation for grow-
ers who produce a general stock for re-
tail trade. L. N. B.

There is considerable difference of
opinion about the merits of Carnation
Boston Market. We have grown it for
three years and have steadily increased
the area of bench space devoted to Bos-
ton Market. It is not of largest size
and would stand no show against Lady
Bountiful at an exhibition of cut blooms,
but its good qualities are that it is one
of the very earliest of bloomers. It has
yielded up to date this season as many
blooms per plant as Lawson. It is free
of all disease and is a great keeper.
It is not a variety that will pay for or
needs any special treatment. We have
found the middle of August the best
time to lift it from the field. From the
first of April to midsummer it will run
away in production from almost any
carnation we grow. Altogether we con-
sider it a first-class variety, especially
for those who do not consider them-
selves experts or specialists. W. S.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOQETY.

President-elect John H. Dunlop, of
Toronto, Ont., has so aroused the enthu-
siasm of the inhabitants and officials of
his city that every obstacle that might
prove an inconvenience to the members
and exhibitors who will attqnd the meet-
ing next January in Toronto has been
removed and there will be less trouble in
getting stock to this show than in the
larger cities of the United States.

Anything now that bears the stamp of
this society goes through without any
delay, and it is a safe prediction to say
that when it comes to the week of the
meeting stock will be rushed through
from Suspension Bridge to the exhibition
hall with a dispatch and care that will
make the people on this side want all of
our meetings held in Toronto.

A. M. Herr, Sec'y.

Caladium Esculentum.

Since the great popularity of sub-
tropical gardening, which is so suitable
for our summer climate, especially where
water can be supplied in abundance, the
big green leaves of Caladium esculentum
are most useful. It is such a strong
rooting plant that it should be sparingly
used in window boxes or vases, for it
will rob everything that grows near it.
It is now time to start it.

If the bulbs are potted in soil in 5-inch
or 6-inch pots, they are slow to start and
take up necessary room. Make a mix-
ture of rotten manure, sand and loam,
or any compost that is light and friable,
and with this fill flats of three inches
depth. Squeeze the bulbs in half their
depth and place the flats over the hot-
water pipes. In a very few days every
bulb will have sent out an abundance of
roots, as well as started to make leaf
growth, and then when put into 5-inch
or 6-inch pots and kept continually light
and warm you will have robust plants
that will not blow into shreds or burn up
with the sun.

It is a coarse, easily grown plant, but
the demand increases every year and,
although by size of, plant when sold,
the price seems cheap, they occupy the
benches but a very short time and there-
fore are profitable.

Economy of Bench Space.

This is a point of great importance.
How long does a crop occupy a bench?
Take the chrysanthemum, which, under
the most skilful and successful manage-
ment, gives only a small net return, yet
not occupying much room until June,
and again disappearing by the end of
November. The benches are filled up
immediately with lilies, azaleas and
other spring flowering crops. Now if
the showy mum did not flower until
March or April, it would be very certain
that the fewer you grew the better you
would be off. The rose and carnation
occupy the benches the entire year and
with an interval of a few months there
should be a continuous income.

The profits of your houses depend en-
tirely on how quickly one crop succeeds
another, or on how short a time the
benches are occupied. Every square foot
must return a profit. If not, it surely
diminishes the profit of another that
would be profitable. 1 can well remem-
ber, twenty years ago, that we became
nervous or fretty, and if there were
twenty lineal feet of bench room empty
I thought we were facing disaster.

The present thouglit is i^ot about a
bench actually vacant, but are they filled
profitably? Have you had a certain crop
unnecessarily long on the benches? Are
there not many things that will for a
while take a back seat and remain only
a short time on the most favorable place?
All this is the very essence of good gar-
dening.

We can't all be in the same line of
business, and some branches may be
more profitable and easy than others;

yet I notice that the expert managers of
flowering plants for the different sea-
sons, such as W. K. Harris, of Philadel-
phia, or Wm. Edgar, of Boston, are just
as prosperous as the specialists on roses
or carnations, however expert they may
be.

Managing Mixed Collections.

There in one thing sure. To manage
a mixed collection of plants for a certain
date and have them right for the market
in the best of shape and condition needs
much more ability, thought and labor
than the growing of roses or carnations.
Less thought and labor may appeal to
some as an advantage. The plantsman
of varied experience and success must
exercise his intellect far more than the
specialist, who, once he has mastered
his specialty, finds a sameness and
monotony growing over him. It appears
to me that, although you may never
grow physically an eighth of an inch
after maturity — in fact, the reverse — the
brain goes on developing long after the
physical man stops. Brain exercise,
therefore, is needed, and if it is not re-
ceived through a useful and healthy
channel it will turn to frivolity and vice.
Certain it is, our large flower factories
are turning out dozens of young men
who have had experience in roses and
carnations, who think they are perfect
in their specialties, yet how few there
are who feel capable of growing and
managing a place where plants in their
season must be produced.

I have purposely wandered away from
the original subject, economy of space,
and I wish to impress upon you, young
man, that he who can handle crop after
crop on his benches throughout the year
will be the successful man.

Renaissance of the Tuberose.

We will now return to practical gar-
dening. The sweet tuberose has for
years been under a cloud. We all know
why. Thirty years ago it was used to
excess in all kinds of funeral designs,
and when the tide turned susceptible
people pretended to hate the sweet blos-
som and said its odor reminded them of
a corpse. We are no judge of that,
having no experience with the latter only
in the shape of a cat or rat.

Wo shall always remember C. W.
Ward 's famous dead cat which passed
from this wicked world because too much
hydrocyanic acid gas was in the house,
but Mr. Ward blamed the resulting odor
on the use of punk for fumigating. The
real cause of this feline's demise was a
broken heart at seeing its owner spend
so much money on sub-watering. Al-
though the cat was a martyr to the ex-
plorations of science, Mr. Ward survives
and is a splendid example of a man who
is willing to spend his money that others
may profit by it. We glory in his
acliievod success.

Like other plants of which 1 have
lately written, much space can be saved,
also time, by placing the tuberose bulbe
in flats of an inch of light loam and old

hotbed manure, with two inches of sand
over it. You can place the bulbs quite
thickly, about two-thirds their depth.
If placed a few inches above some mild
hot-water pipes they will soon start, and
must then be potted off singly.

We have considerable demand in May
for tuberoses for the mixed border. For
this we pot the bulbs from the flats into
4-inch pots and plunge in a mild hotbed
or a light, warm house. About the first
of June they are planted out in the
open ground.

If grown for cutting, a 4-inch pot is
scarcely large enough. They deserve
5-inch, or better still, can be planted
out on a bench in four or five inches of
fresh loam. I suppose in warmer regions
the mature bulbs can be planted out and
fine spikes result. We have always lived
too near the north pole to know of this
experience.

America, or more correctly, the United
States of America, is the great pro-
ducing country of the tuberose. We can
remember well when British seedsmen
always sent to Italy for them, and it
was more fuss and trouble to procure a
hundred tuberose bulbs than it would
be nowadays to get a baby chimpanzee
from the Congo valley or an essay on
astronomy from one of the learned in-
habitants of Mars.

Sowing Sweet Peas.

Where frost and snow have passed
away and the ground can be ploughed
or dug, the very first job out of doors is
to sow sweet peas. Make the trench
deep and broad and sow thinly. You
need not at once fill in the trench full.
Future hoeing will do that. The ground
cannot be too rich for sweet peas. There
would be little gained by sowing any of
the early, winter-flowering kinds out-
doors. Blanche Burpee, Emily Hender-
son, Countess of Radnor, Lovely, Cath-
erine Tracy, or any of the good old
standard varieties will do.

We are asked every spring at the bed-
ding season for clumps of sweet peas,
and the only way to fill the order is
to dig up clumps from the rows sown in
the garden. Last year we sowed sev-
eral hundred 4-inch pots with a dozen
seed?[ in each, and found use for them
to fill these orders, and charged as much
for them as for 4-inch geraniums and at
a greater profit. The middle of April
is early enough to sow in the north.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

There is some talk of a society being
formed in Scotland similar to the Koyal
Horticultural Society of England, with
headquarters at Edinburgh. It is right-
ly asserted by the leading horticultural
authorities of Scotland that the once

magnificent exhibitions of hoticultural
productions do not now pay in Scotland.
Something in the way of a society
planned on the lines of the R. H. S. is
required to revive interest in flowers and
fruit culture. It will probably surprise
our friends in America to learn that the
Royal Horticultural Society has now
reached a membership of nearly 10,000,
and that it has a reserve fund of about
£16,000.

prices. Much money must have been
lost. In many cases the plants, after
having been imported, potted, housed
and grown and forced into bloom, are
not realizing the actual first cost of
the plants on the continent. It is prob-
able orders for the importations of
azaleas will be cut down very consider-
ably by the English nurserymen the com-
ing season.

Dutch daffodils and tulips have been
doing well on the market lately, a great
improvement having taken place in
prices. The last week or so both articles
have been making sufficient to leave a
good profit for the grower, which is very
different to what they did at the begin-
ning and towards the middle of the
season.

Chrysanthemums during the past au-
tumn and winter have been a profitable
line, the blooms selling well throughout
the season. The mild autumn and win-
ter gave an excellent chance of getting
the bloom and growth well matured,
and in fine condition for housing, and

nearly all growers are well pleased with
the results. Considerable damage was
done in some nurseries by early frosts,
one Lancashire grower estimating his
loss in a single night from frost at over
£500. At one time it looked as if the
chrysanthemum would be hopelessly over-
done. Probably larger quantities than
ever before were grown for last winter's
trade. In some districts they were
grown by the acre. Armind Nottingham
especially it was no uncommon sight to
see five or «tx acres together in one
nursery for lifting, blooming under
glass. Next season probably will be a
record for quantity grown, I never re-
member seeing so many plants for cut
blooms being propagated as there are
this spring. B. J.

HYDROCYANIC ACID GAS.

Nearly every owner of a greenhouse is
interested in fumigation with hydro-
cyanic acid gas and many hundreds are
experimenting in its use. It is necessary
in every case to determine with great
care the cubic contents of the house,
frame or box in which the fumigation is
to be made. The illustration shows cross
sections of two styles of greenhouse
structures now in general use. At the
left is an even-span house 12x100 feet,
two feet on the sides, anu five feet six
inches from the surface of the beds to
the ridge, with a walk fourteen inches
wide and fifteen inches aeep.

To determme accurately the number of
cubic feet in this or a house of similar
construction : First, make a rough draw-
ing showing a cross section Ox the house;
second, divide the space into triangles
and rectangles by drawing a line con-
necting the two wall plates ana one from
the ridge at right angles to this; mark
on each its respective length in feet and
inches. Compute the number of cubic
feet in each of the rectangles and tri-
angles in accordance witu the following
method :

In the even span house shown at the
left the number of cubic feet of space in
the walk is found by multiplying the
width by the depth by tne length, thus:
Multiply one foot two inches by one
foot three inches by 100 feet. Reducing
to inches we have fourteen inches multi-
plied by fifteen inches by 1,200 inches
equals 252,000 cubic inches; dividing
this result by 1,728, the number of cubic
inches contained in a cubic foot, we have
145.83 cubic feet. The rectangle A D G
F is computed in the same way, except
that in this case it is not necessary to
reduce the feet to inches. It would be
twelve feet multiplied oy two feeft by
100 feet equals 2,400 cuuic leet.

This brings us to the triangles. The
rule generally given for calculating the
area of a right-angle triangle is to mul-
tiply the base by the perpendicular and
divide the product by two. The result
multiplied by the length of the house
will give the number of cubic feet the
triangular portion contains. For ex-
ample, taking the triangle ACE; six
feet multiplied by three feet six inches,
equals twenty-one feet, divided by two
equals 10.5 feet, multiplied by 100 feet
equals 1,050 cubic feet. The area of the
triangle E C D and the cubic feet in this
part of the house are determined in the
same way; or, in this case, since the tri-
angles are equal, the desired result is
obtained by multiplying the number of
cubic feet in the triangle A C E by two;
1,050 multiplied by two equals 2,100
cubic feet. The contents of this house
is therefore 145.83 plus 2,400 plus 2,100

equals 4,645.83 cubic feet; this result
multiplied by the required dose per cubic
foot of space will give the amount of
cyanide of potassium necessary for one
''fumigation.

At the right of the illustration is a
cross section of a three-quarter span
house 18x100 feet, front wall four feet
four inches, back wall six feet four
inches, and eleven feet ten inches to the
ridge. The cubic contents of this house
is determined in the same manner, ex-
cept that the two triangles being un-
equal, each one will have to be calculated
separately. The house contains 15,050
cubic feet. It will thus be seen that the
cubic contents of a house or frame or
any style can be readily determined by
simply dividing a cross section of the
same into the necessary number of tri-
angles and rectangles and calculating as
demonstrated above.

After the number of cubic feet in the
space to be fumigated is aetermined, the
amount of cyanide required is found by
multiplying the cubic contents by the
dose per cuoic foot. For example, if
single violets are to be fumigated the
dose would be one-tenth of a gram per
cubic foot. A dose, therefore, for the
even span house, containing 4,646 cubic
feet would be 4,646 multiplied by .1
equals 464.6 grams. To reduce this to
ounces, divide the number of grams by
28.35, the number of grams in an ounce
avoirdupois. It is found that 464.6 di-
vided by 28.35 equals 16.38 ounces
avoirdupois. It may be necessary to re-
duce the fraction of ounces to grains;
437.5, the number of grains in an ounce,
multiplied by .38 equals 166 grains.

If double violets are to be fumigated
the cubic contents would be multiplied
by .15 thus: 4,646 multiplied by .15
equals 696.9 grams, dividea by 28.35
equals 24.58 ounces avoirdupois. Fifty-
eight one-hundredths ot an ounce equals
253 grains. In the case of a small space
of less than 150 cubic xeet the dose in
grams should first be detjrmined, and
this, if necessary, can be changed to
grains by multiplying the number of
grams by 15.43, grains m a gram, thus:
thirty cuuic feet multiplied by .15 gram
equals 4.5 grams, multiplied by 15.43
grains in a gram, equals 69.435 grains,
or approximately 69.5 grains. The reduc-
tion to ounces or grains will not be nec-
essary if metric weights are used, which
is strongly urged.

When the dose for certain plants in a
given house, frame or dox is once ob-

tained it should be carefully recordeu
on the house or box thtis:

Contents 1,015 cubic feet, dose for
ferns, .075 gram per cubic foot, equals
76.1 grams; lor violets, douu^e. at .15
gram per cubic foot, equals 152.25 grams.

If a scale weighing with avoirdupois
weights is used the dose o^ould be re-
corded in ounces and grains.

HENRY WEHRMAN'S PLACE.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph taken at the establishment
of Henry Wehrman, Maywood, 111. Car-
nations are the principal crop in the
two houses, but sweet peas are grown, a
few being marketed all winter, with a
good crop in the spring. Enchantress
is the principal variety of carnation this
season, but Genevieve Lord is still grown
here, for Mr. Wehrman has better suc-
cess with it than almost any grower for
the Chicago market. Each spring his
crop of Genevieve Lord is something for
other growers to marvel at.

Next door to Mr. Wehrman, the houses
showing slightly in the illustration, is the
new place of Wm. Collatz, built in 1905.
There are two long houses devoted to
carnations, the varieties being Enchan-
tress, Genevieve Lord, Lady Bountiful
and one or two others. Both growers
ship to E. C. Amling.

With the

Advertising Man

When you get right down to facts,
the real and only object of a retail
florists' "ad" is to sell goods — and
lots of them. Unless an " ad " does
thisj it goes wide of the mark.

While it is only human for a man to
like to see his name in print, can you
or any other retailer afford to pay good
solid cash for this sole purpose? 1
think not.

Then the question naturally arises,
what is an advertisement and how should
it be written in order to produce the
best results!

In the first place an "ad" is your
salesman and if properly written can
talk more convincingly and sell more
goods than any six men, no matter how
smooth or how skilful they may be.

An "ad" must say something; it
must speak for you, tell your auditors

what you have to sell and why they
should buy from you in preference to
anyone else. An " ad " that does all
these things will bring the prospective
customers into your store or greenhouse
with every confidence in the world that
they are going to get a square deal.
After that, it's up to you to hold your
customers.

Just the same as a truly successful
business man must have character and
individuality, so must your advertising
have all those sterling qualities; indi-
viduality, character, personality — in
order to make your advertising success-
ful.

The trouble with most advertising is
that it is too stiff. If you have some-
thing good, tell your readers about it,
no matter whether it is your flowers, way
of doing business, prompt delivery sys-
tem, or whatever it may be. Give them
plain, straight talk that you know they
will understand without effort.

Billy Van.

MAUVE FLOWERS.

Among flowers of mauve tint one of
the most useful for cutting is Scabiosa
Caucasica. The flowers are of a pretty
shade of color, and last well in a cut
state, and when cut as they open a suc-
cession is kept for a considerable time
longer than when they are left on the
plants. In raising seedlings some vari-
ations will be found, and by careful se-
lection improvements may be made which
can be propagated by division. One
grower in the south tells me that he has
a selected variety M-hich he has grown
for several years, and has found it very
profitable. It may not be wanted in
large quantities, yet there is now so
much demand for flowers of this shade
of color that when done well and packed
carefully they will make a fair price
and sell readily.

I believe many of our hardy flowers
i would command more attention and
I make better prices if more attention
i were paid to bunching and packing;
there is also a great advantage in mak-
ing careful selections from year to year.
Those who grow for market have the
advantage over others who retail plants,
and have customers wlio ahvays want to
select the best. I may add that althougD
this scabiosa will grow in pry soil, it
will pay to plant it in rich, h)Hmy, well
manured ground. — Horticultural Adver-
tiser.

P(iu;ils 4,()\T).S'.> ('ul)ie I'cet ; this result
miilti[)lied by the required dose per cubic
foot of space will give the amount of
cyanide of potassium necessary for one
fumigation.

At the riglit of the illustratiMii is a
cross section of a tlirec-ciuartcr sjian
house 18x100 feet, front wall four foot
four inches, back wall six feet, four
inches, and eleven feet ten inches to the
ridge. The cubic contents of this house
is determined in tiie same manner, ex-
cept that the two triangles being un-
equal, each one will have to bo calculated
separately. The house contains ]."»,orj()
cubic feet. It will thus be seen tiiat the
cubic contents of a house or frame; oi
any style can be readily deterniiued by
simply divHling a cross section of the
same into the necessary number of tri-
angles and rectangles and calculating as
demonstrated above.

After the number of cubic feet in the
space to be fumigated is determined, the
amount of cyanide required is found by
multiplying the cubic contents by the
dose j)or cunic foot. For example, if
single violets are to be fumigated the
dose would be one-tenth ot a gram i)er
cubic foot. A dose, tlierefore, for the
even sjian house, •■nnlaining J.tiKi cubic
feet would be 4. (J It; multipheil by .1
equals 4(il.(i grains. To reilnce this ti.
ounces, divide the number nf grams In-
28.35, the number of grams in an ounce
avoirdu[)ois. It is found thnt Ifil.G di-
vided by 28.35 equals lO.iJS ounces
avoirdupois. It may l)e nec(^ssary to re-
duce the fractinii of ounces t" grains;
437.5, the nuinlxn" of grains in .'iii ounce,
multiplied by .38 equals Iflti grains.

If double violets are to lie I'nmigated
the cubic contents woultl \,«' multiplied
by .15 thus: 4,G4G multiplied by .15
equals 6()(;.!> grams, (livi.len. !>■, 2S..'.-.

this, if necessary, can he ci.itiged id

thirty cuuic feet multiplied by .15 gram
equals 4.5 gram.«, multijilied by 15.4.".
grains in a grniu, equals (i!*.!.'^" grain*,
or approximately G9.5 grains. The reduc-

is strongly urged.

LYCHNIS SARTORL

This new lychnis was in bloom here
last year, says a correspondent from
Dumfries, Scotland, but I cannot find
any mention of it in my books of refer-
ence. It, however, came to me through
the medium of Max Leichtlin, of Baden
Baden, so that I believe it is correctly
named. It reminds one somewhat in ita
flowers of Lychnis diurna, but it has
narrower and more lanceolate leaves.
The flowers are of a somewhat similar
color of purple, but the inflated calyx
is more elongated. The blooms have
been about half an inch across, and the
whole plant is about nine inches high.
It will probably give larger flowers, and
be a little taller when planted in the
open ground; my specimen having been
grown in a pot and in a cold frame,
with plenty of air during the day. On
first opening the flowers droop, but
afterwards become almost horizontal,
and eventually quite erect. It is, I be-
lieve, a native of China, and although
likely to be viewed with interest by
many, it will not, I think, take a high
place as a garden plant, although by
another year it will show its true char-
acter better.

GRAND RAPIDS LETTUCE.

For the past two seasons we have ex-
perienced considerable trouble in getting
the seed of this variety to come up free-
ly. The seed seems to be fresh, though
not quite so plump and well filled as
we would like to see it, probably due
to improper ripening through unfavor-
able weather or some such cause. In
sowing lettuce we make a practice of
covering the seed to about its own depth
with soil and in former years have expe-
rienced no more trouble in getting Grand
Eapids up than other varieties, but the
only way we seem to have success with
it now is to sow it on top of the ground,
giving no more covering than the little
that IS washed over the seed when wa-
tered with a rather heavy hose. In this
way it germinates fairly well and, since
adopting this plan, we have experienced
little trouble in keeping up a supply,
but when covered the seed germinates
very slowly and quite a large percentage
never comes up.

We are coming to rely on Grand
Eapids as a standard variety more and
more every year. There was a time

when head lettuce was all the demand,
other kinds being taken only when head
lettuce could not be got; but now, the
tender quality of the Grand Bapids be-
ing recognized, it sells quite readily in
most markets and its freedom of growth
and freedom from disease makes it a very
profitable variety for the grower. It
is, in fact, the only variety that can be
grown with any certainty of success
where the crop has to be grown on
raised benches. Here, varieties of the
Boston Market type are sure to fall a
prey to leaf burn to a greater or less
extent.

We grew a variety known as Glass-
house for several years, finding it re-
sisted disease better than any of the
leading varieties, but it was tough in
texture and strong to the taste; hence
would not meet the demand when a first-
class article was called for. In the
more modern houses where the lettuce is
grown on the ground floor we experience
little trouble in growing the head va-
rieties. Deacon being our favorite. But
in the houses with raised benches we
grow Grand Eapids exclusively, and find
no trouble in selling it at a renumera-
tive price. W. S. Croydon.

MUSHROOMS.

In the Eeview for March 15, under
the heading * ' Mushrooms Under Glass, ' '
your correspondent, H. G. W., proposes
to convert some old and leaky green-
houses into mushroom houses by covering
the glass with muslin or cloth treated
with some waterproof solution. Tar pa-
per has been suggested as a substitute
for muslin. The use of tar paper in a
mushroom house has a serious draw-
back; it will materially retard if not
entirely check the development of the
spawn, which is most sensitive to all
antiseptics or disinfectants. A grower
of my acquaintance used tar paper in
the construction of the roof of his mush-
room house and found it impossible to
raise a crop in the row of beds next to
the tar paper.

The use of steam for heating will
enable the grower to supply to the dry
winter atmosphere the necessary amount
of moisture. By allowing a linuted quan-
tity of steam to escape in the house
he will be - able to prevent the rapid
evaporation of his beds without injur-
ing the crop by the direct application of
water. Geo. C. Lambert.

MECHANICAL WATERING.

Louis Wittbold, the inventor of the
Wittbold watering system for green-
houses, now has an improved and per-
fected watering machine which will in-
terest all greenhouse men. While all
have heard of watering machines, they
are by most growers deemed an impos-
sibility, and those who have dared to ex-
periment in that direction have received
little encouragement. Nevertheless, the
watering machine is now an assured suc-
cess. W. B. Davis & Co., of Aurora,
III., have taken the lead by putting the
improved Wittbold system in their en-
tire establishment of 50,000 square feet,
this probably being the first greenhouse
in the world watered exclusively by ma-
chines. The proprietors express them-
selves as entirely satisfied, stating that
the watering now done perfectly in
about one hour formerly required nine
hours. D.

The Carnation Number was fine. — M.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The market has been in a decidedly
Ibad way the past few days. Last week
there was nothing special doing, outside
of a few department store decorations
and some special sales. The forepart of
this week even these outlets were not
iivailable for the largely increased re-
.ceipts of stock and there have been ac-
cumulations in all departments. The
weather has been unfavorable to tran-
isient trade. The call for funeral work
has slackened and the wholesalers are
-confronted with the problem of working
•oflf big cuts with no demand.

The item which seems best to hold its
•own is American Beauty in the longer
;grades. There are great quantities of
short stock, hard to sell. Quality is ex-
.cellent. Tea roses are very fine, but the
receipts have increased so greatly that
prices are weak all along the line. Of
.course, the best grades hold their values
"best; it is the shorter stock that is hard
to move, but there is more choice stock
than the demand will take at quoted
rates. Bed roses are not so largely in
evidence.

The carnation market is at an even
weaker stage than a week ago. It is
.stated that clean-up sales have been
made as low as 5 cents a bunch where
•splits, stale stock and everything else
was taken. This is by no means a mar-
"ket value, however, for the depsirtment
store orders for special sales on Friday
-were shipped at around $15 per thou-
sand. On Tuesday of this week thou-
sand lots were quoted at $7.50. The

quality is excellent, but the accumulation
is still largely Mrs. Lawson, this variety
being received in some houses in greater
number than all other sorts combined.

Since Saturday noon, when buying
practically stopped, violets have been al-
most immovable. Of course a few small
and choice lots have been sold at regular
prices, but many thousands more than
the demand have been received and these
have sold as low as 10 cents per hun-
dred for the New York stock. The
Californias do a little better.

There is an abundance of bulbous
stock in all lines, but tulips are not in
so large receipt as earlier in the season.
There are many more callas than the
trade can use and the same is true of
short longiflorums. Keceipts of sweet
peas are on the increase and quality is
excellent.

Smilax is about the only scarce item.
There is an abundance of all other
greens.

Easter Prospects.

All thoughts are now centered on
Easter. The indications are that there
will be larger supplies of lilies than in
any previous year, but a large part of
the stock is known to be short in stem
and of very indifferent quality. At the
same time there is much stock of a qual-
ity to leave nothing to be desired. Ad-
vance quotations are on the basis of
$125 per thousand for choice stock. The
chances are that there will be a large
number of lilies which will be well sold
if they bring much less money.

The consensus of opinion is that there
will bo an abundant supply of roses and
carnations, but there is an occasional

dissenting voice. One or two growers
report their crops now at their height
and likely to be pretty well off by
April 12.

Prospects are that there will be a tre-
mendous quantity of violets and, with
the market in its present state, there is
doubt if prices will average as high as
last year.

Various Notes.

One of Vaughan & Sperry's out-of-
town customers is ordering his stock by
aerogram. The American DeForest
Wireless Telegraph does not reach many
towns, but the service is first-class and
the rates cheaper than by wire.

Kennicott Bros. Co. missed an order
for 5,000 carnations for shipment last
Friday; the letter did not reach them
until Saturday morning. The new Chi-
cago postoffice, which cost $6,000,000, is
having difficulty to handle the mails
promptly and there are many complaints
on this score.

Hild Bros., of Lake Forest, are send-
ing very fine stocks to McKellar. They
grow Beauty of Nice and several others
to perfection.

Bassett & Washburn are nursing their
chief engineer. He cautioned the fire-
man to look out for a big frozen mass
of coal at the top of the shed and then
stood there while it came down and
broke his leg in two places.

There is a report of the illness of
August Dressel, of Hammond.

It develops that one Michaels, well
known in the market as energetic in the
pursuit of crape, is a nephew of Mrs.
Netcher, owner of the Boston store.
He is to have a window there and what

The Geo. Wittbold Co. had a big dec-
oration for Stevens' last week, and this
week have big work on at Field's, Car-
Bon-Pirie's and Mandel's.

N. C. Moore & Co. have a nice lot of
lilies for Easter plant sales.

The Retailers' Association held its
regular meeting last Thursday evening.
The latest scheme of some of the mem-
bers is to induce the wholesalers to set
a minimum price for each day.

The J. B. Beamud Co., in view of the
short supplies of smilax, points with
pride to the filling last week of one or-
der for 650 strings.

Grace B. Hughes has been granted a
divorce from Leslie C, Hughes, who was
charged with cruelty. The greenhouses
at Ridgeway avenue and Douglas Park
boulevard have been conducted under the
name of Mrs. Hughes.

Joseph Pink, one of the veteran flo-
rists on the north side, wishes his son
Michael to take charge of his business,
and the latter therefore offers for sale
the Mulder place on Cottage Grove ave-
nue, which he bought a year or so ago.

W. W. Randall, of the A. L. Randall
Co., has returned from West Baden well
rested up for the Easter rush.

A. H. Budlong is very enthusiastic
over grafted roses. They have had good
success this year, but plan something
very much better for next season.

L. Coatsworth is very anxious for
good weather, to begin work on the
Benthey-Coatsworth Co. 's new houses at
New Castle.

At E, H. Hunt's they are very busy
shipping the season 's output of birch-
bark ware.

O. W. Frese, at Poehlmann 's, states
that their crops are now double what
they have been in the past fortnight.

The E. P. Winterson Co. reports very
good demand for Easter plants.

E. C. Amling says he is shipping smi-
lax to Philadelphia and equally far west.
It appears that crops are off very gen-
erally throughout the country.

Among last week's visitors were E. J.
Fancourt, of Pennock's, Philadelphia,
and C, S. Ford, also of Philadelphia.
Mr. Ford says that there are now thirty
men on the road in the United States
selling florists' supplies. Among those

in town this week are A. Siegel and his
partner, John Burke, from St. Louis.

Peter Reinberg is busy campaigning
this week. The election takes place next
Tuesday.

G. N. Garland, formerly a carnation
grower for George Reinberg, has gone t6
Washington, Pa., to become foreman for
J. H. Seaman & Co.

H. N. Bruns reports business good.
He will have a big cut for Easter and
expects also to dispose of many pots
and pans of valley.

The Foley Mfg. Co. has distributed
its new catalogue to the trade. It is
full of halftones from photographs of
the plants it has erected, and as an evi-
dence of the extent of territory covered
it is worth while noting that places in
Texas, Alabama, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Minnesota and Nebraska are
pictured.

Toronto, Ont. — John H, Dunlop says
that he finds the demand exceedingly
heavy this season for carnation rooted
cuttings; in fact, so heavy that he has
to buy to fill orders. Business is good
with him in all departments.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

We have been having a great deal of
snow and cloudy weather of late. This
did not help business, and complaint is
heard on all sides. About all the busi-
ness done the past week was funeral
work. The uptown florists, who do the
bulk of the work for the large social
events, say that if it were not for a
little funeral work business would be ex-
tremely dull. The down-town florists ai*
better off in this respect, as the counter
trade is worth a good deal.

The wholesalers have had a hard week
packing away the unsold stock each day,
for there has been a glut in almost all
lines, especially in roses and carnationa.
Prices have gone down almost to noth-
ing. Nearly all stock is of extra fine
quality and second grades go to the job
lot buyer at his own price, which is
often ridiculously low.

Sunday St. Patrick's day parade was
held, which was postponed from last
Sunday, and green carnations were again
seen in the florists ' windows. This made
quite a demand for white carnations on
Saturday and the price went up to $2
per hundred for extra good stock. All
other carnations could be bought for
from $5 to $10 per thousand.

Bulbous stock is not overplentiful,
not because the demand is good, but
most of the growers are either holding
back for Easter or are all cut out. "Val-
ley is about the only item in this line
that is plentiful. Enough violets are in
for the demand. The market has every-
thing it needs in greens.

Various Notes.

The Ellison Floral Co. will open its
new quarters this week in the Simmons
Hardware Co. *s store on Broadway.
They will have a large show window
facing Broadway.

Mrs. M. M. Ayers says she has had
plenty of business of all kinds, es-
pecially funeral work, so that Lent has
not made much difference to her so
far.

Frank Ellis, who should have been
back from Panama a week ago, writes
that he missed his ship and will not be
home much before April 1.

James Dunford, at Clayton, will have
a fine lot of Harrisii plants for Easter,
also other bulbous stodi in pots.

Beyer Bros, will be in fine shape for
Easter trade. A fine lot of Harrisii,
Dutch hyacinths and other blooming
plants is seen here.

C. Young & Sons Co. is very busy in
the seed and bulb department. J. Arata,
who has charge of the cut flower depart-
ment, says that trade has kept up well
during Lent.

J. F. Wilcox, of Council Bluffs, is
sending Ellis a nice lot of Beauties,
Brides and Maids.

Sanders, Beyer and Schray had quite
a busy week decorating down-town de-
partment stores for spring openings.

Claude Wisley, of Murphysboro, 111.,
was a caller the past week. Mr. Wisley
reports trade good and will build two
new houses this spring.

Fred C. Weber, Theo. Miller and Fred
Meinhardt seem to have fallen by the
way. The Monday night florist bowlers
say they have not been seen at the al-

leys since last November. Can it be that
Dr. Osier has a grip on themt This
venerable gentleman must also be hold-
ing down our old friends, C. C. Sanders,
Emil Schray, Robt. Beyer, Charles Juen-
gel and Frank Fillmore.

Nick Himmers reports that the five
new houses which he will put up this
summer will be 500 feet long and will
be planted to carnations. J. J. B.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Flowers have cleared out very well
during the past week, and business has
been satisfactory all round. The near
approach of Easter makes it unlikely
that any slump should occur unless the
weather should become warm and rush
stock in. The cold weather of late
seemed to brace up the market. It is
unlikely that such abnormally low read-
ings can continue much longer. As it
is, dealers are now guessing if much of
their Easter stock will be on time, and
considerable speculation on this score
is being indulged in.

Boses have not yet been too abundant
and hate cleared out well at former
week's prices. The same holds true of
carnations, quotations for which have
varied from $1.50 to $4 per hundred. On
violets prices have stiffened. Singles
are nearing the end except for cold
frame stock. Doubles, however, are
abundant; prices range from 50 cents,
75 cents and $1, some stock selling a
little cheaper.

Bulbous stock has cleared out very
well, good double tulips and white nar-

Various Notes.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
field day at the establishments of W. W.
Edgar Co. and Pierce Bros., March 31,
promises to be largely attended. It
should prove one of the most interest-
ing yet held. Tickets are out for the
club's banquet to be held at Horticul-
tural hall April 26. This will be the
biggest affair of the kind held in local
horticultural circles for years. The club
membership is now 292 and applications
now on hand will lift it to the 300 mark
next meeting. Among exhibits at the
last meeting was the old but rarely seen
Lathyrus pubescens, from W. J. Kea,
with pretty psJe violet flowers. This
makes a very desirable greenhouse
climber.

Visitors have been numerous this
week, owing to the rose convention. A
number of the prominent places were
taken in by the rose specialists while
here.

A. Herrington and W. Duckham were
unable to stay to the banquet. Mr.
Herrington had to go home and seek
medical advice, and we trust he is now
in better health.

The Market

)

The slight effect that Lent had on our
industry seems now to have about worn
off, as business is moving along at a
very encouraging pace. The demand for
all classes of stock is very good and
the wholesale houses are selling out
fairly clean every day. Thus the price
of all qualities of stock is holding up
very nicely. Several funerals of note
have helped along the demand. Spring
openings are also taking up a large

amount of the cheaper grades of blooms.
As a rule store openings have not used
as many flowers this year as formerly,
which altogether is a good thing, as I
do not believe that the giving away of
flowers on these occasions does the busi-
ness any good. In fact, if anything, it
does harm by cheapening the value of
flowers in the eyes of the flower buying
public.

The supply of stock in all lines has
been good and in most cases fully equal
to the demand. This is always a very
pleasant state of affairs, as all orders
can be filled with good stock. The ship-
ping trade has been very good for this
time of year and has been one of the
items to keep up the healthy tone of
the market. Bulbous flowers are espe-
cially good and are selling out. Even
the green goods supply has increased a
good deal and is about equal to the
demand.

The closeness of Easter is making us
begin to think what the supply of stock

is likely to be on that date. It is yet a
little early to state with any degree pf
certainty what the supply will be then..
So far as roses and carnations are con*
cerned, much depends on the weather.
In bulbous stock this market will be in'
fine shape. Easter lilies will be in large-
supply and of best quality. Cincinnati
is slowly coming to the front as a
wholesale cut flower market, but it*
slowness is characteristic of its sure-
ness. We will get there some day, and
when we do we will be there to stay^
Just keep an eye on that.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The real winter weather of the whole
season has been very much in evidence
during the past week. The tempera-
ture was caught hugging zero very
closely and up in the mountains it went
as low as 14 degrees below. Nothing
quite so unseasonable was ever known
by the oldest inhabitant of Twenty-
eighth street. It was a blue week for
business and it must have been the
weather that got so many wholesalers
"hors do combat." This week opens
with rain and milder weather and be-
fore its close doubtless the last sem-
blance of winter will vanish and before
Easter we will forget there ever was
an overstock of cold.

The market has gone to pieces. Hun-
dreds of the finest Beauties could be
bought Monday evening at $20 per
hundred. Everything else was suffer-
ing. All roses declined. Carnations,
the best of them, held around $2 and
$2.50 per hundred and soon down to $1.
Violets, the specials, went slowly at 30
cents and from that on down to 10
cents. Lilies, lilacs, smilax, all have
joined the procession, and yet, it is re-
called, last year at this time prices were
even lower — a condition of things
which invariably manifests itself for
two weeks before the Easter festival.
The last days of Lent are sad days.

Asking prices for Easter will not be
excessive. Growers may as well re-
frain completely from embalming their
surplus. Be advised in time and send
in everything you have to sell every
day. If you don't, you will regret it

always, for little consideration or re-
turn will anything yield that is not of
superior quality.

In the notes of a year ago Beauties
had fallen to $15, Maids to $6 and
the best violets to 25 cents per
hundred. Bulbous stock and mignonette
had forgotten the meaning of value
and were dragging the market down.
The usual warnings concerning pickled
stock were hung out and a good Easter
was predicted with reasonable prices.
If you remember the prophecy was ful-
filled.

It is early yet to predict prices ac-
curately, but one may venture to say
that Beauties may touch $1 each and
violets 50 cents per hundred. Plants
will be the great supply, as in the past
four or five years, and most of the re-
tailers have already made their pur-
chases. Another week and deliveries
will begin.

Plant stock is abundant and on the
average extra fine. All our growers
are well stocked but there will be none
too many to go around. There is noth-
ing new this season. Azaleas and Crim-
son Ramblers are very abundant. These
will be the popular things and the me-
dium size plants of each were all dis-
posed of weeks ago.

Various Notes.

Keed & Keller have a novelty which
they control, called the "Pluvius," an
automatic watering bulb which prom-
ises to be a great seller. It is a sim-
ple, practical, serviceable thing that
will prove a boon to plant lovers who
are forgetful.

The rose show at Boston was voted a

great success and far in advance of last
season. A. J. Guttman was the only
wholesaler from New York whose in-
terest in the exhibit was sufficient to
cause him to make the journey and he
was able to stay only a few hours on
account of a serious attack of the grip.

A. Warrendorf is opening a branch
retail store in Broadway, close to Forty-
second street, a splendid location near
Scallon's, where he will doubtless win
much transient patronage by artisti-
cally decorated windows, for which his
big store in Broadway, near Twenty-
eighth street, is noted.

Win. Plumb's office is at 1133 Broad-
way.

A week ago Mrs. Joseph Fenrich pre-
sented her husband with a partner for
the wholesale department of this "re-
liable house" and Joseph Fenrich, Jr.,
is here ready for business. April 5, a
year ago, Mr. and Mrs. Fenrich were re-
ceiving congratulations as they started
on their honeymoon. This is a rapid
city.

John J. Perkins offers a reward for
the return of his typewriting machine,
stolen from his office last Sunday.
Thieves came up through the cellar.
Mr. Perkins' son Robert will be oper-
ated on at Roosevelt hospital Thursday
of this week for heart displacement,
the heart being nearly four inches be-
yond its normal position. The opera-
tion is a serious one. Mr. Perkins, Jr..
has been ill for a long time.

James Coyle, with H. C. Froment,
has been very ill with grip for two
weeks and pneumonia was feared. He
is much reduced in weight and conva-
lesces slowly.

Charles Millang also has been bat-
tling with the grip and was laid up at
the Breslin hotel for a few d!iys. He is
still quite ill.

S. A. Anderson, of Buffalo, was in
the city last week and also visited the
plant growers. He was "laying up
treasures" for Easter.

Mrs. J. Friedlander is still hale and
hearty at 83 years and attends to the
interests of her store as keenly as if
she were but 38. She is a remarkable
lady and looks as if she could round
out her century with flying colors.

N. Lecakes & Co. have in storage
10,000,000 bronze and 5,000,000 green
galax leaves, a wonderful accumulation.
Mr. Lecakes has just purchased a nice
property for a country summer home
at Massapequa, L. I.

Julius Lang has added a plant de-
partment to his wholesale business,
with Mr. Kline in charge.

James McManus moves May 1 to his
new headquarters, 42 W. Twenty-eighth
street, and James Hart, the veteran,
who has spent a generation in West
Thirtieth street, moves to a fine large
store at 103 W. Twenty-eighth street,
directly opposite that of J. K. Allen
and the first door off Sixth avenue.
Centralization seems to be the watch-
word. It looks as if the first and sec-
ond floors of all Twenty-eighth street
ultimately would be in possession of
the wholesale florists of New York.

Warrendorf, of the Ansonia, has
charge of the extensive floral decora-
tions at one of the big dry goods stores
and gets $1,000 this week for the dis-
play.

David Clarke's Sons are about ready
for the Easter rush. Their show win-
dows contain about everything that
will be needed and are most artistically
arranged. Looks like Fred Lentz's
work. The firm had a big church and
house wedding on Monday. Jury duty
keeps one of the brothers busy at pres-
ent, so the usual dullness of these last
weeks is somewhat welcome.

Henry Siebrecht, Sr., is recovering
from a tussle with the grip, but noth-
ing succeeds in overcoming his indom-
itable will. He is one of the men who
believe in growing young and staying
so.

Jos. Leikens is growing fat and pros-
perous in Thirty-third street, near the
Waldorf, and has some of the bluest
blooded of the 400 among his patrons.
Mrs. Leikens still proves the ablest of
lieutenants and the rapidity of growth
into success of this house has been re-
markable.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Business last week was much better
than for the preceding week. Almost
everything was cleaned up at fair prices
and an increased cut in all lines has
made the growers feel better.

The quality of the roses and carna-
tions seen at the Cleveland Cut Flower
Co. 's establishment was never better,
and seeing the large quantities of flowers
moved daily by this firm leads one to

look back a few years and note the
difference in procuring stock to fill oiie's
orders. Now we telephone the entire
order in and the same is delivered at
our store in a remarkably short time.
In the good old days we hitched tip and
drove eight or ten miles and called on
as many growers as possible in order to
get enough stock to meet the demand.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

Conditions continue fair. A good
many flowers are sold at good prices,
some at poor prices, and some are not
sold at all. But the volume of business
is fully equal to the average at this sea-
son of the year, with indications that an
improvement will be here by the end of
the week. Violets, sweet peas, and
Golden Spur narcissus are selling well.
Beauties are lower in price. The qual-
ity is very fine. Gardenias are in over-
supply, the best long stemmed flowers
bringing only the listed prices. Kaiser-
ins have made their appearance. The
quality is exceptionally fine.

Philadelphia Beauties.

Last Thursday evening was a gala
occasion in this city. The Florists ' Club
entertained the wives and sweethearts of
the members with a reception, games
and refreshments. On the same evening,
a little band of Philadelphians journeyed
to Boston to the annual meeting of the
American Eose Society, where on the
following day they captured cups galore.
Briefly summarized, they took every-
thing in the shape of a Beauty prize,
bar one, that was offered, demonstrating
more conclusively than ever that Phila-
delphia produces the finest Beauties in
the country. To go into details, George
Burton captured the Lord & Bumham
cup and a first, with fifty Beauties.
Adolph Tarenwald captured the MacMul-
kin cup, with fifty Beauties, also the El-
liott with fifty Liberties, and the Penn
cup, with twenty-five Liberties. The
Floral Exchange captured first with
Queen of Edgely. J. Henry Bartram
was second in the ]Liord & Bumham
competition, with fifty exceptionally fine
Beauties.

nice condition; hyacinths and other

plants. Mr. Smith is a specialist with
Ficus elastica, which he grows in quan-
tity for orders. Boston ferns in all sizes
are a specialty here. He has discovered
a clever means of propagating which
greatly facilitates his work with these
plants. Carnations Vesper, Enchantress
and Fair Maid were vigorous and full of
bloom.

The Street is Starded.

The street is agitated by a strange
story, which if it be true will convulse
our floral world. It is that a combination
of growers has been formed so strong
that it comprises every shipper of note
supplying this market. That the com-
bination has secured a charter under the
laws of the commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania under the name of the Flower
Trust. That it has rented the basement
of the Eeading Terminal, now occupied
by Wyman's restaurant. That every
grower is under bond to send all his
product to the trust. That the Filbert
street side will be devoted to cut flowers,
the south side to plants. That the presi-
dent is a rose grower of national repute,
who has built and is operating three
ranges of glass; who owns other real
estate; who has been receiver for a large
concern and who is certain to achieve

next Saturday night and on the follow-
ing day tho place be made ready for
business on Monday.

Inquiry at the great wholesale houses
showed that the blow was as shattering
as it was unexpected. That the business
it had taken years to build up was to be
shattered in a moment, seemed hard,
very hard. It is odd, one of them said,
that the day set for this great change,
next Sunday, should be the first of April,
All Fool's Day.

A Good Grower.

L. J. Keuter, whose fine stock was
greatly admired here this winter, is
operating the greenhouses formerly run
by Samuel J. Bunting, of asparagus
fame. Mr. Renter is evidently a skilful
grower of roses and of carnations, his
Chatenays being exceptionally fine. All
his stock, both old and young, were in
excellent condition despite the trying
season we have experienced during the
past winter.

Various Notes.

Samuel S. Pennock speaks highly of
the American Rose Society's show at
Boston last week. He says that a vase
of the rose Mme. Abel Chatenay, grown
by the Exeter Rose Conservatories, of
Exeter, N. H., was easily the feature of

the whole show. The stems were as long
as those of Beauties, the flowers large
and well formed. He also admired the
Killarney shown by the Boston growers.

The Hugh Graham Co., with green-
houses at Logan, has been reorganized.
The members of the new company are
William Graham, John H. Bainbridge
and John A. Burroughs.

William J. Baker will handle the
fancy daffodils of the Hugh Graham
Co. These daffodils were a feature of
the market last Easter.

J. A. Smith, of the H. F. Michell
Co., has returned from a business trip
to Carlisle, York, Lancaster, and Har-
risburg. He states that the advance
orders for bulbs are fifty per cent ahead
of last season.

Godfrey Aschmann has a very fine
stock of Easter plants in the medium
sizes, most in demand for shipping
orders.

W. E. McKissick is receiving some fine
Golden Spur and Paper White narcissi.

Samuel S. Pennock is booking advance
orders for Easter plants. He has al-
ready sold out of ericas, which are scarce
this year.

Edward Reid has been shipping some
very choice stock to Florida this week.

Pennock Bros, had a luncheon at the
Bellevue-Stratford on Tuesday, where
they used 3,000 pink sweet peas. The
flowers, which were exceptionally fine,
on long stems, were furnished by Ed-
ward Reid.

Wm. J. Muth, manager of the Phila-
delphia Cut Flower Co.. states that they
are handling the original brand of
Adiantum Croweanum grown by Peter
Crowe, of Utica, N. Y.

TWIN QTIES.

The Market

Business the past week has been good
with all of the dealers and no trouble
has been experienced in getting stock.
The most of the dealers are carrying
heavy stocks and the dealers who do not
have greenhouses are the more fortunate
ones during the present time. Any-
thing in the way of roses and carna-
tions, also bulb stock, can be purchased
at a very small figure. While the mar-
ket is glutted, there lias been no cut
in prices to make mention of, outside
of the Greeks and department stores.
Some very fine carnations have been of-

fered by them for 35 cents per dozen.
Roses are retailing for $1.50 arid $2 per
dozen.

The cold, disagreeable weather of the
last few days has hurt business some,
and until the weather settles we do not
expect a big business. Easter plants
have begun to appear in some of the
stores, but they are those that have come
in a little ahead of the season. The
dealers who have no greenhouses have
commenced making the rounds and are
ordering their Easter supply of plants.

StPatiL

Christ Hansen is making preparations
to repair four of his houses, which will
improve his plant considerably.

Haugen & Swanson will have some
very nice violet plants for Easter. The
violets they have been cutting this sea-
son have been the finest in this section
and have sold readily.

Aug. S. Swanson has some very fine
bulb stock, but has hardly had enough
with which to supply the demand of his
two stores.

Holm & Olson are intending to build
as soon as the weather will permit.

L. L. May & Co. 's lilies never looked
better.

Minneapolis.

Donaldson's department store reports
a good trade and contemplates disposing
of considerable stock for Easter. Their

houses look good and have every ap-
pearances of having almost everything
in bloom for Easter. Although they
have a large range of houses, they have
not as yet been able to grow enough for
their large trade, and are compelled to
buy practically all of their carnations.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. is loaded
to the brim with Easter stock. It all
looks good and will undoubtedly be in
bloom. They have about 1,500 very fine
baby ramblers, which will sell on sight.

Patthey & Thompson are doing very
well, and like all dealers, are lookiing
forward toward supplying themselves
for Easter. Felix.

WASHINGTON.

The Market

There is little change in the condition
of business over that of a week ago.
The unusual wintry weather with snow-
falls has made disagreeable conditions
for shoppers. There is an abundance of
cut stock for all purposes, though no
glut of anything. The thoughts of the
retailers now go forward to Easter; the
probable supply of stock; the weather;
will the young man send his sweetheart
a bunch of violets or a box of candy?
In the aggregate these are matters of
importance to the trade.

an exhibit of his rose, Queen Beatrice,
for the rose show. Fine stock of this
rose can now be seen at his range, and
it looks as if it ia to be a stayer.

From an estimate submitted to Chair-
man Tawney of the house appropriation
committee by the postmaster general it
is learned that the seeds sent out under
the franks of congressmen annually cost
the post oflBce department about $35,000.
That is probably twice as much as they
are worth, and when packing and other
expenses are considered, it will be seen
that the people pay a pretty sum for
this antiquated little graft for the
farmers.

It does not appear, however, that there
is any great demand for free seeds from
the farmers. They accept and laugh at
them, and in some instances feed them
to the chickens.

Secretary Taft was the guest of honor
at a dinner at the new Willard hotel
March 20, given by the party that were
his guests on his late Philippine trip.
The decorations, executed by J. H.
Small & Sons, were original and beauti-
ful. On the table the Island of Luzon
was geographically represented and
"China" and "Japan" were in the
background, represented with scenery,
palms, flowering plants and models.

The most unique features were a
Philippine shack, or house, erected over
the table, and a model of the steamer
Manchuria moored at the wharf, the
guests entering the banquet hall over her
decks.

The walls were heavily garlanded with
smilax and a profusion of American
Beauty roses, carnations and other sea-
sonable flowers, transformed all into an
oriental bower. Scottt.

RALEIGH, N. C

Business has been exceptionally good
this season, but Lent is having its effect
now. We long to see the day when it
will not weigh so heavily on our busi-
ness. It seems that if people want to be
self-sacrificing, meek and good, a nice
vase of flowers would help out consider-
ably and make them better still.

We have the assurance of our con-
gressman that he will do what he can
to stop the free distribution of seed by
the government.

A SLEEPLESS PLANTSMAN.

Godfrey Aschmann, Philadelphia 'a
sleepless plantsman, is at present in the
midst of one of his busiest seasons. Mr.
Aschmann never permits his bench space
to become idle. He turns out more
crops per year than almost any grower
in the trade. Following the Christmas
business he moved in his Easter plants
and now has his place packed to the
limit with stock said to be in excellent
condition. Azaleas are his Easter spe-
cialty, but dozens of other blooming
plants are grown in great quantity. He
has connections in Belgium which have
gained for him liberal supplies of Azalea
Vander Cruyssen during the past several
seasons that this variety has been scarce.
The Easter trade is already well under
way and a number of varieties are al-
ready out. Mr. Aschmann expects to
clean up everything by Easter Sunday
and will then have room to spread out
the big stock of spring bedding plants
■which he has in the course of prepara-
tion.

THE BEST SEEDS
IN THE MARKET

HENRY F. MICHELL CO

1018 MARKET ST., PHILADELPHIA

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

The Market.

On the afternoon of Sunday, March
11, it began to snow, and with intervals
it has snowed ever since. Of course be-
ing so late in the year it melted largely
as it came, but when I tell you that
twenty-seven inches of snow covers the
ground you will realize how we have
been fixed the past two weeks. It has
been the coldest of the winter also ; zero
to 20 degrees above. With the exception
of Saint Patrick's day and last Satur-
day trade has been only fair.

Carnations have been a glut lately,
many sales being made by growers as
low as $1.50 per hundred. Bulb stock
the same rate.

Variottf Notes.

The fakers are springing up all over
the city, selling carnations at 25 cents
a dozen.

Tred Windmiller has several very ele-
gant seedling carnations; especially two
very large and heavy stemmed varieties
— a pure white, and a clear pink.

The Florists' Club held four meet-
ings during the month just closing, the
special work being the packaging of
flome 40,000 penny packets of both flower
and vegetable seeds for the children of
the public schools.

The Livingston Seed Co. has just pub-
lished for free distribution to its cus-
tomers a very neat and attractive leaflet
on the "Care and Cultivation of the
Baby Eambler Rose."

Graff Bros, have been having a violet
sale of twenty-five flower bunches at 25
<;ents. It went well.

Not only have the seed orders fallen
off since the snow came, but it is im-
possible to ship potatoes, onion sets,
bulbs, etc., until the weather breaks.

Eobert Livingston, of the Livingston
Seed Co., during the past week made a
business trip to Toledo and other Ohio
cities.

Some varieties of vine and tomato
seeds are getting short.

Emil Metzmaier has some 5,000 ele-
gant tulips which he is holding back for
Easter.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. reports
a fine business lately in funeral work;
other trade very slow.

The recent meeting of the oflScers and
executive board of the S. A. F. at
Dayton, has started the enthusiasm
among the craft in this vicinity for a
grand turnout next summer.

The F. M. Kirby & Co. department
store is having a special. sale of Stumpp
& Walter Co. 's sweet peas at 5 cents
an ounce.

Our visitors the past week were Wil-
liam E. Langbridge, of Jerome B. Rice
Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y., and Jacob
Kershaw, representing William Rust &
Sons, New Brunswick, N. J. Zero.

DETROIT.

The Market

Business remains about the same. Good
roses are keeping up their price, $1.50 to
$2.50 a dozen, retail. For the first time
in many months carnations are more than
plentiful. Not only the Lawson but the
lighter colored varieties also. Valley,
callas, snapdragon, daffodils and violets

are also almost too plentiful. Green keeps
pretty well on the move.

Qub Meetifigi

Despite the fact that florists as a rule
do not mind bad weather, a terrific bliz-
zard greatly reduced the usually large at-
tendance at the club's last meeting.

A very interesting paper on steam
heating was read by Frank A. Siraonds,
of Grand Rapids.

The fall exhibition question was again
put over until next meeting, but it was
decided to hold a carnation exhibition
in the' near future, either at the club
room or at the Michigan Cut Flower
Exchange. With the co-operation of the
local growers and of the introducers of
new varieties throughout the country, it
is hoped to have a very complete exhibit.

The question box brought forth little
of interest, presumably on account of
the small attendance.

Under the heading of miscellaneous
business, two letters addressed to the
club were read. One was an invitation
from the American Rose Society to at-
tend its annual meeting at Boston. The
other letter was from Louis Wittbold,
giving a practical demonstration of his
watering device at Rackham's.

A paper by Hugo Schroeter on "Sea-
sonable Preparation for Easter Trade"
was greeted with applause.

After adjournment the members en-
joyed a social hour.

Schroeter 's men were very busy the
past week decorating for the spring
opening of Detroit's largest dry goods
store. Besides several van-loads of plants
and about fifty elaborate baskets, several
hundred American Beauties, KiUameys
and Richmond roses were in evirience.

Seed Trade News.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOOATHM.

Pros., W. H. Grenell, Sasrlnaw, W. S., Mien.;
nnt Vlce-Pres., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and
Troas., O. B. Kendel, Cleveland. The 21th annual
Meeting will be held at Toledo, G., June 26-28, 1806.

The onion set grower is anxious for
good weather.

Counter trade is expected to begin
in earnest as soon as the belated cold
snap is over.

There undoubtedly is plenty of onion
seed to be had, but it is not the kind
wanted.

Toronto. — Wintry weather has cur-
tailed the seed business. Prices are
lower on clover and grass seeds.

Chas. p. Guelf, of the Jerome B.
Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y., is at
present making Philadelphia his head-
quarters.

So far as reports to date would indi-
cate, the pea and bean acreage for 1906
crop will be cut considerably below the
acreage of 1905.

Chicago. — A second supply of cauli-
flower seed is being called for by gar-
deners, owing to a too early sowing of
the former lot in anticipation of an
early spring.

There is much complaint that field
corn of good quality is hard to get. This
refers to shelled stock, as it appears that
ear corn of a good quality is to be had
if the price is forthcoming.

The mail order houses report trade
fully up to the March record so far for
the month. This is thought to be a go6d
showing, considering the wintry weather
conditions that have prevailed the past
fortnight.

From the jobbers' standpoint every-
thing is satisfactory, yet there is a feel-
ing that the mild weather in the early
months of the year, followed by such a
cold March, may switch things off and
upset calculations.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
has issued as Circular No. 63 "Boot-
maggots and How to Control Them,"
which will be of assistance to seedsmen
in correspondence with planters who are
having trouble with these very common
enemies of corn, cabbage, onion, etc.

Reports from the sections where onion
sets are used largely . is to the effect
that planting is retarded by the un-
seasonable weather. This reacts upon
the handlers of sets, as at this season
of the year the natural sprouting of the
stock causes a heavy loss to those who
are compelled to hold back till purchas-
ers are ready to plant.

Canada also has a free seed distribu-
tion, conducted through the Experiment
Farm at Ottawa. Dr. C. E. Saunders,
in charge, states that for February 28,-
740 letters requesting seed samples were
received. One day 2,731 were received.
In January 8,783 letters were received
and since the first of this month the aver-
age has been about 500 each day.

The call for watermelon seed from
Texas indicates increased acreage this
year in spite of the cry that the private
car lines get all the profit.

The 1905 bean crop of Michigan is
said to exceed that of 1904, vrhich was
estimated at 3,000,000 bushels by the
secretary of agriculture for the state.

If any seedsman is interested in the
"Storage and Germination of Wild
Eice Seed" or in the "Poisonous Action
of Johnson Grass," he will obtain new
information by sending for Bulletin
No. 90, U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.

The efforts of the seed trade to arouse
public opinion unfavorable to the free
seed distribution has resulted in much
good editorial work on the part /of the
newspapers and thousands of letters on
the subject are received by congressmen.
Many candidates for the spring election
to congress, as opponents to present
members, are declaring against free
seeds.

The trade has spent the brief leisure
moments afforded by bad weather the
past week in speculating on who it is
that needs a five-thousand-dollar man-
ager for a mail trade. Half a dozen
different big wholesale houses are sug-
gested .IS being about to go into the
catalogue field, guesses running all the
way from Detroit to San Francisco, but
the only sure thing is that several rising
young seedsmen would each like to be
turned loose on the job — and the salary.
All the information Hapgood's can give
out is that the proposed catalogue busi-
ness will be separate from the wholesale
business by which it is owned and oper-
ated under a different name.

ROCHESTER SEED NOTES.

Business is good and all seem satis-
fied, both with the past and present
trade, also the outlook. Bed clover,
though, at the present price is moving
slowly and such conditions are not to
be wondered at. Alsike took an upward
turn on account of the iniquitous price
the dealers have been forced to charge
for reds. Timothy also seemed to be in
better trim and good orders were en-
tered. Onion sets, which have proven a
hard proposition this winter, are mov-
ing off gradually and whites are getting
short. Sweet com seems to be in abun-
dance and some low prices have been
quoted on Evergreen. While the bot-
tom dropped out of the potato market
about a couple of weeks ago as
far as restaurant stock is concerned,
Ford, Connelly and Aldridge are still
booking orders for seed purposes at the
same old prices and from the same old
customers. A look around Fishers,
N. Y., where their establishments are
located, would dissipate, if it ever ex-

isted, the idea that these gentlemen have
not the space, stock and facilities for
attending to their customers' interests.
Alfalfa is not selling as quickly as
could be wished. The omniscient gentle-
men at the capital have cast a shadow
over the poor farmers' minds — the fear
that good alfalfa cannot be obtained.
The variations in analyses of the same
bulk goods from four different and
widely separated experiment stations
(and there is no doubt that the Wash-
ington authorities never " lit " on a
more suitable cognomen) are so differ-
ent that we feel like letting our worthy
representatives have the prerogative of
distributing alfalfa themselves — * ' free
from dodder and all other obnoxious
weeds ' ' — when they get some.

RAWSON BURNED OUT.

Fire destroyed the three-story build-
ing of W. W. Rawson & Co., 12 and 13
Faneuil Hall square, Boston, early Fri-
day morning, March 23. Crossed wires
are believed to have been the cause. The
loss Avas complete, all the stock of seeds,
implements, etc., being ruined, either by
fire or water. The firm carried $25,000
insurance on the stock, but this only
partly covers the loss. The fire could
hardly have come at a worse time, as
the season's stock of seeds was all on
hand and a heavy trade was just fairly
beginning. It will be impossible to re-
place much of the stock for this season's
trade and orders are flowing in with in-
creasing volume. Mr. Eawson has not
decided Avhether or not to reopen in a
new location. However, the business is
one of the old and well known ones and
will doubtless be continued, although Mr.
Eawson \iRs many other large interests
at Arlington, Medford and Newton,

MAINE SEED LAWS.

In 1897 the legislature passed an act
regulating the sale of seeds in the
state of Maine, but it was not until
1905 that provision was made for the
testing of samples, the work being done
at the Experiment Station at Orono.
The law requires that every lot of seeds
of one pound or more, whether in bulk
or package, offered for sale in the state
must be accompanied by a written or
printed guarantee of its percentage of
purity and freedom from foreign mat-
ter. Dealers may lose their guarantees
on tests of the Experiment Station ol
conducted by themselves under such con-
ditions as the director of the Experi-
ment Station may prescribe. The pen-
alty for failure to provide the guaran-
tee or for, with intent to deceive, wrong-
ly mailing any package of garden, veg-
etable or other agricultural seeds,
SAveet corn, trees, shrubs and ornamental
plants excepted, is $100 for the first
offense and $200 for each subsequent
offense. The Experiment Station is re-
quired to publi.sh the results of all tests
made by it.

The Experiment Station has now pub-
lished its first seed bulletin, containing
results of purity tests, in nearly every
case the samples being well within equi-
table standards. Most of the tests were
made for planters, but many were sam-
ples sent by dealers, and these are
named. In the case of a few poor sam-
ples it is explained that these were seeds
"offered to them and it does not neces-
sarily mean that they offered for sale in

smaller acreage than usual is standing.
Italy is the principal district from which
this article is procured for the English
and German trade and also very largely
for the American trade? A genuine
shortage in the Italian seed ^stricts
would be a serious matter for the seed
trade and not easily made up by any
heavy crop from other districts in whicli
cauliflower seed is grown, either in Eu-
rope or America. In conversation with
one of the leading Italian seed growers
in London the other day I gathered that
in the near future some considerable
advance in this line could very reason-
ably be expected.

The conversation with the same grow-
er in reference to onion seed was also
in a similar strain and a considerable
advance in the European markets is al-
ready taking place. Italy is one of the
principal countries from which supplies
for England and the European trade are
obtained, and the acreage for the com-
ing season will be much less than usual
in that country and very probably in
other producing centers also.

The home-grown onion for domestic
consumption has stood at very low prices
in England, and in view of the ever in-
creasing supply and cheapness of the
Kgyptian article (generally termed by
the consumer "Spanish") there is no
apparent chance of the English grown
bulb reaching a profitable price unless
.something out of the ordinary happens
to the foreign supply. Therefore the
trade in onion seed in England is likely
to be a decreasing one year by year, and
it will require a big reduction in the
production of seed so far as England is
concerned to cause the price of seed to
rise or even keep up its average level.

The growing of Brussels sprouts for
the vegetable market has this season
Vjeen very unprofitable and many acres
have not been worth marketing, in conse-
quence of which many extra acres are
standing for seed purposes. I have trav-

CAMPANULAS FOR MARKET.

119 No. 16th Street,

OMAHA. NEB.

Gimpantfla Penidfolia.

There are several campanulas which
would pay for more attention than they
usually get. During the past season
plants of several sorts were seen in Co-
vent Garden market, London, also cut
bloom; for the latter purpose it is the
varieties of Campanula persicifolia that
are most useful, the best being grandi-
flora alba; the clear blue mauve variety
also sell fairly well. For those who
have a local trade they should prove
very useful. I should add that the
double variety is even more useful. A
good deal depends on culture; they may
be grown under almost any conditions,
but will well repay a little extra atten-
tion. Fairly good results may be had
from seedlings, but it is better to rely
on dividing clumps of selected stock.
Good loam that has been well manured
will suit them best. Old clumps that
have been standing in the same ground
do not give good spikes of bloom. Di-
vided and re-planted in autumn or very
early spring they should do well the
same season, yet with plenty of room
and good ground they may do even bet-
ter the second year. By sowing seed
early, and planting out after the plants
are well established, they may flower
the same season, and a selection of the
best types may be made; although they
may come fairly true, there will be sure
to be some variations, and by raising
some seedlings annually, a healthy stock
can be kept up, and the strain improved.

Campanula Pyramidalis.

Most of the plants seen in Covent
Garden market last season were grown
in small pots. Although a perennial, it
is most satisfactory when treated as a
biennial. Seed sown early in the spring
will make good plants for the following
year. One autumn I received some
plants which were considered to be too
small to be of service for the fol-
lowing year, but I potted them in good
soil, and kept them in a cold pit during
the winter, and potted them on in 7-inch
pots early in the year. After they were
well-rooted, as an experiment, I started
them, giving them manure water and
gradually increased the strength, and
I found they appreciated liberal treat-
ment for they made very fine spikes of
bloom and kept their foliage; but in
small pots they lose their foliage at the
base. Unfortunately they do not flower
early enough for the best London trade,
and later there is only a limited demand,
yet they come in at a time when there
are many decorations to be done in the
provinces, and are also serviceable for

the flower shows. In large groups there
is nothing more effective for a back-
ground, or for standing up above other
shorter-growing plants.

Campanula Isophylla Alba.

This has now become au established
market plant, though when first intro-
duced it did not find much favor. There
are few plants which require less cultu-
ral skill to grow well. To get good
plants, it must be propagated from the
short cuttings which come from the base
soon after the plants have done flower-
ing. Grown from a single cutting, I
have seen a good plant established in
one season, yet for market work it is
better to grow from three to five young
plants in each pot. This will ensure a
well-furnished pot, and a limited number
of well-furnished pots will pay better
than a larger number grown singly.

In addition to the white variety, the
blue has now been revived, and of this
we have several slight variations. Mayii
is recognized as one of the best,
but there are now others of similar-
habit. I have found, says "Metro-
politan" in the Horticultural Ad-
vertiser that when Balchiniana, the
pretty variegated variety, reverts to the
green form, it makes a good plant, with
blue flowers of better quality than are
seen on the variety with variegated
leaves.

A BEAUTIFUL PILLAR PLANT.

There is an abundance of plants suit-
able for clothing the pillars of conserva-
tories and other cool structures, but it is
doubtful whether there is among the
many good kinds one to surpass the
graceful Cestrum Newalli, says a writer
in the Gardener's Magazine. All the
cestrums in general cultivation are
more or less attractive, but the flowers
are dull in comparison with this form,
and the plants are consquently less ef-
fective when in bloom. It is now in full
bloom, and those who have not as yet
had an opportunity of seeing the plant
in perfection should, if they are within
a convenient distance of Kew, visit the
Eoyal Gardens. There are several speci-
mens in the temperate house, but the
finest is at the east end of the structure,
where it presents a delightful contrast
to the acacias that it has for its near
neighbors. The specimen is trained to
one of the pillars, which are between
twelve and fifteen feet high, and from
near the ground line to the top it is
densely clothed with long, slightly-
drooping branches, from two to three
feet in length, and furnished with the
bright orange-red flowers throughout
their whole length. To obtain such sat-
isfactory results as in this case, the
branches are cut back to within a few
buds of their base as soon as the beauty
of the flowers is past, and the resulting
growths are allowed to extend their full
length unchecked. The practice which
in some instances is adopted of stopping
the shoots of the cestrums during the
growing season, destroys the graceful
character of the plants and renders the
abundant production of flowers impos-
sible.

PACIFIC COAST.

Portland. Ore. — Farmers who have
taken contracts for cultivating the ex-
perimental alfalfa tracts in the Willa-
mette valley for the Harriman lines will
be sent the seed for planting within two
weeks. The government agreed to fur-
nish forty per cent of the seed required
and this is expected to arrive almost any
day.

VICTORIA, B. C.

A piercing north wind March 10 ush-
ered in a week of hard frost. On one night
the thermometer registered 16 degrees.
This has wrought havoc. Stocks of cab-
bages and cauliflowers went by the thou-
sand. Violets which were just in their
prime were laid low and it is doubtful
if another bloom will be picked this sea-
son. Even primroses went down.

Carnations everywhere now are excel-
lent. The two months' magnificent
weather we have enjoyed leaves no ex-
cuse for poor flowers.

A. J. Woodward has added two more
buildings to the block of four houses,
each 26x300, which he erected in the fall.
The new range, Mr. Woodward says, is
for tomatoes.

WoUaston & Wallace, a new firm here,
started a bulb farm last fall and are
now busy shipping daffodils to many
points. Jay & Co. lost many thousands
of cabbage plants in the frost. As they
are the principal source of supply for
their district it is apt to prove an incon-
venience. E. A. W.

SAN FRANC3SCO.

The Market

The weather has moderated quite a
bit and everything is lovely with the
single exception of the florists' business
and that is remarkably quiet, even for
the season. Flowers of all description,
excepting violets and roses are very plen-
tiful, although there has been no change
in price for several weeks. If the pres-
ent glut is not relieved before we may
expect a break near Easter. Violets
have about finished blooming for this
season and we will see little more of
them until next winter. Carnations are
well up to form and color. Roses of the
best grades are very short in supply
and were there any heavy demand at
present there would be considerable
scrambling for stock. Bulbous material
of all kinds is past its prime and only
a few late tulips and daffodils are seen.
Narcissi of the white and light yellow
sorts have entirely disappeared.

From present indications there will be
a heavy cut of lilies for Easter, that is,
if we have good weather in the mean-
time. Wild greens of all descriptions
are now at their best and are being
lavishly used by the dealers in every
variety of work. Some fine wild flowers
are being brought into town and in the
event of a few days more of sunshine
wo can expect vast quantities to be seen
everywhere.

equal to the demand and this fact has
been more noticeable than ever this sea-
son.

The weather has of course, very much
to do with this particular branch, and a
much bettor showing would have been
made here if the climatic conditions were
more favorable. Although the trees from
which these blossoms are cut are not of
a very delicate type, the flowers are
quite the reverse and fully as much care
must be taken in handling them as with
much more expensive stock. For certain
kinds of decorating there seems to be
nothing at this season of the year to
replace fruit blossoms and for that
reason they are in good demand.

lar season depending somewhat on the

lateness or earliness of the rains and the
severity of our frosts. The double flow-
ered fruits are, of course, in the greater
demand and bring the best prices, al-
though some varieties among the single
flowered sorts which I shall mention, are
also good sellers.

The earliest of this class of flowers
is the red-flowered Japanese quince
(Cydonia Japonica). This is not a fruit-
ing quince, and is cultivated entirely as
an ornamental shrub. The supply of
this effective flower is rather limited
here, and the blossoms are always in
good demand. There are many varieties
of quinces, but only the red-flowered va-
riety is in demand. The blooms last a
long time and are very fine for decora-
tive purposes. None of the blossoms of
the cultivated quinces are used, as they
are very delicate and do not hold to-
gether well.

The season for the cydonia lasts prob-
ably about one month and it is followed
immediately by the flowering almonds.
There are several varieties producing
good, durable flowers. None of the
paper-shelled sort are of any value for
this purpose. The hard-shelled or seed-
lings are much better, as their blooms
are much more lasting. The double flow-
ered almonds are in great demand, but
as we have only a limited supply of the
trees in this country a great many of the
public are unacquainted with them. The
almonds flower about two weeks and
give way to the cherries, which at the
present writing are in full swing. Al-
most any of the cultivated varieties make
magniflcent spikes for cutting, although
the red fruited varieties usually have a
greater profusion of large flowers than
the black kinds. We have many magnifi-
cent specimens of the various white and
pink flowered double dwarf cherries
here, but they are not grown commer-
cially for the blossoms. The cherries,
when cut, are very lasting. The plums
and prunes follow the cherries, and while
both look beautiful when growing in the
orchard, are the poorest of all fruit
blossoms to hold together and unless for
a very short decoration they are seldom
used.

The double flowered plums have the
same scarcity here, as we have but few
specimen trees to cut from. With
peaches the wild varieties only are of much
value. With the double kinds we had
quite a showing this season and they
were in great demand — both the pink
and white colors. Crab apple blossoms
sell well and double flowered pears, but
tp the orchard varieties there is little
stability, and they are difficult to han-
dle. Some kinds of apples make magnifi-
cent clusters of bloom and find ready
sale at good prices. They last well over
into May and are the latest of the fruit
flowers to be used by the florist. G.

Edw. Wiseman, Elgin, Scotland, says
the crop of seeds of Scotch fir was

A. S. WooLLEY, secretary of the Eliza-

recently returned from a trip to Cuba.

It is reported that The W. W. Barnard

establish a large nursery of ornamental
stock.

The Holland nurserymen, now on their
annual trips in this country, report their
bookings on hardy stock the best they
have ever taken.

The Koster blue spruce is one of the
most salable items on the lists of the
European travelers. There are several
large stocks of it in Holland.

Most of the shipments of French nur-
sery stock have come to hand in first-
class order. French methods of pack-
ing have improved considerably in the
past few years and shipments caught in
the recent zero weather in the east gen-
erally escaped injury.

There is hope of securing a more
uniform method of certification as to in-
spection of nursery stock intended for
interstate shipment. The state inspec-
tors realize that it would lighten their
labors and save them, as well as the nur-
serymen, many troubles.

The Wisconsin State Horticultural So-
ciety, through its secretary, Frederic
Cranefield, of Madison, is advertising
that it in no way guarantees or indorses
any. nursery and warns all buyers against
a nursery, not named, said to be solicit-

The cold weather put a stop to plant-
ing operations which had been begun in
the territory north of the Ohio.

There is in an Illinois town a woman
who is this season having undone the
landscape work of a few years ago and
a new planting made at an expense of
$10,000, so her front yard "won't look
like the entrance to a cemetery."

A Canadian fruit grower was recently
convicted of having in his possession
fifty barrels of apples marked XXX.,
but which were below the standard re-
quired. The chief of the fruit division
said that the man who deliberately
marked packages falsely committed a
crime against society. The magistrate
imposed a fine of $50 and costs.

Denison, Tex. — T. V. Munson, of the
Munson nursery, says that all the fruit
in bud was killed by the heavy frost
March 19. C. E. Stephens, of the Iron
Ore Nursery, says the fruit prospects
were entirely destroyed by the freeze,
so far as peaches and other budding
fruits are concerned. Berries and other
small fruits, of course, are safe, not be-
ing so far advanced.

Manning's Monographs are a quite
distinct departure from the usual run of
nursery advertising. No. 2, just issued,
contains thirty-two handsomely printed
and well illustrated pages on hardy
rhododendrons, azaleas and the mountain
laurel. The subjects are treated in a
most complete and interesting way and
without a suggestion of an effort to sell
plants; all that is confined to four pages
of prices in the back of the pamphlet.

The wholesale deliveries for the sea-
son are pretty well over and the business
foots up to a very satisfactory total with
all the growers and importers. In recent
years, since frost proof storage houses
have become so common, the fall busi-

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

March 29. 1906.

ness has been growing more rapidly than
the spring trade, especially with the big
growers of fruit trees. There are sur-
pluses in a few lines, but nothing of not-
able extent and no more than ia to be
expected; the bonfires never can be whol-
ly eliminated.

LOSS OF NURSERY STOCK.

Many reports are coming to hand of
losses of nursery stock caught in transit
by the recent change to cold weather.
Following a period of springlike tem-
peratures, the middle states have had in
the past fortnight the most wintry
weather of the season. In parts of Ohio
there was more than a foot of snow and
in New England temperatures consider-
ably below zero were registered. As the
nursery business was in full blast, many
shipments were in transit, and those
which had been carelessly packed were
in many eases received in such condi-
tion that they were valueless. The stock
from the south suffered especially. Quite
a number of shipments are reported
that were packed in unlined cases and
shipped north in ordinary freight cars
as though the danger of frost were
wholly past.

BEST NEW ENGLAND VARIETIEa

Having been for over fifty years ac-
tively engaged in the nursery business,
with my father and grandfather both in
the same business in this town and in
Old Newbury, it may be excusable in me
to offer a few suggestions to those of
less experience.

As we are about forty miles north
of Boston, we have the full benefit of a
northern climate. Trees and shrubs that
are considered hardy 200 miles south of
«s are not wholly reliable here. We
recommend in our catalogues only those
which, after a series of years, have
proved hardy throughout this part of
New England and in the same latitude
west of us. We have also made a study
of those trees, both evergreen and de-
ciduous, which are best adapted to the
seacoast, as our trade of late years has
been very largely with residents of the
North Shore, all the way from Boston
to Bar Harbor.

First of all, as a tree indigenous to
our northern country, I will mention the
sugar maple as the best, everything con-
flidered, of all ornamental trees. As a
street tree in town and village, or plant-
ed along our country roads, it stands at
the head, both for beauty and profit;
beautiful in shape and foliage, not liable
to be broken by winds or ice — less sub-
ject to and more easily kept clean of all
insects and diseases. It is the tree for
planting on the "run-out farms" of
New England for sugar orchards, which
will in a few years become very profit-
able. Of the other maples, the Norway
maple is a very handsome, desirable tree,
better adapted to the seashore than the
sugar maple. Varieties of this are very
handsome, as the Scbwedlerii, with
crimson foliage in spring; Reitenbachi
and Geneva, handsome bronze and purple
foliage in autumn.

The American sweet chestnut is a
profitable tree to plant for timber and
fruit. It can be planted quite thickly
on any high, bleak land, and in a few
years will pay good interest on the in-
vestment. All of ours we grew from
large, selected northern nuts — every way
better than the small southern ones. The
American beech, when grown in a suit-
able, rich, moist soil is called the queen

of trees. If planted in the fall, or very
«arly in spring, it is quite sure to live.
The American white ash is a valuable
tree, both as a street tree and for shade
and timber. The American elm everyone
knows and admires, but it requires large
space and a long time to develop, and is
more subject to insects than most other
trees. There are several hardy mag-
nolias, which, with a little shelter and
preparation of the soil, are unsurpassed
in beauty, not only when in bloom in
spring, but for their stately growth and
ample foliage.

Among evergreens I would name the
white pine (Pinus strobus) as the most
valuable evergreen in this or any other
country. But the white pine forests of
our northern states are fast disappear-
ing. Old growth of white pine lumber
is now worth three times as much as
thirty years ago. Our national govern-
ment, forestry associations, and people
generally are waking up to the impor
tance of this work; and it is to be pre-
sumed that more effort will be made to
preserve our forest land and plant out
large areas to trees in the next twenty-
five years than has ever been done in
this country before. Several public-
spirited men during the last few years
have planted large tracts of vacant land
in the states of Vermont and New
Hampshire with white pines, and they
consider it a profitable investment.

The concolor fir, from the high peaks
of the Eocky mountains, is a very beau-
tiful tree, perfectly hardy in New Eng-
land, and probably the handsomest ever-
green tree ever introduced here. It is
well adapted to the seashore, and will
flourish within a few rods of the ocean.
Being difficult to transplant, it should be
handled with great care. The Douglas,
pungens and Engelmann spruces, all
from the Rocky mountains, are very val-
uable and deserving of a place in the
best grounds. The American white
spruce, too, is a tree of rare beauty, not
half enough appreciated.

I have only space to mention a few
valuable native shrubs, which have in the
past been very much neglected, and
which can be grown by any one who will
use the proper conditions. First the
mountain laurel, Kalmia latifolia, than
which there is no better evergreen shrub
in America. It is found growing wild
in many of the southern states, and in
favorable locations all through the north.
It is generally found growing in the
shade of other trees, oftener on a north
hillside. Although we grow it by the
thousand without shelter in our nur-
series, it is in every way better in growth
and foliage if shaded somewhat from the
noonday sun. It will grow in any ordi-
nary soil, and once planted it is * * a thing
of beauty and a joy forever." The
same conditions apply to our two native
rhododendrons, the maximum and cataw-
biense, only they may require more moist-
ure and a better preparation of the soil.

Of our five native azaleas, the arbor-
escens. the Calendulacea (lutea) and the
Vaseyi are the finest, and should be used
extensively. T. C. Thurlow.

Current Comment.

This section was visited last Sunday
nigiit by the heaviest snow storm it has
experienced for years. While some dam-
age was done in the city, through roofs
giving way because of the weight of
snow, the florists were fortunate and es-
caped without loss. Street car travel
was demoralized and getting about with
wagons was hard work.

What with the bad weather and Lent,
trade in all lines suffered. The Tomlin-
Bon market took a decided slump and
both plants and cut flowers went beg-
ging. On Saturday, especially, the mar-
ket was glutted with carnations.

Henry Hack, second son of William
Hack, has been home on a furlough. He
returned to his ship, the Charlestown,
last week. Judging by his looks a "life
on the ocean wave" suits him.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Florists' Association will be held April
3, at which time final arrangements will
be made for the show to be held April
9. The committee has been very success-
ful in getting subscriptions, so all we
need to make it a great success will be
fine weather.

The prospects for Easter stock are
good so far as bulbs and plants are con-

CUT IT OUT.

Advertisers are urged to cut out of
their advertisements in the Keview any
items of stock on which they are running
low. Kemember that the Review is
printed every Wednesday. Write so that
your letter will be received on Tuesday,
directing that items nearly sold out be
omitted. Don't wait until you are com-
pletely sold out; orders will keep com-
ing. Don't neglect it. You will be at
no greater trouble to change your ad-
vertisement in the Review than you will
be to send back money — besides, you
know how it would disappoint you to
order stock and a week or so later, in-
stead of getting the goods, have the
money returned. Then, if the same
stock is listed in the advertisement in
the next Review, what would you think?
Cut it out!

DAYTON, OHIO.

The Dayton Florists' Club held its
weekly meeting March 19 with J. B.
Heiss in the chair. A resolution of sor-
row was passed on account of the death
of our pioneer landscape gardener,
Charles Beek, of the Soldiers' Home.
The rest of the evening was taken up in
discussing the arrangements of the com-
ing convention of the Society of Ameri-
can Florists. The national committee
realizes the fact that at last it will have
ample room. Great satisfaction was
shown when the report was read, that
all the largest nurserjonen are enthu-
siastic at the opportunity to exhibit at
the fair grounds. The appointed land-
scape gardener, under the direction of
Mr. Freudenberger, will have his hands
full as soon as the snow goes away.

There was loud applause when Mr.
Heiss told the club that the city of Day-
ton had given free use of water at the
fair grounds until September 1, and that
the Dayton Lighting Co. had most liber-
ally consented to give light free during
the four nights of the convention.

The National Cash Register Co. has
announced that it wishes to entertain
the visitors to the convention. A local
committer will meet some day this week
in conference with the head officials to
formulate plans.

KANSAS QTY.

The Market.

Last week was very quiet for the trade
as compared with the earlier part of the
season. The usual spring epidemic of
price cutting has struck the town and
has demoralized the market.

It would be a hard matter to say what
the retail market price is on any line of
flowers, as they are being sold at all
kinds of prices. The department stores
on last Saturday sold carnations as low,
in some cases, as 1 cent each and violets
for 7 cents a bunch. Eoses are selling
from $3 to $6 at wholesale. Bulbous
stock is holding its own and there is no
trouble in disposing of it. In fact, all
kinds of bulb stock has sold better this
season than for several years. The
prospect for a plentiful supply of stock
for Easter is very good.

Various Notes.

Among the growers who intend to
build this summer is Ed A. Humfeld.
He will erect a house 25x90 to be used
principally as a forcing house for lilies
and bulbous stock. Mr. Humfeld 's busi-
ness has increased to such an extent that
he finds his present area of glass en-
tirely too small.

The Western Cut Flower Commission
Co. has gone out of business, after a
very brief existence.

W. A. Bastian has opened a commis-
sion house of his own at Thirteenth
street and Baltimore avenue. He will
be the sole owner, and as he has been
assured the support of practically all
the leading dealers of the city, we see
no reason why he should not succeed.

Miss M. Dalley reports business as
being very good with her, considering
the season. Kay-See.

Bellevue, O. — I. Husbands has had
experience with primula poisoning and
recommends the following as an effec-
tive remedy: Bathe the hands for two
dressings, one each evening, in a strong
solution of saleratus.

Cleveland, O.— William H. Gaffney,
at 2505 Superior street, and Ernest
Call, chauffeur for William H. Board-
man, of 950 Euclid avenue, indulged in
fisticuffs near the Superior arcade. The
two men were taken to Central police
station. Gaffney charged Call with at-
tempting to run him down with an elec-
tric brougham, and a battle of words
quickly became a physical encounter. No
damage was done.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Mabch 29, 1906.

ROCHESTER.

Last week business was rather slow.
Naturally, some reason had to be found
and Lent got the brunt of it, whether
guilty or otherwise. All sorts of stock
dragged, including the much abused
daffodil. Well, honestly, it was the
worst sinner in the bunch. People did
not give afternoon teas, get married or
die. Hence the doleful expression on
the countenances of our local trade.
This week, however, things have as-
sumed a rosier hue and the prospects
are happier.

I had a chance last week to have a look
at J. B. Keller's Sons' establishment.
Everything is in healthy condition,
promising well for Easter wealth, and
the florists, not only in Eochester but
elsewhere, can stand all the profits com-
ing their way. Keller's folks grow a
large variety of plants and the product
is immense in quantity as well as qual-
ity. Bulbous stock as well as rhodo-
dendrons, azaleas, lilacs, genistas,
spiraeas, etc., all speak highly for the
growers' care.

George Hart predicts a good Easter
trade, and at present, among other cut "
flowers, is receiving some extra choice
Beauties, hyacinths, tulips, sweet peas,
mignonette, all coming in large lots.

PITTSBUHG.

The Market

Pittsburg has been experiencing the
most wintry weather of the year, but
nevertheless stock has been coming in
more plentifully each day. Eoses and
carnations are feeling the effect and
prices are getting lower and lower. A
feyf of the growers are in the midst of
a crop, and by the time Easter reaches
them their crops will be about off, but
there is no fear of a scarcity in any-
thing except smilaz, which drops out of
sight about this time every year. The
general trade is about the same as last
year.

Various Notes.

Fred Zieger, who has been with Chas.
T. Siebert for several years, has re-
turned to his old home in Germany to
assist his father in business. He says
he expects to return, possibly in a year,
as he likes this country and especially
Pittsburg.

L. L. Lamborn, of Alliance, O., was
in the city the past week looking things
over. He sold his retail store and the
greenhouses connected with it, about
50,000 square feet of glass, to Miller
& Cogle, formerly of Salem, O. He still
retains his old plant, 50,000 square feet,
and is adding 25,000 square feet to it.
He also runs a retail store in Canton, O.

Fred Burki is doing jury duty. He
says he is not stuck on it, but believes
it every good citizen's duty and is re-
signed.

J. J. Fuchs is out with a new wagon.

Geo. Marshall, of the Pittsburg Cut
Flower Co., is confined to his home on
account of illness.

Pollites, who had the stand in the
Arcade, closed up last Saturday, but the
stand will reopen in a few days under
new management.

Anton Krut, of Butler, Pa,, will have
his new store on Main street ready to
open April 1. Hoo-Hoo.

Park Ridge, III. — Chas. Eaupach
plans to sell out and retire from busi-
ness.

Northampton, Mass. — Two green-
houses on the farm of "William E. Lacy,
between Florence and Northampton, were
destroyed by fire March 16.

CASH VS. ANY TIME.

1 am a large buyer from a cut flower
commission house, and pay cash for my
goods. I understand there are a num-
ber dealing with the same firm who pay
their accounts to suit their convenience,
thus getting an advantage over me. This
seems to me to be an injustice to the
cash purchaser, and is no incentive for
him to pay promptly, as there is no dis-
count for his money. The up-to-date
business man takes the advantage of dis-
counts and runs his affairs as near the
cash basis as possible. Wholesale con-
cerns in other lines with few exceptions
are offering inducements to pay cash.
Why not the wholesale commission flower
houses? I would be pleased to hear
through your paper the conditions that
exist in the larger wholesale districts in
reference to the above subject.

Subscriber.

Enquiries to which, as in this case, no
name is signed are not as a rule entitled
to notice, but it seems timely to remark
that Subscriber probably has not given
his wholesaler a basis for granting him
credit, in consequence of which he is re-
quired to pay cash, or else Subscriber is
overlooking very obvious benefits which
he is receiving or might secure, by pay-
ing cash when he is entitled to have
credit. There is no line of business in
which the cash customer does not have
the advantage of the one who is slow
pay. But it must be borne in mind that
the man whose purchases aire charged
but who pays promptly when the ac-
count is presented is the same as a cash
customer. In fact, he is regarded as
the best possible kind of customer; his
business is on a sound basis and very
likely to grow.

The cash customer is almost always
able to buy cheaper than the one who
is slow pay. It is a common occurrence
for the slow man to find wholesale cut
flower prices unexpectedly stiff day after
day; gradually it dawns upon him that
it is the wholesaler's gentle way of say-
ing that the account is as large as
seems desirable. But he cannot go else-
where; to transfer his patronage, or a
large part of it, would be to tell the
whole story to any wide-awake whole-
saler. You may well believe that a man
who pays at any time that he pleases,
rather than when the bills are due, pays
the wholesaler more than interest on the
money.

The cash buyer is not tied down. He
need not continue to patronize a house
where he feels that his business and his
business-like methods, are not appre-
ciated. He can and doubtless does buy
where he can get for the least money
the stock best suited to his needs. He
should be satisfied with that; he is
wasting his time worrying over the "ad-
vantages" of the man who is slow pay;
he has no advantages.

ing Dictionary on receipt of 25 cents.

BEGONIA AMABILIS.

This was one of the most interesting
plants seen at the last meeting of the
Royal Horticultural Society, says the
Horticultural Advertiser. We have
heard so much about tlie non-fertility
of Gloire de Lorraine, that some may
doubt the genuineness of seedlings from
it. Well, with the above it may not be
quite correct to say that it is from Lor-
raine, but it was the result of seed
saved from one of the sports from that
well known variety, and a curious thing
is that this sport has occurred with sev-
eral growers. H. B. May was the first
to show it under the name of Master-
piece, but it has since been shown under
other names. T. Rochford & Sons, how-
ever, adopted the name Masterpiece, and
it is to them we owe the new variety,
Amabilis. Masterpiece produced female
flowers last spring, and these were fer-
tilized with pollen from Socotrana. The
plants raised from the seed varied but lit-
tle, the most distinct character being the
peltate leaves, which are also larger than
in Ijorraine. The plants shown, which were
only about four months old, had thick
flower stems, and the flowers were the
same pleasing shade of pink as the par-
ent, but appeared of better substance,
and give great promise of making a
more vigorous grower altogether.

A remarkable point is that in a num-
ber of seedlings there should be so little
variation. There is one fact, however,
which should be of interest; that is, a
sport from Lorraine has proved fertile,
and we may now hope for further re-
sults from the same parent. The name
Amabilis may be appropriate, but we
have a species which came from Assam
in IS.'jO under the same name, and this
mav cause some confusion.

ENGLISH TULIPS.

It seems possible that our old English
cottage garden species, and the improved
varieties from them, may prove amen-
able to forcing, says the Horticultural
Advertiser. W. T. Ware, of Bath, sends
flowers of Scarlet Emperor, a variety
for which he was awarded a first-class '
certificate; this, though belonging to the
jNlay-flovvering type, has forced well, the
large flowers were very bright and had
long stems, just the sort of thing we
want for superior work, for when the
ordinary scarlet varieties are seen in
every shop window, and in the streets,
they are not nuich ajipreciated for choice
work, and the florists have to look for
sometiiing better.

I come in contact with a great many
of tilt leading florists, and 1 find their
aim«" invariably are to get flowers of
superior quality, e\cn if they pay much
higher jj-ices. Tliere appears to be a
considerable difiMcnco in the culture of
tulips. Of course tlie quality of bulbs
makes some diirerencc, yet tiiere is also
much to be gained by good culture and
the selection of the best sorts.

WEALTH IN WORMS.

Newspapers throughout the country

"By far the most popular bait for
all kinds of fishing in Elaine is living
earthworms, which have the odor of the
ground about them and which seem to
be choice tidbits, not only for trout and
landlocked salmon, but also for pickerel,
perch, Idack ba.ss and, indeed, every spe-
cies of foo<l fish that swims in fresh
water. As the Maine soil is deficient in
humus and lacking in decaying vegetable
matter, angleworms are not plentiful.

Tie imported a breed of dark purple
worms from Belgium, which were jirolific

pipes. The return at the junction with
the manifold is five feet above the bot-
tom of the boiler and the flow at the
junction with the manifold is seven feet
higher than the bottom of the boiler.
Mj' boiler is ample to heat the four
runs of 2-inch pipe, hot-water, but the
inside run of pipe does not heat up
well. What alterations must I make to
heat all the pipes hot? The pipes are
flat up under the outside benches.

C. W.

If you divide the present manifold,
consisting of four pipes into two mani-
folds containing two pipes each and
carry an independent 2-inch riser to
each of them from each of the two out-
lets in the boiler, I think you will have
no further difficulty in securing a satis-
factory circulation, if, as you say, the
boiler has suflScient capacity for the
work. L. C. C,

PIPING TWO HOUSES.

Will you please tell me about the
houses 1 want to build? There will be
two houses 20x100 feet, ten feet to
ridge, four feet above the ground, for
carnations and one for violets, running
north and south, boiler shed on the north
side. How many pipes will I need and
how can I best place them with solid
benches in the houses? It goes some-
times to about 15 degrees below zero
here. P. S.

The two houses yon contemplate con-
structing will require the following pip-
ing: The violet house may be piped
with nine 2-incli pipes, the length of
the house if hot water is used. A good
plan would be to run a 2^/4 -inch riser
under the ridge to the soutli end of the
house, there divide it to return by four
2-inch pipes on each side wall, arrang-
ing the coils so as to give sufficient fall
in the length of the house. This will
give slightly more radiation than the
nine 2-inch pipes, but will provide a
better distribution. The carnation
house will be less satisfactory with solid
beds and more difficult to arrange a
satisfactory distribution of pipes. This
house should have a 3-inch flow and
twelve 2-inch returns, six on each side
wall, or four on each side wall and four
placed elsewhere, say two in each walk
on the boards forming the sides of the
benches. Your boiler to handle this
equipment with safety and satisfaction
should be rated to carry 2,000 square
feet of radiation. L. C. C.

T couldn't get along without the Re-
view, or at least I wouldn't. — E. Hus-
ton, Sistersville, W. Va.

THE WEEDER FOR FLORISTS

The inner edge is sharp. Its oval shape permits the operator to weed behind the plants while
standing In front. The pushing edge Is thin enough to work easily through the soil, but too dull to
damage the stems of the plants should It come In contact with them.

It takes out the weeds and leaves the surface smooth. What's more, It does all the work so
rapid it will pay for itself In one day's use.

CARNATION AND ROSE HOUSES.

I t'xpect to erect a greenhouse and
would ask about the piping. The carna-
tion house will be 18x60 feet and con-
tain 1,440 square feet of glass, and the
rose house will be 18x30 feet and con-
tain 720 square feet of glass. The 3-
inch flow pipes will enter the rose house
under the bench and, rising a foot, sup-
l)ly live runs of pipe going around the
house with proper fall, while a continua-
tion of this 3-inch flow will go under
the walk to the center bed and again
rise a foot to supply two runs under
the center bed. The carnation house is
laid out in the same way: one 3-inch re-
turn for the whole system. 1 prefer to
have all the pipes under the benches.
Is this piping satisfactory? Would a
hot-water boiler rated as having 1,300
square feet of gross radiation be too
large for this plant? F. D. B.

I believe that with hot-water under
pressure you will receive better service
if you carry the flow from the boiler to
the farther side of the house and there
break it up to supply the five returns
under the bench, arranging the return at
the point you now propose to place the
flow pipe. ' The present system gives the
hot-water from the boiler at a point
where the house is protected and leaves
the cooler returns on the exposed side of
the house; by reversing the system as
suggested, the hottest water will be car-
ried to a distant point to supply pipes
on the exposed side of the building. If
11/^ -inch pipes are to be used, the piping
planned will be satisfactory except that
the runs in the 60-foot house are too
long, nearly 140 feet; long circuits of
this sort are not desirable. If 2-inch
pipe is used 280 feet will supply the
rose house and 692 feet the carnation
house with the necessary radiation.

And Still More Paint Talk

IT WAS LAST WEEK WE TALKED ABOUT
PULP-GROUND LEADS AND OUR BONE-DRY
LEAD AND THE WAY WE GROUND IT IN
OIL AFTER ITS THOROUGH KILN-DRYING

Besides a lot of other things that go to make up a greenhouse paint that can be
guaranteed not to mildew, peel or crack off if properly applied. Now a word
about the oil we use in this paint. Perhaps you have bought the very best
so-called refined linseed oil which is treated with an acid to bleach and refine it.
Right here you made a mistake. This very refining process takes certain life from
the oil and leaves it with an amount of acid which more or less affects the lead.
Every gallon of oil we use is pure, r*w linseed, which we place in immense vats,
containing thousands of gallons, and there left to settle a full four to six weeks.
This oil is now thoroughly free from all impurities, and for some reason known
only to chemists, has sort of cured itself so it incorporates more evenly with the
white lead. Then this is the kind of oil we grind with our bone-dried lead, making
the kind of paint which overcomes all those discouraging things which you had to
contend with.

EVERY MORNING AT 6 O'CLOCK

Rain or shine, heat or cold, sunshine or shadow, and not a day older than when
our first customer came and bought, and he is coming and buying today.
This will be the Greatest Easter morning on which this rooster has ever crowed.

#^

Every time Peter heard
the rooster crow it
gave him a chill, for it re-
minded him of his denial.

^#

Every time we hear this
rooster crow it makes
us feel goody for we have
nothing to deny, j* «^

Twenty years is a long time for a rooster to live and
keep tender and sweet, but we hope to be right here

TWENTY EASTERS LONGER!

THE RETAIL

_ _ \i

FLORIST.

EASTER ARRANGEMENTS.

The Tasteful Use of Accessories.

The trend of public taste has been such
in recent years that it is next to impossi-
ble to sell stock, especially at a holiday,
unless it is embellished with one or an-
other of the many requisites which the
ingenuity of the supply dealers has
placed at the command of the decorators.
The general adoption of these aids has
educated the public to expect them, and
the retailer who fails to avail himself of
the wealth of such material cannot hope
to do a first-class business.

With the aid of the baskets, hampers,
ribbons and other accessories quite com-
mon plants may be given new and much
more attractive form and find a sale at
prices which they could not otherwise
command. Take, for instance, the illus-
tration of lily of the valley in this
issue. Here is a receptacle made to
suggest an Easter egg. It stands slight-
ly inclined to the front. A pan is pro-
vided to retain the moisture. In such a
receptacle lily of the valley presents a
new appearance. With the addition of
chiffon and an Easter chick the piece is
given a selling value which not only pays
a profit on the accessories but gives a
return for the valley which is several
times what it would have had in its na-
tural state.

Profitable and Satisfying.

And take then the primula shown in
another illustration. This is Primula
veris, pale yellow with darker center. It
is not an especially well grown plant
and would be classed among the cheaper
items of stock. Set into one of these
receptacles, with a couple of ducklings
peeping out, its selling value is far be-
yond the cost and much above the profit
which could be realized without the re-
ceptacle. And, above all, the buyer is
pleased.

Twig Baskets.

One of the most popular things shown
last year was the twig basket and it will
have a much wider sale this season. The
basket is made in innumerable forms,
both with and without handles. One of
the accompanying illustrations shows
such a basket, of course with a metal
pan inside, planted with hyacinths. Small
plants of Asparagus plumosus are used
as an edging, with willow twigs to add
to the spring-time appearance. This of
course was not complete without the
addition of the bow of chiffon, yards
upon yards of which are used at each
holiday in eVery up-to-date retail store.

For Ungainly Plants.

The average plant of genista would
lie unsalable without some form of em-
bellishment and that is certainly true of
The specimen illustrated. The top of
the plant is all right, but the long, lanky,
bare based character of the growth would
I'reclude a profitable sale if it were not

for the addition of the asparagus and
chiffon as well as the pot cover.

G-edit Due Supply Dealers.

The competition among the supply
dealers has had the result of stimulat-
ing their efforts to secure novelties. It

is such a wide variety in the line of
florists ' supplies that it is almost im-
possible for any retailer to buy or us©
them all. But he is neglecting his best
interests who fails to offer his Easter
stock embellished to the best of his
artistic ability with such a selection of
these requisites as the character of his
trade requires. There are expensive
things for high priced stores; there are
inexpensive pot covers, baskets, hampers,
ribbons, etc., for those whose trade puts
a limit on price.

is an undoubted aid to their business,
as well as to the business of every retail
florist, to be able to offer something
which cannot be obtained of "the other
fellow." The result has been that there

his Easter plant sales it will readily be
seen that a mixture of everything and
every color is the most difficult to choose
from. Plants should be so placed as
to enable the customer to get a yood

view of a specimen of each kind with-
out having to handle the plants.

"We will sui)pose the stock includes
Easter lilies, callas, cineraria, primroses,
spiraeas, azaleas, hyacinths, tulips, ferns,
palms, lilacs, genistas, roses, etc. Have
plenty of plant stands and pedestals of
various heights, from a foot and a half
to five feet, and as many low tables as
space will allow. Have some of them
quite low. First classify the collection
as to kind; for instance, have a table of
hyacinths and a group of azaleas, etc.
Then arrange or separate the kinds of
plants as to color, placing purple and
lavender hyacinths at one side of the
group. Scattered among the light pur-
ple let a few white be seen. Then group
the white close together, add a few light
pink and work in the deeper pinks
towards the opposite side.

The effect of the whole is not only
pleasing, but after a customer locates
his favorite color he can more quickly
make his choice as to the plant he de-
sires.

At a convenient distance have a group
of Easter lilies with palms and ferns in-
terspersed. These should be ranged
from the height of the plant on the floor
to one upon a tall stand. The group may
be crowned by a large palm. Toward

Most of them look better on the floor
or on a low platform.

Care should be taken not only to pre-
serve color harmony between the plants
of different colors in the same group,
but also between the groups. Separate
clashing colors by a bunch of green or
white. Place the purples and scarlets at
the ends of the display space.

It will soon be noted that the plants
which stand apart sell most quickly. Pot
receptacles do not always sell themselves,
but they sell the plants and are there-
fore a good investment.

Let the pot covers be plain and quiet,
the less ribbon the better.

A chiffon bow or ribbon is admirable
on a basket handle, but it should be
well chosen and in close harmony with
the basket 's contents. Where the con-,
tents of a plant basket looks too solid
set a slender vase on one side close to
the handle and fill with some slender
spray flowers, like snapdragon or spiraea.
Often the combination will sell.

Of course all this means extra thought
and care, but it pays. Plants with a
little thought put upon their appearance
and arrangement will easily bring a bet-
ter price than an ill assorted lot of even
better quality.

the edge of the lily group begin to intro-
duce a bright bit of color in the way
of a pink azalea. Next group the aza-
leas, grading the colors from dark to
light, setting aside some odd color for a
more convenient place.

Leave space enough between the dif-
ferent groups for the salesman to walk
around and reach individual plants. Aza-
leas should not be staged very high.

AZALEAS FOR EASTER.

The accompanying illustrations show
Easter azaleas, one of them the well-
known, flat-headed form of which hun-
dreds of thousands are sold every season.
This is a typical plant, fairly well
flowered, well shaped in the convention-
al form, with the pan resting in one
of the popular pot covers and tied with
a big bow of satin ribbon.

While such plants as these are the
ones which sell in greatest quantity, such
plants as are shown in the second illus-
tration have taken a firm hold on the
public favor and are called for in great-
er quantities each season. A leading
Chicago retailer already has such a plant
in his window with a card, "The new
pyramidal azalea, the greatest novelty
of the season. " As a matter of fact
such plants invariably attract the at-
tention of visitors through the fact that
the average customer has not seen plants
of this shape.

The plant illustrated was a most at-
tractive specimen. It is profusely
flowered and the flowers are uniform-
ly distributed on all sides of the plant.
The one defect is that the plant was not
quite straight, nor could the top be made
to stand quite erect by staking. The
addition of the pot cover and the chiffon
was, of course, necessary to make the
plant ready for sale. As a matter of
fact, this plant was packed up last East-
er by a leading Chicago retailer and
shipped for a customer to an Iowa
town, where it arrived safely.

THE ROSE BASKETS.

Reproduced in this issue are photo-
graphs of four of the fancy baskets in
the Easter display, 1905, at the store
of C. A. Samuelson, Chicago. These
show the popular twig baskets in three
styles and also show a fancy raffia ham-
per, zinc lined, with lid only partially
visible in the illustration. With Mr.
Samuelson these baskets were among the
best selling specialties for Easter. They
naturally brought good prices because
they were worth it and because Mr.
Samuelson 's trade calls for the best.

The material used in each of these
baskets was the Clothilde Soupert rose
with Baby Ramblers. In some of the
baskets the pussywillow is seen and also
a little selaginella, a few small plants
of cocus and some Asparagus plumosus.

The best selling baskets were those
with the handle, but all were decorated
with ribbon. In three of these specimens
chiffon was used and on the other Per-
sian silk ribbon, the figure being a pink
rose. Last year Mr. Samuelson used
large numbers of the Easter chickens, as
shown in several of these handled bas-
kets. They invariably made a hit with
the ladies and children, and added not
a little to the selling qualities of the
many arrangements to which they were
added.

TREATMENT FOR AZALEAS.'

We would like to have you tell us the
best method of caring for azaleas that
are left on our somewhat inexperienced
hands. Can they be readily managed so
as to bloom well next season, or would it
be cheaper to throw them away?

. E. & B.

Many times have azaleas been alluded
to in the columns of the Review. There
was a time when we believed that aza-
leas unsold at flowering time were not
worth bothering with. We have, how-
ever, learned that this was a big mistake
and now many of our best Easter aza-
leas are those plants carried over from
last year. The individual flower is not
quite so large, but the sure and great
profusion of blossoms make the plants
most attractive. Some varieties like Ber-
nard Andre and Bernard Andre alba do
not flower satisfactorily the first spring

CLOSE OF THE SEASON.

IIow quickly the seasons come and
go! While our winters seem long as a
•whole, still it seems but a short time
since we were making the last prepara-
tions for the violet season which the
coming Easter time practically closes.
Undoubtedly nearly every grower has
already made a survey of the season in
retrospect, and with the aid of his
records of cut, sales, notes of stock, etc.,
is making his plans for the coming
season ,

Of course, the good grower will be
continually planning the whole season
through ; however, as the season draws

after importing and make much better
plants the second year.

If the azalea plant is out of flower,
pick off all old blossoms and the seed
pods. Be sure of that. If a number of
young growths have started you can
pinch back the strongest and keep the
plants in a temperature of 55 degrees to |
60 degrees, with plenty of water at the i
roots and syringing daily. The growth
they are then making is the flowering
•wood for next winter.

If you are in possession of any old
plants that have been misused, for in-
stance, on sale at a retail store for two
weeks and kept another week in the rear
of the store waiting for the wagon to
take them back to the greenhouse — the
sort of place where the wide-awake (?)
shopmen have been so busy they had no
time to give them a drop of water, think-
ing more of the arrangement of their
hair or the crease in their pants than of
the poor, thirsting plants; these plants
will likely have lost their leaves and look
pretty hard. They will quickly recover.

Take a sharp pair of shears and cut
back not only the growth made last
spring and summer, but back into the
hard Avood made two years ago. This
hard wood will break out with a great
number of growths. Keep them at from
55 degrees to 60 degrees with frequent
syringing. About the first of June plunge
them to the rim in a frame outdoors in
the full sun. • Some material like old hot-
bed compost will do very well.

In the hottest months one watering a
day may not be enough. Never let them
suffer for water and when you do water
with a hose give them as well a lieavy,
fierce syringing that will keep down spi-
der, thrips, mealy bug, etc.

By the first of July put an inch of
cow manure on the surface of the i)ots.
It will do them much good. Bring into
the house before any danger of early
fall frosts. Spring is the principal time
of growth with Azalea Indica and, there-
fore, they must not be crowded.

Where you have a black mud for soil
or a sandy, peaty soil, occasionally seen,
you can remove the plants from the pots
and plant them out, as they do in Bel-
gium, and lift and repot in fall, but I
think you will find it better to keep them
in pots. W. S.

A Naturally Grown Azalea.

to its termination so will our plans, and
then comes the work of pushing them
forward energetically, lest the following
season be no better than the last, or,
perhaps, not quite so good. Your
records of the number of varieties you
grow and tlie number cut of each kind,
together with the knowledge you have
of what your customers most prefer,
will be the greatest aids to you in de-
termining what kinds to plant and the
proportionate quantities. If you have
been trusting to your memory for these
details, it will be one of your wisest
resolutions for the coming season to
make a New Year resolve, even if late,
to keep the records henceforth so that
hereafter you will know where you
are at.

Memory is Not Accurate

I think I am safe in saying that none
of us have good enough memories to
carry these details accurately enough

ovi?n to go by from year to year; cer-
tainly we cannot after the lapse of two
or three seasons.

T1h> man wlio makes a success of any
l)usiness nuist pay close attention to
details in every point, otherwise a leak,
though small, in some one particular
may be the cause of a failure to make
a profit, even if he be so fortunate as
to come out even, and I take it we are
none of us in business for the sake of
doing this.

1 was reading the following onlv
yesterday, which illustrates my point;
yet how many violet growers can say
definitely how much each plant costs
them, how much it has produced in cash,
how many blooms it has had for the
season, and for each month:

thirtieth year had built up a property worth

fall because, their managers don't kaow what
they are doing. Sounds almost foolish, doesn't
It? But I have seen mine owners and mine
managers come and go — mostly go — good busi-
ness men, shrewd, honest, pushers, good sales-
men. If I asked ten of them the exact cost
of mining a ,toD of coal In their mines on the
preceding day every one of the ten would look
at me in silent wonder &)id ignorance. Yet I
have seen the margin of pruHt on coal so small
that a dllTer(Knce of three cents a ton i,n the
coat of miu|d|| meant the success or failure of
the mine. X'h.t ' ■'

have thafed the mules' necks only one day.

"The mine nianager who gets daily reports

more than twelve hours' loss; he wll^ catch it

"In fact, I place that as the prime requisite
of any success, close touch with details, both in
place and in time."

I quote this not alone for violet grow-
ers, but as being good advice for the
grower of all kinds of stock.

Use a Memorandum Book.

I will admit it is. a little harder for
the grower who is wot making a spe-

minutes, or that you will. rein,ember and
jot it down next time. Of course, at-
tention to all this will avail you naught
if you do not observe the same pains-
taking care in the selection . of your
stock, then in keeping it in., healthy con-
dition as regards air, wafer, feed, etc.

The man who is not a specialist, but
growing only a few borders or a single
house of violets in connection with his
other stQCk, quite likely will bo sur-
prised to find either that they liave paid
him better than he had any idea of;
or, on the contrary, that they have been
occupying room he could better employ
for other crops and purchase his blooms
of a specialist if he is within reasonable
distance of one.

As in all kinds of, plant growing,
there are varied and constantly chang-
ing conditions to be met and reckoned
with. iS^ot always the least trying is
such a winter as the one now drawing
to a close; such rapid changes in the
temperature are trying both to the
plants and your temper, necessitating

be done in a fairly accurate way if
you keep a memorandum book tied with
a string at the door and put down
date and hour every time you work at

attached to the book by a cord, or you
will frequently find yourself without it,

constant watchfulness in regard to
water, air, heat, etc., let alone your
inability to hold your pickings as regu-
lar as you wish, bringing them on rapid-
ly today and choking them off tomor-
row, when you may have a large order
booked.

Watch Next Season's Stock.

It is to be supposed that you have

your stock for next season all rooted
and well under way by this time, but,
as we have so often remarked, do not
neglect these plants now with the spring
work and allow them to suffer for water,
weeding, etc., or you will be liable to
have nicely stunted poor stock when you
do get around to them and thus find your-
self handicapped as regards profit for
next season. An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure and the trouble
is it seldom cures, so watch out. Keep
them growing clean and healthy, remem-
bering that there is no better place for
them to acquire disease than to shove
them under the edges of benches and
such places, thinking you will keep them
there only a few days. If they do not
get diseased, they will get drawn and
soft, so that when you come to plant
out they will be soft and in poor health.

The best of care must be given them
now, right along; extra care later cannot
atone for past neglect. If the young
plants are going to be planted in the
house, without being planted in the field,
it is well to be getting the house in
order whenever you have a little spare
time. If you have been growing other
crops in it arrange it so as to have it
empty some little time before you fill it
for planting, so that you can properly
clean it out, air it out, dry it out, fumi-
gate it heavily several times; whitewash,
lime, paint, repair and freshen it up
generally.

This is the best time also for repair-
ing or making any alterations in the
heating system if it is not right for vio-
lets.

Another thing that you have to take
extra care for now, as the days are get-
ting warmer, is that the red-spider does
not get a foothold; spraying must be
carefully attended to to this end. One
cannot rely on that alone without look-
ing carefully, as they can get quite a
start ere it is noticeable if you do not
examine the under surfaces of the leaves
often. It is next to impossible to get
rid of them absolutely if once they get
started. One is so apt to overwater and
so hurt the plants even if he does eradi-
cate the red-spider.

But enough of this for this time, for
"everybody works at our house" when
Easter comes and probably you are no
exception to the rule, and just hustling
yourself in preparation for this, the
close of the violet season. While I hope
it has^ been a good one, I can sincerely
saj' I hope your next will be much bet-
ter and I believe it will be if the proper
vigilance and care be exercised.

THE COAL STRIK&

Monday, April 2, marked the begin-
ning of the long predicted coal strike,
half a million miners in both the bitu-
minous and anthracite fields going out.
Indications point to a long drawn out
struggle, with much consequent injury
to trade and industry in all directions.
In a few instances operators have agreed
to the scale demanded by the miners and
the men have resumed work. These are
exceptional, however, and limited almost
entirely to the bituminous localities.

The florist 's fuel bill is his big item of
expense and developments in the present
crisis are watched with interest. Evi-
dence of the large consumption of coal
by the grower is found in the statement
that one greenhouse proprietor during
the last year bought 7,000 tons of Poca-
hontas for use in his establishment.

April 5, 1906.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

J 399

Local authorities assert there is coal
on hand in Chicago sufficient to last less
than two months and that the crippling
of business due to the shortage will prove
serious if the strike is prolonged.

DOUBTS VALUE OF NEW BILL.

The proposed bill to authorize the
registration of names of horticultural
products might be likened to a prism,
giving forth many tints but, unfortu-
nately, most of them being of somber
hue.

I can see no objection to the regis-
tration and protection of names applied
to novelties, although the department in
charge would have some difficulty in com-
piling a list of those now appropriated
to some species of plants.

I doubt the feasibility of a proced-
ure such as set forth in section II, where
it is proposed to give exclusive right to
the registrant to propagate for a term
of twenty years.

It must be taken into consideration
that the bulk of the novelties are pur-
chased for the purpose of putting them
upon the market the second year; hence
the question arises, would not the re-
striction from propagation deprive the
originator of his first year's sales?

Further to illustrate this point we will
suppose the Chicago Carnation Co. and
the Thompson Carnation Co. each has
a new variety both of which possesses
equal merit. One of these firms regis-
ters its novelty so it has exclusive right
to propagate for twenty years, which of
course would restrict purchasers of this
variety from propagating until the end
of that time.

The other firm does not register the
variety but offers it to the trade with-
out restraint as to propagation. It is
my opinion the latter firm would out-
strip the former in volume of sales. If
publicity were given to the order books
of such concerns, I am confident that
those ordering from 1,000 to 50,000
would constitute the bulk of the orders,
and, with rare exception, this stock is
procured for the purpose of propagating
and placing upon the market the second
year, while the price is still fairly re-
munerative.

I imagine the firm originating a new
variety and debarring the purchaser the
right of propagation, would stand in
its own light.

Another illustration: If we dissem-
inate a new chrysanthemum, sending
fifty plants each to lOt) of the most
prominent growers, and restrict them
from propagation, the result would be
they would be obliged to come back to
the originator the second year for stock,
and the price realized for the matured
product at the close of the season would
not warrant them in paying a fancy price
the second year. Hence, the raiser, to
induce demand, would be obliged to of-
fer favorable terms and that is practi-
cally what he is doing now.

Assuming these same growers buy
stock the second year, what check would
the originator have on the number of
plants they were actually growing with-
out inspecting their stock? They might
propagate thousands and take chances
on being apprehended.

There is one other point which may
cause some trouble. It is the tendency
many varieties have to sport and there
is the possibility of their sporting in
two localities at or about the same time.
Enchantress carnation has sported to

Clothilde Soupert and Baby Rambler Roses.

white in several places and Mrs. Lawson
to a light pink. The possessor of such a
sport could register it and be entitled
to a certain name but would be obliged
to buy stock in the hands of others to
control the situation. I do not see how
the second party could be prevented
from propagating his sport. It is true
he would have no authority to use the
registered name but if the two were
identical it could be described as such,
disposing of this stock without restric-
tion as to propagation, and thus deprive
the first party of the rights and privi-
leges set forth in said act.

If such an act is to be made law I
would certainly recommend that the term
of twenty years be changed to two
years. In such an event the originator
would have control of the stock the sec-
ond year, and could arrange with those
holding stock to propagate on his ac-
count, thus controlling the price. A
period longer than two years might be
advisable in the case of some species
which are slow of propagation.

The originator of a new variety prac-
tically holds a patent until he places it
upon the market and most firms interest-
ed in novelties generally work up suf-
ficient stock to meet the demand before
it is offered to the public.

To secure sales we must not only as-

sure the purchaser but often prove be-
yond doubt the advantages of acquiring
this new creation. This would be quite
!in undertaking if we restrict propaga-
tion. It would seem like a one sided
proposition to benefit the first rather
than the second party.

Those taking advantage of such an
act as the one proposed would practi-
cally have a trust organized with a
twenty year franchise. This would mean
higher prices to the middle man (the
grower) and if unable to propagate he
must get his returns from the finished
product, namely, the flowers.

Will the dear, good public pay the
bill? That is the question for us to
consider. Elmer D. Smith.

YELLOW AND BLUE.

Can someone tell me how to color
white carnations to make them yellow
and blue? I am anxious to have them
for a class banquet, to match the class
colors. K. E. W.

Yellow carnations are to be had in
the wholesale markets; as for dyeing
them, almost as well use artificial flow-
ers and be done with it. A far better
way would be to use daffodils and
violets.

History of Easter.

We are within a few days of Flora 's
greatest festival. Easter has no sucli
authentic evidence of antiquity as
Christmas; that it existed as a festival
among heathen nations or tribes, nor
can you summon sucli an array of folk
lore to embellish it. Yet there is good
evidence that it was an important event
ages before the sacred events occurred
with which Christianity connects it.

Easter is not mentioned in the New
Testament by any of the apostolic
writers and the determination of the
date on which it should be observed
caused great ruptures in the early
church. The Jewish Christians adhered
to one date, the Latin and gentile Chris-
tians to another. Not till 325 A, D.,
when the so-called Constantine the
Great called the Council of Nice to-
gether, was it agreed by all the prelates
present that it should be observed uni-
versally on the same date; but they
could not decide on any day or week, so
it was referred to the astronomers of
Alexandria, the seat of all astronomical
learning. They only established that
the day of the Crucifixion should be
commemorated on a Friday and the
Resurrection on the Sabbath. As late
as the eighth century the churches of
England and Ireland held the festival
on March 21, the church of Italy on
April 18, and Egypt a week later.

For centuries it was a bitter conten-
tion between the western church
(Rome) and the eastern church (Con-
stantinople), but finally the Roman
church gave way to the eastern church,
and this accounts for the great Russian
nation differing from us and probably
most of the Asiatic churches.

Respects to Constantioe.

Before I close this brief theological
screed I would like to pay my respects
to the great Constantine, looked upon as
the great patron saint of Christianity.
He was born in Northumberland, Eng-
land, and was the son of a Roman gen-
eral of great ability as a warrior and
despot. He dethroned two or three other
profligates who posed as emperors of
Rome and then marched on and built
the great city of Constantinople. Per-
sonally, outside of his ability, he was a
sensual brute, a loafer and several times
a murderer, and only patronized Chris-
tianity because it was a step to tem-
poral power.

What Matters It ?

After all, what matters it about the
date at this late day? We find Asiatic
peoples murdering Jews, totally ig-
norant that the murder and resurrection
of the Young Man whom they commem-
orate, the greatest and purest that ever
lived, was a Jew himself.

No matter the date, the grand central
fact is the world had an example of
what we should all try to be. My own
belief is if you ' ' do unto others as you
would they should do unto you, ' ' you
have compassed all there is in religion

and theology. Ecclesi^sticism has
caused more hypocrisy, cruelty, misery
and murder than all other causes since
feeble man 's advent on this little sphere,
but we are progressing fast.

The nineteenth century was a dandy.
The emancipation of thought and con-
science was greater in that century, a
thousand fold, than are the material
discoveries and inventions, such as loco-
motives, telegraph, telephone, etc. All
of you agreeing with me, we will now
get down to the practical.

The Modem Easter.

It is right and proper we should have
the annual festivals. It makes torpid
minds "sit up and think." The way in
which this festival is kept is as diverse
as the dates have been. In Russia it
may be in killing Jews; in Germany in
the growing of Easter or Ostern eggs,
most likely a survival of the embryonic
symbol of a new life (spring), and as
Germany sticks to medieval mythology
more than any other modern nation, it
is quite harmless. In our own enlight-
ened and blessed land it takes any form
that will gratify the donor and receiver,
and fortunately for our own sentimental
business, it has for a number of years
taken the form of an exchange of na-
ture 's products — a pretty plant or bunch
of flowers.

If Easter came on a fixed date, say
for instance April 15, I don 't know that
we should be much ahead, for the uncer-
tainty of the weather would still exist.

State of Stock.

From what I hear, lilies would be
more plentiful if Easter were a Aveek
later. The scarcity in our town is not
attributed to lateness so much as poor
stock. The disease seems to have spread
to Japan, or else the bulbs are procured
from many different latitudes of this
elongated archipelago. Don't move a
lily from a warm house to one 20 de-
grees cooler unless the buds are white
and ready to burst open. After that
they will expand in almost any tempera-
ture.

Of late we have had many days of
bright sunshine, which has upset ^our
calculations, especially in bulbous stock.
Shading, keeping off the direct rays of
the sun, will help greatly to retard.

Rhododendrons show little sign of
opening their buds, but when they do
start tlxe plant is shortly in full bloom.
The great majority of azaleas will be
sure to be early enough. If that best of
all varieties, Mme, Van der Cruyssen, is
too early, it will keep to put them under
a high bench and cover with tissue
paper. Some years ago we tried the
basement of our ' ' shack " ; it did not
work; the blooms lost their color.

Need for Space.

We are all crowded just now, and you
must manoeuver. Think what is most
valuable to you, and some things not so
important must take a back seat. It
would be cruel and unwise to place a
hybrid perpetual rose at the side of a
path, but it will not hurt a spiraea to
treat it so.

Speaking of the roses, don't expect all

fully, and the most handy at that may
be very dumb as a salesman. Good sales-
men should not be expected to do work
tliat much cheaper help can perform

One of the most anxious and vexa-
tious things connected with these busy
times is the delivery. Ninety per cent
of all our sales have to be delivered;
therefore not the least valuable man on
the place is one who knows the city well
and will not keep the wagon or auto-

Mr. Impatient a 2i')-cent hyacinth. His

the buds to be out at once. It is not
the way of a rose, and your customer
will be far better pleased if two flowers
are about expanded and three or four
buds to come. There is a growing
preference among our people for a plant
with some buds yet to come. They en-
joy seeing the future developments.
This is so, particularly with the azalea.
The Marguerite Queen Alexandra is a
fine thing. We have evidence already
that it is going to sell well. Give it the
fullest light and the buds open quickly.

Be Prepared.

In past years I have taken the liberty
of advising you to be prepared for the
Easter rush, for it is sure to come no
matter what the weather is. I don 't
propose to go into detail now, because
any hints I could give would be an old
story. Be in a perfect state of pre-
paredness and put nothing off to Friday
that can be done on Thursday. Provide
yourself with plenty of proficient help.
Other trades take on a lot of extra help
at certain times, and if it is not as pro-
ficient as your steady help, no harm will
come of it, for your customers, seeing
the place full and a rush of business
going on, will not expect the time and
suavity as in ordinary days. If an
aristocrat is not pleased with that, you
are as well without him.

The trimming or decoration of all
plants sent out nowadays has grown to
be a great feature of the business. The
bill for pajier and boxes for cut flowers
is now as great as our coal bills used
to be, but you cannot escape it. You
must keep to the front in this as well
as other features. The most insignificant
plant now never is sent out or handed
to a customer unless its pot is enveloped
with a white and green paper tied with
silver cord or baby ribbon. As the arti-
cle rises in value the decoration becomes
more elaborate and costly, and if you
do what you ought, you can always
charge sufficient to more than cover the
cost of the embellishment. Many a plant

of humble appearance or imperfect form
is sold through a judicious trimming up.

The Retailer's Troubles.

The retailer, who has only the limited
area of a city store, is terribly con-
gested at Easter, and the man who has
a commodious conservatory at his back,
or the office connected with a range of
glass, can work to much greater advan-
tage, for the latter need not have all his
plants on dress parade. He can have
samples of all in their best togs and
keep replenishing as fast as sold.

Division of labor is a great thing. It
does not take a great schooling to teach

A Summer Cut Flower.

The place the gladiolus occupies in
commercial floriculture is unique inas-
nnich as it is easily and cheaply grown
and comes at a season when all lines
of the florist 's business are dull and
consequently, nuist sell at a moderate
]>rice. Still it is one of the most use-
ful and lasting, most beautiful and easi-
ly handled, of any of the long list of
flowers that come during the months of
August and September.

Gladioli are not partial to quality or
kind of soil, so long as it is full of well-
decomposed vegetable matter, and fine
and mellow. Where a preference can
be given, a rich, sandy loam is best
suited to its needs. They require full
sunlight and must have plenty of mois-
ture at all times; ]>artieularly is this
true from the time the bud first begins
to swell the stalk until full bloom. If
a sheltered location from strong winds
can be given, it is quite a help many

times, as nothing will so use up a flower
spike as a hot, dry wind in August. It
also must necessarily affect the young
spike just coming into bloom.

A medium £ize corm, one about one
and one-fourth inchas in diameter, that
has not bloomed, is the most likely to
produce the finest spike, all conditions
considered. Some of the finest spikes
I ever grew came from corms not over
three-fourths of an inch in diameter.
Corms planted very early take a longer
period to come into bloom than those
planted later. If the first month after
planting be cold and wet, plantings
made the middle of April will not bloom
earlier than those planted the middle of
May. After May 15 a planting of corms
every two weeks up to July 1 will usu-
ally secure a succession of blooms un-
til October 1. Some varieties bloom
much earlier than others. The differ-
ence in blooming between Shakespeare
and May over ' * 1900 ' ' is about two
weeks.

The gladiolus should, for convenience
in cultivating and cutting the blooms,
be planted in furrows or drills about
three feet apart and from two to three
inches apart in the rows. Large corms
may be planted four inches deep, and
smaller sizes less. An inch less in heavy
soil will be about right. The cultiva-
tion should be most thorough and not
very deep after the plants have attained
six inches in height, as by that time the
roots will be occupying the ground and
should be disturbed as little as possible.

Varieties and Cultivation.
The varieties most sought for in the
flower markets are the Ught and soft

shades and ^e brilliant and rich- colors.
Ail colors <ikn be toned down some by
cutting when the first flowers begin to"
open and allowing them to develop in a
place free from the direct light of the
sun. Many varieties attain a most deli-
cate coloring when opened in this way
and when a nearly white variety is al-
lowed to bloom entirely in the sun it
takes on more color. Light varieties
vary some. This is quite noticeable in
the May. A light strain of it is very
beautiful, but an equally true May
growing beside it nay contain so much
color that to a novice it would be de-
clared a distinct variety.

The best stage of growth to cut a
spike for express shipment is whien the
first flower is opening.- The best time of
day is early in the morning, placing the
cut in water in a plaoe free from draft
and direct sunlight. If the flowers are
to be used near-by and :the delivery is
made by wagon, it is quite satisfactory
to allow the spike to develop three or
four flowers before cutting.

Tying the spikes in bunches of twen-
ty-five is desirable where they are to be
handled by the commission houses. These
bunches should be packed in crates suf-
ficiently high to allow them to stand up-
right and of a size tc hola the bunches
compactly, preventing chucking about.

Valuable information as to the proper
handling of the cut stock can be ob-
tained by visiting svj of the wholesale
houses during the season and witnessing
the condition of stock as it arrives from
the different growers and seeing how the
wholesalers and retailers handle it.

CARNATION NOTES.— EAST.

Seasonable Notes.

This is the time of year when many
duties present themselves for considera-
tion by the carnation grower. The sun's
increased power already begins to show
its effect on the more delicate shades of
color, especially in the large glass and
light bar house of today. Buds de-
velop much faster than during the dark
<iays of winter, the surplus side ones
being no exception. The plants, being
possessed of more extended root system,
require more water and March winds
necessitate close attention to the matter
of ventilation; varieties which have
bloorned heavily all winter must needs
have drawn correspondingly on the food
supply of the soil.

The regular work of harvesting, pack-
ing, marketing, attention to young stock,
late propagation, etc., added to the
above, keep one busy if things are to
run smoothly.

Shading serves the double purpose of
lowering the temperature and protection
against fading of color in the blooms.
Although to a certain extent unnatural,
it must be resorted to if we are to tem-
per the likewise unnatural conditions
produced under glass during a portion
of the year. Cheese-cloth suspended well

up over the -plants and arranged so as
to be easily removed during stormy or
cloudy periods, also, in such manner that
the sun's rays are obstructed for three
or four midday hours only, will serve as
a good beginning. This manner of shad-
ing prevents bleaching of color, affect-
ing temperature but little.

Later in the season a light shading
on the inner surface of the glass with a
mixture of whiting and water, or on the
outer surface with white lead and
naphtha, or gasoline, will be necessary.
Either of these mixtures should be
about the consistency of milk when ap-
plied, preferably with a wide brush.
White lead as commonly sold (ground in
oil) is inclined to give the mixture too
much body, as will be found when it is
desired to remove it, which objection
can be overcome by using the dry lead
in powdered form ; mix with the naphtha,
adding a suspicion of linseed oil to
facilitate blending and stir briskly.
Why this works as it does I do not pre-
tend to know, but I discovered acci-
dentally that much labor can be saved.

The secret of success in shading is to
proceed gradually, keeping pace with
the weather, not the season. Disbud-
ding, if neglected for a time, not only
lowers the quality of bloom and unneces-
sarily taxes the plants, but the work of
getting back to normal conditions is
discouraging to the operator in propor-
tion to the time neglected; see to it

that attention to this detail is religious-
ly observed. Watch for any spots in the
soil that dry out before a general wa-
tering is needed; touch these up in
advance, endeavoring thereby to remedy
any tendency to unevenness of moisture
in the bench.

The soil next to the side of bench will
particularly bear close watching. There
is nothing so beneficial to the carnation
as a constantly changing atmosphere,
but this can be easily overdone during
windy spells, causing too rapid trans-
piration, resulting in the plants flagging.

Opinions differ on the question of sup-
plying additional plant food to those
varieties which have given good returns
thus far in the season, but certain it
is that the soil must be somewhat de-
pleted. If we are to maintain good
quality bloom, the question would seem
to be simply what and how to apply; a
matter to be taken up in my next.

CARNATION NOTES.— WEST.

Preparation for Easter.

Ten days after these notes come off
the press will be that biggest of all busi-
ness days for the florist, and prepara-
tions are already being made all over
the country to meet the greatest rush of
the season. If indications count for
anything, the biggest sales on record are
expected this Easter. With any kind of
weather there ought to be an abundance
of stock in all lines, and the main ques-
tion will be about the ability of the
craft to handle the business offered.

The past month has not seen any
warm, bright spell of weather, such as
is usually experienced in March. This
has upset the calculations of the grower
of cut flowers in his endeavor to have a
big crop for Easter. As I said before,
with an average amount of bright
weather during the next ten days there
should be a big cut of blooms. We hear
of some of the smaller growers, whose
crops of carnations are just past the
heaviest mark, but those who grow a
larger variety and quantity all will have
a good cut. It is well that the cut of
blooms is naturally heavier at this time
of the year than it is at Christmas, be-
cause not only is the demand greater,
but the blooms cannot be stored up so
long. If the weather remains cool as it
has been during the past few weeks,
you will have no trouble in holding up
your blooms a week or more; but if it
turns warm, they will not keep in good
condition that long.

In my last week's notes I advised cirt-
ting the blooms close every day, and it
is needless for me to repeat that it is
quite as necessary during this time. In
fact, you will be able to save up a much
larger cut in that way, because by keep-
ing the earlier cut ones a few degrees
cooler they will develop slower, and those
cut the latter part of the week, if kept at
about 55 degrees, will develop more rap-
idly and all will be in fine shape.

I want to caution you to offer only
such stock as is in first-class condition.
By this I do not mean that it should all
grade as fancy. There is always a cer-
tain percentage of inferior stock among
the cut and these must be marketed.
However, if this grade of blooms is
fresh and will stand handling, it will in
many cases prove more satisfactory than
blooms that graded as fancy when cut
but have been kept so long that every
little knock leaves a bruise which, in

the ordinary amount of handling, will
ruin the bloom. It is this latter class
of stock that has made the holiday cut
flower trade suffer more than any other.
Selling that grade of stock is like sell-
ing gold bricks. The public soon be-
comes aware of the fact that the stock
is not fresh, and rather than run the
same risk next time, they will look for
something else, and if it is a flower they
want, it will likely be a plant, because
they know that it is fresh. If the dealer
offers his customers blooms that are of
inferior quality, they can see what they
fire buying, and if they improve in
water, which they will do if they are
fresh, it will please them greatly. It
Avill give the dealer lots of satisfaction,
too (to say nothing of increased trade),
to have his customers return and tell
how well the flowers kept and how large
they grew a few days after they were
received.

It will not harm the plants as much
to raise the night temperature a few de-
grees at this time of the year as it does
at Christmas, because there is more sun-
shine and you can give them more air.
Growth is stronger, too, now and the
evils of an excessive night temperature
are more easily overcome during the
days. However, keep within reason and
go about it gradually, else you will split
many calyxes. A. F. J. Baur.

PLANTS NEED FEEDING.

Our carnations are healthy and luxuri-
ant, but the bloom is pretty small. Is
there any way of increasing the size of
the flower? They were benched too late,
as we know, about November 10. Until
that time they had grown outside. We
are now getting about the first crop of
flowers. They budded very freely — per-
haps carry too many. Since January 1
we have used a little manure water and
have twice treated them to nitrate of
soda, as our soils, to some extent, lack
nitrates. E. & B.

I would advise you to give your car-
nation plants a weekly application of
liquid manure. If you are prepared to
do so, that will improve the bloom con-
siderably. Use about a bushel of toler-
ably new cow manure to 100 gallons of
water and to every second application
add to the solution a half pound of ni-
trate of soda. If you are not prepared
to do this, I would advise you to give
one application of a diluted solution of
nitrate of soda — one pound in 100 gal-
lons of water. Then about a week later
sprinkle on the soil a good coat of
bone flour or dried blood, and imme-
diately put on a mulch of . half-rotten
cow manure about an inch thick. When
this is put on give a good watering and
after that water when needed. The plan
first suggested would perhaps give the
quickest results, but the latter plan, no
doubt, would prove just as good and
would last much longer in its effect. The
best time to have done this feeding
would have been just before the bu^
began to show. Remember that in the
future. A. F. J. Battr.

SNAILS IN CARNATIONS.

Snails are making ravages in my car-
nation benches, and I would like to
know the best method to exterminate
them. The benches are all away from
the wall. The snails are the worst in
the center bench. I am using salt for a

dead line. Please tell us the best way
to use it. R. A. M.

The snails you complain of are one
of the most troublesome pests in the
whole business when they once get a
foothold, and one of the hardest to get
rid of. Salt and lime both have more
or less merit in checking them, but it is
hard to reach them with those two arti-
cles. Either hand picking or poisoning
are the most effective methods. Sugar
and Paris green should be quite effective.
Lay it around the same as you do for

sow-bugs. Sliced potatoes soaked in
arsenic water are also recommended.
Dusting the plants with hellebore or
slug shot will be found another very
effective method. If you employ a night
man, have him look over the plants be-
tween midnight and morning, and he
will find many snails which he can de-
stroy. They are very sluggish and slow
of movement, and with a strong light
he will have no trouble in finding them.
Strong salt water will destroy them if
you can reach them with it.

FOR EXHIBITION.

While there is yet lots of time for
propagating chrysanthemums for cut
flower work generally, and average com-
mercial culture, it is quite time for the
grower intending to exhibit to be get-
ting his stock into shape.

Get in what cuttings you need at once
if you have not yet propagated all you
need, and just as soon as the cuttings
have roots on them half an inch long
get them out into soil so that the future
plant will not be handicapped at the
start by being weakened in the cutting
bench.

Doing things on time and when they
need doing applies to growing mums
perhaps with more force than in grow-
ing any other plant. Leaving the cut-
tings in the sand a week after they
should have been potted means that the
plants will make a very weak, spindly
growth, from which they will not re-
cover for a long time. ' Get them out
just as soon as you can into the light
and air, for the cooler and harder you
can grow the young plants the better
they will be.

In potting up young stock from the
cutting bench use no bone or artificial
fertilizer whatever in the soil, as it will
only do more harm than good by sour-
ing the soil. Get nice fresh loam, and
if you can add to it a third of rotted
leaf, you would have an ideal compost
for a first potting. If leaf-mold cannot
be procured, some decayed cow manure
is perhaps the next best thing, as it will
help to lighten the soil.

Loam alone, without the addition of
any other matter, is crude, and while the
young roots will run in it, they will not
run nearly so quickly, nor will the plants
ever have such a look of perfect health,
as they will from the use of a little leaf
soil.

We are apt to laugh sometimes at the
old country ideas of compost and secret
formulas for growing different kinds of
plants, and while much of it was un-
doubtedly foolish and unnecessary, the
underlying principle of assisting a
young and delicate plant alpng by a
careful preparation of the soil will al-
ways hold good in practice.

Ventilation.

We must remember in handling the
young plants that we are dealing with

a plant that is almost hardy, and that
air, and an abundance of it, is very
necessary as soon as the plants arc suf-
ficiently established. Many modern es-
tablishments have a house with siile and
top air, where young chrysanthenuinis
and carnations can be kept down to any
temperature desired.

[f you have not got such a house, a
cold frame is almost as good. A cold
frame is really the very best place after
April 1 for young stock of this descrip-
tion, because there the plants are riglit
away from fire heat, and on bright,
warm days the sash can be taken off en-
tirely and the plants will show in a
week, by the rich dark color of the
leaves, how they appreciate their con-
ditions.

I like to have plants in good shape
for planting on the benches by the sec-
ond week in May, which is now a mat-
ter of some five week's time. If some
of the plants were progagated in Febru-
ary and are now running up and the
pots are full of roots it will be far l)et-
ter to pot on into 4-inch or even G-inch
pots than to permit the plants to get
stunted before planting time. If plants
are boxed up instead of being i)otte(l
they draw up very quickly and it gen-
erally pays to pot each " plant l)efore
planting time.

Dwarf varieties, of which we liave to-
day a considerable number, such as
Merza, Mrs. W. Duekham, Nellie Pock-
ett, Merstham Red, J. H. Doyle, Chel-
toni and Lady Ilopetown, should not
be topped any more. They will not
grow over four feet high anyway, but
there are some tall plants thrit may lie
kept pinched back till May 1. and by
this means can be held down to a reason-
able height. Cases in point are Gen-
eral Hutton, the Batons, Ben Wells, S.
T. Wright, the Carnots and :\lrs. D. V.
West.

The careful exhibitor has a record of
heights of his varieties and knows where
he is at, and a reliable disseminator of
new kinds always gives, so far as he
can, the average height and general char-
acteristics of a variety, so that a little
study of the yearly lists is time well
spent.

Novelties.

When plants of the new kinds are re-
ceived nine growers out of ten take off
the top to increase the stock as much as

possible. This is all right when the
plants arc strong enough to stand it, but
it is a serious mistake to go to excess
in this and then blame the introducer
for sending out a worthless variety. As
a matter of fact the blame lies with
the buyer, who has killed the natural
vigor of the plant by propagating it to
death. This happened in one case to
my knowledge last year with Mrs. Wil-
liam Duckham, and in such cases the
blame should be placed where it be-
longs.

Flies on Plants.

At this season, when plants are seen
to have flies on them, one is apt to
leave them, as they are not numerous
enough to demand fumigating, yet more
than there should be for the health of
the plant. Dust them over with the to-
bacco prepared expressly for this pur-
pose, which is the very best thing to
use. It takes little time and is very
effective. A stitch in time saves nine.

THE PRODIGAL RETURNS.

It coultl not be said that the boss
' ' fired ' ' Jaggs — he permitted him mere-
ly to sift out of the adjacent landscape.

It may be that the moral tone of the
establishment was distinctly improved by
his absence — it is true the night fireman
showed a tendency to lessen the monoto-
ny of his evenings by going to revivals
when he was supposed to be on duty —
but there is no question that Jagg's de-
parture cast gloom over the Lonesome-
hurst greenhouses.

Time passed slowly on; the horticul-
tural graduate had retired to an agri-
cultural college and Davie had taken
a solemn farewell to the entire estab-
lishment and started on his threatened
visit to Greenock. Even Tommy had
grown restive and talked morosely of
retiring across the Atlantic to the pater-
nal chandler's shop in Camberwell.

The place was short-handed, one of
the boilers persisted in suffering from
general debility every cold night, and
the boss acquired such a constitutional
"grouch" that the greenhouse cat took
to dodging under a bench at the sound
of his distant footstep.

' ' Talk about cheerfulness, ' ' groaned
Tommy, turning his tobacco box upside
down to extract the last grain of con-
solation therein, ' ' I believe a second
'and morgue would be joyouser than this
'ere bloomin ' old sepulchre. What does
a chap break into the florist business
for, anyway ? ' '

The propagator modestly admitted that
the habit of eating three meals a day

was responsible for his entry into the
trade, but Tommy continued to mutter
savagely while he stripped some loose
scraps from a bundle of tobacco stems,
to oke out the dottle smouldering in his
old briar pipe.

The wind howled around the potting
shed, blowing aside the burlap portieres
arranged to cover the cracks around the
windows. Suddenly Cinders, the unre-
generate terrier attached to the green-
house force, deserted his special corner
of the ashpit, and rushed wildly to the
door.

"If I didn 't know as Davie was
gone, ' ' remarked Tommy doubtfully,
' '■ and Jaggs — ' '

The door opened with a jerk and the
terrier began to jump with yelps of joy
at two snow-sprinkled figures.

"Well, of all the — Davie, you old
ruffian, 'ave you been gettin' Jaggs out
0' jail?"

"Ellis Island," remarked Jaggs, un-
abashed. ' * Wanted to keep me out o '
the bloomin ' country, along of a lot o '
Dagoes and Skowagians, when I've been
over here long enough to vote four times
at one election."

" 'Twas a lad on the Anchoria, " ex-
plained Davie, "tell't me there's a lad
I know that's in a fair way to be sent
back, so I just got him awa'. "

"And what's the matter with your
goin ' back yourself?" asked the propa-
gator.

* ' Well, ' ' remarked Davie, philosophi-
cally, "Greenock '11 keep a wheen long-
er. '■'

With that Davie began to draw a suit
of frayed overalls over his decent Sun-
day blacks, and passing around a plump
tobacco pouch, settled down in his old
corner. Jaggs looked affectionately at
the dusty rafters, whence the young owl
Tommy was educating looked down sus-
piciously.

"Well," said he, "there ain't no
place like 'ome after all. Many's the
time I've thought o' this 'ere pottin'
shed, while I was dodgin' wolves and
snow leopards, and savages, over there
t'other side of the Himalayas,"

' ' Them Himalayas down around Snake
Hill?" asked Tommy, pleasantly.

"Many's the time I've said to my-
self, ' ' continued Jaggs, affectionately
shying a lump of coal at Tommy, "when
I was tryin' to hold on to my hair while
I was slidin' down a precipice 14,00P
feet high, 'well, it's Jersey for mine if
I ever get out o ' this ! ' Leaky boilers
and busted hose ain't near as mussy as
fallin' into extinct volcanoes, and say,
I'll bet even money that all the plagues
of Egypt drifted out to Tibet, includin'
the chilblains."

"But how did you get to Tibet?"
asked the new fireman.

"Walked, o' course," responded Tom-
my. "Drive ahead. Jaggs, old boy, and
tell us all about it."

"It were this way, ye see," explained
Jaggs; "when they was sendin' that
chap out from London to hunt up new
plants in the Forbidden Land, as them
Chinks call it, I just naturally went
along. I reckon I've told you about tak-
in' a little jaunt up there once before,
huntin' rhododendrons; there's a blue
rhododendron up there that ain't never
been brought to Europe yet — don't sup-
pose it ever will, unless I take a notion
to go and get it. That's where I learned
to talk their lingo that sounds like
choppin' hash in a wooden bowl. A
scientific gent as I met in Kashmir once
tells me as I speaks them foreign dia-
lects pretty near as grammatical as I
speaks my own; we'd have been in a
tight place now and then if it wasn't
for that.

' ' 'Course, most o ' the chaps that goes
to Tibet makes for Lassa and they ain't
runnin' any Cook's tours around them
diggin's yet, either, but we made for
the open country where we'd heard about
some kind o' tree sunflower with flow-
ers tvvo feet across. O' course, them na-
tives is such horrid liars as you can't
believo the half o ' what they tells you.
Dirty, too; some o' them looked like they
hadn't been washed for 400 years.

* ' We 'adn 't gone far before Johnson
and me decided that while we didn't
want to cause any 'ard feelin's, we just
'ad to wash the cook. So I made some
o' the bearers undress him and start to
scrub him with a birch besom. And,
d'ye know, after they'd been scrubbin'
away for fifteen minutes they come
down to another suit o ' clothes !

* ' Johnson seemed to have a notion it
wasn 't lucky to wash that cook, and
maybe he was right, for blessed if that
there artist didn't light out that night,
after tryin' to vaccinate me with a
bowie knife. Still, as I says to John-
son, he'd have killed us with his cookin'
anyway, if he'd stayed.

' ' As things turned out, we didn 't 'ave
anythink to cook most o ' the time, as we
spent a month or two playin ' tag over
the mountains with a lot o ' whiskery
gentlemen that looked like Shems and
Japhets out o ' some toy Noah 's ark.

They seemed to have some nasty idea
about carvin' us up into individual por-
tions, if they could ever lay their claws
on us, and we didn't like it.

' ' The hotel accommodations was miser-
able, too; sometimes there was a rock
to crawl under, and sometimes there
wasn't, and I must say that after eatin'
dry flour and tea for a week or two we
both got pretty tired o' the bill o' fare.

"I must say, too, that Johnson began
to complain of his chilblains most out-
rageous; he says if you give him his
choice between chilblains and bubonic
plague he'll take the plague every time.
I told him, soothin' like, that the plague
'd be fatal, and he says that's why he
prefers it to chilblains. He seemed
bloomin' vexed, too, along of a snow
leopard that kep' hangin' around tryin'
to rush us when we wasn't lookin'. He
says those chaps in London seemed to
expect two much for two pound ten a
week. ' '

"Well," remarked the propagator,
solemnly, "it seems to me he was en-
titled to make a kick. But wasn't there
nothing but rocks and savages?"

' * There was, ' ' returned Jaggs, with
feeling, "there was mountains and rag-
in' torrents, and extinct volcanoes, and
a whole mess o' wolves that give us a
circus performance every night. When
the leopard wasn't on duty the wolves
was. I s'pose they thought a brace of
nice, juicy plant collectors was a real
treat.

* ' Johnson said arter all he felt sorry
for them poor wolves; we wasn't neither
of us in prime condition, and two chaps
like us wouldn't go far in that bunch,
even if they made a fair divvy. I didn't
like his way of lookin' at it, but then
the poor fellow seemed low in his mind.
He kept talkin' about all the plant col-
lectors he'd known that was drowned
in shipwrecks, and eat by crockydiles,
and bit by cobras, and done up by
cholery and cannibals; you'd have
thought me and him was the only chaps
left in the business, and he didn't seem
to think we was extra salubrious. When
it came to shakin' hands with calamity,
Johnson was all to the mustard.

"Well, as I was sayin', we kept cir-
clin' around over the rocks and snow,
never knowin' whether we'd bring out
at Omaha or the North Pole; we'd lost
count of dates and about all we thought
of was takin' plenty of exercise and
keepin' a few laps ahead of the native
population. Johnson reckoned that if it
kept up much longer he'd be ready to
sympathize with one o' them Standard
Oil chaps dodgin* a subpoena server.

"One day we was restin' a bit on the
side of one o ' them mountains ; nothink
but snow and rocks and more mountains,
as far as we could see. There was a
precipice in front and how we was goin'
to climb down we didn't know. We
was standin' on the snow, just lookin'
around, when I hears a stone rattle
down, and there above us was six of
them savages with their carvin' knives
ready, tryin' to sneak up behind us!
And what struck me as bein' quite a
joke on them natives, there was a pack
o* wolves, thirty or forty, sneakin' up
behind, tryin ' to corner them ! ' '

Jaggs stopped to fill his pipe, after
demanding a broom straw to improve
its drawing qualities.

"But you couldn't get away down
the precipice, ' ' said the fireman anxious-

"That's precisely what Johnson says

to me," continued Jaggs. "We made
a rush forward, and the next thing we
know that there snow field was slidin'
down hill like shootin' the chutes. I
see a big ravine with a ragin' torrent at
the bottom, but we took it like a bird,
and after that I didn't know nothink
for a while. The next thing I know
I hear Johnson askin' if any gent 'ad
come across his collar button, and a big
red-headed Scotchman pulls me out of a
mess o' snow and tells me I was tres-
passin' on private property. Say, I
reckon me and Johnson busted all the
speed limits for sure on that trip. ' '

"And where were ye?" asked Davie,
sympathetically.

"Oh, somewhere in the suburbs o'
China, ' ' responded Jaggs, carelessly.
"That wasn't nothink to what come
afterwards, gettin' down to the coast.
Why—"

The door opened and the boss looked
in, remarking cheerfully: "It's about
time you chaps turned in," and the de-
serted potting shed was soon left to the
lonesome night man and the sympathetic
terrier.

PHILADELPHIA SPRING SHOW.

The Pennsylvania Horticultural So-
ciety's spring show was held in its home.
Broad street, near Locust, on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of last week.
The array of blooming plants was a
feature. The specimen azaleas, bougain-
villeas and spiraeas showed admirable
culture. A handsome specimen genista
was declared the finest plant on exhibi-
tion. The beds of hyacinths in variety.

grown in pots and set in moss, com-
peting for the special prize, were very
effective. There were some well grown
calla lilies with a profusion of bloom,
many well grown Easter lilies, evidently
from selected bulbs, and all varieties of
bulbous stock. Geraniums were shown
in quantity, and, from out of town, a
choice collection of orchids and a few
new carnations.

The following were the principal
prize winners: John Hobson, gardener
to Edward A. Schmidt, Radnor; William
Robertson, gardener to John W. Pepper,
Jenkintown; Samuel Batchelor, gardener
to C. B. Newbold, Jenkintown; Joseph
Hurley, gardener to James W. Paul, Jr.,
Radnor; John McCleary, gardener to
Mrs. R, J. C. Walker, Germantown, Phil-
adelphia; John Hedland, gardener to
Mrs. W. L.. Elkins, Elkins Park; Fred
Huggler, gardener to George Vaux, Bryn
Mawr; Thomas J. Holland, gardener to
H. B. Rosengarten, Malvern; William
Kleinheinz, gardener to P. A. B. Wid-
ener, Ogontz; Daniel Neely, gardener to
Craige Lippincott, Meadowbrook; A. Q.
Williams, gardener to Samuel T. Bodine,
Villa Nova; John H. Dodds, gardener to
H. S. Hopper, Narberth; Arthur Mal-
lon, Jr., gardener to Edgar T. Scott,
Lansdowne; F. W. Barclay, gardener to
C. A. Griscom, Haverford; James Cole-
man, gardener to W. Lippincott, Bryn
Mawr; Thomas Gaynor, gardener to
Mrs. John B. Stetson, Ashbourne.

A certificate of merit was awarded
to H. R. Carlton, Willoughby, O., for
new violet, Governor Herrick. This is
a large single violet and has proved in
this exhibition to be a good keeper. A

With that Davie began to draw a suit
of frayed overalls over his decent Sun-

tobacco jKiiieh, settled tlown in his old
corner, .laggs looked alfeetioinitely at
the ilusty rafters, uheuce the young owl
Tommy was educating loidied down sus-
piidously,

"Weil," said he, "there ain't no
place like 'onio after all. Many 's the

snow leopards, and savages, over there
t'other side of the Himalayas."

''Them Himalayas down around Snake

shying a lump of eotil at Tommy, "when
1 ',vas tryin ' to hold on to my hair while

I'll bet even money that all the plagues
of Kgypt drifted out to Tibet, ineludin'
the chilblains."

•T.ut how did you get to Tibet?"'
asked the new fireman.

"Walkeil, o' course," responded Tom-
my. ''Drive ahead, Jaggs, old boy, and
tell us all about it."

"It were this way, ye see," explained
Jaggs ; ' ' when they was sendin ' that

FUMIGATING.

Hydrocyanic Acid Gas,

"We have been having much trouble in
fumigating with the - nicotine prepara-
tions. In a large house we find that our
men cannot paint the preparations on
the hot steam pipes going entirely
around the house, as is necessary, before
the air becomes charged with the fumes
and several of them have suffered se-
verely. As a result we have been experi-
menting with hydrocyanic acid gas. We
find that it works excellently in fighting
thrips in rose houses, although we have
used it in no very exact proportions.
The first time we tried it we used flower
pots with the drainage hole plugged with
a cork and covered with a little cement.
I stood in the door of the greenhouse and
noted that the moment the acid ate
through the tissue paper wrapped around
the cyanide the liquid boiled violently
and overflowed the pot. How large a
receptacle should be used and is there
a loss if the liquid boils over? I have
since been told that I was exceedingly
careless standing in the greenhouse door
and watching the operation. How quick-
ly is the gas generated and how rapidly
does it spread? Is it heavier or lighter
than the atmosphere? In other words,
would a man who felt himself being
overcome with the gas save himself by
dropping to the floor? R. G.

Our experience has shown that hydro-
cyanic acid gas is not a good insecticide
for rose houses. It does not kill thrips
readily and is very injurious to the
young growth on roses.

The gas, while only a little lighter
than air, spreads quite rapidly through
a greenhouse. A house 100 feet long
and twelve feet wide, walls three feet,
seven feet to the ridge, with three jars
would be filled with gas in about two
minutes. Such a house would require,
say for violets, about two pounds of
ninety-eight per cent cyanide of potash.
This would be divided into three parts,
each portion put in a 2-pound light ma-
nila paper sack. Starting at one end,
these sacks can be placed in the jars
containing the sulphuric acid and water,
and the length of time required for the
acid to eat through the paper would
give the operator sufficient time to get
to the others and out of the house safely.
The acid will eat through cork, so that
the flower-pot with the drainage hole
plugged with cork would not be a good
vessel to liberate the gas.

The correspondent can obtain full in-
formation regarding the use of hydro-
cyanic acid by writing the Department
of Agriculture, "Washington, D. C, and
requesting Circular No. 37 (revised edi-
tion) of the Division of Entomology.

Nicotine Preparations.

For thrips in rose houses fairly good
results can be obtained by vaporizing the
stronger nicotine preparations, either
over single-burner oil-stoves or by drop-
ping into the solution pieces of hot iron.
A good-sized hot flat-iron, for example,
wiU vaporize about a pint of nicotine
extract. For a rose house 100 feet long,
eighteen feet wide and ten feet high
to the ridge, a pint and a half to two
pints of a good nicotine tract vaporized
at intervals of a few days will usually
destroy thrips.

If the stronger extracts are to be
painted on the pipes, the work should
be done when the pipes are cool. If
steam is used in heating the houses the

■r

'is^t.

Primula VeriS in a Unique Receptacle.

pipes could be allowed to cool down suf-
ficiently in the middle of the day on a
warm day, so that the work could be
done without so much discomfort to the
men.

A good way, where the stronger ex-
tracts are used, is to have a number of
vaporizing tanks fitted over the steam
pipes or rather attached to the pipes so
that the pipes will run through them,
having from three to five of these va-
porizing troughs in a house 100 feet
long and eighteen feet wide. The nico-
tine solution can then be poured into the
vaporizing troughs, and the hot pipes
will throw it into the atmosphere.

"Various other methods of vaporizing
are used, but these suggestions will prob-
ably be sufficient. A. F. Woods.

WITH THE GROWERS.

Budlong, Sons & Co., Providence.

One of the largest establishments in
the east is that of J. A. Budlong, Sons
& Co., at Auburn, near Providence, E. I.
"Until a little over three years ago the
firm was noted as one of the biggest
producers of vegetables for the market,
pickling varieties being their specialty.
These they still grow on an immense
scale, having some 1,500 acres under
cultivation, but whereas a few years ago
several miles of sashes were devoted
to lettuce culture, this branch has been
reduced somewhat and all greenhouses
are given up to cut flower production
with the exception of one large structure
from which a crop of rhubarb is taken
to be followed by flowers in early spring.
Between the vegetable farms, pickle and
vinegar factories and greenhouses an
army of 600 to 700 men and women are
on the pay rolls at the height of the
busy season.

Although so short a time has elapsed
since the firm launched into the cut
flower business, they have built up one
of the finest plants in the country. Sev-
eral of the long, rather low lettuce
houses are given up to carnation culture,
the roses occupying the newer ones, these
latter being of the most up-to-date types.
The largest house, 60x700, is one of the
finest in the country. It contains nearly
19,000 Brides and Bridesmaids. One
house is 40x700 and two others 22x700.
There are two 40x450, one 40x412 and
several of smaller size. In regard to va-
rieties, Brides and Maids to the number
of 50,000 are planted, the latter having
a slight preponderance, 7,500 Killarney,
5,000 Chatenay, 6,000 Liberty, 3,000
Morgan and 3,000 Golden Gate ' are
grown. The last named does well, but
will not be grown again, owing to an
uncertain call for it.

Richmond will be tried next year to
the extent of 3,000 plants. Several thou-
sand Kaiserin lifted from the benches,
pruned back and potted up will be
benched shortly for summer blooming.
Wm. White, the manager of this estab-
lishment, is a graduate under Alexan-
der Montgomery at Waban Conservato-
ries. He has certainly done wonders
during his short stay here, for stock
in all the houses is in excellent condi-
tion. There are few commercial places
kept so neatly and to those who imagine
that second rate goods are raised here
a visit wiU be an eye opener. A house
containing 20,000 grafted stock for this
season's planting contained as perfect
a lot as anyone could wish to see.

Carnations fill quite a number of

houses, two 30x500 and several of smaller
size. Only a few sorts are grown and
these in quantity. Lawson is a prime
favorite and succeeds finely. One house
containing 13,000 plants was a fine sight.
Enchantress is quite at home and carried
grand stems, being in big demand. In
whites, Boston Market is finer than we
have ever seen it. A big house of it was
a sheet of bloom, stems long and stiff.
Some White Lawson is grown, but it
falls far below Boston Market. A batch
of rather odd deep-pink-striped Enchant-
ress and one of Bed Lawson, both origi-
nating here, complete the list of varie-
ties grown. Young stock for next sea-
son looked first-class, a big house con-
taining 65,000 boxed off plants being
a perfect picture to look upon.

Heating is by steam, three 150 horse-
power boilers being used. In addition
the steam from two boilers of similar
size used for a vinegar factory can be
utilized at night. An additional 200
horse-power boiler can be harnessed if
needed. In spite of the long distance
some of the houses are from the boilers
the heating is done very satisfactorily.
The rose houses in the large block
are connected by corridor through the
center, making them very easy of access,
one from another.

While some flowers are shipped to
New York, the bulk are shipped to Bos-
ton, where three salesmen, Messrs. Mal-
ley, McAlpine and Glidden, at the faxk
street market, are kept busy. With tne
constant additions being made here, the
Budlong plant will soon be the largest
of its kind in the east. The general
excellence in all departments speaks vol-
umes for the skill of the worthy mana-
ger, who, like most of good growers,
is very modest and unassuming.

NOTES ON LETTUCE.

Greenfly.

I note Mr. Croydon's answer to W.
E. B. on the best method of keeping
greenfly from lettuce. Owing to the
great danger in handling hydrocyanic
acid gas, it would seem to me to be im-
practicable in many places; for instance,
where the boiler room has connection
with the greenhouses. For one, I would
hesitate to use such deadly stuff to kill
a little greenfly and I am sure there
are many of the same opinion. To
these I want to say: Use tobacco dust
on your lettuce. Begin in the seed box
and continue until within ten days of
cutting. Dust it on by a quick motion
of the hand, throwing it six feet above
the plants, thus allowing it to settle

evenly. I dust a bed 12x60 feet in two
minutes. It is washed off by the first
touch of water and, when plants are
dry apply again.

My experience is that lettuce should
not be watered often, but thoroughly.
The so-called lettuce rot is encouraged
by continued dampness. When I can
see but little of the ground between
the plant, thus indicating that there is
sufficient air circulation to insure plants
drying, I water thoroughly for the last
time. This washes off the last dust and
a couple of light smokings will answer
until the lettuce is cut. Though warned
of the ravages of this insect, by this
treatment 1 have kept the bed perfectly
clean with no trouble and very little

Begarding tho lettuce rot, which has
been shot at so much by the big guns
that it seems idle for me to shoot at
all; even the governor has fired away
and promised a variety so vigorous as to
be immune.

I recall that during the war the sol-
diers were troubled with scurvy, caused
by the lack of some ingredient in their
very limited menu. Then, too, some of
our "upper ten," who have more cents
than sense, have the gout, caused by
their unlimited menu. Might it not be
that in our anxiety to force our lettuce
by means of very rich soils, nitrate of
soda and other concentrated fertilizers,
we give them the gout or scurvy or both
and thus render them susceptible to dis-
eases they would otherwise escape?

It is a principle in medicine that a
heaMhy man may wai'd off even contagious
diseases; the deadly germs not being
able to find green pasture, die of star-
vation. Why is not the same principle
true in plant life? Might we not escape
many of the ills of plant life, if we
looked more to such fertilizers as would
produce a perfect plant as nature in-
tended, rather than the watery, loose
tissued things we often find? And
again, there was much complaint in this
market la.st winter about the lettuce be-
ing in some cases insipid in flavor and
in others of pronounced flavor not usu-
ally found in lettuce. To such extent
were these manifest that many refused
to buy hothouse lettuce, claiming it to
be unfit to eat.

Should Seek Flavor Also.
Now, I hold there is something wrong
somewhere. Is it in these scientific
remedies, or stimulants; which? We
of the glass-houses should seek to pro-
duce an article not only of size but of
flavor. Good butter has that which
makes it good — its flavor. Bad butter
has its flavor. The same is true of let-

tuce. Not all lettuce is lettuce. Some
is only grass.

I am a ' ' greenfly ' ' at growing lettuce,
but by means of good potting soil, I
have had no rot, but have produced
three crops that have been pronounced
the finest flavored, most durable lettuce
ever sold in the markets I have sup-
plied. S. C. T.

TOMATOES.

The accompanying illustration shows
the last planting of the season, on which
the first fruits are just showing color.
The variety is Lorillard, the old stand-
by, which we find the most reliable, as
it will succeed under conditions where
others would fail, or at least fail to give
really good results. We find that it can
be grown, if desired, at a temperature
at least 5 degrees lower than most of
the other varieties. Of course, at a
temperature of 55 degrees growth will
naturally be slower than at 60 degrees,
but it will set freely and produce just
as good fruit. If the higher tempera-
ture can be given it, so much the better,
but it sometimes happens that the com-
mand of heat is not so good as might
be desired, and in cold spells the house
is apt to run a bit low. Under such con-
ditions Lorillard is the variety to grow.
We have seen it succeed where Stirling
Castle, a free growing and free setting
variety under suitable conditions, has
failed to give a satisfactory crop.

Lorillard is sometimes inclined to
come a bit rough in the fruit. Some at-
tribute this trouble to insufficient pol-
lination, but our observation leads us
to believe that it is due more to rank-
ness of growth. Most varieties of toma-
toes are rampant growers when allowed
free scope in regard to root space and
all are more or less inclined to come
rough in the flower. Bough flowers
usually result in rough fruit, as the pis-
til, in place of being round, as it would
be in a well-formed flower, comes more
or less flat shaped, and unevenly formed
fruits inevitably follow. Lorillard per-
haps is as bad an offender in this re-
spect as any of them, but by confining
the roots to a limited space and checking
the rank growth, much can be accom-
plished in the way of producing well-
shaped fruits.

The plants here illustrated are grown
in boxes thirty inches long, nine inches
wide, and eight inches deep. These
boxes accommodate three plants nicely
when grown to single stems, and we very
seldom have much trouble with badly
shaped fruits.

In the selection of seed also the
trouble may be eliminated to a great
extent by selecting well-formed fruits

for seed purposes. As quite a number
of seeds can be procured from one well-
ripened tomato, it does not take so
many fruits to give a supply of seed for
quite a large forcing establishment. We
usually save the seed from the late
spring crop, as the weather conditions
which prevail at the time they are set-
ting are more congenial to the proper
fertilizing of the flowers than in the
case of the earlier crops. Hence a larger
percentage of the seed is sure to be fer-
tile and well developed.

PIPES FOR HOT WATER.

Will a boiler four feet long and thirty
inches in diameter, with eleven 3-inch
flues, be large enough to heat one green-
house 20x60? By using an expansion
tank how shall I run the pipes? The
house will have glass in the east gable
and none in the walls. It is sheltered on
the west by boiler shed and is two feet
in the ground. I wish to run the pipes
under the outside benches. I wish to
use hot water. S. C. C.

If the boiler in question is an upright
tubular boiler with fire box built in the
shell, so that the fire has a water jacket
about it, the boiler probably will carry
400 to 450 feet of radiation. The house
in question, to be run at 60 degrees, will
require 400 feet of radiation and at 70
degrees wiU require 450 feet. If 2-inch
pipes are used, 640 lineal feet will sup-
ply 400 square feet of radiation. . This
is equivalent to saying eleven lines of
pipe the length of the house. A 2-inch
flow can be arranged under each side
bench, one of these flows to supply four
and the other to supply five 2-inch re-
turns. The flow pipes should be run
from the boiler to the far end of the
house and there enter a manifold carry-
ing the returns, four in one case and
five in the other. The boiler is a pretty
close fit and does not allow much of a
margin for safety. L. C. C.

SHADING A PALM HOUSE.

I would beg leave to^ ask through the
columns of your valued paper if any of
your readers has had experience with
painting glass on the inside of palm
houses for the purpose of shading them,
and if it can be recommended? Also
what was used? H. D. C.

It is not a good practice to paint the
inside of the glass on a palm house for
the purpose of shading, from the^ fact
that under such conditions the shading
would remain on the glass for the whole
year, and the plants would be likely to

become thin and drawn from being kept
so dark throughout the winter. The
shading would also become more dense
after a time from the gradual accumula-
tion of dirt on the glass and would
therefore be decidedly unsatisfactory.

If inside shading should be decided
upon, it would be much better to tack
up cheese-cloth or thin muslin, such as
may be had from the seedsmen for three
or four cents per yard.

One of the most satisfactory shading
paints for outside use is composed as
follows: Whiting, six pounds; white
lead, three pounds; boiled linseed oil,
one quart, and kerosene, two gallons.
This may be applied with a whitewash
brush, and may need renewing twice dur-
ing the season, or three coats altogether.
Some seasons two coats may be enough,
this depending largely upon the number
of heavy storms during the summer.
Whatever may remain until winter will
be removed by the action of frost and
snow, thus giving light during the latter
season.

A mixture of white lead and naphtha
is also much used for this purpose.

BOSTON CLUB'S HELD DAY.

About sixty members of the Boston
Gardeners' and Florists' Club attended
the field day on March 31 at the estab-
lishments of W. W. Edgar and Peirce
Bros. A special car left Park square
with the party at 12:30, returning at
5:30 p. m. Mr. Edgar's place at Wav-
erly was first visited.

W. V. Edgar's, Waverly.

Potted plants are chiefly handled here
and are in all cases remarkably well
grown. Lilies were in prime condition
for Easter, some 8,000 being in flower
or ready to open. A small percentage
only had shown disease this season,
which is better than some growers can
report.

Azaleas are grown in large numbers.
• Over 10,000 are handled during the sea-
son, the majority being for Easter. A
few sorts noted in quantity were Flam-
beau, Empereur Du Bresil, Mme. Van
der Cruyssen, Dr. Moore, Empress of
India, Bernard Andre alba and quite a
few of the bright little Firefly were also
seen. Crimson Rambler and Baby Eam-
bler roses are grown in large numbers.

Some beautiful little plants of the lat-
ter were seen. The color is very much
paler than the Crimson Rambler, but as
a dwarf pot plant it is excellent. Quite
a number of hybrid perpetuals were also
coming into flower.

Acacia armata, lilacs. Spiraea com-
pacta and S. astilboides and hydrangeas
were all coming in nicely. Large num-
bers of genistas, heavily bloomed from
specimen size downward, should sell well.
Thousands of geraniums and other bed-
ding plants are grown. Many of the
former were well bloomed, especially
the scarlet shades.

Eclipse tomato trained up the posts in
some of the warmer houses was yielding
a fine lot of marketable fruit. Ferns
are grown in large numbers. Adiantums
for cutting are grown in beds. Such
sorts as Cyrtomium falcatum, Pteris
cretica and other useful varieties for
fern dishes are heavily grown. Some
Dendrobium Phalsenopsis Schroederiana
evidenced a possible start in orchid cul-
ture. Some excellent mignonette, quan-
tities of narcissi in pans and other stock
was also seen.

Refreshments were served by Mrs. Etl-
gar and family, and three rousing cheers
given to Mr. Edgar. A photograph of
the members was taken by David Lums-
den, the manager, before a move was
made to Mr. Edgar's new establishment,
a few minutes' walk distant.

Here two houses have been built. One
40x200 is filled with cucumbers in full
crop, eight rows of plants being grown.
Another, just completed by Lord &
Burnham, is also planted with cucumbers.
Instead of wires and twine, as is gen-
erally employed, wide-meshed netting
six inches square is used to tie the plants
to. This is inexpensive and is found to
answer admirably. Burnham boilers are
used for heating, the Holly-Castle cir-
culator being also found of great ben-
efit.

There is an abundant water supply
here, excellent facilities for warming
water before using it, also liquid ma-
nure and excellent soil on the estate.
The situation also is ideal for a com-
mercial plant. Here, no doubt, at nu
distant date Mr. Edgar will center his
whole plant. Some nursery stock is
grown. A large shed is filled with bay
trees and a cellar of mushrooms from
milltrack spawn in the rear of the bay
tree shed carried as fine a crop as we
have ever seen. The Edgar establish-
ment is up-to-date in every way. Father
and sons are all wide awake, and with so
good a manager as Mr. Lumsden there
is no likelihood of its holding anything
but a front position in the future as it
has in the past.

Peirce Bros., Waltham.

Messrs. Allan and Herbert W. Peirce
conducted the members to their big plant
in Waltham after leaving Mr. Edgar's.
The first houses inspected were new ones
built last season, each 36x3U0 and filled
with carnations. These have the ever-
lasting tile benches, and each hold some
12,000 plants. Several other houses are
also devoted to carnations, over G0,000
being grown altogether. The principal
sorts handled are Lawson, Enchantress,
Mrs. Patten and Gov. Guild. The latter
is a very promising scarlet seedling
raised here and filled one large house.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

April 5, 1906.

Queen, Boston Market, White I^awson,
Flamingo and Fiancee are aliSo grown.
The last named showed its usual burst-
ing propensities. Some good seedlings
were also in evidence.

Easter lilies are grown here in im-
mense numbers, and 35,000 pots were in
splendid condition for Easter. It was
a magnificent sight to stand and look
over the long houses filled with these.
Probably no other place in America
grows more or better lilies than that of
Peirce Bros. To move such numbers by
hand would be a tremendous task, so a
most ingenious truck system is used in
the houses. Several of these when load-
ed are placed on a large cable car which
is run through the wide, covered shed
connecting all the houses and hauled ex-
peditiously to the packing rooms or
teams. The numerous lily teams had
just had a new coat of paint and looked
spick and span for the strenuous Easter
trade.

Asparagus Sprengeri fills a number of
houses. A batch of 3,500 cyclamen just
potted look promising for another sea-
son's crop. Chrysanthemums in benches
are grown to the number of 60,000.
Spiraeas are grown for Decoration day
trade and 10,000 clumps had just been
boxed. Tomatoes also are largely
handled, also azaleas. No part of the
big plant is ever allowed to stand idle.

club for courtesies extended, and called
on Messrs. E. 0. Orpet, T. J. Guy,
T. H. Westwood, J. A. Pettigrew and
others for short addresses. Three vocif-
erous cheers for the Peirce Bros, ended
one of the most delightful and profitable
field days the club has yet held.

THAT DAYTON PICTURE.

That picture of the group photo-
graphed at Dayton, published a couple
of weeks ago, was a dandy. The presi-
dent is certainly a handsome man and
is brim full of satisfaction, as he de-
serves to be. The ex-president is looking
like a patriarch, venerable of appear-
ance, and what you would expect the
future senator of Oklahoma to be. Mr.
Hallock looks just what he is — a solid,
good, sensible man, who is exactly the
sort to guide the destiny of our great
society. Mr. Elliott, of asparagus fame,
has aged, like many of us — cool, sober,
industrious and earnest in all under-
takings.

George Asmus has the appearance we
have all seen at the Fort Erie races
when a "ten-to-one shot" poked its nose
in front and he had put on a "ten
spot." Confidence and good nature are
blended in that sweet smile. As to
"Grandpa" Hauswirth, in the back-

Indoor Railroad of Peirce Bros., Waltham, Mass.

(E. Allen Peirce at the brake, Herbert A. Peirce standing )

The new battery of steam boilers, the
vacuum pump for drawing on the re-
turns to improve circulation, the 80-foot
chimney and the splendid draught it
gives were not overlooked.

An adjournment was next made to
the packing shed, the president and some
others essaying the journey via cable
car. Eefreshments were served. Presi-
dent Wheeler voiced the thanks of the

ground, you would hardly think that this
retiring young man, who might be mis-
taken for an oflBcial of the Y. M. C. A.,
is possessed of so much latent sport,
which needs but a slight incentive to
develop into fiery action.

Whoever has passed the last hour be-
fore retiring for the night with Phil
Hauswirth, George Asmus, Fritz Bahr
and Ed Winterson cannot forget it

ever. Do they lie like infants entering
balmy sleep, worn out by the exertions
and excitement of the day? Not so as
you can notice it! They are more as
you can imagine the witches of Shakes-
peare, in "Macbeth," having only one
hour on earth, making the most of it in
a saturnalia. We have passed through
it once and lived, but could never be
tempted again. Our constitution has
been impaired ever since.

Secretary Stewart is getting white
and it becomes him. He has grown old
in the service of the society, and when
he feels like shedding the mantle of care
it will not be easy to replace him.
Steady-going Vice-President Altickhas
a retired position in the group. He
ought to be more conspicuous, for his
ability, integrity and thoroughness are
to help largely in making the Dayton
convention a great success. Mr. Altick
is one of the best trap shooters of the
country, and when he says "pull" the
inanimate clay target is as good as
shattered. Another instance that you
cannot become illustrious or popular un-
less you have a large infusion of sport
in your blood. Live pigeons Mr. Altick
does not kill. Like W. K. Harris and
your humble servant, he does not allow
bis better nature to shoot at a bird sit-
ting on a branch of a tree or a poor
tame dove trying to find his way home.
W. K. Harris once wrote me two beau-
tiful stanzas on this subject. This was
some six years ago. The first verse was
most touching. The second is preserved
for future perusal because I could not
decipher it, but I gloat on its beauty,
and shall carry it to paradise or Tona-
wanda.

Mr. Traendly looks what he is, a good-
natured, manly man, worthy of the high-
est honors the society has to offer. We
don't know Mr. Traendly as intimately
as we do others of the committee, but
we do know that he is a jolly good fel-
low and of the right kind. I am told he
is able to give Pat O'Mara a good an-
swer back, and that takes more than
Chicago gall.

The young man of the cash register
company is, it will be noticed, quite
youthful. Such is the order of the day.
Big corporations look for youth. There
is no doubt youth has the vim, energy
and alertness, but for all that the mole-
cules in the gray matter mature at a
late period of life, and I don't see that
he is any more intellectual looking than
the men engaged in the glorious calling
of horticulture.

If this party were to take a trip
around the world with their matsons
and maidens, you could easily imagine
the respective duties each would be as-
signed: Vaughan would be the treas-
urer. Kasting would see that there was
plenty to eat. Traendly would secure
vaudeville attractions. Elliott would
see that all behavior was decorous. Hal-
lock would say, "God bless you, my
children; have all the fun you like."
Altick would tell us they needed $50,-
000 more to complete the McKinley
monument, and only 35 cents to com-
plete the Grover Cleveland statue.
Stewart's duties would be to find stray
ladies of the party who had lost them-
selves in Canton or Algiers. Phil Haus-
wirth would give tips on the races in
any city where races were on, and George
Asmus would visit the several ambas-
sadors of leading countries and inform
them that he was from Chicago.

OBITUARY.

Thos. Devoy« Poughkeepsie.

Thomas Uevoy, one of the oldest resi-
dents of Poughkeepsie, died Thursday,
March 29, at 10 p. m., in his seventy-
fourth year. Mr. Devoy had not been
in good health for some time. He was
born in Ireland, town of Kilcullen, May
14, 1832. At the early :ige of 12 years
he entered the employ of the Hon. Kobert
LaTouch, at Harristown. Here he served
five years in the conservatories, grape
houses and garden. Like many of his
native land in those days, being desirous
of branching out, Mr. Devoy came to
America in 1851, and entered the em-
ploy of M. Pease, of Williamsburgh,
Brooklyn, N. Y.

In 1856 he removed to Poughkeepsie to
take charge of the greenhouse and gar-
den of Matthew Vassar, at Springside,
which position he resigned to take an
engagement with Prof. Samuel F. B.
Morse. Mr. Devoy served Prof. Morse
until his death, and the Morse family
for thirty-eight years, and to his skill
and good taste the beautiful place of
Prof. Morse was largely due.

Mr. Devoy was a gardener and plants-
man by natural gift, and his genius
brought to him many honors and tro-
phies, won at various exhibitions during
his engagement with the Morse family,
and later when in business for himself,
having established a commercial place
with his son on Worrall avenue, Pough-
keepsie, in 1884, where he was engaged
at the time of his death.

Thomas Devoy was a man of sterling
character, and esteemed by all who knew
him. By his industry and his fidelity to
duty and to friends he made for him-
self a place in the world, of which those
who mourn for him may well be proud.

Ho was among the earliest members
of St. Peter's parish, and later belonged
to St. Mary's congregation. Mr. De-
voy is survived by one son, Peter Devoy,
and two daughters.

Heary E. Riedel, Brooklyn.

Henry E. Riedel died Saturday, March
31, at his home, 156 Knickerbocker ave-
nue, Brooklyn, N. Y. He was one of the
old time florists, having been in the
business for over forty years. He leaves
a widow, two sons and two daughters.
The funeral services were held on Tues-
day and burial was in Lutheran ceme-
tery. One of his sons is with A. J.
Guttman, New York, as foreman in the
wholesale department. The sympathy of
the trade is extended the bereaved
family.

Benjamin Love, Toledo.

Benjamin Love, retired, of Toledo,
O., who during forty-five years was
prominent in business circles of that
city, died March 28. For six years he
had i)een suffering from organic heart
trouble, and in December last he was
attacked with rheumatism of tlie heart.
He had recovered in a measure from
that, but alx)ut ten days ago he suffered
a stroke of paralysis and lie had failed
«toadily since.

Mr. Love came to Toledo from To-
ronto in 1861 and engaged in the florist
and nursery business with George Baker,
and later with Henry Phillips. He re-
tired a number of years ago.

A VeU Displayed HandbiU.

With the

Advertising Man

An Ad-vantage.

"He who would add unto his trade
.Should have au 'ad.,' and well displayed.
For 'ads.,' If one knows how to write 'cm.
Add to one's trade ad Inflnltuui."

As an inexpensive and effective method
of advertising, nothing can etjual tlic
handbill, if rightly used.

Now understaiul me when I say if
used rightly, because there is a right
and wrong way of doing tliis just the
same as anything else, and upon tlie
method of handling dejiends wiietlier or
not it will be profitable or unprofitable.

Ever since you were ;> boy yon have
seen common, ordinary ''dodgers"' .scat-
tered on the street and on ]ieoj)le's door-
steps.

While, of course, these attract nioro
(ir less attention, they do not sell goods
like a iiandliill on the order of the one
siiown here.

In your liandbills, the same as all
other advertising, there must he good,
logical reasons why ])eople should buy of
you, and as previously stated, unless an
"ad" does this, it falls short of the
mark.

!Ia\ing a well displayed cinuliir, tiie
careful distribution is important. To
send them by mail would be too ex-
pensive. You c;in cover your town or
your neighborhood, putting one in evei.v
house, but hire responsible ju'ople to do
it; better yet, cover a small territory
each day by your own hel[), sending them
out at hours when they can be sparec'.
In many towns the distributers of city
papers will insert your handbill for ;i
small fee. one in each paper they ileliver.

In my own business 1 follow this
method very persistently, with the result
that T have built up a large retail trade.

Advertising is one of the best methods
of giving your customers confidence in

you and in the goods themselves, and if
han<lled rightly, will be one of the very
best investments you ever made.

BUFFALO.

Current Comment.

We are at present enjoying most salu-
brious weather, such weather as we
woidd expect to find in Seville, Venice
or Florence, where we have often so-
journed in our mind.

Several of our florists have wisely
taken a run down to Philadelphia anil
New York to see what the leviathans of
the trade have new in the plant line.
One comes back and says Buft'alo is
fifty years behind. Another comes shrug-
ging iiis shoidders and says he can't
see that the leading places 'in Philadel-
phia and New York are ahead of us,
only they have a market for larger and
more expensive plants. We suspect the
latter is nearer the truth, for never Avas
our city better supplied with ;iU kinds
of seasonable plants, with the exception
of lilies. Kaniblers, azaleas, lilacs,
rluxlodendrons, spira'as, marguerites,
Murillo (ulii>s. bougainvilleas, acacias,
all are here in finest form, and what
you do not find common in any city, well
(lowered 11. I', roses, also a good lot of
American Beauty in ."J-inch and 6-ineli
l)ots. If managed right this is the best
of all pot roses.

If there is an exception to the lilv
cro|)s it is with W. J. Palmer & Soii,
who have a gnind lot of the black
stemmed variety. Schwerdt & Berner,
of Chautauqua, have a fine house of
hydrnngeas. This is a plant that is big.
bulky and showy but wa.s never a favor-
ite iiere and we can get along first rate
without it.

As to there being an opening iiere for
a first-class grower, we doubt it. It is
not that we fear opposition, for we
should all rejoice to have among us one

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

APBlii 5, 1906.

who could set an example and teach us
how to do things to perfection, but con-
ditions are so different in the big cities
mentioned, as well as at Chicago and
Boston. Here there is scarcely a retail
store which has not some growing house
and you may be sure a man will not buy
another's stock as long as he has his
own product, let it be ever so inferior.

In the very large cities there are
dozens of fine stores which depend on
the growers in their different lines to
supply them with everything they han-
dle. This is division of labor, and I
think a division we are all coming to.
It's correct. The man who insists on
-offering flowers and plants of his own
growing will have many inferior to those
shown by his neighbor, the retailer, who
has had the opportunity to buy the very
best in the market.

There has been quite a stir here ot
late regarding the price of rental of
stalls in the Washington market, ihe
holder of a stall pays from $50 to $100
per year to the city, while a block away
on Main street for a small store you pay
$2,000. This is a grievance. The
Avooden stall in the public market may
not have the conveniences of a store,
although the stall holder has the privi-
lege of making it as substantial and
ornamental as he chooses. But talk
about meeting the people! For every
one who glances into your store there
are twenty who gape and stare and ask
the price of your attractions on the mar-
ket. You will say, "but most of them
are poor people; not all classes patron-
ize the public market." We learn every
day of our best people, which in modern
phraseology means people of abnormal
■wealth, making constant visits to the .
markets. The majority of wealthy men
will go farther out of their way to save
10 cents than the struggling man of
moderate means. They began saving in
this way and as years roll by and afflu-
ence is reached this thrifty habit does
not depart from them.

We know something about the market.
In 1866 and 1867 we subrented a stall
from April 1 to July 1. At that time
the Lady Washington, alias Martha
Washington, alias the show pelargonium,
was a new and popular plant and we
sold many thousands and never had so
much ready cash, before or since. Specie
payment began to appear in 1867 and
we thought it would be cute to put all
silver money away and not touch it.
We filled up all the empty trunks and
boxes in our possession and then we
found that it would be more sensible to
put away all five-dollar bills, so we be-
gan to put all that fell our way between
the pages of the first volume of Lou-
den's Encyclopedia of Gardening. At
the present writing the boxes are empty
and this wonderful volume has gone back
to its normal size.

Since we have had so many dwarf
Japan lilies a good use has been made
of them by making up 8-iuch to 12-inch
azalea pots, or half pots, as they are
known. If your lilies are in 6-inch pots
you can, after the buds are open, or
just about to open, with a big sharp
knife slice the 6-inch ball down to one-
fourth its original size and the lilies
will last just as long as if their roots
had been untouched. W. S.

New Bedford, Mass. — It is reported
that H. A. Jahn has declined an offer
of $8,000 from one of the concerns at
Joliet, 111., for his new white carnation.
No. 49.

TWIN CITIES.

The Market.

Judging from reports of the different
dealers trade the past week has been
very fair. No complaint is heard. Pos-
sibly they do not expect as much trade
on account of the fact that Easter busi-
ness will soon be on. Some of the deal-
ers already are making store prepara-
tions. In almost every store some Eas-
ter plants are to be seen.

While the city purchaser has not done
much in the way of placing orders, the
country trade has been doing quite the
reverse. Already numerous orders for
Easter plants have been booked by the
larger dealers, and, judging from pres-
ent prospects, we are going to have a
heavy trade. If we are favored with
weather such as we have had the past
week, trade, no doubt, will be the largest
we have had for some time.

The growers all appear to be well
satisfied with the outlook, and, without
exception, they are all prepared for a
heavy demand. The larger growers have
in stock from 3,000 to 5,000 fine
Easter lilies. One fact is noticeable — a
majority of them are growing the longi-
florum in preference to the Harrisii.
The diseased Harrisii lilies of a few sea-
sons ago has made the average grower
somewhat afraid to plant a great many
of them. Then, again, they report diffi-
culty in getting the true Harrisii.

Baby Kamblers are grown quite exten-
sively, one grower in particular having
fully 1,000 very fine plants in bloom,
which will sell at wholesale at $1 each.
A uniform price of 25 cents per lily or
bud, for lily plants, is quoted. A plant
with four lilies would sell for $1, and
so on, according to the number of buds
or blooms on the plant. Hydrangeas are
quoted from 75 cents to $3 and $4;
spiraeas, 75 cents to $2; cinerarias, from
50 cents to $1.50. The cut flower mar-
ket is very easy and, while stock is not
so abundant as it has been the past few
weeks, we still have an ample supply.

Minneapolis.

John Monson possibly has the largest
Easter stock. His Baby Kamblers,
grown in a cool house, are about the
best in this section.

Donaldson's Glass Block will no doubt
have a large number of all varieties of
blooming plants, but it is doubtful if
they will have a sufficient amount to sup-
ply their large retail trade.

The New York Floral Co. is still dis-
posing of large numbers of carnations
daily. The large cuts made by some of
our growers have reduced the price con-
siderably. In consequence they sell them
somewhat cheaper than the other florists.

The Greeks on the street are handling
considerable stock, mostly carnations
and bulbous stock and, on account of the
spring weather, they have been able to
cut into the sales to some extent.

St. Paul.

Aug. S. Swanson is making a great
display with his new rose. The Minne-
haha. He has, in the windows of his
Sixth street store, a large oil painting
of Minnehaha falls surrounded by large
numbers of his rose, which is an attrac-
tive feature.

Holm & Olson have leased the large
store formerly occupied by Howard
Farwell & Co., piano dealers. This will
give them a great deal more room and a
much better location.

Vogt Bros, are settled in their new
location and are now on one of the best
streets in the city for a fashionable
trade. They report good business the
past week.

L. L. May & Co. have had considerable
funeral work, one of the largest pieces
made during the week being a floral pen
in violets on a large back of white car-
nations. The piece was nicely made by
J. W. Hoffman. Felix.

NEV YORK.

The Market

The market stays down, as is its habit
the second week before Easter. It al-
ways did. It always will. It was so last
year and you can bank on it for 1907.
There will be little change before next
Monday. Then will the tide flow in-
again and holiday values will begin.
Beauties may go to 50 cents each, vio-
lets to $1 per hundred. There will be no
abnormal rise in the cut flower market.

Last week was a blue one for every-
body. Even the weather was tinged with
sadness. Eoses at $10 per thousand were
very abundant. Nothing of moment in
decoration or funerals stirred the un-
ruffied sea of monotony. Beauties, the
best of them, fell to $20 per hundred
and Brides and Maids to $5 per hun-
dred. These were top and few there
were that found it. Violets and carna-
tions, too, receded to the lowest of the
year. Still the quality of everything
was superb. Lilies hold up well and
10 cents per bud is easily obtainable.
They may do even better for Easter.

Various Notes.

Wadley & Smythe have 2,000 of
Walsh's best ramblers. Lady Gay, Hia-
watha and Wedding Bells. Thos. Wade,
the firm's representative, will exhibit
one of each at the club's meeting next
Monday evening. Benj. Dorrance will
give one of his original talks, always in-
teresting, and many of the new varieties
seen at Boston are expected to be staged.
The members of the outgoing committee
are requested to be at the hall as early
as possible.

John J. Foley has a fine establishment
on the Bowery. Born in 1863, in Ire-
land, he came to America when very
young, his first experience in the flo-
rists' business being with Alex. MeCon-
nell. His first store was at 189 Bowery.
Soon he was obliged to move to larger
quarters and now he occupies the entire
building at 226 and 228. Mr. Foley's
home is at Madison, where his green-
house plant is situated. ;

Alex. McConnell still holds the fort
at the corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-
fifth street. Preparations are made for
a tremendous plant Easter. A novelty
in pottery from Liberty, England, is on
exhibition here.

The Kosary, which many call the most
artistic flower shop in the world, makes
a finer display than ever this year.

Wm. H. Donohoe has already an estab-
lished business, built up rapidly since
last Easter and growing daily.

Jos. Leikens is another of the young
men in floriculture, close to the Waldorf-
Astoria and with a branch business at
Newport that bids fair to compare with
many that have existed for a generation.

A. Warrendorff now directs the desti-
nies of three elegant flower shops, two
on Broadway and one on Madison ave-
nue, all a credit to him. The main store
• on Broadway, near Twenty-eighth street.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

is always a center of admiration to the
"madding crowd" that walks "the
great white way."

Phil Kessler is handling all the sweet
peas of George Matthews, Great Neck,
L. I., stock with fifteen to eighteen-inch
stems in purple, lavender, pink and
white and in great demand. Mr. Kess-
ler has just purchased an acrd of Great
Neck land, where real estate grows in
value over night.

M. A. Bowe's transient trade aione
is enough to keep a quartet busy, but
the millionaire family trade accounts for
the autos and footman and other
luxuries. It's a great corner, this heart
of New York.

Charles Millang is recovering rapidly
now from the severe illness which has
laid him on the stielf a fortnight. Imag-
ine Charlie keeping still as long as that!
Alex. J. Guttman will make his sum-
mer home at his greenhouse establish-
ment at Summit. His move to Twenty-
eighth street has proved a most profit-
able venture. Business has grown 100
per cent in the last year.

James McManus will soon have his
headquarters established in the big store
at 42 W. Twenty-eighth street. There
will be none too much room for the
phenomenal business he has built up in
the orchid world.

J. K. Allen has been on deck at 6 a.
m. every morning for nearly twenty
years and yet J. K. looks like a two-
year-old and his business grows.

James Hart, wholesaler for thirty-
five years, holds the record and now is
located in the biggest store in wholesale-
dom, on West Twenty-eighth street,
which seems now to be the Mecca of con-
centration.

Ford Bros, have no regrets because of
moving to Twenty-eighth street. They
sail on an even keel and on a placid
ocean of prosperity.

H. E. Froment is holding the big
business established by W. Ghormley and
steadily adding to it. His violet trade
is enormous.

Moore, Hentz & Nash have had a
vigorous and successful year. Quality is
the watchword, courtesy and considera-
tion the rule. The Coogan building
would be incomplete without them.

Joseph Fenrich is now permanently lo-
cated at 110 West Twenty-eighth street.
He is the youngest wholesaler and be-
fore long it will be Fenrich & Son, so
the house should hold together a century.
This is where Totty's Eichmonds come
and go.

Wm. Starke is completing his green-
house back of his store at 52 W. Twen-
ty-ninth street. Just what he needed
most. Already he is crowded with Eas-
ter plants.

John Seligman and Jos. J. Levy make
a strong and bustling team and are
rapidly building up a clientele. Their
headquarters opposite the Coogan build-
ing are very convenient and everything
indicates ambition and progress.

The Limpreeht Florist Supply Co. is
ready for Easter. No enterprise is too
large for Max to tackle successfully.

The Geller Florist Supply Co. is now
fully established at 38 West Twenty-
ninth street, close to Gunther's and Salt-
ford's, in a most convenient spot. Grass
growing designs, ferneries and ribbons
are among the specialties.

The membership of the National Flo-
rists' Board of Trade has grown nearly
half a hundred since December.

S. Eodh and Young & Nugent last
week were next door to a fire that

threatened the whole wholesale district.
Mr. Eodh's stock of ribbons was unin-
jured.

Young & Nugent 's window, with its
brillant and novel lights and its artistic
arrangements of flowers, is always a cen-
ter of attraction, especially since Mr.
Nugent has again put on the harness.
His hand has not forgot its cunning.

A. Moltz has a very convenient store
on the first floor of the Coogan building.

Wm. H. Gunther and his brothers con-
stitute a triumvirate that it would be
hard to discount. What this trio does
not know about legitimate sport and his-
trionic ability isn't worth knowing.
They are close to Broadway in every re-
spect.

A. L. Young & Co. are growing rapid-
ly. Mr. Henshaw's lieutenancy and rose
shipments are a great addition to the
efficiency of the establishment.

I am very well pleased with your

after getting the paper, and not a week
passes but I learn something of value

from its pages.

C. D. OTIS.
Lake Charles, La.
March 16, 1906.

The three big retail stores of Thos.
Young, Jr., are all bowers of beauty.
Such hydrangeas and ramblers are hard
to duplicate.

John J. Perkins still maintains his
prestige at 115 W. Thirtieth street.
Thirty-four years is a good record.

A. J. Fellouris will soon establish his
headquarters in his new building at 52
W. Twenty-eighth street, a most desir-
able and convenient center. The rise
and progress of this house has been re-
markable.

Geo. Cotsonas & Co. carry an immense
stock of green goods. Mr. Cotsonas is
a popular, genial and persistent worker,
attending personally to all the details
of his business.

N. LeCakes & Co. have about every-
thing the florist needs; cut flowers,
plants and green goods. Mr. Foley
takes care of the books and still super-
intends the cut flower department. Four
stalwart Helenes constitute the company.

Harry Bunyard, with Arthur T. Bod-
dington, cut his hand badly last week
while handling bulb boxes.

On the big steamer Amerika came
home from his European trip on Satur-
day one of the big plantsmen of Amer-
ica, Julius Eoehrs, of Carlton Hill, N. J.

John N. May, of Summit, and his
daughter are forgetting the unseasonable
weather in balmy Florida.

The bulb men are here in shoals. The
Broadway Central seems to be their

headquarters in New York. I met M. J.
Eosbergen, of K. Eosbergen & Son, and
Mr. Endtz, of Endtz, Van Nes & Co.,
both of Boskoop, Holland, out on Long
Island one day last week, and both were
in a happy frame of mind. They found
every grower sold out for Easter and
with large orders ready for next sea-
son. Very pleasant, practical, clean fel-
lows, these healthy Dutchmen are.

C. W. Ward is back from his western
trip, just in time to receive his large
importation of nursery stock. The Cot-
tage Gardens Co. is building extensively
this spring; three enormous green-
houses, averaging 15,000 square feet
each, and a big office building.

Mcintosh had his usual pre-Easter
$500 basket last week for his perennial
millionaire. This time it was made of
Crimson Eamblers, lilies and orchids,
with a crown of violets.

E. Dreyer, with his 60,000 square feet
of new glass and his fine establishment
beyond Woodside, is in high spirits.
Easter orders are earlier and heavier
than ever. And so it is over at Schul-
theis', in College Point, and at Dupuy's,
Hinode 's, Pankok & Schumacher 's and
Darlington 's at Whitestone, and so it
is, I understand, at Flatbush and in
Jersey and wherever handsome plants
are grown.

Dreyer 's azaleas and hydrangeas are
especially fine. Of the latter 10,000 ^J"e
imported yearly. He has 20,000 Brun-
ner and Magna Charta roses in bloom
and lots of Baby Eamblers. He devotes
one house to Scottii and six to his fa-
vorite white carnation. Bertha Eath.

Schultheis is the Eambler king. His
Crimson Eambler and Dorothy Perkins
are grand specimens. Dupuy's clematis,
blue hydrangeas and crassulas are very
attractive. "Sold out two weeks ago,"
was his greeting.

Pankok & Schumacher 's bougainvilleas
ana Eamblers are especially fine. Mr.
Pankok and family leave late in April
for a summer in Europe.

The Easter price of lilies in pots is
12 cents everywhere, and every good
flower has been sold at that figure. If
any cut below it the stock was inferior
or the cutting was entirely unnecessary.
Prices for everything average about the
same as last season.

The Julius EoehVs^-Go., over at Buth-
erford, is well prepared as usual for the
Easter season, but the orchids are oflf
crop and out of the twenty-five big
houses devoted to them will hardly be
cut enough for a funeral wreath.

Over the way, at Bobbink & Atkins',
there is a great display of palms, bay
trees, nursery stock, blue spruce, ever-
greens, herbaceous stock and blooming
plants. The past year is the banner one
with them.

Brooklyn.

Brooklyn has advanced into the front
rank during the past year and feels
quite independent. Its wholesale and re-
tail departments compare boldly with
the Manhattan borough of the big city.

Last week Brooklyn added another
wholesaler to its record, George Craw-
buck, Jr., having arrived from baby-
land. The firm of Hicks & Crawbuck,
Inc., is still celebrating the event. Thin
house contemplates extensive enterprises
for the present year and great prepara-
tions have been made for Easter.

Bonnet & Blake have had a very suc-
cessful year, so much so they are reach-
ing out for more room to accommodate
both shippers and customers.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Aphii. 5, 1906.

W. H. Kuebler has grown rapidly.
His new store at 28 Willoughby is as
good as they make 'em, but I think an-
other Easter will find even this too small
for him.

Henry K. Crawbuck is the only whole-
sale green goods man in Brooklyn, and
the city seems to appreciate him and
the convenience he affords it. His busi-
ness grows.

Another Brooklynite, Kobert G. Wil-
son, conducts a fine retail establishment,
while over on West Thirtieth street in
New York he is reaching out for his
share of the wholesale trade. There is
no limit to the ambition of the Brook-
lynites.

Phillips, Weir, Masur, Mallon and a
host of retailers vie with each other and
with New York in the artistic floral dis-
plays they make daily, and every Easter
adds to their skill and reputation.

Some day Brooklyn will be larger than
Manhattan, for it has more room to
crow in. J. Austin Shaw.

BOSTON.

The Market

Extreme dullness on some days and a
good clearing out on others has char-
terized the past week's market. On the
whole, it must be classed as satisfactory.
Koses are more abundant and a dragging
tendency in them is noticeable. The best
grades of Beauties are now remarkably
fine. Prices on them yield very little.
Brides and Maids are a little lower, es-
pecially on the poorer grades. Some
very liice Safrano and Bon Silene are
seen, and these make very fair prices,
being in demand at the most up-to-date
stores. Carnations remain about the
same. There seems a likelihood of a
shortage in fancies for Easter. Violets
are fairly firm at 50 and 75 cents per
hundred. Singles will not be sufficiently
plentiful for Easter calls, although they
are still arriving and of very fine quality.

Nice Spanish iris is coming from one
or two growers. There is only a mod-
erate call for cut Easter lilies. Proba-
bilities are that there will be enough
plants of these for all requirements.
Twelve cents per bloom seems to be ac-
cepted as the g(Mieral price, although
some are offering them at 10 cents.
Some extra fine niignoiiotte and antir-
rhinums are coming in. Asparagus and
adiantum arc each in abundant supply.

Various Notes.

A new auction seller of horticultural
supplies has entered the local field in the
person of J. J. McCormick, who will
hold weekly sales of hardy roses, box
trees, hydrangeas and other nursery
stock at 1 and 2 Somerset street. The
auctioneer is the veteran and inimitable
Edward Hatch, which is of itself suffi-
cient to ensure success for the new ven-
ture.

Welch Bros, are making extensive
preparations for their Easter trade,
which this year will far surpass all pre-
vious records. They have acquired the
store adjoining their present one, which
will practically double their floor ca-
pacity. It Avili be used largely for plants
at Easter, to relieve the congestion in
their other .store. A most up-to-date new
telephone system is being installed and
everything possible being done to keep
the firm still at the head of its kind.

Alexander ;McKay is sending in some
grand Lilium longiflorum to the market.
He has 4,000 of these about right for

Easter. He is still cutting very fine
freesia.

J. A. Pettigrew will speak on * ' The
Embellishment of Streets and Way-
sides" at the next meeting of the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club on April 17.
The tickets for the club banquet on
April 25 are selling rapidly and a re-
markable attendance is already assured.

W. W, Eawson & Co. announce that
they will open for business at their old
stand within a few days. Work on the
burned structure is being rushed with
all possible haste.

W. C. Ward is one of the new stall
holders at the Park street market. He
is handling quantities of splendid pan-
sies, in the culture of which he is one of
the leaders.

Mann Bros., of Kandolph, are bring-
ing in their usual large supplies of lilies,
rambler roses in variety, spiraeas and
other pot plants. In cut flowers they
have very fine snapdragons and double
tulips.

J. Tailby & Son, of Wellesley, are
handling some excellent Spanish iris,
which they grow quite extensively.

R. & J. Farquhar's new nursery will
be located at Dedham, within convenient
access of their store by team, and not
Bedford, as stated in a recent issue.

The Boston Sunday Herald of April 1
contained an excellent illustrated article
on W. W. Eawson and his extensive ex-
periments in growing vegetables under
glass by the aid of electric light at his
Arlington establishment.

Our local dailies have had numerous
stories of late about F. R. Pierson Co. 's
.$6,000 Winsor carnation and H. A.
Jahn 's $8,000 white seedling. It is sur-
prising how many of the public came to
the recnt show purposely to see these
' ' late floral creations. ' '

A. W. Kidder continues to send in
Princess of Wales violets of remarkable
quality which are in brisk demand.

Galvin, on Tremont street, is showing
some nice Dendrobium thyrsiflorum, also
Cattleya Schroedera? and C. Mossiae.

Carbone has been handling some very
fine Dorothy Perkins roses grown by
Thomas Roland. He has had a fine lot
of the beautiful Narcissus Victoria of
late.

Sidney Hoffman, at his Massachusetts
avenue store, has an effective arrange-
ment of specimen white azaleas in the
center of his windows with a band of
Oimson Rambler roses around them.

The closing lecture of the season at
Horticultural hall, by Prof. Powell, on
' * Economic Mycology ' ' took place
March 31, before a good audience.

March proved the coldest of its name
for eleven years, with a surplus of pre-
cipitation both in the form of rain and
snow. Ft went out cold, and planting
therefore is being delayed, but should
start with a rush towards the end of
the present week.

Gypsy moth caterpillars have already
Vjeen seen, and the war on the moth pests
must soon be carried on with redoubled
vigor. The .«tate is petitioned for $150,-
000 more to add to a like amount al-
ready appropriated towards the suppres-
sion of the brown-tail and gypsy moths
this season.

Receipts at the recent spring exhibi-
tion considerably exceeded those of 1905,
Avhen the Rose Society also met here, al-
though the former show lasted four days
and the more recent one only three days.

James Hutchinson, orchid grower for
Oakes Ames, of North Easton, succeeds

Axel Bjorn in charge of the collection
of Dr. J. F. Shafer, Pittsburg, Pa.

J. T. Butterworth is commencing to
cut some fine Cattleya Mossiae. He has
some of the best lily of the valley ever
grown for -the Boston market.

H. H. Barrows & Son report a phe-
nomenal advance sale of their new
Nephrolepis Whitmani as a result of the
recent exhibition in Boston.

PROVIDENCE. R. I.

A Good Grower.

One of the best growers for the Provi-
dence market is James Burke, manager
of the J. A. Foster plant at Warwick. A
recently erected house contains as fine
a lot of Lawson and Enchantress as one
could wish to see. The Queen also suc-
ceeds unusually well here, having better
stems than are usually seen in winter.
Bedding stock is grown in large quanti-
ties, there being a heavy local demand
for the same. Ten thousand geraniums
and big lots of cannas, petunias, vincas,
ageratums and other sorts are handled.
Tomatoes were fruiting well in one house
in which picking began in December.
After a trial of a number of sorts, Loril-
lard is now exclusively grown. White fly
is easily controlled by the use of hydro-
cyanic acid gas. In addition to the
greenhouses quite a considerable area is
devoted to nursery stock, for which there
is a steady demand in the vicinity. Every-
thing here denoted that a thoroughly up-
to-date man was in charge.

Various Notes.

Plans are out for a splendid block of
houses on Senator N. W. Aldrich's pala-
tial estate at Warwick Neck, where F.
C. Green is superintendent. These, when
erected, will be among the finest in the
east.

C. S. McNair, on Weybosset street, has
one of the best equipped flower stores
to be seen anywhere. He is making ac-
tive preparations for a big Easter trade,
which, it is expected, will be of un-
usually heavy proportions. The telauto-
graph is found of great assistance here
for communicating from the store to the
basement, where designs are made. The
excellent arrangement of mirrors and
unique electric lighting plan excites ad-
miration.

Johnston Bros., on Westminster street,
have some remarkably well grown
Nephrolcj)is elegantissima. I noted a
vase of Brides which would have ren-
dered a good account of themselves at
the recent Boston rose show.

T. J. Johnston, on Weybosset street,
has the distinction of being the only
commercial man privileged to handle the
new Nephrolepis Whitmani. The cut
fronds are found very valuable for deco-
rative purposes. A vase of Lilium can-
didiun was the first of that fine variety
1 had seen this season.

Among the visitors from here to tlie
late rose exhibition in Boston were T.
McCarthy, Wm. Appleton, F. C. Green,
Sweeney, T. J. .Johnston and W. E.
Chapelle.

Several members of the local florists'
club will attend the banquet of tlie
Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club
April 25.

Business has been rather dull of late,,
but a big Easter trade is anticipated.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The cut flower trade in this city the
paKt week was anything but good; in
fact, the whole month of March there
was little doing except for funerals. The
ueather had a great deal to do with the
dull business. Just six clear days during
the month, and five snow storms. Satur-
day was the first day that looked like
spring. The baseball season opened that
day and everybody wore a white or a
red rose, the colors of the two local
teams. The south end florists had quite
a busy day on Friday with funeral work,
and the wholesalers cleaned up pretty

well.

Stock has shortened >ip again and
prices, of course, have risen. There is
a fair lot of roses in the market. The
cloudy weather seems to have put a stop
to the big consignments of carnations
that glutted the market a week ago;
still enough are in for the demand. Bulb-
ous stock continues scarce and will be
until Easter. Violets, too, have short-
tMied up considerably.

Various Notec

Alex. Siegle and John Burke spent a
few days in Chicago the past week.
Charles Connon had charge of their
stores while they were awiiy.

A new seed house has opened at 912
N. Broadway under the name of the
Teasdale Seed Co. They report a good
opening trade.

The Ellison Floral Co. has its down-
town branch, in Simmons ' store, in work-
ing order. Arthur Ellison has charge.

James Dunford has a fine lot of
Spiraea Gladstone, all perfect plants, for
which he has taken a great many orders.

Wm. Schray & Sons have a fine lot of
azaleas, hybrid roses, Ramblers, lilies
and other blooming stock, which will be
just right for Easter. Their new canna,
Superior, is selling well.

The St. Louis Palm Co. has to vacate
its present location in a few weeks.
New quarters have been found at lOlU
Olive street.

Philip Gieble, who has been at Tower
<3rove park for many years, on April 1
took a position at Reservoir ]>ark. He
has been sick since January 1, but now
is as well as ever.

James Gurney, superintendent of
Tower Grove park, is spending a few
•weeks at Eureka Springs, Ark. James
Gurney, Jr., is in charge of the park.

The club meeting will take place next
Thursday afternoon, April 12, just three
davs before Easter. Good chance for
the growers to sell some of their surplus
blooming plants. President Ammann is
looking for a large attendance.

"northern TEXAS.

The/past week has been the most dis-
agreeable one that I have experienced,
rain all the time, with chilly northeast
winds, and, although the thermometer
did not go below 28 degrees, it felt cold
and raw. "When tlie wind changes or it
gets cloudy, tlio iK'oj)le shut themselves
uji, social fiiiictioiis cea.se and business
gets to look gloomy. All classes of work
out-of-doors has stopped, planters cannot
get into the fields, nurserymen cannot
plant their seedlings, and people cannot
visit the greenhouses. But they say evil
produces good, so we have the consola-
tion of knowing that the weather is hold-
ing back Easter stock, which was coming
along too fast.

Things at present are quiet, a few
funerals taking up the greater part of
the stock. Carnations are looking well
at some places, while at one or two places
they are done for. My experience so far
tells me that the cooler carnations are
grown liero the better they bloom; those
here who advocated running their houses
at a night temperature of 60 degrees are
regretting they did so now.

Various methods of manuring are tried
with varying success; a;nong others, cot-
tonseed meal, a fertilizer to me of doubt-
ful quality, considering the tendency of
some plants to disease and stem-rot.

What seems to me the greatest cause
of failure, or partial success, lies in the
weak, diseased cutting and planting the
Ijench with weak stock improperly
pindicd back, overwatered when first
jjlanted, neglecting to ventilate when
needed, and, in their eagerness to get
results, many rely upon their own judg-
ment instead of watching conditions
closely and profiting by those conditions.
I find the majority, in place of leaving
the growing to cool, practical, experi-
enced growers, try methods which they
think may be right, or listen to the ad-
vice of amateurs. This interferes with
the success of their growers and, when
failure inevitably results, place the blame
upon the grower.

The greater number of those in busi-
ness through this country just fell into
the business naturally and have gradually
worked up with their business and made
moiu'v i'Tiough to spread out and are
nearly all more successful than one
would think.

What few roses have been planted as
an experiment are showing the effects of
the rainy weather. But my first impres-
sion that they can be successfully grown
here has not changed. At some future
time 1 will write the method employed.
Bulbous stock is nearly all gone; there
will not be any for Easter. Harrisii will
be in all right. Azaleas are coming in
fast and there will not be many left.

Green carnations were a novelty here
St. Patrick 's day, no one here having
ever seen the doctored article before, and
what had been prepared went readily at
$1.25 per dozen. Bedding stock is look-
ing well and the wish is that it may
clear up so that planting may commence.
We understand that Mr. Majors,
grower for Munson, at Denison, will take
charge of the growing for the Texas
Nursery Co., of Sherman, May 1. They
contemplate erecting one or more houses
to grow carnations.

J. S. Kerr, the popular nurseryman of
Sherman, was called away suddenly to
Butte, Mont., on account of the serious
illness of his son, who is there.

Mrs. H. O. Hannah & Son, of Sherman,
had the monopoly of the green carna-

tion business St. Patrick's day and
reaped •\ small harvest. Narcissus.

ROCHESTER.

Current Comment.

Frencli, Dutch and Japanese goods
make a splendid showing now, and with
a few days of sunny weather we have
an idea that at Easter we will have a
chance to regain some of the Lenten
losses and come out even, or better.

:\lr. Oviatt has (}uite a place here with
a good assortment of stock of flowering
and foliage plants. Bedding plants are
given their share of space and sweet
peas are grown in quantity. All appear
to be in good shape.

For some time past J. B. Keller Sons
have been more or less mentally and
financially disturbed by the disappear-
ance of their stock. Determined to dis-
cover the leakage, a burglar alarm was
attached to the carnation house entrance.
Returning home rather late (or, perhaps,
somewhat early) from a meeting of con-
vivial friends (we have no Florists'
Club here), the bell rang, and George
Keller knew that something was wrong.
Armed with revolver, rifle and bowie
knife, George rushed out to find a wo-
man crouching beneath a bench. Far be
it from us to detract from George's
pluck, but we must say that the lady
has been judged irresponsible. As she
had omitted to complete her toilet be-
fore making her selection of carnations,
naturally Mr. Keller was much embar-
rassed.

Our commission man reports satisfac-
tory trade and prophesies good business
for Easter. Sweet peas, daffodils, etc.,
while in first-class condition, have not
yielded the best cash results. Bermuda
lilies have been bringing 12 to 15 cents,
and, as a rule, the quality is good.

Salter Bros, have some original make-
\ips in their store, which have caused
(juite a good deal of interest, and the
other local dealers report brisk business.
Small azaleas have proven a paying
proposition, and altogether there seems
a more hopeful feeling throughout the
trade. F. S. P.

Hl(;in'. Ti.L. — Fred Plagge was called

years.

W. P. Kasting writes, after the first
forms had gone to press, that the words
"somewhat heavier" after Cut Lilies in
bis advertisement of March 29, which
appears again this week, apply to the
kind of type he wanted the words
printed with and not to the lilies them-
selves. He says his supply of lilies this
year is more than "somewhat" heavier.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

The market took a brace in the later
days of last week and by Saturday had
a quite vigorous tone. Monday opened
good, but hardly as strong as Saturday.
By Wednesday a glut had developed,
but there is a prospect of fair activity
between now and Easter. The shipping
business does not show much increase,
but local trade is more active since we
have had a return to pleasant weather.

Roses had not stiffened in price to so
great a degree as other items in the mar-
ket. There are no very heavy supplies of
Beauties, but an abundance of other
roses. The cold weather and a few days
of bright sun .have served to give the
roses a quality unusual at this season.
All the stock is crisp and firm and trav-
els well. The average quality of most
growers' cuts is exceptionally good. The
spring crops of Liberty appear to be
coming on, Chatenay is also more in evi-
dence than in the past few weeks. Uncle
John is especially good. Some early crops
of Kaiserin are at hand.

The spring crop of carnations is on
and the quality is exceptionally good in
all varieties. The weather has been ideal
for the production of first grade carna-
tions. On Friday and Saturday the mar-
ket advanced sharply with a slight in-
crease in the demand, because the grow-
ers are already beginning the process of
accumulating the supply for Easter.
There continue to be receipts of Lawson
almost, if not quite, equal to the com-
bined receipts of other varieties. En-
chantress is not quite so plentiful as it
was a while ago.

Saturday the violet market had unex-
pected strength. At the beginning of last
week it was almost impossible to get rid
of the violets at any price, but by Satur-
day they were first-class property. The
receipts are somewhat lighter than usual
and the demand heavier. The local sin-
gles are about done for. The miscellan-
eous items, including Easter lilies, callas
and all varieties of bulbous stock, are in
lighter supply than heretofore, as the
growers are holding them for Easter
wherever possible. Some very fine sweet
peas are now seen.

Smilax is quite scarce and the advance
in price has had a tendency to turn the
demand toward asparagus. There is an
abundance of all other greens, including
common ferns, which usually begin to
grow scarcer at this season.

The Easter Prospect.

Without exception the wholesalers are
counting on the largest Easter demand
in history. The volume of business is
steadily increasing in this market and a
great many early inquiries have been re-
ceived for very large quantities of stock.
The prospect is that there will be an
abundance of Easter lilies but that quite
a proportion of them will be of indiffer-
ent quality. On roses there are varying
reports.' A few growers state that they
will be at the height of their crops but
others report crops going off. The carna-
tion plants seem at their prime, with ev-
ery prospect of large supplies. But the
carnation is now the most popular flower
and there will be no surplus. Reports
from Rhinebeck are to the effect that
there will be violets to burn, and doubt-
less some will deserve no better fate, but
the good ones will all sell at a first-class
price. The storing-up process is appar-
ently in progress all along the line.

Easter Plants.

There are more plants ready for Easter
than in any previous year. The single
exception to this may be tulips, hyacinths
and daffodils. While there are consider-
able quantities of these, they are no more
plentiful than last year. Lilies which are
too short to sell well cut are plentiful.
There are many azaleas; good ones, but
quite a few are earlier than they should
be. Some fine hydrangeas are offered,
also Crimson Rambler, Baby Rambler and
hybrid roses. These are the staples and
the novelties are few and far between.

Various Notes.

Wm. CoUatz, of Maywood, has bought
the material for another house 15x200
for carnations.

Frank Schramm, of Arlington Heights,
went fishing early Monday morning and
with his day's consignment to Kenni-
cot's sent E. E. Pieser a nine-pound
pickerel still living.

On Monday the Chicago Rose Co. re-
ceived a car load of box trees.

J. A. Budlong has been cutting stead-
ily of Brides and Maids all season. If
anything, the crop is now on the in-
crease.

L. Coatsworth has gone to New Castle
to begin work on the new greenhouses.
They are having a splendid cut of very
fine quality and the demand makes them
anxious to get their new houses up and
planted in season for an early crop next
fall.

J. B. Deamud Co. is handling some
hydrangeas that are remarkable for the
size of the trusses of flowers. They also
have some good stock in other lines.

Zech & Mann say that they expect their
Easter crops of carnations of the varie-
ties producing the ordinary grades to 1)6
something entirely unprecedented.

Wieland & Risch report that the de-
mand for plants of Killarney has been so
great that they have let go of small lots
of stock until they now have only enough
for planting six of their new houses.
They had intended to give all of them to
this variety.

Last Saturday O. P. Bassett celebrated
his seventy-first birthday anniversary.

George Reinberg's Christmas specialty
was American Beauty, his Easter special-
ty is American Beauty and his Decora-
tion day specialty will be American
Beauty.

Bassett & Washburn are well pleased
with their lilies from bulbs grown in the
Azores islands.

Easter chicks and ducklings are report-
ed by C. W. McKellar as selling well in
spite of the fact that this line, like paper
Christmas bells, encounters department
store competition.

Isadore Goldstein, an aged florist,
some years retired, was down town March
28 when his memory failed. The police
returned him to his home on the west
side.

At E. H. Hunt's the force in the sup-
ply department is repeating the Christ-
mas "stunt," shipping birch bark ware,
twig goods and other Easter specialties.

Lubliner & Trinz say business at their
Randolph street store is two or three
times as heavy as a year ago at this
time.

Last year at Easter ferns were worth
fifty per cent more than they will be a
week hence.

Several of the commission houses are
handling pot plants for Easter. Vaughan
& Sperry are showing samples of pot
roses in nice shape, well flowered hy-
drangeas, etc.

At Tuesday 's election Peter Eeinberg
•was returned to the city council by a
good, safe plurality. It was a notable
victory, a.s the 1. M. O. city administra-
tion influence and the saloons were all
against hini. The Tribune says it was a
mark of the confidence in liim felt by
the people of the ward.

On Tuesday the show house of the
Cicorge Wittbold Co. was turned into an
election polling place. The precinct
rolled up a good plurality for Peter
Reinberg.

Wietor Bros, anticipate for Easter the
largest rose crops in their history, witli
Kaiserin especially heavy.

At about this time each year smilax
becomes scarce, but K. C. Amling says
that asparagus can l)e depended on to
do busines.s every day in the year.

Stollery Bros, have several thou.sands
of fancy tulips to be ready in the next
ten days. They have not grown many of
the finer sorts this year, as they find
$5 ])er lunidred the limit the market will
pay, and more money is to be made
forcing cheaper bulbs to sell at $3.

A. L. Kandall says tliat the new sup-
ply department is hel})ing the cut flowers,
and vice versa. People who order from
one end of tlie store take something from

Easter business in supplies.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

The increase in the quantity of fine
Kaiserin roses is a feature of the mar-
ket this week. Unfortunately, they are
very poor stock at present, good Brides
being taken in preference. It is hoped,
however, that next week's demand for
white flowers will create sufficient busi-
ness for all the roses of both varieties
at satisfactory prices.

Business has not been up to the mark
during the past few days. Saturday saw
a brisk demand, but the accumulations
of the previous days were scattered all
along Market street at ridiculous prices.
The meeting of city councils on Monday,
generally a great floral affair, was not
equal to previous years. Very few new
members took their seats. The flowers
sent were not allowed on the desks, a
new ruling, but were placed in an ad-
joining room, as at Washington last De-
cember. This departure will undoubt-

edly to a great extent destroy the busi-
ness in floral offerings.

The indications point to a moderate
supply of carnations, a scarcity in good
smilax, a heavy supply of well-grown
cut lilies, American Beauties, Kaiserins
and possibly Brides and Maids. On
these last two items there is a difference
of opinion. Good violets will be fairly
plentiful, provided cool weather con-
tinues. So, also, will pansies. Sweet
peas do not seem very plentiful. Prices
are lower now than is usual before Eas-
ter, but the indications point to last
Easter's prices being realized on most
lines of stock of good quality.

A 'Wedding of Interest.

A wedding of far more than local in-
terest occurred in this city on Thursday,
March 29, when M. Eice was married to
Mrs. Emma Wolff Young. The marriage
was a home affair, only the immediate
families and a few of Mr, Eice 's most
intimate friends being present. The
happy couple sailed for Europe last Sat-
urday on the Pretoria for an extended
wedding trip. They will visit France,
Germany, Switzerland and Italy. So
quietly were the arrangements made that

only a very few of the many friends of
Mr. and Mrs. Rice were able to express
their good wishes by sending gifts.
B. Eschner and E. Weiss were among
the few who waved farewell from the

pier.

Easter Novelties.

A hurried glance over the array of
Easter plants for next week's business
shows a fevf novelties of more than ordi-
nary merit. First among these. Baby
Rambler rose may fairly take its place.
Though in its second year, it is prac-
tically a novelty, as only a few were
bought last season. Next to the Baby
comes Dorothy Perkins, a rose of tried
merit outdoors, but the forcing quali-
ties of which have yet to be tested.
Marguerite Queen Alexandra seems
promising. The flowers are large and
very striking. But perhaps the most in-
teresting, and certainly the truest novel-
ty is Rhododendron Pink Pearl, a beau-
tiful soft pink, flowers very large and
full. This variety was imported by
Henry A. Dreer and by him turned over
to Jacob Becker, of West Philadelphia,
who is forcing it now and for Easter.
Mr. Becker thinks very highly of the

The committee in charge of the April
meeting of the Germantown Horticul-
tural Society has arranged a program
which may be of interest to other socie-
ties which find it dif&cult to sustain an

ductory talk, S. Mendelson Meehan (5
minutes) ; Old Fashioned Garden Shrubs,
N. Dubois Miller (15 minutes) ; Attract-

Various Notes.

The Leo Niessen Co, will be especially
strong on Kaiserins for Easter. Their
orders for Easter plants exceed those of
last year at this time.

Samuel S. Pennock has his samples of
Easter plants on exhibition in his new
annex.

Paul Berkowitz, of 3. Bayersdorfer &
Co., has returned from a most successful
pre-Easter trip.

Mr. and Mrs. William Blacker, of
Clearfield, Pa., were in this city a few
days ago, loolung up Easter stock.

PACKING SUMMER FLOWERS.

The first step toward the successful
shipment of asters, dahlias, gladioli,
peonies and sweet peas would be to cut
them early in the morning, and to put
them in water at once, keeping them in
a cool cellar until time to pack them
for shipment, says W. H. Taplin in an-
swer to a query by a reader of the Eural
New Yorker. When packing either of
the first four flowers mentioned it is best
to use shallow boxes similar to those
used for packing long-stemmed roses, and
to pack them closely in regular order,
the boxes being well lined with news-
papers first and over these some wax
paper. If the weather is very warm
and the flowers are to be sent a con-
siderable distance, some cracked ice may
be sprinkled among the stems of the
flowers, though keeping the ice away
from the blooms with some wax paper.

Any long-stemmed flowers that are to
be sent by express are safer with a light
cleat pressed down en the stems and
nailed in place, this precaution often sav-
ing the flowers from bruising when
roughly handled.

Asters and dahlias should be almost
fully developed when they are cut, as
they do not advance so much in water
as the gladioli and peonies, the latter
being cut when not much more than half
open, and in very warm weather when
the buds are just bursting. Sweet peas
are not specially good keepers in warm
weather, and the sprays should be cut
when the first flower is open, if they are
intended for shipment, and the flowers
should not be sprinkled, else they will
soon drop. Some of the dahlias, and es-
pecially some of the cactus varieties, do
not keep very well when cut, but all are
benefited by being placed in buckets of
water for a few hours before shipment,
it being an advantage for long-stemmed
flowers to be placed in deep vessels, so
that the stems are immersed to a consid-
erable depth, and in common with all
cut flowers, they should be kept in the
shade and in as cool a place as possible.

To my way of thinking, by all odds
the best paper. — H. L. Ciapp, Bipon,
Wis.

Seed Trade News.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

Pr©B., W. H. Grenell, Sagrlnaw, W. 8., Mich;
First Vlce-Pres., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and
TreaB., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual
neetlngr will be held at Toledo, O., June 26-28, 1906.

The department stores are getting
their seed outfits ready for the spring
rush.

J. Ogden Armour states that this
year 2,500 is the acreage of cantaloupes
in the Salton "desert" of California.

It develops that the "wholesale"
seed house looking for a high priced
man for the mail trade is Sears, Eoebuck
& Co., Chicago.

W. W. Rawson & Co., Boston, will
again be ready for business at the old
stand in a very few days. Since their
fire, work on restoring the structure has
been rushed.

It is said that the "Seroco" and the
other new brand of garden seeds are get-
ting a wide distribution. There is no
room for complaint here, however, as the
distribution of neither is free.

Onion set men say that the market is
likely to close in good order. The quan-
tity available is below the average needs
of the season and no disturbance or
lowering of prices is looked for.

The seed imports at the port of New
York last week were 3,121 bags of
clover, valued at $74,340 in the invoices;
400 bags grass seeds, valued at $7,798,
and miscellaneous seeds valued at $2,695.

Mail advices from California growers,
dated in the last days of March, re-
ported heavy rains, with a possibility
rapidly becoming a probability that dam-
age would be done crops growing for
seed.

A COUNTRY editor says that there
never has been a greater farce than the
government free seeds since Horace
Greeley advocated the distribution of
hydraulic rams to sheep breeders for
the improvement of their flocks.

The Capital Seed Co., Des Moines,
la., filed a schedule in voluntary bank-
ruptcy March 28. The liabilities are
listed at $2,744.99, with assets of $1,-
591.20. Of the latter $1,500 is stock in
trade. The company consists of Charles
E. Rogers and George A. Taylor.

From Southern Illinois and sections
in that latitude east and west come re-
ports of poor planting weather: Roads
impassable, fields wet, little spring farm
work done and things generally at a
standstill. Merchants are waiting for
the seed selling season to open and are
not overconfident that the volume in this
branch of their business will equal last
year 's.

Reports in general for the week show
that trade is well up to the average.
Grass and field seed are in better de-
mand. * ' Fill in ' ' orders for garden
seeds, which up to the present have not
reached the volume they should, are com-
ing in fairly well. Market garden trade
is exceptionally good and the outlook
for retail counter trade is quite satis-
factory.

Chicago: — At this date last year quite
an acreage for onion sets and other crops
had been planted. So far this year not
an acre is sown. This does not prove
the present spring late, but it shows how
different one year is from another, and
how hard it is to feel certain that this
year's trade is better or worse than
last year's until all the returns are in.

Madison, S. D. — A seed company,
with capital of $25,000, has been organ-
ized here. Those interested in the enter-
prise are O. S. Jones, George Farmer,
Harvey Jones, Dr. Clough, Dr. Truden-
feld, George Irish, M. E. Hart, Albert
Wedgewood and Frank Fuller. The com-
pany will have the O. S. Jones farm at
Lake Herman. The chief purpose of the
corporation will be the growing and sale
of seeds, though the breeding of hogs
and chickens will be undertaken as side
lines. A greenhouse will be egtablished.

THAT TRADE-^MARK BILL.

I have read very carefully the proof
of the bill recently introduced into Con-
gress for the purpose of affording pro-
tection to the introducers of horticul-
tural novelties, and must say most em-
phatically it is not feasible.

In common with all other introducers
of novelties I have often felt need of
some protection, but I have never yet
been able to frame in my own mind how
this could be done by the government
without working injury to the general
horticultural and agricultural interests
of the country.

Suppose such a bill should become a
law and the introducer of the novelty

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Apbil 5, 1906.

of this erecta compacta type we have
also much improved the colors, and in-
troduced a rich, deep orange scarlet
which we called erecta compacta Man-
darin, and also a rose-colored one which
we called Eose Queen, some five or six
years ago. Then out of this Rose Queen,
the year before last we introduced one
which we called erecta compacta Intus
Rosea, which is. not only of a richer rose
color, but has the color inside the flower
as Avell as outside, and strange to say
this last season this same novelty has
been introduced both by Messrs. W.
Atlee Burpee & Co., of Philadelphia,
under the name of Burbank's Crimson
Flowering, and by Messrs. Carter & Co.,
of London, under the name of Carmine
King.

We have not been able to compare
thorn yet, but we think there can be no
doubt about it, as nature has only one
way of reproducing itself in a particular
class of flower, and this novelty of hav-
ing the color as deep, or nearly as deep,
on the inside as on the outside was
noticed by us a year before the other
two firms announced it. We thought it
might interest you to know this, and if
you have the means of trying these two
varieties, we should like you to test them,
or send them to some one to test. We
are therefore enclosing a packet of our
Intus Rosea and two sealed packets of
Carter's Carmine King, which we have
secured for the purpose, and if you are
interested, perhaps you will kindly get
a packet of Burbank's Crimson Flower-
ing from Messrs. Burpee & Co.

MR. MAULE ON ADVERTISING.

Wm. Henry Maule, of Philadelphia,
contributes the following to White's
Class Advertising:

From my own experience, and the experience
of others In my line of business, I can say that
the better papers of the agricultural press are
making better returns than ever before In their
history. In fact, most of the seedsmen and
other large advertisers with whom I am af-
qualnted, tell me that the agricultural press is
producing for them the best returns of any class
publications.

A number of us the last three or four years
switched a considerable amount of our appropria-
tion to the mail order Journals; but I find this
year the money is being spent in the strictly
agricultural papers, for the reason that while
the mail order Journals produce an immense
amount of Inquiries for catalogues, they do not
produce anything like the proportion of sales
they should. On comparison, a thousand In-
quiries from the strictly mail order Journals has
resulted in less than fifty orders, large and
small, whereas the same number of inquiries
from the better class of agricultural publications
has produced in some cases a customer for every
three queries. This speaks for Itself.

If you have n cut rate offer to make, and are
anxious to sell your seeds or other goods at half
price, possibly the mail order Journals are the

Eckford's Unique
New Sweet Pea

===== HENRY ECKPORD==

This extremely handsome and distinct flower has
caused great excitement amongst lovers of the Sweet
Pea. Perfection in shape and size and unique in color
it is needless to say that it has received recognition
wherevei shown.

Mr. Eckford writes — and we agree with him. "I will
venture the following description as to color: an intense
bright shining Orange self, quite unique and absolutely
distinct." Its three flowers are borne on long stout stems
and beautifully placed, making an ideal buttonhole flower.

The plant is wonderfully free flowering, robust,
vigorous in growth and spreading, and should be allowed
at least eighteen inches between each plant. The stock
is limited. In Eckford's original sealed packets (lo
seeds). Per pkt. 65c. (2s. 6d.) net.

QUEEN ALEXANDRA

This is an intense scarlet self of grand texture.— a bold expanded flower of finest form.
The plant is robust and must be given plenty of room,— eigbteen inches between each plant is
not too much. It is very free flowering and the flowers are of giant size with long strong
stems. This grand flower does not burn in the sun, an advantage of no mean value. This
and Henry Eckford are absolutely indispensable for exhibition. In Eckford's Original Sealed
Packets (10 seeds). Per pkt. 65c. (2s. 6d.) net.

SYBIL ECKFORD

This is not a large flower but well expanded, and frequently bears four flowers on its
long strong stems. The principal merits are its color, robustness, free-flowering and decora-
tive properties. The color gives an exquisite rich apricot and lemon effect, the standards be-
ing a delicate blush-pink shade on lemon ground; wings a delicate lemon, quite distinct and
charming. In Eckford's Original Sealed Packets (15 seeds). Per pkt. 25c.

NET. Please note that our usual discount on "seeds in packets" does not apply to
these original Eckfords. $1.25 will buy both Henry Eckford and Queen Alexandra, while
with Sybil Eckford the set will cost $1.50.

4W For other Sweet Peas and other florists' seeds see BURPEE'S "BLUE LIST"
lor 1006 which with our retail catalogue will be mailed free on application.

It certainly will pay florists to try one packet each of these three new Eckfords so as to
learn of their great value when the seed can be had at a more moderate price next season.

host; but for a straight legitimate business
proposition the agricultural press is undoubtedly,
In my estimation, in a better position than ever
before to produce satisfactory results. This ap-
plies especially to advertisers of seeds, Imple-
ments, nursery stock, etc.

You asked for my candid opinion, and I have
endeavored to give it to you. I can only sup-
plement my remarks by saying that from all
appearances this season promises to be by all
odds the most profitable the seed trade has ever
known. The farmers and gardeners of this
country have any amount of money, and they
are willing and ready to spend it for good goods.

PRIZETAKER ONION.

J. H. Bollinger, who says be has been
growing Prizetaker onions in Ohio for
over ten years, writes in the Eural New
Yorker that he can sell large fine Prize-
takers much easier at from 20 to 25
cents per bushel higher than medium
size onions of the same, or other varie-
tiee. "I have offered them to dealers
who told me they were overloaded with
onions who would on seeing them buy
as many as ten bushels at my own price.
Last fall I put off some at a store at $1
per bushel; when a man drove up loaded
with nice Yellow Globe Danvers, offering
them at 65 cents, he was only able to
sell a few. ' ' His best yield has not been
over 800 bushels per acre. He recom-
mends planting only such acreage as can
be given the very best of care.

We are pioneers in the consolidation of invoices and shipments of Bulbs, Plants, etc., for distribu-
tion to various destinations, this arrangement obviously resulting in the saving of considerable expense
in the way of fees and minimums to the various consignees, which would otherwise obtain.

Having handled nearly all of the shipments of this class of goods to Chicago and the West for
years, and being thoroughly conversant with the requirements of the law and other details, we are in a
position to name the very lowest rates on freights and Custom-House business and to guarantee prompt-
ness, accuracy and dispatch.

We shall be pleased to quote rates and furnish routing instructions on application.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

The last two weeks the weather has
been characterized by a regular winter
period, the coldest and sharpest we have
liad this winter; some 12 to 18 degrees
of frost has been experienced in eastern
counties and eight inches of snow has
fallen in some parts. Much damage will
result to many crops coming, as it has,
after the recent mild and open weather.

The South Lincolnshire bulb fields are
looking green and vigorous and will soon
be covered with millions of narcissus
blooms. The season for Lincolnshire cut
flower trade will be somewhat earlier
than usual this year and already grow-
ers are in full swing with the earliest
sorts, such as Talemonius plenus, Obvol-
laris, etc. Lincolnshire may well be de-
scribed as Holland in England, so far as
daffodils and narcissi are concerned. The
Lincolnshire growers, however, do not
seem to have made much progress in
tulip cultivation, and although some
growers have prophesied that within a
few years they would be able to compete
with Holland, they do not appear able
to do so, and fewer of the early forcing
sorts of tulips are grown each year.
Their cultivation is a losing business,
with the exception of some May flower-
ing sorts, notably the beautiful yellow
Bouton d'Or. This lovely tulip does
exceptionally well in Lincolnshire, prob-
ably better than in Holland, always
flowering well and increasing rapidly.

The building boom (I think the im-
mense quantity of glass now in course of
erection can be called a boom) con-
tinues apace, and one wonders where all
the product of these extra houses is go-

ing to in the future. The population of
the British Isles is not increasing at a
very rapid rate, but it will be an easy
matter to increase the demand if growers
will also cheapen the cost of production
of fruits, etc., so that the retail price of
grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., will
be sufficiently low to place them within
reach of the great masses of poor people
in the large manufacturing centers.
There will be no difficulty in doubling
the consumption of such goods in the
United Kingdom if prices go lower and,
as stated in some of my previous notes,
it is the aim of the English growers gen-
erally, not to obtain a Tiigher price, but
to cheapen production in all sections un-
der cultivation.

Many people engaged in picking and
working in cut narcissi and daffodils
are complaining of the poisonous nature
of the sap contained in the stalks. After
a few days' work it causes the skin to
slough from the fingers with much smart-
ing and irritation. In extreme cases the
finger nails have been known to peel
away and it is often several weeks after
work in the blooms is discontinued be-
fore the disorder disappears. A good
coating of grease put on the hands
especially under and around the nails,
before commencing work each day, is
said to serve as a preventive. Glycerine,
also, is recommended.

Traveling in Cheshire the other day 1
came across an immense quantity of
tulips and narcissi grown in cold frames.
They were perfection, both in quality of
bloom and in health and vigor of growth.
My past experience in this method of cul-
ture is that the blooms are usually too
weak and poorly colored to make them

a success, but this lot was particularly
strong and deeply colored.

The grower informed me the way to
grow them perfect was to have the
frames very shallow and not to put
over the lights until well after Christ-
mas. The bulbs, he said, should make
a full root action before covering. Plenty
of air was required during the slightest
sunshine, and particular care shoulcl be
taken to have very strong bulbs. No
artificial lieat was used, the only forc-
ing, if it could be called forcing, being
done by watering with tepid water. This
is a profitable and easy method of cul-
tivation to get bulb stock ten days ear-
lier than outdoor grown, and one also
that leaves the bulbs as healthy and
strong as when grown in the open.

WASHINGTON.

Comment.

The cut flower trade is slow, excepting
spring flowers, which move freely.
Though the large entertainments of the
season are over, there is yet considerable
entertaining in official circles, which will
continue till Congress adjourns. As all
these events call for more or less decora-
tive work, it can be readily seen that the
florists are ''friendly" to Congress.

Just now everybody is taking the
breathing spell necessary to get up pres-
sure for the strenuous work of Easter.
Though there has been considerable dark
weather, stock seems to be coming on
fast, some of it too fast, as it is coming
on the market now and has a depressing
effect. For good stock the following
prices rule, at retail: American Beauty

CLEVELAND.

Business is agiiin with us, aud last
week it soeiued to improve each day,
winding uj) Saturday with a regular
boom at tlie wholesale stores. Every-
thing seemed to go at good prices. The
retail stores wore all busy and every-
body in the trade was smiling.

H. R. Carlton is sending the Cleveland
Cut Flower Co. some fine Governor Her-
rick violets, which always sell at top
prices as soon as the shipment arrives.

Aug. Schmitt's place in Burton ave-
nue, Glenville, is looking fine, and the
number of potted plants and blooms
grown there surprises every one who
visits the place.

J. B. Harrison, of Coe Bidge, is cut-
ting some very tine carnations for the
Cleveland Cut Flower Co.

DAVENPORT, lA.

Lit tig Bros., 207 Brady .street, have
sold their stock and greenhouses to a
newly organized firm to be known as
the Allison-Pope Co. The new concern,
which assumed management March 27,
is composed of Eobert G. Allison and
E. L. Pope. Articles of incorporation
were filed March 28, with capital given
at $30,000.

The new proprietors are well known
in Davenport. Mr. Allison may be said
to be a florist by heredity. Ills father
was a florist, and his brother today
conducts a large establishment near
Ijondon, England. Until a .short time
ago he was in partnership with Mr. Lit-
tig.

Mr. Pope is a young Davenport busi-
ness man who has made that city his
home for the past two years, during
which time he has made a wide acquaint-
ance. He will be in charge of the store
and Mr. Allison will have charge of the
greenhouses.

NEW BEDFORD. MASS.

The Florists' Club held its last meet-
ing at E. Y. Pierce's greenhouses, and
I)assed a very pleasant evening.

E. E. Nofftz has opened a retail store
on "William street.

S. S. Peckham is showing some fine
lilies and expects to liave plenty of
('rimson Ramblers, lilacs, hyacinths,
tulips and daff^odils for Easter.

All florists report that trade is good,
all flowers moving rapidly. Violets are
scarce, and by Easter they will be about
all gone. F. C. C.

CUT IT OUT.

Advertisers are urged to cut out of
their advertisements in the Review any
items of stock on which they are running
low. Remember that the Review is
printed every Wednesday. Write so that
your letter will be received on Tuesday,
directing that items nearly sold out be
omitted. Don't wait until you are com-
pletely sold out; orders will keep com-
ing. Don 't neglect it. You will be at
no greater trouble to change your ad-
vertisement in the Review than you will
be to send back money — besides, you
know how it would disappoint you to
order stock and a week or so later, in-
stead of getting the goods, have the
money returned. Then, if the same
stock is listed in the advertisement in
the next Review, what would you think I
Cut it out!

We will have to ask you to discon-
tinue our advertisement of roses until
further notice, to allow us to catch up
with our orders. — S. J. Reuter, Westerly,
R. T.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Apbil 5, 1906.

PACIFIC COAST.

PUYALLUP, Wash. — Mrs. Mary . E.
Hayden, a Tacoma florist, has purchased
a tract of thirty-six acres, lying north-
west of this city. The purchase price
was $8,000.

The legislature of California has
passed an act making it a crime for a
nurseryman or other person to sell or
dispose of any fruit tree which has not
been properly labeled as to the variety.

POTTED PLANTS IN THE SHOP.

How far the retail dealer in cut
flowers in San Francisco should bother
himself with potted plants in his store
is always a puzzling question, and
whether they pay for the trouble they
cause will also give food for reflection.

In the first place, whenever the re-
tailer keeps a few plants on hand, they
invariably attract the attention of
"shoppers" and much time is often
consumed in an effort to make a sale.
When the purchaser finally decides to
take something, the florist invariably has
to agree to take the plant back in case
it does not grow as well as is expected.
Of course it is hardly necessary to say
in this case that the plant is sick "nigh
unto death ' ' in about two weeks or less
jand the lady brings it back and the
usual conversation takes place:

* ' I bought this plant here only a week
ago and it looks as if it were going to
die. You told me in case it did not do
well to bring it back and you would give
me something else." The florist takes
it in hand and discovers that it has been
standing in a jardiniere half full of
water all that time and it was surpris-
ing that it looked as well as it did. Of
course, several of the sprays have been
cut oft" and the poor florist puts it under
the counter until some wholesale man
comes around and takes it back to the
nursery. In the meanwhile the lady
comes back and after exaggerating the
price paid previously selects something
else instead, remarking that she will
keep this plant in any event.

Well kept ferns, palms and flowering
plants greatly enhance the beauty of a
floral establishment and are in good
keeping with the business. If the re-
tailer has a greenhouse in connection
with his store he can, of course, handle
them to much better advantage and keep
them in better shape. If not, he should
make arrangements with a grower to
give him a change of stock at least once
a week. In this way the plants do not
suffer as mucli as to keep them until
they become too shabby to sell, either
from the change of atmosphere or care-
lessness in handling.

Florists' helpers are usually very care-
less in regard to potted plants. They
usually forget to water them until their
attention is called by some customer to
the fact that the plants need water; or
else they nip off any extra nice shoots,
if the plant is a fern, and if a flower-
ing plant the blooms generally disap-
pear in some way, all of which is rather
annoying to the owner.

For special occasions it is, of course,
necessary to make a good showing of
potted plants in bloom and particular
pains must be put forth. All stock, how-
ever, remainng after that date should
be returned to the nursery and given a
chance to recuperate.

Unless a florist makes a specialty of
potted plants, and has greenhouse facili-
ties for handling them, he will do much
better not to buy them outright, but to
get stock that may be changed each
week, if necessary, thereby always keep-
ing up a good show.

Everyone knows how long a delicate
fern, palm or flowering plant lasts in a
store, and the least attractive feature
can be made one of the best paying if
handled rightly. G.

PORTLAND, ORE.

We are still occupying the same posi-
tion on the map though growing and ex-
panding with the prosperity of the coun-
try. And we are going right ahead
and everybody busy. Trade has been re-
markable for twq months, the Lenten
season making no p>erceptible difference
in the general sale ^£ flowers. Funeral
work has been a bf^ item, while the so-
cial life demanded and was willing to
pay for the best in the market. With
the exception of a short cold snap in the
early part of March, which made poor
robin hop to the barn, we have been
favored with ideal spring weather;
flowers of all kinds are plentiful but not
in oversupply. The bright sunshine has-
tened along outside bulbous stock which
is so popular here for decorative work.
Everything in this line has sold well and
profitably this year. Too much cannot
be said of the quality of roses and car-
nations, for they are simply grand and
our one hope is that they may hold to
their present standard of excellence until
after Easter. Lilies, too, are looking
fine and will be on hand when we want
them. We are safe in predicting a big
Easter trade, as there will be little com-
petition out of doors on account of the
late heavy frosts.

Gardening and early planting have be-
gun in earnest and the lawn mower is
again being pressed into service. We can
hardly expect to eclipse last year's sales
in this line, when every resident planted
a bed of roses in honor of Lewis and
Clark. But the fence is still prevalent

The Market

Business continues to be very quiet,
due both to the season and the weather.
Flowers are coming into town much fast-
er than they are being disposed of by
the retailers and as a consequence con-
siderable stock remains unsold.

Carnations have fallen a little in
price and the best of the fancy sorts
can now be had at three dozen for
$1. Second quality are selling at 25
cents per dozen.

Koses, except fancy Beauties, move
very slowly and it is fortunate that only
a limited quantity are shipped into this
market.

Violets are out of season again and
wc will see little more of them until
next winter. Tulips of the late bloom-
ing varieties sell well. They cost the
retailers from 35 cents to 50 cents per

dozen. All varieties of narcissi and
daffodils are on the wane and only a
few of the spring flowering varieties are
seen.

Regarding prospects for Easter
trade: Several dealers have made men-
tion of the fact that there seems to be
a scarcity of orders from the country
thus far. Many retailers cater to the
out-of-town trade and it is probable in
a week or two they may have a more
pleasant tale to tell.

It is certain there will be an abund-
ance of flowers of every description in
any event.

Variotic Notes.

A visit to the greenhouses of Sievers
& Co. shows a big stock of young pe-
largoniums in small pots in healthy con-
dition. This firm makes a specialty of
this stock and devotes an entire house
to its culture.

J. P. Nissen is replanting sidewalk
trees in the town of Berkeley, where, for
some reason, the stock planted last sea-
son has died out.

The Society Hortensia, of Alameda
county, had its regular meeting on Satur-
day night last. A spring flower and
bulb show is in contemplation.

H. H. Lilienthal, until recently editor
of the Pacific Coast Horticulturist, is at
present engaged in landscape work in
Berkeley.

The report of the grand jury of Ala-
meda county recently filed, called atten-
tion to * ' graft ' ' in the furnishing of
the county grounds with decorative
plants and seeds.

Serveau Bros, are in line with a big
stock' 'of spring flowering plants. They

have gained considerable reputation
from the extra good line of pansies they
are at present growing.

The Market.

The market has been good the past
week and business for March compares
favorably with the corresponding month
of last year. The weather has been good
and the indications are that Easter trade
will be first class.

American Beauty roses are again com-
ing into crop; some very fine long stems
are now being cut and are easily dis-
posed of. N. A. Benson, Ben Boldt and
the Park Floral Co. are cutting perhaps
the best in town. The retail price runs
from $3 to $8 per dozen.

Brides and Maids are now coming in
larger quantities and quality excellent.
The best grades hold their value, but
the shorter stock does not move so well.
Red roses are also plentiful, both Rich-
mond and Liberty, and sell fairly well.
Chatenay is also of excellent quality.

Carnations go around, with fairly
active business. A low limit was set by
one of the department stores last Satur-
day, selling at 35 cents per dozen, but
the stock was not of fancy quality.

Easter lilies are coming in, but some
are small and poor, as was evidenced by
one of the department stores selling them
at 17 cents per bloom retail, which per-
haps were all they were worth. There
are varying opinions as to what the Eas-
ter supply will be. Some report that
their lilies will be lovely, and others say

that they are not going to make it in
time without hard forcing. It looks aa
though there would be plenty of lilies
of low quality, but none too many of
good grade. Only three large lots are in
sight.

Violets are plentiful and will be for
Easter, unless the weather should put a
damper on them. Growers say there will
l)e enough for all purposes at 50 and 75
cents. Bulbous stock has sold well and
Avill be popular for the Easter trade, at
medium prices.

Blooming roses will be among the best
Easter sellers, and one of the leaders
will undoubtedly be the Baby Rambler, of
which quite a few are seen at the l&rga
shops.

Various Notes.

The Alpha Floral Co. will have a
branch store for Easter trade in the old
Glenarm hotel building.

It is reported that Elitch's Garden
greenhouses are contemplating putting
up 25,000 feet more glass the coming

is Prunns Pi.ssardi Moseri tlore pleno.
Besides its foliage being of the bright

still more ornamental by the very pleas-

<loul)le and a little larger than those of
P. Pissardi, somewhat resembling those
of P. triloba. Jt was raised by Moser

that the results from the trials made
show that it will be a valuable addition
to the list of plants useful for forcing

SCHCXDL OF HORTICULTURE.

From a beautiful bulletin of the Iowa
State Agricultural ('ollege we learn that
the department of horticulture and for-
estry offers most excellent opportunities
for observation and study. The depart-
ment has a two-story laboratory for hor-
ticulture, containing the main laboratory
for general instruction and research
rooms for special students. The green-
houses, covering 5,000 square feet, offer
every opportunity for studying the man-
ao-ement of plants under glass. In addi-
tion to tills, about forty acres of land
are devoted to horticultural purposes,
orchards, gardens and forestry planta-
tions, thus enabling the students to make
actual testa of tlie worth of different
varieties, modes of culture and adapta-
bility of soil and climate.

Instruction is also offoreil in the
.science of forestry — -studying the pro-
duction of timber for various purposes,
the preservation of timber, lumbering
operations and the general forest con-
ditions of the country. Excellent oppor-
tunities are offered here for this study.
Many varieties of both native and for-
eign trees are found on or near the
campus, which, together with the large
collection of specimens found in the
museum, afford ample examples for
study. The library, which is always at
the disposal of the students, is also well
supplied with literature relating to botli
horticulture and forestry.

THE CODLING MOTH.

The codling moth is familiar to every
grower or consumer of apples, and a
wormy apple, the result of its work,
scarcely needs description. Such an ap-
ple is practically unsalable or, at best,
fetches a very small price. The mone-
tary loss thus occasioned by this insect
is greater than that due to any other
insect pest affecting fruits.

It has been shown by careful estimates
in various apple-growing states that this
insect may cause a loss of from twenty
to forty per cent of the fruit which
would otherwise be sound and merchant-
able. The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture estimates that this loss, on the
lowest or twenty per cent basis, amounts
annually to $n, 400,000 in the United
States, and this does not include the ex-
penditures for spraying trees with ar-
senicals, which amount to more than $8,-
000,000 additional, indicating a total loss
chargeable to the codling moth of near-
ly $20,000,000. Great as this loss still
is, it has been very mudi limited by
measures of control which are becoming
more and more Avidely adopted, and
many apple growers in badly infested re-
gions are now saving every year more
than eighty-five per cent of the fruit
which would, without treatment, be
wormy.

Spraying with some arsenical is now
recognized as the best means of con-
trolling the codling moth. The object
is to poison the young larva; before they
enter the fruit. The larva? get the poison

while feeding on the leaves, or in the
calyx, or on the sides of the fruit. Paris
green is probably the best known of
these arsenicals. It is a definite chem-
ical compound of arsenic, copper, and
acetic acid, and should have a uniform
composition. It is a rather coarse pow-
der, and has the fault of settling rapid-
ly. It costs about 20 cents a pound. It
may be prepared for spraying as fol-
lows:

Parl8 green pounds 1

Lime pounds 3

Water gallons 150

The lime should be fresh and should
be slaked in (jtTantities as required. Mix
the Paris green with a little water until
a paste is formed, and then add this to
the required amount of water, to which
the lime has been added. A good aver-
age strength to use is one pound to 150
gallons, but it must be weaker on trees
with delicate foliage.

SPRAYING WITH ACETYLENE.

Mention was made some months ago
in the Journal of an apparatus used for
spraying plants with a mixture of acety-
lene lime and copper compounds. The
idea was to use this instead of the wide-
ly employed Bordeaux mixture familiar
to horticulturists. The plan included the
use of the natural pressure arising from
the production of acetylene for forcing
the liquid mixture on the plants. We
have had accounts from Europe, also
from South Africa, of the success of
this, the Laurens, invention. Now we
learn from the Algerian acetylene jour-
nal that this new spraying system has
found extensive and successful employ-
ment in Algeria. The apparatus is said
to be used at various agricultural sta-
tions, more especially in the places where
the vine is cultivated. The apparatus is
simply a portable closed cylinder filled
with a solution of copper sulphate, a
charge of carbide being brought into
contact with the liquid when required to
force the products of the chemical reac-
tions out through a flexible pipe and jet.

LIME IN SOILS.

I would like to know if lime dressing
of the soil before planting asters will
kill insects or drive them away; also
how to ai>ply the lime, and in what quan-
tity? F. E. M.

I could have answered this query much
more intelligently if you had stated the
quality of your soil. The use of lime in
agriculture is known to be an ancient
practice. It is of greatest benefit on
heavy mudk soil, such as comprises the
great prairie areas of Illinois, but often
of no benefit to a sandy soil. I consider
it of great help to carnations. We have a
few acres of land twenty-five miles east
of Bufl'alo that is full of lime. It came
there during the glacial period, about a
million years ago. The late Prof, John
Fiske, of Harvard, in his beautiful little
book, Through Nature to God, says there
is indisputable evidence that man in a
primitive form was on .the earth and
lived through it. Happy old man. He
must have been chilly, but coal strikes
didn't bother him. He was his own
miner, tailor, cook, butcher and cliauffeur
and I'll bet he made his frau do all the
snow shoveling and other hard work.

These large slabs of limestone were
carried by the glacier on its journey
southward from a neighboring ridge of
solid limestone some ten miles north of
us. As the glacier melted it dropped
what it had collected as it scraped over
the surface of the earth, leveling off the
tops of small hills and gouging out val-
leys. A lump of ice a mile thick and of
unknown length would have been irre-
sistible, so in the course of ages, before
Chicago was born, these lumps of ice be-
came disintegrated and crumbled inta
fragments from pieces affording two
cords of building stone to dust. The
granite boulders in the same field re-
main intact, rounded only to a smooth
surface by the countless rains and snows
of the seasons. Such a quantity of lime
in the soil is, I think, why we can grow
good carnations without any very expert
knowledge. Generally plants of higher
order enjoy lime, anil many of the dis-
tricts of Europe would be 'unproductive
without the help of lime, particularly the
peaty soil of northern Germany,

Lime is used for two purposes. First,
to release other plant food ingredients,
and next, to lighten up the soil and make
it more porous. We grow good carna-
tions, but never noticed that asters were
more than ordinary. While tlije great
majority of the higher plants are bene-
fited by lime, some exceptions occur, The
erica family is not only injured but de-
stroyed by lime.

My real, sober opinion i.s that a dress-
ing of lime will be of benefit to a field
of asters. It may destroy the larvae of
insects. The quantity is one ton of lime
to an acre of ground. It should be com-
posted Avith equal parts of muck or loam.
That is the best wav to apply it.

VICTORY

All Correspipdence to ALEX. J. GUTTMAN,
Wholesale Florist, 43 West 28th St.

OUHMAN & WEBER

43 WEST 28TH STREET and
LYNBROOK. L I.

New York, April 5, 1906.

TO CARNATION GROWERS EVERYWHERE:

Notwithstanding the phenomenal demand for Victory every day
of the week since it was placed on sale, we are glad to tell you
that we will have right along an abundance of cuttings sufficient
to meet the demand, no matter how large it may become.

Victory's career has been a remarkable one. The highest
honors have been accorded it wherever exhibited. It still stands
pre-eminent among the Scarlet Carnations. No flower compares
with it in the carnation family for its keeping qualities. A
journey across the ocean found it in fresh condition upon

arrival.

No Carnation is more prolific than victory nor does any
Carnation give you as large a flower. Blooms averaging three and

a half inches.

A Victory plant has no surplus grass, every shoot means a
flower. Victory comes in early and you want a Scarlet Carnation
for Thanksgiving and Christmas trade.

A batch of strong cuttings from soil and pots up to three
inches are now ready for delivery. Send your orders and you will

not have to wait.

Prices: $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. 250 at the 1000
rate. Discount for cash with order.

Yours very truly,

GUTTMAN & WEBER.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

April 5, 1906.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

A peculiar week is what one must call
the past seven days. The first three days
business seemed at a standstill and the
weather was acting its very worst; the
wholesalers were about drowned out.
The last three days things took a change
for the better and a demand for stock
came from almost everywhere. By Sat-
urday night the wholesale houses were
cleaned out of almost everything. Of
course stock sold cheaply, but it is better
to let it go at some price than go to the
dump. Violets cleaned up much better,
probably owing to the grand opera. On
the whole, March of 1906 is reported to
have been a better month than the corre-
sponding period last year. This should
afford some satisfaction.

VariotM Notes.

^ Tuesday night is club night. The sub-
ject is Easter flowers. President Jones
has been around stirring up the boys,
and it is certain the meeting will be a
good one.

Blind Bros, had quite an elaborate
decoration for the Jos. Home Co., for
its millinery opening.

Bandolph & McClements were busy on
funeral work the last of the week.
Blankets of roses 8x10 feet are one of
their specialties, and they seem to come
pretty regularly.

Mrs. E. A. Williams is showing some
novelties in plant arrangements for Eas-
ter which are bound to sell.

A. W. Smith had two very handsome
windows this week, one of hydrangeas,
the other of azaleas.

Walter Breitenstein, of Breitenstein &
Flemm, was "down east" recently, and
you will see the result in a day or two,
as he usually gets something out of the
ordinary and puts it out a few days be-
fore the holiday. As the buyers have not
become tired looking at it, he gets top
prices.

Wm. Schmidt, of Johnstown, Pa., has
moved to a new location on Franklin
street, where he will have better facili-
ties for taking care of his growing trade.

Chal Peterson, of East Liverpool, 0.,
is happy in having his new store ready
for business.

])ecially true of white flowers. After the
morning's first rush there are very few
left. This is due to the large amount of
funeral work that is being made up.

Roses continue to be in good supply,
but carnations are beginning to show
signs of becoming scarce. This is prob-
ably due to the recent dark weather, but
there is not a very large t'rop in sight.
Bulbous stock is selling very well^ and
though at times the price is not very
good, in the long run it averages up well.
White tulips, hyacinths and narcissi
bring the top price and sell on sight.
Lilies of all kinds are going very nicely
and bringing a better average price.

Easter orders are coming in, and from
indications we are going to have a record-
breaker this year. The shipping trade
will be especially good. We will have
more roses than carnations, but with a
week of bright sun this condition is very
likely to be changed. The supply of
bulbous flowers will be larger than usual
and the quality will be of the best. This
is especially true of Easter lilies, which
will be in fine form this year. The mar-
ket will be well supplied with other lines
of flowers.

Various Notes.

Owing to the regular meeting date of
our Florists' Society falling on the Sat-
urday before Easter, it has been decided
to postpone the meeting till the Saturday
following, which will be April 21, There
will be mucli business of importance to
be transacted at this meeting, also sev-
eral topics of special interest to be dis-
cussed. A large attendance is especially
requested.

Mrs. Garges has been on the sick list,
suffering with a severe cold, but has now
recovered sufficiently to be about again.

Visitors the past week were Mr. and
Mrs. R. Buck, of Washington Court
House, O., and E. J. Fancourt, of S. S.
Philadelphia.

The Weekly Florists' Review,

April 6, 1906.

INDIANAPOLIS.

Current G>fnfnent.

The weather and trade have both been
dull for the past week, ending in another
heavy fall of snow Friday night and
Saturday morning. By noon Saturday,
however, the sun was shining brightly
and the snow fast disappearing, we all
hope for the last time this season. We
shall need all the sunshine we can get
between now and Easter to help get
some of those belated plants in.

Huntington & Page have opened a fine
branch store in the big Traction Ter-
minal building, in Illinois street. They
will carry a full line of cut flowers and
plants. Miss Truitt has charge of the
floral department, while Miss Webb con-
tinues to preside at the main store in
Market- street.

Becoming disgusted with the weather
and trade last week. Homer Wiegand
shook the mud of Indianapolis off his
feet and sampled that of the Kankakee
swamps, looking for ducks. He returned
all right and reports the ' ' cooking ' ' fine,
also the ducks he didn't get.

John Eieman is about again after be-
ing confined to his house for ten days
with rheumatic gout.

W. W. Coles and son, of Kokomo, vis-
ited the different greenhouses this week,
looking for anything new in construction
methods, etc. Mr. Coles is expecting to
make a nice addition to his plant this
summer.

Mart Nelson narrowly escaped being
burned out a week ago, when the soot in
his smoke stack caught fire, igniting the
roof of his boiler shed. Fortunately his
wife noticed it in time, and with the aid
of a few bucketf uls of water extinguished
the flames.

Carl Glaubke, of Malott Park, is go-
ing in extensively for truck gardening
this year. He recently joined the noble
army of benedicts and he has the good
wishes of his many friends in both ven-
tures. S.

The Market.

Although the weather still remains
quite cold, spring openings in the stores
are heralds of the nearness of Easter.
Several of the retailers have been kept
busy with large store decorations. This
and an unusual amount of funeral work
has somewhat cleaned up the glut of a
few weeks ago. Very few roses are seen
in the local market.

The growers are again holding back
carnations for the holiday. Nothing
but harm can result from this practice.
Our customers do not want pickled stock,
and especially during the holidays have
they a right to demand fresh flowers,
as the price is usually doubled. Every
customer lost indirectly hurts some
grower.

Violets are already showing the effects
of warmer weather.

Calla lilies are overplentiful, while
longiflorums are just the opposite, more
especially in the long-stemmed flowers.

Longiflorum lily plants for Easter are
plentiful, but are of unusually short
stalks.

There seems to be an abundance of
blooming plants this season.

Various Notes.

Robert Watson was on the sick list,
but is again able to be around.

Breitmeyer's delivery boys are ar-
rayed in fine new uniforms of a light
brown material with brown leather
gaiters.

Schroeter's received a large consign-
ment of roses from S. S. Pennock, of
Philadelphia. They arrived in fine
shape. H, S.

TOPEKA, KAN.

Peter Miller, a florist of northern In-
diana, has been prospecting here for sev-
eral days with the object of selecting a
suitable location near the city for the
location of a range of houses. Mr.
Miller will erect a wholesale and retail
establishment either this summer or next
spring. He considers Topeka an ideal
opening for such an enterprise. He has
the experience and push and there is
plenty of capital back of him so, when
once started, the project should prove a
success.

Here is a dollar for renewal of our
subscription to the florists' best paper.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., March 22, 1906.
MR. E. V. 8IDELL,

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y.

Dear Sir:— Having used your "powdered char-
coal" in the composition of soil for Violets last
season, we are very much pleased wih the result

Having used it in place of "wood ash" we con-
sider its fertilizing properties more beneficial in
many ways, and the cost much less.

Its chemical action on the soil is marvelous
being lasting on account of stirring up the other
fertilizing elements, absorbing their gases, and
again giving them off, for tae nourishment of
plants.

We highly recommend the use of charcoal
powder to all interested in growing Violets.
Very truly yours,

THOS. DeVOY & SON.

DAYTON, OHIO.

The Dayton Florists* Club held an en-
thusiastic meeting Monday evening,
March 26, at which a number of ama-
teur floriculturists were admitted to mem-
bership. The principal event of the
evening was the report by J. B. Heiss
on the progress of the national conven-
tion which is to be held here next Au-
gust. The liberality of the city officials,
of the fair grounds board commission-
ers and of the corporations was grate-
fully commented upon.

At a meeting held last Thursday be-
tween H. H. Bitter, Mr. Altick, J. B.
Heiss and the officials of the National
Cash Eegister Co., part of the plans
were made for the entertainment of the
convention. It was announced with re-
gret that the official report on the pro-
gram by the national committee had not
arrived. The N. C. E. people plan an
elaborate entertainment.

Mr. Bartholomew, of the Miami Floral
Co., as a member of the finance com-
mittee, submitted a list of names of
well known residents of Dayton who
voluntarily offered financial aid to the
committee.

Aurora, III. — The local greenhouse
men are feeling the competition of a
Greek flower store recently opened and
which is making a big show whenever
stock is to be had at cheap prices. There
is one consoling feature, however. The
Greeks are educating people to buy
flowers who never before thought of such
a thing.

BALTIMORE.

The Market

The, cut flower business has been
rather quiet during the past -week, and
the weather has been anything but favor-
able. Roses have accumulated from day
to day and only the choice stock finds
a fair sale. Owing to the weather con-
ditions, there were few to be seen on
the street.

Carnations are now coming in more
plentifully and the demand has kept
steady for the better quality. Gene-
vieve Lord is largely grown around here
and seems to be about the best all-
around carnation. In white Flora Hill is
still the largest grown, and it takes a
good one to excel it in freedom, fra-
grance, size and, last but not least, keep-
ing quality.

Asparagus and smilax are not equal
to the demand. Violets are holding
their own pretty well and the best sell
for 40 cents per hundred. Sweet peas
are improving in quality and quantity,
and sell fairly well. Callas and Harrisii
have been in oversupply the past week,
and southern jonquils are hard to dis-
pose of.

Various Notes.

Miss Anna Friedel, assistant book-
keeper at the Florists' Exchange, is
very ill.

In general Easter stock this year is
in very good shape and a larger assort-
ment has been grown than in previous
years.

At the last club meeting a very fine
pair of solid gold cuff links were pre-
sented to Thos. Patterson for securing
the largest number of new members.
The club offers a similar premium on
members secured during the present
year.

Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer
Co., Philadelphia, was a visitor.

Carnation Cuttings

— FROM SAND OR SOIL =

We have an exceptionally fine lot of cuttings of the following varieties
ready for immediate shipment^ strong and well-rooted cuttings and

guaranteed to be Al in every respect.

Lady Bountiful— White

This we consider at the head of the list of fancy white varieties; it is early,
free and produces an abundance of high-grade blooms throughout the season; we
can supply them from sand or soil at the following prices: $4.00 per 100]
$30.00 per 1000.

Mrs. M. A. Patten— Variegated

This we consider the best variegated carnation for commercial purposes,
all points considered; we have them in quantity from sand or soil. $3.00 per
lOO; $25.00 per 1000.

Enchantress— Light pink

This popular variety needs no description; it is undoubtedly the best Carnation
ever disseminated; we have them in quantity: $3.00 per lOOj $20.00 per 1000.

Boston Market— White

For an all-round commercial variety it has no equal, it is remarkably free and
vigorous and will pay more per square foot than any other white if properly
grown; if you have grown Boston Market and not found it so it is the fault of
your methods of growing; it needs lots of feeding from the start, and will then
give you an abundance of medium large to fancy flowers throughout the season.
It is eagerly sought in the Chicago market on account of its superior keeping
qualities; we have them in quantity from sand and soil at the following prices :
$1.50 per lOO; $12.50 per 1000.

Mrs. Te We Lawson— Pink

We have this most popular variety in large quantity, excellent stock at
$1.50 per 100 ; $12.50 per 1000.

We have also a large assortment of other standard varieties of Carnations,
and shall be pleased to quote you a low price on large quantities. We are strictly
Carnation Specialists and devote all our time and place to Carnations and
it stands to reason that we are better able to take care of your wants than other
houses that devote their attention to a half dozen different cultures.

COLOR

A beautiful light pink, deeper in center, shading out
to light pink on edge of petals.

SHAPE

Something like Richmond, but fuller.

SIZE

Larger than Richmond.

FOLIAGE

Dark green, heavy as American Beauty.

GROWTH

Vigorous, producing strong shoots, and every slioot
produces a flower.

BLOOMING

Steady, all the year around, not a cropper.

This Rose has averaged the originator more than any
other Rose, and it brings better prices over the retail counter.
It has replaced American Beauty in local retail stores.

A prize winner and medal winner, and the subject of
praise by all who have seen it.

A fine lot of plants now ready for delivery ; another

Dear Sir : — I wish to congrat-

"Queen Beatrice." 1 consider it
a rose entirely in a class by

I do not think we have anything
to compare with it. As a whole-

are ready for market, Philadel

one of the most profitable vari

that we have had in years.

Queen Beatrice, the new Rose
grown by F. H. Kramer, is a
beauty. The dark green foliage,
long stiff stem, and magnificent
tlowers which are simply beauti-
ful at all stages of development,
from the small buds to full, open
flowers, which have an agreeable
fragrance, together with its color,
which has a pleasing eflfect, are
sure to make tlie rose popular
and well worthy of the name
Queen.

As a seller It ought to be un-
surpassed.

Hardy Perennial Plants

Ie are making a specialty of Hardy Perennial, or Hardy Herbaceous Plants, and have a very large stock
of them, particularly in Hollyhocks, Anemones, Columbines, Irises, Gaillardias, Larkspurs, Sweet
Williams, Hardy Pinks, Foxgloves, Phloxes, Oriental Poppies, Pyrethrums and Veronicas. Many
Florists and Nurserymen, who have a local trade, reap a double profit from Hardy Perennials by
making a home planting— a profit from the flowers they produce and one from the sale of plants. By

having Hardy Perennials in flower to show their patrons, they are enabled to greatly increase sales, and the

increase from the plants themselves is frequently many fold.

Diseased Petunias.

Referring to your answer to W. N. T.,
I beg to say that I have often noticed
the green excrescence on old petunia
plants. I break them off and burn them.
I have never noticed that cuttings from
the same plants were similarly affected.
J have grown double petunias from seeds
for many years, both from seeds of my
own raising and from those bought of
other florists, and while the plants are
usually healthy, it is seldom I get any-
thing choice and very rarely that I se-
cure anything of unusual merit. I grow
my best varieties year after year from
cuttings. I suppose they will run out
some time, but I would not like to trust
to seeds to produce anything like the
old Pink Beauty, or even a fine frilled
fringed single rose-colored variety that
I have perpetuated several years from
cuttings and use summers; fertilizing the
blossoms with pollen from double varie-
ties to raise double seeds. I would not
advise anyone to discard a really choice
petunia under expectation of getting
something equally good from seed. I
write from experience extending over a
period of about twenty years.

but can also be used for outside work with best results. It consists of pipes and tips so arranged that a continuous sheet of
'water the full length of the house can be supplied to a bench of plants and at the will of ihe operator can be directed upward
from underneath the plants, downward from above the plants or parallel with the bench so that only the soil in the bench is
watered. It can be used for syringing or watering. An entire house can be watered or syringed in only a few minutes. It is a
permanent asset after being once installed, as it will never wear out, it is inexpensive and will save its cost in hose and labor
in the first six months.

Here Are Letters from Well-pleased Users

The balance of our watering machine nozzles arrived to-day.
Please rush out the balance of our fittings, etc., at once, as we
wish to have our entire range fitted up with your watering system.
We are much pleased with the working of the section which we have
in at present and we are perfectly satisfied that the time will be
very short when all uxHto-dkta growers will use your system Instead
of the present method of watering with the hose.

In reply to your Inquiry as to the nozzles, I wish to say that we
do not believe it possible to improve upon them, as they do not clog
up, and when spaced the proper distances apart they throw exactly
the same amount of water In all parts of the bench. We think
the smaller size nozzles would be better for some things, say cuttings
or transplanted seedlings, small pot stuff, etc., but we like the
large half-Inch nozzles best and think that they are the thing for
all benched crops. We place them sixteen feet apart and have the
feed pipe about four feet above tlie soil in the benches. We, how-
ever, have a very high water pressure here and with less pressure
the nozzles would have to be closer together. We are more than
pleased with our experiment and feel safe to predict that mechanical
watering can and will be used for all greenhouse crops in the near
future. W. B. DAVIS & CO.

Aurora, 111., Feb. 2, 1906.

Some time ago we put In one hundred feet of your watering sys-
tem on trial and find it has given perfect satisfaction. Please send
us five hundred feet more as soon as possible, and when we can get
to It we want eighteen hundred feet more to fit out our other houses.
We think the system a very good thing and consider the labor
saved by It will pay for the apparatus In one season.

Trusting that you will send the five hundred feet at your earliest
possible convenience, we remain, Yours truly, DAVIS BROS.

Morrison, 111., July 28. 1905.

Your watering system which we ordered as an experiment and
with which we equipped one of our rose houses is doing the work
to our entire satisfaction, and we have decided to equip five more
houses with your system. You may send us at your earliest con-
venience 1,000 feet ready to put up.

We wish to state that your system of watering is certainly a suc-
cess and when better known will be universally used. The time
saved in labor will pay for the system In a short time.

Kindly rush this order, as we have time at present to do the
work. KLEHM'S NURSERIES.

Arlington Heights, 111., Feb. 10, 190C.

In regard to your watering system, I think It a fine thing. I have
raised one crop of lettuce and did not use the hose once. It waters
a space about twenty feet wide and the way we put It In the cost
is not very much. I used black pipe and cannot see but It Is as
good as galvanized. This is the last winter I shall use a hose.
Will pipe all my place before another winter. Will have 46,000 feet
all in lettuce, so you see the water problem Is a serious one with
me. My houses are thirty-four feet wide and two lines water
them well.

I see no good reason why it should not come Into general use and
wonder why greenhouse men have not taken hold more. I certainly
would be glad to recommend it to anyone. The water is put on
more evenly tlian the average man will with a hoee, and another
great advantage, the watering can be done at the best time for
the good of the plants.

I wish you the best of success with your system and anything I
can do to help you to Introduce It will be glad to do It.

STEPHEN HYDE.
Carthage, Mo., Feb. 6, 1906.

[Note that each letter contains a re-order— that's what talks]
It will pay grrovers to visit either of the Geo. Wittbold Co.'s two places or any of the above and see the system working.

The system can be fed from one end if sufficient pressure is available and a swivel wheel used to ttim the pipe. This is
the most simple means of giving same a trial. Swivel wheel will cost $2.00 and '.>-inch nozzles (which can be screwed into tees)
50 cents each. These can be placed on pipe from 10 to 50 feet apart, according to pressure of water.

A swivel wheel and six nozzles, which will cost
$5.00, will be the best investment a florist can make and
will show exactly what the system will do.

When watering or syringing is to be done and spray is
obstructed by foliage, my small nozzle and >^-inch pipe
tapped and fed every 25 feet is best. This system with all
connections and pipe ready to put up will cost you $20.00 per
100 feet.

The Wittbold Hose Nozzle

for greenhouse or garden use is far superior to
anything on the market, the spray can be
changed instantly from a fine fan-shaped spray
into any form or shape the operator may desire,
by simply pushing a sleeve backward and for-
'ward. This can be done as
qtiickly as taking the finger
on and off the hose.

KNIPHOFIAS.

Becent introductions of species of kni-
phofia, or tritoma, as they are more fre-
quently called, and the good products of
skilful hybridists who have raised new
color varieties from species already well
known, have increased the garden value
of this genus. They can now be had in
many fascinating shades of color, rang-
ing from creamy white through all shades
of yellow, apricot, coral, red and crim-
son, either self-colored or in the two or
three contrasting shades peculiar to the
group.

Early winter and early spring are the
best seasons for moving and planting
kniphofias, and the Gardeners' Chronicle
says it is preferable in naturally reten-
tive soils to cover the crowns with but
three inches of soil, or decay may ensue;
their own contractile roots will pull the
plants deeper into the ground as growth
goes on. Practically all species are hardy
in England and in the United States
south of Philadelphia, if wey protected,
but farther north they should be dried
and stored over winter and replanted in
spring. Firm planting is desirable, and
the roots should be spread apart to en-
sure good anchorage and thus prevent
frosts lifting the plants above the ground

level and exposing the rootstock. If the
plantation is a new one and the plants
have to be purchased, only those should
be chosen whose leaves and roots are
uncut.

Many nurserymen still follow the un-
fortunate practice of trimming the roots
and leaves of kniphofias close to the root-
stock, treating the plants as though they
were deciduous bulbs — nothing can be
more detrimental to the plant's welfare
than this. The sh6rtened leaves form a
perfect funnel to conduct water to the
rootstock in the depth of winter, and the
mutilated roots are in a soddened state

AMARYLLIS.

Hippeastrums, or amaryllises are not
usually looked upon as suitable for mar-
ket work; yet from what I gather from
K. Drost, of Kichmond, there seems a
future for them. Mr. Drost grows them
in large quantities and has a tine strain;
considering they are all unnamed seed-
lings. This in the first place shows what
may be done in the way of getting good
stock from seed; for among the large
number grown very few of inferior type
are seen. By cutting the flowers before
they are too far developed they last fairly
well, and they are much appreciated for
decorations. I should hardly think it
would prove profitable if we got too many
on the market, yet with the style of deco-
rations now in fashion they are most
suitable. There may be few who would
succeed so well with them as Mr. Drost
does, and being closely connected with
the west end florists, he has another ad-
vantage: most of his blooms are on order
even before they are ready to cut. Those
who would take up their culture must be
in connection with the florists who have
choice work to carry out. If sent to
Covent Garden market, some mornings
they might sell at top- prices, but it might
often happen that there would be no de-
mand for them, for I know the same
thing occurs wiw other choice flowers.

I believe it is chiefly for cut bloom
that Mr. Drost grows the amaryllis, yet
as pot plants for decorations they are
very effective. They are just the sort
of plants to stand up well among choice
ferns, as they give a little relief without
detracting from the beauty of the ferns.
We are now getting a surplus of many
things which, a few years ago, were diflS-
cult to procure, and it becomes more and
more necessary to look for something
fresh for choice work, and in the amaryl-
lis we have at least one subject that has
not yet been overdone, and there should
be an opening for anyone to make a
profitable return if they did them well. —
Horticultural Advertiser.

HAIL.

E. r. Walter, of Junction City, Kan.,
thinks if cannonading will disperse hail
storms the United States government
might try the experiment by sending a
battery of artillery over from Fort Kiley
to do the trick.

John G. Esler supplements this by sug-
gesting that the government have a flying
machine equipped with wireless appa-
ratus, searching for the hail storm, so
that the battery won't waste powder on
anything but the real article.

FOSTER VALVE SPECIALTIES

Mr. Peter Reinberg, of Chicago, formerly had considerable
difficulty in obtaining an even temperature in his greenhouses, as
the heat would vary every time the boiler was fired. He remedied
his troubles by placing a large 10-inch

Foster Pressure Regulator

on his main feed pipe just inside the greenhouses. Now, if the
weather grows colder, instead of turning on more pipes, the
grower in charge simply turns up on the adjusting nut of the
fOSItR VALVE and obtains more steam, hence heat.

Would Not a Foster Pressure Regulator be of Service in Your Greenhouse ?

It is an apparent economy judging by Mr. Reinberg's experience. If you will state
your conditions, it will give us pleasure to help yOu if we can. And in the event that
any of our large number of specialties are not suitable for your conditions, we will tell
you so.

Made of HEAVIER steel than any other steel boiler; naturally they last longer.

"Superior to any Hot Water Boiler we ever used. You certainly have placed the right name to your boilers; no effort at all to keep the

are more than pleased with the Superior Boiler."— TREANOR & RETTIC, South Bend, Ind.

WE SPOKE
LAST WEEK

Sboul our kind of linseed oil that goes
into our Icind of greenhouse paint, and
Why— now about the greenhouse itself.

Our many patented parts for the elimination of shading members, while giving increased
strength to the sashbar house has brought us many friends — friends who believe in our patents, our
materials and our way of building houses. But why build sashbar ridge and furrow houses, which
shade each other, when with the right amount of space, separate iron frame houses can be built, if
of good width and good length, without materially increasing the expense ? A better propo-
sition in every way because you have a lighter house — a more durable house — a house that costs less
in erecting and less to maintain. By costing less in erecting we mean that sashbar houses must be
cut and fitted "on the job," which takes a good bit more time than you have any idea of — if you
have not compared it with the speed with which an iron frame house goes up. With the iron frame,
all parts are passed through a line of machines at the factory, where they are cut, shaped, punched
and fitted and everything made ready for immediate erection when the materials are delivered to you ;
it's then merely a matter of setting up the parts and fixing the screws and bolts. So you see the
erecting expense is greatly reduced and practically equalizes the slight advance in cost of the iron
frame house over the wooden structure — and then what a machine you have to work with for at least
half a century to come.

Tliis house shown is 45 feet ti inclies wide and about 30J
feet long, and is being erected for the Cottage Gardens
Company, tlie great carnation growers The benches used
by Mr. Ward are three feet, six inches wide and the house is
built to accommodate eight of them.

The order for the hou.se was placed the last f)f January.
The photo was taken hrstof Mar h. Quick work - and goes
to show it's not an all season's matter with us to fill orders for
our iron frame hou.ses.

Do you believe as thoroughly in economy as you think
you do ? If you do, then the question of erection costs and
23 per cent, less fuel expense will convince you that the
large iron houses are the only liouses to build.

ROSES FOR CUT BLOOM.

[A paper by Benjamin Dorrauce, Dorranceton,
Pa., read before the New York Florists' Club,
April 9, 1906.]

When I received the invitation from
Mr. O'Mara, of your committee, to write
;i paper on the rose, I was in Egypt, and
it was only after a good deal of hesita-
tion that I thought best to accept. I re-
gret that my want of knowledge must be
so much in evidence. To tafl: to prac-
tical men, thoroughly up on the subject,
as you are, I confess, is most embarrass-
ing. To relate only a part of my expe-
rience and trust that you will forgive
the presumption, I will tell you my rea-
sons for accepting.

Primarily, I am under obligations to
many members of the New York Flo-
rists ' Club, both on the grounds of friend-
ship and of customers, whom I value
highly. Then, when a member of the
firm of Peter Henderson & Co. asks me
to do anything, I feel that I owe it to
the memory of the respected founder of
that establishment to do whatever I can,
no matter how poorly, to advance the
rose, since he, now so long gone but. not
forgotten, was the chief instrument in
turning a poor, blind lawyer from the
path he had trod to the sweeter, pleas-
anter, brighter path of a rose grower.

The Story of a Start

Well do I remember the day when,
having had it announced to me by an
oculist that if I wished to be able to see
the sweet light of day, and nature's
beauties, I must absolutely give up my
profession. Not feeling at the best, as
you can understand, I strolled down
Cortlandt street, and, stopping in to see
Mr. Henderson, received a kind invita-
tion to visit the Jersey City establish-
ment. It is but as yesterday that we
walked through the houses and he so
kindly showed me the methods he found
'•est for treatment of the various plants,
•'ind naturally we talked of my loss. He
said to mo, "You have the land and
(heap fuel; why don't you try rose
growing? Go over to John Henderson's,
^t Flushing, and see what he is doing."
And I did. Now, to this advice I owe
^' hatever of success I may have made in
''le work, and it is little I can do to
-'C'Pay, and, as I have said, I felt it a
'iiity to say yes. Let this be my apology.

Tt was about 1882 that I first gave my
■''tontion to rose growing, and today,
^nen Bon Silene, Souvenir d'un Ami,
■^orunt, Mermet and other nearly forgot-
I'n roses of the past are mentioned, it
fjKes me back to the days when I strug-
-^d to get some slight return for the

efforts I put forth to learn why Perle
would not open and why Niphetos pre-
ferred to bow its head to Mother Earth.
Then Cornelia Cook stood peer of all the
whites, with its long, erect stems, and
delighted in brick dust and cow manure
piled high around the pots.

The Growing Galaxy.

Do you remember when John May sent
out the Bride? And how happy all were
that at last we had a white rose that
would give us freely flowers without coax-
ing! Do you remember Charley Ander-

Sprinkled here and there through all
this time new roses grew, bloomed and
died because not good; hopes built but
to be blasted, and Perle remained tixe
only yellow for the florist.

Liberty came, sweet, yet disappointing
to most growers. Now Richmond comes
to do her battle. Which shall win?

Each succeeding year brings before
you new candidates for your favor. They
rise, they shine, they disappear. Sweet
is the child of one's own raising. Each
thinks his will succeed, and yet, when
brought before the judgment of the
buyer, they are doomed to live only in
the memory of the originator. And
Beauty reigns, still as ever, in plant or
woman, queen of all.

Beauty the Leader.

To go over the long list of roses that
from time to time has been added to by
candidates for popular favor would seem
useless, since, once condemned, there is
little hope for resurrection and they
stand only as monuments to the immense
if fruitless labor of careful, painstaking
workers. Here and there one remains,
for a brief period, a seeming success,
only to be supplanted by some new can-
didate, perhaps better, far more prob-
ably not so good as the old. Still there

Benjamin Dorrance.

son, and how he urged that Mme. Cusin
was a good rose ? Then what a stir there
was over the Bennett, sweet of flavor,
short of stem and blue of color. Mrs.
Pierpont Morgan, ' ' as large as Beauty, ' '
and so much more in evidence. How
from Mermet came, God-given, through
the hands of Mr. Moore, the Bridesmaid.
Then Meteor burst forth, out of darkness,
to give us the first good red of profuse
bloom.

remains the list of but ten or a dozen,
the standbys, the reliance of grower and
salesman.

That Beauty has so long been a favor-
ite is not to be wondered at, for al-
though not a truly beautiful rose (at
least in some eyes) never as yet has one
been produced with the vigor of growth
and luxuriance of this rose and when
to these is added its fine fragrance, it is
not surprising tliat it has a hold on

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Apkil 12, 190G.

the popular heart only to bo broken by
a more wonflerful rose yet to be pro-
duced. Whether a hybrid or a hybrid
tea, found by accident or purpose, the
fact remains that it was the first of the
hybrid class that proved to be ever-
blooming under glass. May we not learn
from this accident that there may be
others among the hybrid perpetuals
which under skilful treatment could be
induced to give us as freely of their
bloom and of their brilliant coloring.

Testout for Home Trade.

Bride and Bridesmaid, offspring of
good old Mermet, must remain long the
leaders in their race of tall-growing
teas.

Testout Avas a revelation in the clear
pink class and, while never a great
favorite, was, 1 think, among the very
best of summer roses under glass. It
still remains a most prolific bearer. To
me it has been a source of wonderment
that the retail florist, who grows flowers
for his own use, has not made more of
this rose. It responds to a generous
treatment as gratefully as any rose I
know of. Do you remember it as staged
by E. G. Asmus at the shows of say ten
years ago? Was it not fine?

Mrs. Pierpont Morgan, with Canadian
Queen and Mrs. Oliver Ames, followed
Mme. Cusin, both sports from it, and
except for the size of Mrs. Morgan, no
great improvement over their parent. For
delicacy of flower when great length of
stem is not required, to me there can
be no more pleasing bloom and certainly
the production is not stinted.

The Rival Reds.

Meteor was the first continuous bloom-
ing red rose of size and merit suffi-

canie there was great rejoicing. But
this is not a rose that grows for every-
one, and murmurs of dissatisfaction
were heard from many quarters. Now
that there is Richmond to fall back upon
it is to be hoped that for every one
an abundance of red rojcs may be had.
The choice between is a matter for the
individual. and no opinion of one will in-
fluence the other.

These !>eem to be the bulk of roses
grown for market in the large centers
and, while the demand for them con-
tinues, they must of necessity be the
ones to which the grower will give the
closest attention.

Other Claimants.

F have omitted any mention of the
lesser lights and will content myself with
simply mentioning some that appear in
the markets with more or less regular-
ity, saying that in roses as in other
things, variety is the space of life. La
France, once so popular, seemed to die
when Nyack soil refused to longer per-
form its wonders. There have been and
still are others in the line, that, while
candidates for favor, have gradually dis-
appeared.

Today Wellesley, on the same line, is
a candidate. May it live long and pros-
per. Franz Deegen, a yellow w4th orange
tint, old Mme. Hoste, yellowish white,
now and then Bon Silene, forerunner
of them all, still has her admirers.
Madame Chatenay is fine when we'll
grown. Then there is Golden Gate, ugly
when large, droopy when medium, ragged
when small. Sunrise, essence of light
in color, rather small and yet beautiful,
can still be seen, while Sunset went
the way of all the earth.

Killarney is a candi<late for favor

cient to warrant growing it in number,
and the finest blooms were doughty
rivals of Jacqueminot, but its bad habit
of throwing faulty blooms on the best
growths set all the world agog trying
for an improvement, and when Liberty

among the pinks. What success it may
have still remains to be seen. Resur-
rected from the forgotten, it may be
there are others that, if handled dif-
ferently, might prove at least worthy of
a trial.

, There are still others that, beautiful
in and by themselves, when brought un-
der the fire of close examination, do not
stand the test and have been relegated,
most of them, to the scrap pile.

You will notice I have made no men-
tion of any hybrid perpetuals, chiefly
because I know nothing of them. As
market men they concern us little, since
they are of little moment for cut bloom
and it was only about roses for market
that I understood I was expected to talk
tonight.

Some Serious Questions.

As a grower for market, while think-
ing of what I should say to you, there
have come to me several questions that
perhaps may have come to you and this
may be a good opportunity to ventilate
them in a degree. There seems to be
one question, unanswered, yet ever com-
ing up, that since each year there are
new roses brought forward, is it good
business to keep planting old kinds to
the exclusion of the new! Do we ad-,
vance as rapidly as we might? Do we
give the new roses a fair show? Is it
possible that the old are so good that
we do not need the new?

Knowing the state of the market gen-
erally, what is the encouragement for
growers to make any increase in the area
of ground under glass? Is there any
inducement or business opening for new
men to embark in growing and if yes,
how should the beginning be made, with
a small or a large plant?

What influence has it had on the mar-
ket to have erected such large plants as
have been built in the west?

What improvements have been made
in growing methods in the past year?

Which class of roses is best for the
general market, tea or hybrid tea?

What is the general market and what
are its demands? By the general mar-
ket I mean the market as made up of all
classes of people as buyers, and by de-
mands I mean quality, quantity and va-
riety.

But What Is QuaUty?

It goes without saying that quality is
always a first requisite and that a good
rose is always more desirable than a
poor one, but the word quality as gen-
erally understood in this market means
that as a rose, no matter how good the
bloom itself may be, if stem is not an
element it must go in a low class, while
many roses the blooms of which would
attract little attention otherwise, if with
long, stiff stems, seem to rank high.

Naturally it must seem that the body
of buyers be composed of a fe\t high
priced, a large number of medium priced
and a very large number of low priced
individuals. What proportions do these
bear to each other? What do they de-
mand in variety? Are they entirely con-
tent with what we are now giving them,
or do they want others, old or new?

I am well aware that New York is
said to be the best market for the best
and the poorest market for the poor.
If this be so, why is it?

This naturally leads to another ques-
tion: What constitutes a valuable rose
and which characteristic is the most
valuable? What constitutes a good or
perfect rose, viewed from a retail stand-
point and what from the grower's view?

Does specialization in growing lead to
the production of better flowers? Has it
been noticed whether, since the tend-
ency has been to confine efforts to sepa-
rate classes, any appreciable increase has

been iiiacle in the number or quality of
such flowers?

What effect on the market has the
introduction of the hybrid tea and as
against the tea?

The Influence of Exhibitions*

What influence do rose shows have
on the market? Stimulant, depressing
or neutral? In what condition should
roses be shown? Specially prepared or
in such a condition as a careful grower
would have his shipments for the mar-
ket? In other words, are the exhibits
at the rose show any true index of the
roses groAvn by the exhibitor and thus
any criterion for forming a judgment
of his general ability, or are they sim-
ply a selected few specially prepared
with the view of winning prizes irre-
spective of the keeping qualities and
availability for market purposes; and as
.such are they good educators of the pub-
lie, or is this not the intention and pur-
pose of rose shows?

Advice for Besfinnen.

I presume no one has been in the
business for twenty years and made a
moderate success who has not had more
or less inquiry from inexperienced men
and women, asking how he or she may
make a beginning. As advice is usually
cheap and moralizing easy, I usually
give the following as a formula, premis-
ing it with the remark that the best way
is to go to some good grower and work
for him imtil the principle has been
mastered, that constant watchfulness,
great care, the utmost cleanliness and
steady work are the ' * open sesame. ' '
The minutiae will only come from ex-
perience, and he who has pluck to suc-
ceed will do so in spite of failures and,
learning from mistakes, eventually make
as few as possible, having done which
he will have reached as near perfection
as any of us will ever come.

To the grower of roses under glass,
problems are always coming. There are
no hard and fast rules that, laid down,
can be followed. The novice can learn
the general principles by an earnest
attention to the work as he sees it done
under his tutor and the brain work must
keep up with the manual; the reasons
for certain lines of treatment must be
understood, not blindly accepted as rules
invariable, but to the end that under
certain conditions a given treatment
ought to produce a certain result. The
endeavor to learn the cause of failure
may result in greater success, as well as
a mere correction of the error.

There is probably no branch of agri-
culture that will so well repay intelli-
gent effort as the production of flowers
under glass, but the road is not all
smooth, the failures are as many as the
successes, and it is only by persistent
work, undaunted by failures, uncon-
quered by mistakes, a grim determina-
tion to succeed even under most adverse
• ircumstances, that the goal of success
may he reached and the satisfaction had
of having conquered.

even greater freedom, but its great merit
lies in its habit.

A WELL-GROWN LILY.

The accompanying illustration shows
well-grown longiflorum lilies in a 12-inch
pan, such as are in demand in the better
class of retail stores at Easter. This
specimen was shown by Frank Oeschlin,
of the Garfield Park Flower Co., Chi-
cago, in 1905. It is his practice to pot
the bulbs separately and make up in
pans when the plants are a few inches
high, thereby securing uniformity of
height and flower. This pan contained
seven 7x9 bulbs and there were an aver-
age of three open flowers and one well
developed bud on each plant. Such a
specimen, with a pot cover, readily sells
for from $12 to $15 in the better class
of stores.

Badge Book and Dues.

In accordance with the instructions
voted at the convention in Washington
last August, the secretary will, under the
supervision of the executive board, pro-
ceed to prepare a "badge book" con-
taining the names of members, num-
bered, and- will issue correspondingly
numbered badges to those whose dues
for 1906 are paid previous to June 1.
Members in arrears for current year's
dues, as well as all persons intending to
take out membership this year, are
earnestly requested to remit now. There
is no advantage in waiting until the
convention meets, as the fiscal year be-
gins on January 1 and payments made
at any date during the year cover the
interim until December 31 only.

Outdoor Exhibit at Dayton.

Circulars and entry sheets are being
sent out this week to all nurserymen and
other? dealing in outdoor planting mate-
rial, tender or hardy. Plans of the beds
as laid out are in the secretary's office
and all information not given in the
printed circulars will be cheerfully fur-
nished by the secretary to all inquirers.

It is desirable that all planting be
completed by May 1, if possible, and
the necessity for prompt response is
urged upon all intending exhibitors. The

I, ROSE SOIL FOR CARNATIONS.

Kindly advise me in regard to using
soil for carnations that has grown roses
one year. The soil was nfade from two-
thirds rotted sod and one-third rotted
cow manure. I thought by making a
compost of this soil, mixing in bone
meal and horse manure, would be better
than the soil I now use, as it is very
heavy, with some clay, an ideal rose soil
but too heavy for carnations.

W, F. Y.

A few years ago it was a common prac-
tice to use old rose soil for carnations,
and very good carnations were often
grown on it, but when carnation spe-
cialists began the practice of .using new
soil it did not take them long to demon-
strate that new soil is far sui)erior, for
growing carnations, to any old rose soil
you can find.

While roses as a rule like a heavier
soil than carnations, yet both take very
much the same food from the soil, and
after a crop of roses has been grown
on the soil it is no more fit for carnation
growing than it would be if the crop had
been carnations. Because carnations like
an open soil and because old rose soil
is usually light and loose, it does not
follow that it is good carnation soil.
The plant food has been taken from it
and what remains is merely the bulk.

I would advise you to use the same
soil you use for rosea and if, as you
say, it is too heavy for carnations, in-
stead of mixing in cow manure in com-
posting, use horse manure with consider-
able straw. If you can get sand you can
mix it in to help cut up the clay, say
about one load of sharp sand to eight
or ten loads of soil. ,

You should have composted your car-
nation soil last fall, and you would be
more certain of having it in good con-
dition by planting time. When making
such marked changes in the mechanical
condition of your soil it requires more
time and more frequent handling to get
the component parts thoroughly incor-
porated. Instead of the one or two
turnings we usually give the compost
heap, it will require three or four turn-
ings to get it thoroughly mixed. This
can hardly be done after it dries off
enough to handle, when carnation hous-
ing Ls practiced as early as it is done
nowadays. On the other hand, if you
make your compost pile in the fall, the
sod and manure will rot by spring and
the whole is in better condition to mix.

I cannot understand why growers so
often leave such an important part of
their preparations until spring, when it
should be done in the fall. Not only
will the soil be in much better condition
for the carnations, but there is more
time in the fall for that kind of work.
For^rolses soil that is composted in the
spring does very well and in fact is
preferred by many growers, but not so
wit^ carnations. If there is anything
carnSitions like it is a soil that is well
prepared and in which all sod and such
matter. is well decomposed.

It is very important that the soil be
in proper condition when you turn it.
During early spring, when rains are fre-
quent, it is apt to be too wet to handle,
and in such case you would better put
off all such work until it has dried off

enough to crumble nicely when being
handled, even though it may make it
rather late. It will be in much better
shape in the end.

Some growers mix in the bone when
turning the soil in the spring, but we
prefer to wait until it is on the benches
and ready to plant. Much of it is washed
away by heavy rains if mixed and left
outdoors, but the main reason is that
when it is mixed into the soil three or
four months before it is wanted by the
plants, it decomposes and is all avail-
able when the plants are set and will be-
come exhausted much sooner than when
it is mixed in at planting time. In the
latter pase it becomes available as the
plants require it and will last almost
through the season. A. F. J. Baur.

AT THE CREAM CITY.

The illustration opposite is from
a photograph of the establishment of
Holton & Hunkel Co., Milwaukee, Wis.
This is one of the progressive concerns
of the west. Both F. H. Holton and
H. V. Hunkel are well known and popu-
lar in the trade and their energy and
promptness to grasp the opportunity af-
forded for doing business with Milwau-
kee as a base has enabled them to build
up a constituency covering a large part
of the northwest and spreading constant-
ly. Milwaukee is not only a wealthy
city but it has several natural advan-
tages as a center for wholesaling cut
flowers. The business of the Holton &
Hunkel Co. in this department has grown
rapidly, perhaps because they have main-
tained an equipment capable at all times
of handling just a little more business
than was being done.

Solanums.

It is about time to sow seeds of the
ornamental fruiting pepper, Jerusalem
cherry and that very ornamental species
grown so largely the past five or six
years that bears scarlet, yellow and white
fruit at the same time, the correct name
for which I must admit I do not know,
unless it is the celestial cherry. If these
solanums are grown too large they are
in poor demand. A plant of moderate
size, well fruited, is most to be desired.
Therefore, if sown now and planted out
at the end of June, it will be early
enough. A sandy soil that has not had
any manure recently is about right.
After making a moderate growth, the
hot midsummer weather will produce a
profuse blooming, and as soon as the
fruit is set they should be lifted and
potted. This wjll insure small plants
with plenty of fruit, and that is what
we are after.

The Rambler Roses.

Although Easter is not yet here, we
already can see where we could improve.
We had occasion to say last January
that we had mastered the art of lifting
the Rambler roses in November and get-
ting them to break in January and flower
well the following spring. They did

break finely, but nearly all the lower
eyes on the canes were blind and pro-
duced no flowers, and we are going back
to our old method of growing them in
pots over summer, feeling sure this is
the method to get a well-flowered plant
the following spring. This spring we
have seen plants of Crimson Rambler
that came from Philadelphia. They have
a few nice trusses of flowers at the tops,
but are leggy, bare plants and not by
any means what we should consider well-
flowered plants.

Many of you will have plants among
your Crimson Ramblers that have so few
flowers you will not expect to sell them.
They will most likely have made two or
three strong sucker growths, or growths
from near the base of the plant, that
will not flower this year. If you cut away
all last summer's growth and encourage
these young, strong shoots to grow you
will be sure to have fine, strong flowering
canes for next spring, and you will get
more flowers from two strong well
ripened canes than you will from six un-
ripened canes lifted next fall from the
fields. Old heads will say, "Yes, but
that won't pay." You have had them
two winters and one summer in pots and
the soil in the pots will be exhausted.
The exhaustion can be overcome and the

apparently long season under glass can
be reduced to six months of winter and
three months of summer all told.

Dormant Ramblers.

But this first winter's growth to pro-
duce fine canes is not necessary; it can
be dispensed with. You can start now,
with dormant plants from the field. It
is all in the first six weeks' management.
Cut them down low, very low, and place
in a cool house or pit the first two weeks.
Shade slightly and syringe often if the
weather is bright. A dormant plant that
will go into a 6-inch pot is large and
strong enough.

In two weeks they will have broken at
many eyes, more than you observed, and
at other adventitioua eyes. Rub off all
but five or six breaks or growths. The
next three weeks is the critical time.
Don't take them from the pot or frame
and slam them in a cool, draughty house,
especially near an open door. Give
them 10 degrees higher temperature, full
light and frequent syringing or light
spraying. "When the young growths are
two or three inches long, rub off the two
weakest, for three canes is all you want
to make the best furnished plant. As
the young growths lengthen there is also
plenty of root action, and six weeks from
the time of starting they will endure and
^pjoy the maximum temperature. That
time with them will correspond with the
month of June with our deciduous trees
and shrubs outdoors, which are then
making their most vigorous growth.

By midsummer they have made all the
growth desirable, but future treatment
I hope to talk about later on; only don't
forget that a severe drying out or ex-
tremes of temperature when they are
making their most vigorous growth, and
oonsequently softest, '"^ likely to be fol-

lowed by mildew, which greatly weakens
their vigor.

All this sounds like a good deal of
care, but if you love your plants it is
only a labor of love. Without any ad-
vice, but with simple earthly inspiration,
we tried this plant some seven or eight
years ago and it was a great success, so^
we are not guessing.

Hybrid Roses.

Hybrid perpetuals deserve a long>i(^
chapter, but there is nothing very sea-
sonable to say about them except that
any good varieties that have made a
strong growth-; with few flowers, are well
worth keeping. The strong canes they
have made this spring, if ripened this
fall, will be sure to flower next spring.
J must say a word about them now. The
ii. P. roses and the ramblers are totally
different in habit and manner of flower-
ing. The H. P. can be lifted in Novem-
ber, but before starting to force can
and must be cut down to within a few
eyes. With this small amount of top,
the roots, as soon as they become active,
are able to support and maintain the few
vigorous breaks that eventually flower.

We are compelled sometimes to illus-
trate our arguments by our own experi-
ence, therefore will say that last fall
we purchased 1,000 dormant plants from
Storrs & Harrison Co., treated them as
described in these pages last November
and again in January, lost none and all
broke finely and the great majority flow-
ered well; that is, four to six blooms on
each plant.

Yet it is a fact that the flowers are
thin and not lasting, which is only what
must be expected in a plant that has so
little root foundation.

If I, were going to grow hybrid roses
as a specialty I should pursue a different
method, slightly more expensive, but it

would pay. Obtain strong plants in the
fall and treat just as you would if going
to force them for flower the following
spring. Instead of bringing into heat in
January, you might defer this till Feb-
ruary, then start them slowly and save
only five or six of the strongest breaks,
and with proper care and ypened off in
the fall you would have a plant that
would dazzle the eyes of the "get rich
quick" florist. Labor and thought would
be a bigger factor than the space they
occupied in the expense of growing by
this method.

Pansies.

Just about now have a look at your
pansy frames and press into the ground
all those heaved out by the late heavy
frosts. Don't be disappointed at the
first blooms on plants from seed for
which you gave $10 per ounce. Remem-
ber the glorious Milton, who, with all
his wonderful religious poems, dictated
to a daughter, his p^n eyes darkened by
blindness, must hslve' remembered the
sight of nature when his vision \vas per-
fect, for he says:

Abortive like the first-born flowers of spring.
Nipped by the lingering rear of winter's frost.

SOME NEWER EASTER PLANTS.

lA paper by Kobert CrHlj;, read before the
Florists' Club of Philadelphia, April ;i. IIMKJ.]

Just eighteen years ago, on April 9,
1888, I read a paper before this club
in which I alluded to the Easter plant
trade as having become the most impor-
tant of the whole year. I recited the
fact that there had been a great advance
in the number of plants grown, as well
as in the increased variety from the
time, only a few years back, when callas,
geraniums, mignonette, violets, etc., were
the staples. In that year, 1888, I men-
tioned Lilium Harrisii, L. longiflorum,
Hydrangea Otaksa and Thomas Hogg,
azaleas, deutzias, genistas, Astilbe Japon-
ica, and hybrid roses as the staples. All
of these are still grown, only in larger
numbers; the general culture is better
and finer specimens are grown.

TLc Rambler Roses.

Since that time we have had several
notable additions to the list of Easter
plants. I think the Crimson Eambler
may be mentioned as the most impor-
tant. It is a very valuable plant. The
much heralded Baby Kambler, while valu-
able as a bedding rose, is not so good
for Easter purposes, especially in large
specimens. Dorothy Perkins, the pink
rambler, is fine, and has come to stay.
In the same class may be mentioned sev-
eral of Mr. Walsh 's new hybrid climbers,
particularly Lady Gay, which is a superb
thing.

A German rose called Leuchtstern,
single, pink with rings of white inside
and the center yellow, which I saw in New
York the other day, impressed me very
favorably. The foliage was fine and the
blooms pretty and abundant. It seemed
a good keeper, not easily shaken off.

A few other varieties of roses are fine
for Easter. Chief of these are Magna
Charta and Mrs. John Laing. Erau Karl
Druschki promises to be a good white,
although it has hardly had a fair trial
yet.

Miscellaneous Plants.

In spiraeas we have had several im-
proved varieties. The best one, all
things considered, is Gladstone.

Bougainvillea Sanderiana is another
very valuable Easter plant, and if the
wood is properly ripened will flower most
profusely in all sizes of plants from
those in 4-inch pots, suitable for basket
work, up to very large specimens.

Cineraria stellata, of the improved
compact-growing varieties, is a very
showy plant, but still capable of much
further improvement by careful selection
of seed from those varieties most snit-
able for store use.

A plant which I have not seen with the
Philadelphia growers, but which is well
done in New York is the boronia, which
bears its globular, purplish-pink flowers
in great profusion.

Another plant worthy of culture is
Lilium lancifolium rubrum and album,
valuable either for cutting or pot plants ;
they are easily obtainable at Easter,
from cold storage bulbs.

Deutzias and Others.

Another plant deserving of attention
is Deutzia Lemoinei, which was tried and
discarded several years ago by several

of our growers as inferior to D. gracilis,
but which has now proved to be valuable
to several growers, particularly as to the
durability of its flowers, which do not
drop as easily as those of D. gracilis.
The chief point in the culture is the lift-
ing by August or before, so as to have
the pots full of new roots before cold
weather. This also is necessary with
D. gracilis.

There has been introduced to this
country this year a valuable new azalea,
named for Julius Roehrs. This will un-
doubtedly become a leading variety. It
is of the same general character as
Mme. Vander Cruyssen, but of a richer,
brighter color.

A good novelty this year is Marguerite
Queen Alexandra, an excellent pot plant.

Ehododendrons are now largely grown.
The best new one tnat has come to my
notice is commonly known as Red Camille
de Rohan.

For the Future.

As we have had from time to tiine
valuable additions to the list of Easter
plants, so we may continue to expect
them. We are promised a new pink
spirsea for next year, of a lovely shade
of color, for the stock of which £1,000
is reported to have been refused. Both
Veitch & Sons and Sander & Son made
that offer.

The growing of plants for Easter in-
volves much extra work in the moving
from house to house as the weather
changes, so as to have everything just
right at the one time, the compensation
for this extra work being that there- is
generally a demand for all good plants
offered at a fair price.

NO SHOW AT KANSAS CITY.

The directors of Convention Hall,
Kansas City, Mo., untler whose auspices
all the recent flower shows in Kansas
<'ity have been held, liave decided not
to conduct a show this year. The show
last November Avas accounted a brilliant
success from the standpoint of a beauti-
ful exhibition, and was also satisfactory
financially, but the majority of the flo-
rists of Kansas City feel that it is not
wi.se to attempt to give a show oftener
than every other year, and hence there
will not be any show at Convention Hall
until November, 1907.

RUST ON VERBENAa

Will you please give us a remedy for
rust on verbenas? Ours are troubled
verv badiv with it. W. & S.

AN EASTER SHOW.

At the Easter season it is the practice
of practically all florists who meet the
public to put their best foot forward,
or, as Wm. Scott puts it, ' ' Wash all you
got and hang out all you wash." If
there is any season at which it pays a
retailer to make an elaborate display it
is at Easter. It is a season, too, when
retail stores always appear at their best
because of the profusion of flowering
plants.

To show what Samuel Murray, Kansas
' ity, does in tnis direction, the accom-
panying illustrations are reproduced
from photographs taken just before Eas-
ter last year. One of the pictures shows
liis store as one views it from the en-
trance. The other shows the conserva-
tory as it appeared from the rear door
of the store. An inspection of the pic-
tures will also give an idea of the extent
and character of Mr. Murray's facilities
i»nd business. Kansas City is a flower
town and Mr. ^Murray is a florist than
whom none is more readv to take ad-

I f I were to bluntly say throw away
every verbena plant that is infested with
rust, it would be answering your query
iionestly and be the best of advice.

Rusts are fungous, and spraying to
destroy the spores is the only known
remedy. What we see of the rust on the
surface of the leaf is the fruit of the
fungi. The mycelium of the fungus us
always working in the tissue of the
leaves or stems. In the case of the rust
on the carnation, the fruit of the fungus
comes out in large spots and scatters its
spores far and wide, especially by syring-
ing, and you will remember the scare it
created. A great numl)er of remedies were
advocated and much time and labor was
wasted in futile attempts to exterminate
it. The great remedy for rusts is to
grow varieties that are resistant.

Sulphate of copj)pr is the ba.se of all
liquid sprays for destroying rusts, and
in tlie case of carnations and hollyhocks
that seems of little use, becaiise you can
not rejf<-h the mycelium in the tissues of
the host plant.

When Peter Henderson published his
l)right little volume, Practical Floricul-
ture, some forty years ago, the verbena
was a very important summer-flowering
plant. The writer can remember flower
show- premium lists that contained a
prize for six or twelve pots of verbena.s
trained on wire frames. Mr. Henderson

says the rust is caused by a minute in-
sect which, when subjected to tobacce
s noke, has the faculty of imbedding
itself in the tissue of the leaf. This is
contrary to what is generally believed.
Kusts are the effects of fungus, but
whether or not, it does not pay to be
doctoring them in this twentieth cen-
tury. An eminent writer thinks the
rather sudden and great drop in popular-
ity of the verljena was mostly caused by
the great improvement of the zonal
geranium and its superior attraction as
a bedding j)lant. We think rather it
was because of the difficulty of winter-
ing the verbena.

Buy a fresh, clean stock for this
spring, if you must have them, and next
February sow seed from the best source
you can obtain it, an<i you will have
healthy, vigorous plants and as good
colors as na ned varieties. W. S.

CANDYTUFT.

Can candytuft be grown in a mixed
house for winter blooming? What vari-
ety is bestf When should seed be sown
for winter blooming? What tempera-
ture is best, and please give me points
on cultivation of same? M. T. (i.

Tlie ran<lytuft has no less than thirty
species, including annuals, biennials and
shrubby perennials. The annuals are
best known and ne suppose tiiesc are
what"*s meant.

Candytuft can be sown in the open
just as soon as the ground is dry. and
will be in full bloom in six or seven
weeks. Hut under tiie clo\ids of winter
it nmy take ten weeks to flower.

To flower in winter is very indefinite,
as our seasons have been humorously de-
scriVjed as seven months winter and five

months dashed bad weather. If wanted
at Christmas, I should sow it about the
middle of October in rows on a bench
and thin out to three or four inches
apart. Five inches of soil would be
plenty and a temperature of 50 degrees
at night would be high enough, or you
can sow in flats and transplant later.
About varieties, read the leading seeds-
men's catalogues and choose for your-
self.

Finally, we can hardly believe tliat
candytuft would be profitable in these
days in a modern greenhouse unless your
grandmother willed you the greenhouse
and you had free fuel. We once grew
the perennial candytuft, Iberis semper-
virens. It was too slow and did not pay.
We once received a few plants of a
candytuft from Bobert Sim, of Clifton-
dale, the champion sweet pea grower of
the world, and it was a wonder. It be-
longs to the annuals. We got the little
seedlings somewhere early in April and
planted them out one foot apart on a
bench where violets had been thrown out.
It was in prime order by Memorial day
and had immense nmbels of bloom nearly
a foot across, pure white, a most beauti-
ful thing, especially for Memorial day,
and can be planted on the bed or
bench after violets are thrown out at
Easter time. I wish Mr. Sim would tell
us about this great candytuft and adver-
tise the seed. W. S.

A NEW JAPANESE SALAD PLANT.

David Fairchild, agricultural explorer
in charge of foreign explorations, U. S.
Department of Agriculture, is intro-
ducing to the American public a new
vegetable that may become quite a fac-
tor in the business of those engaged in
forcing Avinter vegetables. It is a her-
baceous form of the aralia, and known
under two varieties.

One variety, the Kan Udo, is raised
from seed sown in heat, planted out in
rows four feet apart and eighteen inches
in the row, and allowed to grow until
early in September, when it is cut down
to the ground and the soil mounded up
over the row some eighteen inches high.
In forty to sixty days blanched shoots
ten to twelve inches long are ready for
market. This plantation is permanent
and should be good for ten or more
years.

j.ne other variety, Moyashi Udo, may
be of importance to the grower of veg-
etaoles unuer glass, as this is the vari-
ety used for winter forcing. It is grown
from roots only and propagated from
root cuttings. The roots are placed
ciosely in a trench and covered and the
soil mounded up. In the spring these
roots are planted out and allowed to
grow until the foliage is killed by the
frost. They are then taken up and

Xew York, April 10. — Cucumbers, Xo.

$6 box; lettuce, 25c to 60c doz.; mush-
rooms, 15c to 6oc lb.; radishes, $1.50 to

stored until wanted, in dry straw in a
cool place free from frost.

I forced a dozen plants, using two
10-inch pots, inverting over them pots
filled with leaf-mold. The blanched
shoots showed themselves through the

drainage hole in twenty-four days, but
the pamphlet issued by the Department
of Agriculture gives the time as forty
to sixty days.

1 aid not use it as a salad, out cooked
it, as one would asparagus, and served
it in cream sauce on toast. If Scott
and Eudd will try it that way they will
forever eschew sauerkraut and sing a
duet in its praise. W. C. Egan.

GRAND RAPIDS LETTUCE SEED.

We notice in your issue of March 29
W. S. Croydon in writing on Grand
Kapids lettuce states that he has had
trouble with seed of this variety not
growing properly. It has been our ex-
perience that for some reason freshly
gathered seed of the Grand Eapids va-
riety very frequently shows poor ger-
mination, but that if the same seed is
kept and allowed to ripen for a few
months, it readily grows 100 per
cent. For our own planting, we
prefer Grand Eapids lettuce seed one
year old. Johnson & Stokes.

TROUBLE WITH LETTUCE.

We have had a great deal of trouble
with our lettuce this season and suffered
a loss of several hundred dollars. During
our seven years' experience in raising
lettuce we have never had any serious
trouble. We raise Grand Eapids lettuce
exclusively. Our first crop was trans-
planted into the houses in early fall and
marketed in November and December. It
was as good as usual. The second crop
was transplanted into the houses as the
first was marketed. It started off all
right, but in about two weeks it seemed
to stop growing and a decayed ring ap-
peared around the stalk at the surface of
the ground, causing the outer leaves to
drop and decay. Some of the plants did
not die but only threw up short leaves,
lighter in color and texture than nat-
ural.

We thought at first that the diseased
condition was caused by the plants hav-
ing been raised out in frames, so we dis-
carded the remainder of them and raised
others in the house. The little plants
grew off nicely and were transplanted
into pots and " flats. After they were
transplanted into permanent beds they
started to grow and looked like making
a good crop, but after two or three
weeks they commenced doing like the
others. We then thought it was the soil
but we have tried them on the old soil,
on fresh garden soil, on benches and
solid beds and on sod compost, and they
all go alike. '

Can you tell us what this disease is
and how to combat it? If we cannot do
something we are knocked out of the let-
tuce business. We have produced the
finest of Grand Eapids lettuce for the
past seven years and have never before
had a failure or any serious trouble.

It has occurred to us that if such a
disease can be transmitted through the
seed, that might be the cause of our
trouble. The plants for the first crop
were produced from seed left over from
last year but all our plants since that
were produced from seeds bought at one
time. We have procured seed from an-
other firm and will trv that.

'_ K. & S.

The trouble you describe never has
come under my notice. 1 don't think it
is a disease in Grand Eapids but think
you have struck the root of the trouble
in the seed. In place of Grand Eapids

vou have soaie mongrel variety tlmt
proves unsuitable for forcing. I would
suggest that you try some of this seed
outdoors and see what it comes to. Also
luoeure seed from some other source,
'vJiieh it would be well to prove before
cloi)ending on it for your winter supply.

W. S. Ckoydon.

CYANIDE BURNED LETTUCE.

1 have been using hydrocyanic acid
.Tjis by the formula you gave a couple of
wooks ago. I used eleven crocks in three
houses 29x244. Two of these houses had
];nge lettuce nearly fit for market, the
other one small plants nearly covering
Ihc o round. The following day I noticed
(luite an amount burnt on top. I had
the houses and crops dry. Did I use too
iiuich ! I notice it did not kill all the
upliis on the large lettuce but nearly all
on the small lettuce. Will you kindly
set mo right on this? S. J, P.

I am sorry I can't help you out in
jliis, as in all my experience with gas I
never have had a sign of burning on let-
tuce when using the gas strong enough
to destroy the aphis. The fact that you
did not kill all tlie aphis proves that
your gas was not too strong. It may
liave been caused from some impurity in
tlie chemicals used.

W. S. Croydon.

Greenhouse Beating.

FLUE TO HOT WATER.

I have a house 13x34 feet, walls four
feet high, ridge nine feet. I have been
heating it by means of a flue, but don't
like it. Will a Winchester heater rated
at 225 feet be large enough to keep 55
degrees in zero Aveather? Will a 2-inch
flow and five 1^4 -inch returns be enough
radiation? How large a heater will be
needed for a house 34x60, posts four
feet, ridge nine feet, bars eight feet ?

E. U. P.

The boiler in question should be am-
ply large to supply heat for the house
you mention, 13x34 feet. To heat this
house to 55 degrees in zero weather will
require about 175 square feet of radia-
tion, which can be supplied by the 2-ineh
riser and ten 1 14 -inch returns. Only
five returns would give the plants the
diills on cold nights. For the house 14x
no feet it will be necessary to provide
ton 114 -inch returns and a 2-inch sup-
ply. If you contemplate adding the lat-
ter house, and it is to be near the other
house, it will be economy to install a
boiler large enough for both houses. A
heater rated at 750 to 1,000 square feet
of radiation will be ample for both
houses. L. C. C.

BOILER AND PIPING.

I am building four greenhouses. Three
are each 19x100, side wall five feet; the
other is 9x100. All four are connected.
I intend running the main flow across
the end of the four houses and the re-
turn across the other end of the houses.
Will a 21^-inch flow and return be large
enough? Will six 1-inch pipes in each
house be suflScient to keep 50 degrees in
zero weather? All the benches are solid
and one pipe will run on each side of
each bed. The small house Avill have
only four pipes. Is a steam boiler of

House of Gov. Herrick Violet at H. R. Carlton's, Willoughby, O,

twenty-five horse-power large enough to
heat this amount of glass ? H. L. L,

Each of the houses 19x100 feet, if to
bo heated Avitli steam by 1-inch pipes,
sliould have thirteen pipes the length
of the house, and the house nine feet
wide should bo provided with seven
pipes. Tlie main flow pipe from the
boiler should be a 4-inch ; a 2-ineh re-
turn, however, will be ample. If hot
water is iised, the pipes should be in-
creased to 2-inch ; 1-inch pipe is too
small for hot water in 100-foot runs.
The twenty-five horse-power boiler, if
of the return tube type, will be ample
for the work. L. C. €.

GOVERNOR HERRICK VIOLET.

One of the accompanying illustrations
is the portrait of H. R. Carlton, Wil-
loughbv, O., and the other is a reproduc-
tion from a photograph taken in one of
Ills liousos of Governor Herrick violets.
This variety is the newest single. It
originated with Mr. Carlton six years
ago and was named for the then gov-
ernor of Ohio. Mr. Carlton early recog-
nized that it was one of the freest bloom-
ing violets he had ever grown, plants
producing over -200 blooms in a season.
He has picked steadily from this variety
from October 1 to May 15, and since he
has been growing it in quantity the
blooms have been shipped to the Cleve-
land Cut Flower Co., Cleveland, where
they have sold exceedingly well. The
flower is deep purple, very large, borne
on strong stems six to nine inches in
length. The plants are vigorous and
have never been affected by disease.

This season Mr. r'nrlton has three houses
of the variety. One is 25x160, one 20x
130 and one 11x130. He has six houses
in all, about 25,000 square feet of glass.
In connection with his greenhouses he
has a flower and seed store and does a
very large retail trade.

With the
Advertising Man

Advertising is salesmansliip on paper.
If you let tills fact sink in deep, judg-
ing your advertising from the stand-
point of the prospective purchaser, you
will find it a great lielp toward success.

My last subject was handbills, and
this time I want to talk about circular
or form letters.

In the first place, your letters must
talk to your prospective customer just
as you would if face to face. Second,
they must be short and right to the
point — no words wasted— and bo written
in a happy strain, for under no circum-
stances is it permissible to run down
anyone else.

You will find that a series of five or
six letters, well written, on good sta-
tionery, using a plain white envelope
with a 2-cent stamp on every one, if
mailed to a selected list of people you
wish to come in close contact with, wlU
bring you surprising results.

If you will give me an idea of how
many people you can reach, stating
whether you have a store, or greenhouse,
what class of trade you desire to get
after, and such other information as
would be of assistance, I will send you
a series of four or five letters tksit I
know will pull business, for they have
done it for others in your line.

Aurora, III. — Plans are being con-
sidered for a number of improvements

GRAND RAPIDS LETTUCE SEED.

AVe notice in your issue of MiU'cli '_'!>
\V. S. Croydon in writing on (irand
Rapids lettiicc sttites that he has had
trouble with seed of this variety not
growing properl\\ it has been our ex-
jierience Ih-at for some reason freshly
gathered seed of the (irand Rapids va-
riety very frequently shows poor ger-
mination," but tluit if the same seed is
kept and allowed to ripen for a few
months, it readily grows 100 per
cent. For our own planting. we
prefer t'-rttud i\apids lettuce seed one
vear old. .loiixsox & Stoki-s.

TROUBLE WITH LETTUCE.

We have had a great deal of trouble
with our left lice this season and sulfered
a loss ot several hundred dollai's. During
our seven years' experience iu raising
lettuce we have never had any serious
trouble. We raise (irand K'apids lettine
ex. lusively. Our lirst crop was trans
[danled into the lumses in early fall and
marketed in November and December. It
was as good as usutil. The second crop
was 1 iaiisplante<l into the houses as the
fiist v\a- marketed. It started off all
ri^ht, but ill about two weeks it seemed
to stop ^rowing and a de.-ayed ring tip-
petired armind the stalk sit the surface of
the ground, causing the luiter Ictives to
drop and decay. Some of tli(> jdants did
not die but only tliiew up short leaves,
lioliter in color .aiid texture than nut
iinil.

We thought at lirst tliat the diseased
ciinditioii was caused bv the plants ha\
iiie lieeii raised out in frames, so we dis

cMlded tile reUI.Mindel of llielll Mlldiaised

,ilh,.rs in the hiiuse. The little plants
Mrew off iiicelv .and were transplanted
into pots ami tints. .\fter they were
transplanted into piaiiiaiieut lieds they
stalled to iiiovv and looked like makiiii;
M nood cio|i. imt after two or thrcM-
weeks Ihev commenced didllg like tlu'
oliiers. We then thought it w;is the soil
but we have Iriecl them on the old soil,
on fresh gtirden sidl. on benches tiinl
solid beds and on snd c(Uii|)ost, and they
all go alike.

Tan vou tell us what this disetise is
nnd how to combat it? If we cannot do
soinethine wr :ne knocked out of the let
nice liiisiness. We have jiroduceil the
finest of (irand b'a|iids lettuce for the
past seven yeais and have never liefore
had a failure or any serious trouble.

it has occiiried to us that if such ;i
disease can lie 1 1 aiisniitted through the
>eei|. that miulit be the caiise of our
trouble. The plants for the first crop
were prodllieil flien seed left over flolii
last year but all our ]ilants since that
wele |iroiluced t'lolll Seeds bought at olie
time. We have procured seed fi-oiii an
ot her linn and will t rv that.

The trouble ynu describe lieVel- liM--

ciiiiie iiuilei' my notice. I don't think it
i'^ a dise:ise in (Jraiid b'.Mpids but think
\oii have struck the i-.iot of the trouble

Because of the new was:e scale which
die Printers' Union has enforced upon

interruption of their business, especially
because of that part of the scale which
makes overtime practically prohibitive,
it is of first importance that the Review

It is therefore earnestly requested
tiiat all advertisers mail their **copy^

SOUTHERN FLORISTS TO MEET.

A committee of the New Orleans Hor-
ticultural JSociety has for some months
been at work on a plan for the organi-
zation of a Southern Florists' Associa-
tion. The committee consists of Paul
Abele, Joseph Steckler, J. A. Newsham,
O. W, Eichling and H. N. Despomier.
Their work has progressed to the point
where they have issued the following
call:

"The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety, in pursuance of the intention to
organize a society of southern florists,
has decided to call a meeting of all the
florists of the south on May 21 at Chat-
tanooga, Tenn., for the purpose of or-
ganization.

**We have the promise of a number of
representative florists to attend the meet-
ing, and we sincerely hope you will lend
Cour assistance by your presence and
ring your friends. The benefit from
«uch an organization cannot be over-
looked and success seems assured from
the present outlook.

**Due to the fact of the Saengerfest
being held in Chattanooga on the above
mentioned date, reduced rates will be
given on all roads. ' '

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The market lacked strength all last
week, because bright, warm weather
brought in stock in excess of the require-
ments. Monday found a condition which
has not prevailed on a corresponding day
since the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary. It has been the experience
that the early part of Easter week al-
ways saw a stiff market, often stiffer
than the later days, due to the growers
holding stock back for the extra demand.
This week Monday found the market
badly overstocked. Much of the material
was of indifferent quality, for weather
conditions have operated to take the
crispness and enduring qualities out of
the stock.

The principal business at the first of
the week was the booking of Eaater or-
ders. These were received in fair num-
ber, and there is every assurance of
large business. It is the general opinion

that lilies will be in ample supply, and
dealers other than those marketing the
cream of the stock are reported taking
orders at slight concessions from advance
quotations. There will be an abundant
supply of roses unless conditions have
been decidedly misjudged. The general
opinion is that stock will be equal to all
requirements in every line, save that car-
nations may run a little short. This is
the department in which there is least
anxiety to book orders, and in fact a
number of wholesalers have declined the
largest orders offered them. Prices are
held firmly.

Already the Easter violets are enroute
from Rhinebeck and word has come that
the shipments are large. The quality,
however, is far from good. Orders have
been booked at lower rates than last
year and are sufficient to take up all the
receipts, providing the quality upon ar-
rival is found to meet requirements.

Greens are abundant, except smilax,
which is difficult to procure.

Various Notes.

April 5 cards were received announcing
the marriage of Miss Blanche Hastings
and Edwin K. Kanst. The ceremony
took place at the home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hast-
ings, at Owatonna, Minn., Wednesday,
March 28. Mr. and Mrs. Kanst will be
at home after June 15 at 6110 Drexel
avenue.

The leading retailers report business
quite slow the past fortnight. Many of
their best customers are in New York,
and some even have gone to Europe for
the summer. It is likely to affect their
Easter trade. Stores catering to a less
wealthy class have done proportionately
much better the past two weeks.

On April 7 the secretary of state
licensed the incorporation of the Retail
Florists' Association of Cook County,
Chicago; object, mutual protection; in-
corporators, G. J. Walthers, Wm. H. Kid-
well and Chas. Schneider. This is the
organization formed about Christmas
time and of which much has since been
heard in connection with "red violets,"
"crepe chasing" and donations to
charity.

Azaleas are always Wienhoeber's
"long suit" for Easter. He has this
year an unusually fine lot, but none of
the very large plants of a few years ago.
Possibly the most numerous variety is
Haerensiana, the light pink double vari-
ety sent out a few years ago by Aug.
Haerens, Somergem, Belgium, from
whom Mr. Wienhoeber's stock came.
Niobe, deep pink, is shown in quantity.
Among the handsomest specimens are
some naturally grown plants of the
perennially popular variety, Mme. Van-
der Cruyssen.

The Martin Grate Co. reports a num-
ber of reorders from growers who last
summer installed their rocking grate;
among others repeat orders from Emil
Buettner and Sinner Bros. Poehlmann
Bros. Co. is installing a big watertube
boiler for its new glass and is fitting it
with the Martin grate.

John Assa, on Bowmanville avenue, is
sending the A. L. Randall Co. some very
good roses. He has about 30,000 feet of
well kept glass.

A Greek temporarily has taken a Dear-
born street store vacated by a shoe
dealer, and the window of roses and car-
nations bears the bold inscription,
' ' Style and Durability. ' '

The attendance at the club meeting to-
night is likely to suffer because of the
proximity of Easter.

Andrew Miller, who purloined the
"roll" of Fred Keading, one of Poehl-
mann's growers, pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to the penitentiary on Satur-
day.

What was said to be the largest dog
in Evanston bit a young lady and then
took refuge in the flower store of Fred
C. Fisher. The police dislodged him
and ended his career.

Edward Hickman, a grower residing
on North Clark street, was attacked by
thieves while riding on a Halsted street
electric car Saturday night. He fought
them off.

The J. B. Deamud Co. is receiving a
big lot of lilies this week.

P. J. Hauswirth had the decoration
for the Hamilton Club's banquet at the
Auditorium Monday evening and also
the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co. believes it
has established a new record for the
long distance shipment of lilies in pots;

G. H. Pieser, secretary of the Kenni-

E. C. Amling admits that the smilax

grow for another six weeks, but says
that if the buyers insist upon having it,
it will be cut. Most growers are com-
pletely out.

0. P. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett re-
turned on Saturday morning from a two
months' trip to Florida. Bassett &

three houses of Liberty being especially
fine.

The Chicago Eose Co. sold a car-load
of box trees last week.

George Eeinberg planted 10,000 Beau-

DETROIT.

The Market.

Market conditions remain about the
same. Everyone is anticipating a ban-
ner Easter, providing the weather man
favors us. Aside from azaleas, all other
stock seems plentiful. Lily plants are
unusually short in the stalk. Violets are
very poor.

Club Meeting.

Those members who failed to attend
the last club meeting missed the banner
one of the season. The main feature
was an exhibition of carnations, includ-
ing recent introductions. Besides about
fifty vases of carnations, containing
from twenty-five to fifty blooms each,
the exhibits included about twenty-five
vases of roses, which were certainly a
credit to the growers, also snapdragons,
gladioli, callas, daffodils and a fine col-
lection of Easter plants.

I shall not endeavor to enumerate
every exhibit, but will just run over such
as received special mention from the
judges, Frank Holznagle, August Taepke
and Philip Breitmeyer.

Among the local exhibitors the largest
were Breitmeyer 's Sons. The carna-
tions shown included such varieties as
Cardinal, Richmond Gem, Flamingo,
Eclipse and all the standard kinds very
well grown. In roses they showed an
elegant vase of La Detroit, also some
very good Killarney, Liberty, Eichmond,
Chatenay and many others.

Eobert Klagge, of Mt. Clemens, also
made a special effort. His collection,
besides many standard varieties of car-
nations, included some very fine seed-

lings.

Mr. Klagge, when asked his
opinion of Flamingo, said it was no
good, being too slow a producer, and all
the growers supported this statement.

August II. Taepke had a fine collec-
tion of carnations. He also showed
some elegant plants, including Spiraea
Gladstone, hydrangeas, ramblers and two
fine Carl Enke azaleas.

Thos. Brown exhibited a number of
carnations. A vase of Lady Bountiful
and Wliite Lawson received special men-
tion, being the best in sight, which was
saying a great deal.

A. J. Stahelin was there with his
usual fine flowers, including an elegant
vase of Enchantress.

I^ed Pantke sliowed a variety of
stock, including some fine peas, also
an unnamed seedling carnation.

Andrew Ferguson displayed several
vases of fine roses, also some good bloom-
ing plants.

B. Schroeter was on hand with a vase
of his rose pink Enchantress, which
spoke for itself.

Among new varieties:

F. R. Pierson sent Winsor and Varie-
gated Lawson, both eliciting very favor-
able comment.

H. Weber & Sons Co. sent Jessica and
My Maryland. The blooms had fine
stems and calyx and My Maryland was
a very clear white.

W. J. & M. S. Vesey sent a vase of
Glendale, a fine, large variegated.

.T. D. Thompson sent Eobert Craig,
which received favorable mention.

Henry Smith, of Grand Eapids, sent a
collection of blooming plants.

Aug. S. Swanson sent a vase of Min-
nehaha roses. Despite the fact that

The Market

The usual stiffening in prices and
holding back of supplies was very no-
ticeable on Monday. Eoses have not yet
made any appreciable advance, but are
selling well. Best Beauties fetch $50
and from that sum down to $5. Brides
and Maids have varied from $3 to $12,
but will go higher toward the end of
the week. Chatenay are very good and
make all the way from $4 to $20, the
best grade being remarkably fine. Eich-
mond and Liberty will be in big demand
and are likely to bring high prices.

Some hybrids are coming from one or

two growers, but these seem to be less

grown each year.

Carnations of very ordinary quality

make $3 to $3.50, better grades going

to $5 and $6. Some advance on these
)rices is likely later in the week. Violets
aat week made 50 cents to 75 cents and

$1. This week they are a little more

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

During last week trade was reported
good all over the city. Among the down-
town florists there were heavy funeral
orders, especially on Saturday and Sun-
day. The wholesalers experienced no
trouble in disposing of their stock. Con-
signments were quite heavy all week, ex-
cept white stock, which was in big de-
mand. Plenty of sunshine and cool
nights have helped quality and quantity.
Lilies are fine and will be abundant,
though most growers say they have
orders for all they have on hand. Short -
stemmed lilies are much in evidence at
the commission houses. Callas, too, are
plentiful, but are selling well.

The supply of Dutch bulbous stock
will be apparently as large as ever. There
are plenty of violets, but of poor quality,
and a scarcity is looked for by Easter.

Carnations are of extra fine quality.
The price is up a little on fancy stock.
Enchantress is the best seller and brings
the best price.

Plant trade, both retail and wholesale,
is very brisk and will brace up this week
in the show houses of the west-end
florists. A fine assortment of blooming
plants is seen. Taking things as one
hears them about town, Easter trade
promises to be unusually good.

Variou* Notes.

Charles Ford was a caller the past
•Week.

Henry Johann, of Collinsvillc, reports
that his broken arm is again ready for
use and will now make up for lost time.

Smith & Young, of Indianapolis, are
sending a fine lot of Bride and Brides-
maid to Ellis.

Nick Himmer, of Meramec Highlands,
is bringing in the best violets that come
to this market. He says the shading he
gave them the warm days gave them
better color.

C. Young & Sons Co. is making a fine
show of blooming plants. Extra fine
pot lilies are seen. James Young says
that all departments have been kept busy
of late.

The display of rhododendrons by the
(irand avenue florists is large and fine,
especially those at George Waldbart's.

The announcement of the marriage of
M. Rice, in Philadelphia, was a complete
surprise to his many St. Louis friends,
who are with me in congratulating the
happy couple.

Robert Windier and C. Bergerster-
niann, the new comers on South Grand
avenue, report good trade and expect a
great Easter.

The florLsts lost the match with the
Hyde Parks last week. Ellison was in
great form and so was Capt. Beyer, roll-
ing two games over the 200 mark, Kuehn,
Beneke and Schriofer following. Tues-
day the florists rolled a match with the
Unions. J. J. B.

WASHINGTON.

Xeav Castle. Ind. — All of the local
greenhouse firms are preparing to en-
large their plants with the opening of
spring. Heller Bros, have embarked in
the selling of rose plants for private
gardens and are now shipping out thou-
sands for spring planting. They go to
all parts of the country.

State of Trade.

The cut flower trade has been quiet
the past week but there is considerable
movement in pot plants. Easter business
is a subject that will not down — until the
]\[onday after — and preparations go mer-
rily on. A number of the retailers have
visited Philadelphia and other points in
quest of bargains. Whether or not they
found them, deponent saith not, but they
do agree that Craig, Harris, Graham and
others of the City of Brotherly Love are
showing extra fine stock. The local
growers have not been idle and they, too,
will show up well at the finish.

Florists' Club.

The monthly meeting of the club was
held April 3, in Scottish Rite hall. By a
unanimous vote and amid enthusiasm the
American Rose Society was invited to
hold its next exhibition in Washington.
President Bisset. who had recently re-
turned from Boston, spoke in terms of
the highest praise of the show staged
there. F. H. Kramer also spoke in glow-
ing terms of what he saw.

There was a general discussion of so-
cieties, clubs and shows, John Robertson,
W. F. Gude and others giving free ex-
pression to their views on the best meth-
ods to promote success.

Various Notes.

The recent visit of Earl Grey and Lady
(irey was the occasion for a large amount
of fine decorative work. At the White
House and the British and French em-
bassies, dinners and luncheons in their
honor called for large quantities of fine

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

Business has been rather dull, as is
usual on the days preceding the rush
before a great holiday. The feature of
the market at the close of last week
was the arrival of a tidal wave of south-
ern daffodils, varying in quality from
very fine down to ordinary. These flowers
seemed to fall on a rather unapprecia-
tive market, the prices realized being
very low for the quality. A similar flood
toward the end of this week would
probably realize much better prices.

The very bad weather at the opening
of the week put a damper on business
generally. It is, however, a good omen
for the closing days, which matter very
much more. Violets have been selling
well right along. Indications point to
a good supply for the end of this week.
Valley will be very plentiful. The qual-
ity now coming in is as fine as has been
seen here for some time.

The other noticeable features are the
increase in the quantity of Easter lilies,
the supply being large and unusually
fine, and the scarcity of choice tulips.
The noticeable addition to the rose list

is Ulrieh Brunner, from the Hugh Gra-
ham Co., at Logan, which is being dis-
tributed by several of the leading com-
mission houses.

Visit to Becker.

Jacob Becker has long enjoyed the
reputation of being one of our most
successful growers of pot roses. He re-
tains what may be considered as almost
the lost art of propagating roses read-
ily from hard-wood cuttings, and from
this point up to the finished plants for
Easter or for spring sales his stock is
of more than usual merit. He grows a
variety of the best roses, including
Becker's Ideal, La France, Souvenir de
Pierre Notting, Magna Charta, Franz
Deegen, Ulrieh Brunner, Gen. Jacquemi-
not, Hermosa, Gruss an Teplitz, Killar-
ney and a number of others.

Two whole houses on his annex place
at Forty-ninth and Chestnut streets are
devoted to roses for spring sales. These
houses now give very little trouble, the

plants being potted and staked, only re-
quiring air and water. '

Besides roses, Mr. Becker grows East-
er plants and some spring plants. Hi»
lilies are tall and well grown. His
hydrangeas are the picture of health,
admirably timed. He also has azaleas,-
rhododendrons and a great quantity of"
geraniums.

The little show house in front of hi»
place at Fifty-second and Market street*
seems destined to decide the question-
of the disposal of any surplus stock.
Here a few well grown palms may be
seen, also some experiments in valley
and the nucleus of a whole house of
carnations is not far off. It is with »
tinge of regret that one notes these in-
dications that may draw a fine whole-
sale grower into the intricacies of re-
tail growing.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Last week was on a par with its pre-
decessors, no change for the better or
the worse, just an old-time experience
of corresponding weeks before the East-
er festival. Deliveries of plants for
Easter have begun. Day and night this
will continue up to Good Friday, wiien
everything will be complete and the
grandest display of blooming plants ever
seen in New York will make its appeal
to sentimental humanity.

Prices of cut flowers had no stability
last week. The supply was immense.
Sonic roses looked as it "pickling" had
been premature, it had been hoped this
year might be an exception to the old,
suicidal system. Beauties last week sel-
dom sold over $20 per hundred for the
best. Brides and Maids at $5 and vio-
lets at from 3-j cents per hundred down.
Carnations lield their own.

For Easter there may safely be
prophesied no great increase. For
Beauties a few of the very finest may
bring $50 per hundred, with $40 top for
the average; $15 will likely be top for
Maids and Brides. Novelties in carna-
tions are likely to reach $10 per hun-
dred for the best, while the fancies
should easily reach $5. There will be
no shortage in anything; of that we

Various Notes.

Lilies in pots hold firm at 12 cents
per bud. luferior stock has been sold
at 10 cents. Enormous quantities of
bulbous stock are ready. Over at Will
Siebreclit 's, in Astoria, house after house
is crowded with them. It takes four
wholesalers, in addition to his own de-
partment in the Coogan building, to dis-
pose of them. Rebuilding is planned
for the summer, with several new houses.

There seems to be no limit to Crim-
son Ramblers and they were never more
})erfectiy grown. Steinhoflf seems to be
tlie rambler king of Jersey.

Over at Prince Bay, Schmitz lias a
tremendous stock, both of Crimson and
Baby Ramblers.

cient for supplying the demand tor rib-

i7iand for their Japanese importations,
especially pot-grown wistarias and

Club Meeting;.

The club 's rose night was very wet.
liess than fifty members were present,
but the exhibits and the enthusiasm
were abundant. In the absence of
President Scott the vice-president occu-
pied the chair. Five new members were
elected.

The trustees Avere authorized to nego-
tiate with the S. A. F. with a view to
holding a national flower show in New
Vork in the spring of 1907. A long
iliscussion as to competition for cash
j)rizes at the meetings of the club wa.s
without result.

The death of August Khotert was an-
nounced and a committee, Messrs. Beau-
lieu, Hallock and Wheeler, was appointed
to draw up suitable resolutions. Similar
j)apers were read on recent deaths in the
families of club members.

The event of the evening was the pa-
j)er of Ben.]. Dorrauce, published in full
elsewhere in this issue.

Eobt. Simpson, president of the Rose
Society, gave an interesting address con-

cerning the Boston rose exhibition, which
he termed the best rose show ever given
in this country. F. K. Pierson, the vice-
president, said that while the , recent
show was the most wonderful ever seen
in America, with the joint efforts of the
S. A. F., tlie Rose Society, and the New
York Club, he did not believe Europe
could equal the results that would be
accomplished. Messrs. Wheeler, Birnie,
Traendly, Sheridan and O'Mara dis-
cussed various phases of the subject.

T>ager & Hurrell exhibited Cattleya
Schroederiana in variety, the selection
of L',000 plants, for which they received
honorable mention.

Nephrolepis Whitmani, exhibited by
H. H. Barrows & Son, of Whitman,
Mass., a splendid plant, received a
certificate of merit. The same firm ex-
hibited the new asparagus, Crawshawii,
which they control, and which received
honorable mention.

Miss Kate Moulton, from the Minne-
apolis Floral Co., showed well after its
long trip and was most favorably re-
ceived.

BOUVAHDIAS.

feouvardia culture is fairly easy, once
certain points are understood, one of
the most important being an early start
with satisfactory cuttings. These latter
may consist of the young shoots taken
from well-ripened cut- back plants that
have been started in heat, or of root cut-
tings. The laftter make excellent plants
tnat grow away freely from the start.
Cuttings should be struck in bottom heat
when they are about three inches long,
says the Gardeners' Magazine. They
may be taken off either with or without
a joint at the base, and root readily in
a mixture of loam, leaf-mold and sand,
in about equal quantities.

As soon as struck the tip of the shoot
should be taken out, and from this point
onward "stopping" is an important
matter, so that the plant may develop
from ten to a dozen breaks as early as
possible in the season. Very often this
stopping is neglected until the shoots
are quite long, an error that lays the
foundation of failure. Until the requi-
site number of shoots is obtained each
stopping should only allow one or two,
at most, pairs of leaves to form.

If for cutting purposes, then nothing
can beat planting /out in a cool house,
where heat may be given when needed,
and where the heads of the plants come
pretty close to the glass. The soil either
for potting or planting should be rich,
light and sandy; loam and leaf -mold as
the basis, and good decayed manure,
with a little bone meal well worked in.

Of the bouvardias grown those named
below are perhaps the best in their colors :
President Cleveland may be considered
the best scarlet, having taken the place
of Hogarth and others. Of whites, B.
Humboldtii corymbiflora, B. candidis-
sima and B. jasminiflora are all worth
growing. Vreelandi is an old favorite,
which has been grown under several
names, and is still one of the best. The
flowers open wbite, and change to pink.
Mrs. R. Green, when seen at its best,
is a charming salmon-colored variety;
Reine des Roses is an early-flowering
pink. Then we have the double forms :
Alfred Neuner, white, B. President Gar-
field, pink, and one or two others.

Fairbanks, Alaska. — C. B. Sweeney
proposes to erect a large commercial
greenhouse. There were thirty days the
past winter on which the temperature
was 60 degrees below zero.

Hiawatha, Kan. — The Hiawatha
Greenhouses are being conducted by
Miss S. G. Margrave. Her father, J. W.
Margrave, who died January 1, aged
92 years, was for long known as the
oldest active florist in the United States.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Business for the past week has been
up to its old-time standard and every
one in the trade is feeling good over the
present state of affairs and the fine out-
look for Easter and spring business.
Prices are good and -will be higher be-
fore the end of the present week. The
Cleveland Cut Flower Co. reports busi-
ness as being ahead of last year at this
time, with a good demand for supplies,
wirework and cut flowers.
Various Notes.

Smith & Fetters have booked the larg-
est wedding order they ever have had,
to be filled the middle of this month.

C. M. Wagner was very busy with fu-
neral orders all last week.

Milford Parks has had all he could do
to fill his orders and says that his trade
is growing rapidly.

Last Tuesday was a beautiful spring
day and the writer could not resist the
temptation to call on a few of the trade.
The Bate Bros.' plj<%e on CoUamer ave-
nue, East Cleveland, was looking fine,
and they will have a good cut of carna-
tions up to July 1, and the quality is
all that anyone could ask. They will
have over 50,000 carnation cuttings ready
for the field as soon as the weather per-
mits planting. The three houses of
maidenhair ferns are looking fine and
they are cutting about 2,000 daily.

A call on H. E. Carlton, of Willoughby,
O., found him busy picking violets. I
should say, picking the Gov. Herrick vio-
let. In order to appreciate this violet a
person must visit Mr. Carlton and see it
growing. It is certainly a fine thing,
easy to grow and a very free bloomer,
which means a money-maker, and that is
what we are all looking for, and we think
Mr. Carlton has every reason to be proud
of his violet.

Carl Hagenburger, of West Mentor,
was almost too busy to talk. He had been
selling enormous quantities of Easter
plants, of which he had a very fine lot,
azaleas, rhododendrons, Easter lilies and
spiraeas being especially fine. Mr. Hag-
enburger also has stores at Painesville,
Madison and Ashtabula, 0.

A five minutes' walk takes one to the
greenhouses of Merkle & Son, who have
a very fine range of houses, several of
which have been built since the writer's
last visit. Everything was looking fine
and the whole force was busy filling or-
ders for Easter plants. They grew twice
as many as last year, and Mr. Merkle was
afraid he would not have enough to fill
what orders he had already booked.

A short ride and we were at the Storrs
& Harrison place in Painesville, where
everybody was hustling to fill orders. It

The New Single Violet

Did you know that the Governor Herrick Violet was the freest
bloomer ever originated, and has the largest open flower borne on a stem
that is heavy enough to hold the flower erect and that the color is the
most intense purple of any violet, that we never have shown it to any
one, whom it did not please, and that at the Philadelphia Spring Show it
was awarded a certificate of merit and at the Boston Carnation Con-
vention it received special mention, and down at Louisville, Ky., it was
one of the sensations of the exhibition, and that it will please you? Write
us and let us send you a description of this violet or a small bunch of
the violets and then you will order some; the prices of this violet are
$2.00 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 plants; $75.00 p2r 1000 plants. Let us

«r»t Vlce-Pres., L. L. May, St, Paul; Sec'y and
53b CE Kendel. Cleveland. The 24th annual
meeUng will beheld at Toledo. O., June 26-28, 1906.

li. & J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, had
a narrow escape from a disastrous fire
April 4.

' ' Sprouted ' ' onion sets is the latest
novelty offered in the seed sections of the
department stores.

The pea and bean growers report that
:irrangements for the coming season's
crop are progressing favorably.

When he sees timothy quoted in the
iiapers at $2,85 a hundred the suburban-
ite wonders why lawn grass should be 20
Lonts a pound.

The pickle men seem to be averse to
huving much cucumber seed; they feel
that a shortening up of the crop will be
to their advantage.

Some enterprising seedsmen Avho have
Iiad alfalfa and clover tested by the
Department of Agriculture, are advertis-
ing "Purity and Germination Guaran-
teed by the Government,"

All the onion set growers say they
will cut down their acreage this year.
They are at liberty to change their
minds, however, anci may do so before
the sowing season is over.

The receipts of clover seeds at the
))ort of New York last week were 2,489
iia^y, valued in invoices at $57,083;
otlior grass sccils, seventeen bags, valued
at $113; other seeds valued at $3,799,

Seasonable weather is reported from
all sections where planting is usually done
at this time of the year and normal con-
tlitions as to operation and the amount
of seed going into the ground is the rule.

The seedsman has much to buck
.•tgainst; the Agricultural Department
:uul many agriculturists outside of the
department think lightly of his integrity
;uul scotf at his efforts to excel in his
Hue,

The market gardener seems to be the
only user of seeds who appreciates the
improvements that seedsmen make from
time to time in their stocks. lie knows
the value of an article and pays accord-
ingly.

Counter trade is reported to be on
with a rush; mail orders have taken an-
other spurt ; "fill in " business is said to
be good with the jobbers and onion sets
are being cleaned out rapidly, Wliat more
do you want?

T. G, Raynor, of the seed branch of
the Canadian Department of Agriculture,
says that the Seed Control Act of 1905
has resulted in a marked improvement in
the general quality of the seed offered
for sale in the Dominion.

Seedsmen express no little surprise at
the confidence the rural population
places in the new seed departments of
the big general mail order houses. It
should not be overlooked, nor the value
under-estimated of the fact that these
houses have built their Avonderful suc-
cesses on the one idea of securing and
keeping each customer's confidence.

Stiles D. Woodruff.

The sign, "Tested Seed I'otatoes, "
may be something of a joke, but rhe
Chicago man who has it out in front of
his South Water street store says it is a
winner.

C. C, Morse & Co., San Francisco, re-
port that on tiie whole prospects are very
favorable, althougli the season is back-
w'ard and it is impossible to say just
how things will develop within tiic next
few weeks.

FREE SEED LETTERS.

The Poi-t Oflice Department says that
the cost in handling the free seeil <lis-
tribution is about .'f 35,0(11) a year. This
season it has an offset; there is a jirotit
in carrying first-class matter, and tlie
seedsmen have worked u|i a good in-
crease in congressmen's mail. Here is
what Fretlerick W. Keisey. New York,
wrote to his aciiuaintauces in (imgress,

Y'ork wholesaler and importer of seeds
and plants, died suddenly on Monday,
April 9, at his residence, 235 West One

Y'ork City. He was 45 years of age.

Mr. Ehotert was a man of exceptional
business abilitj'. He was very exact and
painstaking in all i)is operations and en-
joyed an enviable reputation for prompt-
ness and business integrity. He had
amassed a fortune as a result of his

well cunsidered outside investments.

Mr. K'hotert established his seed and

Stiles D. Woodruff" was one of the
pioneers in the seed growing intlustry in
the I'nited States. Until the beginning
of his fatal illness he had always been
an exceedingly active man, with a very
wide acquaintance in the trade,

oorn. Tlie ruling price for the first few
years for turnip, beet and parsnip to
tile trade was 40 cents per pound, cab-
bage $3 per pound and sweet corn $3
per bushel.

Mr. Woodruff in his early days took
up market gardening and his records
show some fabulous prices for vegeta-
bles. Everything was sold in a whole-
sale way, cabbage bringing $25 per
liundrcd heads, sweet corn $5 per hun-
«lred ears, tomatoes $3 per bushel and
Jiima beaii.s .$3 per bushel.

In recent years Mr. Woodruff con-
lined his business to growing seeds for
tiio wholesale trade and in 1892 the pres-
xnt partnership was formed by taking
ill his two sons. Frank C. and Watson S.
Woodruff. The firm has been progressive
and kept pace with the remarkable
strides that are general throughout the
seed trade. Where pound.s and quarts
were handled years ago hundreds of
pounds Mild liundred.s of bushels are
Juindled now.

The firm made a specialty of garden
•seeds in variety, growing extensively on
its own farms such seecls as beet, car-
rot, parsnip, turnip, onion, tomato, sweet
«orn, etc., and also made a specialty of
Maine seed potatoes and onion sets.
Their seedpotato business in particular
has grown to very large proportions.
They have seedpotato storehouses in
Aroostook county, Maine, and have re-
cently leased a large house at Queens,
l/ing Island, where a liberal stock will
be carried in addition to their places of
business at Orange, Conn., and New
York city, where they have a store at
S2 Dey street. The business will be
<arried on as usual by the sons, upon
whom the management has devolved for
some time.

Mr. Woodruff held many positions of
trust. He had twice represented his
town in the legislature. Besides the two
sons associated with him in business he
leaves another son, Eobert J., prosecut-
ing attorney for the common pleas court
of New Haven county, and one daugh-
ter, Mary.

make a good thing out of odd pieces of

stantly on hand. For the man with the

with much cemetery work, there is an

BEGONIA FOR NAME.

1 enclose a leaf of a begonia and
would thank you to let me know if it
is a leaf of Begonia Gloire de Sceaux?

G. E. W.

We do not think the leaf sent is Gloire
de Sceaux, for althougji we have not seen
a plant of this variety for some years,
it is described botanically as "leaves
thick, heavy, underside red," It looks
very much like incarnata, not one of its
improved forms, of which there are at
least two, but the old, original incar-
nata. It is not necessarily a species at
all, for the begonia family has been
crossed, not only between varieties and
species, but between sections, and many
new types have been produced and in-
numerable varieties, especially among
the shrubby or fibrous-rooted sections.
To this crossing we owe the introduction
of several of the finest things in the
genus, notably Gloire de Lorraine, which
came from B. Socotrana x Dregei. We
think the leaf sent is B, incarnata.

W. S,

A GOOD TABLE PLANT.

Cissus discolor is acknowledged to be
one of the prettiest creepers available for
stove culture, and it is also sometimes
met with trained on a large balloon. But
I do not think many know, says a writer
in the Gardeners' Magazine, how pretty
a table plant it makes. When pruning
old specimens in February or March
some of the stouter wood should be
saved and made into cuttings a few
inches long. Each cutting should have
three eyes, one to be inserted under the
soil, and two to remain above it. These
cuttings should be placed, four together,
in a 3-inch pot at equal distances near
the edge and stood in a projpagating
case. Growths will soon start, eight in
all, from the eyes, and they should be
carefully retained. Before they become
unmanageably long, the specimen should
be shifted entire into 4-inch or 6-inch
pots. At this stage, ihree light bamboo
canes should be evenly split in halves,
and the ends so inserted in the pots as
to form a low balloon; or four stakes
may be arranged in the form of a pyra-
mid. In either case, the shoots should be
tied in to cover the sticks, and, if well
attended to, some excellent room or table
plants will be formed by August, and
they will last in beauty for many weeks.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA.

Having a desire to see what the flo-
rists of the Magic City are doing, I
visited a number of the most up-to-date
and largest plants, and spent a most de-
lightful week among as progressive a
bunch of florists as there is to be found
anywhere in this country.

My nrst call was upon Hugh Seales,
at bchillinger Station, where I was wel-
comed by one of the most cordial sons
of Ireland that ever lived. Mr. Seales
nas a place of twelve acres and 22,000
feet of glass, kept in first-class order.
There are two houses of Brides and
Maids, one of Golden Gate, one of
Beauty, all in excellent condition, show-
ing great skill in Mr. Seales' method of
rose culture. Several houses of carna-
tions, one of smilax and plumosus, sev-
eral houses of lilies, spiraea, bulbous
stock, etc., for the Easter trade, were
also in grand shape. A crew of able as-
sistants were very busy getting every-
thing ready for the Easter rush. Mr.
Seales has a store at 109 North Twen-
tieth street, where I found A. S. Sawyer
in charge, doing a splendid business.

My next visit was to J. Parker's new
establishment at i'airview Station.
C. Zbinden is manager here and is pre-
paring to build the largest plant in the
state. They have 20,000 feet of glass
up and another 20,000 feet under way.
Stock here was in very good condition.
Roses and carnations are as fine as can
be grown, thousands of fine breaks from
the bottom coming in just right for
Easter. A great variety of bedding
plants are in excellent condition. Mr.

Parker also has a store at First avenue
and Twenty-first street, in charge of
Miss Nettie Zbinden, where 1 was most
pleasantly entertained for an hour or
more. Miss Zbinden reports business
everything that could be wished.

George Currey, 221 North Nineteenth
street, also reports business very brisk.
Mr. Currey has a handsomely equipped
store and had on display a handsome
collection of palms, ferns, bedding
plants, cut flowers, etc. Mr. Currey and
several assistants were busy waiting on
the trade, and only having time to get
in a few words edgeways, I left to visit
Win. M. Lindsay, at City Hall building,
317 North Nineteenth street, where I
was received with true southern hospi-
tality. Mr. Lindsay has the most hand-
.somely equipped store in the city, and
re])orts business very good. Mr. Lind-
say also has a greenhouse plant at
Woodlawn, which was visited and found
in very good condition. Carnations were
especially well grown here. Decorative
stock, ferns, bedding plants, etc., were
also fine and show that Mr. Lindsay is
right up to snuff in the business.

1 also met Mr. Williamson, who is do-
ing wonders in beautifying the fine
homes at the Highlands and other parts
of the city. I would have liked very
much to visit several other growers on
the outskirts, but being so handsomely
entertained by the ones visited, and my
week's vacation having come to an end,
I regretfully said good-bye.

A. J. KoEXie.

NEW ORLEANS

Business is not as brisk as could be
expected at this time of the year. Last
winter was very mild and many plants
have endured in the ground and do not
need to be replaced. The different mar-
kets are well supplied with all sorts of
flowering and foliage plants. Several de-
partment stores on Canal street are sell-
ing plants. What effect this will have
on the trade is to be found out later, but
it will certainly be against the florists
who have stores in town.

Auction sales, also, which seem to have
more reason to exist in larger markets
than New Orleans, are held here at short
intervals. They may bring a few cash
dollars for the surplus stock of some
growers, but they have a tendency to
lower the prices and overstock the mar-
ket.

The season is not over by any means,
and no doubt every florist will dispose of
his stock. M. M. L.

Peoria, III. — .Toseph M. Cole is now
in charge at J. C. Murray's Main street
store.

Buffalo, N. Y. — 'The new crimson
canna, Mrs. W\ F. Kasting, is likely to
be very widely used within the next year
or two if it does as well everywhere as
it did at the St. Louis world's fair,
where it was awarded a gold medal.
All the canna specialists have bought
stock of it and it is being shipped to
growers all over the country.

PACIFIC COAST.

Our small advertisement in the Eeview
has brought us several good sized orders
for seeds. — Coronado Nurseries, Coro-
nado, Gal.

Portland, Ore. — J. J. Butzer says
that everybody is as busy as can be,
seeding, lawn making and outdoor
planting being in full blast the first
week in April. This will be his banner
season, three times as heavy as last
year. He recently shipped an order to
Japan for seeds amounting to $500.

CLOSE OF NURSERY SEASON.

With the arrival of the middle of
April the Pacific coast nurserymen are
practically at the end of the planting
season. From reports from our largest
nurseries, it has not been an especially
profitable one, principally on account of
the long continued rains in the late win-
ter and early spring, together with an
almost entire absence of cold weather
at its proper season.

The rains were very late in coming
last fall, and when they did start they
continued almost without intermission
for about eight weeks. Between the
showers a few warm spells started de-
ciduous stock budding almost before the
last season's dry leaves had fallen, and
when it was possible to dig at all, in
most cases the planters had become dis-
gusted waiting for suitable weather for
planting and concluded to defer every-
thing for another year.

This fact does not make much differ-
ence with ornamental shrubbery, but
where the stock in question was in the
line of fruit or deciduous shade trees,
another season added to the present
growth in many instances makes the
trees too large to handle with safety or
for good after-results.

The dealers handling fruit trees ex-
clusively had a rough deal, as in a ma-
jority of cases there was a good de-
mand for trees, but the planters abso-
lutely could not get their ground in
order before the trees had budded too
much to handle.

The spring trade for small stock prom-
ises well, Ijjut only a limited number of
dealers here devote much space to its
growth, preferring rather to cater to the
planters of hardy outside shrubbery and
trees.

The season with the wholesale flower
growers has been fair. Better prices
would probably have prevailed if the
weather had been such as to make inside
stock scarce, but when it is taken into
consideration that we have only had half
a dozen frosty nights in a year, it makes
the production of flowers comparatively
easy. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

Business is fair, although nothing to
brag about, and stock of all kinds is
plentiful. It is a pleasure to be able
to remark that the retailers can get all
the stock in the rose line that they re-
quire. Carnations are to be had in any
quantity and stock has dropped just a
little in price, although it may stiffen
somewhat again before Easter.

Regarding Easter trade, I have spoken
with quite a few of the dealers here
and there seems to be a general idea

Wm. G. Meyer, one of San Francisco's
pioneer florists, died in Alameda March
30. Mr. Meyer was 74 years of age and
retired from active business several years
ago. He "was well known by all the
gardening fraternity, having lived in the
vicinity for over forty years.

A. Kingier, of W. W. Barnard Co.,
Chicago, is in town.

J. D. Brady, of Gill's Floral Depot,
Oakland, has returned from a three
weeks' visit to Chicago.

Chas. M. Eobinson, landscape gar-
dener, of Rochester, N. Y., has returned
from Honolulu and is stopping for a few
days at the Palace hotel.

Miss Solomon, the decorator, had the
big Elsey wedding decoration in Oak-
land.

Louis Nelson, employed at Golden
Gate park, was killed by the falling of
the big windmill near the Ocean shore
drive. Mr. Nelson was 46 years of age
and married.

series, reports a good spring trade in all
lines of flowering stock.

L. D. Carter has purchased two acres

The Fredonia grapevine growers re-
port a very active season, with some va-
rieties running short.

Swain Nelson & Sons Co. proposes

addition to the Chicago ofiice they re-
cently opened one in Pittsburg.

The United States Department of Ag-
riculture has issued a bulletin, written
by Hermann von Schrenk, discussing
' ' The Wrapping of Apple Grafts and Its
Relation to the Crowngall Disease. ' '

The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus,
O., is planting a collection of evergreens
as a show ground for customers.

The imports of trees and plants at
the port of New York last week were
valued at $30,739 in consular invoices.

The nurserymen of the Pacific north-
west are closing a very prosperous sea-
son. The increase in population is very
rapid, fruit growing is having a rapid
development and there has been hardly
a day the past winter on which nursery
stock could not be dug or planted.

It is stated that in the winters of
1900 to 1904 from 2,000,000 to 2,500,-
000 peach trees were planted annually
in Texas, but that the past season not
over 250,000 were planted. A bulletin
of the Texas Agricultural Station says
that the decrease is due to the loss on
earlier plantings, in itself caused by lack
of knowledge or neglect of the proper
methods of cultivation.

Many southwestern orchardists are
following a method of planting peach
trees believed to have originated a num-
ber of years ago with W. T. Wilson,
Nacogdoches, Tex. He spaces twenty
feet apart each way and every six trees
in the field form a hexagon, with a sev-
enth tree in the center. The rose grow-
ers under glass call this diagonal plant-

ing * ' staggering.

At twenty feet

apart it gives 126 trees to the acre.

Lilacs are budded on the California
privet in greater quantities each year.

The Georgia peach orchards had a
remarkably heavy bloom this year, and
although considerable damage was done
by the cold snap in March in most lo-
calities the trees have set enough fruit
for a profitable crop.

Harlan P. Kelsey says of Stenan-
thium robustum, the mountain feather
fleece, that ' ' this remarkable hardy pe-
rennial is, without doubt, one of our
best new introductions, and may be
classed with the showiest of all herba-
ceous plants. As the buds begin to un-
fold they are quite upright, and of a
light green tinge, gradually becoming
whiter until at last they burst forth into
a veritable snowbank of drooping, fleecy
bloom of purest white, the panicles often
two to three feet long. After several
weeks the flowers, as they ripen, turn
to shades of pink and purple. It is a
vigorous perennial, attaining a height
of from five to eight feet, and is abso-

Cedar Kapids, Iowa. — Anamosa and
Tapton. are both endeavoring to secure
the Graham Nursery. Tipton has made
arm offer of $2,000, and Anamosa has in-
creased that bid $500.

The railroads are assisting the nur-
scK-y agents in the development of the
Osark fruit regiou. The 1906 peach
crop, i f profitable prices are realized,
will give tlie work an appreciable boost.

Tor the Dallas meeting of the Ameri-

see ured, and it is proposed to consoli-
dat^e as many parties as possible and
tra"vel by special train.

The Fred Wellhouse nursery, near
Leavenworth, Kan., lost twenty acres of
you ng stock April 2, through a fire which
swept oA'cr several square miles in that
locality and also did much damage to
the TVellhouse orchards.

The demand for conifers is larger
this season than in any other spring.
Since it has been learned that these
trees may be moved with safety, the pub-
lic is asking for the better kinds in con-
8tani;ly increasing numbers. The lead-
ing nurseries now grow seedling coni-
fers by t;he million.

MAKING BORDEAUX MIXTURE.

Wliere only a small quantity of Bor-
deaux mixture is required — from a
bucketful to a barrel — a method de-
Scribed by B. T. Galloway gives excel-
lent K"esult;s. The formula is four pounds
bluestone, five poimds lime to fifty gal-
lons of -water. Two half-barrel tubs
are made by sawing a barrel through
the middle. One tub is used for the
bluestzoiie .solution and the other for the
milk of ILme, .and each tub should con-
tain t:wnty-three to twenty-five gallons.
One mfin dips the bluestone solution with
a bucket and pours it into a whole bar-
rel or other vessel, and another man
simult aneoTOsly dips up and pours in
buckeCfuls of the milk of lime. The
lime solution should be kept well stirred.

In preparing very small quantities of
Bordeaux mixture, buckets or similar
vessels may be substituted for the half
barrel tubs. It is possible for a single
operator to dip a bucketful of the blue-
stone solution and then a bucketful of
milk c^f Urne and pour them together
into a vessel. It is usually preferable
to have a bucketful or so of water in the
recepta cle into which the solutions are
to be p ourec3, but this is not essential.

The better and quicker way of mak-
ing up Bordeaux mixture by the barrel
consists in placing the two half-barrel
tubs ort an elevated platform and then,
by mea.ns of hose or spigots, allowing
the two solutions to flow together into
a barrel.

No m.atter what quantity of mixture is
to be made "up, it is necessary to strain
the mafcerials through a wire strainer.
The beat tyT)e of strainer is made of
brass wire, "with eighteen or twenty
meshes -to the inch. If all the copper
solution is strained and then the milk of
lime is strained into the dilution vessel,
it will aiot "be necessary to strain the

The past week trade has improved
very much, owing to the fine weather
we are having. In March we had twenty-
one days without sun, and thirty inches
of snow fell in the month; so you caji
see how much the pleasant days are wel-

and the craft is all ready for it with a
big lot of good stock.

Florists* Club.

. April 3 the club held its first meeting
for the month at its old rooms in Iro-
quois hall, as a permanent new location,
which will be more central, has not yet
been found. President Stevens was in
the chair, and all the other oflBcers, as
well as a very large attendance of mem-
bers, were present. Our members are
very much exercised because the Board
of Education has refused to allow the
penny packets of seeds to be distributed
to i the school children. A committee
consisting of McKellar, Woodrow and
Taxon will meet the board in a few days,
when explanations will be in order. M.
B. Faxon and C. P. Bethards were
elected active members. There was dis-
cussion of plans for the coming chrysan-
themum show, and horticulture in the
schools. Adjournment was to Tuesday
evening, April 17.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

April 12, 1906.

INDIANAPOLIS.

Current G>tiunent.

During the past week the Tveather has
been more to the florists' liking. We
have been favored with plenty of sun-
shine and a springtime atmosphere. The
conditions being more favorable, the late
Easter stuff stands some chance of get-
ting in on time. The different stores
show by their displays that Easter is
at hand and all look forward to a large
business. The market is well supplied
with bulbous stock. There is also a good
supply of roses and sweet peas may be
had in quantity.

Geo. B. Wiegand has just returned
from a trip to Chicago.

A visit to the many . greenhouses
around the city finds all busy getting
their bedding stock in shape. There
seems to be plenty of all kinds, and the
quality fine.

The Club Exhibition.

Our spring show was held April 9 and
the weather was anything but favorable.
There was a gooa attenuance, the dis-
play was creditable and the quality of
the cut blooms was extra. The E. G.
Hill Co. staged some fine roses and won
out in all classes, Baur & Smith doing
likewise in the carnation classes. H. W.
Bieman and E. Hukriede & Son carried
all before them in the plant display.
H. Schilling had a pair of as fine spiraeas
as could be found anywhere. His azaleas
were also fine. Smith & Young Co.
showed fine violets. G. Teilmann, of
' Marion, had an exhibit of roses. W. J.
& M. S. Vesey, of Ft. Wayne, exhibited
a fine lot of Glenaale that attracted
much attention. S.

Whitehall, Mich. — C. M. Davidson
has joined William E. Pew, bringing an
extensive experience in the nursery line
and in growing vegetables. The trade
in plants and cut flowers is increasing
steadily and the, outlook for business in
the nursery department is very en-
couraging. The firm name will be W. E.
Pew & Co.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

April 12, 1906.

PITTSBUHG.

The Market

The cut flower market has been quite
satisfactory the past week. Carnations
were somewhat scarce, the growers prob-
ably holding back for Easter. Roses are
quite plentiful and improved in quality.
Beauties seem very abundant and sell
cheaply and everything else in flowers
and greens is plentiful, except smilax,
which is quite scarce.

Various Notes.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is han-
dling ixias and Spanish iris but the sup-
ply has been short of the demand.

The Florists' Club met April 3. The
subject for discussion was Easter plants
and quite a number of well grown speci-
mens were on exhibition. Schenley park
had a grand display of cinerarias, spir-
a;a, hyacinths, narcissi and tulips in var-
iety, all of which were fine. David
Fraser had some well grown hydrangeas,
azaleas, valley and begonias. Blind Bros,
had hydrangeas, lilac, spiraja, ramblers,
genistas and lilies in pots. There was
quite a discussion about lilies and the
general feeling was that there were no
strictly first-class lily bulbs.

A. W. Smith had a novel window last
Saturday. It was arranged nicely with
plants and a pen in the centre and con-
tained about 200 live chicks. These were
sold in baskets of flowers, the chick in
little cages made of twigs in the center
of the basket. By night nearly the whole
lot were gone.

Visitors: John Walker, Youngstown,
O. ; Miss Clara B. Forbes and Arthur
Langhans, Wheeling, W. Va. ; Miss Mc-
Dowell, Steubenville, 0. Hoo-Hoo.

Fitzgerald, Ga. — Joel Thomas says
business is so good he needs more houses.
He is looking for a profitable crop to
grow with carnations.

ThcWcckly Florists' Review.

April 12, 1906.

QNQNNATL

The Market

At this ■nriting we are in the midst
of the quiet before the storm. Business
IS very much on the slow side. The sup-
ply of stock is small also, but this is a
good thing. Moderately warm weather
with bright sunshine has aided mate-
rially in bringing out the Easter cut.
The supply of carnations will be much
heavier on this account and roses also
will be helped along. Bulbous flowers
have never looked better. Thus the pros-
pects for a fine Easter business this year
are of the best.

The retail flerists are looking forward
to a fine plant trade and by way of en-
couraging it are making beautiful win-
dow displays of all varieties of pot
plants.

From the Avholosale district comes the
report that advance orders have never
been larger. There is a heavy call from
out of town which will insure a large
shipping trade.

Various Notes,

Matt Fcls, of Collinsville, died dur-
ing the past week. He was well known
among the local craft, having been a
stand-holder in the flower market. He
was advanced in years and had been
ailing for some time.

The wedding of Miss Belscher and
Eoss Brooks took place at the Church of
Advent at Walnut Hills last Tuesday.
Both parties are well known in florists'
circles in this city. Miss Belscher has
for a number of years been associated
with Chas. Jones 'in the Walnut Hills
Floral Bazaar. The wedding was a quiet
one. C. J. Ohmer.

Olneyville, R. I,— James Crawshaw
has a new asparagus to which he has
given the name Asparagus plumosus
Crawshawii. It was well thought of
when exhibited at the Boston spring
show, receiving honorable mention.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

Current Comment.

Carnations are being planted in the
field nearly a month later, I am told,
than last year. The continuous wet
weather has made it impossible for some
to plant, especially those living in the
biacK land district. The planting of
shrubbery has ceased, it being too late
for that class of plants. Geraniums,
antirrhinums, verbenas and that class of
stock are being planted extensively.

Carnations are looking well, consider-
ing the past gloomy weather, and a good
Easter crop is assured. Some of our
florists will be forced to buy Harrisii,
as the unusual warm weather made it
impossible to hold them. All bulbous
stock is off for this year. Next year
will see a much larger amount of such
stock planted. Calla lilies, so far as I
have ascertained, are a failure this year.
Azaleas have profited by the warm
weather and are now in full bloom.

This state is a peculiar one in many
respects. One must become established
here to do anything. Everyone, al-
though not necessarily from Missouri,
must be shown. Square dealing, truth-
ful representation of stock, coupled
with the faculty of delivering promptly,
will carry the day in time. But if a
dealer misrepresent anything, or show
an inclination to charge excessive prices,
he may as well pack up.

Sweet alyssum and carnations are the
staple crops in winter here. Without
these we would have to rely upon shipped
stock. Next year we hope to have other
flowers to fill in.

Mr. Munson, of Denison, was at Sher-
man last week, visiting the florists there.
He reports business increasing to the
extent that he will be forced to remodel
his establishment soon. Mr. Munson
being located on the territory line,
draws an immense business from that
section, which is increasing each year.

Mr. Fitzpatrick, of the Texas Nur-
sery Co., was forced to throw out some
of his carnations to make room for a
new stock of roses and bedding plants.

The sympathy of this section is ex-
tended to J. S. Kerr, of Sherman, on
the death of his son Murray, who died
from injuries received in a mine acci-
dent at Butte, Mont. Mr. Kerr was a
young man of promise and his early
"death is greatly deplored. Eobert Kerr,
of Houston, attended the funeral of his
cousin at Sherman, i>fARCissus.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

April 12, 1906.

ELMIRA,N.Y.

The florists of Elmira were greatly
surprised to receive word that Supt. J.
J. Curran had severed his connection
with the United States Cut Flower Co.
Mr. Curran is very popular among those
who have the pleasure of his acquaint-
ance, and the news of his resignation
has caused much regret in town. The
employees of the U. S. Cut Flower Co.
presented him with a beautiful silver
smoker's outfit, including a fine meer-
schaum pipe. W. K. Compton, the presi-
dent of the company, acted as chairman
at the presentation, and spoke very
highly of Mr. Curran, and ably ex-
pressed the sentiments of all present.

Mr. Curran did not disclose his plans
with regard to his future movements, but
wherever he may go, it is certain that
he will carry with him the best wishes
of all with whom he has associated in
Elmira.

There will be a considerable increase
in glass here this spring, Fred La
France contemplates adding 10,000 feet
to his plant, to be devoted exclusively
to carnations. The United States Cut
Flower Co. is discussing the advisability
of erecting another 100,000 feet next
month.

Business is fairly good and Easter
finds the growers well prepared to meet
the demand. J. E. S.

ORANGE. N. J.

The regular meeting and display of the
New Jersey Floricultural Society was
held April 6. The usual exhibition of
the season's flowers from well-known
hands was made, about equally between
competitors for the society's prizes and
not for competition. Among the latter
were the choicest orchids from the houses
"of Lager & Hurrell and Julius Eoehrs
Co.

James Kelly was elected to member-
ship and Louis Piker placed in nomina-
tion.

The topic for the evening was * ' The
English Landscape," portrayed by col-
ored lantern slides by A. C. Bode, of the
Orange Camera Club, with explanatory
notes by the secretary. Jos. A. Manda
appeared for the first time since his ill-
ness. J, B. D.

LENOX, MASS.

The regular meeting of the Lenox
Horticultural Society was held April
7, President S. Carlquist in the chair.
The principal topic of the evening was
' ' Potatoes. ' ' An offer of $25 was re-
ceived from A. -I» Boddington and one
of $18 from Vaughan to be used for
prizes at our chrysanthemum show. W.
J. & M. S. Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind.,
were awarded a first-class certificate for
an excellent vase of Carnation Glendale.

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-

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.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SOOETY.

W. Wells, of England, offers gold, sil-
ver gilt and silver medals for six varie-
ties of ehrysanthemums, two of each, on
12-ineh stems. The following are eligi-
ble: Mrs. H. Partridge, Mrs. D. Willis
James, Merstham Crimson, Mary Ann
Pockett, Beatrice May, T. Richardson,
Mrs. Heaume, E. J. Brooks, Mrs. F. F.
Thompson, Mrs. W. Knox, Mrs. J. E.
Dunn and Miss May Seddon.

A prize of $50, $25 and $10 is offered
for twelve blooms on 24-inch stems, for
the best American seedling or sport, the
color to be Avhite, pink or yellow, the
name to be given by the donor of the
prize. David Eraser, Sec 'y.

THE READERS' CORNER.

Coloring Carnations.

We note the inquiry of R. E. W. in
last week's Review, and while we agree
with the editor's sentiments regarding
the coloring of flowers, to a certain ex-
tent, Ave know', too, that one cannot al-
ways govern the demand, and if colored
carnations are wanted we must try to
please our customers. We have found
that green aneline is used for coloring
carnations green, for Pat's day, and
suppose blue and yellow aneline would
do the same work. ' A nickel 's worth of
aneline will make about a pint of color-
ing. Use in vase. It takes about six
hours for flowers to take up enough col-
oring. Kaber.

Ants and Moles.

My remedy for ants is a little cam-
phor gum broken up and placed in the
hills. In a few hours the ants will have
aliandoned their home.
. For moles I pour a little kerosene in
the runway, or a little bisulphide of car-
bon will drive them out. Don't take a
light near either. R. E. W.

Troy, N. Y. — ^A fire occurred March
27 in- the establishment of W. C. Good-
rich, 357 Broadway. The damage was
slight.

Rives Junction, Mich. — E. E. Stew-
art reports a good sale on gladiolus
bulbs this spring. He has already
shipped several large orders, one of
which amounted to 50,000 bulbs. He
will plant about twelve acres this spring.

Muncie, Ind. — Damage amounting to
about $300 was sustained by Rea Rig-
gins in a fire which broke out in his
greenhouse, north of this city, March
30. The fire, which originated in the
boiler room and had made considerable
headway before being discovered, was
extinguished by a bucket brigade.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
CHANGE AND PROGRESS

Change simply means changing — it may be for the
better or for worse, but progress means the aban-
doning of something good for something better.

Every year your competition is keener, every year you must turn out more and better
plants or else reduce the cost of those you do grow. The man who persists in erecting
greenhouses that are not right up to the top notch in improvements — just because they are a
bit cheaper at the start — finds himself struggling to keep apace with the fellow who has the
lighter house — the one freer from repairs.

Every grower of course knows that the more light the more money made — that
repair costs eat deep into the profits — and still right on the face of it all, some will buy
"back number" materials and deceive themselves by thinking a little "extra hustling" will
make up for the start the other fellow with the other house has over him,

THE GLADIOLUS.

Culture and Care of Cut Spikes.

The request for brief cultural instruc-
rons being frequently made, I present
it,e following suggestions and expe-
riences for selection and application to
Vi verse local conditions:

The gladiolus is not exacting in its de-
.,:;inds upon the soil. I have grown it on
,.".c block of land yearly for over fifteen
I ears, the only fertilizer used being well-
,('tted stable manure and hard wood
• -Ijes applied before ploughing in the
, jtumn. No fertilizers are needed on
strong new soils as a rule.

Profuse watering at intervals is de-
c jable where local peculiarities of soil
rni limited rainfall prevail during the
• cuson of active plant growth and bloom-
i.xg. A brief period of ripening before
ihe latter season is beneficial, if not too
i-ivere, as this hardens the plant tissues
;:nd assures fliowers and spikes of in-
I ceased durability and quality. Exces-
sively succulent growth is not beneficial
to plant, flower or corm.

For best results, plant in full ex-
posure to the sun, in locations having a
free circulation of air; avoid crowding
by other plants or overshading by trees,
buildings or hedges. Plant from two to
four inches deep, according to the size
of the corms, — matured corms never less
than four inches, — two to four inches
apart in double rows, which may be made
as close as twelve inches in beds or bor-
ders. The greatest satisfaction is se-
cured by growing several thousand for
daily cutting as the first flowers open.

Dig the corms before the ground
freezes, cut off the stalk close to the
corm and store in a cool, dry place, in
baskets or shallow boxes. The old corm
may be removed a few weeks later when
convenient. It is not necessary to wait
until the plant dies down before harvest-
ing the corms, as a few weeks after
blooming is sufficient to mature both for
this purpose.

As our whole interest centers in the
beautiful flowers of the gladiolus* —
which for beauty and diversity in the
whole range of color have no equals in
horticulture, and their durability when
cut for table and other decorative pur-
poses is unexcelled in their season :
— Here, it is well to be fully informed
as to the treatment that will insure the
best results.

Cut the spike when the first flower
opens and place in water without over-
crowding. Remove the terminal buds
soon, as this checks stalk development
and throws the strength into the larger
and earlier maturing flowers. The end of
the stock should be shortened and the
water renewed daily with frequent cleans-
ing of the vases. In shortening the stalk
<ut diagonally, to insure free absorption
"f water by the spike, without the con-
vamination and obstruction, caused by
sediment, if cut at a right angle.

The fact that blooming the spikes in
*he shade of room or piazza modifies the
iield colors, from bright shades and tints
to delicate flushes and shadings, and also
reduces the latter types to the faintest
tinge of color or white, is well known
to experienced growers.

The advent of my new hybrids produc-
ing the most intense and deep shades of
violet, purple, crimson and scarlet,
hitherto unknown, as well as new yellows
^nd other bright colors, makes it desir-
f^ble that these brilliant combinations be
preserved when the spikes are cut for
•lecorative purposes.

Reports as to Easter trade speak of a considerable increase in the
volume of business done in all parts of the country. There is, however,
a divergence in the matter of the way stock cleaned out. Practically
everywhere the supplies of stock available wore greater than was ever
known before. The result was that prices could not be advanced so
much as at some previous Easters and in several instances there are re-
ports of larger supplies than could be moved without recourse to cheap
sales. This applies to both cut flowers and blooming plants and it is
probable that, while the total of sales increased, there was everywhere
much more stock to contribute to this result and the average price of
stock in all departments was rather less than usual, and in some localities
considerably less than had been expected.

In the cut flower department roses were in most places in shortest
supply and brought more nearly normal Easter values. Bulbous stock, if
cut, was not readily salable in the face of adequate supplies of other flow-
ers. In many markets carnations were very abundant and sold below
usual Easter values, white going especially slow. The output of Rhine-
beck violets was greater than ever and more widely scattered, but the
growers toDk in little, if any, more money than a year ago.

A notable feature was the increase in plant stocks. Weather condi-
tions operated to reduce supplies in certain lines, notably azaleas, but on
the other hand there was a great increase in the quantities of rambler
roses, spiraeas, etc., prepared for the occasion. Everybody had Crimson
Ramblers this year, and not all were sold. Easter lilies were in many
cases unlovely specimens. The good stock sold out clean, but the weak,
short, misshapen plants were left.

Taken altogether, it may be said that Easter marked another ad-
vance of trade records. It is but natural that it should be so. The busi-
ness is broadening every day and we should expect steadily to increase
our sales and our profits; indeed, wc must do so if the great increase in
glass is to be justified.

To ensure this most desirable result,
place the vases of these highly colored
types in the early morning sun for an
hour or two daily, preferably after reno-
vation and renewal of the water. This
practice will also enable the retention
and normal presentation of the original
delicate tints and shadings referred to
in the preceding paragraph, if so de-
sired.

As it takes about three days after
cutting to bring the spikes into strong
blooming condition, this should be al-
lowed for in advance of the date of in-
tended use. The spikes can be shipped
a thousand miles by standing them on
end in suitable baskets or boxes. On ar-
rival, cut off the end of the stalk, and
remove the terminal buds before placing
in water; they will then revive quickly
and with proper care give pleasure for a
week or more.

One of the causes of the popularity of
the gladiolus as a decorative flower, is
the fact that it has no perfume, as there
are few flowers used for this purpose
that are not distateful to some one, —
particularly in closed rooms, — either
from personal preference or painful asso-
ciation.

Where the pollen proves irritating to
the tissues of the respiratory organs, as
in the case of hay-fever subjects, the
anthers may be easily pinched out dur-
ing the daily renovation, when the faded
florets are also removed. This removal

of the anthers is desirable in the highly
colored types referred to, where the shed
pollen dulls the brilliancy of the petals
on which it may fall. H. H. Groff.

THE APOTHEOSIS OF EASTER.

Easter is the Great Day in the floral
calendar. It has been such for many
years, and it is annually occupying more
and more of the attention of the trade
for many weeks. Coming at the opening
of spring, when everyone welcomes flow-
ers in whatever form, it is but natural
that the wide-awake florist should make
the fullest possible use of the opportuni-
ties which the Easter festival presents.
But it should be borne in mind that the
one week of Easter business is not
capable of supporting an establishment
for half a year.

There is a disposition on the part of
some producers to expect the Christmas
and Easter holidays to yield a harvest
which will render inconsequential the re-
turns at other times. "With the great in-
crease in glass whi^h has recently taken
place, especially in the middle west, the
markets are so readily supplied that even
the greatly increased demand at Easter
is cared for without difficulty. Any ef-
fort at accumulating stock only results
in glutting the market and breaking
prices. Any attempt to advance values
beyond those in keeping with the quality
and freshness of the stock immediately

turns trade into other channels. The
man who places Easter on a pedestal
and looks to nothing else finds himself
minus his profit. Steady crops for every-

day markets are far more profitable than
great supplies of over-ripe flowers ac-
cumulated for Easter at the expense of
weeks both preceding and following.

Shift the Spring; Stock.

It was most pleasant to walk into the
greenhouses on Monday morning at 9
a. m. and notice that what last week
was a brilliant bench of bloom is
changed to a bare bench, ready for other
crops — and right welcome are these bare
benches.

The zonal geraniums you shifted into
4-inch pots three or four weeks ago will
be much in need of spacing. When
doing this is the time to scatter some
spent hops, decayed leaves or some such
material between the pots. We will
hardly call it plunging, but if it is only
two inches deep it will save much evap-
oration and drying out. Its advantages
are many and as for expense of time
and labor you will more than save that
by the less frequent watering the plants
will need. They will not burn with the
hot sun of May and will need no shad-
ing. The plants will be of much better
quality and better fitted to go outdoors
in the sun and wind.

Seedling annuals, particularly asters,
will need to be transplanted from the
seed pans or flats into other flats, one
inch apart, and when doing this do not
forget to insert the little plants down to
the seed leaf in the new soil. Be sure
to firm the soil around their roots, not
so much at the surface, but deep down
where the roots are.

The cannas which you started in flats
are now five or six inches high. They
must be lifted and potted at once. A
4-inch pot is large enough to make a
good bedding plant. Be sure to give
them a light, bright bench. A canna
grown in a warm, shaded house is in
poor order to plant in a flower garden.

The big Caladium esculentum was al-
so started in flats three weeks ago and
is already wanting a 5-inch pot. Put
these also in the fullest light. If grown
soft they are blown to pieces by the
first big wind and look like the battle-
scarred flags seen in a parade of the G.
A. R.

The tuberous begonias intended for
bedding will now want potting into
4-inch pots and the sooner you get them
into a mild hotbed the better.

If you are in the bedding plant busi-
ness there will be no end of things which
want their last shift and the next two
weeks will be a busy time.

Starting: Poinsettias.

You can take from beneath the bench
your old plants of poinsettia that have
been resting there since New Year's
perfectly dry. Shake off all the old
soil, shorten back the stem only when or
where it is still green or decayed and re-
pot in a size smaller. Start growing
in a temperature of 60 degrees, with
frequent syringings. They will soon
start and break into new growth, which
will give you plenty of material for

cuttings. Although this is the right time
to start, yet there is plenty of time for
cuttings, for the very early struck cut-
tings become quite tall and often much
pot-bound and then lose their foliage.
Those propagated in July make fine
plants, either for pots or planting out
for cutting, and as late as August and
even September will do well for pans.
We found at last Christmas that the
single plant in a 5-inch or 6-inch pot is
no longer the thing. Nearly everyone
wanted a pan with five to eight plants.
I don't blame them.

Care of Left-over Plants.

There is very little left-over stock
that is worth bothering about. Azaleas
are an exception. Pick off all flowers,
especially old seed pods, and put them
in a temperature of 55 degrees to 60
degrees and there they will make a
good growth until it is time to plunge
them outdoors in early June.

Any hard-wooded plants, like the
bottlebrush or Acacia armata, can be
cut back to within a few eyes of last
year's growth and given heat and mois-
ture and they will make growth for next
year's blooming. Cytisus is not worth

carrying over. They become white ele-
phants on your hands.

Unless you are in a neighborhood
where rhododendrons do well, do not
bother with them one minute unless you
have ^a neighbor against whom you want
to have a joke; then present them to
him. But best of all, we hope you have
little or nothing left over.

THE CALLA LILY.

And Other Stories.

The calla lily is not the popular plant
it was twenty-five years ago, when it
was in great demand, not only for fu-
neral designs, but used in bunches, and
in those days the question was often
asked, "How are your callas, " not
* * How are your lilies, " as it is today,
meaning L. longiflorum.

Callaa are grown singly in pots or
planted out on a bench. Of late a dis-
ease has appeared which has destroyed
many roots. Here is a bed of callas
which has evidently escaped all disease,
grown by Wm. Ehmann, of Corfu, N. Y.,
the little rural village of Genesee county
which has gradually grown to be quite
a carnation center, where the writer has
spent many innocent and virtuous days,
consequently happy ones.

Something has occurred of late in the
town of Pembroke that has brought out
some ruminating thoughts. It has taken
a vote whether the town should or should
not have licensed hotels. While the vil-
lage of Corfu said "Let's have two or
three hotels," the town, which com-
prises several villages, said no license.
A strange coincidence is that Corfu,
which has six or seven florists, voted for
license. The villages that have no flo-
rists voted "no." This is merely a co-
incident, from which nothing is to be in-
ferred.

'William Ehmann, Cotfu, N. Y., and a CaIIa«

Up to six years ago there was no
undertaker, and little call for his serv-
ices, had one been numbered among
our business men at Corfu. Then sud-
denly an undertaker put out his shingle
and made the usual handsome window
displajr, and lo ! the inhabitants began
at onefe to die off, so that the undertaker
might live. The oldest inhabitants passed
away in bunches of four or five weekly.
As there are not more than 500 souls
in the ' corporation, including five min-
isters of different denominations, and
three doctors, the cause of the great
mortality must not all be blamed on the
poor undertaker. The trustees of the
village at the next meeting will consider
the desirability of getting rid of two
doctors and at least three ministers, in
the belief that by so doing the village
can be restored to its former and normal
healthy condition. If this is found
efficacious the licenses will be restored.

The writer told a story at the Tn-
ilianapolis banquet of the Carnation So-
ciety which I think pleased some of my
auditors. It was founded on fact and
occurred in this little village.

A man lived here fifteen years ago
■who was a very successful farmer and,
besides, was the pillar of the Methodist
rhurch. His name was Nicholas Dorshi.
So well was he known, and so univer-
sally respected, that when poor old
Brother Nick lay at death's door they
thought it was proper to write upon the
'"hurch door bulletins of his last hours.
So on that sad night, George Adams,
liead deacon, wrote: "10 p. m. Brother
Dorshi very low." Another hour went
^y and again he wrote, "11 p. m. Con-
sultation of doctors; no hope for Broth-
(^r Dorshi." Another anxious hour went
>^nd then the fateful words appeared,
"12 p. m. Brother Dorshi dead and
gone to heaven."

Tom Doyle was then the witty and
■'ible town clerk and, having business
that way and in cotapany with Joseph

Canfield, added another and later bulle-
tin which read. "1 a. m. Great excite-
ment in heaven. Brother Dorshi not ar-
rived. ' '

But I have strayed away from the
callas. Brother Ehmann says they oc-
cupy a house 100 feet long and eight
feet wide. It is the middle bed, with
six inches of good rich soil on the solid
ground. They were planted July 1, 1905;
perfectly dry roots which had been grown
and flowered the previous winter. As
they were planted some fifteen inches
apart, 3,000 Halliday chrysanthemums
were grown between the callas, 2,500 be-
ing sold as first-class and 500 as seconds.
Up to April 6 Mr. Ehmann has averaged
six flowers to every calla plant and ex-

pects to average nine flowers before,
they are dried off.

The illustrations will show you the
size and number of flowers and Mr.
Ehmann himself. Mr. Ehmann does not
aim to grow any crop to superlative per-
fection, but grows dollars and cents to
every square foot.

This establishment was built by the
Webb Brothers, then sold to George
Troup, the superintendent in our beau-
tiful Forest Lawn cemetery in Buffalo,
and purchased the last winter by Mr.
Ehmann, who ran it a year for Mr.
Troup.

There are great hopes for the village
yet, as they have basket ball teams of
both sexes. Ed Giddings is manager,
Terry Kinsella oflicial umpire, William
Thayer chaplain and Mr. and Mrs. D.
Scott and Myron Johnson chief rooters.

KILLED BY PRIMULA OBCONICA.

Some of our greenhouse plants are
known to have poisonous properties, per-
haps the most widely grown variety be-
ing the popular Primula obconica. While
the majority of gardeners can handle the
plant with impunity, there are many to
whom it is poisonous. We have not pre-
viously, however, heard of any death be-
ing caused by it, but in a March issue of
the London Lancet, the leading English
medical journal, Dr. W. H. Brown, of
Leeds, states that a woman 29 years of
age was recovering from an attack of
influenza when she scratched her nose in
smelling this plant. The nose swelled,
became a deep plum color and inflamma-
tion with suppuration spread to the eye-
lids, the forehead and scalp. Nothing
stayed the progress of the disease and
the patient died.

It is unfortunate that this most de-
sirable and useful decorative plant has
the faculty of poisoning anyone. No
doubt some timid persons may be led
to discard the plant from reading the
foregoing. This, however, seems to be
a very extreme and exceptional case.
Remedies to alleviate any irritation have
been given in these columns on several
occasions. Witch hazel and vinegar are
both good. The plant appears to poison
more when the hands are wet.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

It is often necessary or convenient to
display two different kinds of stock in
a window at one time. If by any means
the coloring and habits of growth can
be blended and placed in their proper
relation, all well and good; if not, call
off the proposed combination.

Once in a while one is caught with too
many violets. Eather than set them in
vases in rows in the window, stem into
groups as for basket work. Make a bed
of sphagnum three or four inches deep
in the window. Cover with some kind
of soft green and sprinkle. Dot the
stemmed violets over the space in tri-
angular shape, occupying the front sec-
tion of the window. A mirror or mir-
rors for a deception will greatly aid in
a low window arrangement like this.
Back of the violet triangle, but close
against it, group Boston ferns or one
kind of blooming plants, which should
be quite tall in comparison to the vio-
lets.

In one case Hermosa rose plants af-
forded a pleasing background for the
violets, as well as displayed the plants
themselves. There was close harmony
in color between the soft pink of the
Hermosa roses and the blue of the vio-
lets, ana a decided difference in grow-
ing habits of the violets and rose plants,
which was properly inaicated by the vio-
lets being grouped low at the foot of
the tall roses. The sharp lines of the
triangles formed by each group of
plants were broken sufficiently by the
overhanging branches of the roses, which
here and there fell close over the violets,
while some other plants, like Dutch
hyacinths or Easter lilies, would have
stood like soldiers in the ranks and the
triangular effect would have appeared
too mathematical.

A few people still cling to the idea
that in decorating, the fireplace should
be attacked and jammed full of palms
which have done nothing deserving of
such treatment. Don't waste any good
material on a grate unless it is un-
sightly, in which case a little wild smi-
lax or some cured birch sprays will make
a better screen than a dozen palms
crowded together. A fireplace doesn't
show any trimming after a company of
people are gathered in the room.

It is surprising to what extent care-
lessness or selfishness will allow a per-
son who calls himself a decorator to de-
face woodwork, walls and floors. The
after effect is not only to the discredit
of the guilty person, but to the whole
craft as well. Plants, plant stands and
vases are often hauled over polished
floors and against woodwork without a
thought of the damage being done.
Tacks or nails should never be put in
the face of woodwork, except by direct
orders from the owner. If one cannot
suspend the decorative material from
tlie top or sides of woodwork, where it
is permissible to put nails and tacks,
he has yet to enter the primary class of
decorating. It makes one sorry to see

beautiful walls and finishings so reck-
lessly defaced.

A funeral spray one can enjoy in the
making is a large one of Murillo tulips
well open, with Spiraia Gladstone and
plenty of Asparagus Sprengeri. The
tie, if any is used, may be a loose,
fluffy bow of plain light green chiffon.

Another creation in pink is the union
of Golden Gate and Chatenay roses, th«.
latter full blown, with Asparagus plumo-
sus and tie of embroidered pink chiffon.

Anything which one thoroughly enjoys
when making is almost sure to have the
necessary touch of life to please the
customer. Gertrude Blair.

the skillful plant decorators.

Plants seen are principally grown in
6-inch pots, although occasional pyra-

the regular A. Indica section, rosy in
color, a very desirable shade for the holi-
days. The plant in habit closely resem-

latter is hardy in Massachusetts even
after very severe winters. It evidently
has a considerable proportion of amceoa

for Christmas as readily as any other
azalea.

CONCRETE FOR CHIMNEY.

Is it practicable to build a chimney
of concrete and what size would the flue
need to be for a place of about 20,000
feet of glass? W. E. F. W.

To put up scaffolding and a frame to
build the chimney of concrete, as you
would, a wall would be very expensive
and then, again, if built of concrete
blocks, which are now extensively manu-
factured, it would not be as serviceable
as brick, for concrete does not stand fire
as well as brick.

You do not say whether it is for a
steam boiler or for several water heaters
you want to use the chimney. If for
steam, I can tell you something definite.
Your 20,000 feet will need two thirty-
five horse-power boilers, or one of sixty
to seventy horse-power to do the work
comfortably. Such an outfit will need a
chimney fifty feet high and two feet in
diameter; that is, a two-foot opening.

We often see immense stacks built in
factories where a large amount of power
is used and occasionally see greenhouse
steam plants with tall, massive smoke-
stacks. Depend on it, the higher the
stacks the more economical the fuel bill.
If you are using a return flue tubular
boiler, the fire will burn and make steam
with a smaller and shorter smokestack
than is often seen, and that may appear
to some as all you want. Not so. With
slow draught the flues of your boiler will
soon clog up with soot and after firing
strongly five or six hours they will fill
up, the draught is almost stopped and
you are wasting fuel. With a strong
draught, such as an ample chimney af-
fords, the soot is carried through the
flues. The strong draught prevents the
soot from resting in the flues. The
draught rushes through them and keeps
your flues clean. This is why engineers
design lofty chimneys. There is nothing
tbat beats a brick stack, although, of
course, a heavy iron chimney is much less
at first cost, but its life is short. The
only means of prolonging the life of the
stack is frequent expensive paintings.

BOILER AND PIPING.

What gives the best heat for growing
carnations, lettuce and a general line of
other plants, such as geraniums, helio-
tropes, etc. ? I have a greenhouse 20x
64. The walls are brick and five and
one-half feet high, with two feet of glass
the full length on the south side. It is
ten feet to the ridge. At the center of
the north wall of this greenhouse is a
brick house 16x22 feet, with a basement
of the same size. The basement floor is
five feet below the floor of the green-
house. Would it be deep enough to ac-
commodate a boiler? West of the brick
house and adjoining it and the green-
house I have now, I want to build an-

other greenhouse; and bring it out even
with the present greenhouse. That will
be 22x23. Please tell me how to heat
them? It sometimes is as cold as 20 de-
grees below zero. I know of two second-
hand boilers I can buy. One is for hot-
water and the other steam. Which would
you advise me to buy? Which requires
the least pipe, fuel and attention? Is a
house with two-thirds of the roof to the
south good to grow lettuce and vegetable
plants in? H. L. H.

For a plant no larger than the house
20x64 and the contemplated house 22x23
feet a hot-water system will prove most
satisfactory, and even if there were an-
other house 20x64 parallel with the pres-
ent one of that size, I think water would
still be most desirable. The cost of in-
stalling the piping for water will exceed
that of steam by a few dollars, but the
cost of maintenance will be less, as the
water will require less attention.

The basement of the brick house is
deep enough to accommodate any one of
the modern hot-water heaters of proper
capacity to supply heat for these green-
houses. Do not get a second-hand boiler
unless you know it to be a good one.
A three-quarter span house with the long
side to the south would be satisfactory
for lettuce, carnations or roses if prop-
erly piped. It is not the kind of heat
so much £is tnQt.plro{)er temperature which
makes for success in greenhouse work.
I cannot estimate the cost of the pipe
or the work for you, but can say that to
pipe the house 20x64 it will require
about 800 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe for
60 degrees temperature; in the house
22x23 feet 320 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe
will be required. To heat two houses
20x64 and one 22x23 feet, about 2,000
feet of 2-inch pipe will be required. A
hot-water boiler large enough to do this
work should have a rated capacity of

CAPAQTY OF BOILER,

I have a greenhouse 20x40 and eleven
feet high J sides four feet, vrith about
two feet of glass. I have a coil boiler
for 910 feet of radiation. Can I heat
another house the same as the above, or
add forty feet to the old house? Which
would be the better to get the best re-
sults from the boiler? I have a 3-inch
flow pipe under the ridge and return
under the benches in ll^-inch pipes, four
under the north bench, and under each
of the three other benches I have two
pipes, making ten pipes in all. I in-
tend to put in more pipes this spring.
Let me know how many I can feed with
a 3-inch flow. To build forty feet to
the old house I must first lay the ground ;
that is why I would like to know if there
is any diflference in heating one house
20x80 or two houses 20x40. S. S.

If your boiler has a rated capacity of
910 square feet of radiation it is large
enough to heat the two houses 20x40, or
the one house 20x80. My preference
would be in favor of the one house 20x
80, although I am of the opinion that
the two houses 20x40 could be heated
more easily than- the single long house.

carry the full capacity of the boiler. If
114-inch pipe is used and the house is
made 20x80, the 3-inch flow should sup-
ply fifteen returns the length of the
house. This is all based on water at
180 degrees. L. C. C.

PIPING TWO HOUSES.

We have one house 18x75 feet, nine
and one-half feet to the ridge, four and
one-half feet to the plates. The west
wall is brick, the east wall double
boarded, with tar paper between. There
is a shed on the north end. The two
side benches are two feet wide and the
two center benches four and one-half
feet wide. Adjoining the above house
on the south is one 19x60 feet, ten and
one-half feet to the ridge, five and one-
half feet to the plates; the west wall
brick, the east wall containing eighteen
inches of glass, double boarded and pa-
pered. The benches are the same as in
the other house. With a 2-inch flow
under each bench, how many 2-inch re-
turns will it require for 55 degrees of
heat when 20 below zero outside?

J. A. C.

The house 18x75, with water at 180
degrees, will require about 550 square
feet of radiation, or 880 lineal feet in
2-inch pipe; i. e., three 2-inch pipes
under each of the four benches, one flow
and two returns. The house 19x60 feet

From the standpoint of convenience,
however, the long house is most desir-
able. The location of the boiler should
be at the end which will give greatest
protecticor from storms and wind ; i. e.,
the most exposed end of the greenhouses,
if the slope of the land will permit.
The 3-inch flow is large enough to

will require 520 square feet of radiation,
which is equal to 835 lineal feet of 2-
inch pipe. This amount is sufficient to
place a flow and two returns under each
bench save one, which would have a flow
and three returns. The most exposed
side of the house should be the one to
receive this extra line of pipe. C.

certificated last fall by the Chrysanthe-
mum Society of America few scored as
well as Lanona, a seedling of lolantha
crossed Sarah Bernhardt, exhibited by
Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich. It
made ninety-four points on the commer-
cial scale and ninety-five points on the
exhibition scale.

Lanona is an immense Japanese bloom,
flowering at a time when large blooms
are scarce. It is exceedingly artistic in
build, as shown in illustration, being ir-
regularly incurved, but not so closely as
to detract from its graceful outline. In
color it is pure white, with center petals
slightly tinted rose, enhancing its
beauty. An important feature is its
dwarf, sturdy growth, rarely exceeding
three feet in height and ample foliage to
cover the stiff stems. With ordinary
culture the blooms will attain a diam-
eter of eight inches. It will be es-
pecially valuable for early exhibitions,
being in perfection October 20 to 25.

BRIDAL WREATHS.

The bridal wreath I refer to is Fran-
coa ramosa, a very pretty and dainty
greenhouse subject. The popular name
has been given to the plant owing to the
pretty custom of tying the long, grace-
ful spikes of flowers to an arched wire
or willow wand, when they truly repre-
sent what their popular name proclaims
them to be. In the greenhouse the flower
spikes are generally allowed to assume
their naturally upright position, and a
more effective plant than the francoa
grown in this manner is difficult to find.

Propagation is generally effected by
dividing old plants or potting off-sets,
which form freely around old specimens.
To those who have no old plants, a
writer in the Gardeners' Magazine says
he would like to recommend seed sowing
as a means of obtaining vigorous young-
sters and ultimately sturdy old speci-
mens capable of yielding immense num-
bers of spikes of bloom.

The seed is not dear, and should be
ordered with that of the general run of
flower garden subjects. The same season
of sowing may also be followed, viz.,
about the end of February or the middle
of March. A heated greenhouse and a
pan of good, sweet, open soil are neces-
Piiry, sowing the seeds thinly and cover-
ing them with a pane of glass until
germination takes place. If sown thinly
the seedlings may remain in the pan
until they are an inch across, when they
should be placed singly in small pots.
Summer treatment consists of shifting
on until 4 V^ -inch pots are reached, and
at this stage the plants will be best in
a cold frame, with slight shade from
the brightest sunshine.

If room in the greenhouse is precious,
as it well may be where chrysanthemums
are growing in quantity, the young fran-
coas will be quite safe in a cold frame
until the beginning of December, pro-
vided they are kept fairly dry at the
roots and overhead, and a mat is laid
over the frame in severe weather. As
soon as room can be found for them in
the greenhouse they should be brought
in, and will then require more water,
but this should not be given in excess.

No further potting need be done, and
no feeding should be necessary until the
flower spikes start to push between the
leaves. This will probably be about the
end of March, twelve months from sow-
ing, and the plants should be in full

beauty by the beginning of June, from
when they will flower all the summer.

The winter treatment may be similar
to that advised for seedlings, but old,
pot-bound plants will stand a surprising
amount of rough usage. A few outside
leaves may brown and die, but new ones
will form on introduction to heat, and
no harm will accrue from the loss of the
old ones. Bepotting is not required
more often than once in two years, but
pot-bound plants should be liberally fed.

GREENHOUSE GRAPES.

What is the cause of young roots
breaking out along the vines, even to
the top, and on the spurs? When is the
best time to feed grape vines? The heat
was turned on the first of February.
What is best to feed them with? Mine
are old vines and are set about four feet
apart. A. T. B.

The breaking out of aerial roots along
the grape vines is caused by the atmos-
phere of the house being too moist and
too close. The reduction of the moisture
and the giving of more air will stop
the growth of the roots. I don't believe
that the roots in themselves do any
material damage to the vines but when
the condition of the atmosphere of the
house is such as to cause the growth of
aerial roots it is not congenial to the
best interests of the vines, as it is sure
to cause both thinness of foliage and
weakness of growth.

The time of feeding will depend large-
ly on the condition of your vines. Old
vines as a rule should have an applica-
tion of some fertilizer just previous to
starting. For this purpose we use bone
meal one year and uuleached wood ashes
the next, giving a liberal application
and forking well into the border. A
good, liberal feeding with liquid manure
is given just after the grapes are
thinned. Liquid procured from either
cow manure or sheep manure is good for
this purpose, or the two might be com-
bined to good advantage.

We have seen grape vines fed even up
to the time that coloring had begun,
but this we consider poor policy, as if
fed too late more or less trouble will re-
sult from what is known as "shank-
ing." This is the withering up of the
iruit stalk, which checks the maturing
of the fruit and renders the attached

Francoa Ramosa, the Bridal Wreath.

berries sour and useless. Late feeding
also results in producing poor colored
fruit. You will no doubt have noticed
that as the fruit approaelies the coloring
stage, the growth of the vines is prac-
tically at a standstill and hence unable
to utilize food. The manure, if applied
then, must stay in the soil where it
must cause more or less sourness, the in-
jury to the roots resulting from this be-
ing no doubt the cause of shanking and
the prevention of perfect color.

With the

Advertising Man

Have you ever used the telephone as
a means of securing new business, as
well as keeping in close touch witli your
old customers?

For years we have miide a practice of
calling up on Friday of eaeli week, as
well as a few days before liolidays. a
selected list of customers and prospective
customers. Arrangements can be made
with the telephone conijtany to liave the
operator call tlio numbers for you by
furnishing a duplicate list, wliich \\\\\
save considerable time.

Last year we sold by this method
about $340 worth of plants, flowers, etc.,
and had all our stuff ready to deliver the
first thing Saturday morning, so that
when rush orders came we could give
them proper attention.

You may think this has Jiotiiing to do
with advertising, but it has, for adver-
tising sells goods and this is one of the
quickest and most profitable ways of ad-
vertising we know of. Billy Vax.

NEV YORK.

The Easter Market.

The slump in prices from 6 p. m. Sat-
urday to 6 p. m. Monday was fully fifty
jJer" cent. Beauties fell gradually on Sat-
urday night from their top of $50 per
hundred to $25 to $35 on Monday.
Brides and Maids, which occasionally
touched $15 and were strong at $12 for
Easter, for the best sold at $8 Monday
and violets traveled rapidly when the
rain came from 75 cents to 35 cents and
the left-overs ran up into the hundreds
of thousands. One expert declared half
a million violets remained unsold Mon-
day night, and so in the wholesale mar-
ket what promised on Saturday when
darkness fell to be the greatest cleaning
up in the street's history, became a loss
and a disappointment that both whole-
salers and growers will bear impatient-
ly. Dozens of toleplione orders received
during the day were cancelled. The
storm grew worse as the night passed
and Easter morning opened with a heavy
downpour. Ketailers lost all their usual
Sunday trade and so shared to some ex-
tent in the general disappointment. For-
tunately for them all tlieir plants had
been sold before dark on Saturday and
so as a plant Easter this will go down
in history as another record-breaker.

The sales of plants of all kinds were
enormous. Never was there such variety
and never were they more perfect. Alone
or in combination, large or small, the
demand was unprecedented. Everything
went. Nearly all the bon-ton retailers
were about out of plants on Friday
night. The plantsmen are perhaps the
happiest of all who participate in the
great industry that makes Easter so

memorable. Not a plant worthy of the
name remained unsold a week ago. The
rest of the year for them is "velvet,"
autos, trips to Europe and independ-
ence. New greenhouses and twice as
much for 1907, and a certainty of de-
mand, that is what it means for the
men who grow azaleas, hydrangeas, aca-
cias, ramblers of every kind and color,
and lilies, too, for every good lily sold
at 12 cents and many were worth 15
cents at 6 p. m. on Saturday. Tulips,
hyacinths and daffodils, violets in pots
and hardy roses all found their places
in the homes of the New Yorkers. The
outdoor early markets at Union Square
and elsewhere found thousands of early
buyers and prices were even better there
than in the stores.

There are left not enough plants to
make the retail windows look respecta-
ble, but the loss to retailers is a serious
one in cut flowers, not because of ad-
vance purchases, for these were most cau-
tiously made, but because of what might
and would have been had Easter opened
with sunshine and the great parade of
the 400,000 been possible as usual. Ju-
piter Pluvius never did himself greater
discredit and never fell a more costly
rain. Well, it is over, and we must
make the best of it.

The growers were good this year, and
did not do much pickling. They de-
serve more encouragement. The spirit
of fair play is dominant, but there
seems little excuse for the "cutting of
slips ' ' by retailers after sales are made
and prices agreed upon.

I hear of a church decoration tomor-
row that uses 5,000 lilies. They were
bought on Sunday and 8 cents each was
the price. A big fall within twenty-four
hours or lees! Something like the way
it goes down in Wall street, they tell
me.

Various Notes.

All the retailers had beautiful win-
dows. A walk from Twenty-third street
up Broadway to Forty-second, on the
Avenue and the other streets frequented
by the good stores, was a revelation, and
over in Brooklyn there was no end to
the supply and the beauty of it all.
Where everything came from, and how-
all could be so disseminated, is a yearly
miracle, growing more and more en-
trancing as population, demand and
wealth increase and demonstrating as
never before the fact that this big city
is the greatest flower lover and buyer in
all the world.

Sheridan 's Beauties were as fine as the
finest as usual. They maintain their rep-
utation, which has become national.

Traendly & Schenck served their usu-
al elaborate luncheon early Sunday
morning to friends and employees. Their
shipping trade was large, their red roses
popular as ever.

Ford Bros, handled half a million vio-
lets. They sold all their blooming
plants, and so did every wholesaler who
handled them. Even the daisies and
genistas found purchasers. James Hart
was regretting that he had not laid in
more heavily, as he could have sold three
times the quantity handled. There were
no exceptions, all the plants were gone.

Over 1,000 boxes of violets came down
from the Hudson river section Saturday
afternoon and evening. Over a million
flowers came in during the day. If the
weather continues cool the purple
shower will not fail before the first of
May. The quality still is excellent.

John B. Nugent is a father-in-law, his

daughter, Elizabeth F. Nugent, who is
his bookkeeper and a general favorite,
having married April 1 Roy D. Bailey,

mutually look after the- books until
June, when they leave for their honey-
moon trip to the big ranch of the bride-
groom's father in the "wild and woolly
west. ' ' I

There were not many novelties this |
year. Fleischman had some unique im-
portations in dwarf ostriches and cock-
atoos within whose stomachs, with an
opening in the back, was room for a
bunch of violets or valley. Some very
pretty glass baskets at Small 's and some
dark wicker hampers at Thorley's were
new. But the majority of the bon-ton
retailers contented themselves with ar-
tistic combinations of plants or beauti-
ful creations in ribbon decoration, with
tubs and pails in white and gold. All
the stores were splendidly banked and
the plants seductively grouped as early
as Wednesday in many places, and
Thursday's display has never been
equaled in the world.

Donohoe's Pompeian boxes of plants
sold rapidly and all his basket combina-
tions were handsome.

Bowe, Van Praag and Warrendorff
were cramped for room as usual. So,
in fact, were all the Broadway florists,
where room means rental and a store
that rents for less than $5,000 a year
is the exception.

The annual spring show at the Central
park conservatories opened on Easter
Sunday. Mr. Olsson has made his su-
perintendency at the park gardens a
success.

Alex. J. Guttman sails on Thursday
of this week for Europe, his object be-
ing three weeks of rest and recupera-
tion. He has had a strenuous season.

George Saltford seems to be building
to stay on Twenty-ninth street, which
with C. Millang, Starke, Cotsonas, Gel-
ler and Gunther, is a busy thoroughfare,
and now that there is no more room on
Twenty-eighth street the overflow will
naturally gravitate to Twenty-ninth.
Two more large ice-boxes at Saltford 's
are being constructed, one 7x14 feet and
one 10x18.

On Friday one of Lecakes' horses, a
Avagon and load of plants, were all de-
stroyed by a collision with an Eighth
avenue trolley and S. T. Cotsonas, one
of the members of the firm, was serious-
ly injured.

stalling Kroeschell boilers this season.

Wm. G. Badgley, of Chatham, adds
three houses 18x150 to his plant this
summer. He maintains his reputation
for extra Maids and Brides. Hifi

terprise after a ten weeks' illness.

H. E. Froment had a little Fourth of
July celebration last week when the
gas, or something else, exploded in his
basement. Xo one was injured, but Mr.
Coyle had a shock. Down at the plant

market, too, there was trouble when a
small cyclone struck it and leveled John
Birnie's big tent. Business was never
so brisk among the plantsmen, who
from now on will be hustling there be-
fore "sun up." J. Austin Shaw.

BOSTON.

The Easter Trade.

Once more the general verdict is that
Easter trade has broken all past records.
The weather during the whole week was
ideal for shipping plants. There were
misgivings as to what Saturday 's weather
might be, prognostications being for a
cold rain. Fortunately we had no rain,
only lowering clouds, the downpour being,
postponed until early Sunday afternoon.

Again it is to be recorded that it was
more a plant Easter than ever, the de-
mand being unprecedented. Of course,
lilies led in popularity. As a rule they
were in excellent condition. All the
growers were cleaned out entirely.
Azaleas came second in popularity. We
never saw better, and the demand was
excellent. There was a tremendous out-
put of Crimson Rambler roses. Some
were very good, many just as poor. It
was an easy matter to pick out plants
which had been pot-grown since the pre-
vious spring, the trusses being larger
and richer in color and the foliage vastly
superior. C^uite a few Baby Ramblers
were seen and sold well. In pink ram-
blers, Dorothy Perkins sold rapidly, much
better than the red varieties. Some Lady
Gay and Farquhar were also seen. Far
more of these could have been sold.
Quite a number of hybrid perpetuals
were seen, also Clothilde Soupert and
Killarney. Hydrangeas had a good sale,
but many of the plants would have been
better a fortnight later. Some very fine
Marguerite Queen Alexandra were seen,
and spiraeas were unusually good. Aca-
cia armata was the only variety of that
genus seen. V«ry few of the rather
coarse metrosideros were noted. Genis-
tas were fine and had a good sale. In
bulbous stock there was a good assort-
ment of narcissi and tulips, and growers
report a fine sale on these.

In cut flowers, while there was a very
good market, no remarkable rise in prices
occurred. Roses hardly moved at all.
Best Beauties did not make over $5 a
dozen, good medium grades being, how-
ever, in demand. Richmond and Liberty
at $15 per hundred were about the top
for these varieties, very few selling
higher. Bride, Maid, Chatenay and other
varieties made no advance at ,all and
were inclined to be druggy. Carnations
were better sellers than roses. Ordinary
stock made $3 and $4, good stock $5 and
$6, and some fancies $8. There was a
heavy output, but even whites cleaned
up well. There was a heavy sale for cut
lilies, the bulk going at 10 cents and 12
cents per bud. In pots 12 cents seemed
to be the general price.

Violets were somewhat scarce, es-
pecially good singles. The best stock
made $1, a few going as high as $1.25.
Extra doubles also made $1, poorer
grades cleaning at 50 cents to 75 cents.
In bulbous material, narcissi averaged
$2 per hundred; single tulips, $2, and
double sorts, like Murillo, $4; Spanish
iris, $4; gladioli, $2 per dozen, and
Dutch hyacinths, $3 and $4 per hundred.
Cut spiraea averaged $3 per hundred,
callas $10, marguerites $1 to $1.50 per
hundred. Sweet peas were in inadequate
supply and were snapped up quickly, the
best at $1.50 and seconds at $1 per hun-

dred. There was the usual supply of
stocks in a variety of colors, the best
double making $4 per hundred. Singles
were not wanted. Cut azaleas, antir-
rhinums, mignonette, anemones, ixias,
tritomas and other flowers were seen.
Lily of the valley was in moderate re-
quest at $3 to $4, and there was a fine
call for asparagus and adiantum.

Easter Notes.

A good many pot plants from Phila-
delphia and Long Island were seen. As
a rule these were inferior to stock grown
by Roland and our other best plantsmen.

Dorothy Perkins was the leader in the
rambler class, and if at all presentable
it sold on sight. The hybrid perpetuals
sold rather sluggishly.

Carbone had a fine lot of that beauti-
ful rhododendron. Pink Pearl, which
cleared quickly. He also had nice
Boronia elatior, ericas, some superb
Azalea Prof. Wolters, fine Dorothy Per-
kins rose and quantities of finely bloomed
English primroses in pans.

Mann Bros, are about the only success-
ful growers of Lilium candidum. They
iiad 3,000 of these, the flowers making
$8 per hundred. They sold 10,000 pots
of L. longiflorum and an immense quan-
tity of azaleas, rhudodendrons, ramblers
and bulbous stock.

Peirce Bros, cleaned out some 40,000
pots of lilies and had to refuse many
orders. They counted it the best Easter
on record.

McMulkin had some well-grown ericas
of the Wilmoreana type and fine Doro-
thy Perkins and other ramblers. His
large show window was a vision in white
and his large conservatory very attract-
ively arranged.

Houghton & Clark had a quantity of
finely flowered double red hawthorns and
excellent pyrus in variety and Prunus
triloba. Their specimens of Hydrangea
Otaksa were the finest seen.

Welch Bros, had a strenuous week of
it. They report a very heavy sale of
Ijot lilies, azaleas, spiraeas, ramblers and
hydrangeas. In cut flowers their busi-
ness was, as usual, of enormous volume,
covering every part of New England.

Galvin, in addition to the regular line
of Easter stock, had good bougainvilleas
and standard wistarias. He did a very
heavy business at the Tremont street
and Back Bay stores.

H. M. Robinson & Co. report trade in
their lines as unusually heavy, early
morning and late night work having been
necessary for the past fortnight.

As usual, Sim, Kidder, Spillsbury, Orr
and other violet specialists had superb
stock and they could have sold double
the quantity they had.

Qub Meeting:.

A big audience greeted J. A. Petti-
grew on April 17 to listen to his interest-
ing and practical lecture on "The Em-
bellishment of Streets and Waysides."
Everyone present seemed to feel a keen
interest in the subject so ably treated
upon, and an animated discussion was
lollowed by an enthusiastic vote of
thanks. The new additions to the mem-
Ijership roll, numbering from three
^mn^^' P^^^^» the club well above the
^00 mark. The president announced de-
tails of the club bancjuet on April 25.
there will be a reception at 6 o'clock.
^ he banquet will be served at 6:30, fol-
|owed by a first-class entertainment. At
• 0 clock one of the floors will be cleared
^JT dancing, for which an eflicient or-
chestra is engaged. The large advance

sale of tickets indicates an attendance
of 300 or more. Everyone present was
brim full of enthusiasm over the ban-
quet, and it was stated that visitors from
the North Shore and Rhode Island Hor-
ticultural Societies would be present.

It was announced that E. O. Orpet,
of South Lancaster, will address the club
at the meeting May 15 and that arrange-
ments for the coming landscape garden-
ing classes are being made. There were
some interesting exhibits in spite of the
meeting coming so soon after Easter. Re-
freshments were served and all present
voted the meeting the best ever.

Various Notes.

The residence of Clothier Pierce, of
Dighton, was destroyed by fire April 13.
A large proportion of Mr. Pierce's big
collection of dahlias were in his cellars.
Fortunately his greenhouses were saved.

W. H. Elliott's faith in Richmond
rose is such that he will plant 11,000 of
it the coming season.

E. Sutermeister says his Easter trade
in bulbous stock in pans was the best he
ever had.

The next exhibition at Horticultural
hall will occur on May 6. Azaleas, cal-
ceolarias, pelargoniums, tulips and nar-
cissi will be special features.

Not for many years have trees and
shrubs come through the winter with so
little injury as the one just closed. Even
plants of doubtful hardiness look fresh.

Nurseries in this section have all their
resources taxed just now to fill their or-
ders. The season opened so late, owing
to the cold March, that the shipping sea-
son will be even shorter than a year ago.

H. M. Robinson expects to start on a
business trip to California on or about
April 29.

H. A. Jahn, of New Bedford, has just
received a letter from F. L. Schulz, sec-
retary of the Kentucky Society of Flo-
rists, commending the wonderful keeping
qualities of his new seedling carnation,
No. 49. A box of it arrived two days
ahead of the recent show in Louisville,
and kept long enough thereafter to prove
it to be a veritable "globe trotter."

ST. LOUIS.

Easter Trade.

Easter trade from all reports was
quite satisfactory with the retailers,
wholesalers and growers. There was a
marked falling off in the call for cut
flowers of all kinds except lilies, but an
increased demand for blooming plants,
of which there were plenty, and of the
best quality. Lilies were in great de-
mand and sold out clean. Azaleas were
in evidence at all the stores. Bulbous
stock in pots and pans sold remarkably
well and good prices were realized.
Spiraeas and hydrangeas, too, sold well.

The floral displays in the windows of
the up-town florists were fine. Theo.
Miller, Eggeling, Kalisch and Windt had
magnificent displays of all kinds of
blooming plants. Fred. C. Weber, Town-
send, F. H. Weber and Michel had a
great plant trade and their stock was a
sight worth looking at. The best trade
in years was done by the Grand avenue
florists, Mrs. Ayers, Geo. Waldbart, Elli-
son, Ostertag and Newman.

The down-town florists, who do not
handle so many blooming plants, all re-
port a big trade in cut flowers. The
weather was not very pleasant, but favor-
able enough for delivery of goods with-
out extra wrapping.

The wholesalers were kept very busy
with the local and shipping trade, and
with some of them it proved the biggest
Easter on record. Great quantities of
lilies were disposed of. Roses were plen-
tiful. First-class stock sold clean.
There was too much of the second grade
in the market. American Beauties had
a big demand. A fine lot of carnations
were in the market, especially Lawson
and Enchantress. Fancy grades sold at
$5 per hundred. Of the other grades
none were sold less than $3. Violets
wer4, more plentiful than expected, but
not nrst-class. Of bulbous stock Harrisii
and callas sold best. Next came lily of
the valley and Dutch hyacinths. Tulips
were over-plentiful, as only the lighter
shades sold well. Smilax, asparagus and
adiantum had a good call, witli the mar-
ket well supplied.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club should have held a
meeting last Thursday afternoon, but
only five members showed up. They were
President Ammann, Vice-President Stei-
dle, Secretary Schray, F. J. Fillmore and
J. J. Beneke. The business of the meet-
ing was laid over until May, when a
large attendance is expected.

J. J. Karins, of Philadelphia, who
represents H. A, Dreer, spent a few days
in the city the past week.

.Julius Buechel, father of Edward
Buechel, manager of the Riessen Floral
Co., died the past week. The funeral
was held Saturday. Mr. Buechel has the
sympathy of the trade.

Frank Ellis, who expected to be back
from Panama for the Easter rush, writes
that it will be May 1 before he will be
able to return home. He sees a great
future in his banana plantation.

Arthur Ellison, in a race at the roller
rink the past week, had a fall which al-
most broke his nose. His friends hardly
recognized him at the wholesale houses
tlio next morning.

Miss Badaracco, in her pretty new
store, had a fine display of Easter plants
and reports a big trade.

Henry G. Berning reports that he dis-
posed of nearly 7,000 lilies during Easter
week. Business in other stock was also
very satisfactory.

Mayor Wells this week will nominate
the new city forester, and it looks as
though this offce, too, will be in the
hands of politicians instead of an ex-
perienced man.

The florist bowlers lost two of their
games with the Unions on Tuesday of
last week. Capt. Beyer was high man
and was followed by Ellison, Lohrenz,
Beneke and Kuehn. Monday they rolled
a match game with the Fern Glens.

NOTICE

Because of the new wage scale which
the Printers' Union has enforced upon
those employers not willing to stdfer
interruption of their business^ especially
because of that part of the scale which
makes overtime practically prohiUtive,
it is of first importance that the Review
obtain its advertising *^copy" earlier.

It is therefore earnestly requested
that all advertisers mail their "copy"
to reach us by Monday or Tuesday
morning, instead of Wednesday mom-
iog, as many have done in the past.

Contributors also please take heed.

CUT IT OUT.

Advertisers are urged to cut out of
their advertisements in the Keview any
items of stock on which they are running
low. Remember that the Review is
printed every Wednesday, Write so that
your letter will be received on Tuesday,
directing that items nearly sold out be
omitted. Don't wait until you are com-
pletely sold out ; orders will keep com-
ing. Don't neglect it. You will be at
no greater trouble to change your ad-
vertisement in the Review than you will
be to send back money — besides, you
know how it would disappoint you to
order stock and a week or so later, in-
stead of getting the goods, have the
money returned. Then, if the same
stock is listed in the advertisement in
the next Review, what would you think?

WASHINGTON.

Easter Trade.

With ideal spring weather and excep-
tionally fine stock the Washington deal-
ers were prepared to meet the volume of
Easter trade under most favorable con-
ditions. The results are most satisfac-
tory, and it may be said without indulg-
ing in platitudes that in things floral it
was a great Easter. Though New York,
Philadelphia and smaller markets
were heavily drawn upon for stock, in
addition to a large local supply, there
was little left. As a matter of course,
lilies were the leading item, but many
buyers took either a variety or "some-
thing just as good," in their eyes, the
result being that all good stocks were
rapidly depleted.

In cut flowers, excepting daffodils,
which only figured in a small way, there
was no outdoor stock in sufficient quan-
tity to affect the market for greenhouse
flowers. In addition to the abundance,
go.od quality and ready sale of lilies,

We take pleasure in stating that we
find

m

the quickest paper to dispose of surplus
stock. We assure you that when we
are ready you will hear from us again.

features of the trade were many fine
Crimson Ramblers, bougainvilleas, rhodo-
dendrons, spiraeas and azaleas. At
Cooke's the bougainvilleas and pyramidal
pink azaleas were a surprise, even to
some of the aristocratic residents of Du-
pont Circle, who, as a rule, are too well-
bred to be surprised at anything.

The Gude Bros. Co. exhibited purple
rhododendrons noteworthy for size and
beauty. In addition they had an im-
mense stock of lilies and other pot plants,
which went fast, both at wholesale and
retail.

Blackistone had a very attractive stock
of plants, his bougainvilleas being prom-
inent, while his gardenias, as pot plants,
were by many considered novelties, • as
they are not often seen here in that
form.

At Small's there were a number of
very handsome combinations of spiraea
and Farleyense, Crimson Ramblers and
ivy, and a very fine collection of azaleas
and other plants. The Crimson Ram-
blers grown by this firm were noteworthy.

The supply and quality of cut flowers
was good. Roses, carnations, tulips,
hyacinths and jonquils showed up in fine
form. While the violets were small, the
color, as a rule, was good and they sold

fast. Without casting any reflections
on the many newer varieties of carna-
tions (may all of them that are good in-
crease and prosper), it may be stated
for a fact applicable to this market that
nothing in sight throws even a shadow
on the popularity of Enchantress. (}ood
prices were realized throughout.

Various Notes.

George Shaffer had a regular Italian
garden on his Fourteenth and I street
corner, which was liberally patronized
by the public.

The Center market dealers were badly
handicapped for space to display their
large stocks of pot plants. This was
particularly noticeable at the stands of
Alex. B. Garden, F. H. Kramer and C.
Schellhorn, but all being men of the
sanguine temperament, they kept at it
and had good business.

Clarke Bros, brought in a house of
Carnot roses for Easter that helped out
materially in the cut flower trade.

J. M. Hammer & Sons came out strong
on fine tulips and hyacinths.

Miss Ethel Ley, who enjoys the dis-
tinction of being the only woman in the
city who runs a flower store and keeps
"no men about," had a good stock and
did a thriving trade.

In relation to the foregoing, Mrs.
Rosine Stauff, who is the only commission
dealer, had a busy week and was quite
successful in bringing a number of pro-
ducers and retailers together.

At most of the stores there was a de-
mand for extra help of experience.
George H. Cooke was ably assisted by
John Barry and Mr. Lewis, of the U. S.
Propagating Gardens. At Kimmel's
Wesley Reynolds, of the U. S. Botanic
Gardens, and Miss Robena Faulkner
helped out. At Gude's, Small's, A. B.
Garden's and the stores of the Washing-
ton Florist Co. the greenhouse force was
drafted into service.

The American Rose Co. put a large
stock of good lilies on the market, both
at wholesale and retail.

J. C. Garden & Sons wholesaled a
large number of their fine geraniums,
put up in large pans. The combinations
were quite attractive.

A scribe who occasionally visits the
Connecticut avenue stores says that John
Robertson's trade has doubled since he
took to advertising. SCOTTT.

TIME TO SOW CINERARIAS.

When is the proper time to sow
cinerarias to have them in blotom for
Christmas? W. E. F. W.

The seed can be sown at the end of
April or in early May. The cineraria is
a cold-blooded plant and does best in a
cold frame during summer, with the
sash lifted both back and front. Beau-
tiful as the cineraria is for the private
conservatory, we think for the commer-
cial fiorist it is a very unprofitable plant,
occupying too much room for the price
obtained. W. S.

The Easter Trade.

Easter was the exact opposite of
Christmas. At the yuletide stock ran so
far short of the requirements that whole-
salers were at their wits' ends in the
effort to protect the interests of good
customers. Last week supplies were so
much greater than the demand that com-
mission men were literally buried. Chi-
cago never saw the like of Christmas;
we hope we may never see just such an-
other Easter. However distressing it
may be to have insistent demands which
cannot be met, it is infinitely worse to
have the house full of stock for which
there is no outlet, while the growers sit
at home in serene anticipation of the re-
ceipt of checks for the week which will
pay the summer's expenses, including
the cost of a new house, or at least a
trip to the convention.

It is always the unexpected that hap-
pens. It waa the practically unanimous
opinion that there would be enough of
everything except carnations. It de-
veloped that these were the greatest over-
stock. In the advance quotations prices
were stiff; early in the week large or-
ders were accepted with reluctance, or
even declined; stock that commanded
$40 per thousand Thursday brought $30
Friday, $20 Friday night, $15 Saturday
afternoon, and Saturday night white was
offered as low as $10, with no takers.
There was no time that the market was
cleaned up, and Saturday night many
thousands were still on hand. Easter
morning was cold and damp, and sales
were made only at sacrifice prices, es-
pecially for the day-old stock and for

white. So bad a glut of white carna-
tions, many showing signs of age, never
has been known in this market.

What the growers will say may be
guessed. The commission men will have
need of an antipyretic ; the * ' roasts ' * are
certain. The man whose stock was
handiest when good shipping orders
were going out got the benefit; the
grower whose stuff was in the box under-
neath got — what? If they chanced to be
neighbors you can imagine what at least
one of them thought. At the same time,
the wholesalers were blameless. If the
growers could not foresee the immense
supplies, and warn their agents, how
could the wholesalers prepare an outlet?
Where did all the carnations come from,
anyway? One house received 75,000 on
Saturday, most of them white!

It had been expected that the supply
of roses would be adequate. It was
barely so. Deuteropathy, that sympa-
thetic affection of one part of the body
by an ailment of another, was the only
cause of weakness in rose prices. Had
the stomach of the market not been over-
loaded with other stock, the rose depart-
ment would not have had its headache.
Growers who had expected to fill all or-
ders for Beauties found themselves short.
Orders for Liberty and Eichmond also
had to be cut. The general quality of
roses was much fresher than of carna-
tions.

Of lilies there were enough. All the
good ones brought $10 to $12.50 per
hundred, but there was short-stemmed or
small-flowered, spindling stock that went
as low as $6, and some that was not sold
at all. Of other bulbous stock the glut
was something not soon to be forgotten.
A few davs of warm weather to the

south of us served to bring in large
quantities of outdoor flowers and the re-
ceipts of indoor tulips, narcissi and daf-
fodils were tremendous. It was impos-
sible to do anything with the flood.

Close to a million violets came in for
the Easter trade. Singles were not a
factor. The Hudson river stock was in
very poor shape; good to look at, per-
haps, but offensive to olfactors and to
be handled gingerly if any petals were
to be retained. A few of the best fetched
$1 a hundred, more brought 40 cents,
and some were not sold at all.

Of course, in such a generally glutted
market the odds and ends, like sweet
peas, mignonette, pansies, etc., were lost
sight of, and if sold at all, brought very
little. Greens were not specially abun-
dant; if you needed smilax you had to
pay for it.

In the plant department there was also
a surplus. Many poor lilies were left;
also Crimson Eamblers, hydrangeas,
spiraeas, etc. Some commission men re-
turned the unsold plants to the growers;
others have them yet.

Taking it all together, a simply pro-
digious quantity of stock was received,
an amount beyond all precedent, even
for the "great central market," and
the volume of business was something to
marvel at. On Friday night practically
every house in town wEis well ahead of
its sales for the corresponding days last
year. This was shipping business. Had
receipts of stock been shut off Friday
night, growers and wholesalers might on
Sunday have joined in a glad antiphony,
but the crash of values pulled Saturday's
and Sunday's sales below the same days
of a year ago; in some cases the falling
off was greater than the previous gain

had been. Taking it by and large, the
money result was satisfactory to the
wholesalers; it was about the only satis-
factory feature, the same as at Christ-
mas, the result being reached from the
opposite direction.

Easter at Retail.

There is more than usual unanimity in
the reports of the retail trade. A few
high class stores did less than usual, be-
cause of the absence of wealthy cus-
tomers, but most of the retailers did at
least as much business as last year — ■
and they made more money. There were
larger supplies of blooming plants, which
were therefore to be had cheaper than
usual, and the break in the cut flower
market on Saturday gave them the
chance that night to get stock at very
reasonable figures, so that the increased
profit was in proportion to the shrewd-
ness of the buyer.

Some of the retailers who get violets
direct from the growers had an experi-
ence which was an argument in favor of
the commission man. Several shipments
arrived in unusable condition. Not only
were the retailers this time paying more
than the going price, but they had to fall
back on the wholesalers for a second
supply; however, with the privilege of
seeing that the stock was all right before
they accepted it.

This Week's Market.

Alter the effort made for last week,
it was to be expected that Monday's re-
ceipts would be light. The demand was
stronger than had been expected and
there was a better market on Monday
than on Saturday, especially for carna-
tions. By Tuesday receipts were again
on the increase and values retrograded.
Beauties continue in active demand.
There is some call for lilies for the
numerous spring weddings, and valley is
also wanted for the same occasions.
Bulbous stock in general is nearly gone.
Violets were asked for on Monday and
Tuesday and could not be supplied, un-
less the left-overs from Easter would do.
Carnations are again coming in heavily
anu special sales will now be in order.

Various Notes.

Easter in 1907 falls on March 31.

On April 16 the Chicago Eose Co. in-
creased its capital stock to $30,000 and
took over the business of Joseph Ziska,
the manufacturer of wire work, who put
in the new capital. Officers were elected
on the same day, as follows: President,
Joseph Ziska ; treasurer, John J. Ziska ;
secretary, John P. Degnan. Mr. Ziska
has been engaged in making wire work
for twentj'-seven years and will con-
tinue to give his personal supervision to
that department. D. J. Murphy has

charge of the company's greenhouse
plant at Libertyville.

Crimson Kamblers were much more
plentiful and much better flowered than
in previous years. Vaughan & Sperry
had some fine ones. •

Peter Reinberg 's Liberty grower knows
Ms business. The same houses that gave
such a big cut for Christmas were again
in full crop for Easter.

It will be news, if not good news, to
several wholesalers that the ' Shaeffer
Floral Co., Kansas City, made an assign-
ment the morning after Easter.

A. L. Bandall Co. on Friday sent out
a single order of roses and carnations
only that required twenty-two large
boxes. Their receipts of violets were
376,000 for the week.

F. C. Struvy is preparing to start next
week on a two months' trip to Mexico
and California.

L. Coatsworth returned on Monday
from a fortnight spent at New Castle.
One of the Benthey-Coatsworth Co. 's
new houses will be finished and ready
for planting this week. The other two
houses are under way.

Chas. Heim, of Blue Island, who
closed up some time ago, has gone to
Texas.

carnation cuttings is breaking all rec-
ords. Last week, during the Easter rush,

Since the Supreme Court decided upon
the legality of the bond issue for the
Avest side parks, work will now proceed
upon the erection of one of the finest
conservatories in the country at Garfield
park.

Samuelson's Easter window is always
one of the most tasteful in town. The
center was an eight-foot cross of box-
Avood, made full and studded with lilies.
The background was a curtain-like effect
of narrow white ribbon, and in front was
a single hamper of lilies. One side was
banked with green and lilies, the other
open. The simplicity of the decoration
heightened the effect. When illuminated
it caught the eye of every passer-by.

Kennicott Bros. Co. received on Fri-
clay a shipment of Lilium candidum, the
old-time Easter lily. The stock was very
fine, but the buyers did not care for
them, having in mind the public 's lack of
appreciation last year.

Bassett & Washburn are cutting some
very fine President Carnot from their
house for summer blooms. The first were
ready for Easter and sold at sight.

E. H. Hunt had a good shipment of
home-grown Marie Louise violets for
Easter that brought $1 per hundred when
the Hudson river stock could hardly be
moved at all.

Jegen, who has been at 96 State street
for a year, will move May 1 to 31 Madi-
son street, near W^abash, where he will
hate much larger quarters.

The E. F. Winterson Co. is receiving
very heavy shipments of bulbous stock
from Tamaroa, 111.

Wietor Bros, have sold about all the
carnation cuttings they care to spare.
They expect to plant out over half a mil-
lion.

One of the week 's visitors is Harry E.
Felger, Geneseo, 111., grower of gladioli.

Paterson, N. J. — Edward Sceery is to
open a first-class flower store at Main
and Bloomfield avenues, Passaic.

Brooklyn, N. Y. — Henry Hession is
preparing to erect an addition to cover
125x135 at Lenox road and East Forty-
eighth street. Hot-water heat will be

PHILADELPHIA.

The Easter Market.

The greatest church festival of the
year, with its attendant throngs, music
and flowers, has been more universally
observed this year than ever before. The
enormous increase in the Philadelphia
market makes it difficult to give an accu-
rate report of the business done in
Easter plants and flowers. One man's
experience is exactly the opposite of
another 's. Taking the consensus of opin-
ion, it is safe to say that the plant
business was larger than ever before.
There were more plants grown, they were
better in quality, and there were more
sold. The weather up to Sunday was
ideal. The retail stores handled just as
many plants as it was possible for them
to deliver. The balance went on the
street in such great quantities that many
persons who did not visit other locali-
ties expressed the opinion that the street
venders were taking the business from
the stores. The absurdity of this idea
was quickly demonstrated by visiting the
stores, which had choice blooming plants

packed like sardines in a box in their
greenhouses or annexes during the mid-
ale of the \\eek, and by Sunday morn-
ing practically everything had disap-
peared except in some cases a small sup-
ply utilized for wedding decorations this
week.

It is difficult to particularize regarding
the varieties. The list given in this
column last season, with the addition of
a few novelties mentioned recently, will
practically cover the ground. Further
than that it may be added that the re-
tailers, by the aid of our energetic sup-
ply men, created combinations that fully
rivaled the dazzling Easter bonnets in
their effects.

Azaleas continue leaders and were very
fine. Both lilies and hydrangeas were
more plentiful, it seemed, than last sea-
son. Spiraeas were exceptionally well
done and were in great demand for
church decorations. Ramblers have a
strong following, but do not create the
furore of their novelty year. Of the
other plants, rhododendrons and genistas
were most in evidence. Tulips and daffo-
dils in pots and pans were rather scarce,
but hyacinths were plentiful and of fine
quality.

Despite the tremendous quantity of
plants marketed, the business done in cut
flowers was eminently satisfactory. Barr-
ing cut Easter lilies and calla lilies, it
cannot be said that any variety of cut
flowers were actually scarce, though
more could have been used at certain
times. The surprise of the market was
the heavy demand for Easter lilies.
Opinions differ as to the supply. Not
so many arrived in the city as had been
erpected and the demand was so heavy
thiit prices advanced toward Saturday
evening, when 15 cents could readily
hnve been realized for good flowers.
Calla lilies were scarce all week, good
flowers bringing satisfactory prices.

Another surprise was the rather moder-
ate supply of American Beauty roses.

The demand for red roses was ezceUent
and Beauties advanced to prices above
those listed in this column, $7.50 per
dozen being realized in many cases. The
Brunners, from Graham's, at Logan,
were of excellent quality and helped to
fill the place of Beauties in some cases.
Liberties were rather scarce and there
were very few Richmonds. Kaiserins
were in over-supply in some cases, prices
falling badly. The general rose market
dragged until Saturday, when at fair
prices there was a general exodus, a few
of the left-overs going on the street.

Carnations started at high prices but
failed to keep the pace and by the end
of the week prices had sagged badly in
many cases. Violets were in good sup-

ply and heavy demand. Prices varied
considerably, the best doubles bringing
$1.50, while some fairly presenteble
stock was sold at 50 cents. The ship-
ments from Ehinebeck did not all arrive
in good condition, Hightstown flowers
averaging better.

Valley was in very heavy supply and,
while it could hardly be called "a lily
of the valley Easter," still there were
great quantities used. Sweet peas were
popular and fairly plentiful; prices aver-
aged lower than last Easter, though $2
per hundred was obtained for quite a
few. Daffodils and daisies sold fairly
well, at good prices. Gardenias were in
plentiful supply, ranging from $1.50 to
$3 per dozen.

Greens were unexpectedly plentiful. A
shortage in Asparagus plumosus in some
eases was filled with A. Sprengeri, but
smilax, at the advanced prices, seomed
Jtretty nearly equal to tlie demand. A
go((d deal of wild .smilax was also con-
sumed.

To sum up, it might be well for grow-
ers to notice that this Easter brought out
more strongly than ever the folly of
sending flowers at the last moment to
the wholesale houses. I do not mean by
this to say that the evil of liolding or
j>ickling stock was seriously felt, but
many growers send in ratlier green
llowers that are often ba<lly wilted, at
the last moment, expecting tlictii to bring
Kaster prices. Such sttxk is unsatis-
factory to every one handling it. and in-
variably disappointing. It is also of in-
terest to note that the best j)rices, as a
rule, were realized on Wednesday. Thurs-
*'«y, and in some cases on Friday, while
'm Saturday prices declined all along the
line. The reason for this is that the de-
mand out of town is over, and in town
tiK* retailers anticipate their wants and
except in cases of dire necessitv will not

be bothered securing extra stock until
their entire supply is delivered.

Various Notes.

Paul F. Richtcr, manager for the
Henry V. Michell Co., has resigned his
position to take effect on April 2.S. ^Ir.
Richter 's resignation is due to ill health
and is greatly regretted by botli H. V.
and S. J. Michell. He started with the
firm as a boy eleven and a half years
ago, sweeping out the store, doing odd
jobs. By hard work and ability lie
steadily advanced to his present posi-
tion. Mr. Richter will take a two weeks'
vacation and, on May LI, he will begin
work as general manager for the Ameri-
can Horticultural Distributing Co., of
Martinsburg, W. Va.

A large shipment of cycas stems ex-
pected last week by .Johnson & Stokes
has been delayed. They will arrive next
Tue.sday on the steamer Siberia.

The Leo Niessen Co. is making a spe-
cialty of choice cattleyas. They have C.
Massia' and C. Skinneri, a small laven-
der |)ink, or it may be rose lavender, of
j)leasing form.

,J. J. Habermehl's Sons decorated the
Academy of Music for the ball of the
Knights of Columbus on Easter Monday
evening, said to be the last big ball of
the season.

There are a number of weddings and
other social festivities this week that are
kee[)ing the retailers actively engaged.

The formula given by Benj. Dorrance
before the New York Florists' Club,
])ublished in the Review of last week, is
so good that it will bear repetition. He
advises beginners that the road to suc-
cess is most likely to be attained by
"constant watchfulness, great care, the
utmost cleanliness and steady work. ' '

Baycrsdorfer & ("o. report the largest
Kaster ever had and are still very busy
filling orders. Mr. Baycrsdorfer will sail
for Europe on the Kurfurst about May
1.

.John Lucas & Co. report further ad-
vances in the price of greenhouse glass.
They strongly advise intending buyers to
l)urchase at once, as indications point to
still higher prices. The third or B qual-
ity is more than proportionately lower
than the second or A quality, owing to a
scarcity of the latter.

A number of buyers of hard coal were
disappointed in not receiving late ship-
ments just before the strike, due to the
railroads seizing them by right of emi-
nent domain "from necessity," or in
jdaiu English, to store them in anticipa-
tion of high prices, .should the strike
rontinue for any length of time.

.Mr. and Mrs. M. Rice, who sailed two
weeks ago on the Pretoria, have safely
iirrived in Hamburg. The passage was
very stormy.

The Market

After a week of anxiety and worry,
to say nothing of working almost day
and night, we have again survived that
towering land-mark in the florists' busi-
ness, that day of all other days, Easter.
Many are the sighs of relief, now that
the strain is over; but above it all,

everyone joins in the refrain: "It was
the greatest Easter ever. ' ' The demand
was something wonderful, but the one
reason which tended to make such a
healthy increase over other years was
the fact that there were so many more
flowers. Never has the supply been so
large. Most of the growers managed
to have a crop in full blast.

Bulbous stock was in all its glory and
never in my experience has it sold to
Buch good advantage. Lilies sold out
very quickly and there were calls that

creations for Valley and Sweet Peas.

Roses were in good supply, but I am
sorry to state that a large proportion of
those received in the wholesa e district
were almost beyond recognition, owing
to the salting process they had been
subjected to. Quite a number actually
had to be thrown on the dump. Will

growers never learn?

Carnations came very near being equal
to the demand and the stock was com-
paratively fresh. The bright days made

was the crowd which thronged the build-
ing. There was scarcely room in which
to breathe. The amount of business done
can only be guessed. Suffice it to say
that at closing time there was scarcely
a plant or even a bloom left to tell the
tale. The stand-holders are almost as one
voice in declaring the business this year
a healthy advance over last year.

Various Notes.

The monthly meeting of the Florists'
Society will be lield Saturday evening
at 8 o'clock. Tliere are a number of
important subjects to be discussed,
among them being the flower show to be
held in August, during the Fall Festival.
This subject will be of interest to all
growers and store men, as over $1,000
will be offered in premiums for cut flower
and design displnya. A large attendance
is hoped for.

Tlie retailors report increased business-

in flowering plants. They were all well
stocked and say sales were more brisk
than usual. C. J. Ohmer.

a vast difference in the supply or this
flower. Violets were in large supply
and many thousands sold to good ad-
vantage. Tlie supply of green goods was
also entirely adequate.

The shipping trade was unusually
heavy.

It would be incomplete, were I to close
these remarks without saying a word or
two about the Jabez Elliot flower mar-
ket. Readers wlio have not visited this
market can scarcely appreciate its ex-
tent, and for those who have, I will
say that never before were so many
flowers and plants seen under its roof.
It was a mass of blooms from one end
to the other, a sight unequaled, perhaps,
in this big country of ours, and one well
worth going many miles to see. Second
only to the uondorful display of flowers

Marquette, Mich. — The Stafford
greenhouse will move its downtown
branch store from the building occupied
by the Western Express Co. to a new
location in the Manhard building. More
floor and window space is available in
the new location.

Fairmont, W. Va. — Herman Schlach-
ter, who for nine months has been fore-
man for H. G. Fleming, has returned to
Winton Place, 0., where he was in busi-
ness for many years. A nearby chemical
works rendered his place no longer hab-
itable. He sued the concern and the
case was recently settled out of court
by the purchase of the property, Mr,
Schlachter to remove the greenhouses.
He will shortly resume business at a new
location.

THE BAG-FILLING MACHINE.

It is less than fifteen years ago that
the first automatic seed-packing machine
was placed in operation. At that time
all seedsmen were Missourians, in the
sense that they had to be "shown," but
it is a very safe assertion that not one

by hand in the brief period available
for the work.

The automatic pocketing machine was
the invention of Joseph C. Brown, of
Burlington, Vt., who built his first ma-
chine in 1885. It little resembles the
present model. It was not until 1892
that the Brown Bag-Filling Machine Co.
was organized at Fitchburg and the first
improved machines put out. The first
practical machine was leased to Burpee
& Co., and the first of the improved
model to Henderson & Co. Now prac-
tically every one packeting any consid-
erable quantity of seeds is using one or
more. The accompanying illustration
shbws one of the latest installations,
operated by Montgomery Ward & Co.,
Chicago.

The present-day machine has a ca-
pacity of an average of 3,000 uniformly
measured sealed packets per hour. Every
action of the machine is automatic, it
being only necessary for the operator to
keep the seed hopper full and the guide
box full of bags. The machine measures
the material, opens the bag, fills it, gums
it, turns the flap, presses it hard down
and holds till it sticks fast, making the
packet secure for the finest seeds. Eacli
machine carries a counter. A motor of
only one-eighth horse-power is required
to drive the machine.

In the last two or three years the
Brown Bag-Filling Machine Co. haa had
its imitators and has been put to con-
siderable trouble and expense in the
prosecution of infringements, but recent-
ly secured a decision from the United
Slates Supreme Court confirming its
pltents broadly. B. F. Brown, president
of the company, says that, gratifying
as is the decision, a factor which they
do not fail to appreciate is the cordial
loyalty of the seed trade, which has
been with them throughout.

BEAN SAMPLES WANTED.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co. have suggested
that you may be able to aid me in
obtaining samples of several old va-
rieties of beans which I wish to get, but
which are not on the general market.
They are Jackson's Wonder bush lima,
Burpee's White Zulu, Flageolet, White's
Prolific pole bean, any sort of lima bean
not white seeded, a bean in New England
called Spruce gum bean, a tree bean
with white, yellow-eyed seed. And any
sort of bean not on the general market.

Belle Plaine, la. H. B. Mosnot.

SEED TESTING.

The Seed Laboratory, Bureau of Plant
Industry, United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C, has sent
out the following circular:

Address all samples and correBpondence con-
cerning seed testing as above. ^ ^ ,

Samples are often lost and reporta delayed
on account of Improper address.

Accompany all samples with a statement as
to the exact purpose for which they are sent:

1. Examination for presence of adulterants or
dodder. , .^

2. Test for mechanical purity.

3. Test for germination.

The examination of samples for the presence
of adulterants or dodder requires but little time
and will be given precedence over all other
work. All samples sent for this purpose will be
examined at once and reports sent by mail or
on special request by telegraph at the expense

of the receiver. . . ,. , *»,..

The test for mechanical parity requires the
separation of the samples into three parts:

1. Pure seed (the kind being examined).

2. Foreign seed (all seeds not of the kind be-
ing examined).

3. Sticks, stones, dirt and chafr, the deter-
mination of the weed seeds presejit. and the per-
centage by weight of each of the three parts.

These tests require conslderabl-.- 1 1 trie and can
only be made by experts. The facilities of this

laboratory will not permit more than five mich
tests to be made for any one firm or individual
in any one calendar month. These tests will be
made and reports sent as promptly as possible
and in the order in which the samples are re-
ceived.

The test for germination consists In deter-
mining the percentage of a sample of seed
which will germinate under favorable condi-
tions. These tests of most seeds are easily
made by anyone, although some seeds, inclading
many grasses, are somewhat difficult to test,
requiring exact conditions.

Samples will be tested in the order in which
they are received, and not more than five tests
for germination will be made for any one firm
or individual in any one calendar month.

it not for the low prices they would re-
ceive scant attention. The prices for
mangel are higher and trade in this
article is likely to very considerably im-
prove in the near future, as stocks are
not so large as anticipated.

Complaints are heard from many quar-
ters of failures of early sowings of
various seeds and a further order to the
seedsmen is required to fill up the gap.

German seed houses report that stocks
of flower seeds and vegetable seeds have
cleared out well. Perennial grass seed is
active. Some firms have exhausted their
supplies of meadow foxtail and prices
of some varieties, such as tall oat grass
and cocksfoot show an upward tendency.
Clover seeds keep firm. Sufficient time
has not elapsed since the late blizzards
to judge to what extent these have af-
fected next season's seed crops through-
out Europe, but the outlook for biennials
is by no means encouraging, as many of
the stocks are killed outright and others
severely crippled.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
has issued The Lawn, by L. C. Corbett,
which will be sent on request to any ad-
dress. It is designated as Farmer's Bul-
letin No. 248.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

A record sale of orchids, so far as
high prices go, was recently held by
Protheroe & Morris at their salesrooms
in Cheapside, £5,340 being received for a
lot of only 122 plants. Odontoglossum
Pittianum, a plant with three bulbs and
only two with leaves, brought slightly
above £120. For Odontoglossum crispum
F. K. Sander, with only one bulb and one
growth, £840 was obtained. For an
Odontoglossum crispum Abner 'Hassell,
with four bulbs, just under £50 Avas i)aid,
while an Odontoglossum crispum Per-
simmon with three bulbs was knocked
<lown for a few shillings over £30. For
Odontoglossum crispum Pittiae and O^
crispum Fcarnly Sander £420 and £315
Avas realizeil, the latter with only one old
bulb. Quite a number of other types of
odontoglossum made between £70 an<l
£100 each. The plants were from the well
known Rosslyn collection of H. T. Pitt.
Sales of orchids in England have been
very common of late, but such prices as
described above are not of frequent occur-
rence and when such higli prices are
maintained throughout tlie sale, it is a
sure sign of better times for trade gen-
erally.

Speaking of orchids, advantage has
l)een taken by a west end florist of the
fact of Ar. Chamberlain's propensity to
always wear an orchid in his buttonhole,
.-ind when Mr. Balfour also wore ati orchid
during his campaign, the florist referred
to displayed a buttonliole made up of
dendrobium and fern with a caril at-
tached "As worn by Mr. Balfour and
Mr. Chamberlain."

A very distinct and new variety of
Freesia refracta is recorded, tlie color a
purple violet with white throat and a
blotch of yellow at the base similar to
the old variety of freesia. It is said
to ])roduce one-third more Idooms on a
spike. As a novelty and pot plant it
will be useful and enji.y a certain
amount of popularity, Init the color is
entirely against it competing with the
ohl Freesia refracta alba as a cut blogm.
A to us new variety of carnation of
the American section is being introduced
to the English trade by A. F. Button,
Iver, Bucks, in Nelson Fisher. Mr. Dut-
ton has a grand collection of American
carnations and makes a commercial spe-
cialty of them. He was one of the first
to take up their culture in England on
a large scale, and is also now disposing

of a considerable quantity of young
plants of leading sorts to other market
iiicii in Kngland.

Prict^ of out bulbous stock are keeping
up better than was generally consideretl
they Avould. Huge quantities are coming
in frotn the Channel Isles, Lincolnshire
and other growing centers. The supply
is probably somewhat larger than pre-
vious years, but taken on the whole prices
are more satisfactory. Jt is noticeable
that both early forcers and outdoor
growers cultivate hardly any other sorts
than tlie heavy and the large growing
narcissi, such as Emperor, Sir Watkin,
Ciolden Npur, etc. Of course poeticus is
an ex<-eption. Such sorts as the Leedsii
type are hardly ever seen in the markets
and what few there are generally make
high prices. No variety is better adapted
for forcing than ^frs. Langtry. It can
easily lie iiad in bloom in January and
is })articularly free flowering; as many
as five to seven blooms can be had from
a .single first-class bulb. This sort would

The "see<l special" is an institution
of the western railroads to demonstrate
to the farmer how best to cultivate his
land. These trains are maintained by
nearly all the western lines, but the idea
that they could be useful in the east has
only just dawned. The Boston & Maine
is the first eastern line to equip a farm-
ers' special, a train of five cars, which
is to be sent tlirough Massachusetts, Ver-

that you can deliver flowers on board

The Easter Trade.

We have only been in touch with a
few of our brother florists so far and
will not attempt to report fully on the
great event.

The first three days of the week were
dark, gloomy and rainy; then came
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, fine,
bright and warm, ideal not only to sell
but to deliver. Those who depended on
Sunday business from people visiting
cemeteries were disappointed, for Sun-
day turned out to be cold, raw and right
down miserable, but take it altogether
we must be well satisfied with the ele-
ments and hope other localities were as
fortunate. We can't expect to be in-
creasing our business by leaps and
bounds every year, yet if it could be ac-
curately figured out I feel sure the whole
amount of sales would be found to be
at least ten per cent ahead of any former
year. We have added 15,000 to our pop-
ulation and all hands feel prosperous.
There are few unemployed, all of which
helps more or less to induce people to
spend something on luxuries.

Miss Rachel Kebstock said that sales
of plants were far ahead of anything
in her experience, but on cut flowers she
thinks there was no increase.

Mr, Snell, of S. A. Anderson's force,
was delighted with the business in all

departments and said that, although
their stock was large and in prime con-
dition, there was not enough left to load
a baby go-cart.

W. J. Palmer & Son had the largest
stock of lilies and enough, as did sev-
eral others, while with many they were
scarce, but when several car-loads ar-
rived at Wm. Kasting's, from Cromwell,
Conn., there were enough for everybody.

Schwerdt & Berner supplied the stores
with very well grown hydrangeas, im-
mense heads of bloom, but it is not at
all a popular plant in this city. Ehodo-
dendrons sold well and so did azaleas.
There were extra fine Gladstone spiraeas
grown here and they went welll The
cytisus is almost a played-out plant and
the Crimson Rambler is scarcely as pop-
ular as it has been. We have to grow
Lady Gay or the Farquhar. Pans of
Murillo and Couronne d'Or tulips and
superb pans of hyacinths sold well. A
noticeable increase in hybrid roses,
grown by the William Scott Co. and
Collins & Forbach, of Pine Ridge, were
in great demand. JSIothing sold bet-
ter.

Violets were all the rage. Never were
so many handled. W. J. Palmer received
50,000 on Saturday night, but he had
none to spare Sunday morning and other
firms sold nearly up to that mark.

Carnations of finest quality came in
from the rural districts. None were
better than came from Corfu. We did
not hear of any scarcity of good roses.
Among bulbous cut stuff Von Sion nar-
cissus was a decided favorite.

A novelty in plants was a fine lot of
standard lilacs handled by President
Neubeck.

Everyone should be satisfied, x^eliv-
ery was mostly very satisfactory and
there are few telephone calls at present;
those sweet little messages that sound
like this : * ' Hello ! I ordered a lilac
sent to Mrs. Snodgrass and they never
got it." Or: "We had a beautiful pan
of hyacinths sent to our house Saturday
night with no card and we can 't think
who remembered us. Will you please
look up and let us know who sent it?"
All went well and all the pleasure and
most of the profit is in doing business
in a satisfactory way. Mistakes, kicks
and blunders are miserable and turn
your hair white, if there is any left to
turn. W. S.

Assignment of The Shaeffer Co.

On Monday the Chas. A. Shaeffer
Floral Co. made an assignment for the
benefit of creditors. The assignee is
W. W. Filkin, 510 American Bank build-
ing. No statement is made as to the
amount of liabilities or assets.

C. A. Shaeffer 's embarking in the
trade was with a blare of trumpets
which resounded from Kansas City to
New York. He was lauded as the type
of wealthy business man who turns to
the florists' business as a polite occupa-
tion for energies so long successfully
active that idleness is irksome. It was
asserted that he had ' ' money to burn ; ' '
and people believed it, for he said so
himself. He opened a wholesale and
a retail store at 805 Walnut street, and
built a range of glass with the an-
nouncement that it was only the nucleus
for a plant which would make Kansas
City the cut flower center of the west.
The wholesale store was disposed of
some weeks ago, to the Western Cut
Flower Commission Co., W. A. Bastian,
manager, but this was subsequently
closed, Mr. Bastian starting for himself
at 1303 Baltimore avenue.

The assignee states that the assets
of the company consists of "a very full
greenhouse," which is good for an as-
signment the morning after Easter. The
assignee asserts that if creditors are
lenient the assets will be more than
enough to meet all liabilities.

Various Notes.

L. D. Lane has become manager for
the Kansas City Carnation Co., 1303
Baltimore avenue, having greenhouses at
Pope Station, Kan.

Princeton, III. — Carl Ericcson is
making some extensive improvements at
his greenhouses on South street. The
old houses are entirely too small
for Mr. Ericcson 's large and growing
business. He is now erecting a modern
and strictly first-class range to cover a
ground space of 113x136 feet. He ex-
pects as soon as the new building is com-
plete to tear down the old houses and
move his stock to the new ones.

PACIFIC COAST.

The Theodosia B. Shepherd Co., Ven-
tura, Cal., has just issued a catalogue
which shows the Pacific coast to be keep-
ing up with the east in the matter of
good printing for trade literature.

Santa Cruz, Cal. — The Leedham Bulb
Co. has been reorganized and consider-
ably strengthened financially. The new
ofiicers are Montroyd Sharpe, president;
E. Leedham, vice-president; 0. J. Lin-
coln, secretary; Henry Willey, treasurer.
C. E. Lilly is superintendent. In the
past narcissi and dahlias have been the
principal stock produced, but tulips,
hyacinths, lilies and gladioli will now be
added. Additional land has been secured
and the company now has sixteen acres
of land especially suited for bulbs.

FLORISTS' MOSS.

The scarcity of florists' moss has
prompted some of the dealers to send
for their supplies to Washington or Ore-
gon. The article from that neighbor-
hood is not so valuable as the native
moss. On account of the excess of mois-
ture it grows very coarse and stringy
and cannot be used to the same advan-
tage as the local variety, and for hang-
ing baskets and other places where it is
expected to be kept green for some time
it is of little or no use.

For the past five or six years the gath-
ering and selling of moss has been in
the hands of various Italian firms, which
have practically a monopoly of it. As
the regions close to the railroads have
been denuded for years, there are but
few places left that can be profitably
worked. Far removed from the beaten
paths there are, of course, many thou-
sands of sacks still to be had, but as the
hauling is an important item when bulk
is considered, such localities are not very
popular.

On account of the fact that in central
and southern California the native mosses
make but a very meager growth, it takes
four years before the ground can be cov-
ered again to advantage.

The best quality of moss is taken from
our native live oaks, and the poorest
quality is found on moist rocks. The
latter is usually very short, with quanti-
ties of gravel and soil mixed with it.
If the conditions are favorable, the men
who gather moss can easily pick twenty-
five sacks a day. If there is any mois-
ture in it, it must be spread on the
ground until perfectly dry and then
sacked. The usual price charged by
the wholesalers is from 40 to 50 cents
per sack, each sack weighing in the
neighborhood of fifteen pounds. It has
been the fashion with the Oregon tree
moss to bale it in large bundles, but
there seems always to be more or less
moisture, and as a result considerable
stock has come from that locality en-
tirely unfit for use. From $40 to $50 per
ton is the price asked for moss in this
shape.

Moss h5s not as yet entered so largely
into the packing of plants, etc., as it
does in the eastern states, on account of
Its high price, and the chances are that
I* ^'ilJ never again be very plentiful in
this neighborhood. With each successive
year the gatherers will have to go deeper
into the forest, and this, together with
the destruction of much of our native

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

Writing just in the Easter rush, busi-
ness is fair along general lines. There
do not seem to be so many shipping
orders as we have formerly enjoyed. All
kinds of flowers are plentiful and cheap.
(Jarnations are to be had in any quan-
tity and at very low prices. Koses, al-
though they have kept up in price, are
in good supply and from present indica-
tions they will be very cheap in a few
days. For once at least in the history
of San Francisco there are plenty of
Easter lilies, both as cut blooms and
potted. The former cost the dealers
from $2 to $3 per dozen and the latter
from $6 to $9 per dozen. The country
is covered with calla lilies and they can
be had at from 75 cents to $1.50 per
hundred. Quantities of them are al-
ways used in church decorations.

Green stuff, both cultivated and wild,
is in good supply, the only article that
is scarce being wild maidenhair.

had the effect of rushing the season and

KOCHIA SCOP ARIA.

How is Kochia scoparia grown and
what is the best soil for it? J. H. C.

This annual is often known as the mock
or summer cypress because it resembles
a closely clipped evergreen. We have
never grown it, but remember seeing it
at Washington, D. C, last summer and
thought it a very decorative and desir-
able annual plant. The seeds may be
sown in the greenhouse in April or in
the open ground in May. The plants
should stand about two feet apart. Any
ordinary garden soil will grow it, but a
light texture is preferred. We learn
that this species has small, light-green
foliage, very compact, which gives it its
familiar name. At the end of August it
becomes covered with its minute but
countless flowers. W. S.

Pres., B. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce-
Prea., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md. ; Sec'y, Geo.
0. Sealer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches-
ter. The 3l8t annual convention will be held at
Dallas, Texas, June 13-15, 1906.

It is stated that the peach buds in
Michigan suffered to some extent in the
March cold snap.

The invoice value of the trees and
shrubs imported through the port of New
York last week was $19,872.

The nurseries at Monroe, Mich., have
had a busy three weeks, the season's
shipments having been the heaviest ever
sent out.

"The Control of Apple Bitter-rot,"
by W, M. Scott, is a bulletin by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture which will
interest nurserymen.

From Coeur d'Alene, Wash., comes
the report that the season 's planting of
fruit trees is five times that of any
previous spring. The demand for cherry
trees could not be supplied.

THE RICHARDSON PEONIES.

It is now over thirty years since I
begaii to study and experiment with
peonies. Great changes have occurred
during this time. Almost all of the best
varieties of that day would now be con-
sidered very common. About twenty-five
years ago the late Charles M. Hovey, of
Boston, one of the foremost horticul-
turists of his time, had a collection of
peonies probably as good as any in the
country. He imported from the best
European nurseries; and some of his va-
rieties were really magnificent. The old
festiva maxima was as good with him
as it has been since; but he had the mis-
fortune which most of us experienced
later, in that he got his varieties badly
mixed; and often plants imported from
different nurserymen, under the same
name, proved to be entirely different
varieties. He imported the variety Mme.
Breon, and we propagated and sold it by
the hundred ; a dark purplish red flower,
a good variety in its way, but not at all
the Mme. Breon of the present day.

About twenty-three years ago John
Richardson, of Dorchester, near Boston,
then a man of more than 80 years, raised
a number of seedling peonies which were
remarkable in that they were for the
most part late, vigorous, free-flowering
and fragrant. All the varieties, with
one or two exceptions, were of a beauti-
ful silvery pink, or varying from flesh
to rose. In 1886 we procured Ihe five
of these varieties which he considered
best; and in thirteen years from one
plant of each we propagated thousands,
which we sold all over this country and
in Europe; and we think that every
plant sold w-as true to name. The va-
rieties obtained from Mr. Eichardson
were Dorchester, Grandiflora, Norfolk,
Perfection and Rubra Superba.

We have been thus particular in re-
gard to the history of the Richardson's
seedlings because certain parties in Eng-
land have listed several of them as their
own seedlings. In justice to Mr. Rich-
ardson, this mistake should be corrected.

Six years ago, on account of ill health,
our entire stock of peonies was sold to a
Chicago party. About that time, how-

ever, my eldest son, George C. Thurlow,
concluded to go into the nursery business
also, and we have been trying ever since
then to get up a stock of the very best
herbaceous peonies to be obtained any-
where. We ordered, generally in small
quantities, from the leading nurseries in
France, England and this country, and
quite largely from Japan. When they
bloomed (in two or three years) we or-
dered more largely of those varieties
which we considered the best for this
section ; but we had the misfortune, in
several importations, to get varieties en-
tirely different from those we ordered,
and, in one instance, to receive a ship-
ment badly mixed.

Our peonies are raised in a very simple
way. Any good loamy land, good enough
for corn or vegetables, we consider good
enough for peonies. We sometimes plow
two furrows deep, and set the plants
quite closely together. Our rule is to
fertilize the land at least one season be-
fore planting the roots; and we never,
under any circumstances, put manure or
other fertilizer directly under or among
the roots at the time of planting. For
light land we consider peat muck, well
exposed and decayed, the very best fer-
tilizer for small peonies or other small
plants. It produces an abundance of
roots, which we consider of more conse-
quence than extra large, often superfiu-
ous, roots. T. C. Thurlow.

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION.

A congressional investigation of the
Department of Agriculture was set in
motion March 27. It was begun in a
conference between Representative Lit-
tlefield, chairman; representatives Davis
and Samuel, members of the House Com-
mittee on Expenditures in the Agricul-
tural Department, on the one hand and
Secretary Wilson, Assistant Secretary
Hays and other officials of the Depart-
ment on the other. At the request of
Chairman Littlefield, Secretary Wilson
will at once forward to the House Com-
mittee a statement giving detailed in-
formation relative to expenditures. This
will be followed by hearings before the
committee, at which Secretary Wilson
and other employees of the Department
will be asked to appear.

ROOTING BEGONIAS.

We have not been very successful in
rooting begonias. Will you please state
the temperature best suited to root them,
both temperature of house and sand?

K.

You should state which species or type
of begonias you are rooting. There is a

wide difference in species. There is the
Rex, or ornamental section; the shrubby,
the tuberous-rooted and the semituberous-
rooted.

If it is the shrubby section, of which
we will take Pres. Carnot and incarnata
as types, then we have found some pecu-
liarities about rooting them. In Janu-
ary, February and March they root fair-
ly well with the sand 65 to 70 degrees
and nearly the same top heat, but if
cooler they root slowly. Then, again, in
April, May and June, when the houses
are quite warm and the temperature of
the sand is on the average less than the
atmosphere, they root quickly and well.

This is contrary to conditions that suit
the great majority of soft-wooded plants
and can only be accounted for by the
supposition that the begonia, being a
tropical plant, or at least sub-tropical,
wants at all times a good genial heat,
which in our greenhouses it often does
not get. W. S.

Chester, Pa. — William Fowler, of
Holly Oak, Del., formerly a resident of
this borough, has purchased land on the
Smedley tract, Morton, where he has
started to break ground for the erection
of eight greenhouses. When the new
houses are completed he will discontinue
his plant in Delaware and remove to
Morton. His brother, Richard Fowler,
of Sharon Hill, will operate the latter
establishment.

TWIN CITIES.

The Easter Trade.

Trade the past week has of course
been good. Easter stock was abundant.
All the growers were successful in get-
ting in their lilies for Easter. The ma-
jority of the stock was good. The in-
ferior stock was disposed of on the street
during the few hours of good weather
which we had Saturday. Azaleas were
handled quite heavily and were disposed
of to good advantage. Spiraeas, rhodo-
dendrons, hybrid roses and hydrangeas
also sold well and one of our largest
dealers was practically out of them by
Thursday. Bulbous stock in pots was
Blow sale and all dealers still have some
on hand. Some choice Easter novelties,
such as violets in fancy baskets, sold
very well.

Cut flowers were in big demand Sat-
urday but from the appearance of the
different stores Sunday morning, all
were not successful in disposing of their
stock. The price on roses was if any-
thing too low. Brides and Maids sold
at $1.50 and $2 per dozen; Kichmonds,
Gates and Killarneys at $2.50. The
advance in prices was indeed small on
everj^ item, possibly on account of there
being large quantities of stock on the
market.

St. PauL

The Swanson Floral Co. put up a very
nice display, and handled a large num-
ber of Easter novelties. The bulb stock
was fine and good sales are reported.

L. L. May & Co. handled a large num-
ber of baskets made up of different
flowering plants, which sold well. J. W.

Hoffman, who has charge of their retail
department, was thoroughly satisfied
and reports a large gain both in the city
and country trade over last year.

C. ¥. Vogt reports a gain over last
season, both on cut flowers and plants.
He had a large number of church orders.

E. F. Lemke disposed of about every-
thing that looked like a flower; his store
Sunday looked as though a cyclone had
struck it.

Holm & Olson had a branch store
which was used entirely for Easter
plants.

Mioneapolis.

Donaldson 's department store, on ac-
count of lack of room, was compelled to
rent an addition in which a grand dis-
play was made. Friday they advertised
spiraeas at 40 cents each, which attract-
ed a large crowd and which no doubt
sold considerable other stock. Balph
Latham said that business was good.

The Rosary reports a good business
but has a grievance against the Greeks,
who are directly opposite and sell at
close figures.

John Monson says everything sold
well and has but a few lilies on hand,
which can be used to good advantage.

Greenfield, Mich. — Thomas Browne
entert.nined the younger members of the
Detroit Florists' Club at cards the other
evening. A very enjoyable social time is
reported.

Caxal Dover, O. — John A. Fox says
that his magenta carnation attracts more
attention than anything else on the place.
It is very prolific, a great keeper and
never bursts. The longer he grows it the
better he thinks of it and says his only
regret is that he has not more stock
of it.

THE YELLOW SEDUM.

Please tell me about propagating and
growing the yellow sedum. J. H. C.

We could speak more definitely if we
knew the species you allude to, Sedum
is a numerous genus with over 100 spe-
cies, many of them yellow. Sedum acre,
the well known stone crop, is one of the
most familiar. It is of creeping habit
and much used for covering bare spots
in cemeteries and for carpet bedding.
Any garden soil will do for it. In fact,
a rather poor stony soil is best, and any-
thing but a wet or damp place in win-
ter. It can be divided in the spring, or
rather small pieces can be taken off
older plants and put into the ground.
If we wanted a large lot of this plant
we should insert small pieces in flats
and when well rooted place the flats in
the cold frame for the winter. They are
mostly all natives of the temperate or
frigid zones.

Years ago we grew a sedum for hang-
ing baskets. We knew it as S. Sieboldii,
but its correct name is Japonicum. There
is also a variegated form of it called
aurea marginata because the variega-
tion is a light yellow. It was propa-
gated in the fall, several cuttings in 3-
inch pots, and then kept at a low tem-
perature during winter and started grow-
ing with heat in April. It also has
yellow flowers. W. S.

Chesire, Conn. — Nettie C. Smith is
doing a nice local trade. Her establish-
ment is not large, and she does all the
growing with one helper for the heavy
work.

I CONSIDER the Review the best in
every respect of any florists' paper; it is
very helpful to me. — J. N. Holland,
Greenville, S. C.

you as it does with us, it will prove the best
white carnation you ever grew. Despite the
variety's apparent failure in several places, we
strongly advise all growers to give it a trial.
We have been frank about its faults as developed
in other places. We doubt if these will develop
in many places.

HARTFORD. CONN.

The regular meeting of the Hartford
Florists' Club took place April 13, Pres-
ident Huss in the chair. Owing to the
rush of work incidental to Easter, the
attendance was not large.

Francis Canning, instructor in horti-
culture at the State Agricultural Col-
lege, Amherst, Mass., was present and
gave an interesting address, explaining
the scope of the curriculum in the vari-
ous branches as taught at Amherst and
compared the methods of imparting in-
struction in this country with those
which generally obtain in Europe. Con-
sidering that at the various State Agri-
cultural Colleges a general education is
given with special training along horti-
cultural or agricultural lines, and that
for many operations the student is paid
a regular wage, the youth of America
has advantages not usually obtainable
in Europe.

Mr. Canning closed his remarks with
the truism that, notwithstanding the fa-
cilities offered to acquire a scientific
training in the several branches, ulti-
mate success still depends on the man
himself. Mr. Canning was awarded a
hearty vote of thanks.

A discussion ensued as to the advis-
ability of amalgamating the Florists'
Club with the Connecticut Horticultural
Society, and this important step will be
considered at future meetings. A. C.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Apuil 19, 1906.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

Bedding stock is being planted out,
including coleus and alternantheras. The
Easter business does not amount to ftiuch
in this section, but there is a great
amount of bedding stock sold. Stock is
looking fine and the indications are that
this will be the banner year on bedding
plants.

Carnations are coming along beauti-
fully since the sun commenced to shine,
but for three weeks things had a gloomy
look. It has l>een impossible for either
farmers or gardeners to get into the field
and it is feared that in. case we have
much more rain the corn will be replaced
by cotton and there will be more cotton
raised than ever has been in the history
of this state.

There has been quite an amount of
funeral work and good prices are real-
ized. It is hard to conjecture Avhat the
amount of business will be here in a
couple of years. It is yet in its infancy.
Texas bids fair to be the coming state
in a floral point of view. Where the
wholesaler ignored this place some couple
of years back and what few came met
with discouragement, today finds almost
every reliable house represented, and all
report good business. Where a few years
ago the grower had but a small house
or two, today the same florist has
four and five houses and even then
hasn't enough room for his stock. Late,
mild winters and early springs give the
grower here the advantage over his
northern brother as far as expense for
fuel is concerned and it will only be a
matter of time when he will get as much
for his stock. Narcissus.

NEW CASTLE, IND.

A single greenhouse thirty feet wide
and four miles long given to growing
roses, with a few carnations, is what will
be seen in this city before the end of
the season, provided one in his mind's
eye places all the houses used for this
purpose end to end. Three of the con-
cerns here have announced that they will
make additions to their plants during the
summer and when they are completed
there will be sixty-seven houses in all,
30x31)0 feet and covering a space of over
600,000 square feet.

The additions consist of three houses
each by William Pittmann, Benthey-
Coatsworth Co. and Weiland & Olinger.

PITTSBUBG.

The Market

Eaater morning found the most tired
lot of boys in the flower shops this city
has ever seen — and they had good cause
to be tired. Notwithstanding that the
"weather was against us, nearly every
shop in the city cleaned up fairly well
and all declare it the best Easter to date.

Undoubtedly plants are growing in
favor with each year, and with good rea-
son, for you can sell a plant for $2 to
$5 that is not only effective and beauti-
ful, but will keep and look well for sev-
eral days, and the regular flower buyers
know this and profit by their knowledge.
However, it does not seem to affect the
cut flower business, as there are a great
number of people who do not belong to
the class of regular flower buyers, but
always show up at the holiday time with
a handful of cards and addresses to
which they wish to send the offering of
the season.

The weather was bad for the growers
until two days before Easter, the result
being a good deal of stock came in late
Saturday, after the trade had been sup-
plied, but nearly everything cleaned up.
Prices were reasonable, nothing being
what you would call high. Bulbous stock
did not seem to find much favor, except
in pots or pans, and is largely dropping
out as cut flowers. Violets were very
fine and cheap, and immense quantities
of them were sold.

There were a great many green hy-
drangeas in evidence and they were still
on hand Monday; plants must have color
to sell.

Again the trade is indebted to the ex-
press companies for the promptness with
which they handled stock. The Adams
detailed several men to the florists' ship-
ments.

The retail stores never had as good
effects in plant baskets as this year, and
they were well repaid for the trouble, as
all were sold.

Mrs. E. A. Williams had the decoration
for the Knights Templar reception at
Duquesne Gardens, April 17. This was
one of the largest affairs held in this
city this year, and the boys were pretty
tired when they started in on the decora-
tions Sunday, but no doubt did them-
selves justice. They also had a large
wedding for the same day. Hoo-Hoo.

does not injure the foliage. It is used either by
dusting or in water by spraying. Also destroys
lice on fowls, cattle and dogs. Kills green fly
on roses and other flowers. Insects on quinces and
pears. Insects that fly like flea beetles and rose

BEST DOUBLE TULIPS.

Murillo is one of the most popular
double tulips, and we now have a fine
yellow variety of this; but it is Couronne
d'Or that is most largely grown, and
perhaps one of the very best tulips we
have. The color varies a little; from
some growers the deep orange has a
bronzy tint, but as generally seen, it is
much of the same shade as a well col-
ored Marechal Niel rose. Couronne des
Boses is very fine. Alba maxima, a good
white. Cramoisie Superb, Bex rubrorum
and Imperator rubrorum are good crim-
son scarlets. Baphael is another good
rose pink variety. Bose Blanche is a good
white. The Tournesols come in early,
but they are too heavy, and do not com-
mand such good prices as others.

It is one of the most important points
to get well matured bulbs for early forc-
ing; and with the best bulbs, much de-
pends upon the treatment. One only has
to go around the market to see the very
great difference in the quality and color
of blooms from different growers. Early
potting, in a compost that is fairly good,
without containing any strong manures;
a good covering of light material to pre-
vent the bulbs starting prematurely, be-
fore they are well rooted; and when
taken in for forcing, avoid giving too
much heat, especially at the start, — Hor-
ticultural Advertiser.

Carbondale, III. — C. C. Lawrence has

The Market.

Everything was ideal for Easter trade.
The weather, the supply of stock and the
quality were the combination by which
the record for Easter sales was broken.
Had growers sent in stock earlier they
would doubtless have fared better. At
the last moment there was a great con-
gestion and average prices were lower
than they would have been could this
have been avoided. Carnations and bul-
bous stock were especially abundant.
Plants were in popular demand and
everything salable found a market. The
supply of lily plants was larger than
last season and demand was fully equal
to supply. Azaleas were somewhat scarce,
as most varieties were in too early. The
mild weather made it difficult to hold
them back.

Various Notes.

In most of the window displays genis-
tas, cyclamens, lilies, rhododendrons,
hydrangeas and bulbous stock in pans
were used and more attention was paid
to trimming plants than in former years.
J. Fox, M. A. McKenney and Currie
Bros, made artistic displays of plants.
Wm. Edlefsen and Mrs. Baumgarten, on
the west side, were also well stocked with
a fine assortment and found good sales.

Peter Kapsalis' glass store next to the
bridge looked gorgeous. Everything ex-
cept the cash taken in could be seen
from the outside, and Peter was busy
counting his money late Saturday night.

Jaa. Chacona, B. Lambros and Mrs.
Ennis made big displays of cut flowers.

Holton & Hunkel Co. had some large
shipments of cut stock from Chicago
growers and also a good line of miscel-
laneous plants from their own green-
houses.

C. C. Pollworth Co. hit the market
just right on lilies. Their cut of roses
and carnations was also heavy.

NEV ORLEANS

Easter in New Orleans is not a day
ou which as many flowers are bought as
in northern cities. The outdoor flowers
at this time are so much advanced in
bloom that everyone has more or less of
a supply for decorations at home or at
church. Still there is certainly an extra
demand for good blooming stock, and
this year seemed to be as good as be-
fore.

Department stores on Canal street are
quite busy now. D. H. Holmes, who had
his plants in charge of H. Papworth,
offered a fine lot of astilbe, of the Glad-
stone variety. The spikes are full and
well developed. They also had fine hy-
drangeas and a general stock of Easter
selling plants. U. J. Virgin, Wm. Eehm,
Chas. Eble and others also had a fine
display in their show cases.

Passing through the garden district a
few days ago, we stopped at P. Chopin 's,
where we learned that he was well satis-
fied. A few blocks from his place we
saw F. Faessel, who was busy erecting
outside raised benches on which he in-
tends growing roses. In the middle of
the city, where the ground cannot be
renewed easily and becomes sour and

other stock on elevated benches seems to

be full of sense and no doubt his experi-
ments will be closely watched by many
florists.

Work is plentiful about private gar-
dens, the scarcity of hands now being
the worst drawback. Outside of the gen-
eral gardeners who follow the business,
some regular florists have also quite im-
portant jobs on hand.

DETROIT.

The Easter Business.

Reports of an exceptionally good Eas-
ter business are beard all over town.
Up to Friday evening the weather was
exceptionally fine and tended to start
the buying earlier than usual. Satur-
day and Sunday we had cloudy weather
with an occasional shower. This hurt
the cut flower sales a great deal.

Violets were exceptionally good for
this season and sold away beyond all ex-
pectations. Roses were also very good,
but did not find a ready market. Carna-
tions showed evidence of pickling, and as
a result did not give satisfaction to cus-
tomers. Lilies, both cut and in pots,
sold very well, as did all potted plants,
especially azaleas, ramblers, lilacs, etc.

Now that Lent is over, parties, recep-
tions, weddings, etc., will have a tendency
to add a little variety to business, as
lately it has all been funeral work.
Stock in general is very good.

Various Notes.

Fred E. Walker, formerly head gar-
dener at the Eastern Michigan Asylum,
and who last summer gained national no-
toriety through being mistreated by offi-
cers of the government at Panama, has
been appointed manager of the Michigan
State Prison farm at Jackson. Mr.
Walker will also have charge of the
' prison greenhouses.

During Easter week E. A. Fetters'
window was very tastefully decorated, an
immense cross of boxwood studded with
lilies and having as a base an assort-
ment of foliage plants, forming a very
pretty background.

Philip Breitmeyer has been appointed
park and boulevard commissioner, to suc-
ceed Robert xj. Bolger. This will place
Mr. Breitmeyer in complete charge of
all the public parks and boulevards in
this city, and with the able assistance of
Wm. Dilger, who is to act as his assist-
ant, our parks, already well known for
their attractiveness, will become doubly
so. At present the new commissioner
will be somewhat handicapped, as the
former one refuses to accept his dis-
charge, as also do some of his subordi-
nates. • H. S.

BoQNE, Ia. — Martin J. Lockard has
branched out in business, has put in a
handsome refrigerator and now carries
a good line of cut flowers.

Johnstown, Pa. — Traugott Malbrane
secured G. A. R. hall for his Easter dis-
play of plants, his store opposite the
City hall being entirely inadequate.

South Bknd, Ixn., April 4, 1904.

"Superior to any Hot Water Boiler we have
ever used. You certainly have placed the right
name to your Boilers; no effort at all to keep
the temperature at desired points when zero
weather comes. Night after night the past se-
vere winter weather gave your Boiler a good test.
We are more than pleased with the Superior
Boiler." Yours truly, Treanor & Rettic.

Easter Trade.

An enormous business was done. Com-
mencing in real earnest Tuesday after-
noon, it culminated in a run of trade
on Saturday that was by far the largest
ever known in this city. Some say it
was a half greater than ever before; but
in this all are agreed, it was far and
away ahead of any previous Easter. The
sale of cut flowers was certainly splen-
did. All day and evening Saturday the
roses and carnations melted away and
when midnight came the ice-boxes were
empty. Carnations were most in demand;
every customer wanted them, and they
went fast. In fact, everything found
buyers and at the usual good Easter
prices. The way flowering plants sold
was simply a revelation to the trade; it
seemed impossible to satisfy the demand
for them. Azaleas, spiraeas, ramblers,
tulips, hyacinths, cinerarias, in fact, any-
thing in good bloom found places at
good prices. It was a great trade, and
the craft is indeed happy. Zero.

Wilmington, Del. — H. H. Potter was
very successful with his Easter crops,
everything being in fine shape, and did
a larger business than ever at this season.

YOUNGSTOWN, 0. — The Lockhart estab-
lishment, of which Geo. McLean is man-
ager, had so large a stock for Easter
that an annex was rented at 12 South
Phelps street.

Denison, Tex. — E. Farley, of the
Denison Greenhouses, says business in
March was nearly three times as heavy
as in that month last year. Stock is in
very good shape.

OSHKOSH, Wis. — The Miles Co. had
good lilies for Easter, and could have
sold more of them in pots. John Nelson
did not have his usual stock of bulbous
stock, hyacinths in particular being too
early. He had a very heavy trade.

Providence, B. I. — On April 5 fire in
the building occupied by T. F. Keller
& Sons did $50,000 damage, the florists
escaping with $1,000 loss, covered by in-
surance. They were compelled to seek a
temporary location for the Easter busi-
ness.

Washington, Pa. — Jos. H. Seaman &
Co. report the Easter business the best
they ever had. Their supply was larger
than ever and they just about cleaned up,
at prices a little better than last year
because of the high quality of stock.
The demand was mostly for flowering
plants.

PRIDE AND
PREJUDICE

THERE ARE NO TWO WORDS THAT
APPLY AS WELL TO SOME GROWERS

Every one of you growers have a great pride in what you grow; it's doubtful if any
profession is as keenly alert to what is doing or as persistently aihbitious for results.
But by the same token the profession has the strongest sort of prejudices. The kind that
frequently leads them to continue erecting houses with cumbersome supports and "old-
timey" gutters or some other equally unfortunate thing — just because there are some few
things about that house they like — they are "used to." When you get so "used to a thing"
that it stands right in the middle of the road of progress, you can depend upon it, your
competitor is from that moment getting away your business, enjoying your profits.

GREAT DISASTER
AT SAN FRANCISCO

^

■JAr^-'i^i^-''^^^

A NATIONAL CALAMITY.

During the past week the daily papers
have devoted so much space to the great
disaster which has overtaken the city of
San Francisco tiiat little of a general
character need be said. No calamity of
like magnitude ever has befallen an
American city. So great a portion of
the city has been destroyed and so many
people driven from their usual walks
that it has been impossible for many in-
terested parties to communicate with
those whom they sought at San Fran-
cisco. The telegraph companies were
badly crippled and the rush of business
has been so great that a telegram for
tJie Eeview filed outside the city on
W-edne^day, April 18, did not reach Chi-
cago until the afternoon of Monday,
April 23.

Without in any way minimizing the
extent of the great and unparalleled dis-
aster it appears that it has lost nothing
in the telling in the newspaper reports.
Many buildings are safe which at first
were reported destroyed. The map
shown on page 1635, this issue, gives an
accurate boundary of the burned dis-
trict. It covers almost all the business
<listrict and most of the better residence
and closely built portion of the city.

The only florist among the known dead
is Frank Parmesia, of Frank & Parodi,
on Geary street, who was struck by a
falling brick. The loss of life princi-
pally was in the picturesque old Mission
<listrict south of Market street, where no
florists either do business or reside. The
deaths were mostly due to the collapse
of buildings during the earthquake.
There were some casualties during the
wild disorder Avhich prevailed when the
imminence of the great conflagration
was seen and before the troops took con-
trol. Not all florists are accounted for,
and many employees still are missing,
but it is thought all escaped with their
lives. ]\[any thousands of people left
the city before tlie fire was under con-
trol and have not yet returned. It will
be a long time before all are accounted
for. Gen. Greely, who has succeeded
Gen. Funston in command of the U. S.
troops, reports to the War Department
April L'4 that the total dead are 277.
The coroner, however, places the number
much higher, saying that 350 bodies
have been buried.' Even the higher figure
is little more than half the deaths in
the Chicago theater fire of 1904.

^loie than half the florists of San
Irancisco were located in the district
^vhich was fire swept. Nearly all were
letailers. The glass is in the outlying
sections and from all reports has sus-
tained little injury. In some cases the
flames crept dangerously near. The fire
i-eached the brow of the great hill above
the big range of Sievers & Co. at 1251
''hestnut street, but the greenhouses
escaped with a little glass liroken.

A large part of the cut flower and
J>lHnt production for the San Francisco
inarkot was carried on ,in greenliouse es-
Jabliahments located in Oakland, Berke-
'<\v and Alameda. These districts did

not suffer to any great extent from the
earthquake and were spared the ravages
of fire. They are, however, left wholly
without a market and advices to hand
state that immense quantities of cut
flowers are being sent to the hospitals
and charitable institutions of the neigh-
borhood, there being no other use for
them.

In the general chaos which still pre-
vails in the business center of San Fran-
cisco it has been impossible to check
up each individual establishment, and it
\s impossible to say just what the loss
is. There are many cases where build-
ings were spared in the center of the
devastated districts and it niay be that
some retail flower stores have escaped
total destruction. A number of the
modern steel buildings are found to have
suffered comparatively little. The Art
Floral Co., owned by Peter Matraia,
was in the Flood building, which sur-

LATEST DETAILS OF LOSSES.

San Francisco, April 21. — The new
ferry building, although slightly out of
plumb, still keeps watch at the foot of
Market street. Smoldering fires can be
seen both at tj^ north and south sides
of ^Market street, and the conflagration
is over only because there is nothing
more to burn. Everything is chaotic.
It is impossible to state fully at this
time of the losses sustained by the
trade.

The magnificent establishments of
Sievers & Boland, Pelicano & Co., Po-
<lesta & Baldocchi were all swept out of
existence early Thursday morning. So
fast did the flames spread in the center
of town that there Avas no chance for
any of the merchants to save anything
in the line of stock or fittings and, with
the onrushing flames and air thick with
smoke and flying cinders no one thought
of anything but the race for life. The
earthquake occurred before six o'clock
and the fire, which started first on Mis-
sion and Third streets, galloped quickly
down toward the water front and then
over in the direction of the Palace
hotel and toward the banking district.
With not a drop of water on hand to
stay the flames the firemen had to de-
pend on dynamiting buildings in the
path of the flames.

As far as 1 have been able to ascer-

vivcd the conflagration, although a part
of its contents was burned.

The rebuilding of the city has already
been undertaken. A new San Francisco
will rise from the ashes of the old town.
It will be a city which will defy another
fire and the flower stores will be models
of their kind. The business was always
prosperous there and it will be more so
in years to come, but for a season there
is no prospect of business, other than
rebuilding, before them.

tain tiiere were no fatalities among the
florists, and for this we should be thank-
ful.

The twenty stores, comprising those
situated in the central portion of town,
were the first to be abandoned, although
rec()r<ls and valualiles were generally
save'!. The three I have first mentioned,
also .Faeger & Co., Geo. B. Jones & Co.,
R|)hraim & Co., Kossi, Rosaia and The
Sutter Street Florists, will have losses
running from $3,000 to $10,000 each.

ThcWeekly FlofiSte' Review.

Apbil 26, 190e.

Pelicano & Co. have been for the past
two weeks fitting up a much larger store
at a cost of $5,000, and this, together
with their fixtures in the older estab-
lishment, are a total loss. Sievers &
Boland had probably the finest equipped
store in the city and their windows for
years have been one of the sights of the
town. Their loss will probably be larger
than that of the other retailers. Ephraim
& Co., just above Sievers & Boland 's
big store, shared a like fate. Podesta &
Baldocchi, Jaeger & Co., Geo. B. Jones
& Co., and The Sutter Street Florists,
situated in one block on Sutter street,
did not long survive the Post street
stores.

Geary street was next attacked and
Bosaia and Eossi each will lose at least
$10,000. The Misses Worn lost their
entire equipment.

The fire did not reach Fourth street
until the latter part of Wednesday after-
noon, and Dominic & Co. and the Fourth
Street Florists will probably lose from
$3,000 to $4,000 each. In spite of every
effort the Palace hotel, one of the most

longings little was saved. When it is
taken into consideration that almost all
the wagons in town had been pressed into
service to carry the sick from the hospitals
and when $50 an hour was demanded by
the ordinary expressman, it is easy to
understand why bo little was saved.

Frank Shibeley and A. Mann, Jr.,
had the biggest losses on Polk street.
Miss Rose Mann, Jaccard & Co. and
Wallenberg & Daley were also wiped
out. Over in the direction of Telegraph
hill all the Italian retailers were anni-
hilated.

Among the seedsmen the Cox Seed
Co. sustained a loss of $100,000; Trum-
bull & Beebe, several doors below, $15,-
000, and Thomas Meherin, 516 Battery
street, about $5,000. Lilly & Co., on
Market street, sustained a loss of about
$15,000. It is reported that the loss of
C. C. Morse & Co., at the old Bowen
stand, is $100,000.

Over across the bay, where the earth-
quake was fully as severe as in San
Francisco, but was not followed by fire,
the losses were merely from broken glass.

The Region of The Golden Gate.

Many of the largest producing establishments for the San Francisco
Market are at Oakj[and, Berkeley and Alameda and are safe.

The great seed growing district of the Santa Clara Valley is shown
at the lower right comer of the map.

famous in the world, went down and
with it Thos. H. Stevenson 's establish-
ment.

Out on Larkin and Polk streets the
retailers had plenty of time to get
oway, but save for a few personal be-

ll. M. Sanborn lost a large show win-
dow and his store-rooms were wrecked
by a huge chimney toppling over. Gill 's
Floral Depot, situated directly opposite,
lost a portion of the conservatory from
a falling chimney. Otherwise the dealers

were very fortunate. Strange to say I
have yet to meet any grower who com-
plains of loss of glass from the earth-
quake. It is always occasioned by fall-
ing chimneys.

The florists from San Francisco are
scattered all over the country. A few
are stopping in town, but from what I
have heard at least nine-tenths of them
have lost their homes as well as their
stores, and they have joined the march
with the other thousands of homeless
people whose only safety was in flight.

Already from the wholesalers the cry
is going up : " What will we do with our
flowers?" And this is a very pertinent
query at this time. I think it is safe
to estimate that at least 3,000 dozen of
carnations are cut daily in Alameda
county alone. Fully as many more come
from San Mateo county, to say noth-
ing about roses, lilies and other stock.
San Francisco uses nine-tenths of this
stock and San Francisco will not be able
to use more than a fraction of the quan-
tity produced for the next six months
at least. What will the growers do?
The surrounding towns are amply sup-
plied by their local growers.

To sum up, I figure that the direct
losses to the florists are $750,000, with
a third covered by insurance. G.

QUAKE DOWN THE COAST.

SoQUEL, Cal., April 18. — The earth-
quake at 5:20 this morning gave us the
shake-up of our lives, but none of us
was injured. A good deal of the furni-
ture was damaged ; almost all the pictures
and dishes are broken, the. stove upset
and the place looked as though a cyclone
had passed through. We had to break in
the upper panels of the door to get
Helene out of her room. The door had been
slammed shut and several hundred
pounds of books piled against it. One
of our cottages was thrown from its
underpinning and tipped to one side. I
haven 't ventured inside, as we are still
having slight tremors, any of which may
bring it down, but 1 expect the con-
tents is pretty well wrecked.

G. L. Grant.

Tt is apparent that at the time the
above was written Mr. Grant had no ,
idea of the calamity which had'followed
the quake at San Francisco, eighty miles
away. At San Jose and Santa Clara,
the seed growing centers, twenty miles
or so west of Sequel, buildings were
thrown down and several lives lost. At
Santa Cruz, six miles from Soquel, the
quake wrecked several buildings, includ-
ing the court house, in which Mr. Gra^t 's
son-in-law had his office.

BELGIAN JUSTICE.

A well-known English amateur pur-
chased in 1904 five orchids from a Bel-
gian firm at a high price, £1,200. The
orchids were not in flower at the time
of purchase, but the transaction was car-
ried out on the strength of some col-
ored illustrations which, it is alleged,
purported to be correct representations.
When the orchids flowered, however, it
was seen that the blooms were not so
fine as those represented in the plate.
The purchaser thereupon took steps be-
fore the Tribunal of Commerce of Brus-
sels to have the contract of sale an-
nulled. The court took the opinion of
sundry experts, all well-known Belgian
orchid growers. The result was in favor
of the plaintiff purchaser, who is to be
reimbursed £1,200 as well as a further
sum of £120 for interest.

Bays and Box.

There are several plants that endure
a few .lej^rees of frost and are, perhaps,
occupying space in tlie greenhouse
which you sorely need. Among these
could lie nu'utioned large pots or tubs of
agapantiuis, .sweet bays, tree box and
hydrang.^as. It is not only a relief to
get tiieni outdoors, but it is far l)etter
for them. The agapanthus is not hurt
by a few degrees of frost, and unless
my memory misleads me, it is hardy in
the south of England. The tree ' box
is almost hardy in our state, if planteil
out. There will be no frost after this
to hurt a bay tree.

When these are making their growth
in the spring is the time to pinch the
young shoots lo keep them in the ideal
form they reach us from Europe. Few
of US can keep these ornamental ever-
greens in the splendid form and deep
green color that they possess when first
imported. Form is maintained by pinch-
ing in their growing season and health
and vigor sustained by protecting their
roots from continual drying out, and
from starvation by copious applications
of the strongest liquid manure.

For six weeks there is no need of sink-
ing the tubs in the ground, but by the
middle of June this should be done.
They ha\e a much better appearance, ap-
pearing to be naturally growing, which
the sight of the tubs dis^pels, and it saves
the roots from a daily drying out.

Hydrangeas.

Hydrangeas, even if kept all winter at
about the freezing point, will, under the
influence of the warm days Of .March,
start to grow, and more "care imist be
taken with them, for the young siioots
are as tender as bleached j."ea-kale. Yet
the sooner they can get the open air and
light the better. We have had many
iiydrangeas ba.uy injured by a few de-
grees of frost, even in May, but that
tvas tiiroiigh carelessness, for any even-
ing when there are forebodings of frost
it would take but a few minutes to lav
these j)lants on their sides and tlirow
over the:n some -sheets or blankets.

Aquatics.

There are few features more attractive
than a pool of aquatics in a pretty gar-
<len, and yet how seldom tiiey are seen.
.\ tank built of masonry and" lined with
'•ement is expensive and is never so at-
tractive or natural as an excavation with
the water a few inches below the level
of the surroun<!ing lawn. The facility
for constructing such a pool that will
hohl water fairly well will <lei»end on the
nature()f the subsoil. If the subsoil is
day. little nore is needed than to exca-
vate two feet and quite thinly "puddle"
the Imttom and si<les of the excavation.
Hut if the subsoil is gravel, then the
whole face of the excavation will need
three or four inches of puddled clav,
then eight or nine inches of heavy clay
loam, with a third of manure. There is
nothing better than cow manure, and lots
of it will grow ;;ny of the nympliivas to

perfection. They are the queens of the
is j)lenty of room and a suitable soil, in
When you lie on the bank of a
nympha'a pool, accompanied by a "two-
for-a-quarter " and watch the golden
caip darting among the placid leaves,
and the frogs jumping at gnats and
ilragonflies and otner prey, you will for-
get your debts an<l forgive your debtors.
You will bowl 210, beat Mr. Smith, of
Richmond, Va., at clay targets, think of
sweet ones far away, and do all sor<:s
of beautiful things in your miad. Such
is the influence of the water garden on
an imaginative ufture.

Plants and Profit.

If good, strong plants of nympha^as
are procured and planted by the middle
of May. you will get flowers in abun-
dance by July and on until frost, or
until nature says it is ti:ne to hibernate.

If you do jiot have tiin^^^in busy
spring to make^tiie-4iool, tlien it can be
made during iidmmer anti^lanted at any
time from May to September. What 1
know of the Vijltivation of water plants
in America wa^^-4aught me by Wm.
Tricker, author of the "Water Garden."

I have often thought that, where there
is plenty of room and a suitable soil, in
many cases it would pay the commercial
florist to make so:ne ponds for the culti-
vation of the nympha'B. [f the flowers
cut and sohl did not yield 100 per cent
profit, tliey would be a great attraction

to bring visitors to his place. The so-
called hardy nymphaias must have no
frost touch their roots. The water above
them may be solid ice for eighteen
inches, but if there is three inches of
water between the ice and the crowns of
the plants they are all right. The tender
or exotic species do splendidly in our
warm summers, but must be taken up
and the roots kept warm but moist dur-
ing winter.

At the Pan-American,

In the several acres we had at the
Pan-American Exposition they were
planted at many different times during
tlie previous summer. When fall came,
word was sent me that the canals would
be drainetl to make further improve-
ments. Thi.s was sad news to nie, as I
thought of the fate of Henry A. Dreer's
expensive exhibit and the great expense
of making the pools; but we took cour-
age and bought many wagon-loads of
leaves and put on the soil at least a foot
of dry leaves, and on those another foot
of evergreen boughs. It was great ex-
pense removing all this stuff in the
spring, but when the canals were again
filled with water and our little bays and
inlets containing the nympha?as were
covered with a foot of water there soon
appeare<l the green and bronze leaves
and by midsunmcr they were a solid
mass.

The great essential to grow nympha?as
is nearly a foot of rich, heavy loam or
clay. Plant at the start three to four
feet apart, and during the summer let
there be eighteen inches of water. The
bays and quiet nooks of the rushing
Niagara river are full of the common
white nympha'a, N. tuberosa. and per-
haps our people do not appreciate these
lovely flowers as would the people of
Colorado and other western states tu\
from the grand sweep of majestic rivers.

powerful things in the world were the
Mississippi river and the London Times.
I differ from the immortal man. The
Times is ponderously heavy and it takes
the mind of a Herbert Spencer or Emer-
son to be moved by it, and the Missis-
sippi river as seen at St. Louis is slug-
gish, dirty, slimy and terribly disap-
pointing after an acquaintance with the
Hudson or Niagara. Half a century be-
fore we saw the ^lississippi we were
familiar with the words of Dibden, the
great song writer:

To the West, to the West.

To the land of the free.

Where the mighty Missouri rolls down to the

sea;
Where a man is a man. if he's willing to toll.
And the humblest may gather the fruits of the

soil.

All very beautiful and prophetic, and
the old river makes up by its commerce
for its pea-soup constitution.

The Best Nymphaeas.

Here are a few of the most free-grow-
ing and flowering of the hardy
nymphaeas: N. Marliacea albida, large
white; N. Marliacea chromatella, yel-
low; X. Marliacea rosea, fine pink; X.
odorata, fragrant white; X. alba candi-
•lissima, strong, free white; X. Layde-
keri lilacea, rosy lilac; X". odorata rosea,
Cape Cod pond lily; X. odorata sul-
phurea, yellow, very fragrant, and many
other beautiful hybrids.

i^ome of the tropical species and vari-
eties are night blooming, but most of
ilie:n remain open until 10 a. m. They
•Te as easilj' grown as the hardy species,
but must be lifted and stored in a me-
dium temperature in winter and cannot
■'C put into the ponds quite so early or
until the water is warm. Some of the
finest tender day-flowering sorts are:
^'. cjprulea, large, blue flowers; pulcher-
Jinia, light blue, very large; X. Zanzi-
bariensis, dark blue, magnificent ; X. gra-
'^ilis, the only w hite tender nympha-a ;
-^- Mrs. C". \V. Ward, deep rosy pink.

Where the lily pond is entirelv for
ornament, with no view to profit," then
many smaller-growing aquatic plants can
'-»e planted near the margin of the ponds.

but these are outside of the province of
the commercial florist, and a selection
can be made by referring to the cata-
logues of nurserymen who make a spe-
cialty of water plants.

Cosmos.

Thei'e is no more beautiful autumn
flower than the graceful cosmos, but,
alas, our northern frosts cut it down
before it has developed its full beauty.
Our best customers are always asking
for cosmos when we have only frozen
foliage to show them. If you think it is
not profitable it can be made so by sim-
ply charging a good price, and if I were
young again I w^ould have lots of cosmos
to sell during the month of October.
1 would sow it now.

Perhaps it should have been sown ear-
lier by two weeks. Give the plants from
their infancy the fullest light, to induce
a strong growth. At the end of May
make some rough boxes, say about two
feet long, ten inches wide and five
inches deep, and fill with good, fresh
loam, moderately enriched. Plant half
a dozen of the seedlings in each box,
and after protection from cold winds
or scorching sun for a few days, ])ut
the boxes outside within convenient
reach of the hose and do not neglect
them.

At the end of September, when if
planted out they perish in a night, re-
move the boxes to the houses, where
they will go on flowering for a month.
There is no need of putting thein on a
bench. There are many places you can
set these boxes, at the ends of hcuises,
beneath the high gutters of modern
houses, and many places which will sug-
gest themselves to you if the microbes
of the grey matter are working in iiealtli
and activity.

This advice is not needed for a Balti-
more florist, for dahlias flower there to
the month of Xovember. liut it 's a sug-
gestion for florists of Dawson (-ity and
many points not so remote.

Eschscholzia.

Many of our people wlio travel are

charmed with the California poppy.
Poor California's building-covered acres
have crumbled into tlust, but the golden-
cupped poppy will be up and smiling as
usual very soon, regardless of calamity.
Tlie name of the California poppy is
eschscholzia, and the rich yellow species
is E. aurantiaca. It is the easiest to
grow of all annuals. Sow a row in a
shallow drill across the garden and you
will pick flowers from June to frost.

Valley in Frames.

If you are lucky enough to have a bed
of lily of the valley protected by a cold
frame you should cover it with sash by
the first of ^lay. You will get them in
flower a week before the uncovered and
of infinitely better quality. Water copi-
ously until the bells are turning white
anil shade two weeks before you expect
them in flower, and you will get valley
almost as large as the Ohio valley or the
Yosemite!

Cyclamen.

I notice the cyclamens that were trans-
planted from seed flats to other flats
eigiit weeks ago are crowding and have
formed little corms almost as large as
a crocus. They should now go into
."Viuch pots. A fresh, sifted loam two
I)arts with another of real leaf-mold and
a fourth of well-rotted cow manure
•would be an ideal mixture for them.
Don't be afraid to bury the bulb or
corm with its top even with the surface
of the soil. They will soon elevate
themselves when they get hold of the
new soil.

Cyclamens transplant readily as young
plants. They want little shade, but are
benefited by a light shading in the hot-
test hours of the day. While a cutting
draugiit is not good for them, or any
other plant, they want ventilation in
abundance on all warm days. They
sliould never be allowed to suffer for
water and greatly enjoy a light syringing
on all fine mornings. Whether you in-
tend to grow them in a house or frame,
there is time to think it over, because

The Weekly Florists' Review*

April 26, 1906.

seed will likely be dear at any price.
-^ It should be understood that this
strain of sweet peas is not generally
recommended for outdoor culture. One
of the new types, a red one named Mrs.
Wild, does finely, but speaking generally
the colors are too delicate for our hot
summer days. Mr. Zvolanek recom-
mends that the white-seeded varieties be
sown in sand and then transplanted,
even when grown under glass, but per-
sonally I have had no trouble with
germination.

These flowers are now a staple article
in New York market, from December
onward, and while there is ready call
for all the white and light colors, the
call for dark blue is only moderate until
the end of March or so, after which
time it sells as well as the others.

The illustration on the preceding page
was taken in the houses of Robert D.
Foote, of Morristown, X. J., R. Vince,
gardener, on December 21. The seed was
sown September 1, and the picture
gives but a faint idea of the quantity
of bloom showing at the time. It is
the Christmas Pink variety, and struck
me as being one of the most beautiful
sights I ever saw.

Mr, Zvolanek says now he is merely
crossing for size, as he already has all
the colors and the stem is ample. Sev-
eral plants had flowers with double
standards, and if this could be fixed
it will almost double the size of the
flowers. I do not tiiink that the end is
yet, by any means, and that a few years
more will show some grand things
brought out in these winter flowering
peas. Charles H. Totty.

appropriated by the various growers,
although there will be provided more
than half as many more stands as in
the old market. This extension is at
the junction of Russell street with Well-
ington street, running down to the main
entrance of the existing market in Well-
ington street. Our American friends
who have paid a visit to London will
no doubt be able to easily locate the
position of the new portion.

In the cut flower market, trade has
shown a considerable improvement, prob-
ably on account of quantities arriving
being much less. It is /eally just be-
tween seasons, and good bulb bloom is
rather scarce. It makes good business
for outdoor stuff, and the Lincolnshire
growers have cause to congratulate
themselves.

The lily of the valley trade has not
yet recovered from its recent long
slunif), although this week will prob-
ably see the last of the forced fresh
crowns, when prices will rapidly ad-
vance. For a wonder London has been
much lower for this line than most pro-
vincial markets.

I have noticed during the last year
or so how colored foliage has been ap-
preciated, both in London and else-
where. Even the reddish tops of rose
shoots have found a ready sale. Col-
ored beech leaves, tinted ivy, hydrangea
and different kinds of cupressus, etc.,
have all experienced a brisk demand at
remunerative prices. Of course, the
colored foliage of these hardy subjects,
is only obtainable in the autumn, but
tinted rose foliage may easily be ob-
tained in the early spring, and would

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

For a long time the various stand-
holders in Covent Garden market have
been hampered through insufficient
room and many new growers have had
to wait a long time before they could
occupy a stand, there not being one
vacant. To meet this want an exten-
sion has been in course of building for
some time, and a portion is now so far
completed as to be opened for use some
few days ago. I am informed the whole
of the new stands have been eagerly

pay well. I have often heard the re-
mark among experienced growers that
it is difficult to obtain, but from my
observation it consists of little more
than getting the growths under glass
and afterwards putting them outdoors,
exposed to slight frosty nights.

Violets have been benefited to some
extent by the prevailing fashion in
colors. In some districts these are
grown by the ten acres, and the grow-
ers have had good business. The Czar,
Princess of Wales and Avelyn are the

principal sorts grown. The Czar is still
the very best for continuous bloom and
sweet scent. It was thought La France
would be a leading variety, but it is
too big for market violet. Its immense
size has occasioned the remark : ' ' When
is a violet not a violet? When it's as
big as a pansy. " If a violet is too
big it loses its character and the public
has not the same sentiment for these
big florists ' varieties. J. B.

CHICAGaS VETERAN.

The many friends of Edgar Sanders
will take pleasure in the accompanying
portraits of Chicago 's oldest florist, and
his youngest grandson. The photograph
was taken last summer, while his daugh-
ter, Mrs. William E. Spon, of Bayonne,
N. J., and her son Francis were visiting
at Chicago. The scene is Mr. Sanders'
porch at 1639 Belmont avenue. To the
craft it will be good news that Mr. San-
ders is in health to enjoy the sunset of
a long life full of kindly thought for
others.

V^etable Forcing.

VEGETABLE MARKETS.

Chicago, April 25. — Cucumbers, 40c to
80c doz. ; 1-3 bu. boxes, $1.50 to $2;
lettuce, heads, $1.50 to $3 bbl.; leaf, 25e
to 30c case; mushrooms, 35c to 40c lb.

CHARCOAL SCREENINGS.

In the Revieav of April 19 I note what
Mr. Croydon says about hot-house grapes
and the best way to feed them. At New
Hamburg, N. Y., they are using
charcoal screenings to advantage and
as they have repeated a large order
it must give satisfaction. They say
that it saves the sourness caused
by late feeding and is even better in
some ways than the wood ashes that
were formerly used. E. V. Sidell.

LETTUCE.

If the last crop of the season is just
about completed and those in the cold
frame almost ready to cut, the conditions
for a continuous supply will be all right.
Where cold frames are not depended on
so much, another crop in the greenhouse
will have to be under way to keep up
the supply to meet the first outdoor crop.
Some of the larger growers do not
trouble much with cold frames, but with
us the cold frame crops are the most sat-
isfactory of the season. True, the earlier
crop for some time after planting re-
quires a good deal of attention in regard
to covering and protecting during cold
spells, but once the warm spring weather
sets in this trouble is reduced to a
minimum and the plants seem to grow
along without any trouble. We have

never had a case of disease in the
frames. ThiSxin itself is a strong argu-
ment in favor of frame culture.

Plants intended for subsequent plant-
ing in the open ground should have at-
tention in regard to hardening off be-
fore the time of setting out arrives.
This time differs considerably with the
locality. "We can usually trust them
outdoors after the first of May. Even
then the temperature will sometimes run
a little below the freezing point, but if
not too severe a little frost will not do
much harm, provided the plants are well
hardened off. If protection can be given
during cold nights they could be set in
the open ground even earlier than this,
but where large plantings are made,
covering is hardly practicable. Two
good varieties, the two best we have
tried, are Boston Market and Big Bos-
ton. Hardiness is .one of their strong
points, but the quality and flavor are
also there.

Radishes are another very satisfac-
tory frame crop. We now are pulling
from the frames and have made preparar
tions for & continuous supply up to the
time the .'outdoor crops can be ielied
on. A sowing has already been made
in the open and are just breaking
through the gronnd, but it is only a
chance whether we get a satisfactory
crop, as the earliest outdoor crop often
is seriously checked by late frosts. "We
continue to sow every week, however,
and catch ' the season as it comes.

TAR PAPER AND MUSHROOMS.

I noticed in a recent issue Mr. Lam-
bert's letter referring to the use of
tarred pslper for roofing mushroom
houses. May I give my experie-nce in the
use of tarred paper? I have two beds
over my boiler room. The floor under,

and the sides of the beds, are lined with
tarred paper to prevent dripping into
the room beneath. From one bed
spawned January 25 I have gathered
nearly a pound of mushrooms per square
foot. I leave it to those who have had
experience in spawning beds in winter to
decide if this is not a fair crop for
this season. I might also say that I
have grown tons of mushrooms in houses
that have been tarred inside.

Charles Elliott.

NEWPORT HORTICULTURE.

Newport, B. I., has been the scene of
some of the most pretentious landscape
work done in this country in the past
few years. Wadley Sf Smythe have done
much work on the estates of millionaires,
among their best things being the court
shown in the accompanying illustration,
photographed at the estate of Mrs. Rich-
ard Gambrill. This is a formal garden
in front of a marble terrace, a repro-
duction of the famous garden at Hamp-
ton Court, London. The fountain is in
the center of a sunken area, while the
screen of native cedars in the distance
separates the garden from the avenue.
The color shown at the base of the screen
is a border of anemones. The garden it-
self has a double terrace, with a depth
of three feet ten inches. Statuary and
specimen bay trees add much to the ef-
fectiveness.

With the
Advertising Man

Once more I say, "The object of ad-
vertising, is .selling goods," and any
idea or method that does this profitably
is a form of good advertising.

Now, here is an idea that will sell
goods for you at a handsome profit and
at the same time will get rid of odds
and ends of plants and flowers which
might otherwise be a loss.

Offer to supply your customers with a
box of flowers or plants each week, or
every other week, at a stated price of
50 cents, 75 cents, or $1 and upwards,
according to circumstances.

We find this very profitable, for it
insures a definite amount of business,
and in nine cases out of ten will use
up odd lots of roses or carnations. If
the people get tired of flowers, give
them plants.

The most popular assortment seems
to be mixed boxes containing violets,
roses, a few carnations, etc., as it gives
a greater variety.

We also make a practice of inform-
ing our customers in advance of higher
prices at Easter and other holidays,
and upon request discontinue their con-
tract for two weeks previous to these
holidays, so they will get something
worth while on a holiday.

If you will think this matter over
carefully you will see that it presents
unlimited possibilities and you will be
surprised, not only at what yoilt'-can do
for a stated amount, but at the number
of people who will go in on this that
would never think of coming near your
place of business. I know that this idea
will pay you because it pays us and is
one of our most profitable sources of
' revenue. Billy Van.

RICHMOND, IND.

The Palladium says that probably the
largest business loser in this city as a
result of the San Francisco disaster will
be the E. G. Hill Co., as that firm had
a large trade with the florists of the
coast. Rose and carnation plants were

brought here at wholesale from the local
company, and shipped west to be grown
for the retail business. California, in
the vicinity of San Francisco, took a
large percentage of the output of the
local concern, and there will now be a
noticeable decrease in the western busi-
ness.

Mr. Hill said last night that in order
to help the western people, accounts
which are owed the local concern will
be discontinued, so that the western firms
may start over again free from debt.

BUFFALO.

Easter Aftermath.

Further knowledge of the Easter busi-
ness confirms the figures reported last
week, that the aggregate of business
was at least ten per cent ahead of any
previous year. A few said : ' ' Oh, my
business nearly doubled. ' ' Another
said : "I did at least twenty per cent
more than last year." These are ex-
ceptions. People who only started their
houses or opened their store a year or
two ago are where a substantial increase
would naturally be expected. Firms of
long standing, who had years ago appar-
ently reached the zenith, could not look
for such a relative increase. The result
is most gratifying and we can congratu-
late ourselves that we are in such a
healthy, prosperous business and con-
servative with all. It comes pretty near
being like Portia's immortal plea for
mercy. Our products are twice blessed.
It blesses him who giveth and her that
receiveth. It becomes the dude better
than his cane, ' ' It f alleth on the gentle
maid and maketh her heart melt toward
you. ' '

It will be noticed by the most illiter-
ate that I have not stuck closely to the
text of Shakespeare, but what matters;
it's unpopular to be conventional.

I must again repeat that the demand
for violets was the phenomenal feature
of Easter.

In plants there is always room for
novelties and you should endeavor to in-
troduce something others do not grow.
One florist said he could not sell daisies.
If we could get Queen Alexandra in as
good shape as we can three weeks later,
it would be one of the best sellers, and
we think it would not be much trouble
to do that. We used to grow spiraeas,
the old Japonica, and 50 cents and 75
cents was all we could realize for them.
We believe it was unprofitable at those
figures. This year we put two clumps
of the Gladstone variety into a 7-inch
pot and sold many at $2.50 each. They
looked worth it.

The Crimson Bambler, great as it was
for several years, has had its day and
you should at once produce Lady Gay
rambler. Get dormant plants at once,
pot them after cutting them back to
within a few eyes and you will have a
fuller, larger and much more free flower-
ing plant next spring than any Crim-
son Bambler, either grown in the field
or in pots.

Of all the varieties of azaleas we
handled there was none which sold as
well as John Llewelyn, a soft, beauti-
ful Enchantress pink. It flowers in pro-
fusion the first spring after importing.
I know nothing about its adaptability
for Christmas flowering, but don't for-
get it when you give your order to the
wholesale firm or the perpetually smil-
ing drummer.

We have just enjoyed a visit from

W. T. Bell, of Franklin, Pa. Mr. Bell
is a very successful florist in a city and
locality where great deeds are not easy
of achievement. Mr. Bell will only have
contempt for fulsome praise of his char-
acter, but he is not an ordinary florist.
He is a proficient botanist, entomologist,
geologist, and several other ologists, and
with all a philosopher. You may think
he is reserved and cynical. He is the
reverse when he meets the genial spirit.
It is no flattery to Mr. Bell when I
say that he is one of the few men I
know familiarly who make me very
careful of remarks made in their pres-
ence. Pity it is that such men do not
take more interest in the councils of our
National Society. W. S.

TWIN CITIES.

The Market*

Business the past week has been fair.
Some stores have made a large number
of designs, but the most of them have
had only a steady trade which is prefer-
able to an Easter rush. The general
opinion seems to be that Easter does not
always bring the profits anticipated,
when the extra expense, trouble, etc., is
taken into consideration. The green-
house man, of course, reaps the benefit
if he is able to dispose of all he grows,
but, on the other hand, if he is com-
pelled to carry much stock over it eats
into the profits materially. What we all
want is a steady trade and a steady
profit.

Stock is now back to a normal state
and the growers are getting ready for
their planting trade. Considerable
stock is being grown.

St.PauL

Otto Hiersekorn reports a good busi-
ness and believes that he would be just
as well off without any Easter rush.
He is making ready for his plant trade.
His greenhouse, which is attached to his
store, will no doubt come in handy in
the way of handling flowering stock.

Aug. S; Swanson has a fine display
of his new rose, Minnetonka. He has a
large number of them in pots, which ap-
pear to sell well. He reports a favor-
able Easter trade.

Vogt Bros, report a much better busi-
ness in their new location.

L. L. May & Co. have had a good
trade, having turned out considerable
funeral work the past week. Their
counter trade also has been good. Stock
with them has been plentiful. Their
Easter shipping trade was unusually
heavy. :

Holm & Olson disposed of c(^nsider-
able stock, but all dealers carried over a
number of lilies.

We sympathize with S. D. D^singer,
whose wife died last Sunday at their
home in Chicago.

Minneapolis.

Eice Bros, report a large wholesale
business, their stock going mostly into
the small towns, from which the demand
seemed to be very heavy.

James Souden says Easter trade was
fine and in their two stores they un-
doubtedly unloaded considerable stock.
Business the past week was fair and
stock plentiful.

The Rosary says that business has
been very fair and that they have had
no difficulty in getting plenty of stock.

Ralph Latham has been doing very
nicely. Being out of the high rent dis-
trict is imdoubtedly profitable, as his
trade seems to have followed him.

A FLOWER BOOTH.

The accompanying illustration shows
Mrs. M. E. Hollcraft's booth at the mid-
winter fair held at Topeka, Kan. This
was one of the handsomest booths at the
fair and was always the center of an
admiring group. Mrs. HoUcraft con-
ducts one of the leading flower stores in
Topeka, and is one of the most pro-
gressive members of the craft.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The market has been depressed since
the days immediately following Easter.
The supply of cut flowers has increased,
while the demand is weak and irregu-
lar. A good many flowers are sold at
very uncertain prices. American Beau-
ties and sweet peas are perhaps the
strongest varieties in point of demand.
While the prices on these flowers are
low, they nearly all find a market, which
is more than can be said of almost any-
thing else, excepting possibly Easter
lilies, which, owing to the weddings,
are higher in price than is usual ten
days after Easter. Violets are also in
fair demand, with indications that they
will last out the month. It is only fair
to add to last week's Easter report that
the average price realized for violets is
hardly up to former years, due partly
to the poor condition in which some of
the flowers reached this city and partly
to a rainy Easter morning.

Several new things are seen this week.
The Leo Niessen Co. has gladioli, indoor-
grown, of course, and southern lilacs. S.
S, Pennock has Spanish iris, white, yel-
low and purple, while the Flower Market
received its first shipments of Camper-
nelles from Thos. J. Oberlin, of Sinking
Springs, Pa.

Lytmwood.

The country place of P. A. B. Widener
at Ogontz, Pa., covers sixty acres lying
west of the York road and on both sides
of Ashbourne avenue. On the north of
this road are the mansion, stables, and
immense tract of lawn. On the south
are the gardens and greenhouses. Over
all this domain "William Kleinheinz rules.

The greenhouses, comprising 60,000
square feet of glass, are of more than
■ordinary interest, deserving special de-
•Bcription. There are eleven of them,
nearly half having been added to the
plant last summer. All are well built,
light and airy, filled with the finest
stock. The houses devoted to cut flowers
are filled with roses, carnations and
sweet peas.

Of the roses, one whole house is de-
votea to American Beauties in solid
beds, which have done well. One-
half will be carried over. Another
house is planted with tea and hybrid tea
roses, Bride, Bridesmaid, Golden Gate,
Shellem's Seedling (now named Wm.
E. Smith), a strong grower, but hardly
free blooming enough in winter for cut
flower purposes; Liberty, Eichmond,
Kaiserin and Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan,
a rose now rarely seen, but considered by
Mr. Kleinheinz as indispensable. It is
free blooming, lasting, and of good size
and substance. These roses, with the ex-
ception of Liberty, are planted on tile
benches and have made excellent growth.
Another house is devoted to hybrid roses
in solid beds, one section being in full
■crop, while another was just finished.
These plants were the picture of health.
They have been in the beds seven years,
are pruned, tied down and top-dressed
each year and are now as vigorous and
prolific as ever. The varieties included
such old favorites as Merveille de Lyon,
Mrs. John Laing, Mme. Gabriel Luizet,
Baroness Eothschild, Magna Charta, Ul-
rich Brunner, Capt. Christy and others.

The carnations, for which the place is
famous, are still a sight, despite the mild
weather of last week. The houses are
«o light that they are shaded at this

season. The plants are strong and the
flowers still of great size. Lady Bounti-
ful, winner of the silver cup at Boston,
is in fine form. Mrs. Lawson, White
Lawson, Flamingo and Harlowarden are
all in fine form. Mrs. M. A. Patten is
so highly colored as to resemble Pros-
perity. The young stock is all potted
and in thrifty condition.

A section of one house is devoted to
sweet peas, the early varieties being
nearly over and the later ones just com-
ing into bloom, with large flowers borne
on long stems. Chrysanthemums of all
the best new and old varieties are now
in 4-inch pots, making nice growth that

I can scarcely tell you how much

has been to me. It has shown me
where to buy the stock I need;

also the many hints and cultural di-
rections have been worth many times
the subscription price.

promises results at the exhibition next
fall. A block of gardenias in large pots
is just coming into bloom.

The new palm house erected by Lord
& Burnham Co. last summer is a very
fine affair. It measures about 30x134,
and is without a single roof support.
The quantity of large palms used in
decorating the mansion runs up into the
hundreds each year, taxing the resources
of this house to the utmost. Adiantum
cuneatum is given considerable space,
some of the specimens being very fine.
Crotous are also grown in quantity.

Among the bedding plants the Golden
Verschaffeltii coleus is grown in prefer-
ence to Golden Bedder, which Mr. Klein-
heinz believes too susceptible to mealy
bug. Abutilon Savitzii is highly prized
for its beautiful white foliage, despite
the difficulty of propagating early.
Easter plants are practically over so
far as the greenhouses are concerned, but
the remains of some fine primulas and
spiraeas were on the benches.

There is a wealth of orchids. One
house is devoted entirely to these trop-
ical beauties. Cattleyas are largely in
evidence. Much of the stock was im-
ported last September. All of it is in
prime condition. C. TriansB is out of
flower. One or two blooms of C. labiata
were seen. C. Mossiae was a little more
plentiful. C. Schroederae was at its best,
the full white flowers contrasting beau-
tifully with the richer colors of the
other varieties.

Three large fruit houses, running at
right angles to the other greenhouses,
were filled with grapes and other hot-
house fruits just coming into bearing.

Mr. Kleinheinz has a private office

neatly and substantially furnished. The
paper is an exhilarating pattern of blue
and white, the frieze of red and white,
trophies of the bow and spear worthily
won.

In conclusion let me say the place
shows that money has been freely and
wisely spent and that knowledge and
ability are evidenced in every detail of
tlic management.

Seven-fourteen Chestnut.

They are always busy in Dreer's seed
store, but somehow they're never too
busv to give a few ideas to the visitor.
The rush is on now. Seeds, hardy roses,
perennials and what not, are being dis-
tributed with speed and precision. The
precision is always the same, but the
speed varies a little with the ther-
mometer. On the very warm days, when
the temperature goes up, extra pressure
must be put on to get the orders out on
time. On the cooler days, when it is
rainy and the rush slackens a little, ordi-
nary speed will do to keep pace with the
demand. They are always cheerful at
Dreer's. Successful people generally
are. They don't revile the department
stores for selling roses at $1.25 a dozen,
while their price is 40 cents each. They
simply say that the buyer of department
store roses at $1.25 a dozen usually fails
to grasp the psychological moment for
planting them, with the result that only
three of the dozen live, so that the same
buyer, buying three of Dreer's roses at
40 cents each, would make a profit of 5
cents, besides saving some labor and
worry. The bright spirits at Dreer's,
however, argue that even the buyer of
department store roses will soon want
something better, and sooner or later he
will come to Dreer's for that something.
Ergo: the department stores are good
educators. Isn't that logic?

NOTICE

Because of the new wag^e scak which
the Printers' Union has enforced upon
those employers not willing to stofer
interruption of their business, especially
because of that part of the scale which
makes overtime practically prohibitivet
it is of first importance that the Review
obtain its advertising; '^copy'' earlier.

It is therefore earnestly requested
that all advertisers mail their "cop/*

morning, instead of Wecmesday mora-
iogf as many have done in the past.

CUT IT OUT.

Advertisers are urged to cut out of
their advertisements in the Review any
items of stock on which they are running
low. Bemember that the Beview is
printed every Wednesday. Write so that
your letter will be received on Tuesday,
directing that items nearly sold out be
omitted. Don't wait until you are com-
pletely sold out; .orders will keep com-
ing. Don't neglect it. You will be at
no greater trouble to change your ad-
vertisement in the Review than you will
be to send back money — ^besides, you
know how it would disappoint you to
order stock and a week or so later, in-
stead of getting the goods, have the
money returned. Then, if the saiMe
stock is listed in the advertisement in
the next Review, what would you think t
Cut it out I

BOSTON.

The Market

As if in sympathy with the calamitous
disaster at San I^ancisco, the market
has gone to the bad with a vengeance
since Easter. Prices have tumbled all
around. Markets and commission houses
are overloaded with flowers and growers
in many cases have been very glad to ac-
cept almost anything in order to clear
out. The horse show last week, with its
attendant social activities, failed to ar-
rest the slump at all, which, while not
unexpected, is worse than we usually
nave right after Easter. The warm
weather brought flowers in with a rush
and there were altogether too many for
the market to digest.

Eoses have come down with a thud.
Rose men are disinclined to express
their feelings on the subject. Beauties,
Brides, Maids, in fa'it, all varieties, have
been a drug and prices have been cut in
two. Carnations have varied from $1 to
$3 per hundred, but lower prices have
been accepted for a good many. Violets
are less of a factor than they were and
sell moderately well at an average of
50 cents. Singles are getting scarce,
but one or two growers still have a fair
supply of doubles. Sweet peas of good
quality sell well and are not abundant.
Bulbous stock, some of which is arriving
from outdoors, is hard to move and much
is wasted. Valley, callas, lilies, in fact,
all other flowers, have suffered in the
slump, which it is hoped may have seen
its lowest point for a while.

A good number of nice rhododendrons,
azaleas, spiraeas and other pot plants
come in, but do not meet with much call
since Easter.

Various Notes.

William Sim picked over 200,000 single
violets for the Easter market and could
have sold more if he had had time to pick
them. He tried a good number of Gov-
ernor Herrick the past season. The only
fault he finds with it is a lack of fra-
grance.

E. O. Orpet will address the Gardeners'
and Florists* Club on May 15 on "The
Making of a Gardener." Additions at
the meeting on April 17 lifted the club
membership to 319.

F. R. Pierson Co. has appointed Peter
Murray, of Fairhaven, its New England
agent for Winsor carnation. This fine
variety will be distributed next season.

Bay State Nurseries, Blue Hill Nur-
series, J. W. Manning and other local
nurserymen are experiencing the most
remarkable call for trees and shrubs in
their history. The call for evergreens is
unprecedented.

Prof. C. S. Sargent has returned, via
Great Britain, from an extended tour in
Central and South America. He visited
several horticultural exhibitions in Eng-
land just prior to sailing and saw re-
markable displays of roses, orchids, nar-
cissi, amaryllis and other flowers.

^e recent warm weather has tempted
some of the carnation men to plant out
their young stock. It is hoped that cut
worms will this season be less de-
structive.

rnioj^ias Pegler continues to handle
quantitifes of excellent double violets at
the Park street market, grown by Oscar
L. Dorr, of East Foxboro.

A. H. Hews & Co. report unprece-
dented business and are experiencing
very great diflBculty in trying to execute
the ever-incresising volume of business.

Thomas Roland reports an excellent
Easter trade in pink, white and blue
hydrangeas. Crimson and Pink Ramblers^
hybrid roses, Mahemia odorata, Canter-
bury bells, azaleas, bougainvilleas, gen>
istas, acacias and lilacs. Prices were
^ual to those made in 1905.

W. W. Edgar did a record breaking
trade in azaleas, lilies, genistas, rambler
roses and other popular Easter plants.

Anderson & Williams did a big Easter
business in Crimson Ramblers, of which
they had an especially finely grown lot.

A school garden institute was held at
Horticultural hall on April 21 to help
teachers desiring to undertake school
gardening. There was a full line of
prominent speakers. W. N. Craig.

PITTSBUBG.

The Market.

A week's splendid weather haa forced
shrubbery and trees into bud and peaches
into bloom. Everything was quite
spring-like until Sunday, which wound
up with a storm and very heavy sleet al-
most large enough to be called hail. The
bright weather during the week brought
in flowers of all kinds, and especially the
belated lilies. Many of them will be lost
and none will bring the Easter price.
The wholesale houses were filled with
stock of all kinds and prices went tumb-
ling, especially on Beauties, carnations
and lilies.

The retailers, while they are nearly
all boasting about their wonderful Eas-
ter business, are now not rushed except
where there are some large decorations.

Various Notes.

David Geddis, of Homestead, donated
1,000 Lawson carnations for the benefit
of the San Francisco fund. These were
handled by a couple of the ministers of
the town, who had a table in his store
and realized about $75 on the stock.

Ernest Zieger, manager of C. T. Sie-
bert's east end store, had a number of
large decorations the past week.

Will Fitzsimmons is now with Mrs.
E. A. Williams, starting just before Eas-
ter, and he says he is either a mascot or
else got in . wrong, as they have never
had a rest since he started and most of
it night and day. They are loaded with
decorations.

The H. C. Frick greenhouses have been
open to the public since before Easter
and have been well patronized, espe-
cially on Sundays. This has now become
a regular Easter feature and people look
forward to it. Hoo-Hoo.

FERTILIZER FOR ASTERS.

In reply to William Scott's request
that we state in the Review the fer-
tilizer we have used with such good suc-
cess in growing asters,, we would say
that we have used barnyard manure to
as large an extent as it has been pos-
sible to obtain it, but our main depend-
ence has been upon commercial fertil-
izers, of which we use from 500 to 700
pounds per acre, applied with a grain
drill before setting the plants. We use
a brand known as ** 5-8-7." Translated
into plain English this means that the
fertilizer contains five parts ammonia,
eight parts phosphoric acid and seven
parts potash. It has given us very good
results. White Bilos.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Business steadily -went down hill last
week and Saturday night found tbe
wholesalers with considerable stock to
carry over, in spite of very moderate
prices. Some of them were fortunate in
cleaning up on Sunday but Monday
found the market with plenty of stock
and no very brisk demand. Boses con*
tinue to hold their own in better shape
than carnations, but there are enough
and to spare in most Unes. Cuts are not
heavy; it seems to be absence of de-
mand. The rq>ort is that everyone
through the country has plenty of stock.

Boses are of excellent quality and the
general average of carnations is probably
as good as tUs market ever saw. Prices
on carnations have been weak ever since
the day after Easter. Fancy stock may
now be bought at the prices ordinary
grades commanded a couple of weeks
ago. In general the range is from $1 to
$3, with the bulk of the sales at about
$1.50 per hundred. Even then it is im-
possible to clean out. A few fine red,
Prosperity, etc., still bring $4 per hun-
dred.

The bulbous stock is very nearly done,
except for the outdoor stuff, which is
still coming in heavily. Poeticos is in
large supply. Outdoor lilac is coming
heavily and arbutus is also added to the
list. Callas are good and belated Easter
lilies are abundant and selling cheaply.
Sweet peas are in demand. Some of ex-
cellent quality are seen. Valley has also
stiffened in price because of spring wed-
dings. Violets are very nearly at an end.

The Hudson river shipments shake badly
and the color is usually very poor.

Smilax has been scarce for several
weeks and now asparagus is pretty well
cut out. There are plenty of ferns and
all the jobbers are anxious to sell.

Easter Aftermath.

A summing up of the Easter business
shows that the total of sales was very
satisfactory. Those growers who took
heed of experience and the good advice
of the salesmen had their stock on the
market early and are very well pleased
with the aggregate sales and average
prices. Those who brought in the bidk
of their stock after the shipping demand
had passed are complaining. It is not
the first time that the early bird has
caught the worm in this market and it is
not likely to be the last time that the
growers who hold their stock to the last
minute pay the penalty.

VarioiM Notes.

Julius A. Schnapp, who has had
charge of Muir's store at Forty-seventh
and Grand boulevard, is opening a new
store for his own account at Forty-sev-
enth and Ellis.

The announcement of the assignment
of the Shaeffer Floral Co. created con-
siderable stir. Five local wholesalers
with aggregate claims of $3,500 sent an
attorney to Kansas City ajd last Friday
filed a petition in bankruptcy in the
United States district court against the
Shaeffer Floral Co. Some of them hold
notes with the personal endorsement of
Chas. A. Shaeffer. It is stated that the
liabilities approximate $6,000.

Mrs. J. Pieser, mother of tha Pieser

brothers, of the Kennicott Bros. Co., was
at the Hotel Bristol, San Francisco, with
her daughter, Mrs. H. J. Metz, at the
time of the earthquake and fire. It was
several days before word of their safety
was received. Mrs. Pieser is nearly 80
years of age. They were to have started
for home on the morning of the disaster.
E. E. Pieser went to Fort Madison, la.,
and met them there Tuesday evening.

Mrs. E. L. Eaton has secured the lease
on the large store at the south-east cor-
ner of Jackson boulevard and Plymouth
place and will open a flower store there
as eoon after May 1 as the room can
be fitted up. This will give three flower
stores within 100 feet, the others being
those of Fred Strail and Elizabeth ^A-
son. Miss Carlson has done very nicely
in the few months since opening.

Arnold Eingier, of the W. W. Barnard
Co., reached home on Tuesday. He
spent two very busy weeks in San Fran-
cisco, gathering up with much care or-
ders for a large variety of stock which
it is feared the buyers will not need as
soon as they expected to. He started for
home via lios Angeles a few days before
the disaster.

The F. E. Pierson Co., Tarrytown,
N. Y., sent Bassett & Washburn twenty-
five blooms of Winsor carnation, which
attracted much attention at their store
this week. The shade of pink is entirely
new. Bassett & Washburn have a big
lot of flowers from the Azores lily bulbs
yet to market.

O. P. Bassett, Mrs. Bassett and Mrs.
Andrews went to West Baden Monday
evening.

Louis Winterson, spent the winter with

Of the several local concerns that have
'increased their business largely the past

Everyone knows that their supplies have

NEW YORK.

The Market

The calm after the storm settled down
last week upon the New York market.
The catastrophe of the rainy Easter was
soon forgotten. The million violets left
over found the street and the refuse cor-
ner. One wholesaler showed me a few
on Saturday a week old. The perfume
was showing no signs of weakness,
wherein it differed from the market. It
is wonderful how the quality maintains
this season in the violet shipments. They
are just as blue and sweet as in the
height of the season. Looks as if we
might have violets this year as late as
June. '^

Growers cannot blame their sales
agents for the slump before Easter, but
the weather man has no excuse, and he
turned the close of the great yearly festi-
val from beautiful visions to ' ' weeping
and wailing and gnashing of teeth."

Last Saturday a big surplus of vio-
lets remained unsold. One house on
Twenty-eighth street showed me at 9
0 'clock twenty big boxes unopened. This
may be fairly considered a criterion,
and roses and carnations, too. All the
ice-boxes were full of them.

Sunday was like last year, warm and
sunny. Spring is not as far advanced,
but the parks are green, the early shrubs
are blooming and the robins are here to
stay. Nurserymen in every direction are
trying to c«itch up to the late season
and seedsmen are busy night and day.
Even so, it is impossible to keep pace
with the growth of sentiment in favor
of suburban life and the enormous in-

crease in planting everywhere. The coun-
try is only now awakening to the possi-
bilities in horticultural pleasures, and
the nurserymen of today will be the mil-
lionaires of the coming generation. The
supply even now does not keep pace with
the demand. The sales of nursery stock
around New York this spring have been
enormous. The auctions are busy, prices
are good and patrons many. Everything
betokens prosperity.

VarioiM Notes.

In the retail cut flower business, after
the lull following Easter, the trade on
Saturday was universally satisfactory.
Many good wedding decorations are in
prospect. Mr. Humphrey, of Thorley's,
tells of several last wedc, one of the
largest in his experience.

Leikens has the Sutherland-Foster wed-
ding this week Wednesday, church and
house, and in addition the Belmont hotel
decoration permanently and a fine stand
in this tallest and biggest of New York 's
caravansaries.

Siebrecht's windows are again filled
with orchids from their own conserva-
tories. Like all the big houses on the
avenue, they report a satisfactory Easter,
"as large as last year, notwithstanding
the rain. * '

Young's windows are crowded with
the firm 's own hydrangeas, the best in
the city, and a feature of their Easter
business.

McConnell's looks spring-like with a
wealth of golden bloom in tubs, the
forsythia showing perfectly after its
Easter forcing. Here, with nursery con-
tracts, funeral work and decorations
there seems to be a continuous pressure

from the beginning to the end of the
season.

Bowe is still crowded for room, his
store gradually growing too small for his
regular trade, not to mention transient
or holiday demands.

Changes are contemplated on both
Fifth avenue and Broadway in the near
future, which to the majority are but
conjectures, but nevertheless inevitable.

Mr. Grant, formerly with Small &
Sons, is now doing some independent
decorating for the bon-ton florists, and
Arthur Merritt, of the new leucothce
wreath fame and a decorator during a
generation, is also at times helping out
the busy florists of Broadway and Fifth
avenue, with his artistic creations and
advice. There seems to be a field for
just such utilities, and a profitable one
for all concerned.

about everything the florist can demand,
except cut flowers, and these are on every
side of him.

Chas. Millang sold every one of his
50,000 lilies Easter, and every plant in
his conservatory. He has fully recovered
his health again, and his "horse" de-
partment is a profitable adjunct.

Jack Gunther had his little joke on
one of the big retailers last week, when
his colored lieutenant was sent for some
flesh-colored sweet peas and Jack sent
him a r lot of dark purple ones and
claimed he had filled the order accord-
ing to sample.

Jos. Fenrich is doing duty as a juror
very philosophically, being such a nov-
elty that he enjoys it.

J. K. Allen was slightly indisposed
toward the end of last week. With good
weather Sunday he says it would have
been the greatest Easter of his nineteen
years' experience.

Carrillo & Baldwin, the new orchid
firm, have everything completed at their
place in Secaucus, N. J., and are pre-
paring for the arrival of a fine ship-
ment of Cattleya gigas. They are both
experts and the field is wide and the
orchid growing constantly in popularity.

Julius Koehrs, Sr., looks well after his
European trip and rejoices in the usual
Easter clearing of everything salable in
his greenhouses.

The eighth lecture of the American

Institute series was given on Wednesday
afternoon of this week by George T.
Powell on "How to Make and Keep a
Lawn." These lectures are not as well
attended as they deserve to be.

The outing committee met last Friday
and all arrangements are now complete
for the best outing the club has ever
enjoyed. Full particulars will be given
at the next meeting, May 15, which will
also be bedding plant night with some
exhibits of novelties on the side.

Sander & Sons, of London, England,
have established their New York office
at 235 Broadway. Mr. Mellstrom is in
charge. Mr. Sander, Jr., has returned
to Europe.

Boddington's Harrisii are in great de-
mand. The quality of the flowers from
their "quality brand" this Easter tells
the story. They remind their patrons of
the early Easter of 1907.

Everybody in the wholesale section is
felicitating genial Phil Breitmeyer, of
Detroit, on his appointment as park com-
missioner and predicting congressional
honors for him in the no distant future.

Bees are buzzing already in the bon-
nets of some of the easterners as to the
next president of the S. A. F. The young-
er elment in the society holds the balance
of power it seems and are surely acquit-
ting themselves with honor. Qude, Breit-
meyer and Kasting are a trio of presi-
dents not soon to be forgotten. On whose

shoulders will the mantle fallf Some
think our own Twenty-eighth street will
be able to answer the question.

J. T. Lovett, of Little Silver, N. J.,
reports a wonderful call for nursery
stock this spring and the busiest season
in his career. He has an enormous sup-
ply of herbaceous stock for the coming
planting and about everything for the
garden.

O. V. Zangen, the seedsman of Hobo-
ken, has had a tremendous year and is
busy night and day with seed shipments
to all parts of the country.

Bobert Simpson, president of the Hose
Society, is instaUing one of Kroeschell
Bros.' largest boilers. All the boiler
men report business boiling, never bet-
ter, and every house devoted to this de-
partment of the florists' trade is over-
whelmed with orders. Building is pro-
gressing on every hand. It is hard to
find any progressive florist who is not
adding to his glass or contemplating it.

We have an established reputation for fill'
ing orders when others fail •• •• .. •• •

servatory attached, and very roomy store.
Albert J. Loretz, long with Weir, has
a fine store of his own at 228 Flatbush
avenue, where he made a great display
for Easter. Mrs. Loretz is one of the
best artists in the business and vras at
one time with LeMoult and Foley, the
Bowery florists.

Thos. E. Langton ia the pioneer of
Flatbush avenue and has held the fort at
198 -for a score- of years. A fortunate
turn of real estate on Long Island a
while ago makes continuance in trade
quite unnecessary save for the pleasure
of it. Mr. Langton is at present trying
to take a fall out of his old enemy, rheu-
matism. All. the Brooklyn retailers re-
port a very satisfactory Easter.

The plants handled by the big depart-
ment stores at Easter and the hardy
foses sold since that time surpass in
numbers the vnldest estimates. It is not
uncommon for one of these stores to sell
"jOjOOO roses. Prices range from 5 cents
|o 15 cents and some of the stock offered
's a good argument against gardening;
^mall, dry, useless stuff that is dead long
before it reaches the hands of the buy-

er. But notwithstanding all this the
trade in these imported plants and also
the demand^ for local bushes grows each
year and the total handled by these great
distributers reaches into the millions.

The Brooklyn wholesalers. Hicks &
Crawbuck, Inc., Bonnet & Blake and
Wm. H. Kuebler all report a satisfac-
tory Easter. The demand for all kinds
of supplies at Hicks & Crawbuck 's was
far ahead of their anticipations. Their
big store on Gourt street proves inad-
equate for their growing business. They
are adding space and facilities.

Ever since Easter the business has
been very slow with some, while with
others it has been reported good. Small
weddings and funeral work are about
all that is being done. Large supplies
of all kinds of stock are being shipped
in. Roses are not so badly overstocked
in the first grade, but other grades ^re

in excess of the demand. Beauties are
quite plentiful in all grades. Bichmond
and Killarney are the only scarcity in
the rose line.

Carnations are greatly overstocked and
have been since Friday, when good stock
sold for $7.50 per thousand, especially
in the colored sorts, white bringing a
better price, as quite a lot of funeral
work was put up the past week, espe-
cially for Mrs. W. J. Lemp, wife of the
millionaire brewer, on Wednesday.

There are plenty of lilies, both callas
and ' Harrisii, and all other bulbous
stock. Violets are becoming scarce.
Those that are coming in are very small
and pale. Quite a good supply of sweet
peas is coming in and it is about the
only flower that is selling out clean.
There is more mignonette than can be
sold.

' Plant trade continues good, both local
and ■ shipping. The plant corner at
Union market is in full bloom and the
florists who sell there report a good
trade since the opening two weeks ago.

Various Notes.

met, and should continue successfully

grown quite large. He is a nephew of
Wm. Edlefsen and a brother-in-law of

Milwaukee. Of the old firm, Mr. Pilcher
will continue at his place in Kirkwood, as

Gike Not Good for Florists.

A tragedy was narrowly averted at
the Royal Greenhouse early Easter morn-
ing. The employees had been working
very late Saturday night filling Easter
orders. At 2 o 'clock Sunday morning,
on completing their duties, Mr. Stolper
prepared a lunch for the men, including
cake, which had been purchased during
the afternoon. Two of the men, Lloyd
and Gatehouse, did not eat of the cake,
as they were too tired to eat and they
retired on an improvised bed. Messrs.
Stolper and Ueberheim had a room in
the building, but Albert Senier went to
the bathroom before retiring.

Soon Mr. Stolper was startled by the
sound of breaking glass. On riMhing
into the room he found Senier con-
vulsed in agony. Mr. Stolper had barely
time to awakfen the two men and tell
them to help Senier when he, too, ex-
perienced the same symptoms. In a
very few minutes Mr. Ueberheim, Gate-
house and Lloyd were aroused through
the shouts of Mr. Stolper and went to
his assistance. The only persons in a
position to act were the men Gatehouse

and Lloyd, who had not eaten of the
cake. They immediately telephoned for
a doctor, who on arriving some half
hour later gave the men a powerful
emetic, which had the desired effect,
though the sufferers remained in a dazed
state all forenoon, especially Senier.

CLEVELAND.

The Market

The Easter trade was all that anyone
could wish. Everything was sold at good
prices and more could have been disposed
of. The demand for plants was enwr-

mous and cut flowers of all kinds were a
close second, while the amount of busi-
ness done was far greater than at any
other Easter.

The supply on Monday morning wa»
so small that it was hardly worth while
trying to do any business, but the de-
mand was very brisk and has kept up
all the week, with good prices. Outdoor
bulbous stock is now coming in and
prices will gradually drop.

The carnation growers are getting^
ready for field planting, and if the
weather permits will start the first of
the week, and will put out about twice
the number of plants that were set out
last yeajr.

The New Single Violet

Did you know that the Governor Herrick Violet was the freest
bloomer ever originated, and has the largest open flower borne on a stem
that is heavy enough to hold the flower erect and that the color is the
most intense purple of any violet, that we never have shown it to any
one, whom it did not please, and that at the Philadelphia Spring Show it
was awarded a certificate of merit and at the Boston Carnation Con-
vention it received special mention, and down at Louisville, Ky., it was
one of the sensations of the exhibition, and that it will please you? Write
us and let us send you a description of this violet or a small bunch of
the violets and then you will order some; the prices of this violet are
$2.00 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 plants; $75.00 per 1000 plants. Let us
figure on your order.

Easter trade was ahead of all previous
years. In pot plants, lilies of course
took the lead and were sold in large
numbers. Azaleas came next in favor.
Other plants selling well were Dorothy
Perkins, Baby Rambler and hybrid roses,
rhododendrons, Von Sion narcissi, tulips
and violets. In cut flowers, carnations,
violets, roses, bulbous stock and sweet
peas were in greatest call in about the
order named.

W. W. Hathaway, A. A. Read and
Mrs. Moir all did a first-class trade. De-
partment stores, as usual, did consider-
able selling, cutting prices to some ex-
tent, while street fakers disposed of a
good many cut flowers. W. N. C.

The way sweet peas are being cleaned
out will make any shortage of the com-
ing California seed crop a serious affair.

Chas. p. Guelf, of the Jerome B. Rice
Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y., is at present
making his headquarters at Columbus, O.

A WIRE from C. P. Braslan reports all
seedsmen safe at San Jose and suburbs.
It is thought little damage has been
done to seed crops.

Eakly varieties of sweet corn are in
good demand and 4he supply of many
of the most popular sorts seem to be
pretty well closed out.

Onion sets have taken a jump the
p^st few days. 'It was like the last
wiggle of the pickerel landed last sum-
mer by the see^unan holding the fishing
record, A livS| finish is a good thing.

If th^PVon set growers in the Chi-
cago district wanted rain, they got it
April 25. It was so heavy some seed
may have been washed out of the
ground.

Mail trade is reported dropping off.
There is a good spurt- in the demand
for onion seed, several large lots having
been sent out the past week to localities
that were reported overstocked a short
time ago.

S. D. Dysinqee, manager of the seed
department of Sears, Koebuck & Co.,
Chicago, lost his wife on April 22, after
only a few days* illness. Mr. Dysinger
has himself just recovered from an ill-
ness of many weeks.

From latest accounts three weeks of
cold weather following a week of balmy
temperature in early March have done
considerable damage to bulb fields in
Holland, besides retarding and shorten-
ing the blooming season.

Seeding in the onion set district south
of Chicago was finished early this week.
The weather has been favorable, but rain
soon will be needed to bring the seed
out. C. J. Hess says the acreage is
somewhat smaller than last year.

The onion set men are working over-
ume to get their seed into the ground.
Conditions for planting in the main are
first-class at Chicago, but there come
reports that the ground needs a light
iihower to make it work up properly.

CoNsn)ERABiE Speculation as to what
effect the California earthquake will
have upon the seed growing interests is
being indulged in throughout seed trade
''ircles. Nothing definite is known about
^he matter and it is hoped that little
2f any harm has been caused by the
growing crops.

SYMPATHY FROM LONDON.

August Eolker & Sons, New York, are
in receipt of the following cable from
Watkins & Simpson, the well-known Lon-
don seedsmen:

wish to express our deepest sympathy In ap-
palling catastrophe to your countrymen.

Eolker & Sons write that "on behalf
of their many American friends we
acknowledged this spontaneous expres-
sion of sympathy with a few words of
grateful thanks."

NOW COMES THE TEST.

Chairman Wadsworth, of the House
Committee on Agriculture, on Monday
reported the agricultural appropriation
bill for passage. In explanation of the
elimination of the congressional seed
distribution the report says : ' ' The item
covering the congressional free distribu-
tion of vegetable and flower seed has been
omitted from the bill. There is not, and
never has been, any warrant of law for
this expenditure, and the item simply
has been tolerated in appropriation
bills."

Now comes the test of strength. It is
expected that before final action an
amendment will be offered reinserting
the provision for the seed distribation.
It is hoped that enough sentiment has
been created to defeat this.

The Department has let a number of
contracts to seed growers for 1906 crops
subject to the making of the usual ap-
propriation,

THE SEEDSMEN OF FRISCO.

The disaster that has come upon San
Francisco is so great that the fate of
the comparatively few seed houses it
numbered is of little consequence as com-
pared to the extent of the general calam-
ity, and yet, like the mother who is most
anxious about her one boy out of the
many thousands that may lie on a battle
field, self-interest prompts a desire for
particulars.

The principal seed stores of San Fran-
cisco are situated outside of the zone
where the earthquake did most damage,
but in the district devastated by the fire
which was the principal cause of damage
to property.

The Cox Seed Co. occupied a four-story
corner building on Sansome street about
a quarter of a mile nearer Market street
than were C. C. Morse & Co., who re-
cently acquired the business of E. J.
Bowen, whose quarters for years had
been on Sansome street. "Within a block
or two of Cox Seed Co., also on Sansome
street, were Trumbull & Beebe, who had
also been in that same location for some
years. A new concern, the Pacific Seed
Growers Co., of which T. A. Cox is pres-
ident and J. B. Agnew manager, has
also headquarters at the Cox address on
Sansome street. The firm known former-
ly as Levin, Vincent & Co. is now styled
Vincent, Levin & Co. and is owned by a
restaurant man named I. Cuenin and is
conducted by the old management under
his direction. This seed house was near
Sansome street and in the burned dis-
trict.

C. H. Lilly Co., of Seattle, successors
to Lilly, Bogardus & Co., had a branch
store at 305 Market street, where they
carried not only seeds, but a large stock
of poultry supplies. The ferry build-
ing escaped and some surrounding struc-
tures; it is hoped good fortune may
have extended the three blocks to Lilly 's.

These were the principal seed stores of
San Francisco and were all close togeth-
er. The7 differ in many respects but all
did a general seed business.

The Cox Seed Co. combined all the
branches. They retailed, wholesaled, grew
and jobbed. They carried nursery stock
and bulbs, did a fancy trade and drew
many market gardeners, issued a cata-
logue and catered to out-of-town custom-
ers as mail order seedsmen.

C. C. Morse & Co. last January issued
their first catalogue for mail orders. They
are well known growers of California
seed products, are continuing the busi-
ness established by E. J. Bowen, who in-
cluded boxes and packages in his distri-
bution of seeds to the stores along the
Pacific coast. They also do a general re-
tail trade locally and are jobbers, con-
fining this part of their efforts to the
Pacific coast and territory contiguous
thereto. A wire has come that since the
destruction of their San Francisco store
they have returned to the old headquar-
ters at Santa Clara and are still doing
business.

Trumbull & Beebe were seedsmen, nur-
sery men and florists, confining their ef-
forts more particularly to the retail

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

On some sorts of mangel wurzel quota-
tions are slightly cheaper, while others
have made slight advance. To a careful
observer, however, the signs are ap-
parent that all varieties are likely to
advance before the end of the season.
Generally speaking, there was no sur-
plus of any variety last season and most
merchants and growers will hold over
any surplus there may be this year
rather than weaken the market by a
lower price.

I have heard complaints lately in
reference to sweet pea seed grown in
California; that the climate of that
country, or some other cause, induces
sportiveness to rather a greater extent
than is appreciated by many growers
here.

The seed potato trade is nearing its
close and reports are that through the
whole season it has been characterized
by a very dead and uninteresting sale.
Eldorado, the true stock, is being offered
as low as £4 per ton. It is surprising
how many growers are going back to the
old Up-to-Date. The Scotch trade for
seed is growing. It has been repeatedly
proved that a ton of Scotch-grown seed
potatoes will produce two tons more

Beets and mangels are now being

a good many plants have suffered from
wet weather and following frosts. I may
say about half are rotten and absolutely
lost. With regard to mangels, I must
mention the great favor of the two giant

a high price again this season. Apart
from one or two good yellow varieties,

half -sugar varieties for seeds again, so
tba^ Best autumn, vie may e^cpect a large
quantity of same. These are two excel-
lent varieties of niangels, becoming very
big and containing more sugar than any
others, so that the feeding property for
cattle is also far superior; consequently,
I believe I am not mistaken in saying
the favor of these varieties will continue.
Carrots have also been recently trans-
planted, but not in a good state; a lot
of plants had been under water for some
time. Cabbages, turnips and swedes have
been mostly affected by continuous rain,
which made the young plants very ten-
der . and therefore unable to stand the
frosty weather which came lately. A
large acreage had to be ploughed up,
and a small crop is expected; the conse-
.quence is a rise of price for the present,
and very likely high prices will be asked
for all varieties when we come nearer to
harvest time.

Leeks do not look so bad; only in
some districts floods have destroyed all
plantations,' but I estimate the planta-
tions will be over half the usual ones.
If we recollect that leek seeds reached
a good price last season, and seeds were
pretty scarce^, we shall soon deduce that
they obghf to keep up a good price next
■year. • ■;'''-

^ Onions haV^e been put in largely, owing
to the big prices onion seeds reached
Ia8t't*Beason. However, bulbs had too
^liiueA rain to ke^ well, so that a good
)art became entirely unsound for plant-
jj^the more so that planting was de-
l»y^4- OJV account of the continuous un-
g»Vt>rable \veather,

* With regard to dnions, the check and
■ftrll of ■pric©' of the seeds in the middle
of the season is worth mentioning. This
i^q. doubt is due tp the lot of seeds com-
ing from countries unknown, so to say,
for production up to present time. When
in London last autumn I had an oppor-
tunity of being offered a ' ato% of Ten-
eriffe onion seeds, which certainly looked
good. I also saw some t)ulbs of the
stocks offered. They looked very much
like white Spanish in form and color,
but had already shot up. It is true it
was in a small close room, but my im-
pression was that it would not keep so
well as the old white Spanish, which I
can still see here in good sound bulbs,
with no trace of sprouting at all. How-
ever, in such scarce years, people will
have to do with this, and other hot
countries' seeds, as I understand tons
of same have been sold this year, coming
from Teneriffe and California.

This shows once more, that even in
scarce years, seeds cannot run any more
to such high prices as we used to see
in past times. Prices will be checked
by other centers of production, no mat-
ter if quality is sacrificed a bit.

Badishes will not be grown on a large
scale in our district this year. Growers
are tired of the bad crops that they have
had some years running, and are asking
for better prices. The result is that very
little radish will be sown here for seeds.

rists' Association is progressing, the
largest number of replies coming from
Tennessee, Mississippi and Georgia. No
doubt when started every state will join
in.

President P. Chopin appointed for the
committee of the next flower show the
following members: Paul Abele, chair-
man; Jos. Steckler, secretary; J. A.
Newsham, Bobt. Lockerby, C. W. Eich-
ling, Otto Werner, J. St. Mard, Geo.
Mahn, Claude Ory and C. W. Panther.

E. Eichling made a few appropriate
remarks about the importance of mem-
bers exchanging ideas about the raising
of plants and, following that idea, he
gave his experience in growing a new
variety of sweet pea, an improvement
on Mont Blanc. The seed is offered by
W. Atlee Burpee & Co., who say that it
will flower in forty days. Mr. Eichling
said that under our climate they have
come to flower in thirty-five days, and
judging from the flowers he exhibited
we may say it is a good acquisition.

Speaking about recreation, a good time
is on hand for the society, going to pass
next Sunday at the Bose YUul, where
they have been invited by A. Alost.

MADISON, N. J.

The April meeting of the Morris
County Gardeners' and Florists' So-
ciety was well attended. Morristown
came down with a full delegation.
\Vm. Duckham 's theme, ' ' A Journey
Abroad," was the drawing card. He
yrivo us a very interesting story of iiis
four inontlis' trip. His account of the
Edinburgh flower show was interesting
trum more than one point of view. The
city itself, through which he was piloted
by the veteran grower, Peter Barr, he de-
clared, was the finest he ever saw. In
this city of 280,000 population the paid
admissions to the show were over 75,000.
In chrysanthemums, he said, varieties
which do only indifferently with us un-
der the best culture, were better than
anything he ever saw here, and some
varieties that do best with us were only.
medium there. His conclusion was that
climatic conditions as well as good cul-
ture have a great deal to do with pro-
ducing good mums. He visited many
private places of note in Scotland and
England, the Kew Gardens and the
great commercial places, and many in-
teresting and instructive notes were

taken. Some new things were added to
his already noted collection by this trip.
A hearty vote of thanks was accorded
the speaker.

The ])lant exhibition for this month
consisted of a magnificent group of
Spira'a (iladstone, put up by Otto Koch,
florist at the State Hospital at Morris
Plains. Judges Duckham, Herrington
and Totty awarded it the society's cer-
tificate of merit.

Four new members were elected:
A. J. Guttman, Summit; Wm. G. Badge-
ly, Chatham; Robt. Tyson and Percy
Herbert, Florham Park. Our flower
show schedule is to be revised in com-
mittee for the next meeting. It was de-
cided to hold the next show in Madi-

THE BUILDING BOOM.

Early in the new year the manufac-
turers of greenhouse structural material
awakened to the fact that a building
boom was on. It was not long before
they found the season's orders running
considerably in excess of any previous
year, a lead which has been steadily
maintained. A little later the jobbers
in window glass felt the effects of the
building boom and shortly the dealers
in greenhouse hardware began to feel
it, especially those who handle full lines.
Among these is Henion & Hubbell, who
supply the steam fitting materials and
heating specialties for a large number
of the growers north of Chicago. They
handle practically everything in the line
of steam fitters' and plumbers' supplies
and report that the season's inquiries
are very much heavier than usual in this
department. A great many of the larger
greenhouse establishments are putting in
steam instead of hot water heat. They
are buying steam traps, pressure regula-
tors and other accessories of up-to-date
heating plants. The Henion & Hubbell
Co. has a man especially to look after
the greenhouse business in Cook county
and also does a large mail order busi-
ness in the same department. They find
this business growing rapidly and intend
to push it.

The Herendeen Mfg. Co., of Geneva,
X. Y., is another firm which is feeling
the effects of the building boom.- The
boiler is not wanted so early as the
other material and the inquiries in this
line are a little later in coming to hand.
The Herendeen people issue a special
greenhouse catalogue and have sold many
hundreds of boilers to florists. They
were awarded a certificate of merit for
their exhibit at the S. A. F. convention
at New York in 1900. They have sev-
eral branch warehouses through the
country, at all of which it is reported
that the greenhouse business this season
promises to be the heaviest on record.

One heating specialty in which the
growers are taking much interest is the
rocking grate. The device manufactured
by the Martin Grate Co. was last seas(m
installed by most of the large growers
around Chicago. Nearly every visitor
takes occasion to look into the work-

PACIFIC COAST.

On page 1637 is an illustration show-
ing the Easter windows of Clarke Bros.,
Portland, Ore.

On page 1635 will be found a map of
San Francisco, showing the locations of
nearly all the florists of the city and in-
dicating the boundary of the district
devastated by the earthquake and fire.

VICTORIA, B. C.

Easter was a record for this town.
Stock sold out very clean and everyone
seems satisfied. Only A. J. Woodward
and Mrs. Flewin had Easter lilies but
the supply was suflScient. These firms
shipped lilies to many points in the
northwest.

In most of the establishments toma-
toes have taken the place of carnations.
A. J. Woodward is growing 30,000
plants. I was permitted to view his
Easter cut of carnations and they were
great. Enchantress arid Lady Bountiful
were in glorious form.

The bedding season is now under
way. There has been a brisk demand
for annuals this week.

The severe frost in the middle of
March has left traces of its severity in
our gardens and there will be many
gaps to fill up. E. A. W.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Easter Trade.

Xow that we are thoroughly rested
and have once more found our bearings,
we look back with great satisfaction on
an Easter trade pronounced by both
wholesaler and retailer as being the best
ever. The elements, which play an im-
portant part in the making of a suc-
cessful Easter, were in perfect accord
with the season. There was not one un-
I)leasant feature.

We have five stores in the business
district, vying with each other for first
honors, and second to none in the large
cities. To keep in touch with the times
is our aim. The window decorations bear
<»ut this statement.

Never was the quality of the stock
finer and never were we better prepared
to suppply a growing demand. Easter
lilies were grand. The sales were nearly
double those of a year ago. All other
bullous stock was off a Avoek previous.
Some good cinerarias, lilacs and spiraeas
lielped to make up the plant display, but
they are not so popular here.

The variety of cut flowers was limited,
but the quality was superb. Eoses such
fis we now are cutting, perfect flowers
on 3-foot stems, cannot be excelled any-
wlierc. They are President Carnot, TesV
<nit, Kaiserin, fiolden Gate, Bride and
Hridesmaid. American Beauty is not
profitable with us, hence few are grown
iiere.

The weather has become too warm for
violets and the sweet pea supplanted
them. Carnations were, as always, much
in demand and, as the supply was ample,
•mly a slight advance on regular prices
was asked.

Both 1905 and 1906 have demonstrated
that a late Easter calls for the single
plant, rather than made-up effects, and
that second grade stock cannot he dis-
posed of at any price. A few small
church decorations brought diversion, hut

SAN FRANCISCO.

As I write I hear the booming of
dynamite discharged at short intervals
in an effort to save by these extreme
measures a portion of the city, a large
part of which has been razed to the
ground. Box after box of dynamite is
being ineffectually used to stay the rav-
ages of the flames following the earth-
quake, but block after block is licked
up by the great tongues of fire.

At the least calculation half of the
florists are completely burned out, and
for the few that remain there seems to
be little ahead that is cheering. Fully
100,000 people left the stricken city to-
day and all the ferries and public con-
veyances are filled to their utmost ca-
pacity. Oakland received 100,000 refu-
gees today and is the center of the re-
lief work. That town also suffered from
the earthquake shock, but happily was
not visited by fire. Things in the cut
flower line are absolutely at a stand-
still. Not one among the hundreds of
growers in tliis vicinity has any place
whatever to use his stock. It will be
several days before it will be possible to
get any summary of the situation. G.

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOOATION OF NURSLRYMEN.

Pres., E. AlbertBon, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce-
Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md.; Sec'y, Geo.
0. Seager, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches-
ter. The 3l8t annual convention will be held at
Dallas, Texas, June 13-16, 1906.

Planters of peach orchards show a
growing tendency toward the closer prun-
ing of the tops.

"The Plum Curculio" is the title of
a bulletin of the Bureau of Entomology
of the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
which will interest the nursery trade.

L. B. Spencer, C. E., has the contract
for platting the town of Croydon, Utah,
the name of which will be changed to
Portland. A model town will be built.

The nurserymen throughout Minnesota
are possibly the busiest lot in the trade
at the present time. Their spring pack-
ing is now on. L. L. May & Co. have
about 150 men at their nurseries.

D. G. WiEGAND Bruss, of the firm of
Van der Weijden & Co., Boskoop, Hol-
land, is in Chicago this week and re-
ports bookings of nursery stock heavier
than on any of his previous American
tours.

Max C. Meyer has retired from the
Phoenix Nursery Co., Delavan, Wis., and
is succeeded by A. P. Wilkins as man-
ager, secretary and treasurer. H. C.
Johnson continues as president, while
Will Moore, who has been with the nur-
sery for over fifteen years, is now a
partner and will have supervision of the
stock and grounds. Mr. Wilkins was
proprietor prior to Meyer's connection
with the business.

On April 13 E. W. Kirkpatrick and
C. C. Mayhew held a conference with
Col. John G. Hunter, secretary 'of the
Commercial Club of Dallas, Tex., with
reference to the accommodations for the
visitors to the convention of the Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen, to be
held in Dallas in June. The committee
stated that it expects between 300 and
500 visitors from the northern and east-
ern states and a larger trade exhibition
than ever before.

The records of the Department of
Agriculture show that the 1906 brood
of seventeen-year locust may be expected
to be especially numerous in central and
southeastern Pennsylvania, southern
Ohio, southern Indiana and Kentucky.
When it appears in large numbers it
naturally causes alarm, but the actual
damage is usually confined to newly
planted fruit trees, and a subsequent
hard pruning will often save these from
injury caused by the egg punctures.

BEST APPLES FOR MISSOURI.

Under date of April 10 L. A. Good-
man, secretary of the Missouri State
Horticultural Society, sent out the fol-
lowing :

In some parts of the state we learn that
numbers of fruit tree agents are selling
whole root and budded apple trees for
35 cents each, claiming that root-grafted
trees are worthless. They are also sell-
ing what they claim are new varieties
and little known varieties of apple trees, |

claiming that the old varieties are no
more good.

We advise that you buy good No. 1
two-year-old apple trees, four to six
feet high, from your home nursery or
some nursery firm which you know is
responsible. You can buy such trees for
$5 or $6 per hundred. The best varieties
for our state are:

Summer: Early Harvest, Red June,
Benoni, Early Pennock, Sops of Wine,
Duchess, Sweet Bough.

Pall: Lowell, Maiden Blush, Jeffries,
Wealthy, Grime's Golden, Jonathan,
Broadwell Sweet.

Winter: Gano, Ben Davis, Winesap,
Black Twig, York, Huntsman, White
Pippin, Ingram, Lradies' Sweet.

The semi-annual meeting of the so-
ciety will be held at Moberly, June 12-
14, 1906.

PIONEER NURSERYMEN GONE.

T. L. Goff, Chadron, Neb.
Theodore Lovell Goff, a leading nur-
seryman of Chadron, Neb., and one of
the earliest settlers, died April 16. He
leaves a wife, three daughters and one

DETROIT.

The Market

A steady flow of business has kept the
market pretty well cleaned up. Koses,
carnations and in fact all flowers are
very good.

The boys are all very glad that Easter
with all its trials and tribulations is over,
and before long we will find them head
over heels in outdoor work.

Qub Meeting.

Easter trade was thoroughly discussed
at the Detroit Florists' Club's last meet-
ing. The sale of potted plants was re-
ported as having been exceptionally
heavy. The lateness of Easter and the
warm weather were given as the main
reasons, it being easier to persuade peo-
ple to buy plants when the trees com-
mence to leaf than in wintry weather.
In cut flowers, violets were of fine qual-
ity and sold very well. Sweet peas also
found a ready market. Roses were very
good, but the money made on violets
was lost on roses and carnations, as
neither of these sold well. Spring flow-
ers sold fairly well, but the inclination
toward buying bloomiiig plants seems
more noticeable each year.

During the evening the remark was
made that the retailers are too extrava-
gant in the use of boxes, fancy cords,
foil, etc.. one grower averring a tendency
toward lowering the market price of cut
flowers. Quite a discussion followed,
during which the growers were shown
that the retail man is just as anxious to
keep down his expenses as anyone, but
that competition and the demands of the
better class of trade are responsible for
this seeming extravagance.

Secretary J. F. Sullivan was instruct-
ed to write Mayor Codd congratulating
him as well as the city of Detroit in hav-
ing secured so capable a man as Philip
Breitnieyer for park commissioner. The
secretary was also instructed to write
Mr. Dreitmeyer on behalf of the club
congratulating him on his appointment
and the help of .so able an assistant as
Wm. Dilger.

J. Oooding and F. J. Wells, both of
Mount Clemens, were elected members.

The entertainment committee was in-
structed to make a report at the next
meeting in regard to the club 's outing.
Quite a freak in the shape of a carna-
tion was exhibited by E. A. Kuhnke, of
Toledo,

The Easter Trade.

One of the most noticeable features of
the Easter trade is the general increased
demand for plants over cut flowers. One
of the causes of this may be the ad-
vancing of prices by the wholesaler at
Easter and Christmas, while plants main-
tain a more normal price at all seasons.
The retail men are pushing the sale of
plants on account of being able to make
a larger margin of profit than they can
on cut flowers at the holiday season.
Many of the best retail men tell us
that they cannot ask from their regular
customers prices for cut flowers at holi-
day season tliat would give them any-
thing like a reasonable margin.

We were treated this Easter to a wet
Saturday, which very materially affected
business, and consequently quantities of
cut flowers were left over. It is the first
holiday season that the wholesale men
have had sufficient to go around and
some to spare. In plants everything
cleaned up well. Some very fine rhodo-
dendrons and azaleas were to be seen,
together with quantities of spineas, lilies
and other flowering plants.

Dunlop 's stores were a magnificent
show, with well grown plants from their
own conservatories. S. Tidy & Hon had
the usual big stock of flowering plants,
among which were special importations
from the States. His large conservatory
at the back of his store gives liim an
ideal place for display. J. S. Simmons
had his store stocked with all varieties
of plants and cut flowers. In the back-
ground of his window was an immense
cross of bronze galax leaves finished at
the base with lilies and doves.

Since Easter trade has been slack and
stock is accumulating very fast. Espe-
cially do we notice this in roses and car-
nations. Bulbous stock is shortening in
supply. Sweet peas are coming in quite
plentifully.

We regret to report the serious illness
of J. S. Simmons, who on April 17 suf-
fered a nervous collapse. He had over-
taxed his strength and is still verv weak.

BALTIMORE.

The Easter Trade.

Easter trade was very satisfactory.
Considerable more business was done
than in previous years. Good roses were
scarce, owing to several of the largest
growers being off crop. Of carnations
there were plenty to fill orders at the
wholesale house, pink being in much
greater demand than white. One notice-
able feature about roses and carnations
was that very little salted stock showed
up. Very few good, home-grown violets
could be had; the bulk were from out
of town. Harrisii, callas and double
tulips sold well, but a good many Har-
risii were carried over on account of the
very short stems. Plenty of good smilax
and asparagus could be had.

A much larger assortment of blooming
plants was grown this year, and many
were handled through the Baltimore
Florists' Exchange. The pot-plant dis-
play at the stores and markets was very
attractive, although nothing very new
was seen.

Variotti Notes.

Fred Bauer, of Govanstown, is sending
in some fine lily of the valley out of

Stevens Bros, are cutting some of the
best Brides and Maids seen around Mary-

Stran & Co. have almost completed

J. J. Cummings is putting up five new
houses for cut flowers. His usual large
assortment of Easter plants was in fine
condition.

Lehr Bros, have completed a new
house for cut flowers. Their Easter stock
was in good shape and found ready

sale.

Mr. Eider is sending in about the
finest Genevieve Lord carnations seen
this season.

Mr. Akehurst, of "White Marsh, is cut-
ting some Bountiful and Flora Hill car-
nations that are about as fine as can be
produced.

Visitors the past week included a
quintet of Philadelphia drummers.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Apbil 26, 1906.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

Easter Trade.

The weather Easter week was mild and,
in spite of predictions to the contrary,
there were plenty of flowers and plants
to go around, although everything sold
out close and the total of business was
from fifteen to twenty per cent better
than last year. The stores showed the
largest increase, while the outside green-
houses did a business about equal to
last year. Three dry goods stores had
special lily and plant sales and had all
the business they could handle. The
craze for rose plants has waned; better
plants were offered this year, with less
demand.

Some of the florists were short of
lilies, but Crabb & Hunter had an abun-
dance. Henry Smith and the Grand
Rapids Floral Co. were the only others
having enough for their requirements.

Wm. Cunningham had plenty of other
plants, but was short of lilies.

The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. did a
good cut flower and plant business, but
was short on lilies.

The Park Floral Co. had to buy lilies.

Eli Cross had most of his lilies dis-
posed of before Easter arrived and what
few he had went quickly. He had a
fine lot of Crimson Ramblers. A good
share of them were shipped to Chicago,
where a large quantity of Crabb & Hun-
ter's plants al^o went.

James Schol's place is mostly violets
^nd Ije had a large cut consigned to Chi-
cago.

Miss Hartnett's father died Friday
night and she was obliged to leave her
store in charge of an assistant; still she
reports a good Easter trade.

It was surprising the demand there
was for violets, but it only goes to show
the close hold it has on the affections of
flower buyers.

Chas. Chadwick was well stocked with
everything except bulbous flowers. His
trade was far in excess of last year.

EUZABETHTOWN, Ky. — Mrs. M. E.
Lamberth has started in the retail busi-

VASHINGTON.

State of Trade.

Considering the great Easter trade,
which is usually followed by a slump,
/ business was remarkably good during the
past week. Several of the decorators
were, by the middle of the week, so
busy with wedding and dinner decora-
tions that their whole force was on the
jump. If material for fine decorations
is to be considered, this is the time to
get married, as choice American Beau-
ty and other roses, lilies and carnations
are abundant. Spring blossoms of in-
different quality are being used to some
extent, but are more of a nuisance than
otherwise.

Various Notet.

Free seeds will come up in the House
of Representatives some time between
April 23 and 28, in connection with the
consideration of the agricultural appro-
priation bill.

Hon. John E. McLean, proprietor of
the "Washington Post, haa tendered the
use of Friendship, his country home, for
a grand lawn fete to be held May 2, for
the benefit of the people of San Fran-
cisco. The calamity which has fallen
upon that stricken city is so dreadful
that no apology is necessary for allud-
ing to it here. President Eoosevelt has
dispatched Secretary Metcalf to the
scene.

Gude Bros. Co. furnished an elabor-
ate decoration April 18 for the wedding,
at St. Thomas' church, of Miss Maud
Ely to Lieut. Commander John H. Gib-
bons, naval attache of the American
embassy at London. A great number of
palms, flowering plants and cut roses
were used in the decoration of the
church. For the reception, the home of
Mrs. Eichard S. Ely, mother of the
bride, was lavishly treated, the French
style of decoration being closely fol-
lowed.

On April 17, Z. D. Blakistone hand-
somely decorated the Pro-Cathedral
church (P. E.) for the wedding of his
sister, Miss Frances P. Blakistone, to
Henry E. Eives, of New York.

FRAGRANT RHODODENDRONS.

Showy though a flower may be, the
possession of a pleasing fragrance is a
great additional recommendation, on
which account some of the greenhouse
varieties of rhododendron are appreciated
above all others. The hybrids in most
instances owe their perfume to the in-
fluence of Rhododendron Edgeworthi, a
Himalayan species, which is rather more
particular in its cultural requirements
than many of the hybrids, as being
naturally more or less of an epiphyte, it
needs ample drainage and an open root-
ing medium, such as good fibrous peat
and rough silver sand. Into this it should
be firmly potted. Among the best of
these sweet-scented rhododendrons for
flowering in the greenhouse are: Countess
of Derby, Countess of Sefton, Duchess
of Sutherland, Fragrantissimum, Lady
Alice Fitzwilliam, Mrs. James Shawe and
Sesterianum. All these varieties flower
in the spring, then grow and set their
buds for another season, unlike the mem-
bers of the tube-flowered, or Javanese
section, which grow and flower more or
less continuously throughout the year. —

PROVIDENCE, R. L

The serious aspects of the coal ques-
tion upon the prospects of the flcrists'
business was one of the principal topics
discussed at the monthly meeting of the
Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode
Island, in Swart 's lodge hall April 16.
In the absence of President J. F. Schel-
linger, the meeting was called to order
by Vice-President William Hill. There
was a good attendance and after a dis-
cussion of the Easter trade and condi-
tions, reports were made on the Boston
rose exhibition and there was a general
discussion also of the ravages of the
gj'psy moth upon trees, plants and
shrubs.

The hardships that were experienced
by the florists during the big coal strike of
1903 were retold by the various members
and it was stated that if there should
be any increase over the present prices of

coal many of the smaller florists would
be unable to make a profit next season.
The matter of excursions to some of
the larger greenhouses of the state was
discussed and a committee will be ap-
pointed to arrange several of these, also
several outings during the summer.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

A week of fine weather has started
the planting fever, the greenhouses are
crowded with purchasers and stock is
rapidly decreasing. Easter business in-
creased more than one-half over last
year. The growers who were fortunate
enough to be able to keep their Harrisii
lilies, sold out at good prices. The caJl
was for cut flowers. Fancy baskets and
trimmed pot plants are as yet unknown
here, but the same pleasing feature is
enacted on Easter as at Christmas, that

Landscape work has received an im-

work has been done than ever before,
and, judging by the inquiries from al'

two territories, there will be a great
deal of work done next fall.

Barring a couple of days immediately
following Easter, we have no kick com-
ing as to business since the holiday.
There has been considerable life to the
demand and the supply has been very
good. Prices have been holding up and
altogether we have every reason to be
satisfied. There also has been a very
great improvement in the weather.

Both roses and carnations are equal
to the demand and the quality is first-
class. Violets are about over for this
year. Bulbous stock is beginning to
slacken up and its days are numbered.
The exception will be callas and Harrisii.
They are in good supply and selling
well at good prices.

DENVER.

Easter Trade.

Easter business was the most satis-
factory in our experience. The weather
was ideal, wliich alone was needed for
the record-breaking trade that was en-
joyed by everyone. The sales increased
more on blooming plants than on out
stock, the prices not being any higher on
account of it. Lilies were by far the
most popular plants and every store was
well stocked with them, also with hy-
drangeas, azaleas, Crimson Eamblers,
etc. Azaleas and hydrangeas did not ap-
pear to be as popular as formerly and
some of the stores report having some
left. Quite a few Baby Eamblers were
seen and sold well. Spiraeas were good.

In cut flowers, while there was a very
good market, no remarkable rise in
prices occurred. Roses did not move
very freely. Carnations were most
sought after. The prices were not pro-
hibitive, ranging from 75 cents to $1..50
per dozen, and all were sold. Best Beau-
ties did not move as freely as was ex-
pected and did not make over $12 to $15
retail. A good medium grade, however,
was in demand. Eichmond and Liberty
sold well, while Bride, Maid and Chate-
nay made no advance at all and there
was plenty to satisfy the demand. Vio-
lets were a little scarce, the best stock
retailing for $2 per hundred. Sweet
peas were snapped up quickly, the best
selling at $1.50 per hundred.

Church decorations were not excep-
tional. St. John's Episcopal and Trin-
ity had the most elaborate displays.

Various Notes.

N. A. Benson is to build a new house
50x125 for carnations.

The city gave away 25,000 trees for
planting on Arbor day. They were much
sought after.

The Florists' Bowling League closed
its season a week ago with an exciting
finish, there being three teams tied for
first place. Team No. 4 won out, with
only ten pins to spare. The league was
a success and much interest was shown
through the season. Nearly $100 is in
the treasury for prizes.

The Park Floral Co. had ten wagons
loaded with plants, and one automobile
with cut flowers, ready to start out at
eight o'clock Easter morning.

Emil Glauber, of Montclair, is around
again after being laid up several weeks
with a broken rib. E. S. K.

Florence, Neb. — George Sorensen is
preparing to add two more houses to his
range of five. The new ones are to be
20x50 each.

Tlie Market.

We have settled down from the great
rush of Easter to a good steady trade.
All seem very well satisfied with the
business of the past week, agreeing that
it has been more than was expected.
Prices have gone back to what they were
previous to Easter. Carnations are still
in very large supply, but as everybody
seems to want them the growers and
dealers have both worked them off very
well indeed. There are still large quan-
tities of bulbous stock, and it begins to
go slowly. Boses are, as always, in good
demand. In the whole we are having a
very satisfactory business. I must espe-
cially mention the funeral orders of the
past week, as they have been very much
in evidence, both in number and size.

Florists' Qub.

Last Thursday evening our club de-
voted its regular session to bowling, in
which a great deal of interest is being
taken. Jt looks as if we would be able
to send a very good team to Dayton this
summer. _

The penny packets of seeds prepared
by the club have about all been distri-
buted to the 'school children.

The ijext meeting will be Tuesday
evening, May ,1.

Various Notes.

Graff Bros, have largely increased
their retail business lately. This firm
feels that the demand for cut flowers is
increasing very rapidly in this city. Mr.
Graff thinks a third more flowers are
being sold than a year ago. There is no
question but that the chrysanthemum
show of last autumn helped the trade
wonderfuih'. Zero.

Easter trade was very good. Palm
Sunday there were hundreds of visitors
at J. R. Hellenthal's greenhouses to see
his large display of Easter stock. His
230 ramblers were well flowered and
well shaped plants, as Mr. Hellenthal
finds it pays to grow some large plants;
there is always a good demand for good
stock to sell at $2 to $4..50. Longiflorum
lilies were extra good this season; per-
fect foliage, large flowers and plants a
good size, three feet and over. Hydran-
geas were exceptionally fine, with six to
eleven heads of bloom. They brought
$2 to $5 per plant. A fine lot of red
peonies came in just right and made a
very attractive Avindow display in his
store on South High street. Baby Ram-

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

All the florists report an extra fine
Easter trade; a yreat demand for all
kinds of potted plants and cut flowers.
Violets were exceedingly scarce. There
were not enough in the market to fill
orders.

K. H. C'haniherlin says it was the
finest trade in ten years.

Peter Murray never saw anything
like it.

S. 8. Peckham had a strenuous week.

W. P. Peirce reports everything lovely.

August .Tahn says he had a very good
traile.

K. E. \oftz was very well satisfied
with hi.s first Easter trade. He had the
cream of the violet trade.

The ,7. V. Spare Dry (Joods Co. tried
to give the florists a rub on lilies,
azaleas and spiraeas, selling them very
<'heap. ft is the only store which ever
did anything of the kind and naturally
the florists are incensed. They and
August Jahn, who is next door, are hav-
ing a run on hardv rose bushes.

Heating
A fireenhouse

is not a matter of mere in-
stallation of a boiler, and
laying of pipe — it's the
accurate, ])ractical knowl-
edge of plant requirements
and heat engineering. 00
years of boiler test is one
thing, and the laying of
pipe another.

THE FIRE PICTURE.

The photograph reproduced on this
page was taken for the Review on Fri-
day afternoon, April 20. It shows the
burning city of San Francisco as it ap-
peared to the refugees gathered at the
top of Telegraph Hill, where the corre-
spondent stood. The district shown was
completely swept by the fire, the houses
in this section of the city being all of
frame construction, as indeed were most
of the residences in the city. San Fran-
cisco had no such building regulations
as have most American cities, prohibit-
ing the erection of wood structures m
the closely built sections.

THE FLORISTS' PREDICAMENT.

Last Week's Report Complete.

Supplementing my report published
last week, which gave full details of
the losses sustained by the florists of
San Francisco, it only can be said that
the flower stores to escape were those
of the Park Floral Co., Anderson &
Co. and Serveau Bros. These are far
removed from the business center, and
as a consequence they are still in exist-
ence. The combined losses of the re-
tailers will amount to from $750,000 to
$850,000. None of the nurseries in
town is damaged to any extent. Sievers
& Co. were on the edge of the burned
area, but escaped completely. Chas.
Abraham and F. Ludemann were well
outside of the stricken territory.

All the seedsmen in town were com-
pletely wiped off the map except Vincent,
Levin & Co., of 621 Sansome street.
The losses to the other houses, the Cox
Seed Co., C. C. Morse & Co., Trumbull
& Beebe, Thos. Meherin and fhe Lilly
Co., will easily foot up to at least $250,-
000, making a loss of over $1,000,000
to the wholesale and retail florists and
seedsmen.

Florists Have Gone.

There is not a vestige of a green leaf
to be seen in San Francisco, except a
few palms around City Hall square, and
with the disappearance of green goods
the florists likewise have taken to flight.
Some of them barely escaped with
their lives, and a few of the more for-
tunate saved their books and personal
belongings. The town has decreased in
population from tlie 400,000 of a week
ago to about 150,000 at present. At
least 100,000 are quartered in Oakland
and vicinity, and about fifty florists and
assistants are over there, many of them
with their families.

The Future.

It is too soon to venture predictions
as to what will be done in the matter
of re-establishing permanent flower
stores in town. Already many of the
largest general stores have opened
offices in Oakland and will continue to
direct business from there until they
can be accommodated with quarters at
home. But this is not practicable for

the florist, as it is plainly shown that
at this time the public is not buying
flowers to any extent, and Oakland al-
ready has all the stores that can be sup-
ported, even with an extra hundred
thousand refugees on hand.

I have seen probably twenty of the
unfortunate retailers, and all of them
are completely at sea regarding their
intentions in the future. The sudden-
ness of the blow and the awful experi-
ence passed through has left everyone
in a dazed condition, and none knows
where he stands.

Where the Grower Stands.

From conversations I have had with
the growers I think there is probably
due about $50,000 altogether to them
from the retailers for Easter goods.
This represents quite an item in the
year's receipts and it is probable that
a considerable portion of it will never
be paid, being that both the retailers
and, in a majority of cases, all their
customers are burned out. The chances
are not very bright for a speedy settling
of accounts.

The all-absorbing questions with the
wholesale growers at present are: How
far shall I keep up the cultivation of
my plant? Will it pay me to hire the
necessary help to keep it in operation!
Shall I continue to carry a big lot of
young stock for fall replanting? Would
it not be cheaper to let my carnations
and roses die and close up the houses f
Shall I cancel my fall order for bulbs t
I wonder how long it will be before I
can sell anything?

In the meanwhile hundreds of thou-
sands of the finest stock ever grown is
daily consigned to the rubbish heap,
and greatly to the credit of both whole-
salers and retailers, they have gone long
distances in many instances and do-
nated wagon-loads of flowers of all de-
scriptions to the suffering in the vari-
ous hospitals.

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

May 3, 1906.

An Unparalleled Situation.

Such a condition of affairs has prob-
ably never before been experienced in
the utter demoralization of trade in
such a large area of country, and signs
for any improvement for a long time to
come are at present not apparent. The
public has absolutely no use for flowers.
Everyone is interested in getting a place
to sleep, and it will be a long time be-
fore anything in the way of luxuries is
aimed at.

All the undertakers in San Francisco
are burned out, all the public halls, most
of the churches. Over 250,000 people
have left the town and are located in
various parts of the state, so that the
chances for funeral work are very slim.
Most of the hearses and carriages have
gone to the flames. Funerals are con-
ducted very quietly. There are but few
caskets in town, and the friends are so
widely distributed when a death occurs
that there is no chance for the florist.

Quantities and Prices.

A low estimate of the carnations that
should be marketed at this time is
about a million blooms per week, and
about half a million rose buds in the
same length of time. It is safe to say
that not over five per cent are shipped
to outside points, and when this was
done direct rrom the wholesalers there
has been little change. The retail
dealers have in many instances turhea
their out-of-town regular customers over
to the growers, and in this way tue
stores in other localities will not be in-
convenienced.

Quotations of various flowers are not
worth making. The finest carnations
ever seen can be had at 50 cents per

hundred, and American Beauties with
4-foot stems at a few cents per dozen.
Other stock is sold by tue basKet, and it
is only a waste of time to pretend to
quote on it.

How long this condition of affairs
will last, or how it will turn in a few
weeks, I am at a loss to conjecture.
Some of the growers are trying to get a
market for their goods in other towns,
but large cities are scarce on this coast,
and the chances are not very bright to
use much stock in that way.

However, something brighter may
loom up in the luture to relieve the
conditions somewhat, but at the present
writing they are at the lowest point
ever reached in this locality. G.

FIRST AND BEST.

The Eeview, containing the very full
and splendid description of the losses
of the brother florists in that sadly
stricken California city of San Fran-
cisco, as well as other points, came to
hand in due season Thursday afternoon.
I glory in the enterprise that has brought
about such things in so short a time.

The catastrophe makes our trouble in
1871, in the burning of Chicago, look
small, although as I read from day to
day the accounts in the daily papers,
many of the experiences there given were
similar to those with us. The feeding of
the hungry was one of those things that
I, as a public officer at the time, had a
hand in, in the early stages of the work.

I was also, you may be sure, glad to
find that our old friend, Mr. Grant, al-
though shaken, is all right. What an
experience in one's lifetime.

Popular Nephrolepis.

Everyone must have noticed the won-
derful popularity of the nephrolepis
fern the past winter. Most of the large
growers were sold out long before Eas-
ter. The grower of bedding plants will
have his benches too full for another
three or four weeks, but as soon as any
can be spared, four or five inches of
good, fresh loam should be put on them
and the young ferns planted out one
foot apart. I believe four inches of
soil is quite as good as six inches, and
that saves a lot of labor and material.
A third of well-decayed animal manure
should be mixed with the soil.

There are now so many varieties of
nephrolepis that it is venturesome to
say much about the merits of any par-
ticular variety.

Bostoniensis was a great improve-
ment on old N. exaltata, and a well
grown Boston will fill the bill with most
people.

Scottii is a most valuable variety and
makes such a compact plant, even when
quite small, that it sells the best of all,
and you should have a large proportion
of your stock of Scottii.

The still more beautiful forms, Pier-
soni and Elegantissima, and still later

Barrowsii, and now Whitmani, are beau-
tiful as specimen plants, and as they
are only sports or variations of the Bos-
ton form there is no reason why they
should be more difficult to grow or less
useful plants for the dwelling house.

The Basfpipe Fern.

Whitmani is the latest and seems to
us the most beautiful of these many
different forms, yet I would say let
the great majority of your stock be the
old Bostoniensis and Scottii. If the
latter is well grown, you will have not
only a beautiful fern, but you will no-
tice at break of day that it resembles
a full-dressed Scottish warrior clad in
kilts with filibeg and tartan plaid.
The bagpipes are not visible because
when in full blast it is seldom that
either the animal or vegetable kingdom
can stand the bagpipes. They tried to
introduce the pipes into Illinois, but it
was a failure. To be appreciated a
hilly country is required, the music be-
ing on one side of the hill and the audi-
ence on the other. After this brief al-
lusion to the prehistoric windbag of old
Scotia, I will repeat, grow all you can
of this most useful class of ferns. It
wUl pay you better than chrysanthe-
mums.

Herbaceous Plants.

Many florists are asked to supply
shrubs and herbaceous plants. Now is
the time to transplant both. All of
the latter move with safety now. While
I am a great believer in division of
labor, and more and more under our
civilization is it the order of the day,
yet there are many cases where our good
customers have been sadly deceived by
the ignorant tree peddler and his col-
ored pictures, and they turn to the resi-
dent florist for their wants or advice,
i have little to say about herbaceous
plants, except that the spot where they
are planted should be dug deeply and
plenty of manure worked in.

Planting Deciduous Stock.

Deciduous shrubs transplant with
safety any time before they are in full
leaf, but much better before the leaf
buds have started. All shrubs and
trees have lost more or less roots in
transplanting and must be pruned in
proportion to the loss of roots, so that
the inactive or mutilated roots will have
to supply less sap. Generally the
smaller the shrub the less pruning is
necessary. Your customers are likely
to make a face and think you are com-
mitting murder when they see you using
the knife freely, but tell them, with the
look of a sage and an air of authority,
that it is the salvation of the shrub,
and long before fall the growth will
have far outstripped the shrub that was
unpruned.

Hardy Roses.

Thousands of hybrid perpetual roses
are planted every spring, and the great
majority are disappointing. Florists or
tree peddlers tell their customers, "Oh,
yes, ma'm, they will flower this sum-
mer." This is deception. They will
have a few abortive flowers at the ends
of the shoots and make no wood to
flower the next year. Tell your cus-
tomers not to expect flowers the first
year, and that they must be cut back to
within a few eyes when first planted.
Then they will make strong growth and
next year will give an abundance of
splendid blooms, and for years to come,
if properly pruned.

Pruning Shrubs.

You will just now daily be asked to
send a man "to prune my shrubs,"
and difficult it is to get a man who
knows the difference between those
which should be pruned now and those
which should not be pruned ,until after
they have flowered.

An instance of the ignorance of this
was called to my attention in the shrub-
bery surrounding one of our large pub-
lic schools in the case of a lot of for-
sythia, the beautiful early-flowering
yellow blossom. . If that is cut back
hard in early spring, or before flower-
ing time, you get no flowers. Broadly
the rule is this: Shrubs that set their
flower buds the previous summer, like
the lilac, the forsythia, cydonia, tam-
arix and all our fruit trees, must not
be touched until they have flowered.
Then prune and they make a growth
and form flower buds for the following
year. The hybrid roses. Hydrangea
paniculata grandiflora, the althaea and
many others flower only on the current
year's growth, and these should be cut
back before growth starts in the
spring.

It would be a long chapter to tell you
about all the different flowering shrubs,

but just notice which flower on last
year's wood and those which flower on
the growth made the present summer,
and you will have learned a whole lot.

Sweet Peas.

With all our phenomenally mild win-
ter we are not more advanced than
after a severe winter. Winter not only
lingers in the lap of spring, but has
one arm tightly around her waist, as
much as to say, "I love you, dear
spring; do stop and coo with me a little
while. * ' / —

And this reminds me that I hope you
sowed sweet peas just as soon as the
ground was dry and workable. A little
frost does not hurt sweet peas. As
soon as they ^re up put brush on both
sides of the iow. There is nothing
equal to brush. Spread two inches of
stable litter on the ground between the
rows. It will not only be a fertilizer, but
it answers other purposes. You will not
tread the ground down to a hard sur-
face while picking the flowers, and you
can soak the ground without baking it,
and the two great essentials in making
sweet peas pay is to keep them well
vratered and keep the flowers constantly
picked.

With all annual plants, including our
great cereals, flowering and fruit bear-
ing is the final function of existence,
and when that is accomplished they per-
form the final duty of life, which is
death. William Scott.

MR. SIM^S CANDYTUFT.

Referring to Mr. Scott's note on
candytuft in the April 12 issue, I think
candytuft might be profitably grown in
winter in a house by itself, but not in
a house where other plants are grown,
as there is no other plant, to my knowl-
edge, that requires the same treatment.

To have candytuft in bloom through
the winter, I think that the middle of
August would be the best time to sow
the seed. I have always found that
the seed does best in a solid bed.

I have had the best results by trans-
planting the seedlings while very small,
with just the seed leaves, into a solid
bed, and then potting into 2%-inch pots
before they get much headway, as they
are hard to transplant unless done at
just the right time, and they should
be grown as cool as possible at that
stage. When well filled with roots they
can be planted out on a bench or solid
bed. I would prefer a bench for winter.
They stand quite a warm temperature
while making growth. When they show
color they can be grown quite cool
again. They require a very light house.
They will not do anything in a poor
house.

As far as variety goes, I have been
unable to see any difference between
The Empress, Giant White, hyacinth-
flowered, etc., such as are offered by
seedsmen. Buy any of these varieties
and grow them separate, and you will
not find any difference between them.

To get a good forcing candytuft re-
quires very careful selection, and this
does not pay at the price the seed is
offered. You will find that some
)\ill bloom quite early and others will
be four months later in blooming; but
with carefully selected seed, almost
every plant will come along about the
same time.

I have always grown a lot of candy-
tuft for Memorial day trade, and have

enormous lot of it. I have never any
trouble in timing the whole crop to a
day.

The variety which I have grown I ob-
tained originally in some seed of Empress
from a Boston seedsman. I have not tried
to sell the seed because a dollar's worth
to another grower in any other vicinity
would make it not worth while to grow.
In other words, I can sell all I can
grow at a fair price. With competition
it would have to be cut about half,
making it unprofitable all around. At
the time I sent Mr, Scott the plants
he mentions in the issue of April 12,
T had in mind the idea of sending it
out, and wanted the expression of some
growers as to its merits.

FORCING ETHERIZED PLANTS.

During the past winter C. I. Lewis
and J. E. Hewett have been carrying on
experiments in the horticultural depart-
ment at Cornell University to determine
the eflBciency of ether as a forcing agent.
Ether was tested by the Connecticut Ex-
periment Station in the forcing of rhu-
barb last year, and gave such promising
results that it was decided to test many
other varieties of plants.

Bulbs, shrubs and herbaceous plants
were tested. Some of the points to be
determined by these experiments were:
How long to expose the plants to the
action of the ether to obtain the best re-
sults; what plants can be successfully
etherized, and the use of ether in the

commercial forcing of the rhubarb and
asparagus for the early markets.

The plants for forcing should be ob-
tained in the fall, and should be placed
in a room where the temperature is as
near freezing as possible. Just before
it is time to etherize them, they should
be taken out and placed in a warm room
for a few hours, in order that they may
be as dry as possible.

Such bulbs as narcissi, tulips, hya-
cinths, Easter lilies and others, which
are in demand for cut flowers in the
winter, were tested. It was found that
the Easter lily bloomed three weeks be-
fore the plants which were not treated
with ether. The daffodils were in full
bloom before the unetherized plants
showed the buds.

Of the shrubs, the lilac gave the most
favorable results, as the plants exposed
to the ether bloomed a week or ten days
before those which were untreated. The
Japanese quince and the deutzias did not
give very marked results in favor of the
etherization, showing that there is a dif-
ference in the value of the treatment
according to the kind of plant, some
plants responding much more readily to
the treatment than others.

The Golden Glow and the aquilegias
were scarcely affected by the treatment,
but the spira;as showed a remarkable
effect. Some of the spiraeas exposed to
the ether came into bloom three weeks
before the ones forced by ordinary
method.

It will be of especial interest to the
market gardeners to know that etherized

MR. SIM'S CANDYTUFT.

Ii'eferring to Mr. Scott's note on
lamlytuft in tiie April VI issue, I think
candytuft might be profitably grown in
winter in a house by itself, but not in
n iiouse where other plants are grown,
as there is no other plant, to my knowl-
edge, that requires the same treatment.
To have candytuft in bloom through
the winter, I think that the middle of
August Avould be the best time to sow
the seed. I have always fouml that
tne seed does best in a solid bed.

1 liave had the best results by trans-
Iilanting the seedlings while very .small,
with just the seed leaves, into a solid
lied, and then potting into 2i-j-inch pots
liefore they get much headway, as they
are hard to transplant unless done at
just the right time, and they should
I'C grown as cool as pnssible^ at that
st;ige. When well filled with roots they
■an be planted out on a bench or solid
bed. I would prefer a l)ench for winter.
They .stand quite a \\nrm temperature
v.hile making growth. When they show
t'olor tliev can be grown quite cool
a;.Min. They require a very light house.
Ihey will not do anything in a jioor
house.

As far as variety goes, I have been
I "able to see any difference lietween
iio Empress, Giant White, hyacinth-

'id grow them separate, and you will

rhubarb was ready to cut five days ear-
lier than the other, and what is still
more important, the etherized product
gave a much larger proportion of salable
stalks, making the treatment from a
commercial viewpoint doubly valuable.

It is not difficult to treat the plants
with the ether, the chief care being to
construct a suitable box. The one used
at Cornell was an air-tight, galvanized
-iron box three feet three inches by two
feet six inches. The box was fitted with
two trays, which made it possible to
have three tiers of plants undergoing
the exposure at once.

The trays should be made of heavy
wire mesh, in order that the ether may
penetrate equally to every part of the
plant at once. In exposing such plants
as the Golden Glow and aquilegia to the
ether as much dirt as possible should be
shaken from the roots, in order to give
the ether free access to the roots.

The cover fits down over the box for
about five inches, resting on a flange of
thick felt, which renders it air-tight.
"When all the provisions are complete.

the ether is poured on a . small ball of
felt, which is dropped in the box; the
cover is clamped down and the plants
left from twenty-four to forty-eight
hours.

When the plants are taken from the
box they should be thoroughly aired be-
fore they are placed in the forcing
house.

The subject of the etherization of
plants is only just begun, as these are
almost the first experiments that have
been made in this country. It promises,
however to open an entirely new field in
the realm of horticulture, and especially
in the florists' and the market gardeners'
line.

The specimens grow with increased
rapidity, and the flowers are in many
cases more perfect and attain a fuller
maturity than those grown by the ordi-
nary method. At the same time the
plant has the other and moat valuable
advantage to the man who is growing
for commercial purposes, that he is en-
abled to be from one to three weeks
ahead of the season.

Planting in the Field.

After this job is once begun, it should
be put through just as quickly as pos-
sible, and the work done properly. If
you plant out only a few thousand and
only one or two men work at it, it means
merely to stick to it and work as rapidly
as you can. But if you plant out an acre
or more and several men work on the
job, then you want to inaugurate some
system under which each one will have
his part to perform, and in the perform-
ing of which he can work as rapidly as he
is capable of doing without interfering
with any of the others. If your force is
divided properly, none will have to wait
for the others. One man should dump
out as many plants as two can plant and
these three, with a boy to drop the plants
along the line and another boy to wheel
the trays full of plants out to the field,
ought to set out a good batch each day.

As I have said before, we have a one-
horse hillside plow, and each day plow
and harrow as much as we expect to
plant that day, which gives us freshly
turned soil to set the plants in. We get
more and better work, and it is better
for the plants. How close you plant will
depend largely on how much ground you
have and how you wish to cultivate them.
Those who have large farms and set out
many thousands of plants and intend to
cultivate with horsepower, of course must
set their rows two to three feet apart,
but most growers plant closer than that
and use hand cultivators, which we think
is the most satisfactory.

There are several ways of planting,
and each has its advocates. One way is
to plant in rows sixteen inches apart and
eight inches apart in the row. These can
be cultivated only one way and will have
to be hoed between the plants. The
other way is to use a marker with teeth

twelve inches apart. You plant in rows
across the field lengthwise, but before
you begin planting you draw this marker
across the width of several rows so the
plants will be set in straight rows across
the field crosswise as well as lengthwise.
The rows to be twelve inches apart, too.
This method enables you to cultivate both
ways and has some advantages in that
respect. An acre of ground planted in
this way will hold 43,081 plants.

When setting the plants use a trowel
and be sure the soil is pulverized. Set
each plant just deep enough so the ball
is covered with soil, and after pressing
well, cover again with loose soil to pre-
vent the soil from baking and from dry-
ing out. Of course you use a line to
plant by. If the plants are from pots
and are planted properly, they will stand

several days without rain without injury,
but if you have the water service close it
will pay you to run a pipe out to the
field and water them a few times until
they get a good hold.

Every evening before quitting time
have one of the men go through the day's
planting with the hand cultivator to
loosen up the soil where it has been
tramped down.

Don't dump out too many plants
ahead of the planters, and when they
are dumped out keep them out of 'the
sun and draught until you are ready to
plant them. It will surprise you how
rapidly they will dry out when out of the
pots. Be sure they are not dry when
you dump them.

Be sure the plants are clear of insects,
too, because if they are infested with
spider or aphis when you plant them
out the chances are you will have trouble
before the summer is over, and these
pests are harder to fight out in the field
than in the house. If there is disease,
pick off all the affected leaves as you
dump them; they will stand more chance
of getting rid of it then.

CARNATION BEDS.

We are to grow carnations near Lon-
don, for the Covent Garden market and
for stock. We are to plant a house 300
feet long with the American varieties
and want to know if they would do plant-
ed on raised drainage composed of climb-
ers about a foot thick. This would come
much cheaper to us than erecting
benches. Anxious.

Some six years ago we made our first
experiments with this kind of beds and
we found them so satisfactory that we
now grow all our carnations on beds con-
structed as I shall explain. In making
our experiments we constructed one bed
5x175 in a house which had three raised
benches. We planted this bed with the
same varieties that were plantea on the
raised bench just across the walk. We
did not keep count of the number of
blooms cut, nor the grading, but the ap-
pearance of the plants aU through the
season was such as to leave no doubt as
to which style would give us the best re-
sults. As fast as the raised benches
needed replacing we took them out and

put in these beds, whicli we now use
exclusively. Many large growers have
adopted them in the last few years and
each season adds new converts to this
style of bed.

It has been argued that these beds will
not give as heavy cuts as the raised
bench during winter, but we do not find
it so. We find that, as with the raised
bench, the midwinter cut depends largely
on the way the plants get away after
planting in the fall. After the plants
become established their natural tendency
is to shoot up and bloom and it will take
no longer for them to throw the bud on
these beds than on the bench. The old
idea that the plants are benefited by
having air under the roots is disproven,
in my estimation. The harm done the
plants during warm weather outweighs
all the good that could possibly result
from it. The only good feature you can
find in the raised bench is in the fact
that being shallow facilitates drying out
during dark, damp weathei'. That is
what primarily led up to the adoption of
that kind of bench. Certainly it is a
great improvement over the still older
method of solid bed without drainage,
for certain crops at least.

Right here let me remind you that I know
of no class who are greater imitators than
the growers of flowers and plants. You
go to a successful grower 's place and see
a fine lot of stock and straightway you
conclude that his method of culture is
the only correct one, and when you get
home you do your very best to imitate
him and to duplicate Ms success. If he
plants on solid beds you will tear out
your benches and plant on solid beds. If
his houses are built with the short span
to the south, your next houses will be
built the same way. If he taboos com-
mercial fertilizers you will cut them out
too.

A wise grower many years ago found
that the frequent syringing that was
necessary to keep his roses free from
spider had a tendency to keep his roses
too wet and he conceived the idea that a
raised bench which would allow evapora-
tion at top and bottom would facilitate
drying out the soil. It worked wonders,
as we all know, and so because it worked
well on the roses, he adopted it alto-
gether. Other growers seeing his suc-
cess, of course followed suit. That was
going from one extreme to the other,
which is so often done in trying to im-
prove upon methods of growing. While
it did improve the roses most wonder-
fully, I do not know how much it may
have helped to improve carnations. But
as they syringed carnations more fre-

quently those days than we do now, it
may have helped them some also. How-
ever, in cases where little or no water
reaches the soil except what is intended,
there can be no benefit from this more
rapid evaporation. Every plant of this
character likes good drainage that will
allow all excessive moisture to drain off
and when you provide that, you have
produced the ideal condition.

It is not necessary that the soil become
dry and require water every so often, so
long as it does not become excessively
raoist. When you water, you water that
which needs it to keep the soil in such
condition as you know is ideal, not be-
cause it is so many days or hours since
you watered last. Whether a day or a
week or two weeks pass between water-
ing matters not, so long as there has
been no excessive dryness. In fact you
will find that the less frequently you
find it necessary to water, the more
evenly the soil will keep, and the better
the plants will like it. During the past
winter we have had a good example.

Last summer we built a new house over
plants that were set right in the ground,
which was laid out in beds five feet wdde.
These plants .were not moved at all and
without any extra drainage except a well
drained sandy loam, they have bloomed
freely all winter, and there was no let-up
during the winter months. Our very
finest blooms were cut from these plants.
To facilitate the work, however, we will
put in beds this summer, as we have in
the other houses.

The cost of construction is very much
lower on this style of beds than on the
raised beds, which is still more noticeable
when you consider the greater perma-
nency of these beds. This, however,

should hardly be taken into considera-
tion. It is the style of bed that will
produce the largest number and the high-
est grade of blooms that you want to put
in. If we were not convinced that with
these beds we secure at least as large
cuts and at least as high a grade of
blooms, we certainly would not have made
the change. It would not take long to
lose more than the difference in the cost
of construction.

I do not know whether the differences
in the climate in England will have any
effect on these beds, but I hardly think
it would. It is not many years since car-
nations were grown entirely in pots in
England, and no doubt you will find the
average grower over there prejudiced
against this style of beds, just as they
Avere here. In constructing these beds
you can use your own judgment as to
material, etc. If you are sure you will
like them and want to build to last, then
build your sides of concrete six inches
wide at the base and two inches at the
top. Make the side next to the walk
straight up and down and let the inside
of the wall flare. This will last a life-
time, but is not so satisfactory in some
respects as the way we shall construct our
beds this summer. We propose to use
uprights made of 1-inch pipe, set four
feet apart in concrete, and 1-inch peeky
cypress boards for the sides. These up-
rights will last as long as the house, or
loriger, and the cypress will last many
years, and there will be the advantage of
being able to nail to the boards anything
you find necessary in the way of sup-
ports, etc. Wood posts should not be
used unless you use cedar or some equal-
ly lasting material. If you raise the
sides to eighteen inches you will find
that about right for working after plant-
ing. Leave four inches of space for soil
above the cinders. I would also advise
you to put the large clinkers at the bot-
tom and cover with finer cinders or a
layer of sand. You will see the wisdom
in this when you change the soil. If the
cinders are dry, be sure you wet them
thoroughly before putting on the soil.

Finally, I would say that a 300-foot
house is rather a large batch to experi-
ment with, and I would be inclined to
raise a part of the beds and see which
turned out best. Then you would know
positively what you were about in the
future. It is always well to look before
you leap. A. F. J. Baue.

west, especially in Oklahoma and Texas.
These are the localities in which the
most rapid business advance has been
made in all linos in the past few years
and the greenhouse men are just begin-
ning to reap the rewards which always
come as soon as a community has become
settled down after the stress of pioneer
work. When wealth comes the florist
always gets Ms share.

Very much greenhouse building is go-
ing on in the southwest. Most of the
establishments are small as yet, but sure
to expand rapidly. One of the places
■which will serve as a model is that of
J. J. Nussbaumer, at San Angelo, Tex.
In this issue are reproductions of photo-
graphs showing three views of his houses.
One picture shows a view from the
street, another the interior and one of
the houses devoted to carnations, with

space under the gutter and at the ends
occupied by baskets of Sprengeri and
odd lots of miscellaneous stock. The
third picture shows a few of the frames
along the rear of the houses, which add
not a little to the capacity of the estab-
lishment, for it is possible to bring
along here much stock and have it ready
to go on the benches in good shape when
space is available after a busy season
like Easter.

Mr. Nussbaumer finds it pays him well
to keep his place in spick and span order.
Neatness is his watchword and his place
will compare favorably with any of its
size in older communities. Mr. Nuss-
baumer is a native of Illinois and knew
the business as followed north before he
removed to Texas. He feels that de-
velopment has only just begun in the
business in his locality.

EXCHANGE OF ROSE STOCK.

Eef erring to C. L. "Washburn's pro-
posal to exchange rose plants with grow-
ers in other parts of the country, with
a view to studying the effect upon con-
stitution and productiveness, A. Faren-
wald. Hillside, Pa., writes Mr. Washburn
in part as follows:

"Your suggestion about changing
plants with growers wide apart is good.
Without doubt it will have a good in-
fluence on the vigor of our rose plants.

"Since I started for myself I have
been in the habit of buying all my
plants each year. That is for eight
years now, mostly Beauties and Liber-
ties, and my success with them I believe
is partly due to this change.

"I do not myself propagate, at least
not enough to replant all my benches.
If I happen to have a bad corner on a
bench somewhere, I have used it for
such a purpose, but most of my stock is
bought.

' ' Liberties in the past have done re-
markably with me, so well that I have
planted nearly all that sort. I have this
year only one house of Beauties, but
Eichmond seems to have taken a strong
hold on the buyer, and I am about to
put up some glass to hold 10,000 plants.

" If I were growing Brides or kindred
varieties, I would gladly exchange stock
with you, but my Liberties and Beauties
I will leave in this year, so I will have
nothing but Eichmond in young plants,
and of them I have your stock and they
are doing splendidly, beating all others
I bought from around here, and they
will without doubt continue fine."

ANTS ON ROSES.

I would like to learn how to destroy
black ants. They ar» making ravages in
my carnation and rose beds in the green-
house. I have a bed of American Beauty
roses, but the ants seem to get the best
of them; they stick on the rose buds
and eat them all up. I looked all through
the house, but could find no ants' nest.
Please tell me some way to get rid of
them. A. D.

Black ants, though frequently numer-
ous in rose and carnation houses, seldom
cause much damage. In this case they
seem to have acquired some very bad
habits and should be banished at once.

Their nests are usually in the crevices
of the walls and are difficult to find and
reach by any destructive agent.

Corrosive sublimate and sweet oil
mixed and used as a paint along the
edges of the sideboards, on the walls and
anywhere the ants are in the habit of
traveling will banish them. A liberal
use of kerosene emulsion, gasoline or
turpentine will also cause them to va-
cate. ElBES.

BEST FORCING ROSES.

What are the best six or eight roses
when grafted for florists' forcing pur-
poses? J. & P.

This inquiry is not sufficiently explicit,
as it is not stated whether the roses are
to be forced on the benches for cut
flowers or in pots for spring sales. As-
suming that forcing on benches is in-
tended, then the commonly grown varie-
ties are Bride, Bridesmaid, Liberty,
Eichmond, Chatenay, Golden Gate and
American Beauty. To this list might
be added KiUarney, Wellesley and one
or two others not so generally grown.
Of these many growers advocate the use
of grafted plants in the case of Bride, j

Bridesmaid and Liberty, while Eich-
mond, Killarney and others are occasion-
ally seen on Manetti stocks. E. H.

RICHMOND.

Those growers who found themselves
with surpluses of young stock of Eich-
mond rose report that since the recent
cut in prices the sale of stock has be-
come very brisk. Prices are now at
about the bottom and likely to go up
again very soon. Every rose grower Tsho
had not already tried Eichmond are
now buying and the moderate price will
have served the purpose of giving a
good rose a wider distribution than
would have otherwise been possible for
it, and a more general distribution than
probably any other rose ever received in
its second year.'

Not all the growers who hold young
stock of Eichmond have been willing to
cut the price in two. There is one lot
in particular, of 20,000 plants, which is
being held in anticipation that after the
bargain sales are over there will be a
steady demand at more profitable prices.

GASSER'S KAISERIN.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph taken at the establishment
of the J. M. Gasser Co., of Cleveland,
O. The greenhouses are located at Eocky
Eiver, and the one shown is a 300-foot
house of Kaiserin. ^hese were planted
early last February, using dormant
plants. They were started into growth
the latter part of February and the en-
tire house broke simultaneously. The
photograph was taken April 17, at which
time the plants were just beginning to
give a crop which for quantity and qual-
ity will exceed anything in the previous
experience of the Gasser establishment,
where good crops are a rule and where
quality is usually of the best. Not only
are the buds large and perfect, but the
foliage on the plants is a matter for
congratulation with the grower.

The Gasser Co. is one of the most pro-
gressive firms in a state which is rapidly
becoming one of the most important in
our trade. Ohio shows a very great in-
crease in the extent of greenhouse glass,
in the money invested, in the business
transacted, and in all matters relating to
the expansion of our industry. The
Gasser Co. is not in any particular be-
hind those newer to the business. Their
plant is modern in every respect and
nothing is left undone which would in
any way facilitate the economical pro-
duction of the best grade of stock. At
the store in Cleveland both retail and
wholesale trade is done, the latter end
of the business having recently increased
very materially.

PRUNING RAMBLER ROSES.

No rival class of roses has achieved
anything like the popularity of the climb-
ing, hardy multifloras, commonly known
as ramblers. Crimson Eambler is every-
where highly prized, and the beautiful
new Philadelphia Eambler will soon
bloom in thousands of homes throughout
the land. Wherever seen it is admired
for the brilliancy and lasting quality of
its countless perfect blossoms. Coming
ten days before Crimson Eambler, it does
not compete with that treasure, but is
appreciated for its own special merits.
There are yellow, white and pink-flow-
ered ramblers, but though useful where
variety of effect is sought, they are
scarcely all that can be desired in sub-
stance and finish of blossom.

House of Kaiserin Roses atyhe Establishment of the J. M. Gasser Co., Cleveland.

The question of pruning these tall
and rapid growing roses has been much
debated, and many experiments have
been tried. At last we have learned what
to do — or rather what not to do — as the
best treatment is to let them pretty
much alone, says W. Van Fleet in the
Rural New Yorker. Let them grow at
will, only directing, and training the
canes enough to secure reasonably se-
cure attachments to the trellis or other
support. They scarcely need pruning for
several years after planting, except to
cut out any weak or useless canes and
nip off winter-killed wood after growth
has started in spring. It is a great mis-
take to cut out the old canes yearly in
the manner of blackberries and rasp-
berries. Rose canes normally live sev-
eral years and the ramblers often pro-
duce the finest clusters of bloom on
growths two or three years old.

After thcr third year the vitality of
the canes diminishes; they become
twiggy and the bark turns light in color.
They should then neatly be cut away at
the base or just above a plump bud or
promising new sprout. Interfering
branches and twiggy growths as well as
weak wood generally should be cleared
away and the end of the younger canes
slightly shortened, but as a rule the nat-
ural growth should be little disturbed.
By trifling management new canes can
be started each year after the third sea-
son to replace the failing ones.

Greenhouse Beating.

HOT SPRING FOR HEATER.

Could one use water at 150 to 160
uegrces to heat a greenhouse? How
much extra piping would it take? Would

a windy climate be detrimental to stock
grown in the house?

I know of a hot spring where the
water is at the heat mentioned and can
probably get the use of it. Coal is $7.50
per ton here in Oregon. There is
another hot spring where the water is
almost boiling. The wind there blows
incessantly and blows almost hard enough
to blow a greenhouse in. R. C. E.

Yes, water at 160 degrees can be suc-
cessfully used to heat a greenhouse.
Several years ago I was interested in a
similar problem in South Dakota, where
the warm flow from an artesian well was
used for a similar purpose. In Alaska
hot springs are taken advantage of for
forcing vegetables. The only way in
which I can answer the question in re-
gard to the amount of piping necessary
is to answer a definite question. That
is, compute the piping necessary for a
house of some particular size. One prob-
lem which you will have to consider is
how to secure a circulation of the warm
water through the houses. A plan for
utilizing water of low heat is to cause
it to flow slowly through a broad open
trough constructed of boards or metal,
the trough to be about as wide as the
benches and to flow entirely around three
sides of the house if possible. This
scheme may be cheaper than piping.

VACUUM STEAM HEATING.

The business man today is confronted
with problems of which the business man
of fifty years ago knew practically noth-
ing. Competition grows keener each day
with the result that the successful man
spends half of his time in studying the
two great problems, how to decrease the
cost of production and how to decrease
the expense or waste necessary in the
proper conduct of his business. One of

the greatest sources of expense to the
florist is the proposition of properly
heating his greenhouses. His boiler,
like the insatiable monster of old,
stands with angry maw continually call-
ing for more and more fuel, until it
seems to the man who is paying the bill
that practically all the profit he is sup-
posed to make in his business is being
turned over to the coal men. But prog-
ress is the watchword of the American
people and while the florist is busily en-
gaged in endeavoring to perfect the fol-
iage and flowers of the plants under his
care, manufacturers of heating appli-
ances are also busy in the effort to so
perfect methods of heating as to give
the user the maximum result with the
least expenditure for fuel.

While it is a fact that all users of
heating apparatuses are interested in
any appliance that will tend to eliminate
the unnecessary waste of fuel, the florist
is much more vitally interested in this
direction, because the cost of fuel is such
a very large item in his expense account.
There is no question but what the strong
trend in modem low pressure steam heat-
ing for many classes of buildings is to-
ward the vacuum system. It has long
been a recognized fact by heating engin-
eers that the ideal system of low pres-
sure steam heating is one in which the
apparatus is so constructed that the same
can be operated either under pressure or
under vacuum at the will of the operator.

It is a commonly accepted fact that
water boils and generates steam at 212
degrees, but it is not so generally known
that the real boiling point of water when
pressure is entirely removed from the
same is 98 degrees Fahrenheit. The rea-
son why water does not boil until it
reaches a temperature of 212 degrees is
because the air which surrounds the
earth's surface exerts a pressure, at the
sea level, of 14.7 pounds. If we remove

J7I2

this pressure by exhausting the air from
a vessel containing water and then seal
this vessel we can boil the water con-
tained in the same at a temperature of
98 degrees, and this water will give off
vapor or steam while boiling exactly the
same as water does when boiling in an
open vessel at a temperature of 212 de-
grees. As we increase the pressure we
also raise the point at which water boils.

It is a well known fact that it is pos-
sible to practically exhaust the air from
a vessel by filling that vessel with steam,
then sealing the same and allowing the
steam to condense. Steam occupies a
space 1,700 times greater than the water
from which it emanates; consequently
when steam, filling a vessel, is condensed
to water, as the water occupies a space
1,700 times less than the steam, the
space occupied by the steam will be left
a void or vacuum, provided the air is
prevented from returning into this space.
This phenomenon has long been a recog-
nized fact by leading heating engineers,
but the diflS.culty has been to find a prac-
tical device which would permit the air
to be expelled from the system, auto-
matically preventing the emission of
steam when the apparatus was operated
under pressure, and then automatically
preventing the ingress of air to the ap-
paratus when steam pressure was re-
duced below that of atmosphere.

The one great objection to the ordi-

short time became stone cold and the
compartments in which they are placed
become more or less chilly, according to
the condition of the outside temperature.

By the use of the vacuum system this
condition is entirely changed. If the
job is made tight in other respects, the
appliances will freely vent the coils of
all air when pressure on the boiler regis-
ters one pound or over, automatically
closing when steam reaches the valves,
and when pressure goes off, by auto-
matically preventing the ingress of air
to the system, the coils in connection
with the boiler keep warm for hours
after pressure is off.

The economy resultant in the use of
the vacuum system is because of the
ability to control the temperature of the
heating coils to just the temperature re-
quired to combat the outside tempera-
ture. The greater the difference be-
tween the temperature of the steam in
the heating coils and the temperature of
the air in the room being heated, the
greater the condensation, and conse-
quently the greater the demand for fuel
to supply the called for steam to take
the place of the condensed steam. If,
for instance, the temperature of the
steam in the heating coils in one case is
227 degrees (five pounds pressure) and
the maintained temperature in the
heated room is 70 degrees, it stands to
reason that there will be a much greater

Oscar Lion.

nary low pressure system of steam heat-
ing is the fact that when the fires are
banked for the night or allowed to run
low daring a spell of mild weather, the
coils soon begin to cool and in a very

condensation of steam in this case than
there would be in the case where the
temperature of the steam was 191 de-
grees (ten inches of vacuum) and the
maintained temperature in the heated

room, 70 degrees. In one case there is a
difference of 157 degrees between the
two extremes, while in the other case
there is a difference of 121 degrees.

To give an idea of the saving in fuel
a test was made of the Norwall system
of vacuum steam heating on a small
plant using gas as fuel. The following
table shows the consumption of gas per
hour under pressure and vacuum, the
temperature of the room in which radia-
tors were placed being maintained at 70
degrees during the test.

In colls. Gas used. Vacuum.

212 degrees, 60 feet per hour O In.

201 degrees, 60 feet per boor 6 In.

190 degrees, 89 feet per hour 10% In.

180 degrees, 29^ feet per hour 14^ In.

172 degrees, 27^ feet per hour 17 In.

157 degrees, 24 feet per hour 21 In.

The economy shown in the above table
between the use of sixty feet of gas per
hour and the use of twenty-four feet of
gas per hour, the temperature of the
room still being maintained at 70 de-
grees, is occasioned by the fact that
when the consumption of sixty feet of
gas per hour was necessary to maintain
70 degrees in the room, the outside tem-
perature was sufficiently cold to demand
the use of this amount of fuel. When
twenty-four feet of gas per hour with
157 degrees of heat in the heating coils
was sufficient to maintain 70 degrees
in the room, the outside temperature had
moderated to such a degree as to render
the use of any greater amount of fuel
an unnecessary waste. The economy,
therefore, to be derived from the use of
the vacuum system is the curtailment or
absolute prevention of the waste of fuel
resultant in overheating.

The ability to control temperatures
within the apparatus to suit the varia-
ble conditions of outside temperature
must of necessity mean economy in the
operation of the plant, both from the
standpoint of fuel and the standpoint of
labor in the care of the apparatus.

Oeo. D. Hoftman.

THE RBBON BUSINESS.

The florists of America use a million
dollars' worth of ribbons every year. It
is the estimate of Oscar Lion, head of
Lion & Co., New York, who ought to
know. Mr. Lion has been in the ribbon
business for seventeen years. He started
as a boy in a ribbon bouse and did
errands for $2.50 a week. By 1899 he
had progressed from alpha to omega in
the ribbon business and in that year or-
ganized the firm of Lion & Wertheimer,
which came to enjoy a large patronage
from florists. Eealizing the possibilities
for an exclusive florists' ribbon house, a
few months ago he organized the firm
of Lion & Co., with headquarters on
Spring street. The mills are at Pater-
son, N. J., equipped with the most
modern facilities for making such rib-
bons as the florists' business requires.
In making his estimate that a million
dollars is not less than the value of the
ribbons the florists use each year, Mr.
Lion remarks that it is the purpose of
his house to merit, and eventually se-
cure, the major part of this business.

•facts and its fiction so that a reader
may easily mistake one for the other, we
find the following:

There Is reason to expoct that before long
new and Improved kinds of lettuce will be on
the market. The Government Plant Bureau has
been engaged recently In crossing some of the
cultivated varieties — a thing hitherto supposed
to be Impossible — the most important object In
view being to secure types that are specially
adapted for growing under glass.

What Is wanted Is lettuce that will ripen
quickly, head readily and be proof against dis-
eases. Already a number of new type* of
superior excellence have been obtained and
"field trials" have been made of some of them,
the best plants being picked out for the purpose
of propagation. Hitherto gardeners have been
obliged to depend altogetlier upnn snch selection
for the Improvement of their lettuces, but the
opportunity of breeding them will open up new
possibilities.

It Is an interesting and rather curious fact
that lettuce Is the only electric crop, so to
speak, that Is commercially successful. For a
number of years past, lettuces have been grown
by the help of electric light, whhh Is made to
supplement the sunshine of short vinter days
so effectively as to render possible the raising
of three or four crops under glass during the
cold season.

TOMATOES.

With the brighter days and more dry-
ing atmosphere a much more plentiful
supply of water will be needed to keep
the plants in a healthy, growing condi-
tion. Not only is more moisture at the
roots needed, but more atmospheric mois-
ture is also necessary. The amount of
atmospheric moisture must be judiciously
regulated. In this the weather condi-
tions must be taken into consideration.
On bright, warm days it would be hard
to overcharge the atmosphere, as it would
be necessary to have a good deal of
air on the houses to keep the tempera-
ture sufficiently low, but the moisture
should be so applied that it will be
pretty well dried out before the time
the house has to be shut down, so as
not to have too humid an atmosphere
over night. On dull, cloudy days little
sprinkling of the passageways or benches
will be needed. On such days there is
usually sufficient humidity in the air so
that it is unnecessary to create any arti-
ficially in the house.

On the other hand, an atmosphere over-
charged with moisture is productive of
fungous diseases, which often prove quite
troublesome to the grower of tomatoes
indoors. A disease known as spot is the
most prevalent, more so in the late
spring and early summer months than
through the winter. This is undoubted-
ly a fungus, which breaks out in yellow
spots, usually on the older leaves, and
if not checked will soon spread and de-
stroy the whole leaf. The regulation of
atmospheric moisture, as I have stated
above, is one of the best preventive
measures, and a dusting with lime and
sulphur mixed in about equal portions
and applied when the foliage is dry is
good for preventing the spread of the
disease. We have tried Bordeaux mix-
ture with fair success, but it leaves the

plants unsightly and we have not found
it any more efficacious in preventing the
spread of the disease than the lime and
sulphur. W. S. Croydon.

With the
Advertising Man

It is time to commence the spring
bedding business. What are you doing
to get your share?

Yes, I know you are growing the stock,
but what about selling it?

Get busy with your handbills, sending
them out every Friday.

Now, follow up this advertising by
going to every house in town, or in your
neigliborhood if the town is too large a
field. Work evenings if you have to, but
get after the orders.

I want to impress on you the neces-
sity of getting at it now — today — or the
other fellow will get ahead of you.

Don't stop because someone turned
you down, or because Mrs. Smith only
wants six tomato plants. Take her order
and its "dollars to doughnuts" that be-
fore you are ready to deliver this small
order she will want something more.

An<l remember, you can never tell who
is going to make a good customer, for
j)eople buy plants and flowers spasmodi-
cally and it pays to humor them.

While you are at it, see if you can't
get three or four signboards about 6x8
feet, in prominent locations around*-
town.

You can make them yourself, and have
a sign painter do the painting,

I want to impress upon you the ad-
visability of systematic advertising, no
matter whether you spend much or little.

Form a plan and then stick to it.

from which it emanates; ct)nsequently
when steam, fdling a vessel, is condensed
to water, as the wyter occupies a space
1,700 times less than the steam, the
space occupied by the steam will be left
a void or vacuum, provided the air is
prevented from returning into tliis space.
This phenomeno)! has long been a recog-
nized fact by leading heating engineers,
but the difficulty lias been to find a prac-
tical device which would permit the air
to be expelled from the system, auto-
niaticallv pre\ eating the emission of
steam when the ajijiaratus was o|)(>rated
under pressure, and then automatically
j>reventing the ingress of air to the ajv
j)aratus when steam pressure was re-
duced below tliat of atnuisphere.

The one great oltjection to the ordi-

short tin^e became stone cold and the
compartments in which they are placed
beci)me moie or less chilly, according to
the condition of the outside temperature.

liv the use of the vacuum system this
condition is entirely changed. If the
Job is made tight in other respects, the
appliances will freely vent the coils of
•ill air when pressure on the boiler regis-
ters one jiound or over, automatically
closing wlien steam reaches the valves,
and when })ressuro goes off, by auto-
matically preventing the ingress of air
to the system, the coils in connection
with the boiler keep warm for hours
after pressure is off.

The economy resultant in the use of
the vacuum system is because of the
ability to control the temperature of the
heating coils to just the temperature re-
(juii'cd to combat the outside tempera-
ture. The greater the difference be-
tuxen the temperature of the steam in
the heating coils and the temperature of
the air in the room being heated, the
greater the condensation, and conse-
quently the greater the demand for fuel
t(i supply the called for steam to take
the place of the condensed steam. If,
for instance, the teaiperatnre of the
steam in the lieating coils in one cflse is
•-'■_'7 degi'ces (five yiounds pressure) and
tin' maiiitained temperature in the
heated I'ooni is 70 degrees, it stands to
i-eason that tln-re will be a much greater

Oscar Lion.

nary low p^essl^re system of steam heat-
ing is the fact that when the fires are
banked for the night or allowed to run
low during a spell of mild weather, the
coils soon begin to cool and in a very

condensation of steam in this case than
there would be in the case where the
temperature of the -team was 191 de-
grees (ten inches of vacuum) and the
maint.'tined ti'mi>erature in the heated

room, 70 degrees. In one case there is a
difference of 157 degrees between the
two extremes, while in the other case
there is a^ difference of 121 degrees.

To give an idea of the saving in fuel
a test was made of the Norwall system
of vacuum steam heating on a small
plant using gas as fuel. The following
table shows the consumption of gas per
hour under pressure and vacuum, the
temperature of the room in which radia-
tors were placed being maintained at 70
degrees during the test.

In colls. Gas used. Vacuum.

212 degrees, 60 feet per hour 0 In.

201 degrees, 50 feet per hour 6 In.

190 degrees, 39 feet per hour 10% In.

180 degrees, 29% feet per hour 14% in.

172 degrees, 27% feet per hour 17 In.

157 degrees, 24 feet per hour 21 In.

The economy shown in the above table
between the use of sixty feet of gas per
hour and the use of twenty-four feet of
gas per hour, the temperature of the
room still being maintained at 70 de-
grees, is occasioned by the fact that
when the consumption of sixty feet of
gas per hour was necessary to maintain
70 degrees in the room, the outside tem-
perature was sufficiently cold to demand
the use of this amount of fuel. When
twenty-four feet of gas per hour with
157 degrees of heat in the heating coils
was sufficient to maintain 70 degrees
in the room, the outside temperature had
moderated to such a degree as to render
the use of any greater amount of fuel
an unnecessary waste. The economy,
therefore, to be derived from the use of
the vacuum system is the curtailment or
absolute prevention of the waste of fuel
resultant in overheating.

The ability to control temperatures
within the apparatus to suit the varia-
ble conditions of outside temperature
must of necessity mean economy in the
operation of the plant, both from the
standpoint of fuel and the standpoint of
labor in the care of the apparatus.

THE RIBBON BUSINESS.

The florists of America ufie a million
dollars' worth of ribbons every year. It
is the estimate of Oscar Lion, head of
Lion & Co., Xew York, who ought to
know. Mr. Lion has been in the ribbon
business for seventeen years. He started
as a boy in a ribbon house and did
errands for .$2.50 a week. By 1899 he
had progres.sed from alpha to omega in
the ribbon business and in that year or-
ganized the firm of I, ion & Wertheimer,
which came to enjoy a large patronage
from florists. Idealizing the possibilities
for an exclusive florists' ribbon house, a
few months ago he organized the firm
of Lion & Co.. with headquarters on
Spring street. The mills are at Pater-
son. N. ,T.. I 'quipped with the mo.st
modern facilities for making such rib-
bons as the florists' business requires.
In making Iiis estimate that a million
dollars is not less than the value of the
ribbons the florists use each year, Mr.
I>ion reniark< that it is the purpose ot
his house 1o merit, and eventually se-
cure, the major ]>art of this luisiness.

CUT IT OUT.

Advertisers are urged to cut out of
their advertisements in the Review any
items of stock on which thej are running
low. Remember that the Review is
printed every Wednesday. Write so that
your letter will be received on Tuesday,
directing that items nearly sold out be
omitted. Don't wait until you are com-
pletely sold out; orders will keep com-
ing. Don't neglect it. You will be at
no greater trouble to change your ad-
vertMement in the Review than you will
be to send back money — besides, you
know how it would disappoint you to
order stock and a week or so later, in-
stead of getting the goods, have the
money returned. Then, if the same
stock iB listed in the advertisement in
the next Review, what would you think t
Cut it out I "*

ZONAL GERANIUMS.

Will you kindly tell me what causes
my zonal geraniums to turn red? Hav-
ing had the time, we potted them into
2 14 -inch pots from sand, then into 3-
inch. They are now in S^^-inch pots and
seem to be at a standstill. The foliage
is turning red instead of being a healthy
green color. The soil is old sod with a
little sand and one part dried cow ma-
nure to four parts of soil. We soak them
when we water, but we first let them
get a little dry. The plants are not
crowded. Jean Viaud and S. A. Nutt
seem mostly to be affected. They were
shifted as needed. C. U.

Your treatment of the plants, also the
soil could not be improved upon, unless
something has happened that you do not
state. We have often seen the leaves of
some varieties of geraniums turn red
and never thought it a sign of ill health.
A sudden drop in temperature will pro-
duce it. Your treatment, as you state it,
is about ideal, and if you keep them
steadily at 45 to 50 degrees night tem-
perature and with plenty of fresh air
and sunlight they will be sure to grow
out of it and assume their normal color-
ing. W. S.

WINDOW BOXES.

The National Council of Ho'rticul-
ture says the use of window boxes is
not to be recommended extensively ex-
cept in crowded down-town districts,
apartment houses and hotels, where they
are effective in relieving the monotony
of otherwise bare windows and verandas.
Where it is possible, however, to grow
the hardy types of climbers in the
ground they will be found far superior
to boxes planted in the window or on
the veranda.

A window box is usually eight inches
to a foot in depth and the same in
width, the length varying. It should
never be less than six inches deep. It
should be made of seven-eighths-inch lum-
ber and should conform in shape to the
window or veranda to which it is at-
tached.

It is important to see that the box
has good drainage. Holes of good size
should be drilled in the bottom about
eighteen inches apart and these covered
with some loose material before putting
in the soil. Use rather light soil, and
preferably that which has been made
upen with plenty of cow manure. Heavy
clay soil has a tendency to become hard
and unfit for plants if allowed to become
at all dry.

Two excellent fertilizers for window
boxes are bone meal and bone shavings,
especially the latter, which should be
placed in the bottom of the box and
thoroughly mixed with the soil. It will
fit the plants later in the season when
they most need it.

INFORMATION WANTED.

What is the best length, breadth and
height for a proposed rose house to be
about 28x250, with two feet of glass on
lx)th north and south walls? There is to
be a lean-to on the north side ten feet
wide. Heating is by a battery of steam
boilers at the middle of the house on
the north. How is it best to pipe the
house when it will, on account of water,
be impracticable to place the boiler be-
low the return! The house to be built
contemplates a corridor through the cen-
ter for convenience of heating and ready |

access to this and similar but detached
houses to be built in future.

Can concrete be used to advantage in
the construction of walls, and how united
with cast-iron gutters? How should the
roof be supported and at what angle
should the glass be pitched to get the
best light at 9 a. m. winter and summer?
Would there be enough water shed from
such a house, if properly piped, to sup-
ply the necessities of plants grown
therein?

The desire of the writer is to obtain
such general or expert opinions as will
enable him to build a first-class, up-to-
date range of glass for rose and carna-
tion culture. Also to get an intelligent
idea as to arrangement of benches, divis-
ion walls, heating and all details con-
nected therewith. Is cypress construc-
tion or all iron construction, or the two
modes combined best? Glass is 16x22.
The house must be piped so as to pro-
duce a temperature of 65 degrees with
20 degrees below zero outside.

TROUBLE WITH GERANIUMS.

T enclose a leaf of one of my plants,
with which I am having a good deal of
trouble. The name of the variej^ is
Bruanti. I would like to have you ex-
amine this geranium leaf, as it crimples
in its growth. Let me know what is the
cause and what the remedy. T. F.

We have received so many similar
queries and been unable to give any
specific advice on the subject that we
were delighted to get what we think is
a little light on the subject. We have
been troubled, like other geranium grow-
ers, with occasional leaf disease and
have had to discard some varieties on
that account. We always believed that
it Avas produced by improper conditions,
especially too much water and insuf-
ficient air and sunlight. We have no- •
tioed it lately on a quantity of ivy-leafed
varieties. They were for two months in
a warm but light house and growing vig-
orously. The young man in charge
moved them to a cooler house, on a
shaded bench, and cut them back at
least half their growth, so that evapora-
tion from their foliage is much less than
it was. A very intelligent German gar-
dener was looking around with me yes-
terday, and noticing the trouble, re-
marked that when he saw a zonal
geranium troubled with this unhealthy
foliage he put it beneath the bench for
two weeks and let it get dust dry, and
on restoring it to the bench and giving
it water the first leaf it made was
healthy. Where you had a large quan-
tity affected that would be a rather
crude method, but it simply means that
a thorough drying out is what is wanted.
The geranium is a succulent plant,
charged at all times with plenty of sap,
and if oversupplied with water at the
roots will suffer with functional dis-
order, and that, I believe, is the cause
of the trouble. Sunlight, air and water-
ing only when dry is the preventive.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

Business was decidedly quiet at the
middle of last week, but on Friday there
was a good clean-up. It was accom-
plished by moderate quotations to the
buyers of large lots tor special Satur-
day sales. Saturday saw the market
with less stock and better prices than
at any time in the past fortnight. On
Monday the receipts were again consid-
erably beyond the requirements. Tues-
day was a wet day, and we hear no re-
ports of anybody being injured in a rush
to get stock. The accumulation prom-
ises again to be considerable until the
week-end sales afford another chance to
move the surplus.

It is notable that with the greatly in-
creased cuts the quality of stock averages
probably better than this market ever has
known. Carnations have not increased
in proportion to rose crops. Beauties
are ahead of the demand and the best
stock in good lots is bringing consider-
ably reduced figures. Brides and Maids
for the first time in months are in sup-
ply greater than the requirements, and
the buyers make the price. It would be
a critical purchaser who could not be
pleased in any one of the wholesale
houses. Fine crops of Liberty and Rich-
mond are on and Chatenay is also su-
perb. Kaiserin is beginning to be a
factor. ^ ^

Carnations are not so much in the way
as last week. There are still more than
are needed for the legitimate demand
ami prices are low. The clean-up on
*io if^ showed many sales from $7.50 to
« 1 2.50 per thousand. There are many

more violets than the market has use
for; quality poor. On Saturday Hudson
river stock was sold on the street at 10
cents per bunch of fifty. Sweet peas
are fine and sell well. They have dis-
placed violets in popular favor.

The greatest glut is in belated Easter
lilies. These are sold with much diffi-
culty and those houses handling them in
quantity are never cleaned up. Callas
are in but little better state. Bulbous
stock is pretty well out of the way.
Lilac is in large supply and sells well.

Smilax and asparagus are the only
items short of the demand. Other greens
are plentiful. It looks as though the
new crop of ferns would find the whole-
salers still carrying many cases of cold
storage stock. The loss on much of the
stock coming from storage is from one-
third to three-fourths.

Various Notes.

Winandy Bros, are building seven
houses at Rogers Park for Engel Bros.,
a new firm of growers. The houses are
each 23x160, short span to the south.

Mike Rocklin, long with E. H. Hunt's,
leaves Saturday night to go to Kala-
mazoo, where he is a partner in the
retail store of Fisher & Rocklin.

Wietor Bros, report a big business in
chrysanthemum cuttings.

John Mangel has been taking advan-
tage of the interest the society editors
show in the greenhouses of Miss Nina
Howard by displaying a sign "Sweet
Glencoe violets."

John Schoepfle has made preparations
for a big spring season. He has a lot
of stock, pansies, etc., in frames.

The .John C. Moninger Co. reports
that there is no let-up in the call for

greenhouse material. For more than
three months they have booked orders
at the rate of one a day, and many of
the orders are for whole ranges of glass,
one of the first being for over 85,000
square feet. Although some of the or-
ders are from the extreme east, by far
the larger portion are in the southwest,
where our trade is at present having its
greatest development.

Fred Strail has closed up his place on
Jackson boulevard and concentrated his
business at 164 Adams.

Max Ringier, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,
has been quite ill the past week.

E. Bruecker has moved a block east
on Monroe street to the stand occupied
by Harry Rowe for the past couple of
years. Mr. Rowe moved across the
street a couple of months ago, to a store
in the Palmer House, and finds that
the change stimulated his trade not a
little.

Moving day saw no changes among
the wholesalers.

The Chicago Rose Co. is making a big
outdoor display of trees, shrubs, rose
])lants, etc., and is doing a considerable
retail business in this class of stock.
Next year the retail seed and nursery
departments will be considerably ex-
tended.

The George Wittbold Co. reports a
very great increase in the amount of
early outdoor work. They have a much
larger stock of geraniums than last
year.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. is getting in
stock literally by the car-load.

at the same time sent a couple of boxes

NEV YORK.

The Market.

After the storm of the first of the
week, which has now become a habit of
the weather, real spring conditions pre-
vail. The trees are * ' opening their
thousand leaves, ' ' the gardens are ablaze
with magnolia and forsythia bloom, and
all nature is alive again. The seedsmen
and the nurserymen rejoice, and with
good cause, for no such season in vol-
ume of business has ever been expe-
rienced. The plant market, and the
auctions, too, are booming.

But with the wholesalers in the cut
flower market this spring time is "the
winter of their discontent. ' ' Values
retrograde rapidly. Violets are out of
the running. Their glory has departed.
They have had a checkered year and a
new basis of prices has been established,
but, even so, the growers have made
money, lots of it, and building goes on
as enterprisingly as ever in the Ehine-
beck region. What are a million violets
lost by reason of rain at Easter, com-

pared with the million dollars lost by
the florists of San Francisco?

The tendency of everything last week
was toward lower prices. Eoses did not
escape. Beauties fell to $15 per hun-
dred for the best, and so on down to
summer rates; Brides and Maids to $4,
and all the specialties, Eichmond, Kil-
larney, Chatenay, Liberty, etc., joined
the procession.

Lilies are abundant and lower. Bul-
bous stock is plentiful; southern is com-
ing in a flood. Arbutus is now the popu-
lar street flower. Lilac — there is no
limit to it; the south must be covered
with it, judging by the shipments. Some
lilac reaches New York that is "found"
by the searchers in the country places.
This stock is all velvet to the fortunate
handler.

Business will doubtless progress on
the present level until Decoration day.
Plantsmen are preparing for this with
greater variety and quantity than ever
before. The Flatbush growers find this
day the best of all the year. I hear
Davy Mellis, with his big range, is ready
for double the usual demand. His Crim-
son Eamblers at Easter were fine.

Variotts Notes.

When it is completed .John Scott will
have one of the finest plants on Long
Island. The enterprising president will
not rest until he has 100,000 square feet.
Scottii is as much in demand as ever.
There is never enough of it.

The club will meet Monday, May 14^
and many matters of interest will be con-
sidered, a fine exhibit arranged and final
reports given as to the outing.

Night and day work continues at Bod-
dington's. Over 300,000 cannas have
been sold by this house this season.
Harry Buuyard has fully recovered from
the severe cut that nearly put his hand
out of commission.

Jos. Fenrich is now handling Anton
Schultheis' fine valley and gardenias.
Miss Levitt, of Fenrich 's staff, has re-
moved her residence to the seashore for
the summer.

The W. F. MeCord Co., of Tarrytown,
reports a big business, especially in the
nursery line. Mr. McCord closed a large
contract on Saturday in Westchester
county.

the problem in the new V-shaped gutter,
cast-iron, with sides partly rounded.
Under the gutter at the central point is
suspended a U-bax, which takes all drip
and condensation. The curb of the gut-
ter being of the same radius as the pitch
of the roof bar, if the condensation fol-
lows the roof bar it follows the gutter

to its lowest point and so reaches the
drip gutter. Posts are placed every
eight feet three and three-quarter inches.

The water and condensation from the
gutter are let down inside alternate
posts. This gutter shows at its best in

The Market

The showerless April has brought in
quantities of cherry and other outdoor
blossoms, much appreciated for decora-
tive work, varying the effects made for
so long with greenhouse-grown flowers.
The warm weather which we have ex-
perienced has railroaded all the Btaple
varieties of cut flowers to such an extent
that it is impossible to move the surplus,
especially of poorer grades, at any
figures. Most of the good stock that
reaches the market can be disposed of,
but prices are low and variable. Beauties
are in heavy supply and command fair
prices. Sweet peas still sell well, espe-
cially the better grades. But violets are
over, and nearly all the bulbous stock
has disappeared, barring a few nice sin-
gle daffodils. Carnations are in heavy
supply.

The Key to Success.

The Floral Exchange has fully 175,-
000 square feet of glass at Edgely, Pa.,
three miles beyond Bristol on the New
York branch of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. They are now erecting a new
house 64x250 feet, to be planted with
grafted Richmond. This is the third
house of this style on the place, the first
having been built five years ago. It
was 54x350. The other, built in 1903,
was 63x310. These houses are distinctly
Edgely houses, as opposed to the ridge
and furrow range style, or the sharp
pitch house usually built for cut flowers.
The idea is to economize building mate-
rial, the management believing that gut-
ters shade, while ridges and furrows
waste glass. The pitch is unusually flat,
the sides are high, and the ridge neces-
sarily is of great height in houses of
such breadth. I refrain from giving
figures, wishing merely to convey a gen-
eral idea of the style of house believed
in at Edgely.

The roses in these houses are all
planted out in the ground, which is gen-
erally plowed, sometimes dug, before the
house is built. They are allowed to
remain for a number of years. One bed
of Brides, in particular, that are five
yeauiB old, would compare favorably with
almoet any bed of one-year-old plants.
The idea in growing is to keep the plants
steadily at it all the year around, thin-
ning ou* light wood and turning the
heavier shoots, as occasion requires, but
never drying off or resting the plants
to any extent. The figures on the score
card in the houses show an excellent

cut, which, while smaller in winter than
in the other months of the year, would
certainly compare favorably with that of
many of our growers.

There are 70,000 rose plants grown
at Edgely, about 8,500 each of American
Beauty and Queen of Edgely, 17,000
each Bride and Bridesmaid, 6,000 each
Ivory and Golden Gate, 3,000 Chateqay,
and there will be 11,000 Richmonds.
Most of them are now in potg, ready
for planting. Besides these there are
a few Killarney and Sweetheart, a tiny
rose brought from California by the
president of the company. The cut of
this vast place is distributed by two
commission houses each in Philadelphia

Here is a dollar for another year.

and New York, and one each in Boston
and Pittsburg, besides the orders sent
direct by the retailers to the place.

The heading of this note was sug-
gested by the thorough business-like sys-
tem evidenced in every detail of the
rose-growing at Edgely, a system, which,
if practiced by more of our growers,
would undoubtedly place their business
on a more substantial footing. A few
ideas of this system may be gleaned
from the fact that with the exception
of Beauty and Edgely, no roses are
grown on own roots, simply because a
careful comparison of the books proves
that the grafted plants yield better re-
turns. It was very diflScult for the man-
ager to realize this, as the own-root

plants looked well and produced heavy
canes in the spring and summer. It was
further proved that the cost of replant-
ing and cleaning the houses was so great
that it was better to leave the house in
for almost an indefinite period rather
than incur this expense. Therefore
benches had to go, though there are still
some on the place, and ground beds are
favored. It is further believed that the
practice of disbudding may be easily
overdone, and at Edgely they allow the
plants to bloom pretty much when they
want to, after they have attained a cer-
tain height, finding that in this way they
get better returns. I do not mean that
these instances would apply on other
places, but simply call attention to the
fact that at Edgely the management has
tested every detail of the work and de-
cided what is best there.

The place is heated by four large and
one small marine boiler fed with buck-
wheat coal. It is enriched by a wonder-
ful tank system of various fertilizers,
fermented with steam and sent through
the water pipes. A new cooling room,
large and convenient, has been installed,
which is invaluable. Adjoining it is a
commodious packing room.

It is generally known that the Floral
Exchange had about 50,000 square feet
of glass prior to 1897, in which year it
was incorporated. D. Fuerstenberg is
president, Henry C. Geiger secretary and
Harry Simpson manager. The place is
full of interest and evidently one of the
most prosperous near this city.

The Market

Conditions show some improvement
over a week ago. Receipts of several
staples have materially decreased and
this has relieved the congestion to some
extent. Roses sell a little better all
around, principally owing to reduced
supply. There is no particular advance
in price, however. Carnations are doing
a little better and vary from $1.50 to
$3 per hundred, with a few fancies at
$4. These are still of very good qual-
ity, due to the absence of any very
warm weather yet. Violets are getting
scarce. Such as arrive are getting
smaller. They average 50 cents per hun-
dred. Sweet peas are not abundant and
still sell at 75 cents per hundred.

The supply of indoor bulbous stock
is very much reduced and the present
week will see about an end of forced or
retarded tulips and narcissi. Prices on
these are a little stiflfer. Quite a num-
ber of outdoor narcissi are now arriving
and some tulips also. Callas and Eas-
ter lilies are not in much demand. Mar-

guerites, if of good quality, sell well,
and Spanish iris meets with a fair sale.
There is a moderate call for asparagus
and adiautum.

Qub Banquet.

Ideal weather favore^ the banquet of
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club at
Horticultural hall on April 25. Over
300 members, with many lady friends,
were present. A reception was held by
the officers of the club and their wives
prior to the banquet. Tne tables were
set in the main exhibition hall and were
beautifully decorated with plants and
cut flowers, the gift of a number of the
members as well as some of the retail
florists. The stage of the lecture hall,
where dancing later was enjoyed, was
banked with choice flowering plants and
palms and presented a very pleasing ap-
pearance.

The banquet flienu was one of the
best ever served at any florists' gather-
ing in Boston and was a great credit
to the club. One short address of wel-
come from President "Wheeler was the
only speech of the evening ere he intro-
duced the entertainers, who included

proved inimitable as a reader and was
enthusiastically applauded. An imme-
diate adjournment to the dancing hall
was made at the close of the entertain-
ment, and Parvers' orchestra provided
splendid music for those who desired to
trip the light fantastic. Everyone
voted the evening a most delightful one,
and many wishes were expressed that
the club would soon arrange for another
banquet.

Much of the success of the evening is
due to President Wheeler, who put much
hard work upon the arrangements at a
very busy season. He had an excellent
corps of willing assistants, to whom
much praise also should be given. The
reception committee consisted of F. E.
Palmer, chairman; Messrs. Wilfred
Wheeler, O. Lumsden, Peter Miller,
H. E. Tyler, R. S. Edgar and Duncan
Finlayson. The decorating committee

John W. Foote has almost recovered
from his recent sickness. He has prac-

The Public Gardens in Boston are now

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

It is many months since prices were
as low on roses, carnations, callas and
other stock as they were the past week.
The extremely warm weather toward the
end of the week was hard on the grow-
ers. This rushed the crop at a rapid
'. rate, and even if business had been good
I all the cut could not have been dis-
posed of.

Bulbous stock is not nearly so plenti-
ful. Valley is holding its own as to
price and demand. Lilies are too many,
especially callas. A lot of 400 was sold
the past week at $16. There is no set-
tled price on any of the stock in large
lots.

Brides, Maids and Beauties are in

; great abundance at all the wholesale

I houses. All the choice stock is sold to

' the up-town florists at a fair price and

the other grades are disposed of among

i tlic down-town florists, who at present

are having a war of cheap prices. Lilac

has been coming from the south, and

sold well at first. Violets are over for

this season.

1 The plantsmen all report a busy week,

I and will start bedding this week, with

j plenty of orders ahead to keep them

I bu.sy the whole month of May and part

of June.

All the help in the retail seed houses
is working overtime. The mail order de-
mand is especially heavy.

Henry Ostertag spent Sunday in Chi-

Miss Ruth Gould, of the Princess Beg-

in the theater entrance for the benefit
of the San Francisco sufferers. The
flowers were donated by C. Young &

proceeds netted over $200 in one after-
noon.

Fred Foster, Ellison, Alex Siegle, St.

to undersell the other. They extended
the war to the wholesale houses each
morning to see who could buy the cheap-

The tulip beds at Shaw's Garden and
at the different city parks were in full

PRIMULA KEWENSIS.

This fine new primula is a decided ac-
quisition for supplying decorative plants
during winter and spring, says a writer
in the Gardeners' Magazine. Seed of
P. Kewensia is now offered, but as P.
Kewensis is easily increased by division,
it seems hardly necessary to raise it from
seed. A stock of this primula may soon
be worked up from a few plants. Each
plant will have several growths or
crowns, and these are separated with a
sharp knife, and there are a few roots
attached to each; these will, if placed
in small pots, soon grow into nice plants.
For two or three weeks after division
they should be kept moderately close,
with a little warmth and moisture. After
making new roots, they may be removed
to a cool frame, as they succeed best
under cool treatment.

The bright yellow flowers of P. Kewen-
sis make the plant extremely useful for
winter and for association with Chinese
primulas. The perfume of P. Kewensis
reminds one of the cowslip. The flowers
last well when cut, while their length of
spike gives them an advantage for cut-
ting over the varieties of P. Sinensis.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

Large supplies of dafifodils are coining
in daily from Holland.

A very heavy trade has been done,
probably heavier than ever before, in
ivy trail for Easter decorations, the dark
green selling the best.

This month has seen the arrival of a
number of Dutch bulb representatives.
The advance in price of all lines of forc-
ing tulips is a surprise, and what is even
more surprising is reports that many
travelers are b<>oking increased orders.

Speaking of valley, I had occasion re-
cently to have very forcibly demonstrated
to me the evils of using a sample grown
on black, peaty soil. In looking through
a grower's houses I was shown a batch
of 190,000 that had been grown on black
peat and were seventy-five per cent a
dead failure. The numerous fibrous
roots having rotted quite away before
the bells opened, it was only the fact of
having an exceptionally strong top root
that carried them through any growth
at all. Last season being wet in the
growing districts, the sample in question
carried too much moisture and was not
sufficiently matured to be forced success-
fully. Had it been a dry year, it would
probably have been as successful as a
light sand grown sample. Many grow-
ers avoid black peat samples entirely,
but in my experience it is fairly good
when the season is a dry one; but gen-
■erally speaking, growers will loose noth-
ing by avoiding such samples absolutely.

Arum lilies for a long time have been
■out of favor on our markets, but lately
a considerable improvement in this line
has taken place, since the advent of the
improved variety, the Godfrey. This is
perhaps on account of the more refined
form and even size of this sort in com-
parison to the old .aithiopica. Swanley,
in Kent, is a great district for them, one
firm having a number of houses devoted
to their culture. J. B.

Wholesalers at Minneapolis and St.
Paul say that filling in orders have not
yet begun to come in, which shows that
the retail garden seed trade has hardly
begun in the northwest.

Morton, Pa.— On the Smedley tract
William Fowler, of Philadelphia, is erect-
ing what is reported to be the largest

glass and rebuild, also to considerably
enlarge his place. Business is good with

The seed imports at New York last
week were: Clover, 302 bags, valu^
$7,382; miscellaneous, value, $3,826.

It is evident that the average con-
gressman does not care much for the
influence of the seedsmen in his home
district.

Chicago. — A much needed rain lias
given the onion set fields a seasonable
appearance and put at rest the minds
of the growers for the time being.

Latest reports from California state
that the damage to crops from rains,
fogs and other disturbing influences is
greater than previous advices indicated.

The trade in pickling cucumber seed
is now on a boom. The pickle men re-
port that their operations during the
coming year will be fully up to averages.

Sweet corn for canners ' needs seems
to be in very good supply. The plant-
ing season for this article will be at its
height within three weeks, but no short-
age of seed is looked for.

The Cox Seed Co. has established tem-
porary headquarters at 108 Cole street,
San Francisco, and resumed business.
Wm. A. Cox, president, states that they
have ample capital to protect all their
contracts.

Counter trade is now at its height.
Beports generally are to the effect that
the year will average ahead of last year
in cash receipts. Market garden trade
is reported much in advance of last year
at all the principal centers.

The big general mail order houses
slow by their re-orders to wholesalers
that their catalogue trade is holding up
much better than is mail trade with the
catalogue seed houses. In the course of
a few seasons these general mail order
houses are sure to have an important
position in the seed trade.

The pea and bean growers report
that everything in the way of arrange-
ments for the coming year's crop has
been completed. The weather and soil
conditions for pea planting have been
excellent and good stands are expected
in all western localities. Beans will not
be planted for some time yet.

FREE SEEDS PERPETUATED.

congressional free distribution of 38,-
000,000 packets of common garden and
flower seeds will be made according to

come to naught.

On Tuesday, May 1, when the agri-
cultural appropriation bill was up for
consideration in the House, a motion to
reinsert the provision for the free dis-
tribution of seeds, omitted in commit-
tee, was carried by a vote of 153 to 58,
only about half the members being pres-
ent. Later the seed advocates were lined
up in an attempt to prevent the rising

of the committee of the whole and were
defeated 87 to 78.

The finish will come in the final pas-
sage of the bill, but with the provision
for the seeds inserted by amendment
there is hardly any chance but that the
bill will pass and receive the approval of
the Senate, Thus do our hopes go glim-
mering for, it is feared, not only another
year but many years. It is too much
to venture a suggestion that the Presi-
dent might veto the bill.

Washington, D. C, May 2. — An
amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill as reported by the commit-
tee to continue the distribution of seeds
through congressmen was inserted by a
vote of 153 to 58. The amendment as
carried is practically the same as the
present law under which the distribution

purchase, propagation, testing and dis-
tribution of valuable seeds, bulbs, trees,
shrubs, vines, cuttings and plants. The
amount set aside for this work is $242,-

FRISCO SEEDSMEN'S LOSSES.

A telegram from C. C. Morse & Co.,
which was four days on the way, reached
the Eeview two days after last week's
issue had gone to press. It was as fol-
lows :

All seed houses In San Francl.sco, including
our own, destroyed by fire. We have tempora-

Clara. Will re-establish ourselves at San Fran-
cisco In due season. Damaged here not seri-

VETCH SEED DUTY FREE.

In the matter of a protest of the N.
L. Willett Drug Co., of Augusta, Ga.,
against the assessment of duty oy the

J 728

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

May 3, 1906.

collector of customs at ttavannah, tho
United States General Appraisers on
April 23 reversed their previous rulings
and in the future the seed of vetch will
be admitted free of duty.

The board reached the decision that
the term * * grass seeds ' in paragraph
656, tariff act of 1897, is not used in its
scientific botanical sense and restricted
to plants of the order gramineae, or true
grasses, but includes other herbage which
serves for pasture or forage of cattle
and which has come to be popularly or
commercially known as grass.

Under this interpretation it follows
that the seed of the vetch, one of the
so-called * ' artificial grasses, ' ' which is
a leguminous plant used extensively for
pasture and forage purposes and classed
■with grasses and forage plants by the
«eed trade, is free of duty as "grass
seed, ' ' under said paragraph 656, and is
not dutiable as a seed not specially
provided for, under paragraph 254,

The full text of the board's opinion
was as follows:

The commodity subject of this protest is two
varieties of vetch seed^-Vlcia villosu, otherwise
known as the sand or winter vetch, and Vicla
sativa, or common vetch. These were classified
as seeds not specially provided for, under para-
graph 254 of the tariff act of 1897, and as-
sessed with duty at thirty per cent ad valorem.
They are claimed to be free under paragraph
<J56 of the act, which exempts, among other
things, "all flower and grass setds" not spe-
cially provided for.

Tne single question to be determined Is
whether the seed of the vetch is grass seed
within the meaning of paragraph 636. It is
well understood that the botanical order gram-
ineae, which comprises the true grasses, would
not Include this plant. It embraces such plants
as timothy, red top, Johnson grass, corn, oats,
barley, sugar cane, bamboo, etc., from which it
will plainly appear that what are sometimes
termed 'artificial grasses," such as clover, al-
falfa, sainfoin, spurry, and vetches, are not
within the botanical classification of grasses.
We thinic, however, that the law was framed
■with a view of placing on the free list such
pltmts as are popularly known and commercially
treated as grasses rather than those which are
scientifically so known. It is very evident, as
■will hereafter appear, that the board has not
been bound by the scientific botanical classifl-
■cation. The popular definition of the word
"grass" would Include such plants as vetches.
The following is taken from the Standard Dlc-
. tionary:

"Grasfl — In common usage, the green plants
on which cattle and other l)easts feed; any her-
bage that serves for pasture. This sense in-
cludes what are sometimes called the artificial
grasses, food-plants for horses and cattle which
«re not real grasses, as clover in the United
States and sainfoin in Europe, as well as some
other plants, principally of the legume or bean
family."

It would appear from the evidence in this
«ase. and we think it is not disputed, that the
vetch is a leguminous plant, allied to the clover
«nd alfalfa, and of the same family as the pea
and l>ean. The vetch is used for pasture and
forage and for making bay. These, we think,
are Its only uses and are quite extensive In
Georgia and some of the other southern states,
and also In the northwestern part of the United
States. It is especially adapted for growth
upon lean or barren asd light soils, and like
the clover has the power of collecting nitrogen
from the air and supplying it to the soil, thus
strengthening the soil and making it more pro-
ductive for all kinds of crops. The seed of
this plant Is not raised for commercial pur-
poses In the United States. The evidence shows
that many of the large dealers Include vetch
under the head of grasses in their catalogues,
and of those dealers who do not so classify
them, nearly all place them in the same classifi-
cation with forage and pasture plants.

That the board has not so construed the pro-
visions for grass seed in the tariff acts as to
restrict them to seeds of plants botanically
known as grasses is clear from Its decisions.
Thus sainfoin, which is in no way related to
the true grasses, was held to be a grass in board
decision In re Dlngelstedt, G. A. 2566 (T. D.
14937). Spurry, which is a pink and not re-
lated to the true grasses, was held to be grass
in the case of Henry Nungesser, G. A. 2597
(T. D. 15020). Clover, which, like the vetch,
is a legume, was held to be grass in G. A.
2442 (T, D. 14720); also an appeal by Henry
Nungesser. None of these plants is botanically
grass, but being well-known forage plants, popu-
larl.v and commercially classed as grasses, their
seeds were very properly held to be grass seeds
b.y the board. For the same reason we think
that vetch seed should be classified as gras«
seed within the meaning of the statute.

We are not unmindful that the board has
hitherto denied free entry to vetch seed, hold-
ing it to be dutiable as a seed not specially
provided for under said paragraph 254 (In re.

satisfied that that finding was based upon a
record which was neither full nor correct, and
while it warranted the finding at that time and
upon that record we think it should be over-
ruled.

That the term "grass seeds" is used in para-
graph 656 In its popular or commercial sense
rather than in its scientific sense may be said to
be settled by the decision of the circuit court
of appeals in Nordlinger v. United States (127
Fed. Rep., 683; T. D. 24976), where canary
seed, which is botanically a grass seed, but not
so Itnown either popularly or commercially, was
held not to be grass seed within the meaning
of said provision.

We find that vetch seed is grass seed, as the
term is used in paragraph 656. and sustain the
protest, reversing the collector's decision.

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

The seed trade is now very active and
good business is being done by retailers.
The wholesale firms are slacking off
somewhat.

Clovers and grasses show very little
increase in quotations owing to available
quantities and prices throughout are
practically unchanged. Owing probably
to some heavy Dutch offers Scarlet
Runner beans are offered very cheaply
for really fine colored samples, cheaper
than for some time past, as low as 9 shil-
lings per bushel in some instances being
accepted. B. J.

: A GARDENER'S FRIEND.

In times past the common toad was
looked upon with horror. It was said
to be poisonous, its ugly, weird-looking
appearance being considered sufficient
proof of its deadly character; yet it is
perfectly harmless. That the toad is
beneficial to the gardener is admitted by
everyone who has observed its habits.
From some extensive observations it has
been found that eleven per cent of the
toad's food is composed of insects and
spiders beneficial or indirectly helpful to
man, and eighty per cent of insects and
other animals directly injurious to culti-
vated crops or in other ways obnoxious
to man. The toad feeds on worms, snails
and wood-lice, common greenhouse pests,
and the many-legged insects which injure
crops of the greenhouse, covered frame
and open garden. It feeds to some ex-
tent on grasshoppers, crickets, cater-
pillars, and destroys large numbers of
ants. It consumes a considerable number
of beetles of various kinds, especially
click beetles, the adults of the common
wireworm, the cucumber beetle and cock-
roaches.

As a rule, the toad is nocturnal in its
habits, although it will sometimes ven-
ture out during the daytime, when
tempted by an abundance of food in its
immediate vicinity, or more commonly
when the air is full of moisture. The
toad does not take dead or motionless
food. Only living and movitig insects,
etc., are devoured; so long as they re-
main motionless they are safe, but im-
mediately they commence to travel they
are captured. The toad's tongue is its
only organ for seizing food; the tongue
is covered with a glutinous substance
which adheres firmly to the food seized.
So rapid is the motion of its tongue that
a careful watch is necessary if one would
see the animal feed. The toad is a gross
feeder, and disposes of enormous quan-
tities of food. In twenty-four hours the
amount consumed by the toad equals
four times the stomach capacity — that is
to say, in the time mentioned the stomach
is filled and emptied four times, so rap-
idly does the process of digestion pro-
ceed. Toads, although they may be ugly
externally; may be reckoned among the
best friends that the gardener has. —
Gardeners' Magazine.

Gary, Fla. — E. A. Lorbeer handles
not only nursery stock, but palms, flower-
ing plants, etc., in their season. He re-
ports a very busy spring.

THE BIGGEST CHIMNEY.

The largest chimney ou any greenhouse
plant in the United States is at the es-
tablishment of Bassett k Washburn,
Hinsdale, 111. It was built last summer
as a necessary complement of the big
centralized boiler plant which was
created from several scattered plants
■which had hitherto been used for heat-
ing the various sections of the big estab-
lishment. After a thorough investiga-
tion of the subject Bassett & Washburn
accepted the view of the Kroeschell Bros.
Co. that a steel stack was preferable to
brick. The Kroeschell Bros. Co. built
the high pressure steam boilers in the
big boiler room and they say that under
ordinary conditions there would be no
advantage in having a steel stack, ex-
cept possibly the question of expense,
since a brick stack costs considerably
more than a steel stack. But the prac-
tical advantage of a steel stack in the
case of Bassett & Washburn is that it
requires considerably less space in area
and therefore does not throw as large a
shadow on the greenhouses. That is the
greatest argument in favor of the steel
stack for greenhouse purposes.

The stack was made eight and one-
half feet in diameter at the top and with
a total height of 125 feet. The lower
portion of the stack was made of %-incli
material and the upper of 14-inch steel,
with the center forty feet of •%-inch
plate. The base was flared to sixteen
feet in diameter, both for stability and
appearance. That is worth stopping a
moment to think about — sixteen feet
across is as wide as a good sized room.

In order to carry the stack and to give
sufficient weight to prevent overturning,
a concrete base was placed, an excava-
tion being made for same, and about
280 tons of concrete was put in. At the
top of this was a cast-iron rim made sec-
tionally of 2-inch metal with a wide
flange. The stack was riveted to this
and from there eight 2-inch anchor bolts
extended down through the concrete
footing. There was a large clean-out
door at the bottom and a flue opening
above.

The stack was lined for forty feet in
height with fire 1 trick, the weight of
which was carried on double angle irons.

A ladder made of %-ineh rounds with
--inch flat iron sides was constructed
on the outside of the stack clear to the
top.

Approximately thirty tons of steel
were used in the construction of this
stack. The stack was painted two coats
of carbon paint. It will require re-
painting every third year.

PLANTS USE FREE NITROGEN.

For some years past Thomas Jamie-
son, the director of the Agricultural
Eesearch Association, has devoted a con-
siderable share of his attention to the
investigation of the utilization of free
nitrogen by plants. Mr. Jamieson says:
"It has hitherto been held that plants
are unable to absorb and utilize the
nitrogen nf the air, and as the two fam-

ilies of plants that are most largely cul-
tivated— the cereals and grasses — have
been found in practice to give much
larger crops by the aid of nitrogenous
salts, an enormous amount of money
has hitherto been spent on these arti-
ficial supplies of nitrogen. It is satis-
factorily proved that plants in general
do absorb and utilize nitrogen from air,
and that the cereals and grasses also
do so, but to a less extent than others,
and it now becomes obvious that by in-
troducing as largely as possible into
practice such plants as absorb nitrogen
largely, and incorporating them with
the soil, it may be possible to avoid
the purchase of nitrogenous salts, and
yet have as large, and even larger,
crops than before." — CJardeners' Maga-
zine.

FUMIGATING.

Even with the improved fumigants
there is a risk of damaging the tender
spring foliage. I know that under cer-
tain conditions, the most tender plants
"lay be rid of all ordinary insect pests
without any risk; yet I have frequently
heard complaints that mischief has been
done. Temperature is one of the most
important matters to study ; shut a house
up while the sun is on it and cause the
plants to sweat, and damage is sure to
tollow fumigation ; or, when done early
in the morning, the same thing may
occur if the house is left closed too long.
In the days when tobacco was used it was
^ general practice to damp the floor and
other spaces to make the smoke hang;

use, a rather dry atmosphere and as low

harm was done by shutting up the houses

Prea., B. Albertson, Brldgreport. Ind.; Vlce-
Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md.; Sec'y, Geo.
0. Seager, RocheBter; Treaa., C. L. Yates, Roches-
ter. The 3lBt annual convention will be held at
Dallas, Texas, June 13-15, 1906.

The Maine Nursery Co. has been or-
ganized at Bangor, with $25,000 author-
ized capital stock. Officers: President,
Felker L. Temple, of Bucksport; treas-
urer, Frank H. Damon, of Hampden.

Wm. a. Peterson, Chicago, sails from
New York May 10, on the Amerika, for
a four months' tour of Europe. His
first visits will be to the principal peony
growers during the blooming season. It
will be the first time since his connection
with the business that he has been absent
from his own peony field during the
flowering period. Mrs. Peterson will ac-
company him on his European trip.

THE DALLAS MEETING.

E. Albertson, president of the Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen, writes:
' ' The indications are very good for our
meeting at Dallas June 13 to 15, and if
present prospects are realized we will
have one of the largest meetings ever
held. From almost every section reports
are coming in of parties intending to
go, many more than we have had at
this time in the past. We think most
agreeable and pleasant arrangements
for the trip will be made, so the entire
trip will be a kind of grand reunion.
We hope to leave St. Louis by special
train with from 100 to 200 of our mem-
bers, same to be joined by Kansas City
and other delegations by the next morn-
ing, so we will have a good time all the
way through. The Rock Island-Frisco
System makes a rate of one fare plus
$2 for the round trip from St. Louis,
going via one route and returning an-
other."

Secretary Geo. C. Seager says the
Oriental hotel will be headquarters.
Rates will be $2.50 per day and up,
American plan. Members are advised
to engage rooms in advance.

The following essays are announced:
' ' Specific Requirements of New Varie-
ties in California Fruit Growing,"
by Prof. Wickson, Berkeley, California;
"The Importance and Best Methods of
the Bud and Scion Supply in Propa-
gating," by C. C. Mayhew, Texas;
"Credits," by Geo. H. Josselyn, New
York. The meetings are to be held at
the Commercial club.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.

April 28 A. E. DeMange bought Sid-
ney Tuttle 's interest in the Phoenix Nur-
sery Company. The capital stock of the
company is $200,000 and Mr. Tuttle
owned one-half. He retains a nominal
interest and at the reorganization meet-
ing April 28 was elected vice-president.
The stockholders elected as directors, W.
E. Rossney, A. E. DeMange and Ralph
G. DeMange and the officers chosen are:
A. E. DeMange, president; Sidney Tut-
tle, vice-president, and W. E. Rossney,
secretary and treasurer. Mr. Tuttle has
been associated with the nursery for
twenty-four years. Mr. Rossney, who
came to Bloomington from Rochester,
lias been identified with the business for
twenty-five years.

The Phoenix Nursery for a half cen-
tury has been one of the foremost insti-
tutions of Bloomington and Normal. It
was founded in 1852 by F. K. Phoenix,
who conducted it until 1878, when it was
bought by the Bloomington Nursery Co.,
and in 1890 the Phoenix Nursery Co. was
organized and acquired the property. It
has been for many years one of the most
important nurseries west of Rochester.
The nursery has 600 acres of land, em-
ploying from 100 to 125 hands during
the busy season.

The business office of the company will
be moved down town to the Unity block,
adjoining Mr. DeMange 's law offices.
The company will at once proceed to the
building of new and enlarged green-
houses of the most modern type at the
packing grounds at Normal and the pres-
ent city greenhouses will be removed
and the land platted into city lots.

LEADING NURSERYMEN GONE.

A. 17, Sampson, Red Bluff, Cal.
A. W. Sampson, the well-known nur-
seryman and horticulturist, who has been
horticultural commissioner for several
years, died April 18 at the home of his
son in Corning. He was a sufferer
with cancer of the tongue, and spent
several months in an Oakland sanitarium.

S. R. Hess, Ephrata, Pa.

Samuel R. Hess, retired nurseryman,
of Ephrata, Lancaster county. Pa., died
April 22, of heart trouble. The de-
ceased was 75 years of age and was a
member of the old Mennonite church for
many years. He is survived by a wife
and six children.

Georsfe H. Ellwanger.

George Herman Ellwanger died April
23 at his home at Rochester, N. Y.
Paralysis of the heart was the imme-
diate cavise of death. Mr. Ellwanger was
liorn in Rochester, July 10, 1848. He

was a man of extensive and varied lit-
erary accomplishments and was secre-
tary of the Ellwanger & Barry corpora-
tion, of which his father, George Ell-
wanger, is president.

In the opinion of George Ellwanger, the
father, "breadth of culture, variety of
knoAvledge and experience, and contact
with the world, especially with persons
of culture, and correct moral principles,
have always been the surest foundation
for usefulness and success in life."

These teachings Mr. Ellwanger incul-
cated in the minds of his children, in
whose interest his fortune was freely
used. George Herman was sent to Eu-
rope to complete his education. He
was a student in Vervey, Switzerland,
and Angers, France, remaining abroad
about four years.

After returning to Rochester, Mr. Ell-
wanger became editor-in-chief of the
Evening Express. In 1873 he married
Harriet Stillson, and his wife survives
him with three children, Mrs. Boyd Wat-
son, of Parkersburg, W. Va., and Mrs.
Alexander Otis and Miss Julia Ell-
wanger, of Rochester.

Mr. Ellwanger was an authority on
horticulture, on which he wrote in nearly
all of a dozen volumes of which lie was
author. One of his latest works was the
revision of "The Rose," written by his
brother, which Mr. Ellwanger brought
down to date in 1893. His first publica-
tion of more than ordinary value was
' ' The Garden Story, or Pleasures and
Trials of an Amateur Gardener, ' ' which
was placed on sale in 1889.

Mr. Ellwanger 's literary accomplish-
ments won from the University of
Rochester the master of arts degree. He
was a member of the Pundit Club, the
Genesee Valley Club and thp Country
Club of Rochester. Mr. Ellwanger was
interested in numerous local business en-
terprises aside from his participation in
the affairs of Ellwanger & Barry, and
was one of three commissioners of Mount
Hope cemetery.

PITTSBUHG.

The Market

The general business has been pretty
fair the past -week, quite a number of
weddings helping out in this line and
the splendid weather also helped tran-
sient trade. Stock of all kinds is plenti-
ful except smilax, and for some reason
this is always scarce at this season of
the year. One can scarcely understand
why all the smilax growers allow this to
happen every year at the same time.
Beauties seem plentiful and cheap.
Violets are still with us and the quality
is very fair for the season.

Various Notes.

H. P. Joslin, of Ben Avon, is sending
the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. some fine
Trumpet narcissi from the field. Mr.
Joslin is a specialist on hardy flowers
and cuts very good stock all through the
summer.

Most of the growers in this section
will be busy the coming week planting
carnations in the field.

The Pittsburg Eose & Carnation Co.
is planting its large new house, which is
just finished, with carnations and at the
same time is getting out the field stock.

M. C. Dunlevy, of Carnegie, Pa., is
doing quite a business in decorations.
He took this branch up just last fall and
it has proven quite a success. Formerly
Mr. Dunlevy devoted his whole time to
the growing of carnations, bulbs, large
and small fruits.

The fine weather Sunday crowded the
parks and the visitors were well repaid,
as the bulbs are just coming into bloom.
The past week saw good lilies quoted at
$30 per 1000. Growers will not get rich
at that price.

Tf anyone knows of a good trout
stream it would be charity to send the
address to Phil Langhans. The fever is
on him and the only cure will be a
couple of days with the rod and line.

L. A. Smith, of Wheeling "\V. Va., was
a visitor the past week, also a purchaser
of a nice line of palms, ferns, etc., to
replenish his decoration stock.

IToo-Hoo.

SnERM.VN, Tex. — The Texas Nursery
Co. has ordered the material for a large
addition to its present range of glass.

Alvin, Tex. — It is stated that the sea-
son is rather early and that the annual
harvest of cape jasmine buds will begin
by May 15. Tlie prospects are for a
largo crop of excellent quality.

WASHINGTON.

The Market.

Business continues fair, though prices
have dropped considerably since Easter.
In wedding and house decorations, spring
blossoms are being used to some extent,
which temporarily affects the cut flower
market. Throughout the stores and mar-
kets quite a sprinkling of apple-blossoma,
purple and white lilacs, anemones and
other seasonable outdoor stock may be
seen, all of wiiich is bound to cut into
the rose and carnation sales. If the
present dry and warm weather continues
it will soon work mischief to greenhouse
roses, carnations and violets. The week
was fruitful of wedding decorations and
others are in sight.

Various Notes.

H. C. Summers has had on exhibition
at Z. D. Blackistoue's store a large yel-
low daisy which beats anything that has
yet been seen here in the daisy line.
Some of the flowers are four inches
across, Avith stems in proportion. It is
a plant that well deserves attention. Mr.
Summers calls it a sport ; if so, it has
beaten the parent out of sight.

George II. Cooke had a fine churcii
decoration on April 26, for the wedding
of Miss Zaidee ('obb to Cornelius N.
Bliss, Jr., of New York. Lilies and
spring blos.soms were largely used.

George AVatson and Fred. Michell. of
Philadelphia, were in the city during the
week, but there is no evidence at hand
to show that tliey got any free seeds.

Scott Y.

South Fhamixgham. Mass.^.\. W.
Blair & Co. have discontinued business
and removed from town.

TWIN QTIES.

The Market

Trade the past week has not been
good. Stock is abundant and can be
bought for almost any old price. Select
roses are retailed for $1.50 per dozen
and ordinary stock for $1 per dozen.
Some fancy carnations were sold the past
week for 50 cents per dozen, and the
Greeks have been offering them for 35
cents per dozen. Saturday has developed
into a sales day, particularly with the
department store trade, and large lots
of cheap stock are turned over on very
small margins, much to the annoyance
of the legitimate florists.

Minneapolis.

The Whitted Floral Co. will soon
move into its new store on Fifth street.
They will have an ideal place, a great
improvement over the present quarters.
Rent is about doubled, but is not to be
considered if the best is their aim.
They already have a large trade and will
undoubtedly add greatly to it in the
new location.

Eice Bros, say they have stock to
burn, and judging from the manner in
which it has been coming into this mar-
ket, there is more truth than poetry in
their statement. Their demands being
largely from the smaller towns, they
feel the slump in trade before we feel
it in the cities.

Powers Mercantile Co. reports a good
business, the demand being particularly
heavy in the packet seed line, bulbs,
etc.

The New York Floral Co. is selling
large numbers of carnations this fine
weather, of course at the close price
of 35 cents per dozen. The Nicollet
hotel trade helps this firm materially.

St. PaoL

L. L. May & Co. say business has
been quiet, their principal demand being
for funeral work.

Holm & Olson have not started to
build as yet, but expect to begin opera-
tions in a short time. They have the
glass on hand.

Chas. F. Vogt says trade is only fair
in cut flowers, but he is experiencing
a heavy demand for shrubs of all kinds.

The Eamaley Floral Co. says that
business is quiet and is making prepara-
tion to handle plants. Felix.

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

May 3, 1906.

BROWALLIA SPECIOSA MAJOR.

This browallia has decided attractions
over its congeners, chiefly on account of
its more robust habit and its larger
blue flowers, which are produced in great
profusion. When massed by themselves,
and upon diiferent planes to form a
bank, the whole presenting one mass of
violet-blue flowers amid a setting of
deep green, shining foliage, the effect
is excellent, indeed.

The cultural requirements are of the
most simple character. Cuttings in-
^serted in March form roots readily. The
plants are also easily raised from seeds,
a method of propagation I prefer, as
the seedlings grow with greater free-
dom and are not so addicted to flower
during their early period of growth as
those raised from cuttings. It is essen-
tial, whichever method of propagation
be followed, to pinch the tips of the
young growths several times during the
plant's development in order to pro-
mote a bushy, instead of a scandent,
growth.

After hardening the plants, they
should be finally potted, using ordinary
but fairly rich soil. Copious syringings
of clear water should be afforded in
order to keep down red spider, to which
pest the plants are very liable.

They are useful for decorative work
and remain for a considerable time in
good condition. When used for decora-
tive purposes, and in circumstances
which do not permit of their being
changed for a lengthened period, they
may become somewhat thin and leggy
through loss of foliage. However, they
soon recover if placed in a warm at-
mosphere, but the growths should be
shortened a few inches, and by the fol-
lowing spring they will again form use-
ful and serviceable plants. — Gardeners'
Chronicle.

Baker City, Ore. — ^R. C. Eisele, of the
Center Street Greenhouses, says spring
business has been "excellent and Easter
the "best ever."

Denisox, Tex. — E. Farley says that
to date business has been about double

had exceptional success with roses under
glass, cutting fine stock all winter, with
no mildew and no greenfly. He also

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

May 3, 1906.

DENISON, TEX.

Denison was visited by a hailstorm
one night last week which was almost
unparalleled in severity and which did
much damage within a small district.
The Munson nurseries and greenhouses
were probably the heaviest sufferers.
Will B. Munson roughly estimated the
total damage at between $2,000 and
$3,000. Of the 5,000 panes of glass at
the greenhouses only three or four were
found unbroken. The heavy hail beat
the glass on the stock and cut and
bruised the plants so severely that many
were ruined. The handsome palms at the
nursery were almost ruined, the hail
stones tearing the. leaves. Grapevines
and tender buds on trees were badly
torn.

The hail completely shattered every
pane of glass in the two greenhouses
at E. Farley's, 330 West Munson street.
The hail and the total loss of plants and
houses is estimated to reach about $500.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

Bright, warm weather is making things
hum. We are in the rush of work inci-
dent to planting out. Everything is be-
ing planted, tender as w^ell as hardy
stock, and better prices are being real-
ized than we looked for. It looks as if
the demand will exceed the supply.

Carnations are in the field and are
making fine growth. Eoses in the field
are now in bloom.

Enough funeral work is being done to
take up all the stock and as yet there is
no waste.

Carnations on the benches are going
along lively, but I cannot say that I
am in favor of the east and west house
in this section. The sun, when it comes
during the rainy season, is so hot that
the bloom is cooked in this style of
house, while in the north and south house
the sun cannot have the same chance.

Eeports from different places in this
section are that the past Easter was
the best ever experienced. A number
who were not looking for much business,
were caught without stock to sell. Learn-
ing by experience, they are placing larger
orders with the seed and bulb houses for
next fall and winter. Narcissus.

Nottingham, N. H. — L. E. Williams
reports one of the most backward sea-
sons in his recollection, there still being
snow and ice in many places.

Harvey, III. — The ladies who a year
or two ago took hold of the Harvey
Greenhouses have done so well that they
are now adding about 3,500 feet of glass
to the plant.

The Market

Business the past week has been like
that we expect to have in summer. A
little funeral work helped to relieve the
monotony, but under the poor demand
prices of all varieties of flowers have
reached rock bottom. On Saturday there
was a pretty good demand in all lines
and that helped to close out a large ac-
cumulation. The price obtained was
very low, but the aggregate receipts for
the day were very good.

The supply of both carnations and
roses has increased greatly and, while
the quality of carnations has been hold-
ing up very well, as much cannot be said
of roses. Many of these show the effect
of the hot sun and have no keeping qual-
ity. They pop right open and are
scarcely worth ice-box room.

Bulbous stock is over, with the excep-
tion of lilies, of which there are plenty.
Outdoor bulbous flowers are in full blast
and lilac and snowballs are with us and
hurt the sale of greenhouse flowers.

Various Notes.

The monthly meeting of the Florists'
Society will be held Saturday, May 12.
Several lively discussions will be on and
a good time is expected. The nomination
of oflScers for the ensuing year will be
in order. The annual meeting will be
held in July.

The trustees of the Jabez Elliot flower
market are figuring upon lighting the
market by electricity. This would be a
great improvement and, though the ex-
pense would be heavier, it looks as if the
increase would be justified.

A fire in the building where Wm.
Murphy and "Weiland & Olinger have
their wholesale establishments was the
cause of considerable excitement, but the
damage was light and the wholesale
houses were not touched.

The Drake "Lexow" committee, who
have been investigating the methods used
in managing the affairs of our city, spent
a few days last week in looking into the
park department. Several of the loclal
florists were called upon to testify,
among them being E. G. Gillett, Julius
Baer and Chas. Jones. The testimony
tended to show that so far as the park
department is concerned, there has been
no graft.

C. E. Critchell has been on the sick
list for several days, being confined to
his bed, but is expected to be about in a
day or two.

Visitors the past week were Will Clark,
of Kalamazoo, and C. P. Deiterich, of
Maysville.

Weiland & Olinger have secured a lo-
cation at 310 Sixth street, Louisville,
Ky., and on Thursday, May 3, will open
a wholesale house in that city. Wm.
Gardener, who has been the manager of
their Cincinnati house since its opening,

SPIRAEA QUEEN WILHELMINA.

Last autumn some notes on spiraeas
appeared in these columns, in response
to which Kuyk Bros., Hillegom, sent us
half a dozen roots of their novelty.
Queen Wilhelmina. We potted them up
amd grew them, and today (April 4)
they are in full flower. The blooms are
rather more dense than the common
form, and of a nice clear color. The
habit of the plant is admirable; one in a
6-inch pot carries over thirty good
spikes, the other in a 5% -inch, twenty-
five. Spiraeas run so near together
that it is difficult to say that any seed-
ling is absolutely distinct, but we have
here a robust, free-flowering variety
highly commendable for all practical
purposes. — Horticultural Advertiser.

MIGNONETTE FOR MARKET.

The older varieties of mignonette,
•such as Parsons' White and Miles'
Spiral, have quite disappeared as far
tis Covent Garden market is concerned.
It is Machet, or selections from this
variety, which most growers now favor,
and those who have carefully selected
their own stock for seeds have much
improved the original form. Some
"which we now see in the market carry
immense heads of bloom, but they do
not run up so tall as the older varieties
referred to, and I do not think the
scent is so good. There is one advan-
tage, however; that is, Machet is vig-
orous and easily grown compared with
the others, but even with this I find
the best growers have failures. Al-
though such a common plant, there are
few market things that have given
growers more trouble, or of which so
many failures could be recorded. It
may sometimes be that a fungoid dis-
ease is the cause of loss, as it is with
cinerarias, calceolarias, etc., but I think
it is often attributable to the water-
dng. T have seen many instances where
over-watering has proved fatal, the fine
thread-like roots are so easily damaged.
I have found with spring-grown plants,
that once let mignonette get too dry,
and then water liberally, the roots will
have suffered from drought, and then
when water is given they cannot take
it up; consequently the soil gets soured,
and no new roots are made. — Horticul-
tural Advertiser.

ViNCENNES, Ind. — A local newspaper
contains the following advertisement:
"From this time on C. A. Eieman, the
florist, will give a 'scent' with every
bloom and the 'earth' with every plant
sold at his greenhouses. Plenty of fresh
flowers of all kinds always on hand. '^'

STREATOR. ILL.

Charles leuter and Vincent Kangley
own thirty-five acres, situated along the
river and a short distance "south of the
Vulcan works. They will erect six
greenhouses, each 20x120 feet, with all
modern equipment. Three boilers will
be put in to supply steam in winter.

It is the intention to raise vegetables.
Mushrooms will also be grown. They
will be cared for in the greenhouses in
winter, but in the summer they will
be raised in tunnels, two of which
Messrs. leuter and Kangley propose to
dig in the river bank. Each of these
tunnels will be thirty feet deep, ten feet
wide and eight feet high. A number
of fruit trees are to be set out, and a
strawberry patch.

That the young men have determined
to make it their permanent business is
evident from the fact that each is mak-
ing arrangements to have a residence of
commodious size erected on the premises
during the coming summer. The work
of clearing the land has already begun.

NEW ORLEANS.

The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety had a pleasant trip last Sunday to
partake of dinner at the residence of A.
Alost. His amiable wife, assisted by
her daughters and son, did all they could
to make everybody at home. Mr. Alost
is a great grower of roses, disposing of
quantities of cut flowers. The variety
of which he is cultivating the most is
Zalia Pradel, and he has acres planted.
His ^eld, seen from a distance, could be
taken for a cotton plantation, being a
mass of white blossoms.

The city has been full of visitors this

THE IN AND THE OUT

The kind of construction, the quality of materials — the arrangement or lay-out of the
house, that's what goes into them. The plant result, the profit, that's what comes out of
them; every unnecessary bit of light shut out, is so much money shut out. Our construction
lets all possible light in, leaves no strengthening part out. A scientific machine built on
scientific principles — The L. & B. Co.'s Greenhouses!

FLORIST,

LILY OF THE VALLEY SHOWER.

The bunch of valley shown in the ac-
companying illustration is as nearly in-
formal as a shower can be made. There
is no attempt to preserve a strictly
round bunch at the top, nor to hold the
ribbon in any special position, other
than to scatter the streamers by a few
long sprays of Sprengeri, fastened
downward from the stems of the val-
ley. This not only scatters the stream-
ers but prevents that stringy look seen
in some showers.

In the construction of the top bunch
six or eight valley sprays are stemmed
on half a matchstick and some stiff
green tied in between the bunches to
throw them out from one arother.

This makes a larger bunch without
using an immense number of flowers.
It also reduces the size of the stem
of the bouquet, the advantage of which
is not difficult to see.

Gauze ribbon is used for the shower
and embroidered chiffon for the sash.

Chiffon should never be tied as rib-
bon. Make loops and tie in place with
baby ribbon. In tying a chiffon sash
such as is used for this shower fasten
one loop well up against the side of
the bouquet, bring the other end around
behind the bouquet and make and tie
the one bow on the other side in the
same way. Gertrude Blair.

IDEAS VALUABLE.

Some time ago a window decoration in
a large flower store in the city of Phila-
delphia was entitled "The Story of the
Violet, ' ' taken from the opera, ' ' Prince
of Pilsen, " playing in that city at that
time. It consisted of an old-fashioned
table, an old, worn violin and a mouldy
sheet of music, showing the name of the
selection, "The Story of the Violet."
On the table were scattered small and
large bunches of violets, also on the floor
of the window and there were many other
smaller details. But as an example,
there were six customers of mine who
visited Philadelphia and remarked to me
the ' ' slick ' ' decorated window, as thev
called it. ■ H. C. IT. '

VALUE OF NEATNESS.

"When you meet people you instinctive-
ly size them up by the clothes they wear.
Carelessly dressed people are sized up as
careless in other things. It 's the quiet,
tasteful dresser that commands imme-
diate respect and attention.

And the same thing applies to our
business. Don't send out flowers done
up in an old shoe box wrapped up in
newspaper. You can't afford it. Good
wrapping paper and good boxes are too
cheap. You neither need nor should use
' ' flashy ' ' boxes. Of course, in very cold
weather, when plants and flowers need
extra protection, we must use several
thicknesses of newspaper, but see that
the outside is covered with wrapping pa-
per. With flowers the same as with
candy, the style of package is everything,

for first impressions go a long way
toward making satisfactory and profit-
able customers.

Study color combinations of paper and
string; if you use a soft grey paper use
purple string; for boxes containing vio-
lets use either a pure white paper with
purple string, or purple paper with sil-
ver string, such as confectioners use. A
safe rule to follow is to have your paj)er
match your flowers as nearly as possible
and let the string be an agreeable con-
trast.

If you deliver orders by wagon see
that your wagon is clean, that the horse
and harness are neat and a credit to your
place. It is careful attention to little
details like this that spells S-U-C-C-E-S-S
in great big letters.

Jf you have greenhouses, go through
them and see that the plants are ar-
ranged so that all of a variety are to-
getlier and see that there is no rubbish
under the ])enthcs. Not only is it bad
lui;^!ios8 but it looks bad. I have noticed
a number of ])iaces Avhere the green-
houses were kept absolutely clean, but
the outside. Oli, my! Oh, my! It struck
me as being .something "fierce" and the
prospective customer would receive the
same impression. So get your men to-
jjetiior and have a "cleaning bee" if
your jilace needs it, for once more I
say, "first impressions go a long way,"

Billy Van.

DECORATION DAY.

The purists call it Memorial day, but
practical people among the florists are
content to call to mind that May 30, by
whatever name, has been an increasingly
active occasion in recent years and in
1905 and 1904 taxed the resources of
the flower stores to a notable degree. Of
course nuich depends on local conditions.
If the lilacs and viburnums are in full
iiloom it eases the call on the florists;
if garden flowers are not available it
means that everyone will want flowers
from the stores.

Thc Weekly Florists^ Review*

Mat 10, 1906.

The great increase in the call for
flowers at Decoration day has come from
the broadening of the custom of decorat-
ing soldiers' graves so that now prac-
tically all the graves in the cemetery, are
decorated ; this with the fact that the
country is so prosperous that people
everywhere have the half-dollar for the
* ' bouquet ' ' or the ' ' five ' ' for a wreath
to take with them on this day when al-
most everyone who has friends there
visits the silent city. When you stop to
think that in a good many older com-
munities there are more dead people in
the cemeteries than there are live ones in

the town it is easy to see that there is
sure to be a pretty fair demand, even if
outdoor flowers are fairly plentiful.

But Decoration day is no time for high
prices. Don't try it. If you want the
Decoration day business to keep on grow-
ing, see how much you can give for the
money, not how much money you can get
for the stock. People will not yet buy
at high prices. The married millionaire
monkeying with the real live actress is
the one you ought to try your fancy
figures on; the fellow going to his first
wife's grave can't stand for it. Don't
liolp to discourage him.

PLANTING YOUNG STOCK.

Many growers by this time are getting
their plants into permanent quarters,
either in the benches, boxes or pots.
While bench plants are less trouble in
handling, the fact remains that some
wonderful flowers have been produced
from pots, and more exhibitors every
year seem to be going back to pot cul-
ture.

I am frequently aaked if there arenot
some special soils o^ mixtures of aiiils
that will insure special results. Therp
are no such soils, -^e chrysantheirfam '
will do better in a naioderately light Iree
loam than in heavy black soil^ it is tfue,
when grown under average conditi(ms,^
but the intelligent ciritivator who studies
his soil and local conditions wiHriiave
his measure of success anywhere.

The usual compost heap of sod, put up
in the fall, with ope-fourth of its bulk
of cow manure, an4 chopped down in the
spring, is just as'.^ood soil as anyone
needs. I would much rather have my soil
a little poor at planting time than too
rich, because when the plants have to
hunt around for food they make more
roots and keep the'soil in better condi-
tion mechanically, an'd the soil does not
get sour from continued waterings.

In planting on the benches set your,
plants at least 8x10 inche.s. and, if you
think you can afford the space, 10x12 is

kinds

better. It looks wide just now, but one
must think of the fall, when the plants
have made six feet or more of growth
and the space given will be little enough.

It is a simple matter to plant a house
if one merely takes the first plants to
hand and stic](& them in: The proper

with four feet of head-room from the
soil.

Kinds that I think should be cut down
in May unless one has over six feet of
head-room are General Hutton, Bessie
Godfrey, Mrs. D. V. West and W. A.
Etherington. Some other kinds that need
to be cut down in May are the varieties
that persist in producing buds instead
of good, clean growth, W. E. Church is
perhaps the worst offender in this re-
spect, and I suggest with varieties of
this type to keep the buds picked off
closely, and eventually, when a sucker is
produced, cut away the former plant and
take up the sucker shoot for flowering.
The old Viviand-Morel used to cause us
much trouble with its habit of producing
buds, but either Lady Hopetoun, Filkins
or Cobbold are so great improvements on
it that one never sees Morel any more.

Propagating from now on is not so
easy as it was and calls for more care,
as the sun is getting warm and unless
the cuttings are kept sprayed they quick-
ly wilt, and once they get hard it is
difficult to root them. Spray the foliage
several times a day on bright days and
do not let a current of air from the
ventilators or doors strike full on the
cuttings. A shading is very necessary,
and never forget that the chief cause of
failure to root cuttings at this time of
year is to allow them to get hard and
dry. Charles H. Totty.

STRAIGHT STEMS.

Please tell us how to keep the stems
straight on the chrysanthemums. Last
year crown buds came out too early and
when I pinched the bud out the stem
would take a crook before going up
again, thus spoiling the stem of many a
fine plant, while the flowers were very
large and fine. I propagated them in
March and planted out in the field about
the last of May out of 3-inch pots. Am
located in southern California. F. S.

The best way, in fact, the only way, to
keep the stems straight is to have a
good stake for each shoot. After a plant
has thrown a bud the growth shoot that
Ls retained to run on up is tied to the
stake while it is still soft and tender,
and when this is attended to promptly
and the bud is properly pinched out
right down to the first eye, one can
hardly tell at the end of the season where
the first break had occurred on the stem.
Lest F. S. should be in ignorance of
what is meant bv the first break I would

KAUPPS GREENHOUSES.

At Nevada, Mo., G. P. Kaupp & Son
are giving evidence of being among the
up-to-date, progressive element in the
trade. The accompanying illustration
shows their plant, four houses, with a
total of 10,000 feet of glass. They grow
cut flowers, bedding and miscellaneous
plants, and with additional glass in hot-
beds anil frames produce quantities of
Grand Rapids lettuce and parsley. They
issue a neat catalogue of plants, also
illustrating a number of funeral designs
and with its aid are doing more than a
local business and enjoy a constantly
growing trade. The present season they
will put up another range, to be devoted
to vegetables, and will use the present
range exclusively for flowers and plants.

GREENHOUSE BUILDING.

[A paper by D. T. Connor, read before the
Florists' Club of Philadelphia, May 1, 1900.]

In my short paper I propose to tell
you some of the things I have observed
in greenhouse building. In the past ten
years a great many improvements have
been made in the construction of com-
mercial greenhouses. The greenhouse
builder is as much on the alert to add
new and good features to greennouses as
is the grower to producing new varieties
of roses or carnations.

The Iron Frame.

Perhaps the best greenhouse now
erected is what is known as the iron-
frame house. This house is the most
durable and will last a life-time. Lighter
woodwork is used in this construction
and therefore more light is secured, less
repairing is needed and at the same time
it is more rigid and there is less vibra-
tion. While the cost is more than of our
sash-bar houses, we have quite a number
of well known florists tnat have adopted
this style of houses and consider them
a good investment.

If you stop to think that in any kind
of a house you erect, the cost of labor,
glass, heating and painting is the same,
and often cost more in cheaper houses,
a few dollars additional for material that
would be more durable is money well
spent. In nearly every kina of manu-

facturing plant the first and most im-
portant thing is to erect substantial
buildings and use the latest improve-
ments. This should be true in the flo-
rists' trade and apply to greenhouses.
There are no buildings that suffer so
greatly as greenhouses and they should
be of the very best construction.

Take Builders* Advice.

We find all kinds of greenhouses
wanted, and are asked to build them in
all kinds of places. We meet a florist
who wants to build a greenhouse or a
range of glass, we hear his story and try
to work out what he wants, and advise
him to adopt as near as possible the
standard style of house. It is always
wise, and will cost you less, if you take
the advice of the builder. The builders'
constant association with the florists
keeps them posted as to the wants of
each grower and style of houses to
build.

I might say that the even-span house,
whether connected or separated, is the
style mostly called for, from eighteen to
twenty feet in width and up to 500 or
600 feet long. Connected houses I think
should be from eighteen to twenty-six
feet in width and the gutter line six to
seven feet above the greenhouse floor.
Separated houses are built from eighteen
to forty feet in width. The pitch is usu-
ally about 32 degrees, or seven inches to
the foot. Less pitch can be used in con-
nected houses.

The Sash-bar House.

Perhaps the latest and best improve-
ment in the line of durability is the
combination of iron and wood in what is
known as the sash-bar style of house.
Builders of greenhouses are constantly
working out the very best details for this
purpose. Cast-iron gutters and iron
posts are mostly used and have come to
stay. The eave line, the weakest and
most important point about a greenhouse,
is taken care of by the use of cast-iron
gutters and galvanized iron eave plates.
In the iron and wood construction we
get greater strength, more durability and
less snade and this style costs very little
more than all wood houses.

Cast-iron should always be used when
set in the ground. Cast-iron is so close
to the natural element that it is almost
indestructible and I would say always
use cast-iron in the ground and at the
ground line. Wrought iron, when used.

should be kept well painted or gal-
vanized.

Trussed Houses.

Trussed houses, as planned by the firm
that I am with, are something new.
Houses of this style have been in use
fifty years or more. A great many im-
provements have been made and special
details worked out for this kind of con-
struction, all of which I believe are prac-
tical. One good feature about the trussed
house is that we do not have columns
in the way, except when the houses are
thirty feet or over in width, when it is
best to use columns. Much lighter mate-
rial is used in this construction, in-
suring the minimum amount of shade.

Wood and Putty.

I do not have to tell you that cypress
is the best and only wood to use about
a greenhouse, but I would like to impress
on the florists that merely using the word
cypress does not mean that you get the
best wood. We find several kinds of
cypress on the market and the selection
of this should be left to experienced and
reliable greenhouse builders. The cypress
should always be air-dried and free from
sap.

One of the most important things
about greenhouse building is the use of
good putty. Secure your stock where
you know it is made of pure linseed oil
and the best whiting, I meet many flo-
rists who use good material in building
their houses and glaze with a poor grade
of putty. The "marble dust brand" is
often mixed with white lead. This makes
tiie cost of your putty greater, and still
you have poor material.

I was surprised the other day to meet
a man who told me that one brand of
putty is made at the beef packing estab-
lishments in the west. We all know that
putty made of beef fat will not take hold
of wood. No doubt some of this brand
finds its way under greenhouse giass. If
you secure goou putty you do not have
to mix white lead with it.

It is well known that white lead and
pure linseed oil make the proper paint
to use for all woodwork.

Glass and Glazing Nail.

Another good point in greenhouse con-
struction is the glazing nail. We have
a number of kinds to select from and
nearly every florist believes one to be
better than the other. I believe the zinc

Take Builders' Advice.

I wanted, and are asked to build them in

all kinds of places. We meet a florist

wiio wants to build a greenhouse or a

range of glass, we hear liis story and try

i to work out wliat he wtmts, and advise

j him to ailopt as near as possible the

standard style of house. It is always

Trussed Houses.

Trussed liouses, as phmned by the firm

Houses of this style have been in use
lifty years or more. .\ great m.any im-
jiiovements ha\e been made and special
details worked out for this kind of C(Ui-
strnction, all of which I believe are [)rac-
tic;il. One good fetituri; al)oiit the trussed
house is that we do not have columns
in the way, except when the houses are
thirty I'eet or over in width, when it is
best to use columns. Much lighter mate-
rial is used in this construction, in-
suring the mininnim antount of shade.

Wood and Putty.

1 do not have to tell you that cypress
IS the best and only wood to us<! about
.a greenhouse, but I would like to impress
on the florists that merely using the word
lypress does not mean that you get the
bist wood. We lind several kinds of
cypress on the market and the selection
111 this should be lett to ex[ierience(l and
reliable greiMihoti^.' builders. Tlie cypress
should alw.ays be .airdried ;tnd free ironi

shoe-nail is the only nail to use to hold
your glass down ; you 'vvill finu it will
take a good hold in the wood and stay
with vou.

A few words about glass for green-
houses. Second quality glass is what
mostly is used, and occasionally we find
some one that uses single thick. In case
of hail there will be less breakage where
double thick is used. I would advise
florists to use double thick glass. I be-
lieve glass should be spaced sixteen inches
in width ; we find this makes a stronger
house and there is less breakage.

Benches and Ventilation.

The arrangement of benches is gener-
ally left to the florist and is planned to
suit the kind of stock grown. They
should be placed so that the walks come
along the sides of the house. You get

a better circulation of air and the houses
will last much longer. The cypress ma-
terial is best for the bottoms of the
benches. "While the cost is greater, it
will outlast any other kind of wood and
will be cheaper in the end.

Concrete made of ashes, sand and
cement is now generally used to make
solid beds. I believe in the next ten
years concrete will be an important fac-
tor in the building of greenhouse founda-
tions.

The ventilation of houses is an open
question with the florists. Some want
continuous lines on both sides of the
ridge and others want top sash and
spaces between. We have very little call
for side ventilation on commercial houses.
I believe houses twenty-eight feet wide
and over should have continuous sash on
both sides of the ridge.

CARNATION NOTES-VEST.

Plantinc; Indoors.

The method of growing carnations in
the house during the summer is coming
more and more into vogue each season,
and is being advocated by some of our
leading carnation specialists. In our ex-
perience with this method we find that,
while it possesses certain advantages
over field culture, yet the advantages are
not all on its side by any means.

Usually you will find that growers
who advocate this method do so after
having suffered an unfavorable season,
during which their plants in the field did
not make the usual growth. That you
have more complete control over the situ-
ation under glass cannot be denied, but
the question is, supposing the summer
growing season be favorable, under
which mode of culture is it possible to
produce the most profitable crops during
the season? It is not fair to single out
an especially unfavorable season and use
that for comparison, but such a season
as we have four seasons out of five, and
I feel safe in saying that percentage is
at least fairly favorable to carnation
growing in the field. In fact, the only
kind of a season in which the grower is
unable to help himself is in case of ex-
cessive rains.

It is generally conceded that from in-
door stock you are able to cut a higher
grade of oiooms early in the fall than
you will get from the first crop from
late-planted stock grown outside, but
when housing is done early in July, very
often just as good stock can be cut from
field-grown plants. If a variety is
naturally a cropper, you can cut more
evenly through the winter season from
indoor plants than you can from the
others.

Varieties that do not transplant read-
ily, of course do best when grown inside,
as they are not disturbed at a time when
they are least able to stand it. For
years we have favored growing Lawson
under glass all summer, and it seems to
like that mode of culture; but we find
that where housed early and carefully

handled until it resumes active growth,
the outdoor plants will give a heavier
midwinter crop, and of just as high
quality as the others. If planted by the
middle of July the early blooms will
have as long stems and there will be no
more splits. However, if you plant Law-
son after the middle of August you need
not expect to cut good stems before Jan-
uary.

Tor varieties that naturally grow long
and straggly outside culture is best.
Outdoors the tendency is toward robust-
ness and short-jointedness. You will also
find that by reason of the shorter joints,
when you top a plant in the field it will
break from more eyes than it will under
glass. So it is easier to obtain a com-
pact plant in the field.

Varieties that are inclined to be
grassy are best grown in the field and
planted early in August. By that time
they ought to have reached a fair size
and the check caused by the transplant-

ing induces them to throw buds, while
if no such check occurs they will con-
tinue producing grass until toward
spring. We are working out of those
varieties, however, and we have very few
varieties that are inclined that way.
The ideal carnation plant breaks readily
when topped and grows right into bloom-
ing shoots again.

If you plant your beds from small
pots in April or May, you will lose at
least two months of the season, and, while
carnations are comparatively cheap dur-
ing these two months, yet the profit is
quite enough to be considered. If you
shift the young plants as they need it,
with a view to planting on the benches
in July, then you will find a lot of work
and close attention called for, and if
you are a retailer and grow bedding
stock, you will find this a mighty bur-
densome undertaking. They will have to
be looked after and perhaps shifted,
whether you are busy or not. A two
weeks' wait may mean a stunt or hard-
ening off that will take months to get
over. They must be watered daily at
least.

If you plant in the field you can
usually finish before the spring rush be-
gins and little or no care is required for
a few weeks. In July and August you
are better able to give all the care they
need, as business is at that time at a
low ebb.

I do not wish to discourage the use
of the indoor method; in fact, I think
rather well of it if you are prepared to
give it the proper attention, but that it
is hardly practical for certain classes of
growers i am just as certain. Those who
grow carnations or cut flowers exclu-
sively can give the necessary attention at
the proper time, but for the retail grower
there is too much time called for just
when he is busy elsewhere.

THE JASMINE INDUSTRY.

' ' Great oaks from little acorns grow, ' '
and it was from a very small beginning
that the cape jasmine industry has come
to be one of first importance, not only
to the people of a cei'tain town in Texas,
but to a large number of florists in all
parts of the United IStates. Alvin is
not the metropolis of the Lone Star state.
In fact, the express agent says that the
annual shipments of about a million
' ' capes ' ' represents the gathering and
packing of five boxes of 100 each for
every man, woman, child and "colored
person" in the community.

Alvin is on the Santa Fe, little more
than an hour's ride southwest of Hous-
ton and not quite that far from Gal-
veston and the gulf. It is the recog-
nized headquarters of the cape jasmine
shippers, just at this moment beginning
their season's activity. The first ship-
ments from there, many years ago, were
from bushes grown for no special pur-
pose. For several seasons the shipments
were simply such as circumstances pro-
vided but as the possibilities of the
northern market began to be appreciated
the business was put on a firm founda-

tion by the planting of many acres to be
grown specially to supply cut buds for
shipment north.

The cape jasmine is Gardenia jasmin-
oides. It is a tender shrub four to six
feet high, with thick, glossy, dark green
evergreen foliage. It propagates readily
from cuttings and in the Alvin district
the bushes are grown in rows across
broad fields, the plants having been set
about eight feet apart, which permits
cultivating with the plow as well as the
hoe. The flowers usually begin to open
al)out the middle of May and for
Memorial day uses the buds are shipped
to every state in the Union. The cut-
ting is done in the bud and the work
gives employment during the season to
as many girls and boys as are available
in the town. Cutting is begun as early
in the morning as it is light enough to
see, and only ti>e buds in the right stage
of development are taken, the field being
gone over four or five times a day.
Even then a considerable part of the
crop is lost, as the buds pop open and
are not suitable for shipping.

The flowers are waxy white, with a
strong tropical fragrance. They are
rapidly growing in popularity and all
the shippers are striving to improve the
quality of their stock by culling out the
short-stemmed buds and those with poor
foliage. The variety grown at Alvin is
an improvement on the old form and is
called Gardenia grandiflora. It has
larger flowers and, more important,
longer stems.

The shipping principally is done by
the growers. Formerly the trade was
handled through commission houses but
as production increased the growers be-
gan to take on direct orders as well as
supply the commission men, greatly to
the dissatisfaction of the latter, who
were thenceforward never sure how many
of their customers had been supplied
direct, perhaps by the very shipper whose
stock the commission house was handling.
The result has been a steadily lowering
average price for the buds sold in the
big cities, where the commission houses
still handle hundreds of thousands of
buds, for some seasons many are lost.
There are a number of shippers at Alvin

who simply buy small lots as oft'ered and
forward them north, sometimes simply
consigning them to the express company
at some big city, to be sold for what
they will bring. But except as to this
uncertain commission stock, the business
is now largely on a cash in advance or
C. O. D. basis.

Naturally the size and date of the crop
is a matter of much moment to the
growers and also to the retail florists.
In 1901 the cutting did not begin until
about May 21 and the big crop did not
come until too late for Memorial day or-
ders. Each season since then the crop
lias been jjromptly on time and this year
advices are to the effect that it will be
both early and good.

One of the accompanying illustrations
is from a photograph made last season
in the field of Cook & Cook, who for
some years have been among the largest
shippers at Alvin and are now said to
have the largest field in that locality,
of thrifty young plants.

PIPING.

How much pipe will it take and how
should it be arranged to heat a house
48x125, north wall five feet high, boarded
and shingled ; south wall three feet high
with two feet glass! The south bars are
thirty feet long, the north twenty-four
feet. There is glass in both ends. The
boiler shed is at the east end and houses
a No. 4 Kroeschell boiler rated to heat
10,.500 feet of glass. We have on hand
1,800 feet of 2-inch pipe and 1,000 feet
of 11/^ -inch pipe which we wish to use.
How much more will be required? We
need 55 degrees in Massachusetts tem-
perature. J. H. L. «fe S.

The house under consideration, to
maintain the temperature specified, should
be provided with 1,866 square feet of
radiation. The 1,800 feet of 2-inch pipe
is equivalent to 1,117 square feet of
radiation and the 1,000 feet of 1%-inch
pipe will give 497 square feet of radia-
tion. The two together make about 1,600
square feet, or 266 square feet les^ than
the amount required. If this is to be
made good by the use of 2-inch pipe
430 lineal feet additional will be suffi-

growers i am just as certain. Those who
grow carnations or cut flowers exclu-
sively can give the necessary attention at
the jiroper time, l)nt for the retail grower
there is too nui(h time called for just
when he is bii.sv (dsewliere.

cient. If the 1%-inch pipe could be
exchanged for 2-inch pipe, 209 feet addi-
tional would be enough; i. e., 3,009 feet
of 2-inch pipe will supply the necessary
heating surface.

The 2-inch pipe is none too large for
the long runs — 125 feet — and one size
of pipe will prove more satisfactory
than two sizes. The arrangement of the
pipes must be determined by the type
of the beds or benches used in the house
and the crops to be grown. Without
such information it woiUd be unwise to
venture an opinion. Your boiler is of
ample size for this house. The only
criticism is that the runs are a little
long for hot water. L. C. C.

THE BUILDING BOOM.

Probably the extent of the present
building boom in the greenhouse business
best may be illustrated by the records of
some of the manufacturers of greenhouse
material. "Figures don't prevaricate."
The John C. Moninger Co., Chicago, have
for several years published a statement
as to the combined number of houses
built by them during the preceding sea-
son. It has shown an annual increase
but nothing like the business to date
done this season. Between January 1,
1906, and May 1 they have milled and
shipped material for a total of 151 green-
houses of varying dimensions.

The builders, number and size of the

houses are as follows:

Here are 151 houses, of an average
width of twenty-two feet and an aver-
age length of 150% feet — 151 houses
22x1501^ — or one house twenty-two feet
wide and over four miles long.

It is interesting to note, aside from
the tendency to build "longer, wider,
higher," as a famous railroad advertise-
ment says of its sleeping car berths, that
the Moninger records show a majority to
be building even-span houses, with most
of the others short-span-to-the-south.

MAKING A START.

I have purchased a small piece of land
on which I wish to build a greenhouse.
Not having enough capital to build it
all at present, 1 desire to build in sec-
tions, putting up one or two sections now
and adding later. I would like very
much to get advice from some practical
florists or mechanics on this subject. At
first I would want it for such stock as
carnations, pot plants, chrysanthemums,
etc. It is a corner lot and has no shade,
but there may be a terrace built on the
west side of a lane eighteen feet from
my land, so I may have some shade in
the afternoon. Is it better to buy from
factories that are experts in building
greenhouses or will it be cheaper to have
a contractor build it? Please give me
all information possible, as I am a young
man and vnah to get a start in life. I
have been in this trade since a boy and
love it, so any information will be appre-
ciated. My home is opposite, across thd
road, where I can raise carnations, etc.
B. V. S.

As your lot is quite limited in size,
I would advise you to build connecting
houses. Where space is of little conse-
quence and you could afford to keep the
houses separate, it would be an advan-
tage. To separate them by say six feet,
it would be only to make a pocket for
snow to lodge. If separated at all it
should be at least twelve to fifteen feet
and more is better. This would soon
eat up all your ground.

I am quite certain that the detached
house with glass on side walls both back
and front will give the best results. Yet

there are some advantages in the con-
nected houses, among which are saving
of fuel and cost of construction and, al-
though they are not ideally light as the
detached houses are, yet they are suflS-
ciently light to grow splendid plants and
flowers.

Suppose you build connecting houses,
then they must be equal span with side
or exterior walls five feet high and at
least half their height of glass. Begin
on the south line of your property and
run the houses east and west. One gable
end of the houses can be on the last line
of the lot and the south side of house
No. 1 running along the south line of
the lot, showing off well from the main
street. On the west end you must leave
a passageway for convenience in renew-
ing soil and other material. In future
building you will add houses to the
north.

After trying many different dimen-
sions of houses we find twenty-one feet
a convenient width, allowing three
benches about five feet wide and a path
beneath the gutter. '

There are two styles of iron gutters,
one supported by a single post, either
wood or pipe, and the other by two
rows of posts, in this case always li^-
inch or 2-inch pipe. In the latter case
you save path room, for your path is
beneath the gutter. In the other case
your single post is directly beneath
the gutter and you can't get along
without a narrow path on each
side of the center post. I strongly
recommend an iron gutter, of which there
are several patterns made.

While the grade of your surface of
houses should be as near level as pos-
sible, let the ridge and gutter have a fall
either to the east or west of at least
ten inches. If you build two houses this
year make convenient provision for add-
ing other houses to the north. To do
this finish off the north wall with wood
and glass. Any horticultural builder will
supply you with a wooden plate to fit on
iron gutters and bars to fit to it. This
can be removed at any time you desire,
but most likely you will leave it in, as
a place of your size will want some
houses of different temperatures. Let
the gutters be at least six feet six inches
in height.

My plan as suggested may not be most
convenient for heating, as you naturally
locate your boiler-house on the northwest
corner. Still you can overcome that by

laying pipes in a trench and covering
well with asbestos or mineral wool or
some other nonconducting fire-proof ma-
terial. "We have a 2-inch steam pipe
crossing an orchard a distance of 250
feet, ten feet above the ground. It
carries thirty pounds of steam to a range
of houses the farthest end of which is
500 feet from the boiler and in crossing
the orchard we frequently notice icicles
hanging from the covering of the pipe,
but you will, if you are wise, use hot
water and put in a heater large enough
to warm well what you may build in
future; or, if you can't afford to do
that, then be sure to have heater and
pipes enough to keep the proper tem-
perature at your coldest weather. Then
all the rest of the time you will be sav-
ing fuel, and when you duplicate your
range of glass put in another heater
of ample capacity and connect them so
that in case of a break-down in one
heater you are not thrown on your beam
ends, which in nautical slang means that
the ship is laying on her side ready to
sink.

As far as building material and build-
ing are concerned, write to the many
experienced horticultural builders telling
them the height and width of the houses
and how much side glass you wish, size
of doors and ventilators and they will
send you estimates on everything cut and
fitted, so that any ordinary mechanic, or
yourself, can put it up. Don't think of
a local contractor. They know as little
about greenhouse building as they do of
Greek mythology.

Let your ventilation be continuous and
thirty-six inches deep from the ridge.
You don't need side ventilation. And
don't use in your heating pipes anything
less than 2-inch pipes. If you run against
a snag in your heating problem write to
the Review and we will help you out.
Of course you will use for material only
the best cypress lumber and 16x24 glass.
I have never seen a piece of decayed cy-
press yet after using it twenty years.
Possibly about the time I pass away,
1950, there may be some discovered.

QUICK ACTION WINS.

Some men know better than others
how to grow plants, and in some the
business instinct is the more highly de-
veloped. Ludvig Mosbsek not only knows
how to produce the stock but he has the
faculty of selling; he knows how to make
the stock move, how to make the wheels
go round, faster and faster.

For years Mr. Mosbsek was in market
gardening at South Chicago, 111., but
after a time he began to see a larger
field and a better profit in devoting his
glass to plants and gradually displaced
lettuce with spring stuff. "With his com-
mercial ideas it was not long until he
needed more room. The old place accord-
ingly was sold and a new range of eight
houses built at Onarga, 111,, since which
time the business has assumed several
times its former proportions. Not only are
spring plants grown in quantity, but
stock for fall and winter is provided for
a quick rotation of crops and a large
collection of hardly perennials, phlox,
peonies, etc., is being established. Sev-
eral acres are devoted to cannas and
dahlias, and pansies are grown by the
hundred thousand. He secures his pansy
seed abroad. Several thousand pansies
are shipped daily during the spring
planting season.

Having the stock ready, Mr. Mosbsek
came to a shrewd conclusion that might
well be imitated by others; he conceived
the notion that promptness would pay.
He does not let a deal hang fire. If it
is an inquiry it is answered the day it is
received. If it is an order it is shipped
the day received. It is a policy which
has had a great deal to do in building
up his business. He had forty-six people
on his pay roll last week, for of course
this is the busiest season, several wagons
of express going out every day. Of
course the bulk of the shipments go to
points in Illinois and contiguous states,
but the trade extends to the most dis-
tant parts of the country, and every day
stock goes out to "Washington, Oregon,
Texas and New England. This is the
heaviest year to date and the trade
promises to keep up well, so that next
year a still further increase will be
striven for and may reasonably be ex-
pected. ^ ».'

Vegetable Forcing.

Toledo, O. — Crane Bros., who are said
to have the largest range of greenhouses
in the state, are just finishing an addi-
tion. They are lettuce growers.

GouvERNEUR, N. Y. — A number of
young business men of this village have
under consideration a plan for the or-
ganization of a company to engage in
the raising of vegetables. An option has
been procured on ten acres of land on
the Clinton street road, and it is pro-
posed to erect eight greenhouses, each
100 feet long. It is hoped to incorpo-
rate within a few days with a capital
stock of $10,000. E. C. Gonderman is
interested in the movement.

Fremont, Mich.— R. L. <Jhamberlain,
of Chamberlain & Bunker, made a spe-
cial trip to Chicago to investigate the
working of the "Wittbold watering de-
vice. He was so well pleased with it
that he placed an order for a lot of pipe
and nozzles for trial. He says that
"after looking over the system I am
convinced that mechanical spraying is a
success. "We expect to equip our whole
place of 100,000 feet of glass with the
Wittbold system as fast as we can get
at it." ^

CUCUMBERS.

With increasing warmth and abund-
ance of light the plants make a much
quicker and stronger growth as the
season advances. Setting of the flowers
is also accomplished much easier, but
insect pests become correspondingly
more numerous and more troublesome.
Chief among these are thrips and red
spider. As I have stated before in these
articles, these might be kept down by
syringing if it were not for the tender-
ness of the foliage, which unfortunately
will not withstand without laceration the
water applied with sufficient force to dis-
lodge the insects. This makes it neces-
sary to use some cheap and effective in-
.scctieide for spraying the foliage occa-
sion.illy.

We have found tobacco extract as-

Here are ]51 houses, of an average
width of twenty-two feet and an aver-
age length of 150V1> feet — 151 houses
22xl5o\'-2 — or one house twenty-two feet
wide and over four miles long.

It is interesting to note, aside from
the tendency to build "longer, wider,
higher," as a famous railroad advertise-
ment says of its sleeping car berths, that
the Moninger records show a majority to
be building even-span houses, with most I
of the others short-span-to-the-south.

MAKING A START.

1 Imve purchased a small piece of land
on whicli 1 wish to build a greenhouse.
.\ot having enough capital to build it
all at present, 1 desire to build in sec-
tions, putting up one or two sections now
iind a,lding later. I would like very
much to get advice from some practical
llorists tir mechanics on this subject. At
first 1 would wa.nt it for such stock as
carnations, pot plants, chrysanthemums,
etc. It is a corner lot and has no shade,
but there may be a terrace built on the
west side of a lane eighteen feet from
my land, so 1 may have some shade in
the afternoon. Is it better to buy from
factories that are experts in building
greenhouses or will it be cheaper to have
a contractor build it? I'leasc give me
all information possible, as 1 am a young
man and wish to get a start in life. I
have been in this trade since a boy and
love it, so any information will be appre-
ciated. My home is opposite, across the
road, where I can raise carnations, etc.

B. V. S.

As your lot is quite limited in size,
I would advise you to build connecting
houses. Where space is of little conse-
quence and you could afford to keep the
houses separate, it would be an advan-
tage. To separate them by say six feet,
it would be only to make a pocket for
snow to lodge. If separated at all it
should be at least twelve to fifteen feet
and more is better. This would soon
eat up all your ground.

1 am quite certain that the detached
liouse with glass on side walls both back
and front will give the best results. Yet

there are some advantages in the con-
nected houses, among which are saving
of fuel and cost of construction and, al-
though they are not ideally Light as the
detached houses are, yet they are suffi-
ciently light to grow splendid plants and
flowers.

Suppose you build connecting houses,
then they must be equal span with side
or exterior walls five feet high and at
least half their height of glass. Begin
on the south line of your property and
run the houses cast and west. One gable
end of the houses can be on the last line
of the lot and the south side of house
No. 1 running along the south line ot
the lot, showing off well from the main
street. On the west end you must leave
a passageway for convenience in renew-
ing soil and other material. In future
building you will add houses to the
north.

After trying many different dimen-
sions of liouses we find twenty-one feet
a convenient width, allowing three
lienches about five feet wide and a path
beneath the gutter.

There are two styles of iron gutters,
one supported by a single post, either
wood or pipe, and the other by two
rows of posts, in this case always IV2-
inch or 2-inch pipe. In the latter case
you save path room, for your path is
beneath the gutter. In the other case
your single post is directly beneath
the gutter and you can 't get along
without a narrow path on each
side of the center post. I strongly
recommend an iron gutter, of which there
are several patterns made.

While the grade of your surface of
houses should be as near level as pos-
sible, let the ridge and gutter have a fall
either to the east or west of at least
ten inches. If you build two houses this?
year make convenient provision for add-
ing other houses to the north. To do
this finish off the north wall with wood
and glass. Any horticultural builder will
supply you with a wooden plate to fit on
iron gutters and bars to fit to it. This
can be removed at any time you desire,
but most likely you will leave it in, as
a place of your size will want some
houses of different temperatures. Let
the gutters be at least six feet six inches
in height.

IMy plan as suggested may not be most
convenient for heating, as you naturally
locate your boiler-house on the northwest
corner. Still you can overcome that by

QUICK ACTION WINS.

business instinct is the more hiyiily de
veloped. Jjudvig ^Mosbu'k not only knows
how to ])roduce the .stock but he has the
faculty of selling; he knows how to make
the stock move, how to make the wheels
go round, faster and faster.

l'\)r years Mr. Mosbiek \\as in market
gardeniug at South Chicago. 111., but
after a time he began to .see a larger
field and a better profit in devoting his
glass to plants and gradually displaeeil
lettuce with spring stuff. With ids com-
mercial ideas it was not long uidil he
needed more room. The old place accord-
ingly was sold and a new range of eight
houses built at Onarga, ill., since which
time the business has as.sumed several
times its former proportions. Not only are
spring plants grown in quantity, but
stock for fall and winter is provided for
a quick rotation of crops and a large
collection of hardly j^erennials. phlox,
jiconies. etc., is being establisiied. Se\
eral acres are devoted to cannas and
dahlias, and ])ansies are grnwn by thi'
hundre<l thousand. He secures ids pansy

good for this purpose as anything we
have tried. There are several brands of
this on the market, put up ready to mix
with a given quantity of water. Of the
different makes we have little preference.
Where tobacco stems can be easily pro-
cured the cheapest method is to soak a
bundle of these in a pail or barrel of
water, according to the quantity needed,
and by straining off and diluting to
the proper strength :i cheap anil effective
solution can be procured.

I am unable to lay down a hard and
fast rule as a guide to the exact quan-
tity of stems necessary to give so many
gallons, as the stems differ in strength
and tlie strength differs with age, so the
operator will have to conduct his own
experiments. Err on the safe side by
using a Aveak solution at first and in-
crease the strength as it is seen that
the plants will stand it.

JScitlier this home-made extract nor
any other extract that 1 know of will rid
the plants of thrips or red spider after
they become badly infested, but if used
in time either as a preventive or on the
first signs of trouble, as a spray two or
three times a week, there should be no
difficulty in keeping the plants clean.

Another insect which often proves
troublesome at this season is the com-
mon rose bug, which seems to hatch out
in the greenhouses before it begins to
move outdoors, and gets to work on any-
thing it can find in the Avay of vegeta-
tion and will often severely lacerate the
foliage of cucumber plants. They sel-
dom appear in such numbers that they

cannot be got rid of by hand picking,
but it pays to keep watch of the plants
and where a disfigured leaf is seen make
a hunt for the rose bug. It is a healthy
feeder and in a very short time will de-
stroy quite a few leaves.

Some seasons we have been troubled
by small caterpillars, which appear in
colonies on the underside of the foliage
and quickly work havoc wherever the
eggs hive been deposited by the mother
moth. Hand jiicking is the only remedy
found for these. The indications of
their presence is easily apparent on the
foliage, and if a close watch is kept they
can be destroyed before many leaves
have been destroyed. W. S. Croydon.

BEST FORaNG ROSES.

We will be very greatly obliged if
you will give us a list of what you con-
sider to be the best six or eight florists'
roses for forcing purposes, when grafted.

J. & P.

We take this to mean roses to produce
flowers under glass. If so, then the fol-
lowing have proved the best and in the
opinion of most florists give more flowers
grafted on the Manetti stock than on
their own roots. American Beauty is
undoubtedly the most valuable of forcing
roses, more money being spent in its
cultivation and more bench room occu-
pied than any other two or three varie-
ties, but it is not benefited by grafting.
Bride and Bridesmaid stand almost clear
of all other varieties, the one pink, the
other white. Killarney, pink, is much
thought of by many. Eichmond is the
finest red. Perle des Jardins is the most
profitable yellow. Golden Gate is large

and free, a combination of delicate col-
ors. Mme. Chatenay, pink, is a profuse
bloomer and a great keeper.

Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and Souve-
nir du President Carnot are two most
valuable roses for the florist, but are
classed as hybrid teas and consequently
they will rest during the months of
December and January, yet for summer
blooming under glass they are most valu-
able, keeping their size and vigor dur-
ing the hottest weather, which the true
teas do not.

At first glance it appears very easy to
mention half a dozen of the more popu-
lar roses, but in choosing that number it
leaves outside not a few which are very
desirable and favorites with many.

W. S.

PROPAGATING RAMBLERS.

Can I propagate rambler and other
roses from layers and cuttings? If cut-
tings, how many eyes? Can I use green
wood or one-year-old wood?

W. E. B.

The wood from ramblers that have
stood the Avinter is unfit for propaga-
tion. From unsold plants that you have
forced you might try the green wood,

but not too green and succulent. The
conditions in the ordinary propagating
bed are the reverse of favorable at this
time, there being little bottom heat and
the air being often very warm. In the
fall, say November, the wood of the pre-
vious summer roots readily.

A better plan is to make a mild hot-
bed with a foot or two of fermenting ma-
terial, with three or four inches of soil,
and top off with three inches of sand.
In late June or early July the growth of
the spring will be in the right condition
to make cuttings of three or four eyes
and insert in the sand half their length.
Keep the sand moist and the frame close
and well shaded until the cuttings are
rooted. In two weeks you can admit air
and gradually increase. In five or six
Aveeks you can lift and pot. Almost all
our real shrubs will propagate freely the
same Avav, as well as H. P. roses.

W. S.

ARSENIC FOR FUMIGATING.

The use of arsenic for fumigating in
greenhouses has become a quite common
practice. It is used by many growers
for combating all sorts of leaf-gating
greenhouse pests. The usual method of
applying is to burn the powder upon a
heap of tobacco stems. The result is
that a aeposit of arsenic is spread upon
the foliage of all the plants in the
house. That this is not an altogether
safe practice is shown by an experience
related by Tnomas Allen, one of the
well-Known growers of Beauties for the
Chicago market.

Mr. Allen has had trouble with a
small worm which finds an entrance to
Beauty buds and is next to impossible
to exterminate. It is believed to come
from a very small fly for which various
fumigants have been tried. Mr. Allen
burned tobacco stems on which arsenic
had been placed. A day or so later he
cut out some blind wood on his Beauty
plants and gave the cuttings to some
Belgian hares, which are very fond of
the young tips of the rose growth. In
this case it killed them.

THE IDEAL EMPLOYER.

[A paper by W. D. Abbott, Auburn, R. I.,
submitted In the S. A. F. prize contest.!

Just what constitutes an ideal em-
ployer is a question likely to bring forth
a variety of opinions, numerous almost
as the persons who advance them. To
understand ourselves let us see what
ideal means. In the first place it deals
with the ideas. This meaning is ex-
tended in ordinary thought to mean an
ultimate object or aim conceived to be
most desirable if not, at the time, a
reality. Thus we consider the ideal em-
ployer as the highest type of that class
to which he belongs. He is what we aim
at in developing further the best con-
ceivable employer. He is the kind of
man we want if there is to be the high-
est industrial efficiency, social and moral
progress.

From the individual laborer gaining a
livelihood for himself and those depend-
ent on him, we find developed an indus-
trial organization entirely different.
The laborer saved part of his^ earnings
and let others use this surplus in con-
sideration of certain values agreed upon.
So has developed the custom of men
doing work for others on an increasing-
ly larger scale until we have today our
modern corporations with large numbers
of employees.

Most of us have an idea of the way

May 10, 100(5.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

1785

we want to be treated if employed or
employers — an ideal way, if you please.
To the employee the question of com-
pensation appeals first. It means his liv-
ing, his comfort, and that of his family.
He wants as much as he earns. He has
a right to it. His skill should be paid
for according to its degree. He wants
a stated number of hours for work, or
some understanding with his employer
that reduces extra unpaid-for labor to a
minimum. He wants what skill he has
and uses paid for at its honest value.
He desires that his technical knowledge
return to him its full value, exactly the
same as his employer wants the full
value for goods he sells.

The employee from this standpoint
naturally expects to be under the control
of some one who oversees his work. The
temperament of this man counts for
much in the ease with which work is
done. A calm, strong, tactful, man will
carry his men along with him, willing
to do their work well and with little
wasted time. On the other hand, the
irritable employer wastes more or less
time getting his temper cooled down
to working temperature, while his men
lose time in receiving instructions and
have lost the spirit of efficient work.

The careful removal of cause for irri-
tation outside of the personality of the
employer is desirable. Good tools in
good condition give more satisfactory
results because of the satisfied feeling
of using a machine that works well.
Furthermore a man does not want to
shoulder unjust blame so easily thrust
down on his shoulders. He should be
willing to stand reasonable criticism, but
not that responsibility which should rest
on the employer.

Tn a general way, we have considered
some of the things the employee does
not want. The employer, of course,
wants his just reward for his labor, cap-
ital and skill. He in his turn is entitled
to pay for his labor like the workman.
He is entitled to a return from his cap-
ital because it is saved labor changed
into forms which can be used to pay for
the labor of saving it, and for its use
in furnishing employment to others not
easily found without its help. He is
entitled to a return from his business
ability, or we may say skill, the same
as the laborer wants pay for his.

The difficulty seems to be in reach-
ing a just division of the product of
the employer and employed combined.
It is not the purpose of this paper to
suggest any method of division. It has
rather been to show that such compli-
cated relations as exist between capital
and labor in the employer and the em-
ployee require a well developed moral
fiber to deal justly with each other.
* ' An honest man is the noblest work of
God," is a phrase known to everyone.
True, the employer must be honest with
his men but may a man not be generally
considered honest and yet not arrive at
an absolutely square deal? By that I
mean that he may not consider the finan-
cial needs of his employees in as liberal
a spirit as he does his own. Every man
has a right to some pleasure, some oppor-
tunity to improve his understanding and
some m6ans of allowing his children an
education. It seems that the employer
would ' do well to further these ends.
Such a course would probably decrease
his profits but he should be able to find
a very satisfactory return from such a
decrease where judiciously used thus for
the good of society.

Charles Albert Traendly.

While financial considerations must,
from the relations of the employer and
the employee, be of especial importance,
the qualities of mind not so intimately
connected with the financial relations
must prove equally helpful to both
parties. Interest of a mutual kind by
the employer for the employee would
have a powerful influence toward making
pleasanter and better worth living the
life of each.

So the man must not only be honest
but trusted by his men. No cause for
misunderstanding must be allowed to
creep in and destroy mutual confidence.
A hearty fellow feeling which cements
the individual efforts of the employed
and the employer into one efficient pro-
ductive whole; a unit where no waste
occurs through the arbitrarily used
power of the employer. Someone has
said, "I expect to pass through this
life but once. If therefore there is any
kindness I can show or any good I can
do to any fellow being let me do it now.
Let me not defer or neglect it, for I
shall not pass this way again." A man
with an honest purpose to be success-
ful, and holding such sentiments as these
quoted,^ to be used to their practical
limit, should make an ideal employer.
Such a man would realize that he was a
powerful force for good government.
He would realize his power to make
superfluous certain prohibitory laws gov-
erning employment of labor. He would
be a man of ideals. "Ideals are the only
source of growth." He might, in fact,
be called the ideal citizen, the man, the
pronu)ter of industrial efficiency, social
and moral progress.

THE ASPIDISTRA.

I suppose the__aspidistra takes an easy
first as the favorite house plant. It can
be grown even under hard unfavorable
conditions, but well does it repay careful
cultivation. For compost, nothing suits
it better than good, fresh, yellow loam,
to which has been added a little leaf-
mold and the same quantity of sharp
sand, the whole freshly mixed. If the
plant requires dividing the roots must be

carefully disentangled, and it is very im-
portant that they be not too deeply
buried. These are subjects that shoukl
not be over-potted. I have just meas-
ured my uest plant. It spreads out to a
space of four feet from side to side. The
larger leaves are over two teet four
inches from the soil to the tip of the
leaf. There are thirty- two leaves in all,
and the whole is in an 8-inch pot. — Gar-
dening World.

THE YOUNGEST WHOLESALER.

Charles Albert Traendly, the youngest
wholesaler in New York and probably in
the country, was born July 17, 1905. He
is the son of Frank H. Traendly, of the
firm of Traendly & Schenck, and is now
legally a member of the firm, with an
actual interest in the business. Mrs.
Albert Small is the child's godmother
and Charles Schenck the godfather, hence
Charles Albert and the early launching
of the boat on the tempestuous sea of
New York business life. Mr. Schenck
gave him an interest in the business in
recognition of the honor of naming him. •
This is certainly the young man's cen-
tury and Dr. Osier's limit seems to be
bearing fruit. The wholesale section of
floricultural New York is full of young
blood but this one takes the cake. Mr.
Traendly has not said it is a third in-
terest or a half interest, but it is an
actual fact that the boy is " It. "

TROPAEOLEUMS.

Tropseoleum speciosum, or the flame
nasturtium, is the despair of many grow-
ers, as only here and there can it be seen
in good condition, though everyone wants
to grow it. Pot roots planted deeply in
cool soil, in positions where the roots
may be kept shaded and cool while the
top growth can feel the sun, give the best
chance of success, Tropseoleum tube-
rosum is an excellent and quick growing
plant for covering unsightly walls or
other objects. A sandy soil is conducive
to flowering, and I have found it to do
best on an eastern aspect. — Gardeners'
Magazine.

REVIEW ADVS. MOVE STOCK
QUICK.

Don't neglect your advertisement in
the Review. If it contains items on
which you are sold out, or nearly sold
out, write to have these cut out of the
advertisement. Don't put it off. Do it
in time to catch the next issue. It
does you harm, it does everybody harm,
to disappoint a man who orders from
your advertisement.

A great many advertisements in the
Review are ordered to run "until I tell
you to stop." Don't fail to tell us to
stop the minute the advertisement has
done its work. If an advertisement has
been ordered for three insertions, and
two issues have done the work, don't
fail to head off the third one. It will
save letter-writing as well as disappoint-
ment.

The Review goes oniy to live people;
not a dead name on our subscription
list. Seasonable stock at right prices
sells quickly if advertised in the Review.
With the advertisers' help, we will carry
no dead offers.

FUMIGATING.

Cleanliness not only is next to godli-
ness, but it is the next thing to insuring a
good crop and a profitable business. Bas-
sett & Washburn, at Hinsdale, 111., are

Enclosed find check to cover my
indebtedness to

ified Department, which is ori^nal

cleanly, but not so clean as they would
like to be; also they would like cleanli-
ness to be a little cheaper. It was through
the experiments at Bassett & Washburn's
that the now quite common practice was
perfected, of spraying greenfly and thrip
with the dilute solution of nicotine. This
was found very effective under certain
conditions but a very fine mist is neces-
sary and it means much work to fill'a big
house with the spray; also it takes quite
some nicotine, which wouldn't be cheap
if it wasn't strong.

Experiments with hjydroeyanio acad
gas the past winter have confirmed the
results obtained by the Department of
Agriculture. It has been found that
the gas was effective against greenfly
but not against thrip. Furthermore, it
was found that if the gas was strong
enough to incommode the insects it was
likely to burn the edges of the rose
leaves. Besides, the gas is not the safest

thing in the world for people to fool
with.

The newest way of fumigating for
thrip, which always makes its appear-
ance in large numbers around Chicago
every spring, and is just now on in full
force, is to vaporize To-bak-ine liquid.
There are half a dozen ways this may
be done, but their way is very good.
Small alcohol lamps are used under little
tin pans, each containing two ounces of
nicotine. The first time it was tried
each lamp set fire to the extract in the
pan and some harm was done; the lamps
had been turned too high.

It was found that two ounces of wood
alcohol in their style of lamp would just
evaporate one ounce of To-bak-ine. It
keeps up the fumigation several hours.
The smoke is very effective but it re-
mains to determine how many lamps are
needed tot each house; it varies, of
course, with the size and tightness of the
structure.

This method has one decided advan-
tage in that it is safe. No harm can
come to the operatives unless they im-
bibe the wood alcohol. But Hinsdale is
a prohibition town; however^ Bassett
& Washburn's growers are exemplary
young men whose inclination is for the
quiet pleasures of the reading room at
the Y. M. C. A. rather than toward the
bacchanalian joys of the sightless porker.

HANiyS FUMIGATOR.

Robert Hand, one of the growers for
the Poehlmann Bros. Co., has been
granted a patent upon a process of fumi-
gation invented by him while he was lo-
cated at Cleveland in 1904. It consists
of an apparatus for vaporizing nicotine
by dropping it in dilute form into a dis-
charge pipe containing superheated
steam, by means of which the vapor is
carried into the greenhouse. The in-
ventor states that he has found that no
success will be obtained if saturated
steam is used, but that results are ex-
ceedingly satisfactory if superheated
steam is used. The important feature,
therefore, is the superheater and the
means provided for exposing to the
stream a thin layer of the solution to be
vaporized. The practical operation of
the apparatus will be watched with in-
terest.

ASPARAGUS.

I send a piece of asparagus different
from any other I have. Will you kindly
state its namef It came in with a ship-
ment? of other varieties. E. T.

The asparagus in question was very
dry when received, and had lost much of
its foliage in consequence, but so far
as may be judged from a specimen in
that condition, it appears to be simply
a seedling variation of Asparagus plu-
mosus. Numerous variations of this spe-
cies have appeared from time to time,
and without seeing' a fully developed
plant it would be impossible to say
whether this variety possesses especial
merit. W. H. Taplin.

Kinsman, 0. — ^Albert Mathews lost
about 700 feet of glass by hail May 4;
insured.

Kansas City, Mo. — Walter Berming-
ham, who has charge of Sam Murray's
greenhouses, says that spring trade
started very strong, there being a big
demand for bedding stock before the
end of April. Everything promises to
be cleaned up in good season.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Trade was quiet last week. Stock was
carried over each day until Friday, when
there was a good clean-up of carnations,
but a surplus of roses still remained.
This week conditions are a little better.
Demand is stronger and supplies some-
what reduced by several days of unsea-
sonably cool weather. The shipping de-
mand is beginning again to be felt in
some force.

One of the heaviest cuts of roses ever
known in this market has been on the
past week. Practically every house has
been loaded. The Beauty crops are com-
ing in exceptional quantity and in gen-
eral the stock is of first-class quality.
There has been a good sale for the better
grade of goods at prevailing prices, but
a large quantity of cripples have found
their way to the street merchants. The
short stock has moved slowly. Brides and
Maids have brought low averages be-
cause there is enough select goods to go
around and the poorer qualities are diffi-
cult to dispose of. Some very fine Rich-
mond is seen, also good Liberty. Chate-
nay is among the best of roses, stems in
many instances being almost as long as
on Beauty. Uncle John is also in fine
shape. Kaiserin is received in a number
of houses and Carnot at Bassett & Wash-
burn 's is excellent.

The carnation crop is passing off.
Supplies are much less than in the period
since Easter and prices are slowly stiffen-
ing. There is some complaint as to the
quality of stock, but much of it is still
excellent.

"Violets are gone and sweet peas have

their place. Much good stock is received
and sells well. Daisies are abundant and
many of them remarkable for size and
stem. They are largely used in dinner
table centerpieces. Some outdoor bulb-
ous stock still accumulates and longi-
florum lilies are difficult to move. The
supplies are very large. Callas are quite
abundant. The spring weddings make a
demand for valley which keeps this item
moving. Green goods are a little more
abundant.

Various Notes.

Bohannon & Ganger have dissolved
partnership, John Ganger continuing the
State street store. Lovelace R. Bohannon
has succeeded John Ghormly in charge
of Fleischman's North State street store.

Joe Gurran, for years at Friedman's,
is now with Henry Klunder, where they
report a very heavy run of funeral work
the first of this week.

The Benthey-Goatsworth Go. is making
a very considerable saving by shipping
its cut from New Castle to Chicago in
large corrugated paper boxes. The light
weight saves the cost of the box every
trip and the boxes are good for from
four to six trips each, being returned to
New Castle by freight at a cost of one-
fourth the express company's return
charges. No ice is used and the stock
arrives in better shape than in the ordi-
nary wood cases.

George Eeinberg reports last week to
have been the best first week in May he
ever enjoyed. If prices were low, the
size of his Beauty crop compensated.

The Retail Florists' Association sent a
request to the city council last Monday
evening asking that the chief of police
be directed to enforce the ordinance

against street stands. It was referred
to the judiciary committee.

George Walther, president of the Re-
tail Florists' Association, states that the
secretary is in receipt of letters from
about half the wholesalers agreeing to
cut out red violets ' ' wherever possible. ' '

A. L. Randall spent Saturday and Sun-
day at his farm in Michigan.

George R. Scott is back at his old
stand with the E. F. Winterson Co.

The J. B. Deamud Co. is handling some
very good lilae in quantity.

O. P. Bassett has sold his gasoline
automobile and now runs a White
steamer. He is said to be the dean of
the Chicago chauffeurs, 71 years of age.
Some of his friends tell him it is not
safe to go steaming through the country
carrying 500 pounds pressure, more or
1«5S, but Mr. Bassett says it is nothing;
that all his life he has sat on a safety
valve of one sort or another.

At J. A. Budlong's they think highly
of Nelson Fisher carnation. A fine cut
is on at present. It holds its color much
better than Lawson.

The Florists' Club meets tonight.

L. Baumann & Co. have a specialty that
goes well in natural Asparagus plumosus
that is prepared the same as are cycas
leaves. It endures for months.

Thomas Allen has despaired of eradi-
cating the microscopical worm in his
Beauties, and will plant Brides for next
season. Prior to last year Mr. Allen's
Beauties were among the cream of the
market.

Frank Smith, of Smith & Fetters,
Cleveland, was a visitor last week.

Albert Amling has discarded the big
hanging pots in which he has grown

in considerable quantity. There is slight
prospect of local peonies arriving for
Decoration day.

John Zech says that carnation crops
have shortened materially and that he
looks for an early reduction in rose cuts.
He sees no prospect of heavy supplies of
roses for Decoration day.

Robert Newcomb, formerly of Des
Moines, is handling the rush for spring
plants and seeds at the Chicago Rose

Martha Gundeburg will in the future
represent the Guardian Angel Orphan
Asylum greenhouses on the floor of the
Flower Growers' market. She was for-
merly buyer for J. Bombenger.

The E. F. Winterson Co. has a very
popular novelty in a staple shaped like
a hair pin, very useful in attaching ferns
to the moss in funeral designs and for
many other similar purposes. The wire
is light and pliable and colored green.
A few cents buys a pound, and a pound
would take a week to count. Practically
every retail store has a box of them.

May 4, turned over 6,000 flowers to the

ple in the poorer sections of the city.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Cut flower trade continues very dull.
To say the glut continues would be put-
ting it mildly. All the commission
houses were loaded down all last week
and more stock went to waste than to
customers. The weather was too warm,
more like July than May. This brought
the crop out very rapidly. In many lines
the stock runs poor and roses are gen-
erally soft and off in color.

Funeral work is all that is being done
by the retail stores. The services for
Corwin H. Spencer, first vice-president of
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co.,
called for an extra amount of work last
Saturday. Beauties especially had a big
call for this funeral. A number had or-
ders from outside the city.

Monday a large amount of stock was
still coming in and going at prices as
low as last week. One of the down-town

L. Cella, of East St. Louis, died last

Fleckinstein, who was formerly in the
■wholesale business here. Mr. Cella was
well known among the trade, coming
over almost daily to buy stock. He
leaves a wife and two children, who have
the sympathy of the trade.

Adolph Fehr, of Belleville, called last
week. Mr. Fehr reports that all the
Belleville florists had a big Easter trade
and are now kept busy /with plant trade.

Fred H. Meinhardt is very busy at
present attending to cemetery work, of
which he has the largest trade in that
section. He has very little time to at-
tend to the duties to which President
Kas^ing has just assigned him, but he
is a hustler and will make up for lost
time early in June. A better state vice-
president could not have been had.

One of C. Young & Sons Co. 's large
show windows was broken last week by

dynamiting the old cable tracks in front
of the store. The damage was $1250,
which was paid by the railroad company.

Ernest Strehle, a gardener at Forest
park, was appointed overseer at the park
to fill the vacancy caused by the appoint-
ment of George Ostertag as superin-
tendent of parks. Michael Eatchford
will be retained as keeper of the park.

The Junior School of Horticulture
opened its grounds on Wednesday of
last week at 4142 Shaw avenue, with Al-
len Stevens as instructor. .Three hun-
dred enthusiastic children attended the
opening and each was assigned a plot of
ground 2x10 feet. By the end of the
month Mr. Stevens says more than 700
children will be in attendance.

C. C. Sanders says he never was so
busy as this year with nursery stock and
bedding plants. The big force is kept
busy from morning until night. Cut
flowers are plentiful, but trade is drag-
ging in this line.

The St. Louis Palm Co. is moving this
week to its new location at 1010 Olive
street, which is much larger than the
old stand.

W. E. Burrows, who spent a few week.s
at his old home in Peoria, 111., returned
Monday.

W. C. Smith will leave this week for
a trip to his old home in Milwaukee.
He will visit Detroit, Chicago and other
points in the interest of his growing
business.

The trustees of the Missouri Botanic
Garden gave the sixteenth annual Shaw
banquet at the Southern hotel last Satur-
day evening. Covers were laid for 140,
the decorations being roses and aspara-
gus. The menu card bore a picture of
the late Henry Shaw, who provided in

his will for this annual meeting. W. S.
Chaplin, chancellor of Washington Uni-
versity, was toast-master. The speakers
were Prof. Andrew F. West, Princeton
University; Prof. F. W. Kelsey, Uni-
versity of Michigan; Prof. W. G. Hall,
University of Chicago; Prof. K. M. Jesse
and Prof. W. G. Manley, both of the
University of Missouri.

The florist bowlers rolled two matches
the past week and came out second best
in both, although the boys rolled some
extra big scores. The league season will
end this month, when the boys will coni-
nienoe to make preparations for the Day-
ton convention. J. J. B.

DELAWARE, OHIO.

A brief message received by J. H. Cun-
ningham, May 1, stated his son, Hal
Cunningham, died very suddenly at Los
Angeles, Cal. No mention of the cause
or time of his death was made.

About four years ago Mr. Cunningham
left Delaware and sought the mild cli-
mate of southern California in the hope
of improving his health. He suffered
with rheumatism and his spine was af-
fected. He improved rapidly, and his
sudden death, occurring at a time when
he was supposed to be in good health,
was a shock to his many friends in
Delaware.

Mr. Cunningham was assistant cashier
in the Delaware National Bank and he
resigned that position shortly before his
departure for California. Several years
ago he married Miss Clo Van Trump of
this city, who survives him.

We expect to begin cutting about May lo, and shall have
between 200,000 and 300,000 flowers to dispose of. Our bushes
are in fine, healthy condition and we believe we shall have the
best stock ever put on the market. We oversee our own packing
and cull out poor, bad foliaged buds. The illustration in this
advertisement is 1-16 the real size of the buds. The flowers are
waxy white,, with a delightful fragrance, which is retained after
shipping. The foliage is a dark, glossy green. They carry well
to all parts of United States.

TWIN QTIES.

The Market.

Trade in general has been somewhat
quiet. Stock is abundant. Boses are
coming in nicely, but most of them are
weak-stemmed and not choice by any
means. Nearly all of the stores are
handling seeds and shrubbery in a small
way. The stocks carried by the retailers
who buy their flowers are not heavy, but
the growers who have stores are of
course carrying heavy supplies. Minne-
apolis seems to he favored by fakers, the
street dealers in St. Paul doing little.
Carnations are small, especially the
home-grown stock; the warm weather is
, no doubt the cause of it. Trailing ar-
butus is handled quite extensively by the
leading stores, also gardenias, which,
from reports, sell very well. Spring
openings the past week have called for
quite a number of palm decorations.

Minneapolis.

Otto Will & Son are very busy put-
ting up their new range of houses and
will have one of the finest plants in this
section.

Up to this season they have been
growing only carnations and violets, but
now intend to grow a complete line,
which can be used to good advantage in
this section.

Rice Bros, say that business is keep-
ing up fairly well, but do not expect
much in a wholesale way for some time.
Decoration day will, no doubt, make a
ripple, but that is only for one day.

The Eosary reports a fair trade, but
nothing large. A good stock is always
on hand and the place is prepared for a
brisk demand at all times.

selling quite a number of the new rose,

In sections where no hail fell every-

at least as well as at any time this sea-

finely, but some places show signs of
going to pieces.

the simple reason that the local stock is

much larger amount grown.

CXEVELAND.

The Market.

Business all along the line has been
fine the past week, and prices good,
everything being cleaned up nicely, ex-
cept lilies, which have been going very
slowly ever since Easter. Carnations are
high in price and 'scarce in quantity,
while roses are plentiful enough to fill
all demands.

Various Notes.

There have been several changes
among the different houses, the most
important being that of Bate Bros., who
have purchased the F. K. Williams Co.
place on Eddy road, and will move their
large plant from East Cleveland and
build several new houses 25x300, and a
large boiler house, so that when the
place is rebuilt it will be up-to-date
in every respect. Guy Bate will be in
charge.

Mr. Myers has resigned his position as
head grower for the Gasser Co., and ex-
pects to go into business for himself.
He grew some of the finest roses ever
sent in from that place.

The Essex Greenhouses are offering
their stock of plants for sale, and expect
to dispose of the houses in the near
future.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

"Is it necessary to have such enor-
mous quantities of flowers at certain sea-
sons ? ' '

"Yes, in order to be able to meet
the demand during the short, dark days
of winter."

The above question and answer are
brought vividly to mind by the condition
of the cut flower market today. Flowers
are arriving in immense quantities, the
demand is light and irregular and it is
impossible to dispose of them at any-
think like good average prices. That is
the situation in a nutshell.

To take the bright side, it might be
added that lavender sweet peas are ar-
riving in considerable quantities and
bring a better price than any other
color, indicating a fair demand. Lilacs
are in, and great quantities of dogwood,
both pink and white, are used in decora-
tions. Of the other flowers, it can only
be said that lilies sell worse than any-
thing else, but there is a standing joke
that Children's day is near, though no-
body seems to know exactly what Chil-
dren's day may be, beyond the belief
that that day will come and on it chil-
dren will use flowers, let us hope lilies.
It is, however, a positive fact that on
each Sunday in May some of the
churches of one denomination have a
children's festival at which flowers are
largely used.

The real center of activity has been
shifted from the great wholesale cut
flower houses to the many greenhouses
where box, basket and bedding plants

are produced in quantity. Here the mart
atmosphere pervades, and the proprietor
and his principal assistants may be seen
pencil in hand taking down the orders
of the various visitors who want their
homes or grounds beautified on or about
May 10.

Qub Meeting.

The May meeting of the Florists'
Club was well attended. President
Thomas B. Meehan presided. After
routine business was transacted the ques-
tion of increasing the dues from $3 to
$6 a year was brought up, the idea being
that with larger revenue the club could
extend its usefulness. The objection to
this amendment was that more money
was not needed. The club was doing
good work and giving its members good
essays, discussions and sufficient amuse-
ment. After a lively debate the amend-
ment was lost.

p. T. Connor 's paper on greenhouse
building brought out an interesting dis-
cussion. A. Farenwald advised building
good houses to produce good paying
crops. The question of relative expense
of wood and iron construction was dis-
cussed by J. ij. Dillon and D. T. Connor.
Then Mr. Farenwald advocated using
single-thick glass in 16x24-inch size,
stating it was less expensive and almost
as thick, the exact difference being given.
Mr. Dillon opposed this idea, stating that
he had once glazed a house with single-
thick glass at the warm end and double-
thick at the cold end. The warm end
became so cold that the next summer he
took out all the single-thick, replacing it
with double-thick. He also found that
hail broke single-thick glass, where
double-thick escaped. W. K. Harris

agreed with Mr. Dillon, adding that his
])iate-glas3 house had proved the cheap-
est house on the place. The same
amount of heat kept it 10 degrees
warmer than any other house in zero
weather. In eleven years there had been
practically no breakage. Mr. Harris
also said that it was a mistake to think
small blisters in the glass would burn
foliage some distance beneath. It is
the irregular waves in the glass, the
varying in thickness that causes the
bums. Blisters usually focus too close
to touch the foliage below.

Mr. Farenwald exhibited his three
cups won in Boston, at the rose show.
They were much admired.

Spring Bedding.

From a number of sources it was
learned that more bulbs had been sold
last season for outdoor bedding than
ever before. It is very easy to say that
sort of thing, and of course it is al-
ways true; but it is not always brought
home to the notice of the average person
so clearly as in this case. Parks, squares,
cemeteries, private residences and 'umble
'omes have been beautified with hya-
cinths, tulips, daffodils, crocuses, snow-
balls and whatnot, to a wonderful ex-
tent. Everywhere you go bright colors
are seen. It may be of interest to espe-
cially mention Independence square, with
its patriotic red, white and blue hya-
cinths, and Horticultural hall, in Fair-
mount park, where the entire parterre,
or sunken gardens, have been planted
with bulbs, the center beds with tulips,
usually one variety to a bed, and the
festoons on each side with daffodils,
making a waving effect indescribably

Berkowitz Helps Decorators.

Paul Berkowitz, known throughout the
country as a member of the firm of H.
Bayersdorfer & Co., has a new adjust-
able plant stand intended to help the
hard pressed decorators, whose resources
are so seriously taxed by the many dif-
ferent requirements of small rooms, large
halls and the intermediate stages.
Through the courtesy of Mr. Berkowitz
I am enabled to give a slight idea of
this improved plant stand. It is made
of gas-pipe, light, strong and easily ad-
justable. It can be set to hold a plant
at anywhere from eighteen inches to four
feet in height, and will hold anything
from a 6-inch to a 10-inch pot, either
upright or at any desired angle. The
stand is supported by three legs, rubber
tipped, which will prevent their doing
damage on the most delicate carpet. The
whole can be slipped into a very small
compass, making it easily transportable.

Various Notes.

Godfrey Aschmann, who cleared up
his entire Easter stock almost to a plant,
has refilled his benches with a variety of
desirable spring plants, which he is now
beginning to distribute.

The Market

The wholesale cut Howcr section would
have neen as quiet and solemn as a fu-
neral if Totty and Bobby Schultz and
Alex Burns liad not drifted into town
on Monday. They gave the market an
exhilarating air, tliat lifted the gloom
and made things seem better than they
were. The two from Madison were
breathing fire, and swore against the in-
justice of the express companies, which
have raised the rate on empties to $1 a
hundred, which is just a dollar more
than has been the rule. It makes a lot
of difference to the long-suffering grow-
ers and means the enlargement of the
wagon and automobile express system.
The companies are very independent
about it.

Roses are very abundant and the slump
in prices is severe. Few of the best
Brides and Maids go above $4. Boxes

are often taken, as they run at $1 a
luindred. Thousands are disjiosed of at
half that. Beauties seldom go above
!f!l5. The supply is now beyond any
jHiHsible demand. Carnations lioid tiieir
value well. Their quality was never bet-
ter at this time of the year, and the best
stock maintains the quoted figures easily,
('alias have retrograded about fifty per
cent.

A few violets still arrive, but the
flavor has departed and only siiecial
orders make a market for them at all.

near Pontiac, Mich., on April 21.

Samuel Kilpatrick, for ten years book-
keeper for Walter Sheridan, has formed
a partnership with Emile Eunge in the
real estate and insurance business at
Flushing, L. I., and 149 Broadway, New
York city. Mr. Sheridan's testimony
is one any man may be proud of. In the
ten years not once has he had occasion
to criticise adversely the work of Mr.
Kilpatrick. He was a great favorite
and will be missed severely.

L. J. Kreshover has removed to 106
West Twenty-sixth street.

Fleischman has fully recovered from
an operation for appendicitis and is back
at his desk after only ten days' hospital
experience.

Wednesday and Thursday of this week
the annual exhibition of the New York
Horticultural Society takes place in the
Bronx Park Botanic Gardens.

Next Monday the New York Florists'
Club's monthly meeting takes place at
7:30 p. m. A fine exhibit and a large
attendance are anticipated.

The Kervan Co. has a novelty for
florists in mounted heads of foxes, coons
and fawns, from Florida.

Eeed & Keller's latest novelty is a
cycas leaf-holder, which is very useful.
A patent has been applied for. They
also have a double-angle pot-holder, which

will be very helpful in decorations. Their
new building next door is almost ready

Seligman and Levy make a strong

sive business.

It is the year for young men in flori-
culture. Kumors are heard of another
combination, and yet there is room. Be-
tween marriages and partnerships and
enterprises, these be strenuous days in
the wholesale district.

John B. Nugent 's only sister died
April 29 and was buried May 1. Many
beautiful floral tributes from his friends
in the trade showed their universal sym-
pathy.

S. Eodh reports the past year the best
in his experience. Easter's call for rib-
bons was greater than ever. His head-
quarters on West Twenty-eighth street
are very conveniently located.

Walter Sheridan is convalescing from
a severe attack of the grip and is back
at headquarters again.

Alex. Guttman cables his safe arrival
in Europe after a pleasant voyage.

LeMoult, the veteran of the Bowery,
directly opposite the approach to the new
Williamsburg bridge, will have to vacate
the old store before long. After a stay
there of a generation a street is to be
opened directly through his premises. He
reports thirty-five per cent more business
this year than in the best in his long
career.

Not far away is the extensive estab-
lishment of Jolin J. Foley, who has his
own greenhouses at Madison. His album
of floral designs is having a steady sale.

Von Praag, on Broadway, has just

completed the outdoor decoration of the
American Garden, a summer resort on
Lennox avenue and One Hundred and
Sixteenth street, and has a unique design
in sod and stone in front of his store,
with a border of pansies, the name be-
ing worked out in stone on the grass
background, some of Ed Ladiges' handi-
work.

0. V. Zangen has on exhibition in the
fine store of M. Hendberg, Hoboken, a
splendid specimen of Whitmani fern in
a 10-inch pot with a spread of three to
four feet. For thirty years Mr. Hend-
berg has occupied this store. Mr. Zan-
gen has added this fern to his other in-
terests and is selling a large number of
this novelty.

B. J. Ezechel has his card out as whole-
sale florist with headquarters at 52 West
Twenty-ninth street.

M. Bowe's windows were ablaze with
a fine display of Cattleya Mossiee Mon-
day evening that were very superior and
effective. Business continues good here
all the time and the European trip for
the present is postponed.

Almost all the tenants in the Metro-
politan hotel, Broadway, have removed
except Thorley, who still holds the fort.
As fine a vase of white chrysanthemums
as ever graced any window in the height
of the November season attracted much
notice in his window on Monday evening.

H. E. Froment is handling an enor-
mous quantity of roses daily. One of his
prominent growers is building a house
for American Beauties 65x250, so there
will be no undersupply here next season.

A. J. Fellouris next week will move
into his new store on Twenty-eighth

and basement, as well as retain his pres-
ent quarters on Sixth avenue. Th3 upper
floors of his house will be made into
offices. It was a good purchase and is
already worth much more than when he
secured it.

Max Liraprecht is quite ill at his home
in Jersey. There seems more than the
usual complaint of grip, doubtless owing
to the late season.

Summer seems some distance away yet
and the nurserymen especially have much
to be thankful for. The department
stores have overdone the hardy rose busi-
ness. Many of them have large quan-
tities of their importations, dry and un-
sold. You can 't fool all the people all
the time. The suburbanites are getting
their eye teeth cut and even the cleaning
up at 25 cents a dozen doesn't move
them.

The auctions are well patronized just
now. A large number of ladies attend
at the demonstrations of the handsome
auctioneers on Fulton street. Good prices
prevail. Some fine trees are offered at
Cleary's, also other home-grown nursery
stock.

There will soon be another removal or
two from Thirtieth street. One of the
wholesale stores on Twenty-eighth street
upstairs has the seductive sign "to let"
on its window.

State Vice-President William Sie-
brecht, of Astoria, is a good appoint-

ment by President Kasting and a popu-
lar one here.

Saltford is receiving some fine stock
from his southern shippers.

Mr. Klein, lately with Julius Lang in
his plant department, is now with
Charles Millang.

James Hart grows happier daily be-
case of his settlement in Twenty-eighth
street. His business is fast increasing.

The outing is only eight weeks away.
Time for every member of the New
York Florists' Club to plan for it.

The Market

No very striking changes have oc-
curred in the market during the past
week. Supply and demand have each
been fairly good. Boses are holding
their own, the better grades realizing
good prices. Best Beauties go at $20
and $25 per hundred. A few Liberty
and Richmond bring $15 and extra select
Brides and Maids $6 and $8. These are
top figures and thd lowest grades clear
out at $1 per hundred. A few Carnot
and Kaiserin are arriving. There are
some hybrids, but these are now a very
small factor in the Boston market.

Carnations vary from $1.50 to $3 per
hundred. A few double violets still ar-
rive and realize 50 cents per hundred.
Sweet peas at 50 cents to $1 are not too

abundant. Some very good gladioli sell
at $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Varieties are
Snow White, Shakespeare, Augusta and
May. There is a good supply of stocks,
myosotis, candytuft, antirrhinums and
other seasonable flowers. Indoor bulbous
stock is over for the season. Outdoor
narcissi bring $1 to $1.50 and tulips
$1.50 to $2.50 per hundred. Valley re-
mains about the same and there is no
change in green goods.

Bedding plants now cut quite a little
figure with many of the florists and the
demand this season promises to be heavier
than ever, at last year's prices.

Weekly Exhibition.

The first Saturday exhibition of the
year was held May 5. Coming, as it
does, at a very strenuous season, there
were rather fewer exhibits than are
sometimes seen, but the quality was very
high class. For six calceolarias, distinct
colors, James Stuart, gardener to George
F. Fabyan, won first and second prizes
with magnificent plants a yard in diam-
eter. The same exhibitor was first and
second for six distinct fancy pelar-
goniums. His plants were the best we
have seen at any Boston show. His vari-
eties, which were all good, were Alice
Love, Duke of Portland, May Queen,
Mme. Thibaut, Purity, H. M.. Stanley,
Bridegroom, Mabel, Lady Duff, Miss
Henderson, Nellie Hayes and Mrs. Ash-
ley.

Converse, showed Avell flowerert plants of
Cattleya Mendelii and . Amaryllis John-
soni.

W. C. Bust, gardener to Dr. C. G.
Weld, had two magnificent specimens
over four feet in diameter of Calceolaria
Golden Gem. This is a plant which flo-
rists might profitably grow for Decora-
tion day trade. The flowers stand well
when cut and work in finely for bou-
quets. It is of the easiest possible cul-
ture.

For collection of narcissi, F. L. Ames
estate, W. N. Craig gardener, secured
first prize, showing over forty varieties.
The collection also received a silver
medal. W. J. Clemson, J. O. Kristenson
gardener, took second prize. For forty-
eight tulips W, Whitman, M. Sullivan
gardener, was first and third, and W. J.
Clemson second.

For forty-eight pansies, the prizes went
to Mrs. A. W\ Blake, J. L. Smith gar-
dener, Mrs. E. M. Gill and J. B. Shurt-
lefl'.

Kobert Cameron, from the Harvard
Botanic Garden, had a large display of
tulips, narcissi, Viola cornuta, phlox,
])riuiroses, alyssum and other early spring
flowers. Displays also came from W. J.
Clemson, AV. Whitman and Mrs. E. M.
Gill.

W^. W. Eawson & Co. showed three nar-
cissi described as hybrids between N.
poeticus ornatus and the polyanthus nar-
cissus under the name of N. poetaz. The
varieties were Alsace, Triumph and
Louise. The flowers were variable in
size, some being as large as N. poeticus
ornatus with more of the odor of poly-
anthus narcissi. The perianths were
pure white and cups yellow with no trace
of the scarlet as in N. ornatus. The
plants were said to be quite hardy. An
award of honorable mention was given
with the desire that they be shown again.

W. N. Craig received a cultural cer-
tificate for a vase of Lilium candidum.

There was a nice display of forced
vegetables.

An invitation to hold a field day at the

Some of the earlier lilacs are already
coming into bloom. These and other
flowering shrubs promise an unusually
lavish display this season.

Splendid rains following a dry spell
have given vegetation a much needed
fillip. Carnation men welcomed it, es-
pecially. Peirce Bros., Wm. Nicholson
and other large growers have finished
putting out their stock in the fields.

William Stockwell was given a month 's
sentence at hard labor for stealing tulips

from the Boston Public Gardens, and an
added month for being inebriated at the
same time, before the Boston municipal
criminal court on May 4. A few more
such salutary sentences Avould diminish,
garden robberies, which are usually
numerous just prior to Memorial day.

Memorial day talk is now one of the
chief topics. That the demand will be-
phenomenal admits of no question, and
all are striving to secure sufficient stock
to meet the coming calls.

Clkveland, O. — The J. M. Gasser Co.
is cutting some very fine Gen. Mac-
Arthur roses. The flowers are large,
stems long and foliage heavy. The fra-
grance is an especial feature with this
rose and Smith & Fetters say that it is
the most popular variety with their best
trade.

New Plants.

I wrote you some time ago regarding
a white vinca and will say it has come
to stay. I have two plants in fine con-
dition, planted on a solid bed, which
have a dozen fine runners on each plant.
They have not up to the present showed
a trace of green or variegated leaf. They
are as vigorous as Vinca variegata in
every way.

A double frond sport from Scottii has
made its appearance. ' The newcomer
has made fine runners and young ferns
have made their appearance on them,
but are yet not large enough to speak
about them. I will write you again re-
garding both plants as they grow in size.

THE COAL STRIKE.

It will be reassuring news to the
greenhouse owners in the east that the
miners in the anthracite coal fields have
accepted the original proposition of the
employers and will enter into contract
for a continuance of operations at the
same wage as has prevailed since the
settlement of the last big strike. This

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

Fruit growers will have a plentiful
crop this season, especially in plums and
apples, providing we get no late frosts to
nip the blossoms. There has never been
a better show of blossoms. Fruit growing
is being treated more and more scien-
tifically and it is now an important item
of agriculture. Apples for several years
have paid the best. This has caused a
good trade to be done in nursery trees,
the nurserymen's stocks of all sizes be-
ing quite cleared.

Easter week in the cut flower and
plant trade was very good, the best ex-
perienced for years.

London has lately been provided with
a new fruit and flower market, a splen-
didly arranged market being opened at
Brentford, on the west of London. Pre-
viously Brentford market wap carried on
in nothing more than an open space, and
Covent Garden has for a long time been
too crowded for the proper conduct of
business. J. B.

assures a supply of hard coal for next
season at practically the same prices
paid the past year.

The action of the miners of anthracite
seems likely to hasten the adjustment of
the wage question in the bituminous
fields, where many thousands of men are
now on strike for increased pay. It is
thought the miners in the west soon will
see the folly of holding out for that
which the men of the eastern fields have
thought it unwise to try to secure. Mar-
ket conditions also help to encourage the
mine owners to resist the demands of the
miners. Coal never was cheaper, all
things considered. Nearly all the big
consumei's have supplied themselves with
fuel in suflBcient quantities to make it
unnecessary to purchase coal for some

Latest advices from the Quedlinburg
and Erfurt seed-growing districts in Ger-
many are to the effect that more favor-
able weather conditions have given seed
crops a normal prospect.

Throughout the onion growing section
of Ohio reports indicate that the grow-
ers are having trouble to get their fields
planted. "Wet weather keeps the ground
in poor shape for working.

A SCARCITY of e«ffly cabbage plants
is developing. At the centers where
plants are usually to be had in large
quantities the growers' are calling upon
other sections to supply them.

A NEW red cabbage is shortly to be
introduced by Hjalmar Hartmann &
Co., Copenhagen. It is called Danish
Stonehead and is said to be a very dis-
tinct strain and a great improvement on
red cabbages.

Indianapolis, May 3. — Harry 0.
Chamberlain was today appointed re-
ceiver for "William H. Everitt, seedsman,
on complaint of James A. Everitt, a
brother of William H. Everitt, who
claims part ownership. A dissolution
of the firm is asked.

The May frosts that the wise ones
have been predicting have arrived.
Beports from many of the gardening
sections throughout the west state that
considerable damage has been done to
beans and other tender vegetables. It is
reported that a very large quantity of
tomato plants have been frozen.

Chicago: — There is yet quite an acre-
age remaining unplanted in the northern
onion set district. Unfavorable weather
has kept operations back. If the seed
is not in the ground by May 15 it will
be too late to mature a good crop. Three-
fourths of the usual acreage, however,
is planted, and many of the fields are
far enough along to permit cultivating
with the wheel hoe.

Congressman Gaines, 'of the Nash-
ville, Tenn., district, admits that the
government trust-busters have no evi-
dence of an illegal combination of seeds-
men, but he has heard that there are two

that without the congressional free seed

rascally, rapacious, ruthless, relentless

FREE SEEDS.

In the due course of events the lower
house of Congress, having by a vote of
153 to 58 adopted Lamb's amendment
providing for $242,920 for free seeds,
passed the agricultural appropriation
bill as amended. The bill carries a total
of $7,481,440.

There is one slight chance that the
appropriation may yet be defeated. The
Senate Committee on Agriculture, of
which Eedfield Proctor, of Vermont, is
chairman, has granted a hearing on free

WHO'S WHO?

A leading seedsman writes: "We note
that the House of Representatives at
Washington has amended the agricul-
tural ai)piopriation bill to again provide
for the free seed distribution, and we
\vish, when it comes up in the House for
final i)assago, that you would publish for
future reference the members' votes on
the bill in order that we may know where
they stand. If they stand against it
after the tremendous amount of agita-
tion, we shall know exactly what it
means. ' '

The Review regrets that its esteemed
contemi)orary, tlie Congressional Record,
has scored a beat on us in the matter of
publishing this information. As the
table showing the vote would occupy
nearly a page of the Review we nuist re-
fer any seedsman who wishes to make it
a personal matter Avith his congressman
to the pages of the Record. If you do
not care to ask your congressman for a
copy, send 8 cents (not ])ostage stamps)
to Chas. A, Stillings, Public Printer,

ord of May 2. Tlie \()te is set fortli on

' * Tlie seed <-rops were uninjured l>y

crop is better than it has been for two

is suffering is that of the onion: it has

How serious this will prove we cannot

scarcely any semblance to the bushy lit-

but I think the special strains of one or

BONE MEAL AND LIME.

Experiments which have been carried
out with bone meal in comparison with
other phosphatic manures have frequently
shown that the action of the phosphoric
acid in bone meal is as a rule less than
it is when in the form of superphos-
phate, although in many instances the
reverse has been found to be the case
in actual practice.

It was pointed out in 1900 by Kellner
and Bottscher that the experiments which
gave results unfavorable to bone meal
were made either on soils which were
naturally strongly calcareous or on those
to which carbonate of lime had been
added. They found, in fact, that the
effect of bone meal was much less on
calcareous soils, or on soils manured
with lime, than on unlimed soils, and
that the manurial action of the phos-
phoric acid in bone meal depended very
largely on the lime content of the soil.
After attention had been directed to this
jioint, pot experiments were carried out,
Avhich gave results favorable to bone
meal. — Gardeners ' Magazine.

PACIFIC COAST.

Santa Cruz, Cal. — W. E. King re-
ports that all local greenhouses passed
through the earthquake without damage.
He was in San Francisco during the
earthquake of 1868 and believes it to
have been fully as heavy as this one.
But it was not the same city in those
days.

THE FRISCO PICTURES.

The first picture, taken especially
for the Eeview by its San Francisco
correspondent, shows the locations of the
principal flower stores of San Francisco
prior to April 18. There is little but
ashes there now. In the area shown were
Pelicano & Co., Podesta & Baldocchi,
Sievers & Boland, Stevenson, Frank
Shibeley, the Shanahan Floral Co. and
half a dozen others not so widely known.
The large building is the shell of the
splendid Fairmount hotel; nearer is the
J. F. Flood residence.

The other picture shows the way what
remains of the population have since sub-
sisted. It is the bread line. Rich and
poor alike have had to subsist on the
food distributed by the authorities, for
during many days there was no other
food in San Francisco, even if one had
money to pay.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

Really there is no market, and not
liable to be anything in that line for
quite a while. There is not a first-class
flower store in town. A few small places
in the neighborhood of the cemeteries
and probably a dozen peddlers on the
streets is alfl have to chronicle for San
Francisco's trade for the past week.
The destruction along all lines was so
complete and the dealers so thoroughly
wiped out in a business way, that none
has quite recovered enough to attempt
to restore anything like a retail store.
The people seem to be dazed and every-
one who is able is trying to get out of
town.

A few of the retailers have moved

over to Oakland and there is some talk
that they will open in that town, but
there are already enough there to handle
all the trade, which is not over half of
its usual volume. Nobody wanl? flowers
in these troublous times. All the banks
are closed temporarily; they as yet dare
not open their vaults, so money is a
scarce article. The Oakland banks, after
remaining closed a week, are now paying
depositors small sums to tide over exist-
ing difficulties.

Everything depends on how soon the
insurance companies will begin to pay
losses. There is probably about $125,-
000,000 to be distributed within the next
few months to help cover losses esti-
mated at about $275,000,000. From
what I amiable to learn, although the
florists assisted in swelling the total
amount of the fire loss, they were not
fortunate in being well insured, as a
rule, so whatever benefits are derived
from the companies will reach them only
indirectly.

I do not see how it will be possible
for the retailers to get back much of
their trade for two years at least, and
it will be much longer before we have
anything like the business enjoyed up
to April 18. Many are going into other
lines of work and several have departed
for more prosperous localities.

With the growers it is really worse,
as their expenses continue indefinitely,
with absolutely no chance to sell any-
thing and collections impossible. Of
course, there is a shipping trade, but it
is always light at this time and not over
five per cent of the stock is used up in
this way. Some of our largest growers
have discharged their help, in some cases
as many as fifty men, and let their car-
nations and roses dry up, merely keep-
ing a caretaker on the premises. Other
growers are staying with their houses
determinedly and hoping that something
may turn up to throw a little light on the
situation, but with everyone the events
of the past three weeks are like a hor-
rible nightmare.

Variouf Notes.

Domoto Bros, have temporarily stopped
the construction dt their range of new
glass. The conditions are such that at
present it is impossible to get sufficient
glass to continue with the work.

Chas. Stappenbach, having lost his
store on Polk street, will reopen at his
residence on Sutter street in a few days.

Schwerin Bros, have discharged most
of their help, keeping only enough men
at work to keep their stock alive.

Chiappari & Baldocchi lost the hotel
property recently acquired by them on

Bush Btreet. They refused an offer of
$80,000 for the ground and building a
few weeks ago.

Sievers & Boland have opened tem-
porary quarters at their nurseries on Van
Ness avenue, which luckily escaped the
general conflagration.

John Young, of the Dwight Way
Nurseries, Berkeley, has re-leased the
property used by him for many years
for a further term of three years.

A. Rossi, of Rossi Bros., was united
in marriage with Miss Louise Ferro-
giarro on April 26. He will make a
trip to Europe on his honeymoon.

The Cox Seed Co. has opened a tem-
porary office at 108 Cole street. They
will handle the bulk of their seeds from
their Oakland warehouse.

The camping of 50,000 refugees in
Golden Gate park has played sad havoc
with the park.

A. Mann, Jr., has opened temporary
quarters at 2041 Pine street.

Frank Pelicano can be found at his
nursery on Mission road, near the five-
mile house.

One of the results of the recent fire
is to cause a great scarcity of florists'
moss, several large lots of it being
burned up in San Francisco. All the
surrounding towns get their supplies
here.

John Martin, of Ross Station, has
purchased the Park Fellow's collection
of orchids and removed them to his new
orchid houses.

The California Evergreen Co. has
opened at Thirty-fourth and Telegraph
avenue, Oakland.

It is estimated that over 1,000 men
and women are thrown' out of employ-
ment by the temporary ending of San
Francisco's flower trade.

An absolute want of demand for all
kinds of colored flowers has put the
price of such stock at anything a pur-
chaser will offer. American Beauty roses
can be had anywhere at 25 cents per
dozen, and carnations of fancy varieties
at 5 cents to 10 cents per dozen. There
is a slight sale for funeral flowers, that
is all. G.

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOQATION OF NURSERYMEN.

Pres., B. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce-
Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md.; Sec'y, Geo.
0. Bearer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches-
ter. The 31st annual convention will be held at
Dallas, Texas, June 13-15, 1906.

The imports of trees and plants
through the port of Ncav York last week
were valued at $19,321.

The season is over in the southwest
and nurserymen are preparing for fall
and the spring of 1907 with much larger
acreages than usual.

In the Boston district the Bay State
Nurseries, Blue Hill Nurseries, J. W.
Manning and other local nurserymen are
experiencing the most remarkable call
for trees and shrubs in their history.
The call for evergreens is unprecedented.

The Texas Spencer Seedless Apple
Co., of El Paso, was incorporated May 1
with authorized capital stock of $100,-
000; purpose, to grow, propagate and
sell Spencer seedless apples. The incor-
porators are Albert Jeffries, John W.
Fisher, Oliver M. Fairchild and Samuel
H. Fairchild.

A DEAL was closed at Davenport, la.,
April 30, whereby the old Nichols & Lor-
ton nursery, probably the oldest in Scott
county, was sold to Harry Bryant and
Adolph Arp, and the farm whereon it is
located leased to Messrs. Bryant and
Arp for fifteen years. Mr. Arp is super-
intendent of the Davenport park system.

P. M. KosTER, of Koster & Co., Bos-
koop, Holland, has been in Chicago sev-
eral days the past week. He reports
good business, in fact among the best
he has ever enjoyed. When Mr. Koster
began his annual trips to America there
were only two others coming, but this
year there were fifteen nurserymen from
Boskoop alone.

Death was the alternative for Charles
S. Greening, president of the Greening
Bros. Nursery Co., Monroe, Mich., if he
did not deposit $1,000 in a certain hid-
ing place for plotters who wrote him the
threatening letters. Twice Mr. Green-
ing notified the oflScers of the game and
went through all the maneuvers laid
down by the blackmailers, but both times
the fellows slipped away unseen.

L. A. Goodman, president of the
American Pomological Society and secre-
tary of the Missouri State Horticultural
Society, asserts that the survival of
twenty per cent of the peach buds is
sufficient for a full crop of peaches, and
says that in all parts of Missouri a
greater proportion of buds escaped the
rigors of winter, the damage being
greatest in the southwestern part of the
state.

THE DALLAS MEETING.

Further addresses have been arranged
on part of the meeting of the American
Association of Nurserymen at Dallas,
Texas, June 13 to 15, as follows:

"A Uniform Standard of Grading
Nursery Stock, and Its Adoption," by
C. J. Brown, Kochester, N. Y. ; "Orna-
mentals, Their Increasing Importance,
Propagation, etc.," by J. Wilkinson El-
liott, Pittsburg; "Commercial Fertiliz-
ers for Trees," by W. F. Heikes, Hunts-

ville, Ala. ; ' ' Storing Nursery Stock,
Dampness, Temperature, Packing, etc.,"
by Wm. Pitkin, Eochester.

A fruit banquet, similar to the one so
successful last year, is i)lanned.

TENNESSEE NURSERYMEN MEET

The Tennessee State Nurserymen's
Association was organized at Nashville
May 2. Three sessions of the members,
who numbered about fifty, were held. It
was made one of the by-laws that the
annual convention be held in Nashville
each year on the day following the con-
vention of the State Horticultural So-
ciety. Leading nurserymen were elected
officers, as follows: J. C. Hale, of Win-
chester, president; Thomas Brazelton, of
Winchester, vice-presideiit ; A. J. Smith,
of Knoxville; Sam Byrns, of Silvia, and
H. L. Nicholson, of Winchester, vice-
presidents for east, west and middle
Tennessee, respectively, and J. M. Bent-
ley, of Knoxville, secretary and treas-
urer.

The grading of nursery stock was the
principal subject discussed at the first
session, several addresses being made,
with a general discussion following. W.
F. Heikes, of Huntsville, Ala., was pres-
ent and participated. Other addresses
were : ' ' Tennessee Nursery Interests, ' '
by J. C. Hale, of Winchester ; ' * Needs of
Tennessee Nurseries," by Sam Fowler,
of Clinton, and by Thomas Brazelton,
of Winchester, and ' * History of the Nur-
sery Business in Tennessee," by John
Shadow, of Winchester.

The principal feature of the after-
noon session was the address of Prof. H.

A. Morgan, of the State University, on
the injury of fruits by insects, illus-
trated with stereopticon views.

Another important feature was a gen-
eral discussion as to the grafting of fruit
trees by the whole root and half root
processes. The ubiquitous agent also came
in for discussion, along with the other
troubles.

* ' Our Relation to the National Nur-
serymen's Association" was the subject
of an address by A. I. Smith, of Knox-
ville; G. M. Bentley, of Knoxville, spoke
of "Nursery Inspection in Tennessee."
The session was concluded with an ad-
dress by James Morton, of Clarksville,
on the subject, "Greenhouse Interests."

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

In the case of D. T. McCarthy & Sons
against the H. S. Taylor Nursery Co.,
of Eochester, Justice Lambert, at Lock-
port, N. Y., directed a verdict for the
defendant. This is one of the peculiar
cases arising under our incorporation
law. Two Taylor brothers had for years
conducted a nursery near Eochester un-
der the name of H. S. Taylor & Co. In
1893 they, with one J. Frank Norris,
organized a corporation by name the
H. S. Taylor Nursery Co. It was un-
disputed that one of the Taylors came
to the plaintiffs and bought trees. Fail-
ing to get their pay they sued the cor-
poration, and it defended on the ground
that the sale was made to the Taylor
brothers as a firm and not to the incor-
porated company. The court upheld the
contention that the action had been
brought against the wrong concern.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

I8J3

ANNOUNCEMENT

Some fourteen years ago I began the growing of carnations, and especially of seedlings, more as a pleasant occupation from
which I derived considerable recreation and relief from business cares and worries. In a few years the results attained in my work
proved so encouraging that I began the introduction of such new varieties as proved commercially successful and had received the
approval of the retail florists of New York Qty.

This was done in the belief that the dissemination of the best results of my labors among the craft would prove beneficial and
profitable to our carnation brethren. During the past two years I have become aware that more or less loss has been incurred by
many in the trade who have purchased new varieties, either of others or of my origination, and I have been subject to more or less
unjust criticism from certain quarters.

While I have been unusually careful about keeping records as well as conservative in the descriptions of the varieties sent out>
I am convinced that no amount of care on my part will insure a certain proportion of growers to successfully cultivate the new
varieties which I might introduce, and as the introduction of new sorts has always been done at a monetary sacrifice I have decided
to cease the active production of carnation plants and cuttings for sale as well as the introduction of new varieties, and from tliis
onward the resources of the Cottage Gardens Carnation Department will be devoted to growing carnations exclusively for cut blooms.

I desire to take this opportunity to express my extreme gratitude to those who have shown a friendly interest in my work and
who have contributed to what little success I have attained by cheering me onward with words of genuine appreciation, and to
assure those friendly spirits who are above carping criticism that so long as I continue to labor for the advancement of the divine
flower they will still be welcomed to the COTTAGE GARDENS as they have been in the past.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Trade was very brisk the past week
and supplies abundant. Both roses and
carnations were plentiful, but cleaned
out well and at good figures for this
.season of the year. The cold weather
setting in Saturday shortened the sup-
plies the past few days and prices stif-
fened considerably. The range of prices
for carnations was from $1.50 to $3;
roses, $4 to $6 for good shipping stock
and $1 to $2 for shorts. Violets are now
out of the market. Some good sweet
peas, valley and mignonette are coming
in, but the supply of lilies is on the
wane.

Various Notes.

Bedding plants are now beginning to
move and considerable of this stock is
being grown here.

Growers are now busy planting out
carnations.

We lost a member of the craft in the
death of Hans Bartels, who died May 1.
Mr. Bartels was 48 years old and had re-
sided in Milwaukee for a good many
years, being engaged in the florists '
business on Teutonia avenue for about
fifteen years, growing a general line of
plants. He was a member of the Mil-
waukee Florists ' Club. His business will
be carried on by his wife and daughter.

pected up Friday. Incog.

Daniel Erdniann, president of the park
board, has been notified by Mayor Becker
that he will be reappointed park com-
missioner for tlie south side when his
term expires on .Tune 1. The only other
man mentioned in connection with the
position lias been ('. C. Pollworth, whose
friends have urged liim to be a candidate
for the office. It was argued that Mr.
Pollworth, as a practical florist, would
make a valualilo member of the board.
Mr. Pollworth, however, declined to make
an active campaign for the appointment.

PITTSBUHG.

The Market.

The past week was one of the kind
that worries the wholesalers, stock of all
kinds raining on them in such quantities
that they were swamped every day until
Saturday, when most stock cleaned up
pretty well, but the week's results will
probably be very unsatisfactory to the
growers. To get rid of it, stock was sold
at ridiculously low prices. The retail
shops were not in any better shape, espe-
cially those growing part of their own
stock, for they were loaded to the gi^rds.

Various Notes.

The Blind boys had a bad half hour
May 2, when they had a heavy hail
storm which entirely stripped the trees
and shrubbery of all the young leaves and
blossoms, also cutting to pieces beds of
tulips, which were in their glory, and
breaking all the glass in the hotbeds.
However, the greenhouses escaped with-
out the loss of a single light. The hail
was quite large and so much of it that
you could take it up in shovels a half
hour after the storm. The same storm
passed over Bakerstown and the Pitts-
i)urg Bose & Carnation Co. say it was
the heaviest rain they ever saw but there
was no hail with it.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. had its
first peonies Saturday.

J. W. Glenn, of Kittanning, has just
completed a number of changes in his
store, having put in a new front and re-
arranged and decorated the interior. His
cut flower trade has grown so that it is
crowding out some of the side lines which
he formerly carried.

The South View Floral Co. has been
held back some on account of the weath-
er, which prevented completing the grad-
ing, but is rushing things now. Twenty
carpenters are at work getting the houses
ready for planting. Mr. Fischer is work-
ing almost day and night.

The Florists' Club met Tuesday night.
The subject for discussion was bedding
plants. The meeting was a very interest-
ing one and should have been better at-
tended, but it is hard to get the boys into
the city when there is so much spring
work on hand. Hoo-Hoo.

Here is another dollar; we cannot get
along without the Review, — C. E. Mans-
field, Fitchburg, Mass.

Heke is a dollar for renewal of our

DENVER.

The Market

Business was somewhat quiet the past
week, but one or two days there was a
good clean-up on account of funerals.
Friday was particularly a quiet day on
account of the storm.

The receipts of long Beauties are not
so heavy as they were, but still abundant
enough to go around, and prices are a
shade lower. Bride and Maid are still
plentiful and the most critical buyer
can be pleased as to quality. There is
quite a supply of Chatenay and they also
are of superb quality. There is also a
fine crop of Liberty and Richmond in all
grades. The receipts of carnations are
somewhat lighter, but there is still an
abundant supply for all and prices are
lower.

There are abundant supplies of sweet
peas of fine quality at 50 cents per hun-
dred, with a promise of lower prices
soon. There still are a few tulips in
the market and a comparatively large
supply of daisies, both of which sell well.
Violets are almost out of the running.

Various Notes.

Co., left Tuesday for a month 's vacation,

WASHINGTON.

On tlie evening of May 7, the parlors
of the Arlington hotel were handsomely
decorated for a reception to Speaker
Cannon in honor of his seventieth birth-
day. The hosts were his "boys" of the
House of Representatives, republicans
and democrats joining hands to honor
the grand old man.

The first floor of the Arlington was
practically given over to this event, but
the most elaborate decorations were in
the large double parlors, where the re-
ception was Held. The Speaker stood in
front of a beautiful model of the Capi-
tol, that part of the room being dark-
ened, thus giving fine etfect to the illumi-
nation of the model. The grounds were
represented by many fine foliage plants.
The entire side of the room was a bank
of American Beauty roses and white
spring blossoms, in the center being a
Boman wreath, with red, white and blue
ribbons, bearing inscriptions.

The outer parlor Avas decorated with
carnations and smilax over the entrance
and banks of crotons and other foliage
plants in every available spot,
---^he decorations representing the Capi-
toPwere planned by Elliott Woods,
superintendent of the Capitol and
grounds. The cut flower work was by
J. H. Small & Sons. Scotty.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

May 10, 1900.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

Fpr the past fortnight a very fine
business has been done in all lines. Our
florists have been more than surprised
at the flow of orders that each day has
brought. Funeral flowers have been in
urgent demand. Of course prices at
both wholesale and retail have softened
a little, as is expected at this season of
the year. There are large quantities of
lilac coming in, and this outdoor stuff
will from now on appear in daily in-
creasing quantities. Taken as a whole
the florists were never doing better than
they are at present.

If our florists have been busy, what
shall I say about the business the seeds-
men have been doing? It has been years
since such an elegant month of trade
has been done as during April. I doubt
very much if any more could have been
done — to the limit of endurance every
man and boy worked, early and late.

The past week saw the beginning of
the retail bedding plant trade. As usual
geraniums, salvias, coleus, etc., cover the
average needs; prices the same as in
past seasons.

At the Florists' Club very little is
doing, as no one has time for anything
but work. The bowling club has re-
ligiously met every Thursday evening at
the alleys of the Y. M. C. A. and prac-
ticed hard. All the craft are looking
forward with the greatest pleasure to
the Dayton convention, and there is no
question that from here the attendance
will be very large. Zero.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club was held at Peter Murray's green-
house, Fairhaven, Monday evening, May
7. All had a very pleasant time.

Mr. Green, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co.,
made us a call last week. As usual he
had a novelty. This time it was the
Japanese au plant. He placed them in
the leading stores and they are making
a great hit. A novelty always pays.

CINCINNATL

The Market

Business, is very poor. The demand
has subsided until it amounts to almost
nothing. "While a few of the retailers
report a fair business, yet by far the
majority say that it could scarcely be
worse, even in the middle of summer.
The cause of this slump is hard to figure
out, there being no special reason why
business should go all to pieces at this
time of the year. Another fact which
made the slump doubly unfortunate is
that there was a large glut on at the
same time. Both roses and carnations
are coming in by the thousands and they
are being sold, in many cases, for almost
nothing to save throwing them on the
dump. Even the extremely low prices at
which the stock was offered did not tend
to clean up the market and there has
been considerable waste. How long this
state of affairs will be with us is hard to
say, but it is to be hoped that it will
not last long. From the present outlook
we will see the last of it this week.

Sweet peas are plentiful and the de-
mand for them is good, all things con-
sidered. The price has dropped to 50
cents per hundred for the best. Lilies of
all kinds are still coming in good lots
and sell pretty well. Outdoor valley is
being sent in also and sells fairly well.
Iris is coming in large quantities, but
lilac and snowballs are about over.

Various Notes.

The season for outdoor bedding is on in
full blast and all the florists who do this
kind of work are heels over head in it. The
demand this year is at least as heavy as
usual and the prospects are that there
will be no surplus of stock. A pretty
heavy frost occurred May 6.

The Florists' Society meeting will be
held Saturday, May 12. and there will
doubtless be a large number present,
owing to the several subjects of special
interest which will be discussed.

W. E. Hall, of Clyde, ()., is sending
some of the best carnations which are
being received in the market at present.
His seedling red, E. G. Gillett, is in fine
shape and sells at sight, even in this time
of a bad glut. The retailers give a
very good report of its keeping qualities.

Walter Grey came to town last Thurs-
day with a seedling rose of which he
thinks a great deal. It originated four
years ago, from a cross of Beauty and

Kaiserin. It closely resembles Beauty
in stem, foliage and bloom, but there
are several points of difference in these.
The color is a beautiful shade of pink,
identical with that of Lawson when well
grown. ^Ir. Grey says that this color
does not fade. He also states that it is
a very good bloomer. Judged from all
sides the rose appears to be a good thing
and it is very likely that it will be heard,
from in the future.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

May 10, lOOG.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Generally speaking the cut flower mar-
ket has been in pretty good shape the past
two weeks. The warm, bright days have
brought out in quantity all kinds of
flowers. A good many more roses are
coining in than can be used from day to
dav. The tendency of everything last
week was for lower prices. There has
been little trouble in keeping the whole-
sale house clear of carnations. White has
been in greatest denumd and some days
there is a shortage. With the increase
of glass put up in the spring of 1905
there are less carnations being cut this
spring than last.

The market is much over-stocked with
first-class llarri.sii; in fact, the (piality is
much better than could l)e had at Easter.
Callas also are over-plentiful. Other
bulb stock is pretty well done for. Lilac
is in large supply and sells well, the
large white variety going best. Smilax
and asparagus are in brisk demand, with
the supply short.

Violets are done for. Sweet peas are
more plentiful and outside valley can
be had in quantity.

Club Meeting.

At the last meeting of the Gardeners'
Club it was unanimously decided to hold
a fall flower show. Four years have
passed since we held the last show to
which an admission was charged. A
guarantee fund of ample proportions was
promptly subscribed and a competent
committee appointed to push the enter-
prise to a successful conclusion. Fred
Michell and G. C. Watson, of Philadel-
phia, who happened to be present at thid
meeting, spoke encouraging words as to
the benefit of a show to the trade in
general. President William Lehr ap-
pointed the following committee: George
Morrison, Fred C. Bauer, J. J. Perry,
James Glass and Albert G. Fiedler.

The question box brought out the most
interesting discussion of the evening:
' ' Who has the best of it, the retailer or
the grower?" After an hour of spirited
debate, the general opinion seemed to be
in favor of the growers, especially the
one making a specialty of what he can
grow best. A. F.

Here is my renewal; I have not had

DETROIT.

The Market

Business has been dull the past few
weeks. Good tea roses are plentiful but
Beauties are seldom available in this
market. There seem to be just about
enough carnations to meet the demand,
but the general run of stock is poor,
especially Lawson. Plenty of good out-
door hyacinths and tulips are seen. Ele-
gant pink and white sweet peas are dis-
placing violets. The peas bring 75 cents
to $1 per hundred.

Qub Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Detroit
Florists' Club was held May 2. There
being no special subject for the evening,
a discussion on shrubbery and trees for
our parks and boulevards was partici-
pated in by all present. Superintendent
Wm. Dilger said that any suggestion
toward the improvement of the parks
would be much appreciated.

The question, "Would it not be ad-
visable for the retailers to maintain a
list and exchange the names of unde-
sirable customers?" resulted in the ap-
pointment of a committee of two, "Wm.
Brown and J. F. Sullivan, to wait upon
the retailers and get their views on that
subject. It was also deemed advisable
by several members to aboli3h the com-
mission, given undertakers. This ques-
tion will also be discussed by the store-
men.

The entertainment committee having
decided on Belle Isle as the most suit-
able place for holding the club's annual
outing, a motion to that effect was made
and supported; this outing to take place
some day the second week in July.

Various Notes,

Albert Pochelon, whom most people
call L. Bemb, requests that hereafter he
be called by his right name only, namely,
A. Pochelon.

Eobert Watson has invested in a new
delivery wagon.

Walter Taepke has been on the sick
list.

Louis Rush has been in the woods of
northern Michigan gathering sheet moss.

Among the week 's visitors was H. D.
Byer, Dayton, O. H. S.

May 10, 1906.

TOLEDO, OHIO.

Searles Bros., market gardeners, are
planning the erection of an addition to
their present greenhouse which will cost
between $75,000 and $100,000. The im-
provement will cover five acres and will
give Searles Bros, one of the largest
greenhouses in the middle west. When
the addition is joined to their present
building they will have eight acres un-
der glass.

Searles Bros, make a specialty of
lettuce and nutmeg melons, the former
being produced entirely in the green-
houses and the latter getting the start
there and then transplanted to the open
air. Some years they produce as many
as forty acres of melons, being the larg-
est growers of these in this part of the
country.

The new greenhouses will of course ne-
cessitate the erection of a new heating
plant. Several boilers are to be in-
stalled and a new stack 100 feet high is
to be built. The property adjoins the
Toledo & Indiana electric road and a
switch has been built into the plant to
supply coal for the boilers.

Searles Bros, recently purciiased the
property adjoining theirs for $500 per
acre. This is the highest price ever
paid for land so far away from the cen-
ter of the city.

John Meyer, who is engaged in the
same business as Searles Bros., and whose
property is located on Dorr street in the
same neighborhood, is also planning large
greenhouses, Mr. Meyer has heretofore
devoted his attention to outside garden-
ing, but is going into the greenhouse
business and will grow lettuce. His new
plant will cost over $25,000 and will be
completed this summer.

Here is a dollar for the Review for
1906, the ideal paper for the trade. —

THIS IS AN AGE

of specialists. An age when expert knowledge is demanded . The time when "well enough"
won't do, it must be top notch of efficiency, whether it's a patent plant sprayer or a green-
house. You can't grow plants to compete at a profit with your opponent who has an
up-to-date scientifically planned, skillfully erected house, when your house is by its very
(H)nstruction, a shade trap, its heating plant a sink hole for coal money!

Fifty years of deBignlDgr and erecting green-
houees means Bomething, it means the best
there Is In building— the greatest economy in the
heating problem.

For expert knowledge, go to experts.

THE DECORATOR'S TOOL KIT.

How many times, when out on some
large or even minor decoration, have you
had to trouble the people in the house
for some tacks, pins or the loan of a
hammer, with the poor excuse, "I forgot
mine"? This not only causes unneces-
sary delay but makes a poor impression.

All tkis can easily be avoided by keep-
ing, ever ready and under lock and key,
a small tool kit similar to a carpenter's
tool box, Dut of such proportions as
to be easily carried, on the car if need
be. About twenty inches long, one foot
wide and five to six inches deep is a
good size.

You can construct the box yourself,
of light, strong boards. Along one side
make a compartment to hold an 18-inch
saw and a medium weight hammer. The
balance of the box should be a " double
decker." The lower part should be
divided up for holding tacks, pins, two
sizes of nails, staples, spools of green
thread, straightened wire, pliers, etc. In
the upper half you will find room for
a coil of wire and a pair of overalls,
although some decorators will prefer to
wear an apron.

The cover of the box should hold the
two parts in place, so that the small
articles will remain in their respective
places.

Put a good lock on the box and keep
the key in your pocket. See that every-
thing is in its place and every place
filled, and instead of having a dozen
things to remember when starting on a
job, aside from plants, greens, etc., you
have just one other thing to carry, ithe
tool kit. Hugo Schroeter.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

The use of fruit with flowers is rather
uncommon, and for that reason quite de-
sirable. One centerpiece of daisies and
strawberries took well. Strawberry
plants in blossom and fruit in all stages,
from the whitish green to greenish red
and fully ripe, were used as the foliage
part of the piece. In among the plants
were placed two or three short vases con-
taining cut daisies. The plants were
taken out of the pots and sphagnum
packed around held them in place. The
runners were allowed to ' ' run ' ' outside
of the centerpiece proper, and clusters of
extra berries were wired on, so as to
give the idea of their having grown
there in clusters. This on a Battenberg
centerpiece made an attractive luncheon
decoration.

Later fruits could be used with season-
able flowers, such as cherries with white
sweet peas, black raspberries with deli-
cate pink-tinted sweet peas in a twig
basket, peach blossoms with Chatenay or
Golden Gate roses.

For an informal luncheon try a twig
hamper containing a small vase or two
of Kichmond roses. Let the lid fall
back and the roses scatter over it from
the inside of the basket. See that the
vase or small bowl is concealed with
extra rose foliage or ferns. Stiff, long-

stemmed roses cannot be used in this
way. It is a good arrangement to sug-
gest for using short and weak-stemmed
roses.

A seasonable window for yellow and
white snapdragons was devised by using
a brown, square handled, rather rustic
basket containing a pan or large vase
full of these tall, graceful stalks, with
the addition of a little Sprengeri as cen-
ter. The background was a 2-inch bed
of sphagnum covered with ferns laid
flat, and yellow and brown pansies
stemmed two or three to a pick in-
serted through the ferns into the sphag-
num. Pansies were set in about as
thick as when found growing in a bed.

BASKET OF CHATENAY.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph of a cornucopia-shaped
basket of roses arranged by the Drumm
Seed and Floral Co., Fort" Worth, Tex.
The horn of pienty was particularly ap-
propriate to the occasion, which was the
opening of the new Touraine hotel. The
roses used were Mnie. Chatenay. The
arrangement of the basket was excellent.

FLOWERS POLLUTING WATER.

I lately came across a note which
stated that a French florist had discov-
ered tliat roses and mignonette would not
live together in the same vase. This is
entirely contradictory to my experience,
says a writer in the Horticultural Ad-
vertiser; yet I have found that migno-
nette very soon pollutes water, especially
if the leaves are not stripped off above
wiiere the stems reach the water.

It is remarkable that many of the
sweet-scented flowers pollute the water
in a very short time. Take stocks, lily
of the valley, wallflowers, heliotropes,
sweet peas, especially where foliage of
the latter is used with the flowers. It
may not be confined lb sweet-scented

scheme, a green basket was used with
pink snapdragons and purple pansies.

Full blown roses often accumulate at
this time of the year. They need not
mean loss. Get some advertising out of
them. Make loose garlands and trim a
window mirror with a line of drapery
composed of the garland. Set a large
Boston fern and trail a garland across
the front to fall to the floor, with a few

flowers that the water so soon becomes
offensive, but it certainly occurs more
witii them than it does with many other
flowers.

In all cases .water should be changed
frequently. And there is a twofold ad-
vantage in stripping off the foliage on
the lower portion of the stems, for it
adds to the pollution of the water, and
no flowers keep so well with much
foliage left on the stems. Take chrys-

anthemums; the one great disadvantage
in showing them on long stems with
foliage is that the flowers do not keep
so long.

With Asparagus plumosus nanus I
have found that where any of the
foliage goes into the water it soon be-
comes offensive. Even when packing for
market the foliage must be kept quite
dry, or it will soon go slimy and be use-
less ; but if packed in boxes which are
well lined with paper, it will keep good

a long time without any moisture. With
many flowers inexperienced packers use
too much moisture, with the result that
if shut up close for one day they go
wrong. In the warm weather the flowers
may be put into water (or rather the
flower stems), and allowed to stand some
time before packing them, but all blooms
should be kept quite dry; and when
packing in boxes a good paper lining
should be given, the boxes to be made
as nearly air-tight as possible.

Antirrhinums.

You will have noticed the popularity
and call for the snapdragon (antir-
rhinum) this spring. If the price it
brings dees not make it as profitable as
American Beauty roses, it is neverthe-
less a very decorative subject and makes
a pretty centerpiece or bouquet asso-
ciated with other spring flowers.

Antirrhinums are, I think, mostly
growi; from seed sown in July or
August and then planted on benches in
four or five inches of soil. The trouble
with this method is that as the dark
days of autumn come on they make little
progress and do not flower till the re-
turning sun of spring.

A better plan is to propagate at the
end of May from cuttings. The strong
growths, from which you have cut blooms
last month, will send out side shoots,
which will root readily, and must then
be carried over summer in pots plunged
in a frame in the full sun. This is a bet-
ter preparation to make early flowering
plants than carrying in the shaded
greenhouse. When put on the benches
in September or October they will soon
give a crop of flowers, and once they
begin to bloom you may expect to cut
right along until late spring.

By cuttings you can also perpetuate
the most desirable forms and colors,
which from seed you are not sure of
doing. The white and yellow shades are
the most in demand. Soil that will
grow carnations will grow antirrhinums,
and, as they are free-growing plants,
give them room to flourish. Twelve to
fifteen inches apart each way is little
enough. They are almost hardy in our
northern winters, so 50 degrees at night
will grow them freely, and give them all
the direct sunlight' your location is
favored with.

Marguerite Queen Alexandra.

A plant that will be more popular
next Easter than it was this spring is
Chrysanthemum frutescens, commonly
known a.s marguerite, or Paris daisy.
The variety or form 1 allude to is called
Queen Alexandra. It is one of the best
of all house plants and the flower is
beautiful. The first flowers to open are
single, having only one whorl of petals.
Succeeding flowers lose the yelloAv eye
and the center of the blossom is a rosette
of short, crowded petals, much resem-
bling the Japanese anemone chrysanthe-
mum. With only a few flowers they are
not sufficiently attractive, but well-flow-
ered plants of medium size in 5-inch or

6-inch pots or 8-inch pans are bound to
be popular.

Cuttings should be put in now, or a
little later, and grown on with occa-
sional shifting through the summer, and
should be plunged outdoors in the full
sun. Or, if kept in not larger than
4-inch pots through the summer, they
can be planted out on a bench where
some of the earliest chrysanthemums
have been cut. This will prevent them
becoming exhausted in the pots and they
will lift perfectly.

As planting them out will have a
tendency to make strong, robust growth
rather than bloom, they must be lifted
and potted two months before you de-
sire them in full flower. For pans take
cuttings of the leading shoots about
New Year's. They root most easily.
Plant five or six rooted cuttings in an
8-inch pan.

As a cut flower, the Queen Alexandra
marguerite is also most desirable.
Sprays cut will last two weeks in water,
the larger buds opening after being cut
a week. We have measured flowers of
Queen Alexandra the past week that
were four inches in diameter, almost
double the size of the old type.

Gipe Jasmine*

In the last issue of the Eeview there
were interesting illustrations of the cul-
ture of gardenias in Texas, which is
good proof of the immense demand there
is from the northern florists. The gar-
denia is a native of tropical Asia and
southern Africa, so our warm southern
states grow it to perfection, but from
the fact of their being native to the
Cape of Good Hope would lead us to
believe that a tropical temperature is
not necessary in winter time. However
plentifully they can be produced in
Texas, Louisiana or Florida, they are a
long way off from our large northern
cities, where the chief market lies, and
they do not travel well, their soft petals
being easily bruised or soiled by the
packing material and the long journey,
so it is desirable that they should be
produced near where they will be used.

It is interesting to learn from Nichol-
son's Dictionary of Gardening that
Gardenia florida was named for a Dr.
Garden, of Charlestown, South Carolina,
who was a correspondent of the great
Linnfcus, which proves the antiquity of
Charlestown in horticulture, for Lin-
naeus wrote about 1720. Nicholson says
it is "a genus comprising about sixty
species," of which no doubt Dr. Garden

found one species in cultivation in our
southern states and from which have
come the double forms now known as
G. jasminoides, or cape jasmine, and
that grandiflora is merely a garden form
of the latter.

Gardenias Under Glass.

We noticed last August, during a
visit to one or two of the leading plant
establishments of Philadelphia, that
there were several houses of gardenias
planted out on benches, just as we grow
carnations and roses. They were free
of insects, growing vigorously and must
have given splendid results. The natural
time of flowering is April and May and
the grower who can flower it freely in
midwinter reaps a good harvest.

Most writers on the cultivation of
Gardenia florida under glass recommend
growing it in pots, but that is no reason
why its culture planted out should not
be s. great advance in the right direction.
Kemember, brother florists, that if forty
years ago the planting out of roses,
carnations or chrysanthemums had been
advocated to a good old gardener, he not
only would have been skeptical, but dubi-
ous as to your sanity. They assuredly
can be grown in pots very successfully,
and for conservatory decoration that
would be the way, but, commercially,
planting out will be the method.

Easy Plants to Grow.

As they propagate easily from cut-
tings, which is best done in early Jan-
uary, it is now too late to speak of that,
but plants in 3-inch pots can be pro-
cured in right condition for planting
out, now or a few weeks later, in about
five inches of well chopped up turfy
loam with a fourth or fifth of rotted
horse or cow manure. The bottom of
the bench should afford ample drainage.
I will say here that the gardenia is an
easy plant to grow and flower. The
chief essentials are heat and moisture,
with an abundance of water at the roots
during the growing season, £^nd, lastly,
freedom from insect pests, chief of
which is the mealy bug.

After they have started to grow free-
ly the leading shoots can be pinched
during the season to produce more
branches, which means more flowers.
They must be syringed at least twice a
day to keep down mealy bug and, if
that is not effectual, then a syringing of
kerosene emulsion will eradicate them.
The constant syringing they require
keeps the soil wet and prevents a rest-
ing of the plants in the fall • and no
cessation of growth and consequent late
flowering.

And now I am to mention something
incident to the planting-out system. On
telling this to Robert Craig last fall he
wrinkled up his Socrates-like brow and
remarked: "1 think that is a valuable
point. ' ' Here it is :

As It Is Done at Frisco.

Wm. Belsey, of this city, who was
several years engaged in the growing
end of floriculture in the city of San
Francisco, on his return to the east
told me of the ease and success with
which they grew gardenias under glass.
It appears that in place of planting on
a level surface of soil on a bench, as
we do roses and carnations, they spread
about five inches of soil on the bench
and then mound it up in little hillocks
and plant on top of these little mounds.
For instance, the summit of these little
mounds would be eight or nine inches

above the boards of the bench and the
depression between these little elevations
perhaps only three inches from the
boards. This information was imparted
at least eighteen years ago, and I did
not see the utility of it as I do now.

On a level surface of bed the copious
syringing necessary into late fall would
keep the soil saturated and render a
slight drying out of the roots difficult,
but planted on an elevated position sur-
face water would quickly flow to the
lowest level, and I believe the secret of
getting Gardenia florida to flower in
January and February is this: In Oc-
tober lower the temperature, give more
ventilation and decreased the water at
the roots; in other words, ripen the
growth of the summer, when flower-buds
will form, which a renewal of heat and
moisture will soon expand.

I have been rather lengthy and elab-
orate on a beautiful evergreen shrub in
which only a few commercial men are
at all interested, and I will conclude by
saying that in small communities there
would be little call for it. Its cultiva-
tion in the neighborhood of large cities
would be most profitable. Remember
that Texas and other southern states
would be no opposition in the winter
months and the greenhouse-grown flowers
would reign supreme in this unequaled
sweet-scented flower.

For Crowded Plants.

We read in the correspondence from
many cities that flower gardening is in
lull blast. With us it is three weeks in
the future, and until we get relief we
are much crowded. Those who do not
like the sound of the word hotbed, good
old greenhouses as they are, can find
much relief in cold frames. There are
few of our bedding plants but will do
perfectly well now in a cold frame, and
they cost little to put up, either in time
or money.

The chief plant of our flower garden-
ing, the zonal geranium, is better out-
side in a frame than being exhausted in

the hot greenhouse. It would be a long
story to enumerate those plants that are
better in a frame than kept in a green-
house, but a reliable guide is this:
Plants of a tropical nature want the
slight artificial night temperature of the
greenhouse and those of cold-blooded
temperament will do very well with the
protection of sash, and they stand the
winds and bright sun much better when
planted out than do the soft plants from
the greenhouse.

A Simple Frame.

Did it ever occur to you that there
are more ways of making a cold frame
than nailing boards together? I can
remember, when 19 years of age, a plan
of making a cold frame in England.
If you are blessed with access to a pas-
ture or field of sod, cut a few loads of
sod a foot wide, as long as you like and
three inches thick. Build a sod wall for
the walls of the frame. Place a plank

or board on top of these little walls for
the sash to rest on, and you have an
idcjil cold frame, much warmer than an
inch board, and when the frames have
fulfilled their purpose the sods chopped
down are invaluable material for pot-
ting soil.

Queen Charlotte Geranium.

A few days ago 1 renewed the ac-
quaintance of a fine geranium. Queen
Charlotte. We had a bed of this at the
dear old Pan-American, and I was not
impressed with it as a good bedder, but
as a pot plant for Memorial day it is^^
a wonder, far surpassing that goo<8
salmon, Beaute Poitevine.

William Scott.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

At a recent sale at its rooms at Cheap-
side, Protheroe & Morris, the well-known
auctioneers, obtained 1150 guineas, or
£1,207:10, for a plant of Odontoglos-
sum crispum Pittianum, the highest price
ever realized under the hammer. At the
same sale a plant of O. crispum Abner
Hassall realized 470 guineas, or just
under £500. Protheroe & Morris are
justly proud of these results.

Covent Gardens at this time of the
year is well worth a visit. The quantity
of bedding plants is simply immense-
Every day, during the four hours of
business, large numbers are disposed of,
and this season prices are leaving a very
fair profit to the grower. Pansies, cal-
ceolarias, geraniums, lobelias, fuchsias,
daisies and all sorts of herbaceous plants
are offered in great quantities, some
growers having as many as ten acres of
pansies alone, and 200,000 bedding
geraniums in 3-inch pots is no uncom-
mon thing. Petunias in 3-inch pots are
also done in prodigious quantities, larger
this year than ever, and some of the
strains of these propagated from by the
big plant growers are magnificent.

This spring bedding trade is at very
cheap prices, but generally profitable.
Tlie establishments in which the stuff is
produced are veritable plant factories,
but everything connected with them must
be done cheaply, so that the proJRct can
be sold at low prices. Many of the
houses in which they are grown are only
frame structures with movable roofs, as
many as fifty or sixty of these cheap
structures in one block. Everything

Gardenias Under Glass.

We noticed Last August, during a
visit to one or two ot' the leading plant
establishments of Pliiladelphi;i, that
tlieie were several houses of gardenias
planted out on lienches, just as we grow
c;iriiati(Uis .and roses. Thoy were free
of insects, growing vigorously and must
have given splendid results. The natural
time of tlowt'iing is April and May and
the grower who can flower it freely in
midwinter leaps ;i good harvest.

Most writers on the cultivation of
(lardenia llorida under gl.as.s recommend
growing it in pots, but that is no reason
why its cultuic planted out should not
be .-1 gre.at ad\ance in the right direction,
b'emember, brother florists, that if forty
years .ago the pl.antiiig out of roses,
carnations or (dirysantheniums had been
advocated to a good old gardener, he not
only would have been skeptical, but dubi-
ous as t(i youi' sanity.. They assuredly
can be grown in pots very successfull.v,
.and for i-onservtitory decor.ation that
would be the way, but, commercially,
|daiitiiig luit will be the method.

Easy Plants to Grow.

As they ]uo|)ag;ite e.asily from cut-
tings, vvlii(di is best done in early .Ian
nary, it is now too late to speak of that,
bul; |dants in li-inch pots can be jiro
cure(l in light condition for planting
out, now or a few weeks later, in aluuit
five iiudies of well (diop{)ed up turfy
lotini with a fourth or fifth of rotted
horse or cow manure. The bottom of
the lieiicJ! should afford ample drainage.
1 will say here that the gardenia is ;in
easy jilaiit to grow and llower. The
chief essentials are he.at and moisture,
with an aliuiulaiice of water at the roofs,
during the growing season, and, lastly,
freedom fidin insect pests, chief of
which is the mealy bug.

.\fter they have started to grow free-
ly the leading shoots can be pinched
during the season tn jiroduce more
liranches, whi(di means more flower.s.
They inusi be .syringed ;it least twice a.
d.iy to keep down me.'ily bug and, if
that is not effectual, then a syringing of
kerosene emulsion will eradicate them.
The constant syringing they require
keeps the soil wet and ]irevents a rest-
ing of the jdants in the fall and no
cess;ition of' i^rowth .and conse()uent late
llowei ing.

about them is inovjible. Tlie roof is
made of frames, the piping for heating
is often hung on liooks supported on the
sides, or in some cases merely hiid on
the floor.

These houses are used for tomatoes in
most cases, as soon a.s the bedding stuff i
is cleared out at the end of May, and
during late autumn and winter for chrys-
anthemums, wliich are grown outside
during summer and lifted just before
bad weather sets in and planted in the
houses. As soon as these are cleared,
during January, the houses are filled
with forcing bulbs, so that growers in
this way get four full crops each year
from the houses, yet the extraordinary
low i^rices at which these cheap bulk

lines have to be sold renders the
j)rofits from quite immense establish-
ments almost incredibly small.

In some cases, where chrysanthemums
arc the principal autumn crop, the
houses are taken down and the lights and
piping stored away under cover. The
chrysanthemums are planted out from
;j-inch or 4-inch pots in the frame of the
dismantled houses and are not moved.
As soon as bad weather sets in, about
October, the lights are put on and the
houses put into working order. The
plants are by this means all safely cov-
ered without moving and without more
trouble and expense, after which they
are ready for the bulb forcing and
spring bedding trade. J. B.

TO STAND POOR TREATMENT.

A southern subscriber would like to get
the name of two carnations, one white
and one red, which will grow under un-
favorable conditions. For instance,
solid beds, not very particular about
the degree of temperature, and still
give some bloom. F. J. U.

If the solid bed and irregular tem-
perature are all that will be against
them, there are a number of varieties
that vpill give a fair return in blooms,
according to how good the treatment
may be. You will want varieties that
are strictly non-bursters. Crane for red
will likely prove most satisfactory.
Lady Bountiful, The Queen, Moonlight
and Vesper are all strictly non-bursting
whites. Which one would prove most
satisfactory in the south I cannot say.
Try some of each. A. F. J. Baur.

RED SPIDER.

This is our first year in growing car-
nations for the Philadelphia market.
Our house is badly infested with red
spider. "We have tried all sorts of
things, but none of them seems to do
much good. We have a tree sprayer of
good force with which we spray down on
the beds about every other day. Having
seen little about this in the Review, we
thought there was 8ome secret among
growers. How about mixing salt or
coal oil in the water when spraying?

D. & S.

The best thing to use against spider
is a strong, cutting spray of clear water,
of suflacient force to wash the spiders
from the plants. It has been found that
to apply anything in the way of insecti-
cides strong enough to kill red spider
will in most cases injure the plants.
We once thought that spraying with salt
water was a help, but we are told by a
large importer that if a plant starts
across the ocean with a sign of red
spider, it will invariably be covered with
them on arrival on this side. So it
seems sea voyages agree with them as
well as with the human species. At
least it has shaken our faith in the salt
spray.

You will find this pest pretty hard to

get rid of, now that hot weather has
come. The time to fight them is early,
before they get much of a start. In
fact, all winter you should keep an eye
out for signs of spider. If your water
supply has a good pressure, spray them
from the side with all the force at your
command every bright day, and if pos-
sible spray from both sides of the bench.
There is no secret way of keeping down
red spider, except the secret of success,
and that is eternal vigilance and perse-
verance. A. F. J. Baur.

A GOOD SPIRAEA.

Spirsea Queen Wilhelmina, recently
introduced by Kuyk Bros., is certainly
one of the best of the astilboides flori-
bunda type; the plants have made won-
derful foliage, and long spikes of bloom,
which are of a clear white. On one
plant I counted thirty-five good spikes
of bloom, but these were not quite so
large as some which had fewer spikes.

The plants have been grown under cool
treatment, but have the appearance of
being likely to force well. I am still
of the opinion that the variety Lord
Salisbury, as I grew it three or four
years ago, is one of the best types of the
numerous hybrid seedlings, but I have
not yet seen this in the market. I find,
however, that some growers have the
Queen Wilhelmina, and it compares well
with others seen. From several growers
we see some variations; it may to some
extent be attributable to culture. Mar-
ket growers are not fond of giving
names, or where they obtain stock from.
I should imagine that most of the best
samples we see are sold simply as astil-
boides floribunda, which is the name
given to the first hybrid; yet there is a
great variation, as seen from different
growers. —

The old favorite, Japonica, is still
grown extensively, but many that I have
seen seem to suggest that it is getting
weaker in growth than it was years ago ;
probably this may be owing to its not
getting a fair share of attention in cul-
ture since we have had the newer sorts.
Compacta multiflora finds favor still, for
where neat dwarf plants are wanted
there is nothing better.

With spiraeas, as with many other eas-
ily grown plants, it is only the special
sorts that get much attention in culture;
and I must say that if the older varie-
ties received the same careful attention
as the newer sorts do, we should often
fail to find so much difference between
them. — Horticultural Advertiser.

STOCK BEAUTY OF NICE.

This fine stock appears to be adaptable
both for winter flowering or treated as
a ten-week for the open border. The
plants are fairly tall when grown in
pots, and their spikes of salmon-pink
flowers render them useful where soft
shades are in request. It may be called
a giant variety, and it does not appear
to be sufficiently known. The percentage
of double flowers is large, but we have
had sufficient sijagle-flowered plants to
be able to save a nice bit of seed. —

SINGLE-STEM POT MUMS.

Please give me a selection of five
chrysanthemums, one each of white,
pink, yellow, maroon and lavender. I
want medium to large flowers to come
in at the same time in November, for
exhibition. How should they be handled
in pots? L. M.

I presume the idea is to grow the
plants to single stems in 6-inch pots.
This is what is generally called for in
pot competition, excepting the large
specimens and standards, and these are
quite another thing.

June 1 is the time that some of our
best exhibitors put in their cuttings for
6-inch stock and these, as soon as they
are rooted, are potted on into 2V^-inch
pots, thence to 4-inch and finally to the

final potting of a 6-inch pot. By strik-
ing late, in this manner, it will happen
in not a few cases that the plants will
not produce a bud before the middle of
August. This bud is retained and the
result is a splendid little plant, not two
feet high, and carrying a flower of al-
most exhibition size and finish. Such a
plant, I have always contended, will sell
on sight if one has any retail trade or
is within easy distance of a city, aside
from its exhibition value.

Never permit the plants to become
dry in any stage of the growth, or the
foliage at the base of the stem will die
off. The ideal plant has foliage clear
down to the pot.

The best place to grow these plants
in the summer is on a front bench with
the side ventilator open night and day.

Give each plant ample room and have
about two inches of ashes on the bench
for the plants to stand on. The ashes
are useful in holding moisture and will
help to keep the roots cool. Years ago
we used to grow the 6-inch pot stock
outside, plunged in ashes/ but we have
either progressed in inside culture or
conditions outside have changed, for
plants grown outside now cannot hold a
candle to the indoor stock. The only
condition to look out for is to have
ample air around the plants, so that
they do not pull up on hot days.

I give below a good selection of varie-
ties for 6-inch pot work, a selection
based largely on the winning lots at the
eastern shows last year:

White: Merza, Nellie Pockett, May
Seddon, Beatrice May.

Yellow: Cheltoni, Mrs. W. Duckham,
Appleton, Merstham Yellow.

Pink: W. Duckham, Valerie Green-
ham, F. A. Cobbold, Mrs. Coombes.

Red: Merstham Bed, J. H. Doyle,
Mrs. J. A. Miller.

Maroon : T. Carrington, E. J.
Brooks.

Lavender: Lady Hopetoun.

The last named is the finest variety
for this work I ever saw, some last year
being only a foot high and producing
an enormous flower.

QNERARIAS.

J. H. Myers, Altoona, Pa., finds Cin-
eraria atellata a very useful plant, par-
ticularly for Easter decorating. The
accompanying illustration shows a house
running along the end of Mr. Myers'
range in which he grows the cineraria
successfully. The plants photographed
were grown in 6-inch pans and were
from eighteen inches to four feet in
height, the spread of bloom being as
great as three feet on some of the speci-
mens. It was an especially interesting
lot because of the variety of colors,
ranging from nearly white to dark blue,
purple and crimson.

THE DAHLIA*

[A paper by E. H. Cushman, Sylvnnin, O.,
read before the Ohio State Horticultural Society,
January 12, 1906.]

The recent revival of the interest in
the dahlia for cut flower purposes and its
adaptability as a flowering plant for
amateurs, makes information regarding
its culture and management at this time
desirable.

Its increasing popularity is largely
thrttugh the advent of new forms and
the ever increasing love and demand for
flowers. The dahlia comes at a season
when the rush of earlier summer flowers
is past and prior to the advent of the
chrysanthemum and glass grown flowers.

It is not at all particular as to kind
of soil, requires no glass treatment, cov-
ers a wide range of colors and forms,
standard varieties are cheap and are
easily kept through the dormant season.
It well repays that loving care and at-
tention that many amateurs so delight
to bestow upon their plants.

Its culture and development have
nearly all taken place within the last
hundred years — a very short time as com-
pared with the period covered by the
rose and chrysanthemum. It was taken
in its wild form from the sandy plains
of Mexico to Europe about 1789, but it
was not until 1814 that the first double
forms were seen at Loiivain, Ilolland.
From this time on development was
rapid ; from the single wild form, <louble

Cinerarias Grown by J. H. Myers, Altoona, Pa.

varieties appeared so rapidly that one
English dealer in 1841 listed over 1,200
varieties. Both the large flowering and
pompon class were of the globular form,
being as round as a ball. They are
classed as show and fancy. The show
class is made up of the self colors, that
IS, one color; the fancy class includes the
variegated flowers.

These globular forms and singles filled
the lists until about the year iS73. .At
this time a Dutch merchant offered a
new form of dahlia, the parent of the
now popular class called cactus. This
variety was named Juarezii in honor of
the President of Mexico. This first new
form, with its long twisted petals, had
the peculiar red shade associated with
the cactus; hence the name of this class.
From it we ajce getting many variations;
indeed, another class is announced — the
pspony-flowercd. The aavent of the cac-
tus form with its informal grace and
beauty makes it valuable for all deco-
rative purposes. The dahlia has an
adaptability for graceful decorating not
possessed by the chrysanthemum and in
brilliancy of coloring it transcends all
other summer flowers. With the im-
provement in keeping qualities and a
more general knowledge of its useful-
ness as a cut flower, both by the florists
and the public, the dahlia is bound to
become very popular.

Methods of Propagation.

There are three methods of ])ropaga-
tion — by seed, root division and by cut-
tings. Dahlia seeds germinate very
quickly in moderate heat and the young
plants are easily handled. Sown in
March, pricked out into flats and trans-
planted into the open ground after dan-
ger of frost, thev are almost certain to
produce bloom in September in great
and endless variety.

Perhaps the most common method of
propagation is by root division. In April

the eyes will begin to show at the base
of the old stalk. These may be divided
with a knife, I find pruning shears most
useful, leaving one or two eyes with each
tuber. In this way varieties can be
largely multiplied. Where glass is avail-
able the clumps of roots may he bedded
in earth in full light about the last of
February; they soon spring into growth.
These young shoots can be taken oS,
rooted in sand and handled like any
other soft-wooded 'plants. The claim is
made that plants grown from cuttings
produce the best flowers. As far as my
observation goes I can see no su])eriority
over plants from root division.

The dahlia does well in any fertile
soil, but its preference seems to be for
a rich, deep, juoist, sandy loam. It
snould be planted about the middle to the
last of May. It requires warmth to
start it into growth ; consequently there
is nothing to be gained by early plant-
ing. I think it is even a mistake to start
the tubers indoors as many amateurs do.
Midsummer is not a desirable time to
bloom the dahlia. About September 1
is quite early enough to bring in the first
blooms and this can be done easily by
planting out the last of May. To attain
the best results the plant shoidd receive
no (Mieck from start to finish.

Planting.

The dahlia should be planted so as to
permit of easy passage between the
jdants, as the bushes are very brittle and
a touch often will cause great branches
to break down. A single row will per-
mit of as close planting as two feet in
the row, but rows should be at least five
or six feet apart. Planting deptii should
be about five inches below the soil sur-
face. Frequent and shallow cultivation
is essential to its rapid growth. Grad-
ually drawing a little soil around the
base of the plant tends to assist in hold-
ing the plant upright. When tubers are

The Weekly Florists' Review*

planted it is best to thin the shoots to
one or two stalks to the hill. When the
plants attain their second pair of leaves
it is a good i)raetiee to i)inch out the
leader and, again, the laterals can be
pinched after the second pair of leaves.
This starts the plant into bushy form,
which helps to keep it upright and less-
ens the necessity tor staking. Still some
staking is required liy sucli tall growing
varieties as John Klitch and Cirand Duke
Alexis.

If there is any one requirement for
dahlia success, it is plenty of moisture
from August through the blooming sea-
45on. At this time the plants are making
their greatest efforts and to be checked
now, seriously hinders their perfect de-
velopment.

There is enough in the cutting and
handling of dahlia blooms to make up a
separate paper and nuich is yet to be
learned by even the most experienced.
The projier handling of these cut flowers
is much more difficult than its growing;
it cannot be told; it must be experi-
enced.

When frost has robbed the dahlia of
its beauty ar^d the season has advanced
to about the tirst of October, Ave take a
clear, warm sunny day for the gather-
ing of the roots, digging all we can up
to about 3 p. m. and then gather the
roots up, being careful to bruise and
break them as little as possible, and put
tnem in the root cellar either in com-
pact heaps or in boxes, using no earth or
other material for protection. If any
variety seems to be drying out too much,
it is well to cover it Avith a paper or
other material that Avill prevent further
evaporation. My experience is that cov-
ering with dry earth, as frequently rec-
ommended, is unnecessary labor.

The decorative type of dahlias is dis-
tinguished by its broad, tlat petals, usu-
ally of great substance and long-
stemmed. C W. Bruton, yellow; Lynd-
hurst, scarlet; Augusta Victoria, white;
Sylvia, pink, are varieties bclongmg to
this class. The decorative group furnishes
the most satisfactory varieties for com-
mercial cut tlowers.

Recommeaded Varieties.

To close this j)aper without giving a
partial list of recommended varieties
would seem like erecting a house and
maintaining it Avithout occupants, it

done well on our sand loam. There are
many left off for fear of too extended a
list.

A DAVIS HOUSE.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph made in one of the cucum-
ber houses of W^ B. Davis & Co., Aurora,
111. This is a ncAV and up-to-date plant.
One of the interesting features of the
photograph is that it shoAvs the equipment
for mechanically watering and syring-
ing. This is the Wittbold patent and the
swivel arrangement shows hoAv the spray
may be directed to all parts of the house.
All the Davis houses are equipped Avith
this appaiatus. Davis & Co. find them
great labor savers and consequently money
makers. They say the only use they
have for the hose is to touch up dry
spots occasionally.

STRAWBERRY FORCING.

A querj' suggests to me that a little
information on the forcing of straAV-
berries might be of service to some of
the readers of the Eeview.

In preparation for forcing, the first
essential is to procure good, strong
plants. These are best obtained from
the home patch. As early in July as the
runners are large enough, 2Vii-inch pots
should be prepared by being filled Avith
a good potting soil. These are plunged
to the level of the ground in the straw-
berry bed Avherever they can be reached
by a good, strong runner. The young
plant already formed on the runner is
pegged down to the soil in the pot and
allowed to root Avell in the pot before
being separated from the parent plant.
All secondary runners forming on the
young })lant are, in the meantime,
pinched off' as they aj)pear. Just as soon
as the pots are filled Avith roots the plants
should be shifted up into 4-inch pots
and afterAvards into (5-inch pots, this be-
ing the best size to fruit them in.

Every effort should be made during
the growing period to keep the plants
groAving as strong and vigorous as pos-
sible, as the stronger the plants the more
certainty oi good results.

Next in rotation is the thorough rip-
ening of the plants, preparatory to be-
ginning to force. The best place for
them as winter approaches is a cold
frame Avhere the pots may be set close
together. Here they should be allowed to
stand uncovered until they have been
exposed to at least 10 degrees of frost;
l)ut Avhen the frost exceeds this they had
better be protected by covering, as too
much frost would crack the pots. Freez-
ing and thawing should also be provided
against as much as possible, though light
should not be excluded or loss of foliage
Avould result. Towards the end of De-
cember or beginning of January Ave usu-
ally find the plants sufficiently ripened
to be ready to force. Started at that
time, the hardest part of the season has
to be encountered. The later they are
left the easier the forcing operation
liecomes, but the season must be regu-
lated according to the time the fruit is
AA-anted. In private establishments, where
a continuous sui)ply is needed, the plants
are brought in in batches, the first being
taken in just; as soon as the plants are
ready.

When the plants are first introduced
to the house the tempera rare sliould not
at first exceed 45 degrees, but siiouid be
increased as groAvth adA-ances until, by

the time they are in full flouor, a tem-
perature of 55 degrees should be main-
tained. Once the fruit is well set the
temperature to facilitate ripening may
be run up to 65 degrees.

These figures represent the night tem-
peratures. A rise of 15 degrees in the
day time should be allowed right along
on bright days, but a little air should
be admitted, even if the temperature
does not rise more than 30 degrees
above the night figure during the flower-
ing period. Especially should air be ad-
mitted so as to keep the atmosphere as
dry as possible, to facilitate the distri-
bution of the pollen. A good many more
flowers are usually produced on the plant
than can be properly fertilized or could
be relied upon to develop into good
fruits. Ten fruits to a plant is consid-
ered a good crop, so it is a good plan,
after they are large enough to be dis-
tinguished, to select the ten best, and
remove the smaller fry, to give the others
all the benefit. The most troublesome
insect enemy that assails the plants is
red spider. To keep this under control
the syringe should be kept going freely
•whenever possible. During the flower-
ing stage it should be discontinued, but
may be resumed again after the fruit is
set — up to the time of coloring. "With
the fruit once well formed the plants
will stand quite liberal feeding, liquid
from barnyard or sheep manure being
the best to use. No doubt some of the
commercial fertilizers could be advan-
tageously employed, but we have always
had good results with the first-named
manures and have never found it neces-
sary to try anything else.

BEST STRAWBERRIES.

Please give me some information as
to what kind of strawberries would be
the best variety for greenhouse culture
in pots. T. N.

If you are going to confine yourself
to one variety I think Nick Omer is the
best. It is not quite so high class in
■quality as some of the others, but it
always can be relied on to produce
plenty of pollen for the fertilization of
the flowers. Lack of pollen is a draw-
back to many of the best flavored va-
rieties. The old Sharpless is one of
the best varieties for forcing purposes,
but is a rather shy producer of pollen
•during the short winter days, though by
growing this together with Nick Omer,
the later variety will produce pollen
enough to make up the deficiency.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Badge Book.

In accordance with the instructions
voted at the convention in Washington
last August, the secretary is now pre-
paring a badge book containing the
names of members, numbered, and will
issue correspondingly nvmibered badges
to those whose dues for 1906 are paid
previous to June 1. Members in arrears
for current year's dues, as well as all
persons intending to take out member-
ship this year, are earnestly requested to
remit now. There is no advantage in
waiting until Ihe convention meets, as
the fiscal year begins on January 1, and
payments made at any date during the
year cover the interim imtil December
31 only.

Sydney B. Werthcimer.

The size of the badge book will be
about 31/^x6 inches. Advertisements will
be inserted at $5 per page; one inch
cards, $1 each. Advertising copy must
be supplied not later than June 20.

MEN OF RIBBONS.

There are not many retail flower stores
of the first class that do not know the
pleasant countenance of Sydney B.
VVertheimer, for he calls upon a large
proportion of the florists and enjoys a
wide personal acquaintance in the trade,
covering the entire country. His house
enjoys a very large patronage, a large
proportion of which is due to his inde-
fatigability^

The firm of Lion Sc Wertheinier, now
Wertheimer Bros., was established in
1899 in a small room at 463 Broadway,
New iork. Leon G. \Vertheimer was the
pioneer, but a year later Sydney B. en-
tered the firm and the business began to
expand, the necessity for larger quarters
causing them to add Nos. 465 and 467
to their premises. S. B. Wertheimer
originated the system of the house and
conducts its advertising and extensive
catalogue department. Leon G. Wer-
theimer has for many years been the
general manager of the business. Be-
tween them the brothers have acquired
about all that is to be known of the
manufacture and marketing of ribbons
and chiffons; they know the value of
merchandise and the needs of the trade,
and there lies before them an excellent
prospect for an ever-widening field of
activities. They will he on hand at the
Dayton convention with another big dis-
play.

MAKING A START.

Advice for Beginners.

If you are ambitious to go into busi-
ness for yourself start a bank account
your next pay day. Keep out of your
wages only enough to pay for your
board, lodging, washing and absolutely
necessary wearing apparel. Stop going
to places that will require fine clothes
and boiled shirts; stop going out with
the boys; stop using liquor and tobacco;
and above all, stop "sportin'." If you
can't do this where you are, change jobs
and get a new start. You will find it
absolutely necessary to deny yourself
of very many things if you would spend
your old age in luxury. And no business
man Mill have anything to spend the first
few years except on the barest necessi-
ties, so don't start in by buying an
automobile, wearing loud clothes and
getting married unless your wife can sup-
port you instead of you supporting her.
Follow this sort of economy up by see-
ing how much you can save for your pres-
ent employer. Take care of his tools.
Test your judgment to the utmost to do
your heating, watering and airing with
artistic precision so that the boss will
get a few extra shekels by reason of
your high grade flowers or plants. Sub-
scribe for several trade papers and thus
get new ideas, and more indelibly fix in
your mind the older ones. But what-
ever you do, save, save, save! If board
and room cost you $4 per week, another
dollar will pay for your clothes (cheap
ones), furnishing goods and washing.
Do your own mending to pass away the
evenings. Some neighbor woman will
show you how. In this way $10 a week
will permit you to lay up $250 per year
and by working to your employer's best
advantage you will soon get $12 or
even $15 a week. It will take you from

essential is to iiniciire odod, st rcjujj;
plants. These are best obtained froiu
the home |iateli. .\s early in .liil.v as the
rniiiiers are laryc enough, l!'-_.-iii('h pots

••I yood polling soil. These are |)liii|o('d

|ieir\- bed wherever they ran be reached
by ;i yood. strong runner. The youuy
jilanl already formed on the runner is
peuoeij down to the soil in the ])ot and
allowed to root well in the |ioI before
beiiij.; separated from the paicnt plant.
.\ll secoinlary runners t'ormiiiy on the
yoiiiij; plant are. in the meantime,
pinched otf as they aji|ie;ir. Just as soon
as the pots are tilled with roots the plants
should be shifted lip into biiicli pots
and a t'terw.'irds into tidiich jkiIs. this be-
in;; the best si/e to I'lllit tlieiii in.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

May 17, 1906.

six to ten years to get a good start but
those years of living the simple life will
not be spent in riotous living but in pro-
longing your days, so you have really
lost nothing.

Securing a Location.

When you have accurnulatod your lit-
tle wad cast about for your opening in
some nice little town of 3,000 or more
inhabitants. If you can buy an unsuc-
cessful florists' business ycu can usually
make your money go farther than when
you build new and you, furthermore,
have an established trade to start with;
while on the other hand you are often
liable to get "soaked" if you are not
extremely careful. A lease for a year
or two with privilege of buying at a given
figure is the best way to buy a second-
hand place. I have known of fairly de-
cent opportunities to buy up a place for
from $1,000 to $2,000; whereas, a new
place (and if I built new 1 should build
as much as possible of concrete and iron
to keep down the usually large annual
repair account) would cost about $3,000.

If you build new choose as central a
location as you can so that people can
buy direct from your greenhouse. A
lot 66x165 feet in a small town will cost
about $500 and in a small city $1,000 to
$1,500. The second figure ought to get
you a lot well located in a city of 10,000
inhabitants. A house 22x100 feet of lat-
est construction, iron posts, gutters and
purlins and iron and tile benches, divided
into three compartments for maintaining
differences of temperature will cost from
$1,500 to $1,800, according as material
is high or low, and based on hot water
heating. Don't use steam on less than
25,000 feet of glass. A concrete basement
and boiler house 20x22 feet with two
hot water boilers will cost about $1,000.
Don't build a fire trap. Insurance, if
you can get any on it, will cost $2.50
a year on every $100 insurance on the
building and $3.50 per $100 on stock.
"With a full concrete basement you don 't
need insurance.

A small stock of palms, ferns and
other decorative stock will cost $500. I
should use the house only for decorative
material and potted plants, depending
on the nearest market for the cut flowers
and funeral designs. Thus your invest-
ment will be from $3,000 to $4,000 and
the repairs for the first ten years will
be a very small outlay.

Running Your Place.

You have probably all read about what
the receipts ought to be from a house of
this size. It has a reputation of earning
$1 per square foot but that's a pipe
dream. If you are a good trade getter,
kind, courteous, solicitous, and that is
not an easy matter when some old woman
comes around haggling over the price of
a 10-cent geranium when you ought to
be at the other end of the house mending
a leaky joint ; I say, if you are a ' * reg '-
lar rip snorter" over the sales counter
you may land about $750 the first year
and the business will cost you in the
neighborhood of $500 to run, not includ-
ing your wages nor interest on any
■noney you may have borrowed. On the
cut flowers you buy and sell you may —
you may — make a profit of $250, pro-
vided you can hand out about $20 worth
a week, besides the sales out of the
greenhouse, yet this profit depends on
how judiciously you bought and whether
you sold for cash or ' ' put it on the ice. ' '
If you extend credit too freely somebody
will get rich off your poverty.

From what I have just said you will

see how easy it will be to just miss
them 'ere $500 with which you intend to
pay yourself wages and develop the
' ' biz. ' ' But that will be no real cause
for discouragement. If you have taken
well my advice as to "hornin' in a
little on 'spenses" you will be able to
live on the net proceeds of the greenhouse
and then use the paper profits on the
posies for further development.

You can live on $250 a year if you have
to but the average man makes a grimace
when he takes the medicine. Of course,
if you are married and have nine or ten
children to support these remarks do not
hold out much encouragement to you but
it may save you from getting rid of

your little pile. If you have only a
wife and she is of the right sort she
can help you a good deal and -earn her
keep, but I don't advise you to get mar-
ried with that idea in view. The old
girl is liable to kick over the traces when
it comes to living in poverty row. A
successful business man can always find
a wife; in fact, he has the pick of the
bunch as a rule. It may take you from
five to ten years to firmly establish your-
self but you ought to be nicely fixed by
that time. Then you can think about the
wedded bliss business.

Some other time I'll hand you a hot
one on ' ' The Evils of Cut Prices for
the Beginner." Irving Gingrich.

ROSES NOT FLOWERING.

What can be the cause of the follow-
ing:

Dwarf roses, low budded stock, were
potted in pots about the middle of No-
vember and were put in cold frame and
were kept from hard frost. They were
hauled in the greenhouse the middle of
January and kept on 45 degrees from
the start and afterwards up to 60. They
grow vigorous, but do not flower. Some
of them have grown as high as three to
four feet. P. B.

Your treatment of the dormant H. P.
roses seems to have been almost perfect
and why they did not flower is not easy
to explain.

AVhen first potted, instead of plunging
in a cold frame where the wood and
eyes were exposed to many changes of
temperature, it would have been much
better to have laid them on their sides
out of doors and to have covered pots
and canes with four or five inches of soil.
This method was fully explained in the
paaes of the Eeview last October and it
is sound, as we proved this winter.

As your roses have grown vigorously,
I can only think of one cause why they
are blind. Perhaps when you potted
them or brought them into the green-
house you cut them down too low. The
first few eyes will make a vigorous
growth, but form no flower buds. Judg-
ment and experience can alone teach you
the right height to prune. W. S.

SOIL FOR ROSES AND CARNA-
TIONS.

I am building a new plant for carna-
tions and roses and I want to ask in
regard to the soil. I did not prepare
any soil for my houses last fall, as I
had no intention at that time of build-

ing. My soil is good and black and I
want to know how I can fix it for my
benches now to get good results from
my carnations and roses this winter.
Do you think I can make up a compost
now that would make good soil for car-
nations and roses by putting old rotted
manure and sand with it? How about
lime and bone meal? I can get a lot
of sandy loam if that will help. I have
been watching the Review of late to
see if I could find anything on this sub-
ject, but was unable to do so,

C. F, R.

You do not say whether your soil is
in the shap^ of sod. If it is, it would
be advisable to put it in a pile at once,
for, although there are not many weeks
to spare before you should plant roses,
yet some amount of rotting would take
place. In building a compact pile you
should add a wheelborrow of manure
to every three loads of sod. In the case
of rose soil do not use old rotten manure
• — it is of little use, except mechanic-
ally. Procure cow manure that is very
slightly decayed. If your black soil is
inclined to be heavy so much the better.
You need not add any sandy loam. The
bone meal can be worked into the soil
after the soil is on the bench. Notice
how large a space a certain number of
wheelbarrow loads go and then add for
each load one quart of bone meal or
flour.

There is more time with the carnation
compost because from the middle to the
end of July is the earliest that is de-
sirable unless you adopt the all-inside
culture and it is now too late for that.
Far better let them have a few weeks
in the field. If your "good black soil"
is heavy it would be well to add a half
of sandy loam and a fourth or fifth of
the old rotten manure. There is no need
to compost the material. Draw it up to
the greenhouse door and mix it there,
using the same amount of bone flour as
you do for the roses.

On a visit to the great Dale estate I
once noticed a very methodical plan of

May 17, 1006.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

1861

mixing soil for a rose bench and by
which it was almost impossible to have
one part of the bench overloaded with
manure or another part with not enough.
It was a bottomless box nine feet long,
three feet wide and one foot deep. The
soil was shoveled into this bottomless
box and when even full to the top of
the sides it contained just one cubic yard
of soil. Then the required quantity of
manure was spread on top of the soil and,
lastly, the bone meal was spread on the
manure. The box, or frame of boards,
was then lifted up and the workman
shoveled it over.

By this method you are sure that all
your bench will be uniformly of the
-same mixture. It is simple and accurate.

I would not bother with adding lime
this year. I think you will meet with
success without it. If you find that your
soil is devoid of lime then add it when
you make up your compost heap this
fall, which you certainly should do in
September or October. The most suc-
cessful men are doubtless very careful
and particular about their soils. I know
some who procure their sod in the fall
and stack it up in sheds with open sides
but tight roof so that when spring comes
workmen can chop it down without be-
ing hindered by wet weather. Then,
again, the majority of florists think lit-
tle about this all-important feature of
their business and neglect it until the
actual time arrives when they must have
it. They will pay out thousands for
fuel but are stingy and penurious over
paying for good soil, the very founda-
tion that makes for success.

Perhaps, after all, I have not made
myself very clear to a beginner, so will
say, in conclusion, if you will pursue this
crude formula you won't be far wrong:
Use the frame that holds just a cubic
yard; fill the frame with soil, add two
wheelbarrow loads of manure and one
peck of bone flour; mix it thoroughly
and then put on the bench to the depth
of five inches. It will be down to four
inches long before winter is over.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.

The florists of Bloomington met on
May 10 and organized a club to be known
as the Bloomington Florists' Club. They
adopted a constitution and elected the
following officers: President, A. K.
Knowles ; vice-president, John Gee ;
secretary and treasurer, J. \V. Adams,
of Normal. There were thirteen mem-
bers present. The charter was left open
until the next meeting, which will be
held June 7. At that meeting F. A.
Bailer will give a talk on peonies. As
he is a veteran peony grower it will
be worth while hearing.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Sunday ushered in the summer and
furnished the hottest May 13 on record,
while the days that preceded it were
unseasonably cold. Ice formed in many
places. . Much damage is reported among
the early vegetables and the peach buds.
But all this is not an unmixed evil, for
the planting time has been unduly pro-
longed and seedsmen and nurserymen
are still working night and day. The
auctioneers wear cheerful countenances
and their places are crowded with buy-
ers, the fair sex predominating.

The cut flower market is looking

through blue spectacles. There is per-
fect quiet on the surface of the stream
and it flows more slowly every day. It
is the early summer stagnation. 'Twas
ever thus. There will he ripples with
the approach of Decoration day and the
June weddings will stir things. But the
good old summer time is here.

There is not an over-abundance of any-
thing but lilac and yet prices are low
and the cleaning-up process goes on
daily. Eoses of all kinds are down and
many of them out. The carnation is
the strongest item. Fine novelties hold
at $6 per hundred. The ordinary kinds
go from $2 down to zero. There now are
plenty of lilies and valley every day in
the year, thanks to cold storage facili-
ties. Orchids are abundant again and
prices greatly shaded. Gladioli are com-
ing fast and America is in great de-
mand. A'^iolets have vanished after an
eventful year.

Qub Meeting.

At the club meeting Monday evening,
May 14, forty members were present.
The exhibit was small but choice. Lager
& Hurrell displayed a wonderful plant
of Cattleya gigas superbissima, with five
flowers of immense size on one stem.
The plant was valued at over $100.
Honorable mention was the verdict of
the committee.

Paul Niehoft", of Lehighton, Pa., sent
a vase of his new pink rose, Columbia,
a seedling from Bon Silene and Presi-
dent Carnot, which he has cultivated
since 1899 and for which he was given
a vote of thanks with the request for
another exhibit. The two plants of the
Wittmani fern were much admired; it
has already received the club's certifi-
cate.

The outing committee reported- ar-
rarrgements complete for July 2. E. V.
Ballock read the resolutions on the death
of August Rhotert. W. F. Ross, of
Newark, and Arthur Withers, of Jer-

sey City, were nominated for member-
ship.

As to the contemplated spring show,
in conjunction with the S. A. F., in
1907, the trustees requested further
time. It developed that Madison Square
Garden could not be secured. Mr. Wheel-
er said he thinks that if the S. A. F.
will come with the guarantee fund a
reality, a suitable place for a gigantic
exhibition can be assured. Mr. Traendly
said he thinks that without the Garden
it would be useless to ask the society to
New York.

P. O 'Mara referred interestingly to
his experience with the senators in the
discussion of the seed question and said
he thinks the end is in sight. Robert
Schultz, of Madison, spoke of unjust
express charges, which have been over-
come temporarily by the overland ex-
press. He asked that a protest be sent
to the U. S. Express Co. by the club
and humorously described his interview
with the officials and the dearth of
satisfaction and courtesy he experienced.
He said the majority have accepted the
overland system. Mr. Stewart read some
letters sent to the company by the secre-
tary of the S. A. F. and the unsatis-
factory answers received. Mr. Wheeler
moved to refer the matter to the legis-
lative committee. The committee has
$100 of the club's funds placed to its
credit for possible legal expenses.

C. B. Weathered moved the appoint-
ment of a committee to draw resolu-
tions in behalf of the San Francisco
sufferers and that a contribution of $100
be made in their behalf. The president
suggested individual subscriptions. Mr.
Hallock spoke in favor of club gener-
osity and a committee on resolutions,
Messrs. O'Mara, Traendly and Butter-
field, were appointed.

Sheridan were a}>pointe(l a committee
on resolutions of condolence. II. E.

tions on the death of Thos. De Voy, of
Poughkeepsie.

The transportation committee for the
Dayton convention is Frank H.
Traendly, John B. Nugent and Walter
Sheridan.

Mr. Hallock moved that President
Kasting be invited to attend the next
meeting, the second Monday in June,
with a view to securing the fullest possi-
ble information as to the proposed na-
tional flower show.

Horticultural Society.

The Horticultural Society held its
sixth annual meeting and exhibition on
Wednesday and Thursday of last week.
Handicapped by cold and rain the first
day, the attendance was not satisfactory.
Dr. Britton addressed the listeners on
Wednesday on ' ' Horticulture in the West
Indies," an interesting talk on personal
experiences.

The principal exhibitors were F. K.
Pierson Co., Siebrecht & Son and Lager
& Hurrell. The Pierson Co. was first for
collection of flowering shrubs, collection
of tulips and collection of narcissi, also
receiving a special award for carnations
and a bronze medal for collection of
greenhouse plants. Siebrechts were first
for collection of ferns, for cut roses
and received a special prize for new Rex
begonias. Lager & Hurrell were first
for orchids and had some splendid speci-
mens. Frank Weinberg received the
premium and a bronze medal for succu-
lents, etc.

The summer exhibition will take place
June 13 and 14. Roses, flowering shrubs,
native ferns, peonies, irises and bien-
nials, with vegetables and strawberries,
will constitute the exhibit. George
Skene will be in charge of the Botan-
ical Garden.

At Cottage Gardens.

At Cottage Gardens it is hard to real-
ize what has been accomplished during
the past year. A new house 46x;^00 is
just completed and the tile benches are
now being installed. Here Alma Ward
will reign supreme. The new style of
bench, with its three walls and ventila-
tion spaces, instead of the solid beds,
seems much more desirable and appar-
ently everlasting. This great white car-
nation will bloom until July. From one
house the average cut now is 250 daily.
The wholesale price is $6 per hundred in
the New^ York market. Another large
house completed in February, 22x140, is
filled with young stock of Alma Ward,
and the last of the large houses, 46x235,
will be finished by June 1 and is to be
planted to Robert Craig and Beacon.
These are all built by the Lord & Burn-
ham Co. About 3,000 carnations are
shipped daily. The varieties are Alma
Ward, Craig, Octoroon, Mrs. Patten,
President, No. 468 and the new white,
Xo. 2651. Ten thousand to 15,000 Elsa
Struss will be benched and two houses of
Craig, 10,000 altogether. Twenty-six
greenhouses, large and small, now com-
prise the plant devoted to these wonder-
ful productions. Over 2,000 seedlings
are under cultivation. For nursery pur-
poses 110 acres are used. The rise in
real estate on Long Island has quad-
rupled the value of this property since
its purchase by Mr. Ward. In the fifty
acres of woodland are over 15,000 plants
of the choicest varieties of rhododen-

drons. Many car loads of maximum
kalmias will be planted ; several acres
of i)eonies, over 100,000; ten acres of
evergreens, 200 varieties; four acres of
herbaceous stock; Japan maples in all
sizes; maples, pin oaks, elms, lindens,
])lanes antl a general assortment of orna-
mentals make up the balance of the
])lanting. Fine stables and houses have
been built and the new office, with its
dining-room, chef and all modern con-
veniences, will be a revelation to those
who enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Ward's hos-
pitality a little over a year ago and
have not since been there. I predict
many a tri]) by members of the New
York Florists' Club during the summer
season. It's worth the journey.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

Over-production, modified somewhat by
a cool wave, and, on Saturday, by the
children's festival, foreshadowed in the
Review exclusively last week, tell briefly
the market conditions. Carnations have
pold perhaps as well as anything.
Beauties have also been in demand. But
both in carnations and in Beauties there
are surpluses at times. There is con-
siderable demand for white lilac, rather
difficult to satisfy, but our hustling com-
mission men have usually been able to
unearth it. (I use this word advisedly.)
The feature of the market is the arrival
of peonies from the south, the Leo Nies-
sen Co. reporting excellent flowers, white
being "especially fine.

enabled through the courtesy of the
management to give the cut of one of
the Edgely houses for a year. It will
be noticed that these plants had re-
mained undisturbed for a long time, and
therefore the figures cover tlie entire
period of twelve months without the loss
of time required had the house been
cleaned and replanted. While it is im-
possible to gauge actual money returns
merely from the cut, the figures given
below are so large that they will be of
special interest to the majority of grow-
ers who have been working on diamet-
rically opposite lines. That is, they have
aimed to produce a maximum number
of flowers during the winter months and
to do this have expended money in clean-
ing and replanting, to say nothing of
the cost of young stock, all of which
expense has been saved under this sys-
tem. Here are the details:

business friends last Monday amidst gen-
eral regret. He left, as previously
stated in this column, for Martinsburg,
W. Va. George Thomson, who was to
have succeeded him as manager of the
Henry F, Michell Company, also de-
parted at about the same time, feeling,
it was said, that the strain would be too
great. Fred J. Michell promptly stepped
into the breach, and, for the present at
least, his cheerful personality will grace
both the manager's and treasurer's posi-
tions. He will be aided in the former
arduous place by several leading lights
of the company.

Rice & Co. received a notice of a se-
rious shortage in one of their ribbon
shipments recently. The firm checked up
the shipment and, finding it correct,
wrote the customer asking that the box
be again carefully examined. This was
done and the employed who had un-
packed the box, and, on second examina-
tion, still insisted the shipment short,
brought out the missing pieces of ribbon
from a corner of the case which had been
deposited under a bench in the green-
house. The amount involved was consid-
erable.

The Leo Niessen Co. has been ship-
ping lilacs to the south, indicating that
the demand there has outlasted the sup-
ply.

E. J. Fancourt, in charge of S. S.
Pennock's ribbons and supplies, will be

Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer &
Co., reports many dujjlicate orders for
their metallic designs for Memorial day,
which are of finer grade this year than
over before.

Last week I gave an account of a
new adju.stable plant stand, under the
heading "Mr. Berkowitz Helps Decora-
tors." It seems tliat this paragraph
caused a misapprehension in the minds
of a number of readers, who thought
that 'Sir. Berkowitz had invented the
plant stand himself. Clever as Mr. Ber-
kowitz is, he did not invent this plant
stand, nor did I intend to say that he
had done so. He is merely distributing
it for his firm.

NOTICE

Because of the new wage scale which
the Printers' Union has enforced upon
those employers not willing to stnfer
interruption of their businesst especially
because of that part of the scale which
makes overtime practically prohibitive,
it is of first importance that the Review
obtain its advertising **copy^ earlier.

It is therefore earnestly requested
that all advertisers mail their ''copy^
to reach us by Monday or Tuesday
morning, instead of We<mesday mom-
'ng, as many have done in the past.

Contributors also please take heed.

"A New Beginner" should sign his
inquiry; we then would take pleasure in
answering it.

St. Peter, Minn. — William Nicol, who
for fourteen years has been florist at the
Btate hospital, has resigned and will go
into business for himself at Watertown.

Here is my renewal; flon't skip any.
I would not lose a single copy for the
price of a whole year's subscription. —
Wm. W. Marugg, Pomona Nurseries,
North Pomona, Cal.

Ashtabula, O. — W. H. Hubbard and
W. H. Butler, of Sandusky; Judge Car-
los M. Stone, of Cleveland, and J. H.
Bice, J. L. Smith and Thomas Flicker,
of this city, have organized the Ashta-
bula Greenhouse Co., with a capital of
$50,000. They will build one of the
largest plants in the state.

BUFFALO.

State of Trade.

A week ago most indoor flowers were
going a-begging, but a week of cold,
dull weather has entirely altered this
state of affairs and both roses and car-
nations are in demand. It is quite no-
ticeable that when these popular flowers
are in over-supply the rose suffers most.
Carnations are now of such superlative
quality that they do not drop to any
such price as the poor little limp-
stemmed things of five years ago gen-
erally did in tne month of May.

It sounds strange to read of cities as
far north as we are being busy at flower
gardening. We don 't begin jn earnest
until the last few days of May, and
most of it is done the first two weeks of
June.

The market is our only relief for
crowded houses just now. Some firms,
like C. F. Christensen, Schwerdt &
Berner and the Pine Kidge florists, de-
pend largely on the market and what we
call peddlers, and a very good business
it is when an old Polish woman drives up
to your greenhouse door and you load
her up with 200 geraniums and she hands
you $18. You have done business, and
T think with more profit than putting
them in a vase or veranda box and send-
ing your bill three times by mail, and
at the seventh call of a collector you get
the amount. Yes, the peddlers are all
right.

There never has been as much reno-
vating and fixing up of lawns as there
ha.s been this spring. Many florists do
considerable of this work. Louis H.
Neubeck, S. A. Anderson and Wm. Scott
Co. pick up half a dozen extra hands
and do a little landscaping. A more
suitable word would be landscraping.
George McClure has done a lot of this
work this spring. He does excellent
work and charges a good price.

We have one firm in Buffalo that is
well worth calling landscape architects;
it is Fleming & Townsend. They are
fast attaining a national reputation and
have contracts in many widely scattered
parts of the country. A dozen years
more and our country will be as thickly
studded with rural homes and finely em-
bellished estates as is western Europe.

Various Notes.

There is not much local news and not
many visitors of late. President Kast-
ing is again blessed, this time with a
sweet little cherub of seven pounds of
the female sex. Dear little angel! I
know that she will be a great joy to
Billy and it will be good news to papa's
many friends that mother and babe are
progressing most favorably.

While on society events it is worth
mentioning that the engagement of Miss
Helen C. A. Scott to John Mclntyre
Grattan was announced last week. This
young man for long was known to the
Old Man as Number 13.

Mr. Keynolds, of the Scott Floral Co.,
Denver, gave us a visit last week, and
very glad we were to see him. Being a
very level-headed little gentleman, he
gave us a true account of conditions and
circumstances connected with floricul-
ture in the Rockies. Mr. Reynolds is
just the character I would pick out to
put the brakes on the senior member of
the firm. He spoke of the great suc-
cess of Ben Boldt, our old Buffalo boy,
the great carnations grown by Mr. Ben-
son and the fine general stock grown by

the Park Floral Co, at its big plant.
Mr. Lautensch lager was a caller in the
interest of Kroeschell Bros. Co., of Chi-
cago. Most things since historical times
have migrated westward, but the Kroes-
chell boiler seems to be moving east as
well as west. W. S.

THE BEAUTY OF ORDER.

A neat little story on the value of
tidiness appeared in the last issue of
the Review. A few days before, I was
inspired to write something on the same
line, and began it, but it evaporated.
We have some very wise maxims handed
down to us by tradition, viz., that
* * Cleanliness is next to godliness, ' ' and
further that ' ' Order is Heaven 's first
law." The first is attriouted to a king
of Assyria, who lived on the banks of
the Euphrates, where water was cheap.
The order business was dictated by the
glorious old King iJavid, of Jerusalem,
who had seventeen wives and saw the
necessity of keeping order. Seventeen
was not so many, but David issued this
motto for the benefit of liis boy, Solo-
mon, who went his dad 983 better.
Birthdays and Christmases must have
been dreaded events in those days.

It is proverbial that those who keep
orderly establishments, not only in our
line, but in all where merchandise is
handled, are the men who are most suc-
cessful.

We notice young men who are wonder-
fully neat in their clothes. Their pants
must be pressed at least every two
weeks and they are as fastidious over
their tailoring as an Astorbilt would be,
yet these same young men will pass and
repass dead plants and unsightly rub-
bish without notice.

Order in a greenhouse is an absolute
necessity, but it is not so often violated
as in the immediate surroundings. The
smaller your place, the greater the need
of order. There is a wise saying that
there is no such thing as dirt. What
is called dirt is matter out of place.

Every florist has more or less of a
dump, where the^ulb boxes are emptied,
or where plants that have passed their
usefulness are thrown. This is not use-
less dirt, for if kept separate it can
always be used, but when it is mixed
wuth broken glass and pots and other
ingredients it is truly dirt.

The excuse of want of time is no ex-
cuse and is the resort of an untidy man,
who is devoid of neatness and order.
There is nothing unsightly connected
with our business, and your backyard
should always bear inspection. A neap
of coal is very warming and comfortable
and a well built up mound of sod or
compost is actually beautiful to the eye
of a good gardener.

Yes, Mr. Editor, this is a large sub-
ject and could be greatly elaborated, to
the benefit of many of your readers, but
neither time nor space is at my disposal.
It is not want of time nor help, my boy,
that makes your place slovenly and un-
tidy. It is your own carelessness and in-
difference, and as you realize that you
do not possess the phrenological bump
of order, strive to cultivate the faculty
of order, or, easier, suppress the vice
of disorder. W. S.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Toward the end of last week the mar-
ket pursued its even course, with ade-
quate supplies in all departments, but
no over-stock in carnations. Cool weather
had much to do with holding back the
receipts, and when on Saturday the ther-
mometer registered 83 in the shade the
wholesalers prepared for large receipts
on Monday, in which they were not dis-
appointed.

This week opened with about as heavy
a glut as has been recorded in recent
years. Roses continue to be the greatest
difficulty. There is much more stock
than legitimate requirements can con-
sume. A large part of the local demand
is for funeral work and the shorts are
making relatively better prices than the
medium grades. The strictly fancy stock
is selling fairly well, but stock which
cannot be sold as fancy must a large
part of it go at funeral flower prices.

Jt had been stated that there was
nothing in sight in the carnation houses,
but the sun evidently found something,
for on Monday carnations were again
over-abundant. However, it is not
thought that the especially heavy cut
will continue.

Sweet peas were good property up to
Saturday, but this week there are quan-
tities more than can be consumed by the
stores, and first-class peas are finding
their way into the baskets of cheap
stock. There are also over-supplies of
daisies which are hard to move. Quan-
tities of outdoor tulips are offered, in-
cluding some especially fine Parrots.
Last week everyone wanted lilac; now
there are literally wagon loads in almost
every house and no one will even make
an offer. Peonies are in heavy receipt
and selling slowly. There will be an
interval between the southern crop and
the local cut, but another glut is in sight
in this department.

Several growers are again ready to
cut smilax and asparagus in quantity.

On Monday there was a good shipping
demand, but Tuesday was about the
dullest day of the season and the ac-
cumulation was heavy. Local trade is
exceptionally light. The Greeks are the
principal buyers and they are not doing
anything to speak of.

Decoration Day.

Orders for Decoration day are already
being booked. For several years this
holiday rapidly has been developing and '

it now calls for an immense amount of
stock. What the supply will be is not
a matter on which there is unanimity
of opinion; but it has little effect on
prices. Buyers can use stock only at
moderate figures on this day. Once
more it is said that there will be a
shortage of carnations, but the wise
grower will keep his cut coming right
along; to hold stock back will be to in-
vite disaster. Kose crops likely will be
lighter than in the first half of May.
Lilies will be abundant, also sweet peas.
The Missouri peonies are on this week
and going into cold storage for Decora-
tion day. The southern Illinois crop is
beginning and much of it will be stored.
The Texas jasmine growers report a dry
spring, which they say has reduced tlio
crop and impaired the quality, especially
shortened the stems. But half last
year 's supply will suffice ; thousands were
lost last year and many sold for a song.

Qub Meetin£.

At the meeting of the Florists' Club
May 10 it was voted to invite the Chrys-
anthemum Society of America to hold
its annual meeting and exhibition in
Chicago next November in connection

with the local show, for which it is un-
derstood the Coliseum will again be
available, although a considerably in-
creased rental is demanded because of
last year's success. The president also
was instructed to appoint a committee
of rose growers to consider the possibil-
ity of making a success of a spring stow
of roses if the Kose Society is invited
here.

The collection of $273 for the San
Francisco fund was reported and con-
siderably more was said to be in sight,
although many firms had, like the Al-
bert Dickinson Co., which contributed
$1,000 through the Board of Trade, and
the Review, which mailed a check for
$50 at the first call of the Commercial
Club, sent their subscriptions to the
general fund weeks ago. The disposi-
tion of the florists ' fund was not deter-
mined.

Variotsi Notes.

George Eeinberg has leased rooms 207

made necessary by the greatly increased
production and by the further heavy in-
crease in sight for next season, coming
from the big new range now in course
of erection. One side of the room is
glass and the quarters will be among
the lightest and airiest in town. Nat-
urally, Joseph Foerster, the manager of
Mr. Beinberg's selling department, is
pleased at the change, but the move is
not the only cause for the smile he wears
these days. It's the first daughter.

P. J. Hauswirth and Mrs. Hauswirth
plan to leave on Thursday morning for
San Francisco, where Mr. Hauswirth is
sent by the High Mogul, Big Chief
€herry, of the Red Men, to take charge
of the distribution of the relief fund
raised by the Eed Men all over the na-
tion for the members of the order. As
the fund amounted to $8,000 at the date
Mr, Hauswirth received his appointment
and is expected to be $25,000 by the
time he is on the ground, he has quite a
task before him, especially as his only
instructions are to make the best use
of the money his judgment dictates.

It is estimated that local wholesalers
and one or two Michigan parties have
at this date not less than 3,000,000 ferns
in the "Western Cold Storage Warehouse.
Some are coming out in perfect condi-
tion, but more require picking over, and
fiome are being dumped as soon as the
case is opened. The loss is heavier than
osual this year. The quantity stored and

the present quality preclude a clean-up.
Alfred Hildred has a very attractive
store at 2928 Indiana avenue and always
has a well-arranged show window. The
location is only a couple of blocks from
the stand occupied for many years by
the E. Hobbs Co., now conducted by
G. C. Wagner. It is a good neighbor-
hood and eacji does a nice trade.

The George Wittbold Co. reports that
the total of sales for April was again
the greatest in the history of the firm.

The E. F. Winterson Co. is congratu-
lating itself on the condition of its
ferns in cold storage. On May 12 Mr.
Winterson said they still hau 600,000 re-
maining of what were stored last Sep-
tember, and he anticipates no trouble
in selling out by Decoration day or
thereabouts.

George Eeinberg's vacating his pres-
ent quarters in the Atlas block leaves a
mascot room open for someone. Success
has attended the efforts of every tenant.
K. C. Amling occupied the space as long
as it would serve his purpose.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. is enjoying a
remarkable cut of Chatenay. The buds
are of exceptional size, stem four feet
or more in length and well clothed with
foliage.

Mrs. Kuske, of Niles Center, passed

very busy with building and replanting.
A. H. Budlong's soil pulverizer is at-
tracting the attention of visiting
growers.

At this date last year the express
drivers' strike was making trouble and
business was at its lowest ebb.

August Dresel, at Crown Point, Ind.,
suffered a slight stroke of paralysis a
few weeks ago. He is now about as
usual, but will shortly sell out and retire
from business.

The Blair Grocery Co., Galax, Va., put
two cars of galax leaves in cold storage
at Chicago last fall and has made de-

The Market

After a period of dark, rainy and
chilly weather we are having some warm
sunshine and it looks pretty good. Busi-
ness is picking itself out of the dust and
has improved a great deal since last
report. Not only has the supply dimin-
ished greatly, but the demand has in-
creased. Consequently, prices are begin-
ning to rise and everything has an en-
couraging aspect. Weddings are using
up large quantities of flowers, and there
is a good amount of funeral work.
After about two weeks of very poor
business it is certainly good to see stock
moving out as it ought to. From pres-
ent indications the market will not have
a chance to become glutted, so several
weeks of good business should be be-
fore us.

The supply of carnations seemed to
fall off all at once. Between two days
the glut vanished and there was almost
a scarcity. At present the wholesale
houses arc entirely sold out of them
after the morning rush is over. Still, a
pretty large cut is being received every
day.

Kosos liave held in better supply than
carnations, but tliey are letting up. They
are smaller, but there is not so much
mildew as is usual at this time of year.
The demand is lieavier for white and
these sell out quickly.

Largo quantities of iris arc coming
in and a few peonies are to be seen.
They are of the earlier varieties and are
not very good. In a few days the finer
varieties will be with us and if they
sell as well this year as they did last we

Various Notes.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Society was lield last Saturday evening.
There was a larger attendance than
usual. The main topic was the rapidly
approaching convention at Dayton. It
was decided to call a general meeting
of all of the florists in this city, to be
held in the club rooms, Saturday, June
9. At this meeting full arrangements
will be made to organize a large delega-
tion to attend the convention. Besides
this it is the intention of the local craft
to go prepared to boom the Queen City
and show the florists of the country what
hustlers we have in this city. So just
keep your eye open for the Cincinnati
delegation.

C. E. Critchell, who is chairman of
our bowling committee, is hustling to
get the bowlers together and Cincinnati
will be on hand with a bowling team
which will give a good account of itself.
Cincinnati wants the S. A. F. to meet
liere in 1909, which will be its twenty-
fifth anniversary. It is being talked

over every time a party of florists gets
together and plans are already maturing.
We want everyone to keep this in mina^
and when the time comes, as it will al-
most before you know it, we want every
florist in the whole country to be on
hand for the greatest convention ever
held by the national society.

The planting-out season is now on in
earnest, and from all reports it will be
a record-breaker this year. The demand
for all kinds of bedding plants has
never been better.

George & Allan are sending in some
very fine valley and they say that they
will have a steady supply through the
wedding season.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Business is still good, with roses to
meet all demands, but a decided short-
age of carnations. Outdoor stuff is be-
ginning to show up in good quantities,
and will relieve the situation. Prices
all along the line are good and every-
one seems to be happy. Most of the
growers are busy with Decoration day
orders and, judging by the present de-
mand, there will be a decided shortage
on all lines of bedding plants, and one
of the best seasons ever enjoyed is now
with us.

Various Notes.

The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. reports
the sale of five car-loads of the ever-
lasting tile bench last week, and a large
number of enquiries about the Sabin
plant stand.

Smith & Fetters and the Gasser Co.
sent out seven loads of flowers to the
Todd funeral.

John Kirschner has put on a large
force of men to help over the bedding
season.

New Haven, Conn. — At the May
meeting of the New Haven Horticultural
Society, F. C. Thompson, of West Haven,

livery team of John Smith, of Bethlehem
township, let the horses get beyond con-
trol, with the result that there was a
bad mix-up on West Washington street

BOSTON.

The Market.

There continues to be a moderate call
for flowers, ami as the supply has per-
ceptibly diminished, values have held up
fairly well. Koses are coming in of good
quality and the better grades are in
fair request. The street fakers secure
a good many of the smaller blooms.
Some very fine Beauty, Killarney, Rich-
mond, Liberty and Wellesley were noted
the past week. Occasional lots of Carnot
are also seen.

Carnations are deteriorating in qual-
ity. Enchantress is coming baiUy faded
and Fair Maid is now preferred, as it
holds its color better, l.awson also has
a more washy look. Prices range from
75 cents to $3 per hundred. A few
double violets were seen, about the last
of the season. A fair supply of Yellow
Trumpet daffodils, tulips and Poeticus
narcissi are still arriving from the open.
Gladiolus The Bride and its colored
forms, Spanish iris, stocks, feverfew,
antirrhinum, candytuft and an a.ssort-
nient of other seasonable flowers are
seen. Prices are likely to hold up fairly
well until Memorial day, for growers
will hold back as much material as pos-
sible for that holiday, local retail trade
calling for an immense amount of ma-
terial over and above what goes to the
wholesale markets.

Qub Meeting.

An unusually good audience greeted
E. O. Orpet, the speaker at the club
meeting on May 15, the largest ever
seen at a ^lay meeting. Mr. Orpet spoke

in a racy and very interesting way on
the subject selected, "The Making of
a Gardener," and one of the liveliest
discussions on record followed. Some
of the ideas brought out we will refer
to in a later issue. President Wheeler
read a financial report of the recent
club banquet and reports from the recent
rose and carnation banquet committees
showed a balance on hand of $125. The
coming meeting of the American Peony
Society was discussed and a dinner to
the visiting members favored.

Some preliminary discussion regard-
ing the coming club picnic was indulged
in. Tills will probably take place in
August. Once more the membership
roll was swelled by many names, includ-
ing both ladies and gentlemen. There
were, as usual, some fine exhibits. .T. T.
Hutterworth showed a magnificent plant
of a pure white Cattleya Mossia? in a
7-inch pot, carrying "fifteen flowers,
which attracted much favorable notice.
Kefreshmonts were served as usual, and
tlio evening proved a most stimulating
:iiul interesting one.

Various Notes.

Peirce Bros, have 10,000 clumps of
Spiraea Japonica which will be just right
for Memorial day trade.

Dahlia specialists are experiencing a
very heavy call at present. J. K. Alex-
ander, of East Bridgewater, one of the
largest growers in this section, has found
it necessary to work sixteen to twenty
hours daily for some time to keep
abreast of his orders. The cactus sec-
tion continues to be in heaviest demand.

William Sim will have his usual grand
lot of candytuft for Memorial day. He

From present indications a magnificent

ton next month. The Massachusetts
Horticultural Society has sixteen classes
allotted to them in addition to those

^'rosts and some uamage to early crops

marked the highest point reached during
the present year. W. N. Craig.

Charles P. Grimmer, one of the best
known florists of Boston, died suddenly
May 10, at Chatham, Mass. He had been
in failing health for the last two years.
He came to this country from Germany
when a young man. After spending a
few years in St. Louis and New York,
he came to Boston and established a
florist business in 1877 at the corner of
Tremont and West streets, and has re-
mained in that vicinity ever since. He
carried on a large and successful business
and was known to be a man of strict in-
tegrity in all his business transactions.

five children.

DAYTON, OHIO.

G}nvention Preparations.

The Dayton Florists' Club is rapidly
getting things into shape for the August
convention of the S. A. F. Harmony
prevails and everyone is working with a
will. Dayton is exceptionally well lo-
cated, being very central for our trade,
and offers unexcelled railroad connec-
tions, all of which goes to insure pos-
sibly the largest attendance which has
ever been recorded.

Horace M. Frank has been appointed
superintendent of trade exhibits and has
prepared plans showing the space at the
disposal of exhibitors. The exhibition
building is octagonal, 150 feet in diam-
eter, with two floors, the lower floor
being reached by four entrances, making
all the locations equally choice. The
dome is high and the second floor,
reached by two stairways, is equally as
desirable as the first. The rotunda
opening is fifty-five feet across, insur-
ing good light. Superintendent Frank
will send prints showing the allotment
of space to any intending exhibitor.

Class A is to occupy the space imme-

Classes C, D, F and G are also located
on the first floor. Classes B, E and any
overflow from class G will be on the
second floor.

The outdoor display will be one of the
special novelties of the convention and
one of the most interesting features.
There is abundant room for this depart-
ment.

The ofiicers of the Dayton Florists'
Club are: President, J. B. Heiss; vice-
president, Chas. Lutzenberger ; secretary,
Horace M. Frank; treasurer, H. H. Bit-
ter. The committee chairmen are: Re-
ception, F. W. Eitter; hotels, J. B.

tertainment of the ladies will be in
charge of a committee headed by the
Misses M. and L. Johnson. H. M. Al-
tiek, vice-president of the S. A. F., is
in charge of the bowling.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The past weeK found very little
change in the cut flower business. A
little spurt now and then, with funeral
work or a small wedding, is about all
that is going on among the retail men.
On the other hand, the greenhouse men
are very busy with bedding and the sale
of plants. The past week the weather
was quite cool, with a slight frost,
enough to kill some of the tender plants.

The wholesalers are still over-stocked,
although the prices are somewhat better.
The market is short on really fancy
stock. Carnation receipts continue heavy
at all the commission houses, the bulk
of the stock being of very good quality,
with prices never so low as the past two-
weeks.

In roses the fancy grades are in de-
mand, white first, and seconds too plen-
tiful to sell at anything like a fair price.
Sweet peas are in good supply and sell-
ing exceptionally well. Peonies are com-
ing in quite heavily and are in good de-

Death of Wm. Schray.
William Schray, one of the oldest
florists in St. Louis, died at 4 p. m.
Tuesday afternoon. May 15. He was 72
years of age, and esteemed by all who
knew him. The funeral will be held on
Thursday afternoon. May 17.

Qub Meeting.

The club held its May meeting last
Thursday afternoon, in the club's rooms
on Grand avenue. President Ammann
was on hand early, but did not expect
many members to attend, as nearly all
are too busy with their spring planting;
still, quite a few of the regulars came
out.

W. C. Smith was proposed for mem-
bership. The trustees were instructed
to prepare an entertainment for the
members on the night of June 28, to
celebrate the nineteenth anniversary of
the club, and to report at the next meet-
ing, June 17.

The secretary announced that at the
next meeting Wm. Winter will lead a
discussion on "Growing Sweet Peas Un-
der Glass and Outside, ' ' and Henry Aue
a discussion on ' ' Growing Smilax in the
Best and Most Profitable Way." After
this the members adjourned across the
way to a garden for lunch, when mat-
ters for the convention at Dayton were
talked over. President Ammann is in
hopes that a large delegation will attend
the convention.

They are still planting onion seed in
the marsh districts of Indiana and Ohio.
The acreage is about equal to last year's
and the stand better. The late planting
last year brought good results; hence
planting may continue for another week,
as there is some of the ground not yet
prepared.

Repokts from the pea growing sec-
tions are that the stand from early seed-
ing is good. A cold spring kept planting
back, but favorable weather for the past
two weeks has more than made up for it.
There still are some pieces to be planted,
but it is thought that by the end of the
week all seeding will have been done.
The outlook is good.

The usual seasonable drop in trade is
being experienced by most of the seed
houses. Mail orders are not any easier
to fill, but there are fewer of them. The
jobbers are drawing breath and getting
ready for the turnip seed season. Coun-
ter trade continues brisk but not up to
the volume of a week ago. Everybody
seems to be satisfied and expects to find
good profitable margins when the season
is summed up.

Vegetation generally never looked
better in the California seed-growing
section. The March rains came at an
opportune time. There may have been
some small damage to some fields through
cracks opening during the April quake,
and mud being emitted, but nothing of
any importance has been reported. In
San Jose rebuilding of wrecked struc-
tures is being rapidly pushed and the
people have adopted the slogan ' ' Forget
it! Get busy."

Reports generally from the onion set
districts are that the stand is good, acre-
age about equal to last year. The growth
in the fields at present is equal to what
it was at June 1 last year, giving a two
weeks' start in favor of this year. This
will be an advantage, as the earlier a
set crop can be matured, the better it is
for the quality of the product. Rain is
needed on the clay ground and the wire
worm is working some damage on sandy
land. The maggot is also getting in
some work.

C E. Kendel.

A BIT OF CLEVELAND HISTORY.

In xS39, John Stair, recently arrived
from England, started a grocery store
with a side line of seeds, locating in
Superior street, Cleveland, O., near where
the postoflSce is temporarily situated.
He took in his son, Benjamin H. Stair,
and called the firm J. Stair & Son. In
1852 he moved into a new store at 115
Ontario street, where the business has
been conducted uninterruptedly for fifty-
four years.

In 1857 A. C. Kendel began work for
John Stair as boy, to sweep and clean
and incidentally learn the seed business.
Upon the death of Jolin Stair, his son,
B. H., took Mr. Kendel into partnership,
calling the firm B. H. Stair & Co. In
1875, Mr. Stair died and A. C. Kendel
continued the business for himself and
the widow of John Stair, changing the
firm name to Stair & Kendel. Four
years later, upon the deatli of Mrs.
Stair, Mr. Kendel bought the Stair in-
terests and called the firm A. C. KendeL

In 1887 A. C. Kendel died and until
his two sons, C. E. and W. F. A., who
left school to enter the business, attained
their majority, the business was con-
ducted by Benjamin Wood, the book-
keeper since 1866, who was appointed
executor by the will of A. C. Kendel.
The younger of the two sons became of
age in 1893, when the business was
turned over to them, a partnership being
formed and the firm name, A. C. Ken-
del, continued.

Not long after the firm removed to
Ontario street the grocery part of the
business was dropped and the fruit com-
mission business taken on, this branch
following the spring seed business and
continuing well into winter. The fruit
commission business was continued until
about five years ago and played an im-

portant part in the business lite of
Cleveland. The first (California fruit ever
shipped to Cleveland was handled by
this firm, Bartlett ])ears at that time re-
tailing at l-'5 cents eadi. Bananas wore
shipped by rail from As])inwall and were
sold at 15 cents each. Lemons brtmght
$15 per box.

In 1885 a cold storage warehouse for
the storage of apples, pears and grapes,
with a capacity of 600 tons of ici'. was
added to the business and this still con-
tinues, enabling the firm to korp l)usy
almost the year around.

Contrary to the usual custom witii seed
stores, this firm has felt that it could
I)etter serve the immediate neighl)()rhood
rather than extend its sphere and it lias
come now to be known as a head(|uarters
for seeds, bulbs and bedding ])lants for
Cleveland and nearby towns, ami is con-
sidered by many to be the best located
seed store for the retail business in the
United States. It has a notable trade
on lawn grass seed, selling by tar the
greater part of the seed that has made
( 'leveland 's famous lawns. In 1 S97 it
was fortunate in securing a new sweet
corn from a retired gardener who liad
grown it for many years, whidi was
named Kendel 's Early Giant and has
introduced the name of the firm wher-
ever swec t corn is grown.

In 1908 C. E. Kendel was elected sec-
retary of The American Seed Trade
Association, is a member of the Cleve-
land Chamlaer of Commerce and repre-
sents his firm in the Retail Merchants'
Board of the Chamber. Mr. Kendel is
now devoting his brief leisure to jterfect-
ing arrangements for the twenty-fourth
annual meeting of the Seed Trade Asso-
ciation at Toledo, June 26 to 28, which
jiromises to be a most successful gather-
ing.

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

Coming after exceptionally hot
weather, 10 degrees of frost was regis-
tered in some parts during this week.
Snow has fallen from Newcastle-on-
Tyne to Jjondon in the south. I ex-
pect shortly to hear many reports of
further and very considerable losses in
seed crops, as the warm weather had
caused growth to be exceptionally for-
ward, and Essex, the principal seed-
growing county of England, has suffered
more than usual, there being quite eight
inches of snow over the greater part
yesterday.

The Dutch bulb fields have also suf-
fered to some extent and reports to hand
are that the crops are very moderate.
This state of things will affect seeds-
men 's samples of bulbs probably more
than forcing samples, as bulbs that have
caught the frost are never so satisfac-
tory to produce just the large, clean and
even-shaped samples required for first-
class bedding effects.

The Royal Horticultural Society has
decided to hold a trial of cannas at Wis-
ley this year, and the American grow-
ers are asked to contribute. Roots should
be addressed to Superintendent R. H. S.
Gardens, Wisley, Riply, Surrey.

SEEDSMEN BEFORE THE SENATE

On May 10, representatives of the
leading seed firms assembled at the New
Willard hotel, Washington, preliminary

May 11. In behalf of the seedsmen, the
following addressed the Senate Commit-
tee: Ex-Gov. Nathan J. Bacheldor, of
New Hampshire, Master of the National
Grange; John Fottler, Jr., of Schlegel &
Fottler Co., Boston; Burnett Landreth,

Senators Proctor, of Vermont; Per-
kins, of California ; Dolliver, of Iowa ;
Money, of Mississippi ; Frazier, of Ten-

Burnham, of New Hampshire, and Sim-

and questioned the seedsmen, showing
considerable interest in the matter. They
desired to know if the seedsmen objected
to the distribution of really valuable
seeds calculated to improve agriculture. In
reply, the seed.smen said that they recog-
nized the good work done by the De-
partment of Agriculture in that direc-
tion but they did not think it right that
the government should give away at ran-
dom, peas, beans, lettuce and other com-
mon seeds which may be bought at any
corner grocery.

It was shown to the committee that the

the country, are, so far as known, unan-

Many letters were submitted from edi-

He urged that the money which goes into

the advancement of agriculture. He stat-
ed that the National Grange has a mem-
bership of 800,000, with branch granges
in thirty states. He said that as a body
the farmers do not want the seeds — there
may be scattering instances where farm-
ers do want them, but a very great ma-

J 875

Master of the Maryland Grange, ex-
plained that the reason the delegates to
the National Grange were opposed to
the free seed distribution was because
they wanted the money expended in a
more useful work.

John Fottler, Jr., took a whack at the
recent adulteration "exposure" of the
Department of Agriculture. He defend-
ed the seed trade agains^ the charges of
adulteration and submitted documents
proving that nature is the greatest adul-
terator of all, producing in fields grow-
ing for seed, other inferior grasses, the
seeds of which it is impossible for the
farmer or seedsman to separate. He de-
clared that no machinery ever has been
invented that will separate these seeds so
as to insure absolute purity. He related
an instance of a seed dealer in Boston
who was asked to supply a sample of
four pounds of orchard grass seed, the
only ordfer for that kind of seed he re-
ceived in the course of a year. He did
not have it in stock and bought it from
an outsider and filled the order. It de-
veloped later that the order was from an
agent of the Department of Agriculture,
and because the sample, the only one of
the kind handled during the year, con-
tained other seeds, he was branded as an
adulterator of seeds by the Department
of Agriculture.

William Henry Maule told of his pur-
<}hase of a new variety of onion from a
California grower. He spent thousands
of dollars advertising this variety and
putting it on the market. The Depart-
ment of Agriculture purchased a lot of
seed of ostensibly the same variety, and
sent it out free. Later it developed that
the Department had been deceived, its
seed not being of the true variety. Two
hundred and fifty thousand packages had
been distributed and when the seeds came
up developed the commonest kind of on-
ions. As a result Mr. Maule 's business
in that variety of onion seed, for which
he had purchased the exclusive right, was
ruined. All he got from the Department
of Agriculture was an apology.

Henry W. Wood told the committee
that "some people will always ask for
anything they can get for nothing." He
related an instance of his firm, on the re-
quest of a New Orleans schoolgirl, send-
ing a celluloid bookmark, worth 2 cents.
As a result, they received from New Or-
leans alone 163 requests for that brand
of bookmark. By this he illustrated the
•difference between requests for free
seeds and a great demand for them.

Patrick O'Mara made the point that
this government is the only one that
gives away anything and the only thing
this government gives away is seeds. He
thinks the government has no more right
to give away seeds than horses, cows or
farming implements. He stated further
that if the farmers are to be helped in
their business, aid should be given to
other trades and occupations. In Jersey
City, where he resides, seeds are distrib-
uted through the political organizations.
In his opinion the farmers do not want
the seeds.

H. B. Hathaway told the senators how
three firms of seedsmen in and about
Eochester, N. Y., had been brought into
financial diflSculty by the competition of
the government's free seed distribution.
Holding the paper of these seedsmen,
his bank had been compelled to go into
the seed business. He told of a member
of congress, also a banker, who dumped
his quota of seeds on a table in the
bank and invited all comers to help
themselves. When the ' ' distribution ' '

A CORNER IN PALM SEEDS.

At the annual meeting of the Nursery-
men 's Association of Victoria, the presi-
dent announced that a singular develop-
ment had taken place in connection with
the kentia palm seed trade of Lord Howe
Island. This island, although 600 miles
distant from the mainland, had been
gazetted as a reserve to the Sydney Bo-
tanical Gardens. The result was that a
Mr. Farnell, a visiting magistrate, had
leased the island for seven years, and
had contracted with Messrs. Sanders &
Sons for the export supply, and thus
secured a corner in the kentia palm seed

trade. All orders for this particular
branch of trade would have to be exe-
cuted through Mr. Farnell.

Lord Howe Island, although gazetted
a reserve apart from its remote distance
from the mainland, had been leased in
sections by a number of persons for the
cultivation of palm seeds. They did not
make much headway until Mr. Farnell
improved their position by securing for
them double their former prices of the
seed. Now ^Ir. Farnell had cancelled
all these leases for some reason or other,
not yet clear to his mind, and let a con-
tract to Messrs. Sander & Sons for the
whole of the seed raised on the island

for export at £3 per bushel. Six years
ago the price was six shillings per
bushel.

The Australian International Nursery-
man comments upon the subject as fol-
lows: Fresh matter has come to hand,
and we learn that a contract has been
arranged by Mr. Farnell, the visiting
magistrate for Lord Howe Island, with
Messrs. Sander & Sons, of Belgium, to
the amount of £2,000 per annum as a
minimum; this provides for a monopoly.

The New South Wales Nurserymen's
Association is on the vim about this, but
we believe the action comes too late. A
deputation waited on Mr. Farnell, but
we hear it was too late to make any
effect. Mr. Farnell practically accepted
the offer on behalf of the seed collectors,
without consulting the Australian trade
whatever. Lord Howe Island is a por-
tion of Australia and the trade here
should have been well informed on such
a vital Australian matter.

It means now that all future palm
seed for Australia must be purchased
from Sander & Sons, Belgium, at more
than double prices.

We would suggest that if the contract
has only been made by the year that
the matter be thrashed out at the next
federal conference of nurserymen and
seedsmen, to be held in Sydney in No-
vember, 1906, and that the ways and
means be found to control this from
Australia, and by the Australian trade.
We would like all those affected to ex-
press their views to the whole trade
through this medium ; it is the only
means of private trade publicity.

We put it down first that every true
nurseryman and seedsman desires to
assist his fellow tradesmen, and that
truly at heart they do not desire to know
state boundaries and trivial petty jeal-
ousies which have only been bred by
imputation.

If trade action is now too late it can
be remedied for the future. Lord Howe
Island should be a real live asset to the
Australian nursery and seed trade; it
simply wanted a little capital and a
large amount of vigorous Yankee pub-
licity.— Horticultural Trade Journal.

TWIN CITIES.

The Market '

Trade the past week has been only fair.
The forepart of the week it was very
cold and it wound up by being extremely
hot. These conditions no doubt had con-
siderable to do with trade. Stock is
plentiful. Eoses are fine. Growers who,
during the winter months, were cutting
only small numbers, are now cutting
about ten times as many. The market
is glutted. Carnations are good and the
price on them is maintained a great deal
becter than roses. Spring flowers are
coming in large numbers. Peonies in
red and pink retail well at $1 and $2
per dozen. "We still have some indoor
tulips and daffodils. Valley is in good
demand.

Beuding plants are on the move. Pan-
sies are just coming into bloom.

St. Paul.

L. L. May & Co. had considerable
work the past week for the funeral of
J. A. Wheelock, the pioneer newspaper
editor in the northwest. One of the
most attractive pieces was an immense
standing wreath made of Bridesmaids,
lily of the valley and adiantum.

Orders for Decoration day have al-
ready started to come nicely and the
prospects are for a good business.

E. P. Lemke says business has been
very fair, the demand being mostly for
funeral work. He is handling large
quantities of potted plants and is im-
proving his greenhouses, tearing down
some old houses and putting up new
ones.

Otto Hiersekorn is making quite a dis-
play of potted pi-.nts and says business
is fair.

Minneapolis.

Carl Johansen, of the Powers Mer-
cantile Co., says business has been very
good, Saturday being an especially
heavy day. He is selling a great many
carnations at 50 cents and 60 cents a
dozen, and is also handling a great
many small potted plants. He reports
^ good seed trade and has been able to
practically clean up his heavy stock of
seeds and bulbs.

James Soudan, of the Donaldson
Glass Block, says trade has been very
good, and is somewhat surprised at the
manner it has kept up.

Balph Latham is doing a good busi-
ness. Sam Atlee, formerly at the Don-
aldson Glass Block store, is now with
him, and as they are both competent
florists and control considerable patron-
age, they should do well.

Eice Bros, are handling considerable
stock. Their shipping trade has grown
to large proportions. Felix.

supply of Maids, Brides, etc, Carnations, Violets,

SOUTHERN FLORISTS-
ATTENTION!

The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety has issued a call for a meeting
May 22, at Chattanooga, Tenn., of all
the florists of the south, for the purpose
of organizing a society of southern flo-
rists. The railroads have granted re-
duced rates and the Chamber of Com-
merce of Chattanooga has offered its
hall under the Read hotel free for the
use of the florists. The originators of
the plan have received such a number
of encouraging letters that they look
forward to a very successful start. The
object of the organization is to bring
about a closer communication and per-
sonal acquaintance between the florists
of the south, to hold annual conventions
for this purpose, combined with trade
exhibits and reading of papers on sub-
jects of interest to the trade.

New Orleans will send a strong dele-
gation, armed with a still stronger list of
applications for membership. Invitation
is hereby extended to all southern flo-
rists to attend the meeting at Chatta-

PACIFIC COAST.

HARRISII IN CALIFORNIA.

The experiments in growing Lilium
Harrisii in California have progressed
far enough to show that the bulbs pass
the winter safely in the open, and, even
more important, that they hold their
vitality during the dry summer without
irrigation. It has also been demon-
strated that bulbs can be produced
economically from seed. The seed sup-
plied to the experimenters by the Agri-
cultural Department at Washington from
the improved form resulting from Mr.
Oliver's crossings germinated as freely
and evenly as that of the commonest an-
nual.

From what we have seen we believe it
will not be many years before California
will be in a position to supply all the
bulbs of the "Easter lily" required by
the American trade. And the fact that
the growers are starting with seedlings
from a selected strain and in virgin soil
seems to preclude any possibility of dis-
ease getting into the stock.

The most disturbing factor in the sit-
uation is the California gopher. He is
fond of the bulbs and has an insatiable
appetite. But no doubt means will be
found to keep him in check. Though
fond of the lilies, the bulbs of the nar-
cissus are not to his taste and he does
not trouble them.

There seems to be absolutely no rea-
son why all the bulbs of the narcissus
family required by the American trade
should not be produced in California.
It is merely a question of growing the
sorts most in demand in a suflSciently
wholesale way. As the winter rains are
generally over by May, and sometimes
earlier, the bulbs ripen very early in the
summer, which would make early deliv-
ery of well ripened bulbs possible.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Business Situation.

There is no change in the situation of
the florists' business in San Francisco
and vicinity, except that some of the

wholesale dealers have been making ex-
traordinary efforts to dispose of their
wasting stock by shipping it to interior
towns and in a few cases, by reducing
the prices considerably, they have in-
duced retail dealers in other cities to
become regular customers. The retail
dealers report everything at a standstill.
Every one is waiting for something to
be done — no one seems to have any
ready cash. The savings banks are not
yet ready for business and the insur-
ance companies have paid no losses to
date. This will probably be arranged
in a few days and the public at least
will have some spending money.

None of the dealers has put up any
improvements in the burned district.
Other lines of trade have erected tem-
porary wooden buildings on the ashes of
the destroyed ones and from appearances
of the last few days, there will be a
great quantity of frame structures dotted
over the ruined^ area very shortly.

One difficulty that has kept the deal-
ers from going ahead is the uncertainty
of where the best retail district is to
be situated. Fillmore street at the pres-

ent time is the center of activity of
the town, being just outside the burned
district. Bents in this locality have ad-
vanced about 400 per cent and the flower
sellers have not settled there as yet.
Whether the trade will remain there for
any length of time, or whether it will
gradually edge down-town again, is not
possible to say at this time. It is cer-
tain that if the large retail dealers in
dry goods and other commodities re-
build even temporary quarters on their
old sites, that business will follow them
and the florists will get their share, but
with the utter demoralization of every-
thing in the retail business way, the
public has absolutely no time to think of
flowers, and nine-tenths of them will
have no ready cash until the savings
banks resume business, probably about
the first of June.

The relief work has been a stupendous
undertaking and has been carried along
in a wonderfully successful manner, but
this does nothing to put money in circu-
lation and only the commencement of
payments by the insurance companies
and the opening of the savings banks
will put the public in the humor of buy-
ing flowers. The former will distribute
probably over $100,000,000, and the
banks have over five times that amount
on deposit, so that there should be no
shortage of funds in the near future.

San Francisco has lost probably 150,-
000 people. Many will come back to
town as soon as there are accommoda-
tions, but on the other hand a majority
of our wealthy residents have rented
their houses for the summer and de-
parted for the various country watering
places.

Over in Oakland business has been at
a standstill except for a fair amount
of funeral work, all of which is very
acceptable at this time. The town is
overrun with peddlers selling carnations,
roses and peas at ridiculous prices, but
as a few cents is all that is necessary
to purchase a big basket of stock, the
sales, no matter at what price, are al-
most clear profit.

Both Oakland and San Francisco have
always enjoyed a good Memorial day
trade, both locally and for shipment,
and t believe that there will be quan-
tities of flowers handled again this sea-
sou. This has been a very favorable
spring for all kinds of outdoor stock
and the prices will of course be very
low.

I have heard within the last few days
that jsome of the largest aster and
chrysanthemum growers will abandon
their fields until another season. This,
together with a great many carnation
and rose houses that already have been
closed up, may lessen the output to such
an extent that fair prices may prevail
in the near future.

An enterprising wholesale grower in

He is keeping several houses in order
for business that may come later in the

ing his entire crop of flowers to his
cows. They are probably the best fed
animals in America. He cuts about $25
worth of flowers every day and feeds
these regularly to his four cows in addi-

highly. Can anyone beat this? G.

Dallas, Texas, June 13-15, 1906.

"Visited Chicago: — F. W. Mayer, of
the Gulf Coast Nursery, Alvin, Tex.

Western New York nurserymen re-
port generally a better clean-up than in
any recent season.

The imports of trees and plants at
the port of New York last week had an
invoice value of $13,401.

J. M. Hall, employed in the McCart
& Anderson Nursery, Fort Worth, Tex.,
dropped dead while at work May 10.

The Aurora Nursery Co., Aurora, 111.,
has opened a down-town office, in the
Mercantile block, corner Fox and Broad-
way.

The growers of apple seedlings,
though some of them complain of low
prices, are nevertheless again increasing
the production.

If you have a couple of cars of plum
trees you didn't need for spring orders,
you are no exception to the rule among
wholesale nurserymen.

St. Xavier's Academy, Fiftieth
street and Evans avenue, Chicago, has
acquired the city block on which its
buildings face and will create a park.

The Boston Peony Exhibition will be
keld about June 15. The date is not
definitely decided upon by the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society, but will
be announced soon.

The season 's business with the nur-
serymen at Albert Lea, Minn., will foot
up $40,000, and the editor of the local
paper congratulates the town that most
of the money stays in town, the principal
expense being the payroll.

Conventions usually swing like a
pendulum, from one side to the other.
With this year's meeting of the Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen in the
south, there is already a strong move-
ment on foot to take it to the Charle-
voix districl; in Michigan next year.

Possibly no state nursery law is more
arbitrary, discriminating or interpreted
in a way to exasperate outside nursery-
men than is the law of Oklahoma ter-
ritory, where trade is booming. A local
judge at Guthrie has now declared the
Oklahoma law unconstitutional and con-
ditions are in a fair way to be remedied.

The West Michigan Nurseries. Benton
Harbor, Mich., say: "We advocate
strongly the cutting back of nursery stock
very severely at the time it is planted
out in the orchards. Our directions to
our customers are to cut the entire tip
of tree out, so as to leave but about
three or four branches, and that these
branches that are left should be cut back
to within one or two buds of the trunk
of the tree. We do not advocate the se-
vere root pruning any" more than to cut
out any bruised roots that may be found
on the tree. ' '

W. A. Peterson, Chicago, reports his
safe arrival at Plymouth, England, on
the Amerika. He goes first to France
to see the peonies in bloom, and will
spend four months in Europe.

William J. Clark, of the Grand
Rapids Nursery Co., Grand Rapids,
Mich., says the orders from Oceana this
season have exceeded in number those of
any other county in the state. This is
largely due to the number of Chicago
people who are buying land and em-
barking in fruit growing as a means of
livelihood to escape from the confinement
of the city. Oceana county is peculiarly
adapted to peaches and already the or-
chards of some of the best growers in
the state are located there. The county
is just in process of development and
the orchards, all new, are free from dis-
ease. Ottawa county, along the la"ke
shore, is just embarking in fruit growing
and large deliveries of trees are made
from Holland.

ALBERTSON'S ACTIVITIES.

E. Albertson, president of the Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen, spent
Saturday in Chicago, appearing before
the Central Passenger Association in an
endeavor to get a rate for next month's
convention at Dallas, and stirring up
interest to get a good local delegation.

Mr. Albertson is one of those rapid-
fire presidents, like the one at Washing-
ton, whose activities are bewildering to
less alert minds; he gets it done while
the other fellow is thinking about it.
A case in point was his successful prose-
cution of the work on freight classifica-
tion. When he and the transportation
committee had just begun to get busy
they were told that the association was
without funds to carry on the work.
Mr. Albertson had been so intent on

the result that he had overlooked the
means; but he thought he knew where
to get the wherewithal. He sent out a
circular stating the urgency of the case
and got all the money he needed. One
of the estimable gentlemen of the think-
it-over school wrote : "Of course you
referred your circular to the executive
committee for approval!" "No, I re-
ferred it to the trade and have $800 of
O. K. on it, ' ' replied Mr. Albertson, and
a few weeks later the transportation
committee was able to announce changes
in classification which will save the trade
$50,000 a year in freight charges.

One of Mr. Albertson 's recommenda-
tions to the association at Dallas will be
tliat a salaried office be created, to be
filled by an all-around, thoroughly posted
nurseryman, whose duty it shall be to
watch the trade's many interests with
railroads, state legislatures, congress,,
etc., giving it time the committeemen
cannot afford from their own business.
The changes in freight classification,,
which cost the trade $150,000 during
the three years they were in force, Avere
six months pending before classification
committees before they were adopted ;
nobody protested because nobody knew
what was proposed.

If the Dallas meeting is the "best
ever, ' ' Mr. Albertson will retire from
office with content. Prospects are good,
A rate of $20 round-trip from St. Louis
has now been granted. A car from
Rochester is assured. It will be a spe-
cie.! train from some point of consoli-
dation in Missouri.

The membership is growing. The
president thinks it should be 1,000.
Membership fees are about the only
source of revenue. The badge book will
be closed up about May 22. Mr. Albert-
son urges that names be sent Secretary
Geo. C. Seager, Rochester, at once.

ROCK ISLAND, ILL.

The Tri-City Florists' Club met in
Turner hall May 10 for a regular busi-
ness meeting. The topic for discussion
was "Rose Culture." in which the treat-
ment of roses outdoors and under glass
was taken up. Harry Bills was the
leader of the discussion.

The picnic of the club will be held
July 19. The place has not yet been de-
cided upon, but it will probably be at
the Watch Tower. Emil Boehm, Wm.
Knees and Henry Gaetbje are the com-
mittee in charge.

June 7, the association will meet at
the home of "William Knees, in Moline.
A celebration will be held at the time
and a ceremony of laying a corner stone
for a new range of greenhouses, which
Mr. Knees will build, will be gone
through with.

A special meeting will be held in the
latter part of June at the Davenport
nursery on east Locust street. H. G.
Bryant and Theodore Ewoldt will en-
tertain the association at this meeting,
•which will be in the form of a straw-
berry social.

Myeksdale, Pa. — The Collins green-

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

May 17. 1906.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

Outdoor stock is growing nicely, but
the damp, disagreeable weather is pro-
ducing a large crop of cut worms, which
are doing their best to eat up all manner
of plant life. Our carnations in the field
are not being bothered as yet, which I
attribute to not using any stable manure.
My plan was to scatter equal parts of
lime and wood ashes over my ground.
Where manure was used the worms are
eating everything, and where my lime
and ashes were scattered the worms have
not as yet made their appearance. Even
the greenhouses are full of worms, keep-
ing us up nights picking them off. Mums
are not yet planted, but are looking fine
and will be soon ready for the benches.

The inclement weather is keeping peo-
ple indoors, or in storm caves, and plant-
ing out is postponed. Trade has dropped
off considerably for that reason, and
only a cessation of rain will revive it.
Business, people tell me who have been
here for years, has increased over forty
per cent this year. Prices are as good
as they have been since Easter, with the
demand equal to the supply. Roses out-
' doors are in full bloom and are bring-
ing good prices. Stocks are the stand-
ard flower for funeral work. Sweet peas
are in bloom, also peonies, which will
soon be gone. Landscape work is over,
the hot weather forcing everything into
■ growth. Narcissus.

MUNCIE, IND.

Mrs. Miller will remodel the old Ken-
dall place, also put up additional glass.

The Muncie Floral Co. had the decora-
tion at the Auditorium for Nordica.

The prizes offered by the Civic Art
Association and the Muncie Floral Co.
are creating a great demand for plants,
principally for veranda boxes. The $60
for the best veranda boxes offered by
the Floral company has been a good ad-
vertising scheme.

The cut flower trade it in a demoral-
ized condition. The wholesalers are un-
loading carnations and roses to the de-
partment stores, which sell them at 25
cents a dozen, S. H.

I CONSIDER the Review of vast im-
portance to the trade and a credit to its
publishers. — J. W. Hanford, Salisbury,

WE ARE HEADQUARTERS FOR

PRINCESS VIOLET STOCK

"PHE Princess of Wales is still the leader of all single Violets, There is no other
variety on the market that can compare with it as a commercial violet,
because it blooms from September 15 to May 1, every bloom is marketable.
It has color, it has length of stem, it has fragrance. It sells when any other
variety single or double can not be given away. The people want it. So
great is my confidence in this Violet that the following Autumn I will devote
80,000 feet of glass to the growing of this variety.

I have about 209.000 nice younu divisions now ready to ship at the
following prices: $2.00 prr 100; $16.00 per 1000: 600 at 1000 rate. Lotft
of 6000, $14.00 per 1000. Lots of 10,000, $18.00 per 1000.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

May 17, 1906.

DETROIT.

The Market

Business picked up considerably toward
the end of last week, and by Saturday
stock was pretty well cleaned up. Bul-
bous stock is about all gone. Carna-
tions are seemingly off crop, with all
growers in this vicinity. Poor stock
is bringing from $2 to $3, the retailer
being glad to get them at any fair price.
This state of affairs has tended to clean
up roses, although they were quite plen-
tiful. Brides and Maids are selling at
from $4 to $7 for good stock. Valley,
sweet peas, daisies, etc., are also good
and moving readily. Green is not over-
plentiful.

Various Notes.

Taepkes' new range is rapidly near-
ing completion.

The medical college commencement
exercises kept a number of the florists
exceedingly busy Friday. H. S.

ELBERON, N. J.

The regular meeting of the Elberon
Horticultural Society was held May 7,
President W. D. Robertson in the chair.
Two members were elected and four pro-
posed. W. H. Waite tendered his resig-
nation as secretary of the society, owing
to his leaving the district. He was
awarded a hearty vote of thanks for the
manner in which he had carried out his
duties. George Masson was then elected
secretary.

Some choice exhibits were staged. It
was decided to have a rose and straw-
berry display at the next meeting, in
June, for which prizes have already been
donated. A committee was appointed
for the purpose of planting the flower
beds in the grounds of the public school.

G. M.

Hartford, Conn. — The Hartford

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

May 17, 1906.

RED DEER, ALBERTA.

E. Michener, B. Trimble and J. Slade,
doing business as the Eed Deer Nursery
Co., have enlarged their establishment
and gone into nursery work as well.
They have ninety acres of fine land, ly-
ing high and dry, and, although fruits
have never been grown here, they are
putting in a range of fruits to test them
and also as an experiment to find out
what will grow in this district. They
are setting out two acres of strawber-
ries, two of raspberries and two of cur-
rants and gooseberries, and also apples
and plums. A large trial ground for
vegetables, seeds and perennials will be
established.

MILWAUKEE.

The Milwaukee Florists' Club will
give a grand May party Saturday even-
ing. May 19, at Severence hall, 421 Mil-
waukee street. Messrs. Currie, Hunkel
and Zimmerman, of the entertainment
committee, promise a good time. Every-
body is requested to bring all the Queens
along, as the customary crown will be
bestowed on the handsomest and most
graceful lady in the hall. Able judges
have been secured. Incog.

Chester, Pa. — On the night of May
6 thieves broke into C. P. Miller's green-
houses and took the cash from the
drawer in the office.

Martinsville, Ind. — Last season
Nixon H. Gano had such good results
with a couple of benches of carnations
planted from pots that he is now busy
filling his entire space for carnations
with thrifty young stock from pots.

Alvin, Tex. — C. "W. Benson says he
is confident that the crop of cape jas-
mine buds for Memorial day will be a
quarter of a million short of the quan-
tity available for the demand in 1905.
Other shippers liold a contrary view.

The Market.

One week has tlianged conditions in
tl\e wliolesale liouses. Lilies, which were
a glut, have almost disappeared; carna-
tions are short of the demand; smilax is
very scare; however, roses more than
make /-T>}) tl)e shortage in other
stockf as they are coming in quantities
thay have been appalling. Business was
oifTy ordinary up to Saturday, when de-
mand took a spurt and everyone was
cleaned out by night. Some local lilac
came in last week, but was not very
good. Violets are finished for the sea-
son.

Retailers were jogging along in a
leisurely way; no excitement of any
kind, and report trade about the same
as last year at this time, although they
have good orders booked for weddings,

Various Notes.

Growers have been busy planting out
carnations. Most of them have com-
pleted the task and are praying for
rain, as the continued high wind and
several hot days have made things look
quite dry in the carnation fields. Plant-
ing was a little later than last season,
but many of them were caught in the
freeze last year and arranged to miss it
this season.

Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Elliott, who have
been at Los Angeles for more than a
year, returned last Friday. Ben does
not know whether it is for a visit or.
permanent. If he gets into something
good he will remain here.

Henry Ludwig returned Monday from
a trip to Canada, where he has been ar-
ranging for camping grounds for the
club of which he is a member.

\ Hoo-Hoo.

William E. Watson, aged 38, formerly
a florist in this city, died May 8 at El
Paso, Tex., where he had been spending
the winter. Death was due to pulmon-
ary trouble, with which Mr. Watson had
been afflicted for several years. Mr.
Watson Avas born in the Squirrel Hill
district of this city and several years
ago was engaged in the florist business
on Smithneld street. Owing to failing
health he spent most of his time at dif-
ferent resorts and watering places. The
body was brought home for burial.

MADISON, N. J.

An unusually large number of the
JNIorris Co. Gardeners' and Florists' So-
ciety assembled in their meeting rooms
in Madison on May 11 to listen to a
paper on hardy shrubs, by Arthur Her-
rington, superintendent of Florham
parks. Like all of Mr. Herriilgton 's
works, it was of high order, and was well
received by the society. As is the cus-
tom, considerable time was given to
after-discussion. Many questions regard-
ing selection of sorts, hardiness of new
kinds, etc., were asked bj the members
and cheerfully answered by the speaker.
A very striking feature was the large
number of Japanese species and hybrids
to be seen, this being the occasion of
the regular monthly show, Avhich was
hardy shrubs in flower this time. The
room was literally filled. Mr. Herring-
ton, alone, put up thirty-six species and
varieties, which Avas a remarkable thing
for this time of yjar. E. E.

go to the establishment of H. ^leyer, at
Eock Island, where he is employed. An
hour or so later he was found wandering
in a dazed condition and soon became
unconscious. When he recovered at St.
Luke's hospital he was unable to recall
how he received a severe cut on the side
of his face.

of the same, must be possessed with good judgment and are generally suc-

Cypress Material

Possibly you have heard of C'ypress material
that failed to last.

Such Cypress invariably is furnished by par-
ties who have no knowledge of the pecu-
liar requirements of greenhouse material.

We have made greenhouse construction a spe-
cial study.

Our lumber is selected with the greatest of
care, our material is guaranteed perfect
and strictly up-to-date.

Put a piece of steel in the ground and it rusts faster "than wrought
Put a wrought iron pipe as a support or post, and it eats itself
away at the ground line. Now try a cast-iron foot piece aiiiJ it simply

Avrought iron.

everything that goes into our houses. The hard
headed sense, the experience upon which all our
reasons are founded.
