The Weekly Florists' Review^ r^ y<*^' THE RETAIL FLORIST \ i FLOWERS FROM LODGES. , In a majority of tHe florists' clubs throughout the country it is the prac- tice to send a design to the funeral of each member who dies. In some cases, the character of the design is left to the man who makes the piece, but a number of organizations h"ave adopted a stand- ard design, which is recognized as rep- resentative of the club. The design adopted by the Kentucky Society of Florists is shown in tlie accompanying illustration. It is a wreath on an easel. The wreath is composed of gala^ leaves, with carnations and valley. A similar piece is sent each time there is a death in the club membership. One of the peculiar features of the plan adopted by this society is in rela- tion to who is to make the design. The florist is not expected to donate any- thing, and it is the rule to follow the membership list in order to tell who is to do the work. The first time after the rule was adopted the work went to the first named on the alphabetical mem- bership list. It ' had progressed as far as the name of Jacob Schulz in the pres- ent instance. Many retail florists have achieved repu- tations as "joiners" simply for the advantage which lodge membership gives by gaining a Avide acquaintance. Those who are lodge members often can get it arranged so that they have authority to send a designated floral tribute, rec- ognized as representing the lodge, every time a member dies, without special ac- tion at a stated meeting. FUNERAL VORK. Notes on Set Pieces. Continuing the discussion of the spe- cial features of set pieces, as certain designs are called, others besides those mentioned last week, the anchor, open book and broken column, have points which the design-maker must observe if his work is to be really first-class. It never should be lost sight of that one of the most important things in making a design is to always make the outline first, thereby assuring good shape. When it is possible to do so, it is always a good plan to use some small flower as an edging. Crescent and Star. A well made star and crescent is one of the prettiest of designs. The crescent can be trimmed in any one of many dif- ferent ways. See that it tapers nicely to the points. The star should be made of some small flower, if possible. Often I have taken a carnation to pieces and used some of the petals. The star should not be too large. The Cross. A well made cross also makes a fine floral design. Often we find one not well proportioned ; this, of course, is the fault of the wire man, but the florist gets the blame, and deserves it, if he lets it get by him. In a correctly proportioned cross, each cross arm and the top arm should be just one-half the length of the lower part, but if the three top arms are of equal length the lower part can be a little longer without looking bad; in fact, in some cases it makes a better ap- pearance— for instance, in the ease of a flat casket cross. When making up a cross see that you have neat, square cor- ners and that the arms are in line. In the case of a cross with a slanting bar, the bar should always slant upwards from left to right. The Ctx>wn. A crown is by no means one of the easiest designs to make. In the first place, you must be careful when filling or mossing the design to ^ crown of flowers, be sure you get a good price for the work, as you will use many flowers and much time. Cross and Crown. The cross and crown is not as common as some other designs, but nevertheless it makes a nice piece. The cross is the same as any cross. The crown can be fastened at either the point where the arms cross, or about halfway down on the lower part. The crown must be made up carefully, so as not to lose shape. You can use carnations for mak- ing the crown. A good plan is to take the carnation to pieces, or rather divide one carnation into several parts to form the points of the crown. In other words, use only part of one carnation wired to a toothpick in making the points. Broken Wheel. As in many other designs of a like nature, there is little chance for orna- mentation on a wheel. Some dainty lit- tle flower radiating from the hub toward the rim always adds to the appearance of the piece. Then the rim can be trimmed prettily. A flower of different color stuck in the end of the hub sets that part of the design off. When a broken wheel is fastened to an easel, in- stead of standing on a base, see that none of the spokes is perfectly perpen- diciriar or horizontal, as this looks bad. • * i:^' ,*^ ^ -Ik ^V , ^O^ Design Adopted by the Kentucky Society of Florists. carry out the nice lines of the piece.

In case you do not make the gates solid, then a nice spray of green in each gate will add to the appearance. The t^rp.

First place a few lilies or open roses at. the lower corner of the piece and then insert some loose flowers between the larger ones. Some florists have the strings bronzed by the wire man, but in my opinion they should be covered with chenille to match. There should not be too many strings and some people give a different and, I think, wrong meaning to the piece by showing some of the strings to be broken. With the lyre it is about the same as with the harp. The strings should be nicely covered with chenille. Some flow- ers arranged in the lower part of the lyre proper, to take away the bareness, will add much to the effect. The Heart. You may not be called upon to make a heart as often as some other design, but a small heart is a pretty piece for a child's funeral. In making up a heart be careful at the top, where the flowers meet, that you do not crowd them; oth- erwise your design will not have a good shape. Also see that you run to a nice point at the lower end. Maltese G-oss. In making up a maltese cross the wire man should not make the arms too wide in the center or the piece will look crowded when finished. You must also be careful to kee^Ktne flowers well in at this point. See to it that the corners of each arm are as sharp as it is possible to make them. Hugo Schroetee. AuBUEN, Ind. — C. M.

The larger wagon represented a landscape effect, with a carpet bed with lettering " U. T. C, " the two wagons making a very cred- itable display. When asked if the effort paid in a business way, C. P. Dudley said: "Yes, it did. At the end of the parade we invited everyone to help themselves to the flowers. This was promptly accepted and in less than three minutes each float was stripped of every flower and plant. We found this only to be an appetizer, like a newsboy "we have in mind, who went through his train and dropped a couple of peanuts in each seat, later passing through the car calling out, 'Hot roasted peanuts, 5 cents a bag,' and doing a big business. Those who were not lucky in the grab of course had to purchase." AZALEAS AT GHENT. At the recent centenary exhibition at Ghent, Indian azaleas were ' shown as they can be shown nowhere else in the world. There were many hundreds of plants, some of great size, all arranged most attractively — not a pot showed. One important class was to illustrate the sev- eral styles of training, and one of the most noteworthy classes was that for a collection of fifty plants cultivated as espaliers (fan-shaped), and the premier award, consisting of a gold medal, was made, with the felicitations of the jury, to A. Haerens, Somergem, who had finer examples of this style of training than those included in his group arranged for effect. The plants ranged from two to three feet across, and were finely flowered on both sides. These examples, by reason of their novelty, attracted much attention from those of the English visitors who are interested in greenhouse plants. The varieties were much the same as those represented in the round- headed plants of the usual type, and it would therefore appear that all the finest varieties are suitable for this style of training. L. Van Houtte Fere, Ghent, was a good ^cond with well developed pl§.nts, but with flowers on one side only. Pyramidal trained plants were of great excellence, and the class for twenty- five specimens was a remarkably strong one. Sander & Sons won the work of art offered as the premier award. The plants were about three, feet high, finely proportioned, and superbly flowered. In the class for 100 pyramids, Victor van de Weghe, Loochristy, was successful in obtaining premier honors, and the award of a gold medal was well merited. Of considerable excellence also were the fif- ty pyramids for which J. De Puysselyre was awarded a gold medal. The number of plants called for in these classes will give an idea of the 'extent of the dis- play of the commoner round-headed plants. • „ J. W.

DISEASED GERANIUMS. /^ T send you by express today a pack- l age containing some geraniums. Please ^--try to tell me what is wrong with them, r\ had the same trouble last year and ^st hundreds of plants. The disease /^does not appear until this time Of the year, when the stock should be ready to sell. It begins at the edges oi; the leaves, as you see by the samples, and continues until the whole plant is yellow. I have tried all kinds of soil, with or without manure, bone meal, etc. Have tried some of them in a warm house and kept some cool. I have also held them on the dry side and some of them wet. I sent some of them to the Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C^ last year. They never saw or heard of such a thing. I had them at our Flo- rists' Club and they were discussed by the members, to no avail. There is nothing that I have not done or tried as to treatment, or to discover any care- lessness on my part that might cause it. I have been growing geraniums for years and last year the disease made its first appearance. When planted out it makes the finest kind of a plant and does not show the disease. I have re- ceived so much 'valuable irformation through the Review and you have helped others so much, that I now call upon you to see what can be done. G. J. L. , I have not before seen or known of any such trouble as this correspondent has. It would appear that he has tried about every mode of culture possible to combat the disease and it is difficult to make any suggestions which may help him. The trouble may be a new one, but I think it can be overcome if he will but discard his present stock and start in with new blood. Perhaps this may have been done. If not, I would cer- tainly try it. Desperate diseases re- quire desperate remedies and it will be much better to make a clean start again. It is just possible that the soil may be at fault. Why not send a sample to the chemistry department of the State Agricultural College? Tell them of your trouble and perhaps they can help you. The geranium is, generally speaking, one of the easiest of plants to grow and flower, but many growers have no end of trouble with fungoid attacks on the foliage each year. Your plants are differently affected, and I think that either your stock has become debilitated or there is some element in the soil which causes the yellowing of the foliage. I hope that if any other Review readers have been afflicted in the same way as G. J. L., and can suggest any remedy, they will come to his aid. C. W. West Chester, Pa. — George M. Huey spent a week recently in Atlantic City, N. J. ASSESSMENTS ON STOCK. Will you kindly let me know through the Review if there is any taxation on plants in or out of the greenhouse!

L. A. G. Usually an assessor or board of review can be made to take a reasonable view of assessments against greenhouse prop- erty and the growing stock, if the matter is presented to them in the right light and without the use of strong language. If any reader knows of a case in which a court has passed upon the question in- volved, the Review will be pleased to hear of it. PLANTING BULBS WITH MACHINE. I never have planted a tulip or nar- cissus bulb bottom side up, so do not know what it would do. I have many thousands of bulbs, tulips and narcissi, to plant this coming fall and could fix my potato planter to plant with, if the position in which the bulbs were planted made no difference. Would it do any great harm if the bulbs happened to fall in the furrow bottom up or on their sides? L. S. S. The narcissi and tulips will come up, even if planted on their sides or bottom 12 / The Wcddy Florists' Review. May 21, 1908. J upward. They will, be later-, however, than those properly planted. Both foliage and flowers will have a longer journey to reach the surface and can hardly be expected to bloom so early and evenly, or to be of as fine a quality as if set in the regulation manner. I would cer- tainly not try the potato planting plan. Dropping by hand will take longer, but will give you much more satisfaction in the end. _W. N. C, SOOT AS FERTILIZER. I note the answer to A.

Now, I want to know the value of carbon as a fer- "tilizer, that which is found in the bot- tom of large chimneys where there is a large range of boilers using soft coal. Would you call this soot? G. B. B. What you call carbon is usually known as soot. . That of a black color com- ing from soft coal is of the greatest value. The light-colored substance is less valuable as a fertilizer, but should not be thrown away. Spread it on any of your land. If cutworms or wireworms bother you, it makes a valuable preven- tive if dusted over and around the plants. It is helpful if spread on lawns and you cannot go far wrong in spreading it broadcast among any of your crops. Good black soot is an excellent fertil- izer for greenhouse plants, making the foliage of a dark, lustrous green color. C.

With many florists the volume of busi- ness done at Memorial day far exceeds the sales at Easter. This is not at all surprising. On May 30 practically every family remembers to decorate in some way the graves of those whom they have loved and lost. Started with the object of decorating in a moderate way the last resting places of that noble army who saved the Union, the fast diminishing re- mainder of which must soon pass to the great beyond, it has far outgrown the idea of those who gave the movement birth. It would seem that every year the volume of business is heavier and, in spite of depressed conditions, we fully anticipate a heavier call this year than ever before. The wide temperature fluctuations which are usually characteristic of May will make it necessary for growers to exercise considerable care in order to time their crops correctly. Such useful staples as Spiraea Japonica, ten weeks' stocks, snapdragons, candytuft, feverfew, marguerites, gladioli, Spanish iris and lilies, all of which will be under glass, come on rapidly now and, as the blooms start to expand, should be grown cool. Some shade on the glass will lower the temperature and preserve the flowers. White flowers, while they will sell for Memorial day, do not bring as remunera- tive prices as colored ones; scarlet and pink shades in carnations, roses, tulips and other seasonable flowers are always snapped up quickly. With many of these flowers it will be better to cut and place them in large jars of water in a cold room or cellar, where they will last much better than on the plants. In addition to cut flowers, which in the fottns of bouquets and wreaths of mod- erate price are always in heavy call, many customers will purchase geraniums, pan- sies, forget-me-nots, daisies and other bedding plants. If these are in small baskets or flats, which can be readily handled, they will sell all the better. The bedding plant season in the northern states may be said to fairly commence with Memorial day, and growers should place their best bloomed and most salable plants in batches arranged so as to take the eyes of any prospective purchasers. Hydrangeas, nicely flowered, are good sellers at this time. Be sure they are well soaked with water, and always in- struct those purchasing them to water liberally. •. Bedding Out. While we may still have a few cool' nights, and the possibility of light freez- ings are to be reckoned with, there are many who will want their flower beds planted before Memorial day. If your stock has been well hardened there is no reason why such plants as geraniums, verbenas, Drummond 's phlox, lobelias and the like, cannot be set out with safety. A few points to be remembered in bed- ding out are these: Beds and borders should be well spaded over and enriched with rotted manure, except in the case of geraniums, which want a rather poorer soil, heavy manuring promoting too much rank leaf-growth. Unless you have some fanciful * carpeting design you wish to work out, where it may be necessary to raise the soil in the beds, keep the sur- face level. It may not look so well at first, but the benefits will manifest themselves as the warm weather arrives. When rains come they will soak the beds evenly, which is not the case when they are a foot higher at the center than the* sides. Be sure all plants are wet at the root before planting. He who sets out bedding stock with dust dry balls, and figures on a soaking from the hose or the skies giving them a good start, deserves to make failures. Always firm the ground thoroughly around each plant. Leave the surface soil loose, and try to keep it in that condition if you want to see the stock grow fast. Avoid Messy Mixtures. In bedding out we still see many at- tempts to get as many varieties an.d colors in one bed as possible. Ii is satisfactory to know that this practice is being gradually improved upon. With the constant decline in carpet bedding, in which variations in color are a necessity, and the adoption of more natural plant- ing, the tendency is to use either solid individual colors to each bed or an edging of some other color for contrast. We prefer as much as possible to have each bed a separate color. The effect is far better and more satisfying. Particularly is this true of those popular flowering plants, cannas and geraniums. Do not - use reds and pinks together or the con- trast will be the reverse of pleasing. With cannas, a bed of scarlet edged with yellow looks well and the colors reversed are equally good, but a solid bed of Florence Vaughan or Bouvier is better than either arrangement. . : • _, Plants for Shady Locations. Fuchsias do not flower here with the persistency and freedom characteristic of them in Europe. There they are features in many of the parks and gardens. Here, to succeed at all, a position with partial shade is a necessity. Tuberous begonias are splendid bedders v if they can have some shade. They ^ like rich soil and if mulched with fine manure in summer they are splendid sub- jects. Many of the winter blooming fibrous-rooted begonias are also good, if they can be broken from midday sun, and bloom remarkably well. Under the shade of trees the showy Rex begonias will grow luxuriantly, provided the water supply is good. Such fibrous begonias as La Vesuve or Vesuvius, Erfordii and. Vernon will thrive in either sun or shade. Under the latter conditions the foliage will not take on that bronzy hue usually seen on plants exposed to the sun's full rays. Pansies and violas, which make a bril- liant show now, cannot be depended upon to flower all summer. If, however, they are well shaded, can be kept moist at the root, and seed pods are removed, they will bloom until late fall. Mixed Foliage Beds. While mixtures of flowering plants are not in good taste, beds of miscellaneous foliage plants, such as ficuSj curculigo, pandanus, grevillea, the hardier palms, cro- tons and other plants of like nature, with groundwork of English ivy, alternanthera|, santolina. Asparagus Sprengeri, varie- gated vinca and other low-growing plants are pleasing. In large beds, in addition to the plants named, musas, Dracsena indivisa, aralias, Pennisetum Euppeli- anum, cyperus, ricinus and a number of other plants are of great service. The larger plants should not be set too closely together, but should have ample space to show their full individuality, lower growing plants being used between them. Even with the foliage plants it is mucb better to keep the colored-le&ved plants in beds by themselves, although tropical mixtures of foliage plants are more tol- erable than those in flower. Persistent Flowering Annuals. An enormous quantity of annuals are used for bedding. A common query ask- ed is, what annuals can I plant which will flower all summer long? There are a few varieties which can be depended 'upon. In rather poor soil nasturtiums are hard to beat. In rich soil they make rank growth and flower sparsely. Verbenas like well enriched soil and will bloom in it from June to November. Drummond 's phlox will flower for sever- al months. Stocks and asters make a glorious show while in flower, but two or three plantings are needed to keep a bed attractive the season through. With par- \ May 21, 1908.

During sunshine the flowers close, but on dull days and evenings they are very showy. The hy- brids of N. affinis are superior to those of N. Sanderie. Dianthus Heddewigi flowers nearly all summer. Clarkias, go- detias, eschscholtzias, nemophilas, schi- zanthus and other quick growing annuals can only be depended upon to make a showing for a few weeks. Petunias are perhaps the most satisfactory of all bed- ding annuals and will flower freely all summer. Window-boxes and Vases. There is always a big demand for plants to stock window-boxes and vases. Often the florist is, also, asked to fur- nish the soil. In this case be sure to make it liberal. Put good, rotten manure in the bottom and mix thoroughly through the loam. Eemember that the small body of soil will quickly be a mass of roots, and unless it has been well prepared the plants will show the absence of food long before the season ends. In boxes and vases it is better to use one solid color, although many like the popular variegated vinca as a droop- ing plant for everything. English ivy, Kenilworth ivy. Asparagus Sprengeri and quite a variety of other green-leaved plants may also be used to good advan- tage. Dracaena indivisa msies one of the best centerpieces for vases. In palms the phoenix stands sun and wind better than any other sorts. Lata- nias will get yellow unless they have shade. Kentias will not stand heavy, thrashing winds, but in sheltered piazzas can be used to good advantage. With a moderate amount of shade the nephrol- epis will do well, also many other ferns with moderately tough fronds. Do not forget some scented plants when filling boxes or vases. Such vari- eties as heliotropes, scented geraniums and lemon verbena are universally -popu- lar. _ S^ Briei Reminders. Another planting of gladioli in the open will now be seasonable. Use the cultivator among the early batches. Apply a mulching of strawy manure to sweet peas. This will help to. keep the roots moist and prolong the flowering season. Be sure you reserve an ample stock of all bedding plants for your own use, and do not let them be the poorest left- overs. Keep the cyclamens constantly stirred. In June remove them to a coldf rame. Do not allow them to become potbound. Pot along seedlings of gloxinias and tuberous begonias wanted for late sum- mer blooming. 'You can still put in some chrysanthe- mum cuttings. They will root fully as well in a coldframe as a greenhouse now. These and all other cuttings need fre- quent wettings overhead now the tempera- ture is so much higher. Plaut out any early asters, stocks and other annuals being grown for cutting. Keep the carnations, violets and per- ennial plants well hoed. The more you hoe, the faster they will grow. Gradually harden off tender plants, such as cannas, coleus, crotons and al- ternanthera. Do not plant them out before June. Propagate antirrhinums now if you want strong plant's to flower next Christ- mas. Look out for cutworms. Poison them with bran, powdered sugar and Paris green well mixed. The time, to prune deciduous shrubs is not now, but after they have done bloom- ing. Look out for aphis on roses, euonymus, hawthorns and other outdoor stock. Do not leave empty flftwer pots lying on or under the benches. As you sell your bedding plants, stack the pots away. It means fewer breakages and a much neater place. Jot down the names of bulbs, peren- nials and shrubs which you think will be useful for your future Memorial d^y trade. Lily of the valley is a useful hardy plant. It prefers a little shade, but grows well in sun if the ground is rich and deep. If you are short of it, plan to set out a few rows next November. Keep potting off the little Lorraine begonias as they root. Do not become discouraged at the slow growth they make at this season. HOUSE OF FORMOSA LILIES. The trade is much interested in the longiflorum lily bulbs from the Island of Formosa and welcomes this new source of supply. for its pi>omise of true stock. Because of this, the accompanying illus- tration is noteworthy. It is from a photograph supplied by H. F. Michell Co., Philadelphia, and shows a house at the establishment of Emil Lieker, a well- known forcer of Easter lilies at Lans- downe, Delaware county, Pennsylvania, to whom the Michell Co. furnished a quantity of the bulbs of the 1907 crop in Formosa. The photograph was taken April 7, 1908, and shows how well and evenly the stock had flowered. Mr. Liek- er is a skillful grower, accustomed to good results, but he says this was as satisfactory a house of lilies as he ever flowered. Last year the importations from For- mosa consisted of only a few hundreds of cases, but this year the crop will amount to several thousand cases. The Formosa lily flowers in the month of February on its native island, or about two months earlier than the Bermuda lily. The bulbs are thoroughly ripened by the end of May, when shipments com- mence, which are expected to reach the ■•i -> ^_..:_^^£. ■:*'. • -» ' .!..._ .->, i - M The Weekly Florists^ Review* May 21, 1908. importers at the end of July or the first part of August. The long rest the bulbs have until they can be potted is decided- ly in their favor. The Formosa lilies should not be forced as hard as Harrisii, otherwise they grow too tall. TEMPERATURE f6r GREENS. This is to settle a dispute on the tem- perature for growing smilax and As- paragus plumosus. Can these be grown in a solid bench in a greenhouse where the temperature in the winter is some- times 48 degrees for two or three weeks at a time and never over 52 degrees in the winter? What ie the proper tem- perature to grow them in ? G. K. Asparagus plumosus and smilax can be grown in a solid bed at the tem- perature mentioned by G. K. However^ this is decidedly too cool to obtain best results. Our experience tells us that these greens thrive best in a night tem- perature of 58 to 60 degrees, allowing it to run up to 70 degrees in the day- time. • \lbert F. Amlinq. THE PLANTING SEASON. Operation Must Not Be Delayed. As the planting season approaches, we should see that everything is in order so that no time may be lost between throw- ' ing out the old stock and replanting with ^- the new. Every day lost at this opera- tion means a shortening of the growing season, and the growing period given to roses, as at present practiced, is short enough, usually dating from sometime in June up till October, when the young bushes are supposed to be able' to bear a crop. This is a brief time in which to develop a good, thrifty bush. Rose grow- ers are every year realizing the fact that houses which are planted in May or early in June produce the heaviest crops and that the cut is superior in quality to that from stock planted later. Where a system of record-keeping is practiced, this statement is easily verified. Accompanying the actual work of emp- tying and refilling the benches there is aJways the more or less disagreeable and tardy work of repairing the benches. This work is always rather disagreeable to the ordinary greenhouse man, as he is not accustomed to it. It is- tardy be- cause, when we begin repairing, there is usually a good deal more to be done than is apparent at first sight ; in fact, it ' often takes longer to repair an old bench than to build a new one. Having all materials at hand and tools in good repair will make the work more pleasant and satisfactory. The old fashion of expecting the or- dinary help to complete the work of .:. . emptying and refilling is happily disap- pearing. The work of the greenhouse during the rest of the season unfits the ordinary help for this class of labor and, indeed, without calling on them for ex- tra time it is impossible for them under such coiiditions to attend properly to their ordinary duties, and extra time during hot weather, and especially under 'i, ■■f■^ ■■V*-,'- ' ' . it., glass, is enervating and no doubt tends to keep many a bright and capable man from devoting his life to the study of the "genteel craft." Progressive employers nowadays are fully alive to the fact that it is more profitable to engage suflScient extra help to perform the heaviest part of the work and to have it done as expeditiously as possible and that the ordinary man can tire his muscles and brain sufficiently in a 10-hour day. Ribes. RED SPIDER ON ROSES. What is the trouble with the enclosed rose leaves, and the remedy? Only the foliage is affected. J. S. M. The trouble is red spider, and in plenty. The remedy is syringing at every favorable opportunity, with a pressure of at least forty pounds to the square inch. The branches and leaves show a weak growth. This may be due to the weak- ening effects of the ravages of this pest, but may also be due to want of ventila- tion. Give plenty of air, lots of- water and keep the syringe going. See that the under sides are thoroughly washed, as it is there where these insects congregate. ElBES. THRIPS ON BEAUTIES. I am sending you by mail a small box containing seven buds of American Beau- ties. Nearly all my Beauties are form- ing buds like the sample I am sending you. I waited a little while, thinking the warmer spring weather would im- prove them. It may be that they have done a little better, but the buds are still very imperfect and are worthless for flowers. Will you kindly advise me what the trouble with them is, and how to remedy it? W. L. These Beauty buds are badly infested with thrips, and so long as they are in the house you may expect a large propor- tion of the buds to be spoiled. As thrips love the heat, there is little probability of their decrease unless remedial meas- ures are applied. Light and persistent fumigation with tobacco fumes, applied late at night or early in the morning, will lessen their numbers. This fumigating, however, has a tendency to bleach the outer petals, making them unmarketable. Fresh Cayenne pepper, applied in the following manner, if persisted in, will also subdue them. Heat some bricks or iron plates, and place through the house. Then start at the end farthest from the door and put a tablespoonful of the pepper on each brick or plate, and leave the house quickly, as the fumes are very irritating and even dangerous. Keep the ventilators closed for an hour. Syringing occasionally with kerosene emulsion has also a deterrent effect. As a preventive, keep all weeds and decaying matter well away from the out- side of the houses, and keep the paths, as well as the ground under the benches and on the benches, scrupulously clean. This is a pest which requires time, pa- tience and persistence to eradicate. Rises. THE READERS' CORNER. Qeosote in Greenhottses. I note in the Review of May 14 the remarks of Thomas H. White with re- gard to concrete slabs for bench bottoms. He concludes: "1 should think it would pay to use the slabs even if wood sup- ports were used, as the supports could be treated with some of the creosote preparations and would last a good many years. It is the bottom boards that need so much renewal." I am specially interested in the refer- ence to creosote, for I always have sup- posed that creosote, while a good pre- servative of wood, was injurious to plant life and that it could not safely be used about a greenhouse. I should like to hear, through the Review, from those whose experience gives them definite in- formation on this subject. If there is any wood preservative that can be safely used, I think we all want to know about it. K. L M. White Fly. I have noted in the Review several methods of fighting the white fly. I use and recommend the burning of damp tobacco stems, fumigating every other night for three fumigations. The first time add half a teaspoonful of sulphur for a house 20x100; for the second fu-. migation use two-thirds of a teaspoonful of the sulphur, and the third time use a whole teaspoonful. Using this every other night, it will not hurt the stock and is sure to kill the white fly. Henry Barton. Wheeling, W.

The Weekly Florists' Review. )5 Estabfishtnent of Ludwig Stapp, Rock Island, III. ILUDWIG STAFF'S FLACE. The Tri-Cities Florists ' Club is one of the most successful of the trade organi- tions of the middle west, for in its mem- bership it numbers practically all the flo- rists of the Tri-cities, as they are knowp, Moline and Eock Island in Illinois, and Davenport in Iowa. These prosperous cities afford an excellent business for a score or more of growers and retailers, and the greenhouse establishments there are most of them fine examples of their kind. All the growers do more or less retail business, but some of them also wholesale a part of their products. While a great variety of stock is grown, the wholesalers grow largely carnations, and this flower'* is almost a specialty at the establishment of Ludwig Stapp, at Rock Island, which is shown in the accompany- ing illustration. The picture shows a well-kept place and it is interesting to note that Mr. Stapp has within the last few weeks placed an order for the mate- rial for a much larger house than any of those shown in the picture, which is to be erected this spring. Business is good enough with him so that he thinks he needs as many more carnations as he can plant in a house 51x160, the first wide house to be built in that section. Carnation growers will be especially in- terested in the fact that Mr. Stapp is an advocate of watering the carnation plants while in the field and last summer equipped a plot of ground 60x300 feet to give the plants water without effort whenever they did not get rain. He says he found the watering a great benefit in dry spells, and especially good after planting, particularly when the weather turns dry and windy. In such case he turned on the water after finishing a day's planting and says it refreshed the plants like a shower. Mr. Stapp goes to some little trouble to get his water, pumping it from two wells, one 140 feet deep and the other 200 feet. He drives the pumps with a two-horse power elec- tric motor, pumping into a cistern, from which the water is again pumped by a two-horse power combination pump and .^engine such as has been sold to many growers by the Standard Pump & Engine Co., of Cleveland. This forces the water into a large pneumatic tank which gives a pressure up to 100 pounds; but the tank does not hold the pressure above thirty to forty pounds when he is operat- ing more than one line of the watering system. However, as he has the pipes arranged, thirty- pounds ' pressure enables him to cover the ground. In piping his field Mr. Stapp ran a 1^4 -inch pipe from the greenhouses to the center of the patch. From there he carried two lines' to the right and two lines to the left, each 150 feet long, Each line can be cut out with a valve and controlled with a swivel wheel, but all the lines could be operated at once if water could be supplied a little faster by the tank. It would then take a 2-inch flow, or 2 14 -inch, to feed all the pipes at once. In the lines the first fifty feet are 1%-inch pipe, the next fifty feet 1-incb pipe and the last fifty feet %-inch. Mr. Stapp thinks it would work better if he had the first seventy-five feet 1^4 -inch. The Wittbold nozzles are ten feet apart, sixty nozzles on the 600 feet of pipe. After Mr. Stapp gets his carnations off the field he uses the land for a fall crop of lettuce and spinach.

Field Watering System at Ludwig Stapp's, Rock Island, III. 16 The Weekly Florists' Review* Mat 21, 1908. CARNATION NOTES.-EAST. Field Culture* Whatever may be the plan for care of stock during its stay in the field, it .is imperative" that we be well equipped with tools for cultivation of the soil and that we possess muscle and determination to carry out the work thoroughly. From much that has been published in various journals, one might be led to believe the degree of thoroughness in cultivation to be determined by the depth to which the soil is stirred, when, as a matter of fact, the benefits to be derived depend on the time when the :vJork is done and the amount of thought put into the work. All deep cultivation should have been done at the time of plowing, and it may be said in this connection that an extra day spent at that time in thoroughly fitting the land will greatly reduce the amount of elbow grease to be expended later. Use of Hand Cultivators. Some growers, especially those of the old school, remark with fine scorn on the impracticability of hand cultivators, but in spite of that their superiority over those drawn by horses is being shown each year by their increased use among those growers who appreciate the advan- tages to be gained. Since the plants can be more closely eet, less land is required. Consequently there is less labor in fitting and less area to be kept cultivated; also a saving in manure. These implements permit work- ing close to the plant and, as they are adjustable in many ways, conditions can be so readily met that the use of a hand hoe is scarcely required. Our experience leads us to favor those provided with two wheels and designed to straddle the row. Cultivation should begin as soon as the plants are set, to remedy the packed con- dition of soil incident to the work of planting. Those put out each day should be gone over before night. It is surprising how many hold the opinion, or at least, by the appearance of their fields, give the impression that cultivation is needed only when weeds threaten to take full possession. Frequency of Cultivation. Rapid growth of weeds is an infallible sign of ideal soil and weather conditions, and the grower who frequently stirs the surface soil not only maintains growth in his plants during less favorable pe- riods, but, in the destruction of weeds while small, preserves plant food in its most available form, thus throwing around his stock every inducement to make the growth which otherwise would have been appropriated by the weeds. When one considers the few good growing days there are in a month, the importance of frequent cultivation is apparent. Cultivate after every rain or even a light shower, as soon as the soil is in workable condition. Cultivate also after two or three nights of heavy dew. If there is time between, repeat; if not, take time and cultivate some more, but do not go deeply. The first time over get the teeth well into the soil, but afterward about an inch is sufficient, the object being to prevent baking of the surface and con- sequent loss of soil moisture. If from any cause a number of plants have died, remove them from the field at once, and apply this rule also during the summer when topping. Do not in- vite trouble by leaving the tops to decay. Geo. S. Osbobn, CUTWORMS. I mixed cow manure with my carna- tion soil and allowed it to rot before putting it in the benches last August. Last February I discovered a number of species of cutworm eating the blooms of several plants. They seem to be the most plentiful in some smilax which I have growing at the end of one of the carnation benches. Do you suppose that the worms were in the manure, or if not, what in your opinion was the cause of their presence? . . W. B. The cutworms you complain of are no doubt one of the several kinds we meet with in the greenhouse and also in the field and are probably the ones which give carnation growers considerable trou- ble by eating the flower buds. This worm, like most of the grubs and cut- worms, is found mostly in sod soil, as it •feeds on either the roots or the foliage'. You gathered them in your sod soil and not in the manure. You made no mis- take in using cow manure and you could do nothing toward destroying the worms until they made their appearance as cutworms. When they began feed- ing, however, you could have gone after them with the following remedy and cleaned them out: Take a quantity of wheat bran and stir into it enough mo- lasses to make it slightly moist and sweet. Then mix into this enough Paris green to make it poisonous and scatter around where you think the worms are. Put in a liberal amount of the Paris green, to make sure it is deadly. We have recently found that there is a wide variance in the quality of this common poison. Some we bought could have been taken by the spoonful without seri- ous effects, apparently. A. F. J. B. GET THE CUTTINGS IN. There is still time to get in a large batch of chrysanthemum cuttings to grow to single stems. In fact, they can be propagated until the middle of June, although we prefer to discontinue this work about June 1. Of course the flowers produced from these late cuttings are not such as Mr. Totty might want to exhibit, but they will be found, of. a use- ful commercial size when in fldjver, some- thing the markets are constantly calling for and such as your retail customers at home will buy. We like to pot off all our mums, but have transferred direct from the cutting bench to their flowering quarters and have had good success on every occasion. Be careful not to let your cuttings stay in the bench too long, until they become hard, or they w'ill amount to very little. Cuttings inserted during May and June will produce salable pot plants for fall trade. These are grown in a va- riety of ways. Some plant outdoors and lift; others plant in a bench, lifting late in August, while some prefer to keep in pots all the time. The last method en- tails more work, but gives the best plants. If lifted carefully from benches, the plants will suffer much less than if potted from the open ground. At the V .:^'i«ir'^'«:i- \\.j^hi^~:<' <:* Mat 21, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review.

The sale of pompon chrysanthemum plants has increased rapidly of late years and this season the demand will be still further stimulated by the article sent out by the press bureau of the National Council of Horticulture for publication in ifs large list of daily and weekly papers. Chrysanthemums of the pompon type, of which each plant produces from forty to 100 blooms, an inch or two across, are many of them hardy enough to remain out all winter in central and southern latitudes. The blooms often remain in good condition until Thanksgiving. These plants are the most capable of resisting frosts of any flowers. Their peculiar merit is that they bloom long after successive frosts have denuded the landscape. The flowers are not ruined until their petals have been wet and frozen stiff. The plants are necessarily used for mass effects, as great size is not to be expected. Masses of red and brown side by side make a striking com- bination. Crimson and pink varieties should be kept by themselves, because their colors are variable and they make a violent contrast with the yellow. The culture of hardy chrysanthemums is simple. They need little care and can be planted in any situation, so that the soil is rich. They are best propagated from cuttings, which should be made at . any time up to May. They should be inserted singly in pots, or in sandy soil, and as soon as they are rooted they may be set outdoors in their permanent loca- tion. THE WA-NO-KA GREENHOUSES. Western New York is rich in the lore of the Indians and its nomenclature is largely that of the original Americans, who, while driven out by the white men, nevertheless left their impress upon the names of the localities. Wa-no-ka was an Indian maiden and the name means "just one of a kind." As adopted for the "carnation growing establishment at Barneveld, N. Y., it is to be hoped that it is misapplied, for the kind is such an excellent one, and visitors are so favor- ably impressed, that it will be a loss to the trade if more of the kind are not developed. The business was established some years ago by C. A. Nicholson and his son, H. H. Nicholson, under the firm name of H. H. Nicholson & Co. From the first the establishment was devoted exclusively to carnations. A. O. Grassl was secured as grower and in 1905 was admitted to equal partnership with H. H. Nicholson, C. A. Nicholson retiring, and since then the business has been conducted under the name of Wa-no-ka Greenhouses. The accompanying illus- tration shows the plant as it appeared one January day this year. The establishment is kept in apple-pie order and the stock is uniformly good. None but the most up-to-date varieties are grown, but those seen in the average commercial establishment, producing cut blooms, have been largely displaced by seedlings raised since Mr. Grassl 's con- nection with the business. They have a number of seedlings which may shortly be disseminated in the trade. Possibly the best of these is Apple Blossom, of which Willian Scott said, upon the occa- sion of his last visit, that the house reminded him of nothing so much as a field of ripening wheat. The flower is white, with the base of *ach petal shaded with pink. While it is not so large as Enchantress and some other varieties, it is of excellent commercial size. THE FOUNDATION OF SUCCESS. [A paper by B. T. Galloway, chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, read before the Horticultural So- ciety of New York May 13, 1908.] There are four special crops growing in this country, which in the order of their commercial importance are: (1) the rose; (2) the carnation; <3) the violet, and (4) the chrysanthemum. Al- though I have been gathering statistical data of one kind and another bearing on these crops for the past fifteen years, I am not sure just at present whether I am justified in naming the rose first, or whether it should not give place to the carnation. However, this is a mat- ter aside from my subject, except as a way of introducing the fact that the vio- let, modest and sweet and without the queenly qualities of h^r competitors, stands third in actual value of cash re- turns for money invested. Pectdiarities of the Violet Business. The violet business has some rather interesting and peculiar conditions as- sociated with it. Like the growing of certain crops, the production of poultry, etc., there seems to be an idea prevalent among people who have tried many things and failed that the violet is one that they can take up without giving any great study to the conditions in- volved. It is not an unusual thing to find men who have all their lives been engaged in farming, or the trades, or commercial work, getting interested in violet culture, going into the business, and succeeding in an incomprehensible way for the first two or three years. Then, again, I suppose there are more women scattered through the country who have an idea that they can take up this business than almost any other con- nected with the growing of crops under glass. As a matter of fact, schoolmarms, clerks, lawyers, doctors, and various others who have, or think they have, op- portunities of success, start out with a view to coining money in the production of and sale of violets. Doubtless much of this interest in the crop arises from the fact that it does not cost a great deal, comparatively speaking, to start the work. The violet is modest, not only in itself, but in a measure in its require- ments, and although it is amenable to a great extent to good treatment, it will sometimes do remarkably well under in- different conditions. I have pointed out in the course of my work with this crop that there are probably more failures in growing it than are to be found with any other plant produced under glass. This, to my mind, is not so much due to inherent diflSculties in the crop itself as it is to the fact that so many inexperi- enced people undertake to grow it. Looking back over the past fifteen years, it is of interest to me to note that of all the men who were success- fully growing the violet, ten, twelve or fifteen years ago, there are few of them left at the present time. Some of these good people have branched out into other lines, but the greater portion of them have quit the business entirely. There are new growers coming on all the time, however, so that the market is not lack- ing for a supply of the flowers. Alto- gether it may be said in this connection that the trade in violets is practically holding its own. There has been no great increase in the demand for the crop, but there has been a wholesome and legitimate growth of the market, largely due to the increasing population of our cities and the demand for a. / k-. M' The Weekly Florists' Review. May 21, 1908. flower which, when fresh and sweet, is always marketable. There is one peculiarity about the vio- let that will always make it more or less in demand, and that is, the season for it is circumscribed within certain definite months. The carnation and the rose have long seasons; the chrysanthe- mum a short one, and the violet some- what longer but still short when com- pared to the first two crops. By the mid- dle of April or the first part of May the season for violets is over and then they disappear until the following October, so that there is a freshness and keenness regarding the demand for them each re- curring autumn. The Style of House. Having now pointed out some of the essentials and fundamentals connected with the business, it is desirable that we shall consider the important factors which have to do with the success or fail- ure of the work when it is conducted on a commercial basis. It is, of course, im- portant that there shall be some kind of a house in which to grow violets. In the * earlier days the violet was produced al- most exclusively under sashes and in coldframes. As the demand for the flow- ers increased, however, it was found impracticable, especially in our northern climates, to grow the crop in this way. Gradually there was evolved from the coldframe the common dugout, a modifi- cation of the coldframe to the end of sinking a path in the center of the frame so as to give sufficient headroom for the worker to handle his plants and gather the flowers without being exposed to the weather. It was considered necessary to keep the plants close to the glass; hence the evolution of the violet was slow. Gradually, however, the sashes were raised and the houses were made higher on the sides. Coincident with this development came the change from the growing of the plants out of doors during the sum- mer to planting under glass and growing them there the season through. I think probably the spot disease had more to do with indoor growing than any other one thing. There are, of course, all kinds of houses, which only emphasize the state- ment already made as to the varying kinds of men and the varying kinds of conditions under which the violet has been forced to make its way into com- mercial work. In contrast to the houses in which there has seemingly been little regard for light, heat, or any of the modern requirements, in some compara- tively recent establishments these things have had due consideration. The Modern House. The violet does not need a great amount of light during the hot months, and even in winter, where the sun is bright, it is often essential to have some shade; hence the grower, if he is in the violet business alone, does not need to give so much heed to the question of (Continued on page 38) ^j-**-'*.; ,*-**■ CATTLEYAS. [A synopsis of a paper by Georfte E. McClure. rend l>efore the Buffalo Florists' Club, continued from The Review of May 14.] Fertilizers. Manurial fertilizers for cattleyas should be studiously avoided, especially when sphagnum moss has been used with the potting material, as it causes too rapid decomposition, with consequent de- cay of the roots. However, with the sys- tem here advocated it is well to use what is known as the Cookson formula, which is as follows: Three ounces potas- sium nitrate; two ounces ammonium phosphate, dissolved in three gallons of water. Use one liquid ounce of this solution to every gallon of water ap- plied. If this fertilizer is used once each week during the growing season the plants will be much benefited. Enemies. The chief enemies of cattleyas are in- sects. The cattleya fly is unquestionably the most injurious of these enemies. It is a small insect and deposits its eggs iu the young growths of the plant. As the- growths develop the eggs hatch out and the larvae feed on the developing growth, which is soon arrested and stunted. The fly then emerges and pro- ceeds to deposit eggs in other growths. An abnormal swelling of the young growth is the first indication of the larval presence, and the atfected growths must be sacrificed. Latent eyes or buds will start, but will not be as strong as the first growths. The judicious use of hydrocyanic acid gas should control this pest. Next to the cattleya fly, the cftckroach is the most injurious insect enemy. It destroys the flower buds and tender root tips. The roaches may be destroyed by a mixture of cornmeal and Paris green placed on the benches or between the pots. They may also be trapped in wide mouthed bottles containing a little sweet oil. Thrips are also injurious to the young growths of cattleyas. Their presence is made known by the brownish appear- ance of the young growths. The trained eye may detect their presence before much damage has been done. The dis- coloration is the after effect of the in- jury done. To eradicate thrips, spray with Nicoticide or some other tobacco extract. A good plan is to spray the (Continued on page 40) THE DEATH ROLL. ' . William Scott. William Scott is dead. The newa will be received in sadness by many ftibusands in the trade, for there was no man in our profession who was so widely known for his writings, nor has the literature of floriculture in America produced any other writer of equal power to make his readers feel the warm, personal qualities of the man who wielded the pen. During the nine years that Mr. Scott's notes were a weekly feature of the Review', from the date of its first issue until that later day when failing health made it no longer possible for him to contribute to the sum of human happiness and knowledge from out his great store of information, he was the most widely read writer for the trade press and the human qualities of his work appealed to his readers to such a degree that thousands who never had met the man will feel his loss to be a personal one, as of an old and intimate friend. Mr. Scott's versatility was a constant source of amazement to the editor of this paper, who early noted his ability and encouraged him to write more and more freely for the trade press. No question referred to him seemed to have been too complicated for him to answer, and many times matters outside of a strictly trade character were treated as ably as they would have been by a spe- cialist, and in a far more practical and entertaining manner. But Mr. Scott's crowning work was the Florists' Manual, published by the publishers of the Review^, in 1899, which was promptly recognized as the standard treatise on the commercial side of the florists ' business in America, covering practically every phase of the subject. So large and steady was the sale of tlie book that a new edition was found necessary in 1906. The revision for this was almost the last work for which Mr. Scott had strength, for shortly after its completion he suffered a stroke of pa- ralysis from which he never recovered; while it did not dim his bright mind, it took from him the power for effort. He grew steadily weaker until the pres- ent month, when he was again attacked by paralysis, to which he succumbed at 7:20 a. m., Tuesday, May 19. William Scott was born July 31, 1844, at Leigh Park, Hampshire, England, the country home of Sir George Thomas Staunton, one of the finest gardens in Europe, where his father was head gar- dener for twenty-seven years. He attend- ed a private school in the neighboring town of Havant till he was 13 years of age, at which time the schoolmaster be- came insane, but as Mr, Scott, who de- lighted to tell the story, said after a pause, this was not his fault. He began work in the garden shortly after this and the first job he could remember doing for wages was weeding chrysanthemums that had been cut down after flowering and were standing in pots under the shelter of a hedge. At 15 years of age he had the care of a conservatory ,that had to be so scrupulously clean and neat that the petal of a camellia must not be seen on the snow-white paths or the trimly kept border. Among the plants in this old- fashioned house was a Phornium tenax some six feet across, oranges of various species or varieties that yielded bushels of fruit, an Acacia pubescens that went to the roof, and a grand specimen of Araucaria excelsa ten feet high and per- May 21, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review. 19 feet in form, and. still, such is the mild- ness of the climate of the south coast of England, more than one winter passed without the fires being lighted to heat this house. In this beautiful garden were not only the rarest exotic plants, including for those days a grand collection of or- chids, almost all the economic plants, and exotic fruits, grown to perfection, but the highest type of landscape art was exemplified. The beauty of the place attracted many visitors and Mr. Scott was privileged to see many of the illustrious men and women of Europe who came there to enjoy that beauty. When the subject of this sketch was 17 years of age his father removed to Chichester, where he rented the North- gate Nurseries. Mr. Scott worked in the nursery, greenhouses and seed store of his father till the spring of 1868, ex- cept for two years during which he was employed in the seed store of W. H. Eogers, of Southampton, famous as a most estimable man and as a good grow- er of rhododendrons. In the spring of 1868 a spirit of adventure came over the young man, his brother, Alex, and his friend, E. I. Mepsted. Canada was settled upon as the place to which to emigrate, but the good father said: ' ' Boys, the United States is the place for you, and I have many friends there. ' ' James Fleming, then in partnership with Peter Henderson, was one of the old Leigh Park men. Robert Buist, of Philadelphia, and Mr, Brackenridge, of Baltimore, were old associates of the older Scott in Edinburgh. David Fer- guson, of Philadelphia, was another Leigh Park man, and there were others in the United States. The watering can was thrown down one Saturday night in March, with the expec- tation that it was never to be handled again, and the trio were off for the back- Avoods of Canada to trap and hunt and get in close communion with the redmen of the primeval forest. A look at the forest, about three miles up Yonge street, Toronto, was enough for the party, and through the kindness of George Les- lie, the nurseryman, the party was quick- ly back at the old trade. The follow- ing winter Mr. Scott was in the employ of James Pape, who grew plants for the Toronto market. The summer of 1869 they tried market gardening and the seed business in Stratford, Ont. There were too many in the firm, as was evi- denced during the dull months when the gross receipts of the day amounted to not over $1.25. So they paid their bills and through his old friend, George Vair, Mr. Scott engaged with George Bailey, of Buffalo, who was then one of Buffalo's most prosperous manufacturers and was building a fine private place. Mr. Scott was ' ' imported ' ' to work for him in 1870. In 1876, through the declining business of his employer, he was almost compelled to rent the houses, quite a little com- mercial growing having been done in the preceding two years. These houses he conducted profitably for three years, but in the second one he secured the prop- erty on Balcom street, where he lived for more than three decades. Mr. Scott always spoke modestly of his establish- ment as of but moderate size, but while • this may be true to a certain extent, his place always ranked with the larger ones and nowhere were plants and flowers bet- tor grown. Quality always was sought rather than quantity, and the former ^^as found to pay better than the latter. mia William Scott. though Mr. Scott came pretty near get- ting both. A beautiful note in Mr. Scott's charac- ter was his sincere affection for his ex- cellent wife. In referring to his early struggles in business he freely accorded her the credit for his success, and said that without the help of his most true and loving helpmate he never could have accomplished what he did. Mr. Scott carried on a general florists' business in Buffalo, the home place being almost in the geographical center of the city, but after a few years the demand for more stock caused him to acquire a piece of acre property at Corfu, a few miles outside the city, where a range of glass was put up for cut flowers. The business covers all the various di- visions of the trade and, together with his early training, this accounts for his familiarity with such a wide range of subjects. This being supplemenl:ed by' a wonderfully retentive memory and a pe- culiarly happy, clear and graceful style of composition, made him the most val- ued contributor to the trade press. The art of telling a great deal in a few words was possessed by Mr. Scott to a remark- able degree. BuJ his popularity does not rest solely upon his writings. He beUeved in visiting his fellow craftsmen, and traveled extensively. He was good fellowship personified and to meet him was to feel he was your friend, if you were worthy of such friendship. We question if anyone in the trade was more generally known or more universally es- teemed than William Scott. Mr. Scott was an active participant, up to the last couple of years, in the affairs of our trade societies. He was president of the Society of American Florists in 1896 and his ready wit, coupled with his grasp of the situation, made him a prominent figure in the an- nual conventions of that society, the Carnation Society, and other trade bodies. In speaking of himself, Mr. Scott has said : " I do not wish to be judged by what I am worth, but by what I have earned and done," and one of the chief accomplishments of his life, and that of Mrs. Scott, was the raising of a splendid family. As the sons grew to manhood they assumed the father's business cares, both at the city place and at Corfu, where David Scott now lives with a fine family of his own. R. A. Scott manages the home place. The business was incor- porated as the Wm. Scott Co. about five years ago, when the boys took the active management. One son, Phil Scott, went to Denver several years ago and eventu- ally started in the retail business for himself. One daughter also survives, with the widow, and there is a sister, Mrs. Henry Sadler, at the old family home at Chichester, England. The funeral will be held today, May 21, and will be attended by the Buffalo Florists' Club in a body and by many members of the trade from outside Buf- falo. Mystic, Conn. — J. Henry Schaffer is becoming well established in business here and is winning a steadily increasing patronage. He does a general plant and cut flower trade. -U.. .-.^..i..A..twM"* 'If Z- ■-.,■■:. y-. 20 The Weekly Florists' Review* Mat 21, 1908. THE FLORISTS' REVIEW 6. L. GRANT, Editor and Makageb.

When printed letter-heads cost so lit- •tle, it is a great mistake for growers to write on plain paper and thereby cre- ate a doubt as to whether or not they are entitled to trade prices. All the European horticultural peri- odicals are reprinting the paper on hy- bridizing, by ^lex Dickson, of Newtown- ards, presented before the American Rose Society at its Chicago meeting. R. Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., was the representative of the United States at the centenary flower show at Ghent, Belgium, at the end of April. If any other Americans were present, they do not figure in the reports. A LARGE English firm says that Fuch- sia Alice Hoffman is undoubtedly one of the best for bedding or pot work. It is of compact habit, dwarf, with charming small flowers, sepals brilliant carmine, corolla white. The fuchsia is enjoying a well deserved return to popular favor. The retail florists have no right to put upon the wholesale florists the burden of the long credits said by some re- tailers to be a necessary evil in their business. No retailer is justified in granting credits larger than his own capital and margin of profit will provide for. The general report is that the orders placed with the Holland bulb salesmen are much smaller than last year — but the bulb men should not despair. A goodly number will consider that, aa everyone else is cuttipg down, it may be as well for them to reinstate their own full order. It is stated that fan trained azaleas have become popular in Belgium and France. They are grown specially for the window and balcony, and are ad- mirably adapted for placing on brack- ets in large rooms and in corridors. When well-bloomed on both sides they are de- cidedly effective. At the great centennial exhibition at Ghent, Belgium, April 25 to May 2, Nephrolepis Amerpohlii was awarded the premium for the best new fern. Secretary Albert M. Hebe, of^the American Carnation Society, has issued the annual "Proceedings" of the so- ciety, being a stenographic report of the seventeenth annual meeting, held at Washington, D.

The Great Central Market There has been only one brief period of fair weather in the week which has elapsed since last report. During the in- terval in which the sun shone, the revival of spirits in the market was pronounced, for it fell on Saturday, when local trade is always strong, and a big business was done, even if at about the cheapest prices of the season. It has rained so continuously since the beginning of May that it has put an effectual damper on the market, as it has, indeed, upon all lines of trade in any way affected by the weather. Memory is proverbially short in such matters, but no one remembers a time when we have had so long a period of unfavorable weather at so in- opportune a season. The production of cut flowers is large in spite of dull skies, and growers are anxious to prosecute the work of field planting, especially of car- nations, while those of the retaDers who do bedding out and similar work find it impossible to make progress in what usu- ally is their busiest month. The* market was overloaded steadily last week, and even on Saturday and Sun- day, with pleasant weather, it was im- possible to wholly clean up, although the load waa lightened to the smallest pro- portions of the fortnight. Monday and Tuesday reverted to the condition suited only to ducks and the market at once relapsed. There is too much of every- thing, because there is no real demand for anything. Both roses and carnations are in oversupply and the quality is de- teriorating rapidly, as a result of the long continued rainy weather. Roses are soft and many show the ravages of thrips, as do a considerable proportion of the pink carnations. White carnations often are received in a practically un- salable condition, the petals already hav- ing turned brown. It is only possible to move the bulk of the receipts through job lot sales at unquotable prices. At the same time it is necessary to charge • good prices to a buyer who wants really first-class stock, because it is necessary to do a great deal of sorting to get out such orders. There has been a reduction in the sup- •-:.\*;.5:; Mat 21, 1908.

Easter lilies also are shortening and prices are likely to advance with a slight increase in the demand. Callas are ap- proaching the end of the season. Violets are practically out of the market, only a few locally grown Marie Louise being available. Lilac has been abundant this week, but the rain has done it much harm. Outdoor tulips also have been spoiled to a large extent. Lily of the valley is again abundant. Large quan- tities of white daisies are received, and a few yellows. Cape jasmine is sold in considerable quantity, but receipts are heavy and prices low. Cattleyas are abundant and of splendid quality. There is only a moderate call for green goods. The condition of the market will change radically with a change in the weather. Cold, such as we had at -this date last year, will shorten the supply, while warm, bright days would have the opposite ef- fect and might run the crops off quick- ly. But a return of sunny, seasonable weather will put new life into the demaiid and conditions will improve. While business is nowhere near as good as it was a year ago, it must be remembered that May of 1907 was an ex- ceptional month. There were no outdoor flowers and the weather was unseason- ably cool. Supply was short and prices high. Sales for May last year, with practically every house in town, not only broke previous records but put them far in the shade. Comparisons of this month's business should be made with May of 1906, if with any other year. It is unfair to the present month to com- pare it with May of last year. The show- ing of aggregate sales is not bad when compared with years other than the last one. Memorial Day Prospects. It is the consensus of opinion that sup- plies will continue large for Memorial day. Most wholesalers believe the de- mand will take all the carnations which will be available, for the inquiry seems to be stronger for carnations than for roses. It is the general report that the advance orders and inquiries are much heavier than they were for Easter; in- deed, several wholesalers say they are beyond any comparison. It is thought there will be an abundance of roses and that a fair grade of roses can be sold as cheaply as good carnations. As to peonies, the prospect is for a short supply, even less than last year.' Locally grown Old Red will be in, but others will be from the central part of the state, or the southern stock now in cold storage. • This is said to be less in quantity than a year ago. The whole- salers are taking orders at $8 per hun- dred for assorted lots; $10 per hundred where only white or best pink is wanted. But there is a general feeling that prices will be higher before May 30 and that buyers who do not place advance orders will pay more money for their peonies. Word has been received from Texas that the weather conditions are hurry- ing along the cape jasmine buds and that the crop will not hold out until Decoration day. Quantities have been placed in cold storage at Chicago, so that if Texas is out, this market probably can spare a few to ship back in that direc- tion. The Thompson Case* Judge Landis, in the United States District Court, has dismissed the bank- ruptcy proceedings against the J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., declared the company solvent and assessed the costs against the petitioning creditors. The court ordered the receiver to turn the property over to Charles M. Fish, secre- tary of the company and husband of one of J. D. Thompson 's sisters, and enjoined Thompson, the president of the company, from in any way interfering with the management of the business pending a decision in a case affecting the issues now in the Circuit Court of Will county. ^'u 'i!4M.;iitaW»--^i-r.r . >.VM'n'''"ji':' I ;.- / Can always supply the best goods the season affords A complete line of ill Wire Work and Supplies constantly on hand DECORATION DAY PRICE LIST ORCl|IDS, a apeolalty.

The Market There was a little spurt in the business the last week, but it was soon over, only to fall back into tbe old rut. The work done was mostly funeral work and a few small weddings. The market was not short of stock at any time. All four of our commission men had stock enough to fill as large an order as one could give and then have some left over. And the prices are as low as they can be. Any lower would be next to giving them away. Carnations are holding up well, Baer's Peoria stock taking the lead in this mar- ket. These are selling much better than roses, as the latter are too plentiful and soft. Sweet peas are abundant; in fact, there are too many in the market to get anything like a fair price for them. Peonies are selling well. Cape jasmines are a drug. We are looking for a heavy consignment of outdoor stock for Deco- ration day trade. Qub Meeting. The Florists' Club held its regular monthly meeting last Thursday after- noon, and, as was expected, the attend-' ance was light. The day being clear and warm, most of the members were busy with planting. President Young and Secretary Bentzen being among the busy ones. Vice-president Angermueller and ex-Secretary Beneke took their places. The meeting opened at 2:30 p. m., with fifteen members present. After the reg- ular opening preliminaries, thp different committees were called upon for reports. The pottery committee could not report a subscription of $10,000 ; they were dis- charged with thanks. The trustees re- ported that they as yet had made no arrangements for the club 's outing. They were given full power to act and report full arrangements at the next meeting, as to place, date and program. For the good of the club several places for hold- ing the outing were spoken for. The White City Amusement Garden, near Belleville, spoken for by A. S. Halstead, will be looked iato by the trustees. A general review of the Easter trade was made in a discussion by the members and it was the opinion that this Easter the trade all through was as good as in any previous Easter, only that the lateness this year cut out a good deal of the bulb- ous stock and lilies were too far ad- vanced. The question box brought out a lot of pleasant and spirited discussions, which made things quite interesting to the handful of members present. The rest of the afternoon was spent in a near-by cafe, where refreshments and cigars were served, and there was a general talk on the social features of the club. Various Notes. Martin Reukauf, representative of H. 26 The Weekly Florists' Review. Mat 21, 1908. New Easter Lily FORMOSA Lilium Longiflorum Originator's Stock A decided improvement over any previous type of Japanese Easter Lily, having proven to be free from disease. During the past season we imported a limited quantity of these bulbs as an experiment, and distributed them among aome of the largest Lily growers in this country. They were all very well pleased with it. One party to whom we sold 1500 had 1500 good plants when his house was examined before Easter. They were coming into bud splendidly, and showed not the slightest sign of disease. The height of this Lily, with average culture, is a little taller than the Multiflorum, being from 3 to 3)4 feet. 6-8 inch bulbs produce about 3 to 4 blooms. 7-9 inch bulbs produce about 4 to 6 blooms. 9-10 inch bulbs produce about 6 to 8 blooms. The variety itself makes an especially good one for the Lily grower to handle, because it may be potted about the middle of August or beginning of September, which will allow the grower to handle it in all the different temperatures that he desires, without extreme forcing. One Lily grower gave us his opinion as follows: "I have been growing Lilies in very large quantities for years, but must admit that the * Formosa Lilium Longiflorum ' that you supplied me is the best that I have ever handled." This party has already booked his order with us for a very large number for next year's delivery See illustration of £mil Lieker's house of Formosa Lilies. The Formosa Lilium Longiflorum is also reported as desirable for Christmas forcing; it can be had in flower just as easily, in fact it is more certain to be than Lilium Harrisii.

A good dele- gation from here is promised. Emil Schray, executor of the estate of William Schray, deceased, has posted a notice to all interested in the estate that he will make final settlement thereof at the next term of the probate court at the courthouse, St. Louis, the first Mon- day of June next. Decoration day exercises in St. Louis this year will include throwing flowers upon the river in honor of the sailors who have been buried* at sea. This should make an extra demand for stock on that day. J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville ; A. S. Halstead, of Belleville, and Henry Jo- hann, of Collinsville, spent Thursday in the city an^ attended the club meeting in tlic afternoon. Mr. Ammann reports that he has bought out the retail store of Mrs. Dietschy, at Alton, HI., and runs the place with Mrs. Dietschy in charge. Mr. Halstead reports a fairly good trade this month in plants and cut flowers. Mr. Johann also had a good word for his business, only that the planting out season has been a little backward, owing to too much rain. Walter Retzer, of the St. Louis Seed Co.. reports that during the free seed dis- tribution day for school children 16,000 children were given seeds. At the club meeting Thursday afternoon someone ask- ed Mr. Retzer, "How do you find busi- ness?" His answer was, "By adver- tising for it." Phil C. Scanlan, park commissioner, who was married May 12, left on a honey- moon trip through the east. While away he will visit the different parks in the big cities. During his absence George Ostertag will be acting park commis- sioner. A. Mirring, florist at East St. Louis, lost 500 feet of glass by hail during the storm of Sunday, May 10, which also caused considerable damage to plants. Pierre Schneider, manager for the Oak- land Floral Co., Kirkwood, has resigned his position, the resignation to take ef- fect July 1. He reports that he had half a house of sweet peas, 430 square feet, from which he cut 67,000 blooms, netting him 71 cents per foot. His Enchantress netted him 5 cents, and Law- sou and Lady Bountiful 3 cents for the season. After July he will be married and take a trip to Europe. On his re- turn he will build a place of his own in South St. Louis, near the Jefferson bar- racks. The Horticultural Society did quite a lot of work at the flower booth at Forest Park Highlands Summer Garden for the charity carnival, held May 16. The booth netted a handsome profit to the carnival.

The Market Conditions show little improvement in cut flower circles. Demand is light and no particular change for the better is likely until Memorial week, at which time there promises to be a record-breaking business. Roses are much too abundant for the market's needs, and sell at low prices. Carnations are in much the same condition. A slight betterment is, how- ever, noted this week, owing to the com- ing of Memorial day. The quality re- mains good. Violets are at last finished and sweet peas are less plentiful than they were. There is a good supply of gladioli. Of the nanus section, the vari- eties Peach Blossom and Blushing Bride are mostly in evidence. Bulbous stock from outdoors is less abundant. Of Narcissus poeticus there is a heavy supply, however. Lily of the valley from outdoors is not yet in sea- son. It promises to be right for Me- morial day. Lilies and callas are plen- tiful and in little demand. A good call for bedding plants is starting and specialists in this line are getting busy. Next week promises to see business lively and an active call for both potted plants and cut flowers. Col- ored flowers, particularly bright shades. .. id''" _■ ■ Max 21, 1908.

There was an attendance of over 100 at the May meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists ' Club May 19, to hear F. E. Palmer give a most pertinent and prac- tical talk on "Some Points on the Art of Selling. ' ' It was a new subject for the club, but proved an interesting one, as the lively discussion showed. Messrs. Holmes, Cameron, Welch, Elliott, George Anderson and Kennedy all had ideas on the subject. It was voted to hold a picnic this summer and several locations ■were suggested, but no selection made. Four new members were elected. M. A. Patten received a report of merit for a white and two crimson seed- ling carnations of excellent quality, and also showed a good yellow. Other ex- hibits included : Marguerites, from F. W. Fletcher; a fine deep Enchantress sport, from William Swan; Maid, Bride and Liberty roses, from Eber Holmes; late tulips, from W. W. Rawson & Co. It was reported that Wilfrid Wheeler is seriously ill. Various Notes. Peirce Bros, have an immense stock of Spiraa Japonica and stocks just right for Memorial day.

There prom- ises to be a good outdoor supply of flow- ers this year. Many of the late tulips will be just right. A fire broke out at the store of the H. E. Fiske Seed Co. May 16, causing damage to the extent of several hundred dollars. The firm has had a busy season and the fire came at an inopportune time, but will not interfere with the prompt filling of orders. Frank and Robert S. Edgar have ac- quired the farm, with several new and commodious greenhouses erected by W. W. Edgar, their father, and will operate it as an independent concern. Herman S. Bartsch will take charge of the older greenhouses and manage them for Mrs. Edgar. Farquhar & Co. have a fine display of the late flowering tulips in their nurs- eries at present. These bulbs are worthy the increased attention of florists, being so much superior to the early flowering section in length of stem and freedom from disease. Thomas Roland, of Nahant, has a superb house of candytuft right for Memorial day. W. N. Craig. Thomas F. Galvin returned from Eu- rope May 14. It is stated that while in England he acquired an interest in a new carnation with which he hopes to repeat the success he achieved when he distributed Lawson in the trade. He told a reporter for the Boston Herald that "Europe is far behind the United States in floriculture. The European flo- rists are not so enterprising as are their rivals on this side. The Americans are more daring in their .ventures, and while they score some failures they also achieve a much larger number of successes."

The Rising Eastern Market Conditions are less favorable in the cut flower market today than a week ago. Thursday and Friday of last week were decidedly poor. Business improved con- siderably on Saturday, and was fair on Monday, but there is more stock coming in than the market can consume advan- tageously. Peonies from the south have made their appearance in quantity, the varie- ties covering a good rauge^trf "color. They are in fair demand and prices are held firmly as these notes are written, but it is impossible to say what change a day may bring. Carnations, next to peonies the most interesting flowers as Decora- tion day approaches, have exactly re- versed the conditions existing prior to Mothers' day. White is still more in de- mand than colors, the children carrying off quantities May 18 in honor, it was said, of the peace conference on that day. The rose situation remains practically the same as a week ago, barring the fact that American Beauties have fallen slightly in price (they are far and away the best value of anything on the list today), and that the quantity of fancy teas is decreasing. The best Bride, Maid and Killarney are easily worth listed quotations, but the best are by no means so plentiful as they were just after Eas- ter. Kaiserin is increasing in quantity. The second crop promises to be on be- fore Decoration day. Sweet peas are waning. Eeally fine stock is in demand, but difficult to ob- tain. We are told that outdoor sweet peas will be here before next month, but it is difficult to verify this statement. Yellow daisies, practically the aoly thing of that color in evidence today, are sought at times. Cattleyas and Iselias are still in strong supply. Gardenias have been reinforced by the arrival of the southern cape jasmine, with disas- trous effects on the price. The indoor stock is preferred, but the outdoor stock will do if the price on the favorite is not right. Whether it be the outdoor valley, the children, or the peace couference, I know not, but the demand for valley has Peony Flowers We expect 80,000 Peony Wlovrmrm for Memorial Day (white, pink and red), fine varieties, assorted (no Officinalis), at $4.00 per 100.

Tulips are practically over, except- ing Gesneriana, most decorative but not much sought by cut flower buyers. Easter lilies have shortened in supply and ad- vanced in price. Decoration Day Prospects. The consensus of opinion points to a heavy supply of locally grown peonies for May 30. The southern supply, cen- tering about Eichmond, Va., is expected to be over before that day. It will be remembered that last year locally grown peonies were not in at Decoration day, the bulk of the stock sent out from this city being southern grown, and it was not obtainable in sufficient quantities to meet the demand. This year, barring unforeseen weather conditions, it is prob- able that all orders can be fully filled. Indications point to a good supply of car- nations, with white in the lead. The re- ports from the rose growers vary, but it is probable that there will be an excel- lent supply of medium grade roses, and a fair supply of fancy stock. It is prob- able that Japanese snowballs and mock- oranges will be at their best at this time. Italian Pottery. Paul Bcrkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., has a pleasing novelty on his show counter this week, called Italian pottery. It is something decidedly out of the com- mon, a class of pottery that suggests at once harmonious combinations with vari- ous shades -of green, and in- size v>d PEONIES Our fields will be timed just right for Memorial Day this year.

These Italian pottery vases and boxes, ornamented with their curious figures, are intended for plants on the table or in window, and when fitted with tin and filled with choice plants will certainly make a hit. The Plant Situation. The tide of business, centered for acr many months about the wholesale cut flower commission houses in the heart of the city, has rolled out to the "suburbs, where all the florists are doing an, active business that keeps them hustling fsom early in the morning until late at night. The demand for hardy roses, geraniums, vincas, sage, eannas, coleus, crotons, dra- caenas and other bedding and decorative plants has never been better. Many flo- . Viiijf ,- Mat 21, 1908.

Smith, the well known grower of Sixtieth and Market streets, is now a councilman from his West Phil- adelphia ward. "Take care of your place, and your place will take care of you." Berger Bros, expect to have good Bride and Maid all summer, one of their leading consignors having a house planted in these varieties. It is now in splendid condition. It has not done much during the winter. Walter P. Stokes is cutting a splendid lot of Lilium giganteum from his Flora- croft Greenhouses, at Moorestown. H. Bayersdorfer and Mrs. Bayersdorfer reached Hamburg safely May 16. The Andorra Nurseries are receiving much praise for the hanging garden planted for Dr. Woodward, at St. Mar- tins, near Chestnut Hill. It is now a mass of bloom. The Floral Exchange is tearing down several old houses, to be rebuilt with one large house to be planted in tea roses this summer. M. Eice & Co. report that they have just received a large shipment of wheat from Italy. The demand for sheaf wheat is large. Arthur Zirkman, of M. Kice & Co., re- turned from the east May 15. Mr. Zirk- man says that the demand for flowers, real and metallic, for Decoration day about Boston is something phenomenal. Decoration day figuring more largely than Easter in the business of most of the florists in that section. This, of course, excepts plants. Phil. NEVYORK. The Market Summer is here and with the summer temperature come the usual conditions characteristic of every summer since there was a market. Prices are about as low as they can be and a little below any former average at this time of the year. Even the regular Saturday and Monday lift was sidetracked this week. Retail windows were full of dollar boxes, an excellent way of taking advantage of the surplus. WarendorflF, on Broadway, especially sets the pace in this splendid advertising method. If there were more original advertisers among the retailers in this city, there would easily be ma- terialized 100 per cent more trade in the aggregate. Even now, the retail stores that maintain the most unique and ar- tistic decorations in their windows do the bulk of the business. It is strange the rank and file, especially the rank, do not wake up and realize the indis- putable value of window advertising. Fortunately, New York, as an offset, has many of the most artistic floral artists in America, and these men give a daily exhibition of their knowledge as to art, color, blending and arrangement, worth going miles to see. Now that the June weddings are so near, these efforts bring practical rewards. Decoration day gives promise of great- '•:... * nl w The Weekly Florists' Review. Mat 21, 1908. er observance than usual this year, if advance orders to the supply men for wreaths and other designs, in metal and preserved leaves, are an indication. All 'the supply houses have been -working overtime and claim to be behind with their orders, while shipments continue daily to every part of the country. The busy times at the seed houses con- tinue. There seems to be no end to the planting season and the stores are crowd- ed. The same cheerful condition pre- vails at all the auction rooms and the amount of sales through these mediums has been enormous. The auctions will continue far into June and special sales next week at all of them will be made of stock serviceable for Decoration day. As to the cut flower market, nothing can be added to last week's report and the same prices hold, with little prospect of change for the better before May 30. Carnations held fairly well at a slight advance the early part of last week, but toward the end they joined the rose pro- cession, which was on its way to Brook- lyn by the wagon-loads. All stock is exceptionally good and shipments con- tinue excessive. Now that the seaside resorts are open, the outlet through the street merchants will decrease, these gentry going into fruit and other lines at the resorts. Orchids and valley feel the benefit of the spring wedding demand. The im- provement will hold for several weeks at any rate. Horticultural Society Show. Those who visited the exhibition of the Horticultural Society last week were amply repaid for the journey. The an- nual meeting was held May 13, Wednes- day, in the Museum building. Six new members were added to the council: F. R. Pierson, F. L. Atkins, Ed. Roehrs, Joseph A. Manda, E. S. Miller and C. B. Weathered. The rest of the old officers were reelected. Dr. B, T. Galloway, of Washington, gave an interesting illus- trated lecture on violets. The attend- ance was larger than usual, the splendid orchid exhibit drawing many strangers, while the number of horticulturists was far above the usual average. J. T. Butterworth, of Boston, was awarded the gold medal for his speci- men Cattleya Mossise, named in honor of his wife, and a grand plant, carrying over twenty splendid flowers. Silver medals were given Julius Roehrs Co., Lager & Hurrell and C. G. Roebling. Bronze medals were awarded to Joseph A. Manda, Siebrecht & Son and W. A. Manda. The other orchid exhibitors included Dr. Kitchen, Siebrecht & Son, Clement Moore, Ordonez Bros, and others. The latter showed five fine plants of Cattleya Trianse, only six months established and showing ten new growths ready to bloom. Weinberg's exhibit of cacti included over 300 varieties. Other exhibits were: W. McCallum, flowering trees and shrubs ; Siebrecht & Son, stove and green- house plants and roses ; Frank H. Presby, dwarf Alpine iris; Julius Roehrs Co., Rose Newport Fairy; F. R. Pierson Co., seventy-six varieties of flowering shrubs, and a plant of the Superbissima fern, a table of narcissi and peonies. Wild flowers, outdoor bulbous plants and vege- tables also were shown. Altogether the exhibition was one of the best in the records of the society and augurs hopefully for the American Rose Society show in June.

HENRY A. DREER, 714 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. enthusiastic concerning it every week. If Mr. Hammond can manage to have the rose show on a Saturday and Sun- day, I will guarantee him an attendance of 100,000. Dr. Britton tells me there is no limit to the crowds on these days and here is an educational opportunity that should be taken advantage of if possible. The date so far is indefinite, the middle or last week in June. Better make it June 20 or 27 and keep it open Sunday. If you do, you will have an audience worth while catering to. It's the only hope for crowded recognition. Varioui Notes. The contemplated combination of rose and carnation growers into one grand syndicate that would revolutionize the wholesale business is still in embryo, wherever that is, and the position of manager remains unfilled. Next Wednesday, May 27, is ladies' night at the Florists' Club's rooms, in the Grand Opera House building. This night has been specially set aside for the ladies and there will be no business of any kind. A splendid musical enter- tainment, a collation and dancing ought to bring out a record crowd. To ensure its success, write W. Rickards, 37 East Nineteenth street, at once how many la- dies you will bring, and be there, rain or shine. The outing committee hopes to distribute its program that evening.. In advertising and prizes it will beat the- splendid record of 1907. If any mem- ber of the club has not yet subscribed,. Chairman Marshall, at 146 West Twenty- third street, can receive word as late as. Monday, May 25, and still have time to include you in the list of patrons. Tele- phone him if you have overlooked your opportunity. Frank Millang has returned from Maine, where, near the ocean, he has. secured a sunimer home for his family and where he NdlLgpend his June and September vacations. Sidney Wertheimer, who has returned; from a successful trip, says the demand for chiffons and nettings for Decoration day is far ahead of other years. He has found the outlook in the ribbon busi- ness encouraging all over the country and predicts a prosperous season for the florists during the coming year. The Moderation Society of New York is doing a good work by distribution of flowers at frequent intervals among the dwellers in the darkened tenements and the slum districts of New York.

Every frond, big and little, has the peculiar formation, the feathering being not only remarked along the sides of the fronds, but likewise at the top, and so that it is not flattish in form, but the whole body can only be described as being similar to an ostrich feather. Its gracefulness and enduring qualities make it good material for the table and decorative purposes and for bouquet work. Thk Review is the best and most up- to-date florists' paper in my office.

The close of the wholesale season shows good sales have been made in let- tuces, peas, celeries, savoys, chicory, egg plants and endives, and a satisfactory turnover has resulted in cabbages, kales, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, capsicums, to- matoes, leeks, parsnips and mangel wur- zels. Moderate business only has been done in spinach, parsley, carrots and tur- nips, while the sales of onions, cucumbers and beans, especially the latter, have fallen below expectations. In cauliflow- ers the Autumn Giant and Algiers vari- eties have done well, but others only moderately. Badishes have gone off all right except the autumn and winter kinds, which have rather hung fire. A SCARLET QNERARIA; ^ At the recent Ghent centenary exhibi- tion, one of the greatest ever held in Europe, among the notable things was Cineraria Scarlet Hybrid, exhibited by Vilmorin, Andrieux & Co., Quai de la Megisserie, Paris. This is of good flo- rists ' form, and has fine heads of blooms, but its great distinction lies in the fact that the flowers are wholly of a rich, deep scarlet color, a dazzling shade. *'We have so long been used to white, and blue, and purple, and dull crimson shades in cinerarias," says the Garden- ers' Magazine, London, in speaking of this exhibit, "that we have regarded a scarlet variety as something to be hoped for, but scarcely obtainable. Vilmorin, Andrieux & Co. have, so to speak, ac- > complished the impossible, and when they send out seeds of this brilliant variety in 1909 there is not the slightest doubt that the demand will be at least equal to the supply." THE WEEK IN SEEDS. Trade for the week in general is re- ported good. Unfavorable weather still has a tendency to shorten sales, but the majority of the seedsmen, as well as cus- tomers, seem to have gotten used to it and things have assumed a more normal aspect. In the vicinity of Chicago and other central western sections, planting has been greatly delayed and it is thought that many acres of the standard market gardeners' crops will not be planted. Some of the onion set growers are likely to have many acres less planted to this crop than they intended to have. Louis- ville reports the acreage planted to sets as about as usual, with conditions at present very unfavorable owing to the extreme wet. At most of the onion set growing points where the stand is well up the weeds are growing about as fast as the seedlings, and unless conditions change many acres of sets will be so overrun with weeds that they may have to be plowed up. Corn planting every- where is reported far behind and sweet corn has not been cleaned up as closely as it was expected to be by this date. Things are quieting down with the cata- logue houses, and all seem fairly well con- tent with the season's grist. Counter trade continues fair, especially with plants, etc., whenever the weather affords any encouragement to planters. Too much wet has been the greatest draw- back during May. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. Imports and exports of merchandise for the month of April, and for the ten months ended April 30, show the balance of trade strongly in our favor and are second only to good crops in insuring the prosperity of the country. The figures are as follows: April. 1908. 1907. Imports % 87,481,258$ 129,279,300 Exports 133,470,333 157,454,631 Excess exports... $ 45,989,075$ 28,175,331 Ten months ending April: Imports Exports .11,018,345,740 $1,195,124,501 . 1,631,906,065 1,608,355,030 Excess exports $ 613,560,325$ 413,230,529 At Washington, May 16, E. H. Harri- man, whose interests are probably as large as those of any man in America, said: "The basis of prosperity in every country is the product of the soil, and crops here could hardly be better. The farmers are contented; they have no mortgages to pay, their fences are built, and their land is productive. Every- thing depends on that. I see no reason for any business depression. We are all right." THE INSECTICIDES BILL. The bill now in congress providing for the regulation of the manufacture, trans- portation and sale of insecticides was drawn at the instance of the committee on proprietary insecticides of the Asso- ciation of Economic Entomologists. It is on the lines of the pure food and drugs act, providing similar means for administration and enforcement, with both fine and imprisonment as penalties for violation. The chairman of the committee states that thte bill has been drawn to aid the honest manufacturer and that it will do much toward making the business more stable and lead to a larger use of the products. The sections which are of chief interest to the users of insecticides are as follows: "Sec. 7. That for the purpose of this act an article shall be deemed adul- terated— "In the case of Paris green: First, if it does not contain at least fifty-five percentum of arsenious oxide; second, if it contains arsenic in water soluble forms equivalent to more than three and one-half percentum of arsenious oxide; third, if any substance has been mixed and packed with it so as to reduce or lower or injuriously affect its quality or strength. In the case of lead arsenate: First, if it contains more than fifty per- centum of water; second, if it contains arsenic in water soluble forms equiva- lent to more than one percentum of ar- senic oxide; third, if any substance ha» been mixed and packed with it so as to reduce or lower or injuriously affect ita quality or strength. "In the case of fungicides or insecti- cides, other than Paris green and lead arsenate: First, if its strength or purity fall below the professed standard or quality under which it is sold; second, if any substance has been substituted wholly or in part for the article; third, if any valuable constituent of the article has been wholly or in part abstracted. "Sec. 9. That for the purposes of this act an , article shall be deemed to be misbranded — "In the case of fungicides, Paris greens, lead arsenates, and insecticides other than Paris greens: ' ' First, if it be an imitation or offered for sale under the name of another ar- ticle; second, if it be labeled or branded so as to deceive or mislead the purchaser, or if the contents of the pack- age as originally put up have been re- moved in whole or in part and other contents shall have been placed in such package; third, if in package form, and the contents are stated in terms of CUTWORMS Com, Grain, Potatoes, Roots, Cotton, Vegetables and Flowers suffer enormous damage from Cutworms, Eelworme, Ants, Slugs and all kinds of Bugs in the soil.

To section 9 the following amendment is suggested: "Fourth, If it is intended for use on vegetation and shall contain any substance or substances which, al- though destroying, repelling or mitigat- ing insects, shall be injurious to such vegetation. ' ' The Association of Economic Entomo- logists is anxious for the passage of the bill at the present session of congress, but with adjournment little more than a week away the chances are not bright, as the manufacturers of insecticides will wish to be heard by the senate commit- tee on agriculture before the passage of the act. WILSON MAY RESIGN. It again has been reported that Secre- tary of Agriculture James Wilson, who has held his cabinet portfolio longer than any member of the cabinet, has announced to several of his friends that he is about to resign. Should Mr. Wil- son resign before the expiration of Pres- ident Roosevelt's term in March, 1909, there is little doubt that his successor will be Gifford Pinchot, the United States forester. It is known that the president would gladly give him a cabi- net position if the opportunity offered. Mr. Wilson entered President McKin- ley's cabinet March 5, 1897, and has served continuously ever since. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

At this time it may be well to call attention to some recent work we have been carrying on with a view to obtain- ing information regarding the cost of bench construction. With the prices of lumber constantly increasing, it is be- coming an important matter to find sub- stitufpn for f>iin Tnnterial As a rule we therefor, must be used for the sidos. We have tried concrete construction work, also some bench construction of iron and terra cotta, also wooden bench construc- tion. The object of this experimental work is, first, to determine the relative cost of the different kinds of material, and second, the difference in growth of crops when produced on solid beds as compared to raised benches. As already explained, it is settled in our mind that solid beds are more desirable for violet culture than raised benches. Whether Wm. P. Craig BULBS and PLANTS 1305 Filbert St., PHILADELPHIA, PA. Mention The Rerlew when you write. do not advocate the growing of violets on benches. In some cases, however, it is necessary to do this. Even if solid beds are used, wood, or some substitute this is true of carnations we are not yet ready to say. Regarding the cost of construction of the different kinds of beds, we have 40 The Weekly Florists' Review* Mat 21. 1908. definite figures at hand, showing the cost per square foot of bed space for the three kinds of construction, namely, raised wooden benches, solid beds with walls of concrete sixteen inches high and four inches thick, and raised beds with iron frames apd tile bottoms. The rela- tive cost is: For the wooden benches, 12^ cents per square foot of bed space; 11 cents for the solid beds with concrete walls, and 17 cents per square foot for the iron frame benches with tile bottoms. The cost per plant for carnations is 9 cents per plant for the wooden benches, 8 cents for the solid beds with concrete walls, and 12 cents for the iron frame benches with tile bottoms. The cost per plant for violets is 6 cents for the wooden benches, 5*4 cents for the solid beds with concrete walls, and 8.6 cents for the raised beds with iron frames and tile bottoms. Thus it appears that, taking the first cost of construction, the solid beds with concrete walls are the cheapest. There is no question as to their durability. Wooden benches under ordinary construc- tion will begin to rot out the second year and by the third or fourth year will have to be in large measure replaced. I have probably now devoted all the time necessary to the construction of the houses and would next invite atten- tion to an important factor in the pro- duction of any crop under glass and es- pecially the violet, namely, the soil. (To be Continued.) CATTLEYAS. . (Continued From Page 18.) heating pipes with a strong solution of the same. Red spider is sometimes bothersome, but it can be kept in check by proper syringing. Snails and woodlice are also injurious, but can be trapped with hol- lowed potatoes set between the pots, or with lettuce or cabbage leaves. If it is possible to do so, it is well to empty the greenhouse each year for a few days for the purpose of painting, etc. At this time the house may be fumigated with a double strength of hydrocyanic acid gas to kill all insects. If the insects are very troublesome, hydrocyanic acid gas may be used in safe quantities while the plants are in the house. Cattleyas are sometimes injured by what is known as black spot. This is invariably caused by too much shade, overwatering or by syringing too late in the afternoon. The foliage of the plants should be dry before evening. However, syringing should be indulged in every bright day to prevent insects from getting a foothold. Give plenty of ventilation whenever possible and there will be little danger from black spot. Buyins: Stock. By a careful selection of species and varieties a constant succession of bloom may be maintained. The best- way to purchase cattleyas, if for a large collec- tion, is by the case, just imported. In this way many fine varieties are secured, including the white, or albino forms. When only a few plants are wanted it it best to buy some unestablished plants from reputable dealers, and in this way there is a chance of getting some excep- tional varieties. After the plants have once flowered with the dealer he is able to select the finest forms to sell at high Plants.... CABBAGE- Wakefield, ■ L. I.

The heavy shipments of cattleyas from the tropics during the last few years, and the limitation of the natural sup- ply, will soon cause the prices to ad- vance, and as the demand for cattleyas is increasing greatly each year we may expect the price to advance at almost any time. However, there need be no great concern for the cattleya supply of the future. Cattleyas are being raised from seed extensively in Europe and in this country. The high prices now ob- tained for hybrids will soon be a thing of the past. They will soon be within the reach of those with a moderate purse. The chief advantage in having a collec- tion of hybrids is that they have no de- cided period of rest. They bloonl more than once each year, and for this reason are cultivated with greater ease.

Not only is more moisture at the roots needed, but more atmospheric moisture is also necessary. The amount of atmospheric moisture must be judi- ciously regulated. In this the weather conditions must be taken into considera- tion. 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 temperature suflBciently low, but the moisture should be so applied that it will be pretty well dried out before the THE cost of labor saved ' in six months will buy and Install a Skinner Sys- tem of Greenhouse Irri- gation.

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 overcharged with moisture is productive of fungous diseases, which often prove quite troublesome to the grower of to- matoes 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 un- doubtedly a fungus, which breaks out in yellow spots, usually on the older leaves, and if not checked will soon spread and destroy the whole leaf. The regulation of atmospheric moisture, as I have stated above, is one of the best prevent- ive measures, and a dusting with lime and sulphur mixed in about equal pro- portions and applied when the foliage is dry is good for preventing the spread of the disease. We have tried Bordeaux mixture with fair success, but it leaves the plants unsightly and we have not found it any more efficacious in prevent- ing the spread of the disease than the lime and sulphur.

Thelemanniana is to select a dark day for potting when possible, and at this season of the year to nip the tops back well, also seeing that they are well shaded and kept free from draughts for a few days. I cannot think of any other sugges- tion to oflfer and can see no reason why, if the plants are left a reasonable time in the cutting bed, they should not com- mence to grow as soon as potted. During our warm spring and summer weather it is always necessary to be a little more careful in these details than at an earlier or later time, and although the cuttings root more quickly, they must be carefully nipped back if drawn up too much and the top must be shortened in proportion to the roots, which should not be broken if handled gently. O. SAN FRANCISCO. TheMaiicet I have interviewed most of the larger retail firms in San Francisco and vicin- ity during the last few days, with the object of ascertaining whether or not the coming of the long looked for fleet proved to be of any advantage to the trade. With the exception of the green goods men, who seem to have had the entire cream of the extra business, I have only found three firms that will admit that the last week's receipts were up to expectations. Ninety per cent of the retailers claimed that business was from twenty to thirty-three per cent less than that of last year, and a few said the re- ceipts were about equal to those of that time. From the piles of flowers seen in the stores on every hand, it is evident that the retailers expected to sell quite a quantity to the 100,000 or more people that are in town now, and such an expec- tation was reasonable enough. But a summary at this time shows that the pub- lic spent all its spare cash for flags and banners and such patriotic emblems, and did not patronize the florists to any ex- tent. In my inquiries, I called on one of our largest retailers, who was being im- portuned by a member of the finance committee of the fleet celebration for a donation, and was rather surprised to Petooias Petunias Seedlings of my Champion strain of Giants of California and Ruffled Giants, from flats and 2-inch pots, $1.50 and $3.00 per 100.

I did this much against my will, but I gave it just the same, and now, in addition to this, you wish me to further subscribe $100. Well — nothing doing." This was probably an extreme case, but I have ample evidence that the com- ing of the fleet was much more of a financial loss to the retailers than any- thing else. Whatever benefit may have accrued to other lines of trade in a gen- eral way, the benefits were all divided among the hotels, restaurants, saloons and, last but not least, the railroad and street car companies.

Fallon, the florist of Eoanoke, Va!, will establish a $5,000 nursery at Winston Salem, N. C, this spring. A Texas nurseryman comes to the front with a dwarf pecan tree. There are various reasons why such a tree will prove popular. It is reported that 75,000 rose plants are going into the field at Charlotte, N. C, where a son of Antoine Wintzer, of Dingee & Conard Co., West Grove, Pa., recently leased four acres of land. N. T. NiELSON, of Sparks, Nev., who at present has two acres devoted to the raising of fruit and ornamental trees, is negotiating for the purchase of more land, with a view to making his nursery the largest in the state. The "corn special" has become a regular thing on the railroads of the prairie states, but it remained for the Spokane & Inland Railway, operating in the state of Washington, to put out a fruit train to teach the farmers how to grow winter apples. The Chicago nurserymen, represented by B. E. Gage and Carl Cropp, are ar- ranging for the reception of members of the trade passing through Chicago June 9 en route to the annual convention of the American Association of Nursery- men at Milwaukee June 10 to 12. G. L. Taber, proprietor of the Glen St. Mary Nurseries, Glen St. Mary, Fla., arrived at New York on the last Clyde line steamer from Jacksonville. He was accompanied by his family and will spend the summer at the eastern resorts. He reports an excellent season, but cut short by warm weather at an earlier date than usual. At the last session of the Mississippi legislature a nursery inspection law was passed, similar in its provisions to those of other southern states. Prof. Glenn W. Herrick, the state entomologist, is making preparations for ,the enforce- ment of the law. His first step will be the inspection of every nursery in the state and the interception of infested stock from other states; then he will take up the cleaning up of the orchards. SHRUB JOTTINGS. Prunus maritima, better known as the beach plum, was a snowy mass of flow- ers in Massachusetts May 16. This shrub is somewhat decumbent in habit, carries a good many spines and the branches are warty. It is found naturally from New Brunswick and the Great Lakes to Virginia. The leaves, which are dark green in summer, take on pleasing yellow and orange tints in the fall. The pur- plish-colored fruits, which are covered with a delicate bloom, have a good flavor and make excellent preserves. For sea- shore planting and bleak locations this is one of the best shrubs to grow.

SMITH COMPANY, GtDeva, N. Y, 700 Acres also effective in groups or dotted along the edge of woodlands. Prunus pumila, the sand cherry, is a native of the United States, growing from Maine and Manitoba south to Vir- ginia. The foliage, which is green above, is whitened beneath and in fall is attractive with tints of yellow and red. The numerous clusters of white flowers and dark purple fruit are also prime at- tractions. For naturalizing purposes this is a useful shrub. At present a watchful eye is necessary, as tent cater- pillars have a special fondness for this and one or two allied species. Syringa oblata, with flowers open in New England May 6, is the earliest of the lilacs to bloom. All the varieties of this beautiful family are carrying an un- usual wealth of bloom this season. S. oblata 's chief merit is its early bloom- ing. The panicles lack the size and brilliant colors of the later varieties, being of a light mauve color. The foliage is handsome in fall. While the majority of the lilacs hold their green color until frost removes them, S. oblata 's leaves take on a beautiful deep red hue. REAPPRAISEMENTS.

J. indicates that the question whether rho- dodendron and azalea seedlings are "evergreen" has been definitely settled by the court decision recently published in the Eeview. The letter is as follows : The Department Is In receipt of a letter from the United States attorney for the southern dis- trict of New York, in which he reports that suit 4136, United States t. Ouwerkerk, was recently decided by the United States circuit court of appeals for the second circuit adversely to the government. The merchandise In suit consisted of certain trees and shrubs, which were assessed with duty as "nursery stock" at the rate of 25 per cent ad valorem, and was held by the court to be properly dutiable as "evergreen seedlings" at the rate of |1 per thousand and 15 per cent ad valorem. The Attorney-General advises the Department that no further proceedings will be directed in this case, and you are, therefore, hereby au- thorlKed to forward the usual certified statement for the refund of duties exacted in excess In settlement thereof. DEUTZIAS. Few shrubs excel the deutzias for showy blossoms in the early summer. The flower clusters are usually white, displayed prominently and with pro- fuse prodigality, springing from the young wood of the previous year's growth. The flowers do not last long when cut, but their showy effect, with gracefully arching sprays, is well worth enjoying. Most of the species respond readily to cultivation in any fairly good soil, when it is well drained. Many of the best kinds are hardy even in the New England states. Deutzias should be pruned any time after the leaves have fallen in the late fall or during the winter. The young wood of the previous year's growth must not be cut back, but the old flowering sprays should be removed and weak, spindling wood and decrepit branches cut out. The plants ate remarkably free from the attacks of insect pests. In a recent press notice of the Na- tional Council of Horticulture public at- tention is specially called to Deutzia gracilia, native of Japan, a low, neat- growing shrub seldom over two feet and a half high, with branches slightly arch- ing, from which panicles of white blos- soms are abundantly produced. It comes into bloom the first week in June. It is well adapted for planting in the fore- ground of tall shrubs of similar habit and for massing and grouping at the foundations of buildings, where tall shrubs cannot be used. This is one of the easiest shrubs to force into bloom in a greenhouse. Deutzia parviflora is a native of northern China and the Amoor country. It is perhaps one of the hardiest species and comes into bloom a week or so after the D. gracilis.

It was the Ke- serve Trust Co., with a capital and sur- plus of $300,000 and liabilities of $2,700,000. It made an assignment to the Superior Savings and Trust Co. A notice was posted saying that it was believed the assets would be suflScient to pay the depositors in full. Inability to realize on outstanding loans is said to have precipitated the failure. The bank was organized in 1903. NEW HAVEN, CONN. The regular meeting of the New Haven County Horticultural Society was held May 6. There was a large and enthusiastic attendance. The speaker of the evening was J. F. Huss, gardener at the fine Goodwin estate in Hartford. His subject was "Hardy Ferns and Their Uses," and he handled it in a masterful manner. The speaker at the close of his paper answered many questions on the subject, and was awarded a very hearty vote of thanks. The society took action to have Mr. Huss' paper printed in pamphlet form and distributed amoug the members, and others who may be interested. The society's garden competition has created a good deal of interest and the secretary reported many competitors. The entries will close May 31. It was voted to hold a rose show in June and a committee was appointed to attend to the same and report at next meeting. After the business meeting a social time was enjoyed at the expense of the society's bowling team and Cap- tain Nye awarded the prizes won by the following members: James Moore, two silver cups in high average handicap; William Dickie, most marks, second high single; E. Watson, high single; William Symon, third high average ; James Bruce, most marks ; D. Ferguson, second high average; T. Webster, fourth high average. T. Pettit in behalf of the bowling team presented Captain Nye with a gold watch fob. Mankato, Minn.— The Windmiller Co. recently donated 1,000 cut carnations, as a means of increasing the sum of money which is being raised here in order to secure the location of the new hospital at Mankato. The flowers were placed on sale in a drug store and the proceeds were added to the hospital fund. J. A. NELSON & CO. PEORIA, ILL.

W W 56 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ May 21, 1908. MONTREAL. <> .' Current Comment. : Bain, rain and cold is what we have been experiencing for some time. In many of the suburbs the river has com- pletely covered fields and roads, causing much damage. Business is quieting down, though there have been a number of large funerals recently, at which some beauti- ful designs were seen. The annual horse show has given us all a little work, such as decorations for luncheons and dinners. One of the best was done by Sir William Van Home's gardener, F. Smith. On this occasion jonquils were used in abundance all over the house. At Campbell's some splendid pink peonies were shown last week, and also good American Beauties. Bedding plants of all varieties are to be seen in every florist's store. J. Bennett has been confined to the house with a touch of the grippe. Tommy. ALBANY, N. Y. The Albany Florists' Club met May 7 in H. G. Eyres', at South Knox and Morris streets. Charles Sanders, fore- man for the establishment, exhibited a seedling geranium with bright scarlet flowers of unusual size. Ho told of his life work also in an interesting manner. In about two years he would have com- pleted half a century in the occupation. John J. Walsh, head gardener of Washington park, and J. Lang were made members. PEORIA, ILL. On account of the excessive rains, most of the bottom land here is under water and the Illinois river is still ris- ing. On the uplands, however, garden truck in sandy soil looks well and prices are fair. There is a poor prospect for a crop of corn, for it cannot be planted while these rains continue and it is now time for the seed to be in the ground. Greenhouse and hotbed crops were good the latter part of the season. There is every year a great deal of garden truck grown here and quite a lot sent out of town. We have too much for home consumption. There is also considerable fruit grown here, but we had heavy spring frosts and the prospect for a fruit crop is not encouraging. J. L. H. East Hamilton, Mass.— Wallace H. Knowlton has increased his greenhouse business this spring, and is handling flowers as well as vegetables.

There is plenty of good stock and everybody is busy with dinners, decora- tions, funeral work or working for or against the Sunday closing law. Among the florists who have gone on record as being against the Sunday closing law are Geo. C. Shaffer, F. H. Kramer and Henry Small. Peonies are now coming in more plentifully. United States Chief Forester Gifford Pinchot entertained the governors from the different states and the diplomatic corps. Gude Bros. Co. had the house decoration. Spring flowers were used, with American Beauties, throughout the house. At the banquet given to the governors and waterways commission by the Board of Trade at the New Willard hotel, J. H. Small & Sons bad the table decorations. There were a number of small tables. Vases of roses and spring flowers were used. F. H. Kramer reports a big business last week, in bedding stock and funeral work. Geo. Cook is a busy man at present ' with outdoor work. Christ Shellhorn's plant is still for sale. Gude Bros. Co. had the order for the firemen's memorial wreaths. They made sixty-seven of them, Friday, May 15. A wreath is placed on the grave of each deceased fi^reman. The Sunday closing bill, which was re- ported favorably from the District com- mittee May 1, by Senator Johnston, of Alabama, passed the senate May 15 with no material changes, all the committee amendments being agreed to. If it passes the house this week, with no ad- ditional amendments, it will become a law this year. A. Gude dropped in at the sale of a defunct lumber company and bought 50,000 feet of lumber and 3,000 cedar posts. Then he bought the firm 's wagon to haul the purchase home with. The auctioneer stopped the sale long enough to inquire if the gentleman from Ana- costia did not want to buy the site to erect some greenhouses. O. O.

ONCINNATL The Market We have been obliged to live through another week of bad buainess, and bad is a mild word to use in expressing it. The demand for stock of all kinds went down to about nothing. The wholesale men did their best to move the stock at some price and offered it at gift prices, with no takers. The buyers that did vis- it the wholesale district said there was no business, and they just picked up a little here and there to take care of what few orders they had. Thousands of flowers were sacrificed at starvation prices. The only busy people were the plants- men. The warm weather following the late cold spell has stimulated the demand for bedding stock and all of the grow- ers report a heavy demand. Especially was this true in the flower market, where several of the growers report selling out clean for the first time this season. Eoses, carnations, in fact, all the flow- ers which are in season, were coming in much more heavily than the demand re- quired and, from prospects, this week will be a repetition of last. We have to fall back upon Decoration day to bal- ance things up. We ought to have a good supply of stock then and also a good demand, which ought to mean good business. Let us hope! New ferns from the south are with us, but they are soft and the buyers pre- fer to pay the difference and get the cold storage stock, of which there is quite a lot still on the hands of the dealers, but it will doubtless all be used up by Decoration day. Various Notes. A sad occurrence was the running over and killing of a little girl by Julius Baer's automobile delivery wagon. The wagon was operated by Harry Baer and he was driving along Brehman street when the child ran right into the ma- chine. It was one of those accidents which could in no way be prevented and Harry Baer has been in every way ex- onerated in the matter. H. L. Lauscher, formerly employed here by W. K. Partridge, is visiting in this city, accompanied by his wife. They are on their way to Winona Lake, Ind., where they will spend the summer. John Walt and wife have both been sick with severe colds. Both are able to be about again. C. J. Ohmer. New Castle, Ind. — The Coatsworth property here has been sold to satisfy a mortgage against Lewis and Helen Coatsworth, held by the Citizens' State Bank. It was bid in by Weiland & Olinger for $10,262.35. Dracaena Indivisa FINE STOCK FOR HANGING BASKSTS Strong plants from 3-incb pots, $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. 250 at 1000 rate VICK & HILL CO. P.

If the reader understands why a torch smokes, why a flat wick is used in a lamp, why a circular burner is provided for the student lamp, why a chimney ia provided for oil lamps, why a fish tail flame was used in early gas lighting, or why a vac- uum bulb is provided for the incandescent lamp; if he understands these things, he will, it is believed, be able easily to see what conditions are necessary for perfect combustion in boiler furnaces. If any fuel is to be burned without smoke it must be supplied with the cor- rect amount of air. The torch smokes because the large round wick brings up oil, especially in the center, to which air cannot be supplied. If the air supply through the center tube of our student lamp is shut off, a smoking flame re- sults. The candle with the small wick is ^.n advance over the candle supplied with the large wick. The flame from the flat wick has an extended surface for air supply, while the circular burner not only has maximum surface for air supply, but the air coming up through the center of the tube is heated, making it still better suited to aid combustion and burn a large amount of oil. Thus it is that we have successfully solved the problem of burning a large oil supply without smoke. If we try to increase the oil consumption and turn up our lamps too high, they smoke, and because they are in the room with us we immediately turn them down. Furnaces burning coal sometimes smoke just because they are forced too hard, and because the top of the chimney is not in the room, but in the public's pure air, we do not turn them down but let them smoke. Air correct in amount is a necessity for complete combustion and the simple experiments with our oil and gas flames should be sufficient evidence to us that only when we are able to supply our fur- naces with the correct amount of air shall we be able to control the smoke which it is so easy to make. How much easier our problem would be if, as in the lamp, we could see all that was taking place and could regulate all by a simple knurled brass handle! INSUFFICIENT BOILER CAPAQTY.

This year we wish to build a vegetable house, 16x50 feet, with a 2^-foot basement and a low roof. No side glass. This will be at right angles to the other house, and the boiler-room is 80 arranged as to open into both houses. Will our present boiler handle both houses? How much pipe should there be in each house — one house for a temperature of 60 degrees with an out- side temperature of 20 degrees below zero, the other house for vegetables! "We could probably get a good, cheap second- hand steam boiler here. Would it pay to change to steam heat? K. I. M. The boiler in question is not quite large enough to carry the present house, 30x70 feet, at 65 degrees. The piping is not quite suflScient for this temperature. Six- teen 1%-inch returns, with the three 3-inch flow pipes, would make the heating of the house easier. The proposed house, 16x50 feet, can be heated by using one 2% -inch flow pipe and twelve IV^-inch returns. An additional boiler with 750 square feet of heating capacity should be added, however. You would not be jus- tified in changing to steam. You could save a little on piping, but more care in firing would be necessary. Stick to hot water. L. C.

The Market The first part of last week business was not any too brisk, owing to the in- clemency of the weather, but the latter part, as usual, found stock, especially the kind used for the shipping trade, more lively. It is customary, at any rate, to look for Friday and Saturday as good days, even if the other days are slow. Last week found plenty of all kinds of stock to fill all orders.

With all young car- nations in the field, he is now busy trans- planting asters. Heitman & Baerman, carnation grow- ers in Wauwatosa, say they have not made much headway in getting stock into the field, as their soil is of a heavy nature and does not handle so readily as desired after the rainy spell, which has kept the most of them guessing for some time past. Manke Bros., of North Milwaukee, have been working early and late, taking advantage of all favorable weather. Nic Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, says, "I hope it won't rain for a while, so I can finish planting carnations, for it's about time they were all in the field." His indoor flowers are still of a fine quality, and quantity not wanting. The C. C. PoUworth Co. reports busi- ness good. The call for spring stock is especially lively. They have just received a carload of palms from Europe. The Holton & Hunkel Co. has its new range at Brown Deer all covered with glass and, with a large force of help and favorable weather, expects to complete the houses in ten or fourteen days.

The Market The cut flower trade here is good. There is a good demand for carnations. They are a little off crop now, around here; 35 cents per dozen retail is the price asked. One faker here takes up his stand every Saturday in front of the Parker house, with his usual bar- gains— carnations 25 cents per dozen and roses the same price. This is hardly fair to the uptown florists, who are under big expense, and the man who sells to these fakers is doing the retailers here an injustice. Good roses bring $1.50 per dozen. Bulb stock from indoors is about all gone. Tulips are in full bloom out- doors, and the parks and commons here present a gay appearance. Gladioli have now made their appearance here. Tomato plants are selling well. A great quantity of these is sold here an- nually. . Florists are now busy booking orders for Memorial day. There will be a good supply of stock here for the occasion. Various Notes. Wm. P. Peirce, on Union street, had a nice window display last Saturday. He had some choice carnation blooms. J. H. Cleary is -handling an immense lot of carnations daily. Hoxie, of Mat- tap'oisett, is now consigning to him his entire cut. , . u * A. B. Hathaway has a fine batch or geraniums for the spring trade. H. A. Jahn will have a good cut of carnations for Memorial day. He has most of his young stock already planted out. , _, . Funeral work is good here. This uses up lots of short stuff. E. H. Woodhouse will have a house of stocks for Memorial day which will be hard to beat. He is busy now planting trees and shrubs. We are now having fair, warm weather. W. L.

The slabs which form the surface of the bench are 15 inches wide and any length up to 26 inches. The height of the bench is 19 inches, 24 inches to top of 5-inch side board, making it a desirable working height. The slabs are burnt so as to be porous, and are provided with a ridge on either side of the bottom which fits into and interlocks in the upper end of standards or legs, and when the bench is set up it is impossible for it to fall down, no mortar or cement being required in the erection of the bench. Side boards are held in place by a small clamp, which is driven into the hollow space in the tile slab about every 4 or 5 feet apart. Steam pipes can be very easily arranged underneath or around the outside. ^ SOMK GOOD POINTS OF THX EVERLASTING TILE BENCH: Quicker to put up than a wooden bench. Does not require skilled labor to erect it. It is no hoiae for bugs. Will never sag or fall down, as it has more support than any other bench. Has plenty of drainage. It is porous, making it more practical from a grower's point of view. Never becomes unsightly or has to be repaired. It will last a lifetime. In filling this bench you can wheel on the tile without breaking it. Cleveland Cut Flower Co.

In the second place all of our mate- rial is cut and fitted at the factory by a special system which others have unsuc- cessfully tried to imitate, and when you come to put up your house everything will go in its right place without trouble— this means a great saving on the erecting. Last, but not least, the repair bills are cut in half, as we are so careful in.tbe making and In looking for the defects that our. material stands, the test, and your greenhouse stands by you.

This is peony season, and all the re- tail florists are making liberal use of this showy flower. The accompanying illustration is a portrait of Miss Beba McNamara, the retail florist at Omaha. The photograph was made at the home of J. F. Eosenfield, at West Point, Neb., about ten days ago and shows Miss Mc- Namara with her arms full of the Mme. Lebon peony, a beautiful, brilliant cherry red flower and one of the early bloom- ing sorts. Miss McNamara thinks there is no flower, unless it is the chrysanthe- mum, which is the equal of the peony for bold decorative effects, and she uses the peony extensively in her spring wed- ding work. Mr. Rosenfield says the peonies have been making rapid progress in the latter part of May, but that many of the buds were destroyed by frost at the end of April. Both Miss McNamara and Mr. Rosenfield agree that spring trade was excellent, with a prospect of first-class business through June, and Mr. Rosenfield says the popularity of the peony is only at a beginning; many orders already are being booked for plants for fall delivery. WEDDING LUCK. Every few days the florist is asked what "luck" goes with a wedding in a certain month. George C.

FUNERAL WORK. Odd Fellow Designs. The main feature in making up an Odd Fellow 's design is to work in two colors in such a way that the different links will be distinguishable. The links should have the appearance of being in- terlocked. This, of course, will be a hard matter to carry out on a small design, but on a large one can be easily accom- plished. ' Pillows. Of all the designs we are called upon to make, the pillow is no doubt the one most often asked for. There are an end- less number of ways of making pillows. Often you will run across a pillow made up so as to appear almost square. This spoils the effect. Each of the four ways bring a good price, as it can only be made up nicely in a large size. It should be made up so as to appear what the name implies — a roll of paper. Although lettering is fiot absolutely necessary, it looks well to have lettering on a scroll. The edges should be made carefully. "Where the scroll turns under, small galax leaves can be used nicely. A border of violets or some such flower looks well on a scroll. When no lettering is used, a large loose bunch will fill out the center nicely. ' r . The Sickle. Small flowers should be used in mak- ing up a sickle. Care shrfuld be taken when making the handle so that it is distinguishable from the rest of the piece. In fact, unless this is done the design will not look like much of any- thing. A good point is also essential. ' Square and Compass. As in the case of the Odd Fellow's de- sign, it is necessary to use two colors Miss Reba McNamara. sides should have that rounded in effect, which gives nice, pointed corners. Also, you must see that the top is not too flat. Just keep a freshly shaken up pillow, such as you see on the bed at home, in mind and you will not be so apt to go wrong. When lettering is put on the piece, avoid having it set so deep as to be almost invisible. Scroll or Roll of Honor. The scroll is a design that should al- when making up a square and compass, or any design of this class. See that the square is really square. The com- pass should be made of the darker flower and should appear to be resting on the square. The letter " G " should be made of wire and then covered with chenille. The Star. A star makes one of the prettiest of designs. Great care must be exercised so as to get good points. The center of ■(_?.»:^-.S< The Weekly Florists' Review. Mat 28, 1908. the piece should be high and it should taper toward the points. When called upon to make up a star for the ladies' auxiliary of the Masons or, in other words,' the Eastern Star, five colors are necessary, namely, red, blue, yellow, white and green. Each color should run to the center of the star, ending in a point. Bases for Various Designs. There are numerous ways of making up a base for designs. Often all that is needed is to cover the base with galax leaves. To do this nicely stem two to- gether, the same as for a wreath. Then commence at 'the bottom of the base and insert the leaves over one another, work- ing upward, the same as you work along in making a wreath of galax leaves. When your base is a long one, as on a gates ajar, a good plan is to arrange some flowers nicely on one side and bal- ance the design on the other side with some green, using probably some small cycas leaves in with the rest. On an extra large base some calla or other lilies look well. Many florists overdo the use of cycas leaves in a base. These look fine when used judiciously, but not when a number of 24-inch leaves are stuck in the base of a small design. When you have let- tering to put on a base, unless by spe- cial request, do not have the letters so large as to cover the whole base. Now, to make a long story short, there are a hundred and one ways of making up floral designs; in fact, no two are ever made just alike. Neither do any two florists make their work alike. As BEGONIAS. Hints on Handling Lorraine. At this season it will be timely to give a few hints on the care of winter-flower- ing begonias, especially Begonia Gloire de Lorraine and its types, for the time is close at hand when those who do not propagate their own stock will be re- ceiving their plants from the wholesale plantsman for growing on ana flower- ing. The propagation by leaf -cuttings takes place here from November till January. The stems of single leaves are inserted firmly in the sand bed, about one inch deep, where they remain from six to seven weeks. Great care is exercised in watering, and a temperature of 62 to 65 degrees at night is maintained during this period. In January, or when the leaves are well rooted, they are potted singly into 2-inch pots, in a compost of two parts loam and one part sand. Here one must exercise the greatest care in watering, as during continued damp and rainy weath- er they are liable to damp and rot off. From this time on, the night tempera- ture is kept at from 60 to 62 degrees. About June 1 these leaf cuttings should have become nice little plants, with several shoots coming up from the center of each one. They then are ready to ship, or to repot into 3-inch or 4-inch pots. At this time use two parts loam, one part sand, and about ten per cent of old, well-rotted cow manure. They should at all times be moderately shaded. The young plants like some sun. Lorraine Begonia from Leaf Cutting. this is a fact, it is impossible to make any set rules. Therefore my advice to the beginner is, when working on a de- sign, keep in mind the design, or rather article you are trying to represent, add- ing such embellishment as will add to the general appearance of the piece with- out making a wreath look like a dough- nut without a hole in it. Hugo Scheoeter. Westport, Md. — Louis Strunz says business has been very good and that he has no complaint to make of spring plant trade. but not too much. On the other hand, too deep shade does more harm than good. Watering at all times must be done carefully, for they don't like ex- tremes, either too Met, or too dry. Dur- ing the growing season, however, they require an abundance of water, but should be allowed to dry out fairly well every time, then watered thoroughly. The final repotting of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine and its varieties is done in August, into 6ineh or 7-inch pots. For this shift use two parts loam, one part sand, and one j)art well-rotted cow ma- nure. Allow plenty of space between the pots when placed on the bench. As a preventive from insects, tobacco stems are put between the pots, and these should be changed every four weeks. Do not syringe the plants overhead at any time. During continued dull or rainy weather, keep the plants and greenhouse as dry as possible. In September begin tying up. For training plants, one stick in the center is quite sufficient. During fall and win- ter months a temperature of 58 to 60 de- grees at night is enough for their well- being. " The culture of Lorraine is really quite simple, consisting principally of careful attention — failure, in nearly every case, is due to neglect — and I hope these few lines may help to put more growers on the right lines for success with this beau- tiful winter-flowering plant. - ., - J. A. Peterson. DRYING OFF CALLAS. How soon, and how, should callas be dried off for the summer? The plants in question are large ones and have been in a solid bench all winter. Should the plants or bulbs be lifted or left in the bench? Should water be withheld alto- gether, or daily syringings be given ? How soon in the fall can they be started and in what manner? This is our first at- tempt at solid bench planting for cut- ting and has been much more satisfac- tory than pot culture. X*. The blooming period for callas being now practically over, the callas should be kept drier at the root from this time. In the case of pot plants, these can be laid on their sides outdoors in a sunny spot. It is not wise to dry off too sud- denly. If, however, you want to use the bench for some summer crop, you can dig them up now, packing them in boxes of earth, and stand either on an unoc- cupied bench or outdoors. Give them a little water after lifting and light syringings for a couple of weeks. Then keep quite dry. When the foliage has disappeared, take out the tubers and store in dry sand until you are ready for replanting. If you wish to increase your plants, select a number of the longer offsets and plant outdoors. These will make quite strong stock by fall and will bloom well next winter. You can either plant the tubers directly into the benches or start separately in pots. If you plant in the benches, be careful not to over- water for a time, or the tubers are liable to decay. I prefer starting them in pots outdoors before planting inside. The beginning of August is a suitable time to start the tubers. C. W. EXPERIENCE IS BEST TEACHER. "Experience has taught me," said Wm. Turner, in a recent address before the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, "that some soils will take much inore fertilizer than others. I claim there can be no hard and fast lines laid down in regard to how much fertilizer a certain crop shall receive for best results. My theory has always been that each grower in different localities, and different soils, by studying the condition of his grow- ing crops, is the best judge as to how much feeding will be of benefit. I have no doubt there are various opinions on this important subject, but the grower who carves his own road, using his own good judgment, will usually come out the .^:^A-' ^r^■i\ .! -'i •■•'■■ ': -^ Max 28, 1Q08. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ most successful. We know to produce good crops, potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen is a necessity. This should be applied to the soil in some shape or form. I am confident whoever has given this question study and deep thought will stand by his own good judg- ment; self-taught experience one never forgets. ' ' GREENHOUSE MATERIALS. Experiments in Prevention of Decay. During the coming year the govem- ■ment will extend its experiments in wood preservation to cover an entirely new field — the work of treating greenhouse timbers. Decay takes place very rapidly under the conditions of high humidity always found in greenhouses and horticultural buildings. The timber at present em- ployed in the construction of such buildings consists for the most part of the naturally durable and relatively ex- pensive kinds, such as select cypress and white pine. By a preservation treat- ment other cheaper and less durable spe- cies can probably be successfully substi- tuted for them, and this can be done at a low cost. In the treatment of greenhouse tim- bers several problems must be solved. For instance, it is desirable that the wood used in greenhouse construction be painted white, in order that it will re- fleet as much light as possible. Conse- quently, a preservative must be use* which will allow the treated timbers to hold a coat of white paint. Again, no preservative can be used which will in any degree affect the growing plants. It is probable, however, that these diffi- culties can be overcome, and the com- pletion of the investigation will be watched with interest. The investigations in wood preserva- tion by the use of creosote, which la nothing more than the dead oil of coal tar and of zinc chloride, is considered of such importance by the government that one branch of a bureau in the United States Department of Agricul- ture— the Office of Wood Preservation in the Forest Service — is given over en- tirely to the work of experiments in co- operation with railroad companies, min- ing corporations and individuals who de- sire to prolong the life of the timber which they use. Advice and practical assistance are furnished to all who re- quest it of the forester at Washington.

The accompanying illustration shows one of the greenhouses of the Hyde Park noral Co., Austin, Tex., and in the fore- ground a row of Salvia Snowdrift, of which Edgar Hall, treasurer of the com- pany, says : ' * This is a new pure white salvia we have here. It is perfectly hardy, more so than the Shasta daisy, and it stands the sun much better. It is a perennial, coming year after year from the same root, and can be propa- gated readily by cuttings and also comes true from seed. We never have seen such a salvia, nor have we seen it de- scribed in any trade catalogue. If there is anything like it we should be glad to hear of it." The salvia is a large genus, Bailey stating that it includes about 650 species. The most widely used of all salvias cul- tivated for ornament is, of course. Sal- via splendens, the scarlet sage. A num- ber of species are hardy and of this class there are several with white forms. '■WH»%'W'»>^hir»» SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS Lorraine Begonias. It is not too late even now to take any nice bottom cuttings from your old stock plants of Lorraine begonias. These will root quite readily in sand and make nice little specimens before Christmas. Plants grown from cuttings are really preferable to those produced from leaves, having a more compact habit and proving more floriferous. Of course, some buyers criticise Gloire de Lorraine because it carries too many flowers, preferring the looser habited plants grown from leaf cuttings, but the majority will be found to choose the other type. It is yet a trifle early to move these begonias into frames. When making their growth they seem to relish fairly warm treatment. Thus we have better success with them in a house kept somewhat close. Do not allow the early rooted cuttings to become potbound, or they will never make presentable plants. Avoid large shifts and make the compost light and porous, always using a good proportion of flaky leaf-mold and sand. These begonias do not want a heavily shaded house, just sufficient whitening on the glass to break the sun's direct rays. Nephrolepis. With the passing of Memorial day and the cleaning out of quantities of bedding plants and miscellaneous cut flowers for that occasion, you will now have a good deal of empty bench space. Probably you will be needing some of this for your chrysanthemums, but you can no doubt spare at least one bench to plant out a good batch of nephrolepis runners. If gotten in at once, kept shaded and sprayed overhead for a time, these will speedily take hold of the soil and it is really surprising the growth they will make before fall. If you can spare no greenhouse bench and have considerable coldframe sashes, you can utilize a few of these to good advantage. Shade the glass well. Keep close for a time, but air more freely as the plants become established. AUamandas. With the increased solar heat, alla- mandas are now growing freely, some, in fact, already showing their flowers. The climbing varieties, such as Hendersoni and grandiflora, should have been given a rich surface dressing some time ago. This will now be well filled with active roots, and liquid manure will be bene- ficial if applied once a week. The vari- ety Williamsi makes an ideal pot plant for summer use, being used quite a little at Newport, E. I., and other fashionable summer reports. If your plants are straggly in habit, it will be best to pinch the soft shoots to try to get them more shapely. While familiarly known as stove plants, the allamandas all succeed finely in any ordinary greenhouse in summer, and even outdoors they will grow and flower satisfactorily. To in- crease your stock, soft cuttings taken off with a heel will now root freely in sand. Asters. The earliest batch of asters planted under glass is now growing apace, the flower stalks being already some inches in height. Keep the surface soil stirred, but do not overwater. They need a gen- erous water supply when the benches r.ic filled with roots, but too much now may produce stem-rot. Keep the plants in the field constantly cultivated. The flow- ers they will furnish will be of great value, coming in as they do when carna- tions are puny. It is not too late to sow successional batches of seed; in fact, such sorts as Dwarf Chrysanthemum and Victoria can be started as late as the last of June. With Semple's Comet and Ostrich Plume it is better not to sow after the first week in June. While th« late sowings can be made outdoors, it is better to use coldframes for this pur- pose, where water can be supplied when required. Gardenias. V; ; Except where they are being specially grown for summer flowering, the gar- denia season under glass is practically over. It does not pay to carry over old plants; at least, such has been our own experience. A good stock of cuttings in- serted in sand now, kept well shaded, saturated with water and given a close house with a night temperature of 70 to 75 degrees, will be ready to pot off in four weeks or even less. If you want to have success in rooting gardenias, re- member that heat and abundant moist- ure at the root are vital essentials. Having obtained all the cuttings you want, get rid of the old plants, as they are veritable Meccas for mealy bug. Dahlias. Although dahlias can be planted a month hence and give good returns, it is better to get them into the ground now. If we were certain killing frosts would hold off until the middle of October, we would rather plant about the middle of June, but with our vicissitudes of cli- mate it is better to start the tubers now. Our experience has always been that the late planted stock, commencing to bloom with cool weather, gives much the finest flowers. Some of your roots will prob- ably throw up several shoots. It is bet- ter to reduce these to a solitary one. This, if pinched, will produce a nice, bushy plant, which will be almost self- supporting. Be sure that the cutworms, now fairly abundant, do not destroy your dahlia shoots as they appear. They have a special fondness for such succu- lent shoots. There are a number of sure cutworm cures on the market; any we have tried are of doubtful value. Poisoning with shorts sweetened with molasses, with Paris green added in suffi- cient strength to slightly color the whole, is effectual. Dusting soot around the plants has also been found an excellent remedy by many. Tender Nymphaeas. It is inadvisable to plant out the more tropical of the water lilies until summer weather seems settled, and the early part of June is usually selected as a suitable season for this work, although in such favored regions as Florida and Salvia Snowdrift.

In our north- ern states, however, we have the best suc- cess by waiting until early June. Such nymphaeas as Zanzibariensis, dentata and Devoniensis, with many others of more recent introduction, are among the tender group. Remember that none of these regal aquatics will thrive unless they have an ample supply of compost. As well try to grow good celery and cabbages in gravel as to plant water lilies in a pond without liberal beds of loam and cow manure. You cannot give the plants too much root run, and if one-fourth to one-third is cow manure you will not go far wrong. Brief Reminders. Get your new stock of bedding plants into the field without delay. Do not depend on any left-overs. Spray hardy roses with whale oil soap for aphis. This pest will also be found on euonymus and other shrubs, and should be given no quarter. Disbud peonies if you want large flow- ers. Mark specially good kinds as they flower, so that you can increase your stock of them. Do not neglect the ramblers for next Easter. These should now have made nice canes. Keep them tied up and do not stand them outdoors for some weeks yet. It is still seasonable to plant gladioli outdoors. These late planted bulbs are better set a trifle deeper than the ear- lier ones. Pot oflf cuttings of ficus rooted by the mossing process. Keep close and spray freely until well rooted in the pots. Spray Ccelogyne cristata overhead each afternoon, unless the weather is damp and cloudy. Keep show pelargoniums cool and shady, to prolong the flowering season. Plant out bouvardias, stevias and any other winter blooming stock needing field culture. Ply the cultivator freely among all outdoor crops. The more you stir the ground, the faster will the plants grow. Shear genistas into shape. Pot over and plunge outdoors. Do not plant these out, as they lift poorly. Keep the little primulas cool and airy. Prepare a frame for them as soon as the bedding rush is over. Spray candidum lilies and hollyhocks to counteract disease, using Bordeaux mixture of standard strength. THE TRADES' DISPLAY. Charles H. Keitsch has lost no time in getting to work since his appointment as superintendent of the trades exhibi- tion at the S. A. F. convention, to be held at Niagara Falls in August. At the time of the meeting of the directors of the society at Niagara Falls, arrange- ments were made for the use of the en- tire first floor of the Cataract House, which is one of the largest hotels at the Falls and one of the world's famous hos- telries. The main floor gives an area of nearly half an acre and there is outdoor space for those who wish to make such exhibits. The accompanying diagram shows the plan of the main floor of the hotel and the tabling which Mr. Keitsch will provide for exhibitors. The arrange- ment is perhaps the most convenient which it ever has been possible for the society to make for one of its annual meetings. Buffalo, as was emphasized at the time of the Pan-American exposition, is situ- ated within one night's ride of more peo- ple than are within an equal distance of any other American city. Niagara Falls is practically Buffalo, and probably the largest attendance ever recorded at an S. A. F. convention will be on hand Au- gust 18 to 22. Naturally the trade ex- hibition will be large. The address of Superintendent Keitsch is 810 Main street, Buffalo. DICKSONS' AT LAW IN DUBLIN. Referring to the cabled note on the Dickson case at Dublin, which appeared in the Review of May 14, 1908, an Eng- lish correspondent writes: Before the Master of the Rolls in the Chancery Court, Dublin, Ireland, an ac- tion has just been heard in which Alex- ander Dickson & Sons, Ltd., of Newtown- ards and Dublin, sought an injunction against Alexander Dickson & Sons, Woodlawn Nurseries, Dundrum, Dublin county, and at Parliament street, Dublin, restraining them from selling roses or seeds not grown or propagated by the plaintiff company as Dickson's roses or seeds or as Dickson's Irish roses or seeds, and from carrying on the business of nurserymen and seedsmen under the style of Alexander Dickson & Sons, with- out taking reasonable precautions to clearly distinguish the business from that of the plaintiff company. Mr. Henry, K. C, counsel for the plaintiff, said the business was founded by Alexander Dickson in 1836. In 1900 the business was formed into a company, trading as Alexander Dickson & Sons, Limited. Their business was known all over the world and their output amounted to nearly half a million roses annually. They had been awarded 2,850 prizes. ■if.' isri'^.::^:'.:'-. i- The Weekly Florists' Review^ Max 28, 1908. Tlie defendant company carried on busi- ness until a year or two ago as the Ashbourne Agricultural Co., of which Alexander Dickson Avas the head, as- sisted by two sons. The title was now changed and many people were misled by the advertisements of the defendant company, who, though their business was mainly a seed business, headed their ad- vertisements ' ' Alexander Dickson & Sons, Woodlawn Nurseries, the Home of the I?08e. " - Evidence was given by Alexander Dick- son and George Dickson, of the plain- tiff company, showing how customers had been misled. The treasurer of the Na- tional Rose Society and others gave evi- dence, and Alexander B. Scott, nursery- man, of Philadelphia, stated that there was no other Dickson known in Amer- ica but the plaintiff firm, ' Mr. Campbell, K. C., in opening the case for the defendant, said his client, Alexander Dickson, had all his life been engaged in Dublin in the seed trade and he did not enter the nursery trade until plaintiffs had seriously attacked him in the seed business. Defendant, in his • evidence, said that he bought the nuirsery at Dundrum in 1905. Jt would not have been convenient or desirable to carry on a nursery busi- ness under the title of the Ashbourne Agricultural Co. ; hence the title ' ' Alex- ander Dickson & Sons," but he admitted he was the sole proprietor; his sons were not partners in the business. Counsel replied on behalf of the plain- tiffs. On the legal side he admitted that every man was entitled to use his own name in carrying on his own trade,, but maintained that he h*d no right to use his own name for the passing off of his own goods as the goods of his namesake. In the present case he had used his own name plus an addition which was not true in fact, as there was no partner- . ship with his two sons. On the facts, t. counsel submitted that the defendant • had been proved to have used his name for the purpose of obtaining the advan- ^ tage of the reputation of the plaintiffs. ' The Master of the Rolls, in giving judgment, came to the conclusion that the defendant had used for the purpose of his advertisements a name to which he had no right, and a name which was assumed for the purpose of attracting business which belonged to another man. He adopted the name of Alexander Dick- son & Sons in revenge against the plain- tiff firm for having successfully com- peted with him for a heavy seed contract with the Agricultural Department. The injunction would be granted, with costs. SINGLE-STEMMED PLANTS. Varieties to Choose. Plants for growing to single stems should be rooted any time in the next ten days or so. The varieties selected for this work are, of course, the dwarfest kinds only, or at least they should be. I am no admirer of a 6-inch pot plant that is three feet high. It destroys the sense of proportion. Such plants look top-heavy, and nothing like a Merza or a Beatrice May that is not over a foot high and is crowned with an exhibition sized flower. Either of these varieties is ideal for this work and they are exhibited every year at the eastern shows in splendid condition. Other varieties that are always shown in the winning classes are Morton F. Plant, Mrs. A. J. Miller, Cheltoni, F. A. Cobbold, Nellie Pockett, Lady Hope- toun, Glenview, Mrs. G. Heaume and Mrs. H. Partridge. The last named seems to be one of the few varieties that are better when struck late than when started early. One reason for this is that it is a hard, stocky grower natu- rally, and when it is started too early and gets dried put a few times it takes on a hatd, knotty growth that is almost impossible to get growing right again. Such varieties need to be rushed along from start to finish and never allowed to linger by the wayside. The individuality of different vari- eties is one of the first things that strike the '■ observant grower, and the kinds that are known as poor doers are always kinds that are very marked in this respect. Take the case of Mon- tigny, for instance. This variety takes ten days longer to root than the average variety and its peculiar habit of wilting on a hot day, combined with a strong •lisposition on the part. of the flowers to spot and burn, has caused it to be dis- carded by many exhibitors. And yet, as it was set up last fall in New York, it was peerless in every way. Take also the case of Beatrice May. In the bands of some growers the foli- age of this variety spots so badly as to render the flowers almost unsalable. A little study and experiment have proved that in a semi-shaded situation, and with a good proportion of nitrogenous ma- nure applied, Beatrice May produced al- most as good foliage as any other va- riety. Glory of the Pacific and Polly Pose are two varieties that have never been very satisfactory with me. The plants made such short joints that they were little else but a bunch of leaves with a flower on top. Calling on a grower whose flowers of these varieties are al- ways fine, I found, his plants in an old house facing almost north and with heavy sashbars, the resulting shade be- ing just what these kinds needed to draw them up and give the stem a de- cent length. These instances could be multiplied almost indefinitely and only go to prove that in growing mums, as in anything else, the largest measure of success will come to the man who studies his business closely and does not leave everything to blind chance. Getting back to the cutting bench, there is still ample time to propagate for July planting, ilsing the midseason and late varieties. Tt is not so easy to root plants at this timfe of year" as it is in February, or March, unless one has a house for' the pul^ose. The cut- tings must be kept from wilting, if pos- sible, and to this end should be kept copiously sprayed, well shaded and free from drafts. , A drying wind blowing over the cuttings will do them serious harm. This can be avoided by the use of cheesecloth hanging in front of the bench. The stock plants from which the cut- tings are taken should not get too much water. If they are kept soaked all the time, the cuttings are very soft and will melt away like snow in a spring sun when put into the sand. The happy medium in watering gives cuttings with backbone enough to hold their own and root without so much trouble. Too Early Buds. Every spring we hear of some grower who is troubled by his plants running to bud instead of making growth, but never have I heard of such general com- plaint from the growers as this year, letters reaching me from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Illinois during the last week, and all on this subject. In many cases this can be traced directly to the carelessness or inexperience of the grower in repeatedly permitting the plants to get dust-dry, causing them to get hard and hidebound, which condi- tion will invariably produce a crop of buds. In other cases, varieties like W. R. Church, that always go to bud, will cause lots of trouble and worry. This year, however, I am inclined to believe that climatic conditions have had something to do with the case. It would be hard, perhaps, to say in just what ^yay this has been brought about, but when good and careful growers rise up to testify it can safely be said that the underlying cause is deeper than neglect. As to a cure for this trouble, I know • of none, only to keep the buds closely picked off, and the plant will eventually produce a shoot or sucker that will go ahead and take the lead. When one can get a sucker up from such a plant, it will often make a remarkable growth and catch up with plants that seemed to have it hopelessly beaten. This is M t-t. . Hat 28, 1008.

The following is a list of mums I have. Please arrange the names in the order in which they will bloom, the early, the mid-season and the late ones: White Chadwiek, Yellow Chadwick, White Bon- naffon, Monrovia, Geo. Pullman, Mrs, Geo. Pullman, Mrs. Perrin, Timothy Eaton, Yellow Eaton, Maj. Bonnaffon, Golden Wedding, C. Touset, Polly Rose, Beatrice May, Ivory, Mrs. Robinson and Alice Byron. L. G. If all the plants ^re propagated at the same time and handled the same, they will bloom naturally in the following order: Polly Rose, C. Touset, Beatrice May, Monrovia, Alice Byron, Ivory, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Perrin, Geo. Pullman, Mrs. Geo. Pullman, Timothy Eaton, Yel- low Eaton, Major Bonnaffon, White Bonnaffon, Golden Wedding, W. H. Chad- wick and Yellow Chadwick. I remarked at the beginning, "if they were handled the same," but if L. G. knows his business he can change con- ditions very materially. Thus Monro- via, if a bud is taken late in July, will develop by September 27, and, instead of being in fourth place, it can be moved to first place. If the early bud is not taken, Monrovia is naturally a second early variety. The same thing applies in the case of Alice Byron. From buds taken August 6 I have secured splendid flowers of this variety the first week in October. The whole thing is largely a matter of knowing how. It is the same with the later kinds. Some growers plant Bon- naffon late in July and by that means have it in good shape at Thanksgiving and later. Under ordinary conditions, and as grown by seventy-five per cent of the growers, the varieties will bloom in the order given. C. H. Totty. THE READERS' CORNER. Sweet Peas and Good Business. In the Review for May 21 I notice an article published from Philadelphia, which I quote in part: "We are told that outdoor sweet peas will be here be- fore next month, but it is difficult to verify this statement." In answer to this you may say for me that March 5 I planted the following varieties of sweet pea seed: Burpee's Earliest White, Blanche Ferry and Burpee's Earliest of All, and May 19 I cut a fine lot of blooms. Notwithstanding the so-called hard times, the Wheeling flower market in the last six months has been very satisfactory to the florists. The growers in and around Wheeling have also done well and expect Decoration day to bring much business. A. B. Butlee. PANSIES FOR WINTER. Please tell me the best pansy to bloom in the greenhouse and what time to sow the seed to bloom for Christmas. D. Z. There are now many choice strains of pansy seed purchasable. I have found Trimardeau satisfactory, the flowers be- ing large, of good substance and the range of colors wide and pleasing. I'o have flowers for Christmas, sow the seed outdoors the last week in July. Mulch with strawy manure after seed- ing, leaving this on until the seedlings appear. Shake the short manure out of the mulching before applying it. Transplant the seedlings into beds when large enough to handle, choosing a moist, cloudy day for the operation. Plant in the greenhouses the last part of Octo- ber, keeping the plants well up to the light. The temperature given single vio- lets, about 40 degrees at night, will suit pansies. This should not be exceeded, or harm will result. If you only wish to have a small batch of seedlings, use a coldframe and place a lath or canvas shading over the seeds to keep the ground cooler and moist until they germinate. Do not sow later than August 1. Pansies love a cool, moist house and will need a little shade from the sun by the end of February. C. W. Show Hotsse of W. W.

's inquiry, on page 11 of the Review of May 21, I would siay that we have occasionally had Buch experiences with geraniums as G. J. L. seems to have, and have never come to a satisfactory conclusion as to the real nature of the trouble. We are inclined to think that it is more of an affliction than a disease and that it is peculiar to certain varieties, especially those which have that fuzzy covering of the foliage, such as the sample sent. It is our opinion, based on careful ob- servation, but without any scientific ex- planation whatever, that it is caused by an overabundance of moisture in the houses, which is gathered and retained on the foliage of those particular varie- ties through a peculiarity of the condi- tion of the leaves, until they are scalded by the sun. As to the trouble appearing just at the time when the plants are wanted for the spring sales, it is just about that time that the sun commences to get power enough to burn. As for a remedy, or rather a preven- tive, we endeavor to keep the air as dry as possible, and give plenty of air, especially at night, as we believe that the trouble is caused more by the dew gathering at night than by watering. We also give a slight shading on very bright houses. R. A. Vincent. In the Review of May 21, G. J. L. writes about diseased geraniums. Last year I had, judging from his description, something of the same trouble. I ap- plied a couple of doses of nitrate of soda in solution and the plants recover- ed finely. Perhaps this may help G. J. L. L. C. POETER. COCKROACHES IN GREENHOUSES. A correspondent relates how a florist has discovered by accident a new way to catch cockroaches. A pint fruit jar containing a scrap of bacon happened to be left over night in one of the green- houses. Next morning a dozen or more imprisoned cockroaches were vainly try- ing to escape by climbing the slippery sides of the glass jar. The florist has succeeded in ridding his establishment of these pests, which formerly ate such high-priced plants as orchids and gar- denias. It is necessary to ^aste a piece of paper on the outside of the jar, so that the insects can get sufficient foothold to climb up into the trap. In the original case the label of the manufacturer sup- plied this need. This surely is as easy a way as any to clear out these pests. CARNATION NOTES.- VEST. Cultivating;. As soon as you have planted out all your young carnation plants, you should begin to use the cultivator to keep the soil surface broken up and mellow. Last year I recommended, and if you have not finished planting, will repeat that a good plan with soil which packs easily is to go over the day's planting each evening with the cultivator, to loosen the Boil between the rows, where it was tramped down in planting. If the soil is sandy and a little dry this is not es- sential, but in any case it will do no harm. If the plants are set in moist soil and they get a shower of rain within two or three days, it will suffice to start them off in nice shape, and a good rain once in about each week will kee^ them grow- ing as rapidly as is desirable. What you want is not so much large plants, as plants which are sturdy and short- jointed, with numerous breaks and- well shaped. Well shaped plants can only be had if the young plants stand up straight and, whenever you go over them in top- ping or for other reasons, always straight- en up any plants which may have been washed over by heavy rains or crowded over by the cultivator. Make a practice of cultivating once every week or oftener, but be sure you cultivate after every rain as soon as the ground can be worked. This helps to hold the moisture and prevents the soil from forming a crust and baking on top. A crust on the soil will not only allow the moisture to evaporate rapidly, but during the hot summer months it will also cause burning of the foliage, etc. You need not cultivate deeply; from one to two inches is deep enough. Below that the soil may as well be as firm as it is likely to become during the first sum- mer, after being plowed in the spring, providing the surface is kept loose. With the hand cultivators which are used these days it takes a man only a short time to run over an acre of ground and the oftener it is done the better for the plants. With each cultivator are several sets of tools and which ones to use must depend on your ground and the condition it is in. If you find it quite mellow and fine, you can use the rake tools. If there are many weeds coming up, use the knives and cut under the surface of the soil. On a hot day this will destroy all the young weeds. If, however, the soil is inclined to be lumpy, we use three of the single teeth, setting them so that they cover the space between the rows. We find these last named the handiest for general use, as they are strong and can be worked into the soil quite deeply, and they do not clog up easily. We plant our rows just far enough apart so that we need to go only once in each row. To space them' wider would mean only extra work in cultivating, without any benefit accruing therefrom. A. F. J. Baue. FLOODED FIELDS. My place is all under water, so that I cannot plant my carnations in the field. It will be a week or two at least before I can get them out and I do not know what to do with it. Could I plant them in the houses now for next winter's bloom f Some of my neighbors tell me they must be out for a while, but it seems to me that by the time I can get them planted in the field there would be so little time left that they would no more than get started to grow before they would have to be taken in again. What would you recommend? A. B. There is no reason why you could not plant your carnation plants inside, in- stead of in the field, providing you han- dle them properly and are willing to as- sume the extra work entailed. Your plants, if they are in good condition now to plant out, will need to be shifted at once into larger pots, as they will not stand in the small pots until you can get your beds ready for planting without getting potbound and stunted. This, in fact, is one of the main secrets of suc- cess with indoor culture. Keep the young plants on the move and never let them get stuntBd and hard. I would advise shifting them at once into larger pots. Give them enough of a shift to last nicely until you are ready to bench them. They should be nicely rooted through the new soil at that time. Plunge them to the rim either outside or inside, in cinders or sand, to keep them from drying out too much, as that will cause the plants to harden if the drying out is severe and recurs repeatedly. Then get your benches ready just as though you were going to plant from the field and set the plants the usual dis- tance apart. Syringing and shading will 'W. '• K ^ May 28, 1908.

After you get rid of the weeds you can mulch the beds to prevent drying out and then handle them as you would field-grown plants after they are estab- lished. • A. F.J.B. A MICHIGAN CARNATION HOUSE. Flint is not the metropolis of Michigan, but it nevertheless is able to boast of one of the largest and best kept cut flower growing establishments in the state. B. Hasselbring makes a specialty of carnations. The accompanying illus- tration will give an idea of the charac- ter of the construction of his range, which is built along the best commercial lines. This house shows a bench of Lady Bountiful photographed early in May and it will give carnation growers who thought their own crops heavy the idea that "there are others." The picture is interesting as showing that good culture must be practiced and that first-class re- sults are obtained. The men in the picture are Mr, Has- selbring's growers, George W. Ullrich, foreman, and Charles A. Hart, his as- sistant. LILIES IN ENGLAND. A writer in the Horticultural Adver- tiser (English) has this to say of the several varieties of Lilium longiflorum: "In the London market 'longi's' is the only name given to all the varieties, and since we have had them all the year through, most of which are from retarded bulbs, little attention has been given to those which would, under ordinary con- ditions, come into flower earliest. In gome reports I find Harrisii, the Ber- muda variety, is quoted, but I find that few growers handle this now, for up -to the present we are still getting supplies from retarded bulbs. Mr. Page, who grows upwards of 100,000, favors the variety longiflorum giganteum. The va- riety from Formosa is also grown; this is a newer sort, with broad petals of great substance, one of the best for those who do not have to pack, but it is easily damaged. The variety from the Azores is dwarf er, and makes the best pot plant. "T, Childs, another large grower, de- pends entirely on the orcUnary form of longiflorum as received from Japan, and lias had some good pot plants of various heights. Much depends upon the condi- tion and treatment of bulbs, and it is not always the largest that give the best results." THE FOUNDATION OF SUCCESS. [A paper by B. T. Galloway, chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, read before the Horticultural So- ciety of New York, May 13, 1908, continued from the Review of May 21.] Soil for Violet Growing. Almost any good loam soil will be found suitable for the violet. We prefer rather sandy loam to one in which clay predominates. Soils running from twelve to fifteen per cent clay give about the right physical properties. A soil that will grow a good crop of potatoes — 250 to 300 bushels per acre — will furnish the basis for a good violet crop, providing there is sufiicient organic matter in it. We prefer in, all cases to have some of this organic matter in the form of rot- ted turf, hence it is our practice to se- cure sod and allow this to rot down. To four parts of well-rotted sod soil we add one part of thoroughly decomposed stable manure. We have no preference in the matter of manure, as to whether it is from cows or horses. If it has been well handled. not fire-fanged, thoroughly decayed, we have never been able to see any diflfer- ence one way or the other. Horse ma- nure, however, is perhaps preferable, as it is more easily handled. We do not add any chemical fertilizers, nor do we advocate them where good decayed ma- nure is available. Florists are prone to err on the side of using too much of this sort of material. Our experimental work, extending over ten or fifteen years on various crops, leads us to believe that as a rule there is more harm done through the application of bone and sim- ilar fertilizer than there is real good se- cured. This may seem a somewhat broad statement, but it may be supported by experimental evidence. Another important consideration in the matter of soil is to have it thor- oughly worked over before it goes into the beds, and if practicable to let the frost work through it. To accomplish this we prefer to secure our soil in the fall, stack it fourteen to eighteen inches high and let it thoroughly freeze. This freezing destroys many grubs, nema- todes, and other pests, which are apt to be destructive the following season, un- less care is exercised. As one of the important factors con- nected with the foundations of success- ful violet growing, too much stress can- not be laid upon the necessity for a change of soil each year. I feel con; vinced that many of the failures in growing this crop may be traced directly to the non-recognition of this important matter. The soil looks so good in the spring, and it is such a job to take it out and put in fresh material, that the grower is prone to procrastinate and either try it over agaiu for another sea- son or else remove only a portion of it. We have always advocated the use of not less than six inches of fresh soil each season, believing it far cheaper to expend a few dollars in the preparation of good soil than it is to cut down the crop of flowers, either through starvation or the cumulative effect of diseases and I insects.

At this season mildew is one of our most persistent enemies, and to keep the plants clear of this pest requires great care and patience. With the houses left open so much and with the sudden, fre- quent fluctuations of temperature, we have just the conditions which suit the germination and spread of this fungus. Careful ventilation and a dusting of the flowers of sulphur once a week will help to keep it in check. Where there is a bad dose of it, shutting the ventilators while the sun is shining and applying the powder while the tempera- ture approaches the 100 degree mark will have a good effect. Care, however, should be taken not to let the house re- main long at this temperature, as the foliage may suffer. The Necessary Moisture. Young stock in pots will require care- ful watching. Where the pots are well filled with roots, they should be kept from any approach to drying out, as this gives them a check from which it takes them a long time to recover. In stock houses where part of the stock has been removed, it is well to keep the sand or ashes on the empty spaces of the bench well watered, as it helps to keep the house cool and sup- plies the requisite amount of moisture in the house. These small matters may seem trivial, but there is no condition too minute for the growei" to note if he wishes success. In recdiltlj^ planted houses where root action has well started, the surface of the soil should be cultivated at least once a week, to the depth of an inch. By keeping the surface of the soil in good condition, the plants can use more water, which means more rapid growth. RiBES. EEL WORMS ON ROSES. Some brother florists have proved to me that my roses have eel worms. Now, I had my young stock all ready and in pots. I am told that cuttings taken from plants that have eel worms are also affected. Is it necessary that I throw all this young stock away and buy new stock? If so, how could I know but the man_ I buy from may have eel worms in his stock also! Or can young plants in 2^ -inch pots be disinfected with formaldehyde or something else? My soil for this year was piled up last fall and mixed with manure. Had I better steam the soil, or what would you sug- gest! F. 8. W. It is still an unsettled question whether the worms ascend with the sap into "^e wood that would be suitable for cuttings or scions, but there is no doubt that cuttings taken from eel-infested stock are so low in vitality that they become an easy prey to the same trouble. In fact, they are very susceptible to all rose troubles and are risky stock. Because of the fact that eel worms seek protection by encysting themselves- Tb* Kdltor Is iyi*a**d whan a Reader presenta Ills ideas on any subject treated In eVK^ As experience Is the best teaober, so do we learn fastest br au ezcbanre of experiences.

I have not tried formal- dehyde, nor have I heard of anyone using it for this purpose and I am rather inclined to doubt its efficacy. Cooking the soil with steam will cer- tainly destroy the pests. Bisulphide of carbon, evaporated in the house, would, no doubt, destroy the pests, were it not for the fact that they are, because of the encysting, beyond the reach of the vapor. Bibes.

BREEDING WELD ROSES. [A paper by W. Van Fleet, Little Silver, N. J., read before the American Breeders' Asso- ciation, at the Washington convention, January 28 to 80, 1908.] When it is considered that more than 11,000 rose varieties were listed by Si- mon in 1906, that countless varieties have fallen out of record, that about a hun- dred new ones are commercially intro- duced each year and that of this vast host scarcely fifty, all told, are suited for culture in ordinary American gar- dens, it will be realized that rascal changes in the ideals and methods of breecBng are needed, if the really hardy garden types of roses are to be advanced in public favor. By hardiness is meant not only frost resistance, but resistance as well to fungous c'isorders, such as leaf mildew and black spot. The latter is the bane of modern rose gardens and effectually bars the outdoor cultivation of scores of the most desirable varieties of the hybrid perpetual and hybrid tea classes. Apparently the only means of overcoming this serious defect and of breeding in new and distinct " characters is by the free use of vigorous species and well fixed natural varieties. Something has been accomplished within the last fifteen years by the use of such robust Asiatic species as Eosa rugosa, R. Wichuraiana and E. multiflora, but the surface of hardy rose breeding possibili- ties can scarcely be said to have been scratched. Dif&cfilties of the Work. The work of breeding wild roses by selection and hybridization with kindred species and garden varieties is arduous, slow and affords only an infinitesimal chance for pecuniary returns. The stand- ard of perfection in rose blooms is now high and only those approaching in fin- ish the difficult varieties are likely to be tolerated, even if borne on the most rugged plants. The writer has been working with native and old-world spe- cies for many years with moderate suc- cess, but at nothing like the rate of progress that was hoped for at the out- set. Native roses are particularly try- ing, many appearing sterile with any but their own pollen, while others, though susceptible to hybridization, show little change in the cross-bred progeny. Bosa lucida rarely perfects seeds when treated with foreign pollen. Out of, perhaps, 1,000 pollinations with many species and varieties, perhaps a dozen hybrids of this common eastern species with R. rugosa and B. spinosissima were raised. In the mgosa cross the plant is more vigorous and thorny, with larger single flowers and broad, shining, but not rugose foli- age. The Scotch rose hybrid is of weak growth, with pale, imperfect blooms; not promising. Three successive generations of lucida-rugosa seedlings, most of them pollinated with other rose species and varieties, have been grown, but no fur- ther changes are apparent. R. lucida with R. Wichuraiana, however, has yield- ed one of the most robust hybrids w© have ever seen, of semi-sarmentose or climbing habit, with profuse corymbs of large, single, blush-white blooms. A plant in six years' growth, without sup- port, forms a mound of foliage eight feet high and more in diameter. Other Native Species. No success has rewarded attempts to breed B. Carolina, E. Fendleri, B. Wood- sii, B. Arkansana and B. Sayi, which lat- ter appears to be regarded as a variety May 28. 1008. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 13 of E. acicularis. All are completely ster- ile to foreign pollen under our cultural conditions. The self -fertilized seedlings of E. Sayi vary considerably and su- perior varieties might in time be devel- oped by selection. E. nitida has proved the most tractable of this type of rose. Very handsome hybrids with single to quite double blooms, of good size, ranging in color from light pink to deep crimson, have been secured by first crossing with dou- ble flowering varieties of E. rugosa and breeding the hybrids to the most robust hybrid perpetuals. The habit of the secondary crosses is upright, with abun- dant shining rugose foliage and prickly stems. They bloom abundantly in spring and occasionally during summer. The fruits are intermediate in size between those of the parent species, but endure until late autumn. E. setigera has been disappointing. There is little difficulty in securing dense- ly double-flowering hybrids of good color, but the plants fall off in vigor and do not maintain effective foliage. A pretty cross or two was made with tea roses, but the plants were tender and very sus- ceptible to mildew. The species is hardy, resistant and deserves further attention, as it is credited with producing Prairie Queen and other useful hardy climbers as a result of crossing with Noisette roses. Fordsn Species. E. ferruginea produced, when crossed with a hybrid China variety, a beautiful bright pink bloom of moderate size, so dense-double that it is a veritable pom- pon, borne on a stout, thornless plant with reddish foliage. Unfortunately, this very interesting hybrid is difficult to propagate and may soon be lost. E. moschata, crossed with garden va- rieties of the Bourbon rose, has given some attractive and free-blooming dwarf plants, with large single and double flow- ers, deep colors of red predominating. There is more tendency to stripings and variegations with lighter colors than in the seedlings of any other species. E. rubiginosa blends freely with many other hardy varieties, but crosses with difficulty, if at all, with roses contain- ing blQod of the tea-scented kinds. Sev- eral hundred seedlings have been raised, most of them equal, but few superior, to those produced by Lord Penzance, of England. A selected rubiginosa x Fisher Holmes (hybrid perpetual) grows ten feet high and produces very brilliant semi-double crimson flowers, followed by large clusters of conspicuous orange red fruits. (To be Continued.) WILLIAM H. ELLIOTT. The splendid Killamey roses grown at Madbury, N. H., and exhibited at Boston and Chicago recently, have drawn attention to William H. Elliott, the pro- ducer of these remarkable flowers. ^ Mr. Elliott was born at Lancaster, Wis., a little less than half a century ago. Leav- ing there when quite young, he went to New London, Conn. After leaving school he made up his mind to learn the florists' business and worked with the late John Spaulding, of that city, for several years. He next moved to Boston and first worked at Dorchester for a short time, going from there to the Wa- ban Eose Conservatories of E. M. Wood & Co. He acted as salesman for this well-known firm in Boston, New York and Philadelphia for between tw(jf and three years. Mr. Elliott next worked for J. Heustis, whose private place was run on a com- mercial basis. He was very success- full while here and, on leaving, purchased the W. C. Strong place in Brighton in 1884. His capital was small, but he had skill, ^it and a determination to suc- ceed. Eoses were the only flowers grown at Brighton until 1893, when the horti- cultural world was somewhat startled by the erection of the now well-known and lofty structure for the culture of As- paragus plumosus, which gave the build- er the title, still retained, of the "As- paragus King." In 1902 Mr. Elliott rather amazed local growers by the purchase of over 200 acres of land at Madbury, N. H. Their astonishment increased when it was found that he actually intended to erect green- houses so far away from Boston. His William H. ElUott. first big house was built in 1902. Beau- ties were first grown, these later being discarded for Liberty, which had to give way to Eichmond and Killarney, which are the reigning queens in the two mam- moth houses at Madbury. Splendid loam and convenience to the railroad make the New Hampshire establishment an ideal one. At Brighton, Bride and Maid are chiefly grown, also some summer roses. Asparagus plumosus and A. Spren- geri, with some pot chrysanthemums to complete the list. Mr. Elliott ever has been a man of few words, but whenever he has been inducfid to speak on any subject it has been found that his thoughts have not been idle. His ideas are practical and his elucidation of them always brief and to the point. No better illustration of his methods of thought can be found than his discussion of the best size of rose house at the Chicago meeting of the Eose Society. Mr. Elliott has ever been a stalwart supporter of the S. A. F., in which he has been a director. He is one of the best backers of the American Eose Society. He is one of the trustees of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society, of which he has been a member for many years. The Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Boston can count him among the pioneers who founded it in 1887. In 1888, 1889 and 1890 he filled the post of financial secretary in this society, being vice-presi- dent in 1894 and president in 1899 and 1900. He is a past director in the Park Street flower market JEind one of its strongest men. In the way of fraternal societies, Mr. Elliptt belongs only to the Eoyal Arcanum, which he counts among the best extant. The year before he purchased his present Brighton plant Mr. Elliott mar- ried his cousin. Miss Knight, of New London. Mrs. Elliott visits many of the conventions with lier husband and takes a keen interest in things horticultural. A family of five braw bairnies, three boys and two girls, make the comfortable Brighton home complete. The oldest son, George, has now been associated with his father at Madbury for a yeiar and prem- ises to be a "chip of the old block."- While a very hard working man, Mr. El- liott takes occasional recreations, the West Indies being his favorite objective point.

Palmer died at Otis, near Perkassie, Bucks county. Pa., May 20, aged 39 years. Mr. Palmer first came into prominence as a grower of Brides and Maids at Doylestown, Pa., about twelve years ago. He was an excellent example of the grower-salesman. When the Philadelphia Wholesale Flower Mar- ket was started, about five years ago, Mr. Palmer was elected treasurer. Later, failing health and reverses compelled him to dispose of his greenhouse busi- ness, and seek employment in the whole- sale commission business, where his for- mer customers gladly welcomed him. He was first with Eugene Bernheimer, and later with Alfred M. Campbell. Mr. Palmer was of a genial disposition and left a host of friends. He is survived by a widow, two sons and a daughter.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Incorporated by Act or Congress March 4, '01 Officers for 1908: President, F. H. Traendly, New York; vice-president, George W. McClure, Buffalo; secretary, Willis N. Rudd, Morgan Park, 111.; treasurer, H. B. Beatty, Pittsburg. Annual convention, Niagara Falls, August 18 to 21, 1908. First National Flower Show. Chicago, Novem- ber 9 to 15, 1908; W. F. Kasting, Buffalo, chairman. Results bring advertising. The Review brings results. The circulation of the Review is gre9le^^-in the State of New York than any otnfei State in the Union. Business in all lines in the grain states is just as good as it ever was, this spring, and possibly just a little bit bet- ter than before. J. H. BURDETT has begun the exploita- tion of tli^ natiopal flower show in the newspapers of the country, sending out the press notices with those of the Na- tional Council of Horticulture. The wistaria is a good vine for a trellis, but is somewhat coarse for veran- das, being better suited for the rustic house or pergola, where its delightful purple flowers hang in graceful profu- sion. The big department stores open with their customers what are called "accom- modation accounts." It is a term retail florists might well adopt, especially as accommodation accounts are understood to be payable monthly. William Scott, as chief of floriculture at the Pan-American Exposition, gave a demonstration of what a gardener who knows his business can do under circum- stances far from favorable for securing the results that are demanded. To those who are disinterested it is amusing to hear a man howl when he sees the things he has been accustomed to do every day done by the fellow in the next block. Who is doing a thing makes all the difference in the world, don't you know I August Rolker & Sons, New York, quote the following from a letter from August Haerens, of Somergem, Bel- gium: "As to the fan-shaped azaleas, it is strange that they find no more favor in America, while on the Continent everyone likes them at sight. Naturally, they can not be cheap, as they require too much care and labor, and take up as much house room as do the pyramids. But we intend to go ahead with them and grow from 300 to 500 every year." WILLIAM SCOTT. A Tribute. William Scott is no more! Thus an active life, a life replete with brilliant ideas and brilliant achievements along the lines of practical horticulture, has come to a close. Prienda and strangers alike, those who were privileged to know him intimately, as well as those who were guided by his practical advice and timely suggestions, through the horticultural press, will unite in mourning the great loss to horticul- ture. No longer will his brilliant pen, like a veritable beacon light, guide the novice and. the uninitiated along the path of practical floriculture. No longer will his voice be heard in counsel for the benefit of his brother fiorists throughout the American continent. His mental qualities, his keen judg- ment, his power of observation and his trained intellect have assigned him a place in the ranks of the very few men in the trade whose memory will live long after the present and rising generation of florists shall have joined the great majority. Well, and without any presumption on his part, might he have said with the great Russian poet Pushkin : ' ' My monu- ment is built, not of stone nor by hand, but of the work I have accomplished in life." ^ Great men are those who accomplish results, whether it be on the battlefield, in the legislative hall or in the humble greenhouse. Peace be to thy ashes, thou noble friend ! S. S. Skidelsky. THE WEATHER. The weather of the last week is sum- marized as follows : ' * Very heavy rains fell over a large part of Texas and gen- erally throughout Oklahoma and in por- tions of the upper Mississippi and Red River of the North valleys and northern Rocky Mountain regions. Damaging freshets occurred in Texas and much low land in Oklahoma and Louisiana was flooded. There were several local storms in the western portion of the upper lake region and also in Texas and portions of the South Atlantic states during the fore part of the week, but most of the country experienced no damaging local storms. There was much cloudiness in the Atlantic coast districts northward of Georgia. In Texas and from the up- per lake region westward to the north Pacific coast and elsewhere there was more than the usual sunshine." Mount Sterling, Ky. — Emil Fredrich, proprietor of the Model Greenhouse, says : ' * The trade this year has exceeded any previous season, in spite of the un- favorable weather. I more and more be- lieve that if florists would educate the people in the use of fine specimen plants, trade could be increased by at least two hundred per cent. In my house of 9,000 feet, at least two-thirds of my stock consists of large specimen plants, and at this writing. May 20, I have not a plant left except 200 geraniums which are not in bloom. While the cut flower trade has been rather dull for some months past, probably on account of the tobacco agitation in this section of Ken- tucky, the plant trade has well balanced the difference and the season generally has been satisfactory, ' ' Mai 28, 1908.

The Benthey-Coatsvvorth Co. has for a long time shipped stock from New Castle in corrugated pasteboard boxes. Peter Reinberg has not yet begun the new houses to be erected adjoining the range put up last year on ' ' the farm. " He is doing a large amount of rebuilding of benches at the home plant, using pecky cypress. C. W. McKellar keeps close tab on the engagement announcements and says the June crop of weddings will be up to the best previous records. It affects the orchid market. J. J. Kruchten says he is well pleased wifh the Decoration day prospects. The George Wittbold Co. reports being rushed to the limit and says the call for window-boxes, bedding out, etc., is fully up to any previous year. Already they are cleaned out of geraniums in, flower and are at their Avits' ends to find ma- terial to satisfy those customers who in- sist a window-box must make its best showing the day it is filled. Robert Groves, the Adams, Mass., fern man, is in Chicago for a few days, but says he has no more stock to offer. H. R. Hughes has put in another elabo rate window decoration for Memorial day and issued an advertising folder for distribution on the west side. There can be no question that such advertising as Hughes is doing pays handsomely. The Review is ahead of any other paper for florists and I cannot do M-itli- out it. — H. W. Wright, Amarillo, Tex. ST. LOUIS. The Market ^ The trade here saw no improvement as to business last week and everyone is having his troubles. The wholesaler com- plains of low prices, slow demand and large consignments of all kinds of stock. It was a pity to see so many good car- nations and roses go to Avaste as was the case last Aveek. This Aveek the whole- salers expect more trade, as Decoration day, Saturday, should clean up the sur- plus stock. The retailers say there is really nothing much going on except for funerals, a few small weddings and din- ners. Stock is selling so cheaply that a good order noAvadays brings a good profit. The plantsmen are complaining of too much rain, which is greatly inter- fering Avith their AAork, as the time is now liere Avhen plants should be out. The heavy Avind and rain storm of Sunday, May 24, did a great deal of damage to fine trees and shrubbery about the city and parks. Variotss Notes. We had Avith us last Aveek our old friend, Arnold Ringier, representing the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago. Mr. Rin- gier has been Avest and reports a good run of business. The Mullanphy Florist Co., on Grand avenue, reports having the order to fur- nish the bouquets and decorations for the high school and Yeatman school graduating classes. This store has also been quite busy of late Avith funeral work. Henry Ostertag furnished 600 Amer- ican Bcfiuties at the opening of the new Third National Bank at Broadway and Olive streets. The Bentzen Floral Co., Fred C. Weber, C. Young & Sons Co., and the Riessen Floral Co. had large designs to make. In fact, nearly eA'ery- one in the trade had a design or a large bunch to make for this opening. Fred Plant, of the Plant Seed Co., visited Chicago recently to attend the meeting of the Western Seedsmen 's As- sociation. Mr. Plant was much pleased Avith his A-isit, as his time while there Avas made enjoyable. A large delegation of seedsmen from here will attend the meeting of the American Seed Trade Association at Detroit, June 23 to 25. A large shipment of Japanese iris from the Yokohama Nursery Co. was refused by a consignee here. The ship- ment was placed in the hands of the St. Louis Seed Co. for disposal. The sad ncAvs of the death of our friend, William Scott, was a great shock in the trade here. The first news came through the Revieav and all are with me in expressing our deepest sympathy with the bereaved family. Charlie Kuehn, Henry Berning, Billy Smith and George Angermueller, the four bosses at the Avholesale houses, are ex- pected to take part in the ball game be- tween the Avholesale and retail teams at the florists' picnic giAen by the St. Louis Florists' Club for members and friends in July. Robert J. Windier is reported sick at one of the hospitals in the southern part of the city, having had an operation per- formed. From reports of friends who \isit him, he will be out in a AA-eek or ten days. In the meantime Rose Wind- ier is managing the Store. John Burke is making a grand show May 28, 1008.

Transient trade has been good the last week, only that stock is selling too cheap. Grimm & Gorley's delivery wagon was used for other purposes the last week than delivering flowers. It assisted in transporting $.50,000 in money for a banking house which was moving. The Florists' Club's trustees will visit Belleville this week to look over the grounds proposed for the club's annual outing in July. Charlie Wors has started out picking ferns in the country and is supj)!ying some of the wholesalers and retailers. His flower stand at Forest Park High- lands is doing a nice business at night. Henry Aue, on Mardel avenue, is send- ing to Kuehn the finest lily of the val- ley that comes to this market. It is a pity the demand for it is jiot better. The Henry Shaw gold medal, valued at .$2,5, will again be offered along with the Shaw premiums at the fall flower show given by the Horticultural Society. Last year it was taken by W. A. Manda with his new dracama. J. J. B. COLUMBUS, OHIO. ... . State of Trade. Trade has been fairly good in the cut flower line the last two weeks, with stock not overplentiful, except roses, which have been of good quality and in rather heavy crop. Carnations have been scarce and on several occasions were at a pre- mium. Trade has been heavy in the plant line, as the weather has opened up and everybody wants work done right away. Peonies have been coming in heavily and no doubt there will be a good supply for Decoration day. Svyeet peas are fine and find a ready sale. The first outdoor peas were cut here, by C. P. Torrey,, May 18, and were extra fine. Variottt Notes. The carnival held last week for the benefit of tVe Play Ground Association was a great success. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. and the Livingston Seed Co. made creditable displays. Everybody is looking forward to a heavy trade for Decoration day. The Florists' Club is getting busy now for the annual picnic, which will be held at Buckeye lake. The exact date has not been decided on, but no doubt it will be shortly after July 4. The Munk Floral Co. is cutting some fine Sweet peas and they find a ready sale. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. had a large funeral at Plain City, O., and had to send a man along with the work to take charge of it. Sherman Stephens reports heavy busi- ness in cemetery work. > C. A.

The Market. This should be the last week of de- pression for a while, for now comes Decoration day and then the largest crop of June weddings ever harvested in this vicinity. Society has its share of them, with elaborate decorations, which will furnish velvet for the leading retail flo- rists, and June is the month of wed- dings for all up-to-date families and brides, and so no retailer will miss his share. Decoration. • Say promises more general observance than ever before. Sun- day was Memorial Sunday in Brooklyn and many thousands marched to the cemeteries to decorate the nation's sol- diers', sailors' and marines' graves of all the wars. Many battalions of the Grand Army took part, and with them the cadets and church cadet organiza- tions. An enormous crowd witnessed the ceremony. The cut flower market will be com- pletely depleted the last of the week, in anticipation of the observance, and doubtless prices will advance considerably before Saturday. There is no encourag- ing change yet to report from last week's low level and there is still enough of everything, and to spare. Roses of all kinds are abundant. Carnations continue their record-breaking supply, and there is no shortage in any variety of flower the public demand requires. Peonies are now down to $2 \o $3 per hundred and great quantities have been coming from the south daily. The summer tempera- ture has doubtless come to stay. Sunday recorded 80 degrees and over in the shade. Various Notes. Next month comes the rose show in Bronx park and if Secretary Hammond will use his influence and act upon Dr. Britten's suggestion, so that the crowds who visit the parks on Saturday and Sunday can see the exhibition, there will be such a flower show as this city has never known. No other days in the week will develop more than the average interest and an opportunity for educa- tional effect will be lost of far-reaching Please discontinue my advertise- ments of Anthericums, Geraniums and Hydrangea cuttings in eV/k^ as I am about sold out..

The New 'York Florists' Club holds its monthly meeting Monday, June 8. Events are crowding upon the club that will keep it busy until September. Wednesday of this week is ladies' night, with the promise of a record crowd; every Friday evening, bowling ; rose night at the next meeting, with interesting ex- hibits; the outing July 1, for the success of which arrangements are already com- plete, and then the convention in August, with its special train and record-break- ing New York delegation. Surely a busy summer for the club. Chairman Eick- ards, the man of mystery, has an undi- vulged program and menu that will add to his popularity at the ladies' night, Wednesday, May 27. John Young and the other members of the bereaved family have the universal sympathy of all in the loss of his mother last week. Many beautiful floral tokens evidenced the love and veneration in which Mrs. Young was held by all who kne^ her. June 13 Charles L. Allen, of Queens, known and esteemed by every florist in the land, will celebrate his eightieth birthday. A member of the 100-year Club and an exponent of right living all his life, he bids fair to reach the century with health and faculties un- impaired, and sincere congratulations from every part of the United States and Canada will greet him as he records another mile-stone in his happy journey. John F. Marsden, of Far Rockaway, had a narrow escape last Friday in an auto accident, when in his own machine he collided with that of one of the bank- ing firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Both cars were wrecked and both men thrown twenty feet and rendered unconscious, but neither .was seriously injured. The importers are still busy. Nearly every one is bringing in hundreds of laurel trees in tubs by every steamer. There are no signs of depression in the seed and niirsery departments of the trade. After his first and enjoyable trip to Europe, H. Suzuki is again in New lork and will shortly return to Japan. He is a gentleman of most thorough horticul- tural training and knowledge and a gen- eral favorite with all who have made his acquaintance. F. W.

The death of William Scott came as a shock to many, though not unexpected. No man was more generally loved and esteemed among the horticulturists of this community. To many he was a personal friend. One of his oldest asso- ciates was John Birnie, who was a friend of nearly half a century. No one will be more regretfully missed at the August convention. At the wedding of Samuel Jacobs last week, a brother of Abraham, of J. K. Allen's staff, and Benjamin, of George Saltford's, George J. Allen and wife were among the guests, and as is usual at the weddings of florists the decorations were elaborate. If rumor speaks truly, there are a couple of old bachelors on Twenty-eighth street, among the wholesale florists, who will take advantage of the June mes- meric influence and join the great ma- jority. It is high time in both cases. There is a plan on foot to close all the wholesale stores at noon during July and August. The auctions still draw crowded houses, all of them, and the only prob- lem seems to be to get enough stock to offer. There is apparently a scarcity of good bedding stock and the demand has far exceeded all other seasons. Fruit trees, vines, small fruits, every- thing for the garden has sold well. Often the prices secured have been much in advance of regular wholesale quota- tions, thanks to the ambitious subur- banite. The Johnson Heating Co. is putting in two of its boilers at John N. May's, Summit, N. Y. The company has just finished changing the system from water to steam at A. J. Guttman's plant at Summit and at Eassbach & Son 's, Bloom- field, N. J. Bowling. New blood has been infused into the club and the average is rising. The tide is rather late, however, to reach high water mark of 155 before the contest for the Traendly transportation closes, so the president will not suffer a heavy draft on his resources for sporting pur- poses.

BOSTON. The Market. The near approach of Memorial day has now given a little fillip to busi- ness. It is true there is not much ad- vance in prices, but the market is bet- ter cleaned up and growers are quite optimistic over sales to be made later, in the week. Eoses a)re still abundant, with no advance in price except foi- the best colored varieties. As some growers are already emptying their houses, owing to unprofitable prices, there promises soon to be a shortening yp pf these. Carnations are in heavy crop and, in spite of the recent hot weather, the qual- ity holds remarkably good. Red vari- eties are in best request. Whites are always the slowest sale for Memorial day. There is a good supply of sweet peas, but the quality is rapidly de- teriorating. Of lilies there promises to be a full supply, also of such useful flowers as double feverfews, marguerites, stocks, candytuft, spiraea, gladioli and Spanish iris. Of Dutch bulbous stock there will be a smaller supply than had been an- ticipated, owing to the hot weather. There is an active call for bedding plants of all kinds, also for hydrangeas. Baby Rambler roses and other stock suitable for planting outdoors. At the Arnold Arboretum. . The lilacs at the Arnold arboretum were at their best May 24, the hot weather having sent them along rapidly. The flowering season for all shrubs is fully two weeks earlier than in 1907, lilacs last year being only in bud for Memorial day. The collection here com- prises about 150 varieties, many of these being Lemoine 's latest introductions. All are blooming with unusual freedom this .year and make a glorious showing at present. Specially noteworthy were the following varieties: In singles, Phile- mon, splendid dark purplish red ; Sou- venir de Ludwig Spaeth, similar to fore- going^ Goliath, soft pink, immense pan- icfes ; TWJbra tHanoniana, a little lighter than PHlem^il:' F.

Clarence, N. Y., May 23, 1908. Linne, reddish lilac ; Monument Carnot, lilac blue; Michael Buchner, lilac, very double; Comte de Kerchove, rose; Presi- dent Grevy, grand panicles, a fine blue. The Crataegus in hundreds of vari- eties are now blooming with unusual freedom, as are the different forms of Cornus florida. The loniceras are always good and the Azalea Ksempferi are show- ing up their brilliant trusses. Among the late crab-apples BechteJ's double- flowered variety, the finest of the whole r family,, i^ now at its best. The rhodo- dendrons are already opening their flow- ers and will be a glorious sight in a few days. Various Notes. We are. pleased to report Jackson Daw- son as., much improved, from his recent illness. The Boston park system is now un- usually attractive. Never were the cor- nus so fine, the winter having spared all the flower buds. In Franklin park the Lonicera Marrowi are worthy of a spe- cial visit. The spira;as, halesias, ker- rias, Crataegus, lilacs and many other trees and shrubs are also adding their quota to the glorious display and no visr - itor to Boston should omit a drive around the extensive and well cared for system under Superintendent Pettigrew 's charge. John Walsh & Son, of Melrose High- lands, report business the last season as. the best they have ever had, funeral and decorative orders being excejvtionally nu- merous. Daniel Iliffe is busy on heating con- tracts at the Plant estate, Groton, Conn.,, and reports trade as good. Some of the places suggested for the next picnic of the Gardeners' and Flo- rists ' Club were Riverside park, Randolph park. Pine Banks park, Medford, and Bass Point, Nahant. The executive com- mittee will soon decide on the location and it is planned to have the coming festival surpass all predecessors in in- teresting features. May up to date has proved an unusu- ally warm month and the mean tempera- ture promises to be higher than for a number of years. A year ago we had few outdoor flowers at Memorial day. This season many of the varieties in common use will be on the wane. Henry W. Robinson & Co. and Welch Bros, both anticipate a heavy Memorial day trade, advance orders being ahead of those in preceding years. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. have a fine display of their new seedling lily, longi- florum X Philippense, at their store. Some of the plants carry as many as nine flowers; others which bloomed in Decem- ber and January are again almost in bloom, showing the herbaceous nature of the cross. ^ The peony season here will be much •i May 28, 1808.

Some of the Moutan varieties have been open for a week, while a few of the singles are also open. From present indications there will be a heavy crop of the doubles for the June weddings. Last year they were too late to be of much value to growers. W. N. Craig. DAYTON, OHIO. State of Trade. The gradual increase in last week's business was more than noticeable to our Dayton florists, and we cannot help but feel the approach of Decoration day. Bedding plants of every description, nat- urally, sold far better than cut flowers. Our florists have been almost too busy to take time for bodily necessities. While the wholesalers were busy sending out their supply of plants, the retailers were busy planting out flower beds, filling urns, porch boxes, and doing everything in general to beautify the parks and lawns of our city. During the last month a good many of our unemployed have taken to the flo- rists' business and have been buying plants at wholesale and peddling them about the streets. The crops on carnations are not any too plentiful and, from the present out- look, the demand for Decoration (lay will be greater than the supply. The present weather conditions, which are exceedingly warm and dry, have greatly reduced the size of the carnations. The Prosperity has lost its tinge of pink, but it makes a good white carnation. Lawson, pink and scarlet carnations are completely off crop and there will not be nearly enough to fill the orders booked up to the present time. Enchantress and white are holding their own as well as can be expected. Brides, Bridesmaids and Richmonds also feel the effects of the hot weather and they, too, are commencing to get smaller. The outdoor roses, snowballs, etc., will be all past blooming by Deco- ration day. This, of course, will help the florists out to a certain extent. We can only say that peonies will be fine. Most of them will have to be placed in cold storage in order to keep them for May 30. The weather in the last two weeks has been all in favor of our florists and they have been able to get all of their outdoor planting done. The carnations, especially, are looking fine in the fields. Boston ferns from the bench have sold well and are extensively used in urns, boxes and for porch decorations. Lily of the valley finds ready sale and is eflfective in funeral designing. Various Notes. H. H. Ritter is busy planting out and decorating the roof garden on the Al- gonquin hotel. No expense is being spared in these decorations, and the garden promises to be a most beautiful resort. The Miami Floral Co. has about 50,000 carnations in the field and 40,000 in pots. C. M.

The cut flower market has been quiet since last report. The weather condi- tions changed on Saturday afternoon, bright, hot days succeeding the long, cool, cloudy spell. The effect on cut flowers is marked, the quantity being largely increased, the quality decidedly lowered. Oddly enough. Beauties have suffered more than tea roses, the aver- age quality of the Beauties being lower in standard than that of the Brides and Maids. There are still, however, some excellent Beauties to be had, several houses showing stock that has been little impaired as yet by the heat. Killamey is holding up well, being easily the best pink rose in the market today, its chief drawback being the exceedingly short stems seen on most of the flowers. Rich- mond is deteriorating with most grow- ers. Liberty is scarce. Carnations have suffered more than roses, the fancy stock being far from plentiful. Sweet peas, indoor grown, are bad, very bad. The arrival of the scouts, so to speak (they cannot be called the advance guard) of the outdoor sweet peas, is welcomed with joy. Peonies, of superb quality, are increas- ing in numbers, a moderate supply of southern stock being quite outshown by the home-grown product. All the colors can now be had, and finer stoek would be hard to imagine. So far the supply has not been ahead of the demand. Any day may cause a change in the situation. Spanish iris has been succeeded by the ordinary flags, but they do not fill the void. Dagger ferns are plentiful, with prices irregular. Some of the longest strings of asparagus ever seen in this market are meeting with ready demand. Common snowballs have been succeeded by the Japanese variety. Indications point to heavy shipping to the battle towns of this state May 28. A Flurry on the Street Some time ago the street became aware that John Burton, recognized as one of our ablest and most far-seeing growers, had given it as his opinion that the American Beauty rose would soon go on the back track, for a time at least.

He advanced in support of this opinion the fact that the best retail shop had been unable to get the Beauties it re- quired during midwinter, and therefore had gotten along without them, and would continue to do so during the busy season. This statement of Mr. Burton was recalled a few days ago when the street heard that the Joseph Heacoek Co., recognized as one of our largest Beauty growers, had decided to discard American Beauties next season. This means that ten houses less of Beauties will be grown for this market next sea- son. "When asked regarding the truth of this rumor, Mr. Heacoek stated that he had decided to replace Beauty with other roses, chiefly Killamey, and with his seedling carnation. No. 100. The reason assigned is the immense amount of labor required in growing and tying the Beauty; too much labor, it is be- lieved, to make it profitable as of yore, in face of the new varieties coming to the front. A Chat With Mr. Pennock. J. Liddon Pennock, member of th^ firm of Pennock Bros, and noted for his original combinations with plants and flowers, discussed the present tendencies of the so-called progressive florists to- ward department store methods in dis- posing of their stock. Mr. Pennock dep- recated returning to mixed boxes of cut flowers at a set price, believing that such boxes are apt to be unprofitable to the florist and unsatisfactory to the cus- tomer, who can rarely arrange the mix- tures eflFectively in one vase, owing to the variety of color and different lengths of stem so frequently put up. Mr. Pen- nock believes that, speaking generally, the most satisfactory purchases of loose flowers are those sold by the dozen of a single or possibly two varieties, where Mat 28, lOOS.

In short, Mr. Pennock believes that the best class of flower lovers and ^ower buyers cannot be reached through this method by the best shops. It is far more satisfactory, as well as better business, to aim to elevate the public taste by original and harmo- nizing combination or by exceptionally choice blooms of a single variety, for which a fair price should be charged. Baby Forget-me-nots. Robert Kift had a winning novelty on his counter this week in 'the shape of baby forget-me-nots. They were tiny plantlets in bloom in something like a lA-inch pot. Each one, as William Crawford proudly stated, had roots on it, though it seemed a mystery how so tiny a pot could have space for any roots in its interior. Mr. Kift turned his at- tention to the pans of forget-me-nots purchased for his store. These pans contained little seedlings, weaker and smaller than the rest, but each with its tiny rootlet and flower. When carefully subtracted from the mass and as care- fully potted in the tiny potlets formerly used for cacti, they presented a unique and charming appearance. I should like to tell you just how many ducats Mr. Kift obtained for each of these plant curiosities, but it hardly seems fair to him. Various Notes. Arthur A.

Before taking up this question it may be well to briefly mention the fact, already well known to most of you, namely, that there are comparatively few varieties of the violet. The Marie Louise is the standard double; the Lady Hume Campbell is second, with strains of each of these which have been locally devel- oped. These cover the category of the double sorts. Of the singles, there are quite a number, but it is not necessary to take up the variety question at this time, as space would forbid. In the securing of stock it is highly important that attention be* given to the origin of the same. We do not advocate the use of divided crowns.

Sand rooted cuttings, there- fore, we consider most desirable for propagation purposes. When one has the work already established and wishes to develop his own stock, cuttings should be made from the middle of February until the latter part of March. Selection of Cuttings. It is of fundamental importance to give careful attention to the selection of cuttings. We have shown that the aver- age yield of the violet plant can be ma- terially increased by proper selection. Four years' selection of the plants in- creased our average yield from about fifty flowers per plant to more than ninety. This selection work was done by marking in the fall the most vigorous plants, and keeping a record of the blooms from each throughout the season. By the time the propagating season comes around it can be determined which of the plants marked are giving the most flowers and the best ones. Cuttings from these plants would propagate the valu- able characteristics. In a talk of this kind it is, of course, impracticable to give the many little de- tails which are of the greatest impor- tance in laying the foundation for the successful production of the crop. The manner of putting in the cuttings, the care to be exercised in keeping them from wilting, the prevention of insect attack, especially red spider — all these things are of the highest importance in getting a foundation stock which will produce the flowers the coming season.

Drop us a postal It takes considerable time for the violet cutting to root, and for this reason it is more difficult to get good, healthy stock than it is with the rose and carnation. All these matters the grower will have to learn by experience. Rooting the Cuttines. Our usual practice is to root the cut- tings in benches, using bank sand if it is practicable to procure it. There is a disease of the violet, which we will refer to later and which has its inception usu- ally in the cutting bench, through the medium, I think, of improperly washed sand. Bank sand is usually free from the fungus carrying the disease, hence the recommendation for its use. After the cuttings are rooted they are transferred to small flats, each holding 100 plants. The flats are about two and a half inches deep and are filled with prepared soil which is well sifted. The plants may stand in these flats until they are read/ to be set in the beds, any time between May 20 and June 20. After the plants are put out it is then only necessary to see that they are care- fully watered and looked after, the ground kept free from weeds and con- stantly cultivated. Growth begins at once and is rapid, especially if the plants are under glass and are kept fairly well shaded. The violet, like other crops under glass, has its troubles; in fact, it is gen- erally believed that the violet has more than its share of difficulties of this kind. Taking up the diseases in the order of their importance, we will dbll attention to one which is familiar to every florist who has attempted to grow the crop, namely, the so-called spot. The Spot Disease. The spot disease is no longer a mys- tery, as it has been proved to be due to a fungus, the spores or reproductive bodies of which are nearly always to be found in the air of violet houses, only waiting the proper condition of the plant to infect the foliage. There is little to be feared from spot if proper precau- tions are taken to keep the plants in health. Without entering into a detailed description of the life history and gen- eral work of the fungus, the whole mat- ter of prevention has already been summed up by me, and I may be par- doned for repeating it here, as follows: "Keep the plants at all times in a healthy growing condition; rigidly de- stroy all diseased parts of the plants; never apply water to the leaves in such a way that they can not dry in from four to five hours; keep the leaves free from dew, and avoid fumigation with tobacco, or if tobacco is used, make the smoke as light as possible."

HENRY A. OREER, 714 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Mention The Review when you write. the plant dry at certain seasons is of the highest importance. From the middle of August until from the first to the middle of October is the critical time for spot. This is when the crowns are growing rapidly, and the foliage is thick. Syringing should always be done at this season of the year on days when it is certain the leaves will dry off be- fore night. Heavy fumigation with to- bacco is absolutely certain to produce spot. It produces the disease by so weak- ening the plant that the fungus has an opportunity to invade the tissues. (To be continued.)

Heavy rains in the southwest have made some call for seeds for replanting. Visited Chicago: Geo. C. Baker, ad- vertising manager of the Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines. A. H. GooDvriN, of the W. W. Bar- nard Co., Chicago, started May 26 for Asheville, N. C. Timothy seed offerings at Chicago are light. September sold at $4 May 26, and country lots were quoted $3 to $4,10. W. W. Barnaed Co., Chicago, says that the season's business has been the largest ever done, in practically every line of its diversified interests. Buyers of Pacific coast products will find it worth while to keep watch of the Pacific Coast Department, which is a regular feature of the Keview. Cucumber seed of the pickling vari- eties is in demand, as the stock of pickles on hand is said to be the lightest in a long time and a large pack this year is expected. Weather conditions make for a late planting season in the corn canning dis- tricts and canners are stiffening on the price of the pack because of the chance of a reduced yield. It is stated that the contract for put- ting up the government seeds for 1909 will be awarded in a few days. It is stated that the Brown Bag Filling Ma- chine Co. is the lowest bidder.

Graves was convicted of the fraud- ulent use of the mails in the conduct of his seed business and was sentenced to fifteen months' imprisonment, with a fine of $500. One of the largest jobbers of Dutch bulbs and Easter lily bulbs says that in the big cities the growers are cutting orders to half or even one-third the quantity bought last year, but that those who force bulbs only for their own local retail trade, or for wholesaling in the smaller cities, are ordering just as many bulbs as last year. The season of 1908 is now near an end and in general everyone is satisfied with results. While business has been less in some lines, it has increased in others and averages well with practically all houses. The mail trade was good, particularly with western houses. In practically all lines stocks are well cleaned up. The shortages have not been felt as acutelf as some wholesalers, upon whom the demand centered, thought they would, but stocks are in such a condition that it is to be hoped the 1908 crop will be a good one. in Bulk and Package* LAWN GRASS SEED Dickinsons, Evergreen, and Pine Tree Brandt SPECIAL MIXTURES SEED FOR GOLF GROUNDS THE ALBERT DICKINSON CO.

Michigan has had a week of good weather, A NUMBER of western seed houses re- port that while the mail catalogue trade has been larger than usual, the wholesale business was less than last year. This is accounted for by the fact that the finan- cial excitement was at its height at the time the wholesale orders are usually taken from country general stores, and it is suggested that the falling off in one department may have been of just that much assistance in the other. CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA. - C. C. Morse & Co., San Prancisco, under date of May 20, speak as follows of conditions in thip Santa Clara valley: "Notwithstanding a very dry spring, lettuce and onion still promise well, but sweet peas are looking poorly and it seems to be an off year for them. "Other crops are generally fair and altogether the prospects are better than one would expect with a very unfavora- ble season. However, there is still time for onion blight and disasters generally.

Then came the dry weather of March and April, re- lieved by only one good shower in May, and the crops are all suffering in con- sequence. At the present time onions appear to be in good condition, with scarcely a trace of disease. Where the ground is not too dry the crop should be good and, fortunately, the onions are mostly on the lower lands. It must be remembered, though, that the acreage is very short, so that a good stand and good prospect on the acreage in does not mean a big crop. "The good yield that seems likely on what we have will prevent a famine if it does not materially relieve the shortage at present existing in some lines. "Eadish is very good where the seed was put in early, but the writer has seen some fields that do not look at all prom- ising, and since these fields were large ones he believes that the average yield of radish will not go above seventy-five per cent. The crops of one grower may be good, while those of another may pro- duce less than twenty-five per cent, all depending on whether the seed was put in early or late. "Carrots are uneven in appearance, the same as radish. Some fields look at present as if there would be a heavy crop, while on other fields the stand and condition of the plants does not indicate more than twenty-five per cent of a yield. Danvers, so far as we s^re informed, is likely to be the most affected. * ' Sweet peaa will be short. How much growers will be short will depend largely on how heavily they are booked. We know of few failures so far, but the vines have not made the growth they should and the dry spring has told on them severely. The yield will be re- duced accordingly and growers that have booked on the basis of a normal crop will not be able to deliver in full. We estimate the average shortage at not less than forty per cent. "Lettuce is probably in the poorest condition of any crop this season. Let- tuce is usually planted late and we de- pend on spring showers to help it along. This year we had no spring rains and the stand is correspondingly poor and the indications are that the yield will be GLADIOLI Per 100 Per 1000 Groff's Gold Medal hybrids $2.00 $18.00 Giant Childsii, in splendid mixture 2.00 18.00 White and Lig^ht Florists* mixture 2.00 15.00 Scarlet and red shades 1.25 10.50 Extra choice American hybrids 2.25 20.00 Choice colors, mixed 2.00 17.50 TUBEROSES, Excelsior Pearl, first size 7.00 COLD STORAGE LILIES.

CONDITIONS IN FRANCE. April 25 there was the heaviest fall of snow ever known so late in the sea- son in the seed growing district o# Prance, and at last reports this had been followed by cold, there being several de- grees of frost for a few nights, so that anxiety was felt for cabbages, turnips, etc. Fortunately, the frosts did not last long enough to do much harm, and were followed by splendid weather; sunshine and now and then a little shower are pushing everything forward. A corre- spondent of the Horticultural Advertiser (English) has the following from a French correspondent May 5: "Within a week or so we shall be able to set in our lettuces for seeds; plants are generally looking well. Radishes also will soon be transplanted. A short time ago we have been planting our beets, mangels and carrots under pretty good conditions; the worst is that plants gen- erally were scarce and tiny, and there- fore acreages planted are much smaller than usual. Of beets specially there is a big shortage, and even if the crop were to turn out a splendid one we should still be far short of the quantities we want here every year; and as nearly all stocks have been cleared out last season, no doubt high prices must be expected for next. "Mangels have been largely planted again this year, but one fact must be no- ticed, that is, the scarcity of Long Red Mammoth Mangel. Last autumn the de- mand for it was so big that all stocks were soon cleared out at a good price. As there were but "few plants to set for 1908 crop, no doubt this good old variety will fetch a good price again next sea- son. Yellow varieties do not seem to have moved much in price. White va- rieties were a big crop last season, and prices dropped. "Of carrots, plantations are not large, a good many plants having been de- stroyed by bad weather, worms, etc., dur- ing the winter. Then most of them were tiny and delicate, owing to their having been sown late last autumn. A small crop is expected. "Onions have been largely set again this spring for 1908 crop, and should everything turn out well a big crop may be expected. Leeks are doing pretty well for the present, although the plants we set in for seeds were small. Parsnip not much planted; a short crop is expected. Parsley is doing well; winter radishes also. ' ' SEEDSMEN'S PROGRAM. Secretary C. E.

Henry Field, president of the Henry Field Seed Co., Shenandoah, la., says: "We have had a very prosperous sea- son, showing about fifty-eight per cent increase in business over last year, the increase over last year becoming more and more noticeable as the season ad- vanced.

We do a catalog business exclusively, direct to the planter, and issue 125,000 catalogs; will make it 150,000 next winter. We handle all kinds of seeds and bulbs, but of course seed com is our strongest line, as we are in the heart of the famous Shenandoah seed corn district." DUTCH BULB GROWERS' SOCIETY.

' ■ ' . . , ' The Market Business remains about the same as it has been for the last few weeks. Last week the market was flooded with a va- riety of stock, but toward the end of the week this glut was greatly relieved, partly by the street venders and also by a brisk spell of business. In previous years Decoration day busi- ness has not amounted to much in this city, except with the few stores that are located near the cemeteries. At present it is too early to tell what this year will bring forth. There will be a slight rise in prices, although from the present out- look stock of all kinds will be plenti- ful. There is a good crop of carnations coming on; also a fine lot of Kaiserin and La Detroit roses. Some fine swe^t peas are now on sale. Ferns, smilax, asparagus, boxwood, etc., are plentiful. Varloot No^ George R. Muckey, . who was found guilty of fleecing several florists of this vicinity by forging some checks, was sentenced to from four to fourteen years in Jackson penitentiary. The Detroit Ploripts' Club, in session Wednesday evening. May 20, sent a let- ter of condolence to Mrs. Wm. Scott and family. The members also extended their sympathy with a wreath bearing the card of the Detroit Florists' Club. Friend Scott 's death cast " a glooin over the whole proceedings of the meeting. One of our leading retail stores made a special effort- to relieve the -oversupply of roses and carnations last week. The big show window was stacked with roses and carnations bearing signs offering them at 25 cents and '50 cents per dozen. Many were disposed of, but no police- man was necessary to keep the crowd back. While the public patronizes the fakers freely, it seems to hold back when a first-class store sells so cheaply.

The Market The fleet has left San Francisco and everyone breathes a sigh of relief, for whatever benefit the merchants may have received from its stay, the florists were certainly money out from the first. Barring the green goods men, I have only found two or three retailers who re- ceived any benefit, and with the bal- ance the bulk of their stock was con- signed to the ash barrel. The plant dealers, however, were more fortunate, as the influx of so many people from out of town brought a number of pur- chasers who bought and had their plants shipped to their homes. But with those who dealt in cut flowers exclusively, one and all are glad that the excitement is over. An effort was made by the- growers during the first few days after the ar- rival to stiffen somewhat on the prices, but before the middle of the first week it was evident that quotations were go- ing to smash and by the find of last week everything was away down. Although flow«rs generally are getting to be just a little off crop and the supply is not so overwhelming, still the prices are ruinously low and will continue so for another ten days at least. It is useless to quote on carnations or roses, as it is only in extreme cases, among regular buyers and sellers where prices have been agreed upon previously, that any attention is paid to real values. The usual procedure is to buy as cheap as you can and for the seller to get out with as little loss as possible. Easter lilies were sold during the pres- ent week at $2 per hundred stems, less than the price of the bulbs, but with an overstocked market and only a slight demand the growers will accept any- thing. HoweviBr, this will regulate itself in a short time and, with the lessening of the crops which is gradually taking place, the prices are bound to advance. There will also be a smaller supply of outside stuff, which always makes its heaviest appearance during the first week in May. Various Notes. E. N. Sandahl, of the Puget Sound Nursery & Seed Co., of Seattle, Wash., is in town. Thos. Thompson, of Santa Cruz, made a short visit during the present week. E. Leedham, of the Leedham Bulb Co,, visited the flower show and express- ed himself as well pleased with the bulb showing. The Elmhurst Floral Co. has opened a new store on Thirteenth street, Oakland.

Although the exact date has not yet been flxed, great progress is being made in the matter of the Oregon Cherry Fair, to be held at Salem early in July. It will be held under the auspices of the Salem Board of Trade and the Marion County Fruit Growers' Association, and these two organizations undoubtedly num- ber in their membership the most active fruit growers, and especially cherry grow- ers in the great fruit belt of the Wil- lamette valley. The present indications are that the cherry crop will be one of the best in the history of the industry in this sec- tion, and that means that it will be one of the best in the history of the world. The cherry trees are not overloaded, as they were in many instances last year, and the result will be a much finer quality and larger sized fruit. This means, with- out doubt, that the season will produce the largest and best cherries ever known. The peculiar climatic conditions, in the DAFFODILS Bulbs for forcing, blooming or planting.

Furthermore, the quantity, owing to increased acreage, vrill be larger than ever. By consulting the figures of the canneries and shippers it is learned that the growth of the cherry industry contiguous to Salem has been marvelous in the last five years.

F. Massey. "My prac- tice has been altogether in the south, and my planting has been entirely in the autumn. I have used with great sat- isfaction sets of a white onion sold in Norfolk, Ya., as the Queen. But it is not the early Queen of the northern cata- logues, and is a larger and better onion. Sets of this planted in September gave in North Carolina fine bunching onions in February, but late in the season they run to seed and are spoiled. My greatest success has been with the Yellpw ' and White Potato onion. These make no seed, but increase by multiplication of the bulbs. The smaller ones can be pulled off for bunching and the larger ones left to make the earliest of all ripe onions. The Yellow Potato onion makes a large bulb, but is not a good keeper, and must be sold early. The White Po- tato onion never grows to a large size, but is fine for bunching, and is the best keeper of any onion I have ever grown. I have lifted them in July and kept them over a year before planting again, and they were perfectly sound and un- sprouted. "I always use sets for the bunching crop. The sets of the Potato onion can be planted in the fall, deeply in well- manured ridges, so that when the soil is pulled from them in the spring the bulbs vdll be on the surface. I have grown with success, even in the south, fine crops of ripe onions from seed sown very early in spring, and I would not use sets for the ripe crop except of the Potato onion, with which sets are the only resource. For producing sets of the Queen onion I sow the seed thickly on soil of mod- erate fertility about the middle of April, and when the tops ripen I take them up and cure with the tops on, and never re- move the tops till wanted for planting. In fact, I have found that all onions keep better if stored with the dry tops on. >> CUCUMBEBS. The keeping of plants clean is one of the most troublesome parts of cucumber cultivation now that the weather is warm. Unless they are kept well spray- ed, both red spider and thrips will get a hold and increase rapidly on account of the tender nature of the foliage.

An occasional spraying of some in- secticide can also be used with good effect. Any of tbe nnmeroiw extracts of tobacco, diluted according * to direc- tions, are good. An emulsioa of whale- oil soap is also good, and if a little kerosene is added it makes the mixture more effective. But the latter must be used in limited quantity or damage may resul^. Chir experience is that it is almost impossible to use any insecticides strong enough to destroy either red spider or thrips, if the plants are badly inf^ted, without injury to the plants themselves, but they certainly do act as a preventive if used in time, as they can be put on sufficiently strong to make the foliage of the plants an unsuitable hibernating place for any of the troublesome pests. A plentiful supply of water will be re- quired by the plants now. If they are allowed to get dry and flaggy in the heat of the day, it will result in the dropping off of a good deal of the fruits in the earlier stages of their de- velopment. When the plant receives a check, either from want of water or any other cause, a good many of the cucum- bers that are well set and have even reached a length of two or three inches, will begin to turn yellow, this yellow- ness being the first indication that the channels conducting the supply of nutri- ment to the fruits are failing to per- form their proper functions, through some unsuitable condition, and the fruit, being robbed of the necessary supply of nutriment, drags out a miserable ex- istence for some Tittle time, but finally gives up the fight and drops off, to the dismay and chagrin of the cultivator, who often does not know what is the matter with his plants.

A. R., one of the floral tributes was so striking and so artistic as to attract much attention. It was made at the greenhouses of Henry Behrens and reflected great credit on that florist. It was appropriate in de- sign, consisting of a United States flag five and a half feet high, made entirely of flowers and mounted on a white shield. MANCfiESTEB, N. H.— The street and park commission has made a change in the plan for the placing of flowers in the parks and commons of the city. In- stead of apportioning the work, as in former seasons, among the different flo- rists of the city, the commission has called fpr competitive bids. This new methoifl ef procedure is said to be a seri- ous disappointment to some florists, who have gone to the expense and trouble of ordering the plants, expecting to go ahead with the work as in previous years.

Mc- Ewen has purchased the stock of plants of the Wellsville Cut Flower Co., of which A. E. Boyce was manager. Mr. Boyce, however, has reserved for himself the stock of his scarlet crimson seedling camatioQ, Claribel Worth, which will be ready for dissemination, he says, in 1910. Peoeia, III. — Chas. Loveridge is building two houses for roses. At James C. Murray's place, business has been active all the spring, especially in fu- neral work. White carnations and roses have been short in supply. Bedding out has started, but the demand got a set- back on account of one of the large stores advertising 4-inch geraniums for 10 cents. Newport, E. I. — The store of Henry J. Hass, on Thames street, was visited recently by a burglar, but the report does not state the extent of the rob- bery. The thief entered through a win- dow and departed through a rear door. Several other burglaries have also oc- curred lately in the same street. A for- mer naval apprentice, George W. Klotz, was arrested as the criminal, and, as certain articles from the flower store were found in his possession, he con- fessed that he -had stolen them, but de- nied all knowledge of the robberies in the other buildings.

Commencements are in order, and con- eequently everybody is busy. They are earlier this year than last. Among the largest this week were those at Mt. Ver- non Seminary, Gunston Institution and the Friends' Select School. Geo. Cooft did the decorating at Mt. Vernon. Thw Gude Bros. Co. had the Friends' School. Every store was well represented in the bouquets sent to the different schools. Small & Son have several good wedding orders for the coming week. The prospects for Memorial day are good. The advance orders are far ahead of this time last year. Gude Bros. Co. has the usual order for the Illinois Eepublican Society for Gen. John A. Logan's tomb. This year it is a facsimile of the badge which was presented to Gen. Logan by congress after the surrender of Vicksburg, July 4, 1863, in honor of his distinguished services during that memorable siege. The peony crop this year has Tieen the best for years, if not the best ever. The store vrindows are full of them, selling at $1 per dozen, but the better grade brings $2.

Sharpies has purchased from Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas, of Maple Ave- nue Nurseries, 40,000 plants, generally shrubbery, which will be used in beauti- fying the extensive grounds about the Sharpies villa, on the ridge, West Goshen township. The price said to have been paid for this large purchase of rare and fine shrubbery, evergreens, trees, etc., is about $25,000. The plants cover a plot of ground of about twenty-six acres in extent, which belongs to Mr. Sharpies, being a part of the old Bishop property, on the Boot road,. in West Gtoshen, and attached now to the large plot, a part of the grounds about his big mansion. Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas some time ago leiased the land from the Bishop estate and have used it for nursery purposes. It was purchased by Mr. Sharpies sub- ject to the lease, wMch has another year to run. The firm has, as stated, planted it with shrubbery and would have had to move or burn the plants next spring if not sold* The nursery firm, therefore, having disposed of the lot in bulk, sim- ply relinquish their lease and Mr. Shar- pies gains possession of his land, as well as 40,000 pieces of shrubbery, which can be removed at will and planted wher- ever Qeeded on the large villa grounds by his landscape gardener.

One of the recent articles of the pub- licity service of the National Council of Horticulture was devoted to a discussion of the principles of shrubbery planting, in part as follows: Shrubbery, as a rule, is used as a frame for a lawn, and the design of the shrubbery frame should be formed on the same principles as any other frame — a picture frame, the border of a rug, etc. That is, the frame should harmonize with the picture it encloses. The average shrubbery plantation defies this doctrine and is a thing of shreds and patches, Rose Planis From 2^ -inch Pots Per 100 1000 Bride $8.50 $88.60 Maid 8.60 88.60 Chatenay 8.60 88.60 . . .

In choosing plants to grow side by side, consider the foliage and flowers as carefully as you consider the shape of the bush. Do not put large masses of light green foliage next to masses of dark, or you have a patchy effect. By choosing your shrubs carefully with re- gard to flowering time, the border may be made a delight in the summer, with one or more shrubs always in bloom. Two shrubs that flower at the same time should not be placed close together if the colors of their flowers clash. OWN ROOT SUMMER GROWN ONE YEAR OLD $2.50 per 100 $3.00 per 1001 Baby Rambler P.

Among the exhibits at the weekly show of the Worcester County Horticul- tural Society, in Horticultural hall, May 21, was an unusually fine display of yel- low calla lilies, or Calla EUiottiana, by George McWilliam, gardener for Mrs. G. M. Whitin, This exhibit was not only noticeable as being the first of its kind at the meetings of this society, but the color of the flowers was said to be a deeper, more golden shade of yel- low than is generally seen in plants of this class. Mr. McWilliam was awarded a prize for these and for some vases of lily of the valley. Among members of the trade who won prizes in other sections were A. W. Hix- on and A. L. Bemis. The next exhibition will be June 4, and there will then be exhibitions every Thursday until and including September 24, and also October 8 and Novem- ber 12. RICHMOND, IND. !New chrysanthemums from^e famous hybridists of France have been sent to America to be grown for exhibition at the national flower show at Chicago, November 6 to 15. The E. G. Hill Co. has received consignments of chrysan- themum novelties from Calvat, of Gre- noble, and Nonin, of Paris, and more are on the way from Eozain-Boucharlat. These are varieties as yet unnamed. They will be christened, perhaps, with the names of American women. Mr. Hill will ask their originators for permission to do this. NORWICH, CONN. At a meeting of the New London County Horticultural Society, held May 18, Alexander MkcLellan, the landscape gardener of Newport, R. I., delivered an able address on his specialty, the dahlia. President T. W. Head and Vice-presi- dent N. P. Carey were absent, and S. A. Gilbert, one of the directors, presided. Mr. MacLellan treated his subject both historically and practically and succeed- ed in making his remarks interesting as well as instructive.

The Market Trade this month has been fairly good, though the great number of rainy days have tended to keep the volume of busi- ness down. Decoration day prospects are quite pfomising. Lilacs will be past their prime and snowballs not in full bloom for the occasion, so that the florists will be called upon to supply the most of the flowers for decorating. Country trade is increasing every day, the demand for school graduates and for weddings being brisk. Qub Meetine. The Twin City Florists' Club met at Holm & Olson's store May 19. Owing to the busy planting season being on, the attendance was somewhat smaller than usual. The committee to draft a new consti- tution and by-laws reported and ihe matter was laid over for action until the next meeting. It is proposed to incorporate under the name of the Min- nesota State Florists' Association. Mr. Meyer 's paper on ' * Shrubs for Florists" was put over till the next meeting. Albert Christensen, of the Minneapolis Electric Co., gave an interesting outline on ' ' Growing Plants by Electric Light, ' ' and offered to give a more complete talk on the subject at some future time. X. Y. Z. TERRE HAUTE, IND. Alexander Millar, Jr., the last two years fireman for the Green Floral and Nursery Co., of Dallas, Tex., has leased the plant of the Terre Haute Rose & Carnation Co., of this place, wholesale growers of cut flowers. Dr. Edward Reiss, a dentist of this city, built the greenhouses, containing 40,000 square feet of glass, two years ago, making them modem and up-to- date. Mr. Millar, who took charge April 1, is one of the foremost growers of the country, and will enlarge the plant at once, to take better care of growing trade. Dr. Reiss will remain interested in the company. WooNSOCKET, R.

The Market One would like to say something pleas- ant by way of variety, but it is out of the question. We are in the midst of summer weather and the business is regular summer business. There are plenty of fine roses of all kinds and Beauties in abundance. These would take care of what trade there is, but that would not take into consideration the quantities of poorer grades of stock, much of which is being lost. This not only gives the wholesalers lots of work, but is hard on the growers. Nearly all of our retailers are han- dling plants, which keeps them busy and they do not notice the dropping off in the cut flower trade so much. The plantsmen seem to be doing a thriving trade and getting about the same prices as in other years. The weather is in their favor, as there has been no sign of frost for so long that people commenced bedding earlier than usual, which saves crowding so much into one week: Banquet for William Hamilton. At the last meeting of the Florists' Club, announcement having been made of the resignation of William Hamilton as superintendent of the Allegheny parks, after thirty years' service, a nuniber of his old friends got together and arranged for a little informal sup- per in his honor. Last Wednesday even- ing, therefore, in a private room in the McCarty cafe, William Hamilton was surrounded at table by James Semple, William Falconer, Fred Burki, P. S. Bandolph, John Bader, Henry Negley, E. C. Reineman, John Wyland, T. P. Langhans, Julius Ludwig, Gustav Lud- wig, E. C. Ludwig, De Forest Ludwig, John Jones, W. A. Clarke, David Eraser, Thomas Price, George Moore, H. Frish- kom, William Loew and P. J. Demas. After a plentiful repast, the toast- master, Mr. Falconer, in his original way, called on one after another for re- marks. It was found that most of those present had known Mr. Hamilton from thirty to fifty years and many pleasant recollections were recalled, after which Mr. Hamilton, who was somewhat af- fected, spoke from his chair, saying that he had spent almost a lifetime in hie oflRce. He felt grateful that now, when he desired to retire, his friends should rally around him with such ex- pressions of love and esteem. After all had shaken hands and wished their old friend many years of happiness, all went to their homes feeling that there are other things besides business. Hoo-Hoo.

The market has seen large receipts of stock of all kinds, while trade has been a little slow. A few rainy days shut off some business the retailers might have had. There are plenty of good roses of all kinds. American Beauties are com- ing in plentifully, while Bride and Maid are in greater supply than the demand calls for. Carnations have been plenti- ful and of fairly good quality, but the indications are that there will not be any surplus for Memorial day, for they are the principal flower called for. There will be no lilac or snowballs to amount to anything. Cape jasmine will be over; so the word comes from Texas, where most. of it comes from. "What has been coming in last week is short of stem and small of flower. The outlook for trade for the week, though, seems to be good and the store men anticipate a good business. Various Notes. The Park Floral Co. is again short- handed at the Broadway store. The young man who recently came from Chi- cago seems to have had poor circulation, for in just three weeks his feet got so cold he had to hurry home without tak- ing time to say goodbye. Truly, home- sickness is a terrible disease and florists might profit by Uncle Sam's example. He is said to carry candy in the com- missary for new recruits. C. A. Benson is picking some fine sweet peas. E. S. K. Salisbury, Vt. — Charles Bingham has purchased George Sheldon's greenhouse and will move it to his father's farm, east of town, Hudson, Mass. — E. C. Eoss aided in the observance of Mothers' day by pre- senting, according to a previous an- nouncement, fifty white carnations to the first fifty persons who applied for them after the opening of the store in the morning. The claimants were numerous and the flowers were disposed of within a few minutes. Huntington, Ind, — Tony Bieberich, lately with D. C. Noble & Co,, at Co- lumbia City, Ind., has gone into business here, taking charge of the establishment known as the East End Greenhouses. The place comprises two houses, 25x134, which are being stocked with a general line of cut flowers and plants. Various improvements are being made, including the installation of a new heating system. The business will be conducted in the future under the firm name of Hatten & Bieberich. Miscellaneous Plants Per loo Mme.

The habit is very pleasing, rather dwarf and very stocky. It is a common thing to see 4 to 6 large bunches of flowers on a plant in a 3 to 5-ineh pot. Clusters average 4 to 5 inches in diameter. It is a very free bloomer; we think it is freer than any we grow and we grow a great many Geraniums. We grow 8 to 10 varieties. Stock of American Beauty is extra line but -Umlted as to quantity.

SALVIA PRIDE OF ZURICH. We have now several forms of the Brazilian Salvia splendens, and the typ- ical kind as well as the varieties have long been justly valued as flowering plants for the greenhouse. Late sum- mer and autumn, however, are usually regarded as the flowering period of this member of the sage family, but in the variety at the head of this note we have one that can be had in flower during the spring months. This is fully borne out, says the Gardeners' Magazine, by the fact that at the spring meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society H. B. May & Sons, of Edmonton, have shown numerous examples of this salvia thickly studded with their bright scarlet blos- soms. For summer bedding Salvia splendens has much in its favor, but up to now its comparatively late season of blooming was a decided drawback. With this compact-growing and early variety, the just-named difficulty will disappear. As Salvia splendens is of easy propaga- tion and culture, this newer variety (for it is not absolutely new) should soon be generally met with in gardens. PTYCHORAPmS SIEBERTIANA. The genus ptychoraphis is exceptional among eastern palms in its elegance, the three or four species known, all of them Malayan, being as graceful as Cocos Weddelliana and Geonoma gracilis. P. Singaporensis and P. augusta, which are already in cultivation, although com- paratively recent introductions, possess good decorative qualities, and in the new species, Ptychoraphis Siebertiana, which Sander & Sons have named in compli- ment to Herr Siebert, the director of the palm garden at Frankfort, the Eng- lish gardening press thinks they have a most promising palm. In the pose and form of the young plant there is a re- semblance to Dsemonorops fissus, but there are no spines on the ptychoraphis. The stems are slender, in the case of mature plants probably tufted, with ele- gant arching leaves, the petioles clothed with small brownish scales, the leaflets regular, ten inches long, three-fourths inches wide, tapering gradually to a long thread-like point. When young they are copper-colored, changing with age to a rich green. THE DOGWOODS. The dogwoods are among the most valuable of shrubs, being especially adapted for moist and shady places. Some of them have richly colored twigs, which produce a fine color effect in win- ter. All are- hardy and adapt them- selves readily to a variety of soils and climates. Flowering dogwood, Cornus florida, is showy in flower and also beautiful in autumn, when the leaves change color before falling. The plant is of tree form, rather slow in growth, and ordi- narily from ten to fifteen feet high. It has branches spreading almost hori- zontally. The flowers appear early in spring and in full bloom the shrubs have a striking appearance, owing to the whorls of leaves that surround the blossoms. It bears a bright scarlet fruit. Red osier, Cornus stolonifera, grows freely in marshy ground in Canada and the northern states. Its main stem is prostrate and from it many shoots grow six to ten feet high. These shoots are green in summer but scarlet in winter. The flowers are white or cream and Horticulture in Qreat Britain^ and Ireland Twopence Weekly A HlBli-olass Illustrated Journal daallns with every pliase of Hortloulture under Glass and In the Open Air K8TABU8HKD IN 1888 PRINTED ON ART PAPER Oroblds— Roses— Landscape Gardening- Fruit-Hardy Flowers- Stove and Greenliouse, etc. Special Reports of Flower Shows, Conferences, Meetings, etc. IlluBtratlons of New and Beautiful Flowers, Fruits, Trees.

Among the new plants exhibited at the centenary exhibition at Ghent was Nephrodium gracillimum.

Sander & Sons obtained this plant from Brisbane, and it has proved so free a grower and the fronds are so finely divided that the Gardeners' Chron- I HOW TO MAKE MONEY GROWING VIOLETS BY GEORGE 8ALTFORD.

It has a close-growing rhizome, from which spring numerous fronds from two to three feet long, the stipes wiry, scaly at the base, the lowest pinnae twelve inches long, those above being gradually shorter, the whole forming a deltoid elegant frond of pleasing appearance. The pinnules are as finely divided as in Onychium Japonicum. The cultivated forms of N. decompositum are so different from N. gracillimum that it might reasonably be doubted that they are forms of the same species.

The Weekly Rorists' Review,* 69 ABOUT THE HEAT THAT GETS AWAY You know that the longer the fire travels, con- stantly coming: in contact with the water-ways, the more the heat is harnessed and the less goes up chimney. So far so good— but of still greater importance is the extracting or absorbing of the greatest amount of beat directly In the combustion chamber when the burning gases are hottest. This is what is accomplished by the "Burnham" cross fire channels with their side flue openings, which chan- nels are surrounded on three sides by extra deep water-ways. The heat that these deep water-ways fail to absorb is then practically all taken up by the fire travel in its Journey three times the boiler's length. So these are the reasons why, for green- house economy, you can't beat the "Burnham" Hot Water or Steam. Bum hard or soft coal. Send for the new boiler catalog.

The houses run east and west, with a glass gable in the west end. The boiler is under the shed at the east end. How should each be piped for steam and what horse-power of horizontal tu- bular boiler is required! We get water from a spring-pond and should like to get your advice as to the water pltmt. What can we do to avoid a boiler-pit f H.O. Regarding the direction and piping of your houses, will say my personal prefer- ence with even-span houses is that they run north and south, with the work-room and heating plant at the north end. Houses No. 1 and No. 2 should each be provided with a 3-inch flow under the ridge and fourteen li4-i°ch returns the length of the house. Houses No. 3 and No. 4 should each be provided with a 2%-inch flow under the ridge and ten lii-inch returns, while house No. 5 should have a 2-inch riser under the ridge and seven li4-inch returns. By installing a return steam trap you can arrange the boiler on the level of the greenhouses. This will require the Pipe Fittings — Imico Boilers FOR GRKKITHOnSK WORK ILLINOIS MALLEABLE IRON CO. 5S» DIVKR8KT BOULBVARD CHICAGO. Mention The Review when you write. overhead risers as suggested, and all the water of condensation will be returned into a hot well, from which it can be lifted to the boiler by the steam trap. The water plant can be arranged by use of a ram, windmill or power pump driven by motor, gas engine or steam engine. I am inclined to believe that either gaso- line or steam power will be most satis- factory. The water would be delivered direct to mains or into an elevated stor- age tank as desired. If you use a gravity system, the water level in the boiler should be at least two feet below the level of the lowest radi- ating pipes in the houses; more would be better. The boilers should have a rated capacity to carry 4,000 square feet of radiation or more. One return tubu- lar boiler, rated at forty horse-power, should be sufficient to heat this plant. ONCINNATL TheMariEct There has been no change in the state of the market. May 25 it was about as poor as it was last week, and were it not for the prospects of a good Decoration day trade the outlook would be discouraging.

[ liavo ail oast ami west ^loenliouso, 14x40 fret, heated by a \Vilks hot water lieater. There are three benches, with three lijiuch llow pipes under each side bencli and four under the middle bench. Tliere is one lVL>-incli return pipe under each b(>ncli. Tlio boiler is about two feet lower than the pipes, which grad- ually rise about lifteen inches. The ex- pansion tank is at the highest point. This arranj^enient did not prove entirely satisfactory. It Mas hard work to keep the heat up on extremely cold or windy days. What change would you suggest, using the l^ij-inch pipe? I am planning to .build a 10-foot lean-to and wish to U^ 4-inch pipe. How should it be ar- 'ranged? E. W. G. If I read the description of your heat- ing plant correctly, it is little wonder you have difficulty in maintaining heat in the house. It is installed wrong end to; that is, you have too nuiuy llow pipes and too few and too small returns. If you will rearrange the heating plant by carrying one 2-inch pipe from the boiler under the ridge to the far end of the house, there divide it to supply three coils of li/{>-incb pipe of four pipes each under each of the three benches, and then reunite these near the boiler into a common 2-inch return, you will have the plant right end to and sufficient for a temperature of 60 degrees. Connect the expansion tank by a v4-inch pipe to the main return within a foot of the boiler and carry it six to ten feet above the highest point in the heating system, and note results. GREENHOUSE CHIMNEYS. There is one matter which I have sel- dom se(>n mentioned in the columns of the ]\EViK\v. luimely, the chimney. I have an iron stack now, ami need anotlier. Would a brick chimney be l)etter.' What would be the inside dimensions of the chimney and the thickness of the walls.' J have one boiler and wish to set another for emergencies. I should like to use the same stack for both. Would it be better to have a .separate flue for each.' What height would be best ? I have a hot water heater and use coke for fuel. Would it be best to have a door at the bottom of the stack for accumulation of soot? L. Y. The brick cliimiu-y is more permanent than the metal stack, although the ini- tial cost of the chimney is much greater than that of the metal stack. The gen- eral rule used to determine the size of a stack is as follows: The area of the cross section of the stack should be equal to one-ninth the area of the grate surface of the boilers. If metal stacks were to l»e used, we should advise putting up a stack for each boiler, but if a brick stack is to be employed and the boilers are arranged in battery, use a breeching to connect them with the main stack. The area of the stack shouM be one-ninth the combined area of the grate surface of all the boilers to be cared for. The height of the stack is a mat- ter of location and the character of draft desired. Tall stacks give stronger nat- ural draft than short ones, but the pre- vailing type of construction on large power plants today is a short stSck and Money Saved Money saved in operating expenses— and at the same time increasing the elliciency of your plant — must be an interesting subject to every florist. The installation of &niSteKi ^p^ in your greenhouse means positive money-saving in operating ex- penses. For instance, less coal. liAiiii liHds., Monett, Mo., testify: "We believe the Capitol Boiler to be the best Hoiler for KreenHouse heating on the market, being easy to handle and economical on fuel. One of our com- petitors has liO.OOO square feet of glass with a fioiler and used over SI. 000 worth of coal during the same time that we, with 1.5,000 square feet of glass, with our Capitol Boiler, only used $158 worth of coal."

Green goods, which are of a fine quality, are about equal to the demand. The bright weather of late has has- tened indoor crops, and prospects now are that there will be more stock for Memorial day, especially in carnations, than was anticipated during the recent dark spell. Various Notes. The Holton & Hunkel Co. reports that advance orders for Decoration day are away ahead of those on hand a week . before Easter; also that prices will be about the same as at that time, if not better, Robert Zepnick, formerly associated with his father in Bay View, Bome time ago embarked in the retail business at 147 Lincoln avenue. The building, in which the south side postoffice and bank are also located, is a new structure, and Mr. Zepnick thinks the stand is O. K. His Easter trade was beyond expecta- tions. E. Haasch has improved his property on Hopkins road, adjoining the Union cemetery, by removing the small con- servatory and erecting a two-story build- ing. The first floor is used for a flower store by himself, while the second story is utilized for dwelling purposes. He nojdoubt has a fine stand, especially for spnng trade. Joe Kremer has begun to remodel his greenhouses on Center street, between Seventh and Eighth streets. At the northwest corner of the city, the Mueller & Schroeder Co. reports all young carnations in the field May 22. They are now busy planting asters and gladioli. They had a large lot of the last named last year and, as they were a good investment, will again h'ave a big batch. Everybody was busy planting out, as the weather was favorable. The writer saw some outdoor lily of the valley which was of a fine quality. • The next club meeting -takes place June 4 and every member ought- to at-" tend, as it promises to be an interesting: and profitable one. The River Front Improvement Asso- ciation is now busy filling in good soil and removing rubbish preparatory to planting vines and beds. Milwaukee is not so slow, after all. E. Oestreicher.

Premium lists of the chrysanthemum and floAver show, to be held November 12 to 15, were distrib- uted among the members. The prizes are quite liberal and offer a fine induce- ment to the exhibitors. The committee of arrangement has not decided yet about the plans of the meeting. J. A. Newsham, chairman of the com- mittee, is expected every day back from Central America, with sixty more boxes of orchids. All the members present endorsed highly the work of the crop pest com- mission, supported by the state. A circular issued by Professor Newell was read. He invites the public and all interested in the subject to be present at a lecture which he will deliver next Sat- urday evening at the Washington Artil- lery hall, on the extermination of the black ant, one of our most destructive insects. Mayor Martin A. Behrman was made an honorary member of the New Orleans Horticultural Society. A vote of thanks was tendered to A. Alost for his fine reception at his place, and also to the Jos. Steckler Seed Co. for valuable accommodation in furnish- ing transportation thereto. R. Eichling and J. Colongue had an exhibition of nicely grown plants. President R. Reinecke was prevented from assisting, on account of sickness at home. H. Doescher was elected a member of the society. Various Notes.

Cypripedium losigne. Of ■all cypripediums, C. insigne is still the most valuable one commercially. The fact that it will succeed fairly well in almost any temperature, and is slow to resent adverse conditions, causes it often to be greatly neglected. We doubt if there are many plants which will give better returns for the care bestowed upon them and the space occupied than these cypripediums. One advantage with these flowers is that if the market does not want them one day, they can be carried over a week or even a month in good condition, something which cannot be done with any other of the florists' sta- ples. While this orchid is often kept the year around in a warm house, we have seen equally fine plants grown in ordi- nary greenbouses. At the present time there can be no better place than a cold- fraipe in which a good bed of coal ashes has been spread. The plants are better elevated on pots or pans, and if their tops come within eighteen inches of the glass they will be all right. Syringe them overhead on all clear afternoons, but leave the foliage dry on damp days. Provided pots are well filled with roots, give them a little weak cow manure water once a week. Keep a little air in the frame all the time and shade the glass with kerosene and white lead. The plants can be left in the frames until the middle of September. Treated in th\s way they will make a splendid growth and flower profusely, far better than if kept in a crowded greenhouse, far from the light. The golden yellow C. insigne Sanderse is still too high- priced for florists. A decade hence, how- ever, we expect to see it a popular com- mercial orchid, bringing at least double the price of the ordinary types. Dendrobiums. Dendrobiums are mostly East Indian orchids and prefer a rather close, warm and moist atmosphere while making their growths. The popular florists' sorts, such as nobile in variety, War- dianum, formosum, giganteum and Pha- Isenopsis Schroederiana, do specially well in a small house well up to the light, not too heavily shaded and syringed freely every clear afternoon, the ventilators then being closed. A chink of air may be given again toward evening. A house in which palms are grown may also be utilized for these plants, pro- vided the shading on the glass is not too heavy. Any repotting or rebasketing should have been done after flowering. Boots will now be appearing freely and it will help the plants to give them a gSfocing of fresh sphagnum moss, if is has not been done. Good plants may be grown in pure sphagnum moss, if care is taken not to overwater th»m. POINSETTIAS. What is the best time to propagate poinsettias, and the method of cultiva- tion to bring them in bloom for Christ- mas? R.P. &Co. If you wish to grow your poinsettias in pots or benches for cutting, you can start propagating at once. Cuttings are not difficult to root if you can give them a little bottom heat. Keep them shaded from the sun and do not allow the sand to become in any way dry. The best cut- tings are those rubbed off with a heel. Trim the leaves off fairly close before inserting them. If your stock plants are still dormant, get them under way as soon as possible. They will soon produce a quantity of new shoots. If you want plants in pans for Christ- mas sales, it is too early yet to propa- gate. In June and July is sufficiently early. I have had nice, dwarf plants struck during August, but we think from June 15 to July 10 the best season to root cuttings for pans. At that season no bottom heat is needed and any ordi- nary greenhouse or frame may be used for propagating purposes. Pot off into small pots containing a mixture of leaf-mold, loam and sand be- fore the plants become in any way hard- ened. For bench culture you can plant out as soon as the little pots are filled with roots. If you want large bracts, space them twelve inches apart each way. For pan culture the number de- pends on the size of pan used. As a rule, three will suffice for one six inches in diameter; five for an 8-inch, and seven for a 10-inch. The plants must be carefully watered. Too much or too little will cause a loss of foliage. They can be grown quite cool until bracts begin to form, when a minimum temperature of 60 degrees is desirable. Move into a slightly cooler house when the bracts are well expanded. Feed with liquid manure once a week as the bracts develop, but make the doses moderate. Poinsettias are of easy cul- ture, but like all other plants need care- ful treatment, especially in watering, to insure best results. For the final potting use such compost as you would place your chrysanthemums or geraniums in. You will find frequent cultural refer- ences about poinsettias in the Eeview's Seasonable Suggestions. C. W. THE RETAIL FLORIST HOUSE DECORATING. For Social Functions. How many times has some lady come into your store to get information in regard to "my daughter's wedding"? Quite often, you will say. If that lady chanced to be some wealthy person, no doubt you made arrangements to call at the house to talk it over, for you were anxious to get the job. But if you judged, from the way the lady talked, that she meant only to spend from $10 to $20, what then? The chances are she went away without your even in- quiring as to her name. From your store she went across the avenue to one of your competitors, who accorded her all the information she wanted, then secured an appointment at the house and finally landed the decora- tion. Small Work Leads to Larger. You will say there is not enough in these small decorations to pay for going after them. Of course, you would make more clear profit on a funeral design at $15 than on a decoration at that figure, but you must take into consideration the advertising you will derive from the decoration. At the wedding or reception there may be a number of prospective customers to whom the pleased hostess will recommend your work. Often you may get a new customer in this way. The next time you get an opportunity to call at someone 's home and offer a few suggestions, do not let it slip by. Don't Alter Your Prices. When you are being shown through the different rooms to be decorated, ask enough questions so that you will be well posted as to what is wanted, but do not do all the talking. Take a gen- eral survey of the surroundings and try to get some idea as to how much the people wish to spend. Make a price for doing the work at so much for palms, so much for smilax, flowers, etc. If your price strikes your prospective customer as being too high, suggest the use of a few less palms, etc., but do not cut your price. It will pay you to be just a little independent here. Having finally received orders to go ahead with the work, make note of what you will need in the way of palms, ferns, greens, etc. If you will need any greens or flowers that you do not regularly keep in stock, be sure you order in time. Should you be at a loss as to where to order the various greens used in deco- The Weekly Florists' Review. Jdkb 4, 1908. rating, a perusal of the advertisements in the Review will help you out. Hints on Handling tiie Work. When the day of the wedding or party arrives, get an early start on the job. If it is a large one it may even be necessary to do some of the rough work on the previous day. The sooner you get through and out of the house, the better the people will like it. Of course, if the decorations are for an evening affair I would not advise you to put the flowers in place until late in the afternoon. Be sure you have with you what few tools you will need; also, some wire, string, strong pins and, if you expect to have to use it, a step ladder, so that you will not have to trouble the people in the house. A good plan is to keep on hand one or more large sheets of strong cloth to lay on the floor. Set your plants on these until you are ready to arrange them. Keep all your stuff as much as possible in one place and try to finish up one part of the house at a time, so as not to have the whole house upset. If you are left to yourself, so much the better, but should the lady of the house or, as is more often the case, some kind, well-meaning neighbor want to boss the job, you will have to keep smiling just the same, even if your ideas about decorating differ. Good taste is really a secondary consideration; the main thing is to please your customer, so that she will tell all her friends about your work. When working about the bouse be pleasant with everyone with whom you come in contact, but have your employees always keep in mind that they are not making a social call on the servants. Hugo Scheoeteb. SUPPLYING LOCAL DEMAND. In our admiration for the accomplish- ments of the trade specialists, we often lose sight of the man who caters to the local trade of a small town. He is de- serving of more recognition than he usu- ally gets, for a florist in such a situation must be an all-round specialist. He can- not concentrate his effort upon carna- tions, roses, sweet peas, violets, greens, or pot plants, but must do them all well enough to compare favorably with those produced by the specialists with whose products he frequently has to compete. To those who are accustomed to the ap- pearance of an acre of glass under one roof, devoted to one flower, the illus- tration on page 5 will be of interest. It shows one of the houses of T. G. Yale, at Wellington, O., and indicates the way in which both ends are made to meet, and lap over, by growing a little of everything for his home trade. This picture was taken just before Memorial day and Mr. Yale says that business not only has been good this sea- son but that for Memorial day it was much better than it ever had been be- fore. As early as May 27 he had taken enough orders to have beaten last year's record had no more business come to him in the three busiest days of the month. %k^>>'^f»>^^fe^^>fc»>^'>fc»>'^f»>•'^^w»>'Mf»>wc^>^^fe»>lfc♦>%i^^Mf^^»^»•wc»>-»fc^ RETAILER AND WHOLESALER ^'>».l♦=j^^^-»v^-^«^.^^^>^L'♦^<♦^'♦^^'♦^^^>»'♦=i)^<♦J»^.«^^y^^♦^ <•-»». CO-OPERATION. [A paper by Arthur A. Niessen, secretary and treasurer of the Leo Nlessen Co., read before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia, June 2, 1908.] The full title of this paper is "Co- operation Between Wholesaler and Re- tailer in Times of Overproduction." Why "in Times of Overproduction" was added to the title is more than I can understand. If we cannot work hand in hand when the market is about evenly balanced between supply and demand, we certainly cannot expect to do so when the commission man is at the mercy of the retailer. A Serious Problem. , We always have had, and will have, at certain times of the season a glut of some sort. This does not only apply to our trade, but to every other line as well. In our line it is due to unavoidable over- production; in other lines, probably due to an overestimated demand. I would like to ask the retailers present. Are you doing anything, or are you making any effort whatever to relieve the market of its overproduction? Beyond finding fault with the manner in which the commission jnan is trying to meet this serious prob- lem, the majority are doing nothing. How to find a market for this over- production is a problem worthy of a genius. It has been our experience that. although we offer flowers to the retailer at what would seem ridiculously low prices, he will not buy any more than he positively needs. The thought how he could handle this stock, and in some way increase his sales, never enters into the minds of the majority of them. I am quite sure, if the retailer were situated the same as the commission man during a glut, that if he had to take the stock regardless of having an immediate outlet for it, he would find ways and means to make it profitable for him to handle it. Necessity is the mother of invention, and it is wonderful what we can do when we must. Feeling is Antagonistic It is very evident that to a certain degree the conditions of the market dur- ing a glut could be improved upon by cooperation, but in that direction prog- ress seems extremely slow. The feeling towards the commission man by many of the retailers is decidedly antagonistic. It is indeed surprising that by many retailers the commission man is considered a necessary evil, whose sole reason for existence is to oppress the retailer by extorting exorbitant prices and imposing all sorts of hardships. These retailers will without hesitation make the statement that they will favor the grower who peddles his stock. The commission man is called upon only dur- ing a scarcity, to supply that which the grower could not possibly supply. Com- ing to the commission man under such conditions, and being asked a fair price for the goods wanted, he assails the com- mission man for the seemingly unjust treatment, and he is classed with the pi- rates and daylight robbers. Just as soon as we can overcome the feeling of the retailer, as described above, towards the commission man, we are one point closer to cooperation. Faker Will Take a Chance. We cannot dispose of our surplus to the 5 and 10-cent stores; there is only one outlet left to us, and that is to put the flowers on the street. The street faker, by most retailers, is looked upon as a demoralizer of the flower business. The commission man is solely blamed for his existence, but let me tell you that with many of the growers who peddle their own stock, their last stopping place is the curb, and they will take anything to relieve the load on their arms and will sell their wares at a price so low that the buyer is pledged to secrecy. They are ashamed to have the price known. Can you imagine what conditions would be if the growers were depending entirely on their own efforts to dispose of their products? Some of the fakers undoubtedly have what may be termed "nerve." A faker will buy 5,000 carna- tions that are almost asleep, take them on the sunny side of Market street, in a temperature of about 90 degrees, and take what he calls a chance. How many retailers, at the same price, would take the same chances? I do not wish to be misunderstood, that I am here to speak for the faker. There is not a commission man who would not gladly dispense with him, if there were any possible way of doing so. With few exceptions, they are not a desirable lot. Retailer Has First Chance. When you see the street fairly flooded with flowers, you should always bear in mind the fact that the commission man has offered the stock to you first, that he has exhausted all th§ known science of salesmanship to induce you to buy it. Many retailers will advance the argument that if there were no flowers on the street they could sell double the stock they are using. That is the very thing they should do, buy it and keep it off the street. "Give us the same chances you give the street faker," is another time- worn saying. Let any of the retailers try it, and the results will startle them. Let them start out some morning and ask the commission man, ' ' What will you take for the shelf?" and if you mean business the shelf is yours. t The tendency today is in just the op- posite direction. Many of the retail stores may justly be called sample stores. They do not carry any stock; the com- mission man is carrying it for them. The demands are sometimes startling. Ten minutes after the goods are ordered they are supposed to be delivered. The excellent service brought about by live competition is sadly misused. In that direction cooperation would do much to overcome existing unpleasant conditions. The commission man has, after years of persistent efforts, gained the confi- dence of the growers. They are working hand in hand; the grower will consult the commission man about his crops for a coming peason, he seeks his advice, and June 4, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review. House at T. G. Yale's, Wellington, Ohio. the trade has benefited greatly by this "mutual interest" feeling existing be- tween the growef and commission man. That feeling does not prevail as much between the retailers and commission man as it should. Margin Between Prices. There is one feature which in my es- timation curtails the sale of flowers, and that is, many of the retailers do not keep their prices consistent with the pre- vailing wholesale prices. Beauties bought at $1.50 per dozen are sold at three and four times the purchase price. For il- lustration, I will cite an instance of a grower who entered a retail store and priced his own mignonette on sale there. He was informed that $3 per dozen was the price. He then wondered why he was getting only $6 per hundred for it. To overcome a glut the retailers should aim to make large sales and small profits, instead of small sales and large profits. The ultimate results would be the same as far as profit is concerned, although a larger quantity of flowers has reached the consumer. There is too vast a difference in the price of flowers from the grower to the public. We should aim to reduce the cost of handling the stock from the time it leaves the greenhouses until it reaches the public. It seems some of the retail stores lo- cated on the main thoroughfares could dispose of large quantities of flowers by offering them at a reduced price. This they could do by eliminating all such ex- penses as deliveries of sales less than a certain amount, and by doing a cash business. This need not apply to all their trade, only to special sales, which may be called "bargain" for a certain day or time. The advertisement of bar- gains by the department stores is almost infallible bait to the public. Meeting Department Store Qjmpetition, A department store in a small town was selling carnations at 25 cents per dozen on Fridays and Saturdays. A re- tailer in the same town thought of meet- ing this price, and bought several thou- sand carnations to be put on sale the same days the department store was of- fering theirs. The retailer did this, not expecting to make a profit on the sales, but principally to meet the price of the department store. Making inquiry, he was offered carnations at $10 per thou- sand and he felt that he was being favored, but, to put it more correctly, he was doing the commission man a great favor in buying the carnations. Selling them at 25 cents per dozen, he disposed of as many as 5,000 on a Saturday. It is needless to say that beyond his ex- pectation it turned out to be a very prof- itable business for him. There are ways and means of selling large quantities of flowers, and surely our retailers are energetic and enterpris- ing enough to find them without having someone in another line of business to show them how. Ninety per cent of the public are lov- ers of flowers, and sixty per cent of them do not buy them because their means will not allow it. Why not, during a glut when flowers are cheap and plenti- ful, cater 'to the great masses and give them all an opportunity to enjoy the beauties of nature? That would cultivate a public taste for flowers. Many -pros- pective buyers hesitate to enter your store, because they have only a small sum to spend. It is indeed a fact that by some retailers the 25-cent customer is considered a nuisance. That is a very sad mistake. Special Sales. Many retailers hesitate to reduce the prices of flowers for fear that they could not get a better price when the glut is over. They claim that their customers cannot understand why the prices of flowers should vary. I am sure we all know why the price of strawberries varies, and we know it simply because the public has been educated along those lines. Not many of us can afford them in January, but there is a time in the year when we can buy them, no matter how humble our circumstances may be. The same can be said about flowers ; dur- ing a glut sell them at a price so that they may find their way into every home. But don't let the street faker do it for you. Another feature which is good for the business is to run special sales. There is hardly a time in the year when some stock is not more plentiful than others, which can be bought cheap. Advertise. How many florists do it? Some of the small local papers would be a good ad- vertising medium in certain sections. A "special sale" will bring the crowd, the people will get into the habit of fre- quenting your store, you are advertising your business. Must Cater to the Masses. In my estimation, the flower business today has reached such large proportions that the advancement of the trade can only be accomplished by catering to the great masses, and not so nmch to the few. Cooperation properly applied is indeed a fine thing; in fact, it is only then prac- tical when both or all parties concerned derive a benefit from their combined ef- forts. The definitien of the word co- operation, according to Webster, is "to operate jointly to the same end." The end in this case is mutual benefit, and without that there is no cooperation. Through cooperation is brought about a combined effort, which is much greater than the individual effort. Everyone concerned derives from such a combina- tion not a share of its strength and ben- efit, but all its force and good. If, in striving to advance our own position, we aim to advance that of the trade as well, we have true cooperation. Unselfishness and Faith. A man who toils solely for his own personal gain, who must make every transaction pay, regardless of the means to arrive at that point, is a menace to the trade in general. If each one of us would do a little something to better ex- isting conditions, and do it with the feeling that the advancement of our pro- fession is depending on our own indi- vidual effort, prompted by an unselfish interest, we w-ould soon arrive at a bet- ter understanding, which would reap its own reward. There is only one way that a man can help his trade, and that is by having faith in it, and confidence in those en- gaged in the same line of business. It is a terrible thing when we get so that we find fault with everything and every- body. We all know of some men who do this. There is not an honest man any- where. That is all wrong. Ours is a good profession to the man who is trying to better it. If we all had our shoulders to the wheel, lifting with all our might, there would be no time to see who else is lifting. It is all depending on indi- vidual effort to produce one great force. I would advocate cooperation, not only during the time of an overproduction, but for every day in the year. ASSESSMENTS ON STOCK. Will you kindly let yne know through the Review if there is any taxation on plants in or out of the greenhouse? 1 noticed some time ago in the Review that plants were not taxable and that assessment could not be enforced on same. Have you any decisions from any courts in regard to this matter? We have a smart farmer who happened to be appointed assessor by his farmer friend, and who of course knows it all, and who thinks that I must pay taxes on my stock of plants and business, and I call on your kindness to help me out with your val- uable advice! L. A. G. If L. A. G. lives in Ohio, he does not have to pay taxes on the crop of plants growing in his greenhouses. If that fool assessor is bound to put it on the tax list, go after his bondsmen, and also go to the auditor of your county at the The Weekly Florists' Review* JUMB 4, 1908. proper time and have it taken off. The farmer does not pay taxes on the grow- ing crop of corn, wheat or oats. On those grounds I always refuse to give in my crop and I have been sustained by our auditors here, in Auglaize county, Ohio. J. J. La WHENCE. VINCENT IN EUROPE. One of the Review's European cor- respondents sends the following: R. Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., who has been touring in Europe for the last six or seven weeks, brought his trip to a close Saturday, May 23, and embarked for New York with his wife and two granddaughters. On the look- out for novelties in zonal and regal pelar- goniums, he has visited the nurseries of the leading French and English hy- bridizers, and his stock will be augment- ed forthwith by the addition of the cream of the newest varieties found on the trip. For ten days he was associated with a party of fifty British horticulturists on a trip to the bulb fields of Holland and the leading nurseries in Belgium for azaleas, palms and bay trees. In an after-dinner speech in Ghent he gave an entertaining and interesting account of horticulture in America. He eulogized the great Quinquennial Exhibition in Ghent, disappointing only on account of the meager show of geraniums — but then, Belgium has not taken up geranium culture and several Belgians would scarce- ly credit that it was possible to run geraniums as a profitable line. He has looked up many old friends and made hosts of new ones in Belgium, Holland, France, England and Scotland. "Will ye no come back again!" if not always expressed in these words, at all events expressed the sentiments of many when the time for hand-shaking came around, and Mr. Vincent gave many promises that he would.

With the passing of Memorial day and the clearing of houses from bedding plants, we must not forget the little smilax plants which will now be impa- tient for a shift into the beds. As between benches and solid beds, the lat- ter are far preferable for smilax culture. The soil you would use for chrysanthe- mums or carnations will suit them nicely. Houses which are not well adapted for the growing of cut flowers will answer for smilax, provided a tem- perature of 55 degrees in winter can be maintained. Put strings to the little plants as soon after planting as possi- ble. If neglected too long, you will have a veritable jungle of shoots to disentan- gle. While it is more profitable to replant smilax every year, it is sometimes grown in the same beds for two or more years. As the demand for strings will be light after the June wedding season ends, any beds which it is intended to carry over can then be kept on the dry side for a couple of months, later removing some of the old surface soil and giving a lib- eral top-dressing before starting them up. The planting of young smilax can be done as late as the middle of July, and we have seen plantings made in August do well. Primulas. The temperature during May was this season unusually high and, unless the necessary shade was given, the little seedlings of primulas and other plants may have sustained some injury. A cold- frame is decidedly the best place for them for the next ten or twelve weeks. The sashes should be tilted both top and bottom all the time, and instead of whitewashing the glass heavily, as is too often done, use light lath shading, which can be rolled on and off the sashes according to the weather requirements. Primulas need shade, but a constant, heavy shade will make them soft and spindling. Using these removable shades means a little more work, but it also gives you far stockier and more satisfac- tory plants at the end of the season. Answering several inquiries, we would say that it is now much too late to sow seed of Primula Sinensis or obconica. The seed does not germinate so well in summer as in winter and, under the most favorable conditions, the plants would be very small for winter sales. The first batch should now be in 3-inch pots and successional sowings have been transplanted into flats. Always use a good proportion of leaf-mold, with a smaller quantity of loam and sand, for the plants in the early stages, and do not allow careless hands to use the hose on them. Cycas Revoluta. Cycas revoluta takes up considerable space, but the fronds are valuable and the plants themselves make useful lawn specimens. Dry stems are now procura- ble and should be potted into as small sized pots as they can be squeezed into, then placed in a warm, moist house where they can be damped over once or twice a day. Sometimes they will start to grow in a month or six weeks, while oc- casionally they will remain dormant for six months. Old plants, which you may not have space for in the houses, can be stood outdoors under the shade of trees, where, if they can be reached with the hose, they will make almost as good growths as under glass. In potting up the dry stems, use plenty of drainage and a compost of turfy loam, broken charcoal and sand. Pruning Flower Shrubs. Too often we still see what would be nice specimens of deciduous flowering shrubs trimmed each fall with an Italian garden precision su£Qcient to sicken the heart of any lover of trees and shrubs. The time to prune flowering shrubs is after they have done blooming. If this work is done earlier, much of the flow- ering wood will be cut away and the plants will present forlorn pictures. The present is a suitable time to do any necessary trimming to the for- sythias, spireeas, deutzias, loniceras, ex- ochordas and other varieties which have passed out of bloom. Cut away the long shoots which contain little new growth, and all weak wood. Give every chance to the strong young growths coming from the base. In doing this pruning, contrive to leave the plants shapely. It is surprising the growth which they will make during the next few weeks. This summer pruning is too seldom done. If once tried, its advantages will speak forcibly another season. Sowing Perennial Seeds. Many of the hardy herbaceous plants may be readily increased from seeds at the present time. While aquilegias and delphiniums would have been more vig- orous if sown in March, there is still ample time to secure good, stocky plants of each before fall. As between sowing the seeds outdoors and under glass, it is better to utilize a few of the vacant coldframes for this purpose. Outdoors the weather conditions are very uncertain and, with a long spell of dry weather, many of the little seedlings would probably perish and many never show above the surface. In a frame kept close and shaded until the seed- lings appear, then more freely venti- lated and finally with the sashes re- moved, success is certain. In addition to perennials, a number of biennials may also be sown now with advantage. These latter include Cam- panula Medium or Canterbury bells, rockets, sweet-williams and foxgloves. Among herbaceous plants readily raised from seed are Pyrethrum roseum, use- ful for cutting in June; tritomas, stately and showy late fall perennials; Papaver orientale and nudicaule; Pentstemons barbatus Torreyi and Digitalis; lychnis, hibiscus, gypsophila, all the campanulas, anchusas, Alyssum saxatile, aubrietia and any of the hardy asters. Holly- bocks, Coreopsis grandiflora, Gaillardia grandiflora and the several lychnis need not be sown for a month yet. Use light soil for these seeds and water through a fine rose. Lay mats over the sashes to prevent drying out until the seedlings appear. Advantage can be taken of showery spells to trans- plant the little seedlings into nursery rows. If transplanting is done when the ground is moist and the weather cloudy, the percentage of loss will be small. Brief Reminders. Lift tulips, narcissi and hyacinths to make room for bedding plants. Heel them thickly into partially shaded ground, lifting and storing them when the tops have died down. It does not pay to carry over hyacinths, and the early tulips do indifferently a second year. Narcissi, however, last well. Get the benches ready for the single- stemmed mums and do not allow them to become hard before planting out. If your bench is not ready, it will be better to shift the mums into a size larger pots. Now is the time to plan for painting, glazing and other repairs, rather than just before frost is due.

Use whale oil soap again if aphis continues to trouble them. Cut the peony flowers early in the morning and place in deep jars of water in the cellar as soon as possible. If cut with the sun shining on them, they will last poorly. Plant out any left-over azaleas or other hard-wooded plants you may still have standing around. Plant out your own flower beds. Keep the lawn mowed and your approach neat. It will attract customers. GERANIUM PAUL CRAMPEL. The zonal geranium Paul Crampel is one of the best sorts in its class, useful either as a bedder or as a pot plant for Christmas sales. It is a Cannell variety, one of the English round-flowered sec- tion, decidedly preferable to doubles for Christmas sales. B. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., in its 1908 catalogue, gives a list of geraniums which it classes as "newer varieties of special merit." Of Paul Crampel it is said: "A magnificent sin- gle bedding variety that promises to supersede all other scarlets owing to its splendid habit and its ironclad constitu- tion; dwarf and vigorous, close jointed grower; gigantic trusses; exceedingly free in bloom." Elsewhere in the cata- logue it says, "After the introduction of that splendid bedding variety, Paul Crampel, one would be tempted to form an idea that a further improvement was well-nigh impossible." W. N. Craig says Paul Crampel is "a magnificent bright scarlet, as good for bedding as for pot culture. It is a compact grower, dwarf and vigorous. Trusses are of immense size, and as bril- liant in coloring as poinsettias. This unique sort should displace others of its color now in general use." In flowering for Christmas, cuttings should be placed in 2-inch or 2 1^ -inch pots during January or February, using a compost of sandy loam. Stand the pots quite close together, on a bench where a little bottom heat will reach them. Give a good soaking of water and let them become rather dry before wa- tering again. Avoid syringings over- head, which are more harmful than ben- eficial. The plants need no shade what- ever and ninety-five per cent should root. Shift to 4-inch pots when nicely rooted and later to 6-inch, where they may be flowered unless extra large plants are required, in which case a further shift to 8-inch may be given. For the final pottings a compost of turfy loam and well rotted and dried cow manure, to which are added some sharp sand and a pinch of bone meal, is suitable. Pot quite firmly. The plants will need some pinching until the end of August, after which time, if desired for Christmas flowering, it can be discontin- ued. Experience has taught some grow- ers that the plants do better kept under glass all the time, giving them a little shade in summer. In feeding avoid the use of too much liquid manure. It pro- duces too rank and soft growth. IN IOWA. The establishment of E. Friederich- sen & Sons, Wilton Junction, la., is typical of a large class in the trade. It is an especially important class this year, because of the fact that such places are enjoying just as much business as they ever had, with the opportunities for development only limited by the in- dustry with which the proprietor pur- sues his work. Friederichsen & Sons have about 12,- 000 feet of glass and grow a great va- riety of stock, for their business is ex- clusively retail and the many requirer ments of the people of a small, rural western community must all be met. Pot plants occupy as much space as cut flow- ers, the bedding trade being also a large feature. Good use is made of hotbeds as a means of increasing the production. Vegetables, as well as vegetable plants, are grown and there is outlet for all that is produced. Not only is this west- ern country full of money as a result of several years of good crops, but com- petition is less keen than it is in the east and, if one person does not buy, it is always possible to push along until some one is found who will purchase. THE RUFFLED GLADIOLUS. A Coming Flower. Keferring to various articles com- menting on my new strain of ruffled gladioli and its origin, since its an- nouncement in the Eeview of January 23, I wish to offer a few words of ex- planation in reply. As to its origin I cannot do better than repeat the history of its production as given by me in previous notes on this strain, namely: "About a dozen years ago I began se- lections with a view to crossing, in the hope of producing a frilled or ruffled gladiolus as beautifully formed as au azalea. I' got the clue from observing in some varieties a tendency to vary somewhat from the regular or smooth petals. "After many matings and failures I was at last rewarded about five years ago by the desired results. The first flower to show was an ideal cream in color, with a tint of blush and a striking- ly marked red feather on three lower petals. One variety is white, and some- what smaller in size of flower than the cream-colored sort. There are several shades of pink and yellow, also purples, in the varieties now under process of development, all beautifully ruffled. ' ' From this it will be clearly seen that I have improved, by years of selection and crossing, a type of gladiolus which all who have seen pronounce a marvel of beauty and form and a great advance in this already remarkable flower. White Lady, America and other varieties have been used for a number of years, as well as one of the light colored species. There are at present over 50,000 seedlings of the ruffled stock in various stages of development. Mr. Christie expresses an opinion that Establishment of E. Friederichsen & Sons, Wilton Junction, la. 8 The Weekly Florists^ Review* '■4^.'.. ■■■t •> . ■,■ !;; '.'v^' ■'t '•/,'• >.■'■•- JUNB 4, 1908. ruffled gladioli may be the result of sport variation or due to high culture. This may explain the appearance of some va- rieties, but does not account for the new strain reported by me, as with these, and with all of my seedlings, I always destroy their cormels until blooms have shown, in order to avoid as much as pos- sible their appearance in other mixtures. By this method I am certain of their be- ing original seedlings. At no time in the creation of this new strain have I made use of any high culture or forcing to produce the object to be attained, as I was well aware that flowers so produced are more likely to rapidly deteriorate and be lost under ordinary or poor culture. From the many complimentary letters and inquiries which I have received since the announcement of ruffled gladioli, I feel that their introduction will be very favorably received and highly appreciated by all lovers of the new and beautiful in the floral world. A. E. Kundebd. JOSEPH HEACOCK. When the market is in particularly bad shape, and the buyers demand the most unheard-of things, assuring you that your competitors will do all and more than they ask, and when you can 't begin to do a tenth of these things and fill the hungry mouths that must be filled; then it is a pleasant thing to see someone who has weathered the turbuJent busi- ness sea and secured positive results. In good, plain English, I mean that when things worry most, then I like to take a good long walk over to Wyncote, Pa., to see Joseph Heacock and his place. I like to do this for several reasons. In the first place, a good walk has a calming effect, and makes difficult ques- tions seem easy. In the second place, Mr. Heacock always has a cordial wel- come ready, and should he chance to be out, the place is there, a place of about 80,000 feet of glass that typifies sub- stantial business results. When I look at that place I feel that, though the market prices fluctuate, there is one man who believes that cut flowers can be grown and sold profitably for many years to come; when the plant market is dull, that there is one man at least who be- lieves it will revive, and that his efforts to grow plants must not cease. I hope that the illustrations on the fol- lowing pages may encourage some Ee- viEW readers in the way that the actual objects themselves have encouraged me. The interior of the office, of which a view is given, I have always thought one of the prettiest bits of work to be found among florists' business places. The open fireplace appeals to me especially. The shed, lately remodeled, is an excellent example of the healthy conditions that should prevail in our working quarters; plenty of room, plenty of light, plenty of air. The greenhouses are laid out with the aim of securing the most light, the greatest protection from the north wind and the highest economy of space. A pretty touch is shown in the third picture, where Mr. Heacock may be seen at his 100-foot hedge of Dorothy Per- kins rose. Phil. CARRYING ROSE PLANTS OVER. Ripening the Wood* To carry a house of roses successfully and profitably over a second season re- quires a deal of careful preparation and study. To make a success, we must be- gin the preparations early. Where the plants are in table benches, where the root action, water supply, etc., can be controlled and the plants ripened in a week or so, there is no need to hurry at this season, but where the plants are in solid benches it is well to begin early, as the work of ripening the wood re- quires a longer period. Begin by gradually withholding water from the roots. In fact, if the syringe is kept going to keep down spider, that is all the water they will require. Spider must not be allowed to increase, as the full complement of leaves is required to complete the ripening process and any leaves allowed to become the prey of spider are a dead loss to the plants. Air must be given freely, both night and day, aa this is a great factor in hastening the ripening. The soil in the bench must not be allowed to become so dry as to cause the young wood to wilt or cause the plants to shed their leaves. It requires from three weeks to a month to complete the ripening process, even in the brightest kind of weather. After the plants are ripe they should be carefully pruned, removing all the small and blind wood and cutting back the stronger growths to three or four eyes. Remove as much of the old soil as can be safely done without injuring the roots, and fill up with a good, rich mulch, to which has been added a gen- erous sprinkling of bone meal. Bibes. FROM POTS TO BENCH. I have my roses in 3-inch pots. They are well filled and ready for a shift. Will it be all right to set them in their permanent bed, and what distance apart? J. L. B. Stock in 3-inch pots, ready for a shift. should either be shifted or planted. And, as this is the proper season for planting, if everything is in order for that operation the plants will do bet- ter in the benches than in pots. The area which plants require de- pends entirely on the varieties grown. Brides, Golden Gate, Chatenay and va- rieties of similar growth require from 144 to 200 superficial inches. Beauties require more. Richmond can be well grown on one foot of space. Eibbs. BREEDING WILD ROSES. [A paper by W. Van Fleet, Little Sliver, N. J., read before the American Breeders' Asso- ciation, continued from the Review of May 28.] R. laevigata can be induced to form viable seeds with pollen of a considerable number of species and varieties, but our seedlings, even under careful green- house treatment, have not reached the blooming age, though many grow with considerable vigor for a year or two. R. Wichuraiana, pollinated with laevigata, has given a hardy and beautiful climb- ing rose with large, shining foliage, and enormous semi-double white blooms, yel- low in bud. It is apparently a variety of much value. Seedlings of laevigata crossed with the best white teas and hy- brid perpetuals are again under way, but are likely to perish as before. The only known commercial hybrid of the Chero- kee rose is Anemone, with large single pink flowers. It is supposed to be a blend of laevigata with a tea rose. Two Favorite Types, R. multiflora has great promise as a breeder for garden roses. The type read- ily produces densely double blooms of good size, as a result of crossing with superior garden varieties. . Crimson Rambler and others of the polyantha section are being widely used as seed or pollen parents and with excellent results. Multiflora x Persian yellow has produced with us a climbing variety having buds of flaming nasturtium scarlet, opening into yellow double blooms, which suc- cessively change to white and finally to pale rose. R. Wichuraiana has leaped at one bound to a foremost position among rose species desirable for breeding. Thou- sands of hybrids have been raised in all rose-growing countries. Something like fifty-four named varieties of Wichuraiana and parentage had been put in commerce by the end of 1905, and others appear each season. Wichuraiana hybridizes so readily that it is scarcely possible to grow the species true from seeds, if other roses in the vicinity bloom at the same time. Its late season of flowering and facility of bud propagation are all that will save the type from disappearing un- der cultivation. It appears to readily blend with almost all species and varie- ties, the hybrid blooms largely taking on the characteristics of those of the pollen parent, while the plant retains much of Wichuraiana habit. Some of the most beautiful new garden roses owe their at- tractions to Wichuraiana influence. So far, however, the greatest success has been with direct or bi-specific hybrids. Attempts to grow secondary and dilute crosses, though very general, have not met with conspicuous success, the off- springs reverting or falling off In qual- ity to a remarkable degree. There is widespread desire to produce continuous blooming roses of Wichuraiana character. This has seldom been accomplished by direct crossing, but many dwarf contin- uous blooming plants result from seeds June 4, 1908. ThcWcckly Florists' Review. ■ . ■ •- .

(Mr. Heacock in the foreground.) of characteristic Wichuraiana hybrids, either self or cross fertilized. They are seldom of any value from a rosarian's standpoint. The Most Promising of AIL B. rugosa is plainly the most hopeful species for breeding high class garden varieties. The hardiness, vigor and hand- some foliage of the species and its im- mediate varieties, together with the great size and fragrance of the flowers and the long blooming season, at once place it beyond comparison. The work of ameli- oration has been found to be slow and diflBcult, though steady progress is made. More than one hundred hybrids and va- rieties have been introduced to general cultivation and scores of good ones are still in the hands of originators. Con- trary to experience with Wichuraiana, the best results are gained in dilute rugosa crosses. It is necessary to remove two or more generations from the wild types to gain texture of petal and purity of coloring. This has been done in such superior varieties as Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, the result of a double cross rep- resented by Gloire de Dijon x Due de Rohan (hybrid perpetual) x rugosa Ger- manica, the last a hybrid between rugosa and a Provence rose. The blooms are perfect from the fancier's viewpoint and are most freely produced throughout summer, but the rugosa foliage has van- ished. The writer has produced, by pol- linating a selected double flowering hy- brid rugosa with Victor Hugo, a plant of extreme rugosa character, with large, densely double blooms, scariet-crimson in color, but of such fire and brilliancy that they even surpass those of its glowing pollen-parent. Other crosses of white rugosa on Qothilde Soupert, a tea-poly- antha variety, resulted in the splendid continuous-blooming varieties, New Cen- tury, white, with blush center, and Sir Thomas Lipton, pure white, that are well worth growing in the most exclusive gar- dens. The possibilities of R. rugosa are slowly yielded, but will be of overwhelm- ing value to future breeders. Something should be said of R. spino- sissima and R. lutea in their best garden forms. The Scotch rose and Harrison's Yellow both hybridize well with rugosa and have produced very attractive varie- ties. The writer has not succeeded so well when using Austrian Copper and Persian Yellow. Hopeful species for breeding that should be introduced in this country are R. gigantea, a large flowered climbing species, native of Bur- ma, that has produced a superior variety in Portugal, by crossing with Gloire de Dijon; R. Hugonis, yellow-flowered, and R. Soulieana, with white flowers in corymbs, both native to western China. THE FOUNDATION OF SUCCESS. [A paper by B. T. Galloway, chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, read before the Horticultural So- ciety of New Yorlt, continued from the Review of May 21 and 28.] In connection with what has been said of spot, I may call attention to a simple experiment which shows how important it is to keep the plants surrounded by healthful conditions. An Experiment With Spot. Two bell- jars covering two plants show the manner in which the experi- ment is carried on. We can produce spot at will by spraying the foliage with water in which the spores or reproductive bodies have been placed. Now, if we spray the leaves of an ordinary plant out in the open and the plant soon dries off, there is no infection. If, however, we cover the plant with a bell-jar the air within this bell-jar becomes saturated and the leaves are covered with moist- ure. Within from thirty-six to forty- eight hours after such a plant has been sprayed with water containing the fun- gus spores, the minute spots begin to show; in two or three days more the spots are quite prominent; then if the bell-jar is removed a whitish appearance develops, indicating that the fungus has been checked by the drying off of the plant. Within another few days the plant is speckled and spotted with a beautiful case of the disease. The foliage is now all trimmed off down to the base of the crown and a new set of leaves are allowed to grow. When these have fully formed, a second inoculation is made in the same way as before. The leaves are again cut off and allowed to grow and a third inoculation is made. The leaves are again cut off, but after this it will not be necessary to make any inoculation or even to cover the plants with the bell-jar, as the spores, always present within the house, will continue the inoculating process and the plant will become infected just as fast as the leaves appear. In ^^ther words, by this continued treatment, the plant has been weakened or it has been made to develop certain conditions which make infection constant. The same thing can be accomplished in a whole house of violet plants by improper treatment either through fumigation methods, wa- tering, or improper ventilation. Stem-rot The next disease to which attention should be called is one we have called stem-rot. This is the malady which usu- ( Continued on pagre 80) 10 The Weekly Florists' Review. June 4, 1908. DECORATION DAY. The Decoration day reports vary greatly, but it is noted that there is everything to indicate that the demand for flowers for memorial purposes is still on the increase. It is shown that the local retail busi- ness was good nearly everywhere that it did not rain May 30. The farther west the reports so fax received came from, the better the story was, the Mississippi valley hav- ing certainly the largest business ever experienced on Memorial day. While wholesale markets in many cases were overstocked, the local trade in the small cities and country towns was greater than ever, practically throughout the country. The principal dissatisfaction with the holiday business comes from unfavor- able weather conditions. Unseasonably warm weather for the last half of May made stock of much lower quality than usual. All flowers were soft and shipped poorly. In the east retailers stocked up only to have heavy rain interfere with their sales. But, on the whole, the quantity ofc flowers consumed May 30 was greater than it ever has been before and there is every reason to believe that with more favorable weather conditions in succeeding years the importance of this day in trade circles will continue on the increase. It is worthy of special note that there was no extra demand for white and those who stored up white stock in anticipation of increased prices were sadly disappointed. There is no holi- day at which there is an extra call for white flowers. They always should be marketed promptly when ready. CREOSOTE IN GREENHOUSES. I note in the Review of May 14 the remarks of Thomas H. White with re- gard to concrete slabs for bench bottoms. He concludes : "I should think it would pay to use the slabs even if wood sup- ports were used, as the supports could be treated with some of the creosote preparations and would last a good many years. It is the bottom boards that need so much renewal." I am specially interested in the refer- ence to creosote, for I always have sup- posed that creosote, while a good pre- servative of wood, was injurious to plant life and that it could not safely be used aoout a greenhouse. I should like to hear, through the Review, from those whose experience gives them definite informa- tion on this subject. If there is any wood preservative that can be safely used, I think we all want to know about it. In reply to the foregoing inquiry, re- garding creosote in greenhouses, we would say that we have consulted some of the foremost chemists on this subject and they say that it is not safe to use creosote or similar preparations for pre- serving wood in greenhouses. It is an accepted fact, known by everyone, that tar is injurious to plant life and none would think of using it. As creosote is a product of coal tar, and in view of the fact that it gives off an odor containing properties very similar to those thrown off by tar, we think it should be excluded from the greenhouse. Creosote is also made from wood and the principles of it are very similar to the principles of carbolic acid and tar oil. There is no question but what creosote is a preservative of wood, for it has been tried all over the country in hun- dreds of ways. Blocks for street paving have been saturated with it, and also bridge timbers and railroad ties. For uses of this kind it is well adapted, but we hardly think that it would be ad- visable for the florist to use it in pre- serving lumber for benches. Creosote would not mix with water, nor would it affect the soil in the benches, but the odor is dangerous. What is true of cre- osote may also be said of all other wood preservatives which we have heard of. We say again that it should not be used for greenhouses. JCHN C. MONINQEE CO. I have read the paragraph concerning the use of creosote in greenhouses with a great deal of interest. The Forest Serv- ice of the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture, up to the present time, has carried on no experiments in the preservative treatment of greenhouse construction timbers. Such work, however, is about to be undertaken in cooperation with S. Jacobs & Sons, Brooklyn, N. Y., manu- facturers of greenhouses and horticul- tural buildings. It is probable that cre- osote, mercuric chloride and zinc chloride will be the preservatives employed. Cre- osote, on account of its nature, will prob- ably be undesirable for use in most of the timbers, due to the fact that timbers so treated will not take a coat of white paint subsequently, which, I understand, is very desirable on account of the re- flected light. In the benches, however, and in other portions of the buildings, where conditions of warm, damp air are at a maximum, and where painting is not necessary, creosote will probably prove to be the most eflBcient preservative. From past experience in other countries it seems probable that neither creosote nor the antiseptic salts, if properly in- jected into the timber, will have any in- jurious effect upon the growing plants.

While it cannot be said that Memorial day trade surpassed that of its prede- cessors, there was a large volume of business transacted and, everything being considered, growers and retailers had no cause for complaint. The weather dur- ing the week was hot, averaging 80 to 85 degrees in the shade. This brought along a tremendous crop of roses and carnations and the advance in prices in both these lines was small. Roses, owing to the heat, were generally of inferior quality, excepting the better grades of Richmond and Killarney. There was lit- tle change in price, but better clear- ances were effected. Flowers selling at from $2 to $6 per hundred were in most request. Carnations were brought in by the tens of thousands. The quality had de- teriorated much with the high tempera- ture and prices ruled much lower than a year ago. The quality also was inferior on the whole. Prices varied all the way from $2 to $5, colored sorts, of course, selling the best. Whites were inclined to be druggy. Sweet peas varied all the way from 25 cents to $1.25 per hundred. Stems on these are getting short com- pared with those seen at Easter. Quite a few gladioli were seen and found ready purchasers. There was also a good supply of lilies, mostly longi- florums. Lily of the valley from out- doors was abundant and the best of it was much superior to the average forced product. Little Dutch bulbous stock was seen, the heat having been too much for them. With the exception of some of the Darwin and other late tulips and the double white gardenia-scented nar- cissus, this class was unrepresented. Of white candytuft, stocks in various colors, snapdragons, Spiraea Japonica and mar- guerites, there was a heavy supply, most of these being sold in bunches. Lilac was on the wane to a large extent, but fresh samples sold well, as did sprays of Deutzia Lemoinei and D. gracilis, vi- burnums and Spireea Van Houttei. A few peonies were seen, chiefly the old Office of the Joseph Heacock Co., Wyncote, Pa. JdNk 4, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review. n Office and Greenliouse Gables at Establishment of Joseph Heacock Co., Wyncote, Pa^ double crimson, and quite a few German iris. Memorial day weather was far from ideal. The humidity was excessive, the sun failed to show itself and heavy show- ers fell at intervals, ending in a veri- table downpour and gale towards even- ing. The volume of business done in out- lying cities and towns seems to have been fully equal to that of a year ago, some growers selling more than ever before. In addition to cut flowers, there was quite an active call for bedding plants of all the more popular kinds. Business since Memorial day has been quiet. Flowers, owing to continued hot weather, are of indifferent quality. The numerous weddings scheduled to take place, as well as school graduations, will call for a considerable amount of mate- rial for the next three weeks. Quite a few single peonies are coming in and some doubles are also seen. These are fully two weeks earlier than in 1907. From present indications Jacq roses from the open will be available within a week. There is a fair call for lily of the val- ley. Some of the frame and outdoor- grown stock is of splendid quality. Among roses, Kaiserin is assuming the lead. Not many Carnot are yet seen. Fair Maid sells well among carnations. This is still favored by some as a profit- able summer variety. Varioui Notes. From present indications there will be a fine show of rhododendrons at Horti- cultural hall June 6 and 7. Other fea- tures will be iris, wistarias, orchids, her- baceous flowers in variety and azaleas. The estate of Prof. C. 8. Sargent at Holm Lea, Brookline, will be utilized for a big charity fete -June 6. The magnifi- cent collections of azaleas, rhododen- drons, wistarias and other seasonable flowers will be at their beat and an at- tendance of many thousands is expected. The 200 acres of beautifully laid out grounds are in themselves an irresistible attraction for an army of flower lovers. S. J. Goddard had the heaviest Me- morial day trade since he started busi- ness, his home trade being specially good. Reports from the several seed stores are that business has averaged up well as compared with previous years. Owing to the warmer season, there are fewer re- ports of seeds failing to germinate. John McFarland, of North Easton, had an extra fine lot of valley and stocks for Memorial day. A. Roper is, as usual, bringing in quan- tities of extra good Fair Maid carna- tions. This variety was introduced by Mr. Roper and has always proved a pop- ular and profitable summer sort around Boston. J. T. Butterworth had a splendid lot of cattleyaa right for Memorial day, also his usual fine lot of lily of the valley. Thanks to the unusual mildness of the winter, there is this season the finest display of rhododendrons seen for many years on many estates in and around Boston. Even some kinds of doubtful hardiness are blooming profusely. In both the Arnold arboretum and park sys- tem there is a beautiful show of these handsome shrubs at present. E. J. Shaylor has tendered an invita- tion to the garden committee of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society to visit and inspect his extensive collection of peonies in a few days. Mr. Shaylor ^as a magnificent collection, gathered from all the best European sources, at his nursery in "Wellesley Hills. W. N. Craig. DETROIT. TheMaricet We have been having a variety of weather the last few weeks, with hot predominating. Decoration day business was satisfac- tory to all concerned. The sale of plants for the cemeteries was about the same as in previous years. There was a big demand for all kinds of cut flowers, cleaning up the market. The local com- mission houses report a big shipping business, far exceeding that of last year. The market was well cleaned up last week, but a spell of warm weather has again been getting in its work; conse- quently there is an abundance of stock on hand at the present writing. The opening of the beautiful new building of the Detroit City Gas Co., the new offices of the First National Bank in the Ford sky-scraper, and the reception on the new D. & C. boat, the City of Cleveland, all called for a lot of stock. Many baskets of flowers and plants were used, also many hundred Beauties and other roses. All of the large stores had their share of this work. Various Notes. This has been an exceptionally fine sea- son for shrubbery of all kinds. The season was about two weeks in advance of former years, due to considerable warm rain in the early part of spring. White and lavender lilac, honeysuckle, Spiraea Van Houttei, etc., were never seen better. There was an unusually big de- mand for small boxwoods. Some of the downtown stores had pretty windows for Memorial day. Sul- livan had a well made flag as a back- ground. Breitmeyer had the largest win- dows draped with large American flags. Schroeter's window was laid out to rep- resent a lot in a cemetery, with flower bed, grave, etc. H. S. I MUST have the Review; the florists' best paper. — ^D. H. Green, West Grove. Ionia, Mich. — Decoration day trade was a record breaker. Everything with a "posy" on it was cleaned out. Both M. Wetterling and D. L. Vincent had an excellent stock of geraniums, etc. M.

When a business man has a reputation aa a "good collector" he at once be- comes known in his community as prompt pay, prosperous and progressive. The Eeview will be pleased to hear from anyone who would like to contribute periodical news letters from any city where there is not already a correspond- ent. The bedding-out trade is no less than it was last year. In the height of the season everyone who makes a specialty of this class of work always has all he can do. The salvia requires much sun for its best development, but will produce bloom quite well in partial shade, though plants and flowers will both be smaller under such conditions. Glass factories are closing early this year, because of low prices, high wages and an unprofitable market. The prob- abilities are that glass will be no cheaper this season and that, on the other hand, prices may rise. As happens nearly every spring, just before Memorial day there was a strong demand for geraniums in flower, the bed- ding out having used up all such stock, while later iu the season there may be a surplus because of the stock which was not ready at the time wanted. A gera- nium must be in flower at the date bed- ding is done to be salable. PEONY SOC3ETY MEETING.

Albert M. Herb, Sec'y. GOOD CROP PROSPECT. Dispatches indicate that the crops are making good progress, although planting is still retarded at some points by rain. This factor and low temperature in other sections tend to make the crops late, but as yet there is no evidence of curtailed output. About the customary area of cotton land will have to be replanted be- cause of floods, adding to the cost of the crop, but not necessarily reducing the yield. Most reports indicate that cotton is growing well. Both winter and spring wheat states report favorable progress and harvesting will soon begin in the early districts. There is less com- plaint of insects than at this time last year. Corn planting is being pushed rap- idly, but excessive moisture retards prog- ress at some points and the growth is backward on the whole. Many states report great improvement as to the rainy weather, and as the ground dries there is especial pressure to get the crop under way, owing to the attractive prices prevailing. Oats and hay are in excellent condition, present prospects promising large yields of both, and the leading fruit crops are doing nicely. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Probably the most notable thing about the Decoration day business was thb almost exact duplication of last year's splendid results in money value of sales, with conditions as radically different from last year's as it is possible to imagine. The big days were Thursday and Fri- day, and while some houses did less on these days than on the corresponding days last year, a number of wholesalers re- port some little increase in the total of sales, so that the result for these days was probably as good as last year. But the record for the week does not make so satisfactory a showing. Last year stock was exceedingly scarce and high in price and a big business was done every day in the week. This year stock was overabundant and the early days of the week were decidedly dull, which cut down the week's record, as compared with last year. Considering the entire week, it is prob- ably a conservative estimate to say that fifty per cent more flowers realized ten per cent less money than in the. week in which Decoration day fell last year. The volume of business certainly was something tremendous. Several houses say they shipped more boxes of flowers 3vvt 4. idol.

Wholesale Florists "f^f^^'^r" 19-21 Randolph St., Chicago Mention The Review when you write. May 28 than on any other day in their history.' It is ' a decidedly conservative . estimate to say that the quantity of flowers handled this day was only half again as large as the quantity handled the second day before Decoration day last year. Some wholesalers say they . handled double the quantity, and it is doubtless the fact that the market han- dled more flowers on that day than in any other twenty-four hours since Chi- cago became "the great central mar- ket." Friday was not nearly so heavy a day as Thursday — about two-thirds the vol- ume of business is the general estimate. Saturday morning there was a lively lo- cal demand and some shipping, but many houses closed at noon. Others say they found enough to keep all hands busy up to the usual closing time, and there was good business Sunday morning. After the rush was over it was found the market was fairly well cleaned out, as thoroughly as could be expected with the enormous volume of receipts. The growers had made the usual mistake of storing up white carnations in anticipa- tion of an extra demand. This never now develops at a holiday, and, as at Easter, there were white carnations which had to be dumped when they had stood in the wholesale house the limit of their endurance, which, in many cases, was not long. The anticipate shortage of peonies develqped into tne opposite condition; there were so many fresh arrivals that thers wae little occasion for sending to the cold storage houses for the quan- tities of indifferent stoct put away from the southern crop. First-class peonies held their prices because, as usually is the case, a large part of the stock was > of unsatisfactory quality. But there ' were such immense quantities of the I second and lower grade peonies that i the poorer stock realized exceedingly low 'prices and not all were sold. A great Ideal of the stock in the freezer will be a total loss. Eoses cleaned up better than had been expected, there being only small quan- tities of short-stemmed stock left. There has been no Decoration day in recent years when the quality of all stock has been so low. The weather was decidedly unfavorable. Carnations were soft and the whites, especially, perished in a few hours. Neither roses nor peonies were of the quality usually sent out from this market and many complaints will in- evitably result. Buyers should bear in mind that the wholesaler cannot ship any better stock than the weather per- mits. As a rule, wholesalers went to much trouble to pick out the best stock possible for all shipping orders. So poor was the average quality that there was strong demand for the little really good material. Good carnations, especially the colored sorts, were in strong demand. Enchantress, in a measure, shared the fate of the white. Red roses sold bet- ter than any other color. The cape jasmine placed in cold stor- age proved practically a total loss. On coming out of the freezer they promptly turned yellow and, in some cases, did not realize storage charges. There were practically no fresh capes, the crop hav- ing been too early in Texas. Sweet peas, lilies, valley, gladioli and miscellaneous items sold about as they usually do. There was no advance iQ price and no special demand. Those who had expected a large increase in the call for green goods were disap- pointed. The month has been a bad one for the specialists in this line. Since Memorial day there has been fair business on certain specialties, such as are wanted for weddings and other seasonable work. The houses that are shy on this class of stock complain of dull trade. The Weather in May. The average grower may be. inclined to dispute it, but the weather professor in the dome of the post-oflBce avfers that there were eight clear days in May.

A.L.RandallCo. 19-21 Randolph St., CHICAQO There Were eleven partly cloudy, and twelve on which the sun did not shine. It got to be as warm as 87 degrees in the weather man's office May 25, and there were four other days 80 degrees or above. The rainfall was 6.74, or prac- tically twice as much as the average. The May Business. It is unfair to compare the May busi- ness with that of last year. May of 1907 was an exceptional month, a period of cold weather, no outdoor flowers, brisk demand and high prices for greenhouse crop. It is no wonder that May of this year does not compare favorably with it. Go back another year and this May does not seem so bad. In fact, had it not been for the interminable rains there would have been nothing to complain of, even compared with last year. ''Shipping was good, but local demand was poor throughout the month. Stock was in large supply and it rained so frequently that the retailers had little transient trade and the outdoor salesmen were day after day prevented from ply- ing their vocation. The result was ex- tremely low values for stock. Not Hard Times. E. C. Amling says that the Memorial day business proves, what he has main- JUMB 4, 1908.

He says he believes the flower business has been less affected as a consequence of last fall's financial upheaval, than almost any line of merchandising. Mr. Amling points out that, while the wholesalers did not do quite as much business, as measured by money value, last week as in the same week a year ago, the retailers must have done much more than they did last year, because disposition was made of a vast quantity of stock, a much greater quantity than was sold last year. All this found its way to the public through one channel or another. Mr. Amling says he believes retail prices were not specially lower than last year and that the public must there- fore have spent a much larger sum for flowers than it did for Memorial day in 1907. Various Notes. The Republican national convention will be held in Chicago June 16 and the following days. It will crowd the city and will doubtless bring some extra business to the Hauswirth store and others similarly located, but, as a general proposition, such events interfere with and reduce the general run of business. If appears that the more excitement there is the less thought people give to buying flowers. Weiland & Risch expect to plant their new range at Evanston by June 15. They are making rapid progress. W. E. Lynch, at E. H. Hunt's, says the Decora.tion day business was the best they ever had, in spite of the low prices. Phil Schupp says that J. A. Budlong 's receipts of carnations last week were approximately 90,000. On the evening of Friday, May 29, in the midst of a heavy rain, thieves with a horse and wagon burglarized one of Peter Reinberg's storage rooms and carried off at least a thousand roses. It is thought they were looking for the day's cut of Mrs. Field but failed to find it, as it had already been sold, and took Richmond instead! The A. L. Randall Co. reports that May 28 and 29 were considerably the largest days in its history in quantity of stock handled, exceeding last year in the money value of sales for those two days, but the rest of the week fell below last year. Wietor Bros, say that, judging from their business in mum cuttings, there should be plenty of stock in the autumn, and many buyers do not order until the stock is in 2-inch pots, which will not be until the middle of June. One grower, who did not ship heavily and said carnation crops were going off, managed to send in 52,000 May 28 and 29. Many of them were white and would have realized more money if sent in when ready. The E. F. Winterson Co. reports a fair season in its seed department, and a splendid plant business in the last fort- night. The seed business is about over, but they expect to do something with plants all through June. Vaughan & Sperry, who are located in the Flower Growers' market, say their experience was the reverse of that of most of the houses, in that May 29 with tbem was a considerably heavier day than May 28.

There is one greenhouse and two more are under way. Swain Nelson & Sons are doing the landscape work. Frank Rose is head gardener. Percy Jones says that someone ought to come around the market selling diaries with an admonition not to save up white stock printed over the days just be- fore each holiday; every wholesaler would buy enough books to give each grower one. George Nixon, formerly running the flower department at the Fair, has suc- ceeded to the business of George Harris at Pittsburg. Bassett & Washburn say that if June continues as well as it started off, they will be well pleased, Monday and Tues- day of this week having been with them better than the same days last year. J. A. Budlong will handle the peonies cut at the Peterson Nursery this year. It will be the first time this stock has come into the wholesale market, and it will be a big item. John J. Kruchten says Decoration day was the best holiday he yet has had, especially on shipping orders. Floods in the southwest made more or less trouble in the last week. A number of Decoration day shipments for Texas and Oklahoma points could not be sent through and were sold by the express companies at Kansas City. As late as Tuesday, June 2, the Wells Fargo was refusing shipments to certain southwest- ern points. E. E. Pieser says that the unfavorable weather cost Kennicott Bros.

Wertheimer, of Wertheimer Bros,, New York, was a visitor this week. He says Chicago retailers still buy ribbons. The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. says its Decoration day was ahead of last year. ST. LOUIS. The Market. In the last three days of the last week business was reported as satisfactory. Decoration day, on Saturday, cleaned up the wholesale houses of all their con- signments, and the store men in all parts of the city report an extra good de- mand, much better than last year. Stock at the wholesale markets was not as plentiful as early in the week. During the last three days consignments became light and the business better. The St. Louis wholesale markets are unfortunate in this respect on holidays, as most of the shippers use up their stock for their home trade. Monday, June 1, little stock came in. That which came was disposed of in short order, and clean-up sales can be reported for the first day of this month. Let us hope it will continue so during the month, because after that the sum- mer dullness will set in and the florist can take his vacation. Various Notes.

Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind., spent Monday, May 25, in this city, visiting the trade. Henry Emmons, of Belleville, 111., and Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, Mo., were in the city Friday, May 29, buying stock for Decoration day orders. Both report ^ood trade. William Smith and Charles Schoenle, in company with John Burke, spent a ■day the last week looking up suitable grounds for the Florists' Club's outing next month. Henry Ostertag is happy now that the new coliseum is being built near his place of business, from which he expects to derive much business when finished. A number of orders for June weddings, lie says, will keep him busy this month. When it comes to hustling, few excel •him in the trade here. While Park Commissioner Scanlan is away on his honeymoon trip, the de- partment is having its troubles with :an order issued by the commissioner be- fore he left, that no picnics can be held in Forest park, and women and children are up in arms about it. Still the mayor, in a statement, seems to uphold the order. The Michel Plant & Bulb Co. adver- tised an auction sale for Wednesday of this week, to sell its surplus stock in geraniums and alternantheraa ; 10,000 of each were to be sold. Next Sunday, June 7, will be the first Sunday opening of the year at Shaw's garden. Everything will be in shape by that time to receive the large crowds, should the weather be fine. Superin- tendent Irish says that the delay in plant- ing out, caused by too much rain, has been made up and everything will be in readiness for the first Sunday opening. Messrs. Pring, Thompson and Sulgraf are all hustling to have their departments in shape for the opening days. "Bed" Schriefer, of Kuehn's, and Fred Alves, of Angermueller 's, will be the wholesalers' battery for the baseball game between them and the retailers at the Florists' Club outing next month. The retailers have not as yet announced their battery, but it may be Oscar Hurtle- mann and Herman Weber. The Bentzen Floral Co. had a busy week in all lines of the trade. Friday, May 29, they disposed of 1,000 cut roses to the Yeatman school children, a few at a time, by noon. Mr. Bentzen re- ports that the busy planting season will be at an end by next week, so he can at- tend to the secretary's duties at the club meeting. Frank Weber, of H. J. Weber & Son's Nursery Co., reports that they had the decorations for the Southeast Missouri Drummers' Association meeting at St. Genevieve, Mo., May 26. The large arch erected by them, made of flowers, was greatly admired by the large crowd that was in attendance. All four wholesale houses did a rush- ing trade Friday and Saturday, filling Decoration day orders. They all closed half a day Saturday, May 30, allowing their employees a half day oflF.

Otto G. Koenig, Sec'y. NEVYOBK. The Market Decoration day, which promised such excellent business, was turned into a disappointment by the flood, over two inches of rain falling in the afternoon. The loss to the business must have reach- ed into the thousands of dollars, for the retailers had not sold any considerable part of the immense purchases made Fri- day and early Saturday in anticipation of what promised to be an extraordinary demand. Sunday brought perfect weath- er, but the necessity for flowers had largely passed. The wholesale market was never in such shape to meet any prospective or possible demand. Shipments the last of the week were enormous and prices real- ized were better than through the de- pressed conditions the early part of the week. But Monday of this week saw a return to the heavy shipments of all varieties of cut flowers, and even the June weddings had not begun to make their influence felt, though their num- ber must have some effect as the month progresses. Beauties are coming in by thousands to all the leading wholesalers and few go above $10 per hundred. To obtain any large selection of the best is no easy task, out of a complete shipment ten per cent of the total being a high average. This applies to all roses now arriving, boxes of all grades being se- cured by the buyers far below the quoted prices. Orchids are abundant and prices last we«k were far from satisfactory. The weddings and out-of-town demand should raise them during the coming weeks. The variety and quality are quite equal to any this season. Great stocks of peonies are here, many of them imperfect. For the best, es- pecially the red ones, there is a wide call and prices hold at $1 a dozen. The large white and pink varieties go readily at these figures, and sometimes higher. Many will be used in church decorations. Lilies and valley have not advanced. A good demand for wild smilax is evident. Carnations still come in floods, 10,000 to 20,000** daily at some of the larger wholesale stores in a single shipment.

The week opens with hot, cloudy weath- er and excessive humidity. The market lacks life. There seems to be an abun- dance of everything. Ladies' Nieht. Ladies' night, last "Wednesday, May 27, at the rooms of the New York Flo- rists' Club, was a great success. The result was largely due to the splendid energy and management of Chairman "Will Bickards, who has proved himself a worthy successor to the veteran, John R!. Nugent. His corps of lieutenants did valiant service and are all ladies' men of past or present reputation: Messrs. Fenrich, Duggan, Joseph Manda and Bobby Schultz. There were nearly 200 guests and members present, and the beautiful rooms of the club never" held a better pleased or more charming gath- ering. Mazetti catered satisfactorily and everybody was delighted, notwithstanding the hottest night of the year. The program was worthy of the occasion and showed the master hand of theatrical management, at which Mr. Bickards is no spring chicken. The artists were all commendable, the entertainment unique and interesting. President "Weath- ered made the speech of welcome; so- prano solos by Miss Brown, tenor solos by Mr. Mullen, violin solos by Mr. Kre- shover, imitations of Harry Louder by Master Eobert Young, singing by Baby Eleanor, fancy dancing by Baby Lan- ning, bagpipe music by Sergeant Cameron and dancing by Bobert Young and the Misses Cameron, Sorlie and Bir- nie made up a program of rare excel- lence that kept the big crowd intact until nearly midnight. In many respects it was the most en- joyable evening the club has ever fur- nished its friends, and a fitting precursor of the club's outing July 1. Harry Bunyard, just home from his southern outing, carried Baby Lanning on his shoulders around the hall to the plaudits of her enthusiastic admirers. Next Week's Program. Next week is full of horticulture. Monday evening, June 8, the New York Florists' Club's summer meeting, and the last before September, takes place at the Grand Opera House building. A peony exhibit is expected and the outing program will be distributed. The hour of meeting is 7:30.

George Saltford is greatly delighted with his new quarters on Twenty-eighth street and tells me he has already added ten new growers to his staff. The store is a model of convenience and the new occupant knows how to grow more than violets. H. E.

F. H.

The season has been a remarkable one, with little hot weather, abundance of rain and larger plantings than ever known before. With seasonable weather now, there is the promise of a phenomenal harvest. Half a million kentia seeds is going -some, but this is but one of many such goings on at A. T.

We can all afford to feel well satis- fied with the business done for Decora- tion day. The weather turned out to be ideal and the quantity of flowers used this year for the decoration of the graves was enormous. Many florists were dubi- ous as to how the business would be, owing to the great quantities of outdoor flowers which were right in it. The quantity of this class of flowers used is simply beyond estimation. But the very fact that flowers were so plentiful seem- Choice Stock ■'T^j*- for the June Wedding- work and School Closings. Whatever you want, we can supply it. The following are some of our leading specialties : SWEET PEAS Fancy stock in the fancy colors. Enchantress-Pink and Lavender.

Saturday brought a large supply again, and by noon, when the business was over, the greater portion of that had been disposed of. There were plenty of flowers to fill all orders, with the exception of car- nations. This flower was scarce, and many more could have been sold. Peo- nies were in large supply and everyone could get all he wanted of them. The price ranged from 2 cents to 4 cents. Roses of the best grade sold out well and at good prices, but there were a great lot of them which were sold at job lot prices. So, when we take all things into con- sideration, we can feel pleased with the business this year, for it was certainly good, and when we take into considera- tion the general business situation and the way our business has been going from the first of the year, we have every reason to be well satisfied.

Peonies occupy the most space, but he also has large beds devoted to Japanese iris, gladioli and asters. . In some of his ponds he has started pond lilies in various colors. With this combination, together with quite a good acreage of peaches, he manages to make things go nicely. The retailers also report good busi- ness, and that prices were good, in spite of the large quantity of outdoor flow- ers. This point in itself shows how great the demand was. C. J. Ohmer. DAYTON, OHIO. State of Trade. Decoration day for 1908 is now a thing of the past, and our florists, who during the last few weeks worked like Trojans, are getting a little more rest. Each of our florists had his own liberal share of business, but some of them report that it was not quite so good as last year's trade, as the hot weather brought the peonies in through the coun- try, and last year the weather was cool and outdoor flowers did not come in so soon. Consequently, this season, the street market of Friday afternoon was filled with tubs of peonies, brought in by the market gardeners, but the hot sun which poured down on them brought them out in full bloom, and some of their purchasers found nothing but empty stems when they went to get their Decoration day bouquet. So, in this event, they had to make an early call on the florist Decoration day morning, in order to have the graves decorated as they desired. In looking through our greenhouses now, one will not see many bedding plants — merely a few crippled stragglers that have been picked up and set down by more than one customer, but upon taking a look about the parks and the city in general, one can see where the flowers have all gone, for the citizens of Dayton take great pride in the ap- pearance of their lawns. The weather in the last few days haa cooled oflf to such an extent that an overcoat feels just about right. These conditions are greatly appreciated by the florist who has to work under the glass, and it is also a good thing for cut flowers, as the past hot weather had com- menced to play havoc with the roses, and our florists, of course, want the best roses obtainable for the coming June weddings. Carnations are quite plentiful, but small, and have dropped from 4 cents and 5 cents to 2 cents since Decoration day. Callas are almost past blooming for this season. B. A. B.

Other matters of minor importance will he considered. The meeting will be held at the Young establishment on East Fifth street. PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market. Decoration day business was decidedly discouraging. The weather conditions were so unfavorable that satisfactory handling of cut flowers was impossible. A large quantity of the stock received was absolutely useless, wilting down so quickly in the heat that it was impossi- ble to send it out. Even stock that ex- perienced judges considered safe for ship- ping orders was in some cases unfit to be used when received. There were heavy orders from the battle towns up the state on Thursday, but owing to the ex- treme weather, these orders, even when the stock was received in excellent con- dition, were not duplicated, the peonies and other flowers on the buyers' places coming in such large quantities as to render heavy purchases unnecessary. Locally, Decoration day is not more than an ordinarily good day. While the florists near the cemeteries are, of course, especially busy, many of the best shops are quite dull. The closing days of the horse show brought some fashionable folks to the city, and for their benefit a few tasty dinners were given, calling for some of the best flowers. Then, there were one or two commencements. The ex- cessively heavy downpour of rain on Sat- urday closed the week disastrously. Sun- day was, however, an active day with the cemetery florists, the buyers who could not come out on Saturday owing to the rain making their purchases then. Monday opened badly, there being a great quantity of stock left over from last week, much of it in wretched condi- tion. Several good weddings on Tuesday, followed by the Bryn Mawr commence- ment, have created a demand for really choice stock. Peonies are in tremendous supply. Festiva maxima and Prince Nicholas touched 12 cents when in fine condition for shipping last Thursday. They are now bringing from 8 to 10 cents.

Really choice carnations were extremely scarce, the fancies running up to 4 cents, and, in a few cases, more. They have now receded a point, but fully half the stock coming in is unsalable. The indoor sweet peas may be placed in the same class, but the outdoor peas now coming in, of all colors, are splendid stock, good flow- ers on long stems, that will give satisfac- tion anywhere. Cattleyas are still fin^, and there is a heavy supply of good val- ley brought in for the June weddings. Bridesmaid and Bride have deterio- rated so badly with many growers as to render them unfit for nice work. Of course, there are some good flowers of each of these varieties to be had, but generally speaking Killarney is far and away the best pink, and Kaiserin must do service for white. There seems a reaction in some parts of the market against the bolder Adian- tum Croweanum and hybridum in favor of the more graceful Adiantum cuneatum when well grown.

Inside, the desk on the Sohuylkill side is, as everybody knows, that of J. Otto Thilow, while that on the Delaware side belongs to George D. Clark. When Phil entered one day this week he turned first to the right (Phil naturally turns to the right, you know), but Mr. Thilow was busily en- gaged in expounding the merits of cer- tain seeds to an anxious inquirer. So Phil turned to the left and saw the smil- ing face of Mr. Clark, and grasped his outstretched hand. Of course, Phil wanted to know something about bulbs in general, and lilies in particular. Mr. Clark's idea is that the Bermuda lily growers must wake up (are waking up, in fact) to a realization of the situation. They cannot afford to allow the Japs or anybody else to take away their bulb growing industry. To prevent this, they must grow good bulbs that can be de- pended upon to produce good flowers. And Mr. Clark feels confident that in a few years they will do this in a way that will leave no room for complaint. Lilium Harrisii Mr. Clark considers as the lily par excellence for the everyday grower, the grower who has other things in the house with his lilies, and who does not want to be bothered with extraordinary cultural details. Giganteum is all right for a late Easter, or where you can give it a house to itself, and force it hard for an early Easter, but under the con- ditions afforded by the general florist, giganteum is very apt to be late. Of the Formosa lily Mr. Clark spoke guardedly, feeling that he was not yet sufficiently familiar with this type to speak authori- tatively. Mr. Thilow finished with his customer about this time, and in response to a question spoke enthusiastically of the long, steady season seedsmen are enjoy- ing. Everything about Seven Fourteen bespeaks the well-run business house, en- joying its full share of prosperity. Decoration Day at the Cemeteries.

An immense num- ber of plants were planted out in vases and beds.' Cut flowers sold fairly well only. Transient trade was poor. On Saturday it was entirely ruined by the rain, but on Sunday there was a marked revival. The Retirement of Hemlock. Hemlock boards have been almost from the first the mainstay of gardeners and florists in making their benches, hemlock standing the trying conditions of heat and moisture better than any other kind of wood to be had at a reasonable price. The conditions are, however, rapidly changing. Hemlock has advanced fully fifty per cent in price, placing it at a figure that seems well-nigh prohibitive. A substitute for hemlock was thought to have been found in the so-called pecky cypress, but this proved to be unsatis- factory to some. Today, however, the market offers a better grade of cypress at a price which is practically that of hemlock in its palmiest days. This cy- press is being largely taken up by plant, cut flower and mushroom growers for their tables and beds, and those who have used it speak most enthusiastically of it, believing that in a fair, commercial grade of cypress the grower has secured a wood that will last well. The June Exhibition. The annual exhibition of roses and peonies of the Pennsylvania Horticul- tural Society was held June 2.

The monthly meeting of the Florists' Club was well attended June 2. The paper by Arthur A. Niessen, which ap- pears elsewhere in this issue, was fol- lowed by a general discussion of the subject. Edward Raid said the fakers had done much to relieve the market. John Westcott asserted that if half the present number of flowers were grown the florists would be better off. < Various Notes. The rose show of the Germantown Horticultural Society was held at Asso- ciation hall Monday evening, June 1, the exhibits being in fine condition. Curi- ously enough, last year's exhibition, held on June 10, was too early for any of the outdoor roses. Mr. Guille, of the Hubert Bulb Co., Portsmouth, Va., was a visitor in this city a few days ago. Eugene Bernheimer is receiving some choice outdoor sweet peas, for which he has achieved an enviable reputation. Charles E. Lehman, of the S. B. Vroo- man Co., Ltd., has shipped a large order for cypress boards to J. B. Swayne, of Kennett, Pa. A pictorial postcard received this week from H. Bayersdorfer at Blankenese, near Hamburg, Germany, states that everything is in bloom there and, between the lines, that Mr. and Mrs. Bayersdorfer are well and enjoying their trip. Walter P. Stokes and William Swayne have been enjoying short fishing trips, the former in Maine, the latter near Lewiston, Pa. Taul F.

Paul Berkowitz, well and favorably known as a member of the firm of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., will leave this city next Tuesday, June 9, for Louisville, Ky., to attend the wedding of his son, W. F. Berkowitz, an attorney at law in the Commonwealth building, this city, to Miss Edna M. Levy, of Louisville. B. Eschner, of M.

The Market Thus another Memorial day, which is the flower day of the year, has come and passed, to the satisfaction of most of us. The volume of business straight through, as reported by those questioned, was equal to last year, but at a less profit. The shipping, which began as early as Wednesday, was brisk, with plenty of everything on hand, except that more good carnations in colored shades could have been disposed of. These sold at from 3 .cents to 5 cents, while roses realized 4 cents to 6 cents, some extras bringing 6 cents, though there was not much deman^ for the latter. Local trade, from the retailers' stand- point, was good and no doubt would have been better had the weather been more favorable. May 30, 1907, all out- door stock was practically at an end, while this year many outdoor flowers, such as lilac, tulips, lily of the valley, snowballs and narcissi were at their best, and this had a decided effect on the sale of indoor-grown cut flowers. A good many grocers handle pot plants around this time and this also was noticeable to the retailer. Thus, with nothing want- ing, 10,000 carnations arrived from Chi- cago Saturday morning at less than $2 per hundred, but they came too late and did not sell like hot cakes.

Cttrrent Comment The weather for the last few days has been hot and dry, interfering with the planting of chrysanthemums. Some flo- rists believe in early planting and others claim to make a better flower by late planting, if successful with cuttings. The largest part of our chrysanthemums is sold on the first of November, and missing that very day means much loss to the growers. We recently had the pleasure to pay a visit to the Metairie Ridge Nursery Co. The place, which has been extensively planted in nursery stock, is comparatively new, so we were astonished, having not been there for a few months, to see how rapidly everything has been growing. Hundreds and thousands of trees, shrubs and palms of all sizes are ready to be disposed of. Different species of oaks, eatalpa, lagerstroemia, pittosporum; gar- denia, hardy palms and many others are in perfect condition. Harry Papworth says he has yet plenty of room to spare on his ground and to save labor all his field roses are planted far apart and worked with plows and cultivators. The flowers, which are cut every morning, are now good and strong. He has an end- less variety, still knowing which are the best for our climate. Of course, they are nearly all tea roses, few hybrids being planted. The greenhouses are for the most planted with roses and chrysanthe- mums; American Beauties for one and Mrs. Robinson for the other are in larger quantities. When finished he will have 12,000 mums. They are. planted two plants together, each one for a single stem. They are doing away with raised benches, claiming that solid beds give better results. Mr. Papworth is not complaining about business, saying that last month was the best be has had.

They also have a depart- ment for the breeding of fine pedigree dogs. Some water spaniels, collies and others find a ready market at good prices. M. M. L. NEV BEDFORD, MASS. Current Comment. Decoration day for 1908 was a record breaker and all the more so when trade conditions are considered. Ther^ was not much stock left. Bouquets of flowers were the most called for, but loose cut flowers were in good demand. There was a good supply of flowers from outdoors on hand. Lilac just about held out until the day. Carnations were sold at from 75 cents to $1 per dozen retail. There was a good supply of these. Roses brought $1.50 per dozen retail, while sweet peas brought $1 per hundred blooms. The funeral of a prominent business man's wife called for a large amount of stock and made everybody hustle a couple of days before Memorial day. A good many of the florists had to work all night Friday in order to get out their orders. Some nice peonies were to be seen, also nice lots of spiraea in pots and cut. J. H. Cleary had some fine hydran- geas, lots of geraniums and other bed- ding plants. William P. Pierce had a nice line of plants and cut flowers for Decoration day. Geraniums sold well. Good plants in bloom brought from 12 to 15 cents each. R. H. Woodhouse had a busy time fill- ing vases and urns for the cemetery. S. S. Peckham had all he could do cut- ting and sending out his large crop of carnations. R. E. Nofftz had a fine display of cut flowers and plants. E. H. Chamberlain handled lots of cut flowers. Pansies sold well, 35 and 50 cents per dozen being the general price. Our old friend, the Parker House faker, was on deck Saturday, May 30, with a full line of roses and carnations. W.L. Oconto, Wis. — J. Sylvester says Deco- ration day trade was rather better than usual. The sales of cut flowers were about ten per cent less than last year but the increase in plant sales was at least twenty-five per cent. /••-;.>• JCNB 4, 1908.

Mr. Burrell took them over some of the country in his auto, to show them some of Colorado's best irri- gated farms." PROSPECTS AT ROCKY FORD. Writing under date of May 25, D. V. Burrell, Rocky Ford, Colo., said: ' ' For the last two weeks there has been little water in any of the ditches here except the Rocky Ford ditch. Farm- ers under other ditches began to be dis- couraged, but we have had rains in the mountains, so these ditches can draw water now and everything looks promis- ing for a good crop." THE WEEK IN SEEDS. Business is gradually tapering off in the seed houses. Corn planting is pro- ■ gressing in the west, but most of the sea- son 's seeds are now in the ground. Heavy rains have made some replanting neces- sary and some extra business has been occasioned thereby. Planting of both corn and cucumber in many localities is later than usual because of wet soil, the month of May having been an unusually wet one throughout the greater part of the United States. The plant business, which has become a large feature with most seed houses doing a counter trade, has been excellent and is not yet over. In general, this season has been a thoroughly satisfactory one in net results and attention is now being turned to supplies for 1909.

Of course, planting and other field work could not be pushed forward then, as we were accustomed to do in other years. Happily, May 1 set in with fine weather indeed, for our growers. Not only plenty of sunshine, but sufficient rain as well, so that planting and all other work out- doors can be carried on to the best ad- vantage. All the growers are at present (May 23) busy planting, and such plants as scabiosas, antirrhinum, verbenas, phlox and asters are nearly all planted out by now. Coming to vegetables, it can be said that cauliflower, kohlrabi and other things are growing nicely by now, espe- cially cauliflowers are standing very fine; but the young plants have to suffer a good deal by the ravages of the ground flea, a great enemy of the young S.M.ISBELL&CO.

One of our best and foremost canna-raisers is certainly Wilhelm Pfit- zer, in Stuttgart. About thirty different and fine varieties have originated with him up till now and have made his name well known to all lovers of cannas. It would no doubt take up too much space in these columns if I attempted to men- tion all the names of our foremost and most successful German dahlia-raisers, so I can only say there are a good many of them. Perhaps later on, I shall, if space permits, write more about our German dahlias, especially about the pick of our novelties. At a few big places I have seen, in my travels, cyclamens flowered most pro- fusely and already weeks ago promised a good and large output of seeds. J. C. Schmidt's cyclamens fetched the best prizes at the Ghent quinquennial; like- wise his special strain of gloxinias. Compared with former years our seed growers have now to contend with many handicaps, which no doubt in time will begin to tell on the prices of seeds in general. First of all, labor is not only getting scarce, but it is getting up in price as well; lots of men and women, who formerly went to work with the seed growers, are now earning their living in ■aMDHnHDEnanMnEnEn EnEnEnflnEnflnEnflQEQ EDEaBDEDEDEDEnflnE n fl n fl n ■ D ■ n fl D fl n fl n fl D fl □ fl D a E □ fl a E a E a fl □ fl D E □ fl n fl COLD STORAGE LILIES COLD STORAGE LILIES, mean that you can have Lilies all the year round.

AN ENGLISH' DUTCH-BULB SUIT. A claim was recently brought by W. N. Alkemade & Co., of Nordwyk, Holland, against J. S. Fisher, an English nursery- man, for about $250, balance of $350, the price of bulbs sold and delivered. The defendant admitted that the bulbs were ordered and delivered, but counter- claimed $270 for damages through some of the goods being rotten and unsalable, and some of them not being true to name, and damages for loss of trade through the plaintiff delivering the bulbs in such a condition. The defendant complained that the bulbs delivered in September, 1906, were not in a fit condition. They ordered 5,000 hyacinth bulbs of first quality, of which the price would be $25 per thousand, but instead hyacinths of second quality were sent, which would be listed at $15. In addition, 4,000 of them were rotten. A thousand narcissi also were rotten, and one consignment of iris bulbs was not true to name. A more serious matter was the loss in his business through cus- tomers becoming disgusted with the bulbs. When Mr. Alkemade came to col- lect his accounts he said he was willing to allow $40 for the useless bulbs, but the defendant did not consider that sat- isfactory. Evidence as to the condition of the bulbs and the complaints made by customers was given by defendant, his son and others. Mr. Alkemade said his firm grew a great quantity of bulbs, and the hya- cinths sent to the defendant were from their own grown stock. They had sup- plied other people that year, and he did not think more than three per cent of the bulbs had been complained about. All the bulbs were carefully examined be- fore being sent over. He had no com- plaint from the defendant until he came over in the spring, and then the defend- ant 's son was perfectly satisfied with the reduction of $40 offered conditionally upon the account being paid within eight days. He admitted that top quality hya- cinths were not sent. His Honor decided that the defendant was entitled to a deduction of $90 off the bill in consequence of the condition of some of the bulbs, but in his view damages for loss of custom were too re- mote for recovery, but whether that was SPECIALTY of Tinctured and Natural Everlastings at Lowest Prtoes.

(Continued from page 9.) ally starts in the cutting bench, through the use of sand containing organic mat- ter. At first the trouble is confined mainly to the young roots, but gradually it works up to the stem. At first there may be only a small black speck, not larger than the point of a pin. This minute speck contains the fungus, however, and if this particular cutting is placed in the bed, the fungus will con- tinue to grow as the plant grows. No evidence of the disease appears until pretty well along in the summer, when the plant becomes of considerable size and the demand for moisture on the roots is excessive. It will then be found that the plant is wilting during the heat of the day. Matters will go on in this way for two or three weeks, until event- ually the plant utterly collapses and dies. I have seen houses in which from ten to twenty per cent of the plants died off in this manner. The disease may be in large measure prevented by proper se- lection of cuttings, rigid attention to the propagating bench, and avoidance of the planting out in the beds of any plants which show signs of the trouble. Other Diseases. A disease sometimes found on violet foliage when the plants have been im- properly handled is known as Oedema or wart disease. This is a dropsical-like trouble that may be brought about by overwatering and by too dense shading of the plants. The tissues of the plant become gorged with water, and the foods not being properly assimilated, physio- logical conditions arise which result in the production of wart-like growths wherever there is any break or puncture. The bites of red spiders, the punctures of aphides, or even the breaking of the leaves through the handling of the plant, results in the formation of large, wart- like growths. Proper attention to light, ventilation and watering will avoid all these diflSculties. A disease common in violet houses at Cutworms Millipedes, Eelworms, Ante, Beetles, Woodlice, Slugs, and all kinds of bugs in the soil Killed Vaporite is a gray non-poisonous powder whieli when dug into the soil as directed completely destroys the insects therein.

This Botrytis induces a soft rot of the foliage, and sometimes a whole crown may be seriously injured. Overwatering, excessive wetting of the foliage, drips or leaks in the roof, improper cleaning of the bed, and failure to remove all dead or decaying foliage are apt to bring on this trouble, especially in damp, cool weather. Another malady similar to the fore- going, but produced in a diflferent way, manifests itself on the edges of the leaves of the plants, which die and turn white. This trouble may be induced by a number of causes. Ex- cessive use of fertilizers, excessive use of cold water on the roots, improper venti- lation of the soil, proximity of a cold outside wall — all these things may check the root development and in consequence the edges of the foliage, not being prop- erly nourished, will first wilt and then eventually die. The injury has always taken place a long time before it ordi- narily becomes manifest. The state- ments made regarding the causes suggest .iTJ-'-r-. ■ '■' .yy.r- June 4, 1908.

Root-sail or Nematodes. Under the head of diseases we would now mention the so-called root-gall or nematodes. This disease is produced by a minute microscopic worm which infests the roots, producing the galls. The nema- todes live in the soil, and in order to have the plants free from them, the soil must be properly handled. Nematodes are not usually very injurious to the vio- let where the winters are cold and where the soil can be frozen. It is in the more southern regions that the nematode is likely to prove dangerous. The freez- ing of the soil, as already pointed out, will prevent serious trouble from the pest. We have used sterilized soil, pro- ducing the sterilization with steam. On the whole, however, I do not consider it necessary to adopt this somewhat ex- pensive process where the soil can be properly handled, as already explained. Red Spider. One of the most troublesome insects that attack the violet is the ordinary red spider. There is little use in at- tempting to destroy the spider after the plants are once badly infested — bet- ter by far throw the plants away. The whole matter of combating this pest may be summed up in one word — prevention. Prevent the cuttings from becoming in- fested, prevent the young plants when set into the beds from becoming at- tacked, and finally, see to it that the spiders are not allowed to obtain a foot- hold at any time upon the growing stock. Syringing is about the only safeguard. Where sufficient water pressure is not at hand, it is best to use a spray pump. We have devised a comparatively simple nozzle for spraying plants — one that will give a wide, fan-shaped spray which will easily turn over the leaves, knock the spiders off and yet produce no injury to the crown.

Kindly tell us how to handle straw- berry plants for winter forcing, espe- cially how to get them ready and what varieties are best for the purpose. F. A. N. The preparation of strawberries for winter forcing should begin as soon as the young runners are large enough to handle. The best way to insure a strong plant is to plunge 3-inch pots filled with good soil in the strawberry bed, peg a plant from a good, strong runner in the soil in the pot and keep all other run- ners off by pinching out as soon as they appear. Leave the plants thus until the pots are well filled with roots, when they may be severed from the parent plant and in the course of a few days potted up into larger pots. Set the pots on a bed of ashes or some such material, to prevent the worms from working up into them too freely, and keep well supplied with water. The final shift should be into 6-inch pots, which should be well filled with roots by fall, but do not attempt to force until the plants h.ave had a good freezing. Several varieties adapt themselves to forcing, but a per- fect flowered variety is essential. The best we have tried is Nick Ohmer; it seems to produce pollen more freely than most others. W. S. Croydon. GREENHOUSE TOMATOES. ' * Twelve years ago we grew our first winter tomatoes, using Lorillard and Dwarf Champion as the varieties," says W. Van Fleet in describing the experi- ments at the farm of the Rural New Yorker. ' ' The yield was fair, although the greenliouse, to accommodate other plants, was run at a temperature much lower than is usual for tomatoes, and the construction such as to necessitate the use of boxes or large pots instead of the usual raised benches. A cross was ef- fected between the two varieties, and the best of the resulting offspring, after a few seasons of selection, was introduced to commerce under the name of Combina- tion. It was a good-sized, bright scarlet tomato, with much of the superior finish of Lorillard, productive both under glass and in the field, the only defect being a rather short stigma that lessened chances Vegetable Plants..., Cabbage-Wakefleld, Early Plat Dutch, Early All Head, Early Drumhead and other early vari- eties; Sure Head, Late Plat Dutch, Danish Round and Ball Head and other late varieties, 20c per 100; $1.00 per 1000; $8.50 per 10,000.

Very good yields were, however, reported from trials in many localities. Combination has since been used in our experiments as a breeder, .crossing it first with Mayflower to lengthen the stigma and then with Best of All, a famons English variety of fine color and large size, but with ob- jectionable coarse foliage. Considerable disturbances followed these repeated in- jections of alien blood, the seedlings coming anything but uniform in growth and fruit, but five years' selection of the most promising type, after again crossing with the original Lorillard, has given us a dependable variety, well suited to our conditions. Thirty plants are grown each winter in 12-inch pots, and space is given in the lower portions of the house for sixteen plants of Quarter Century, a scarlet-fruited, dwarf-grow- ing variety, also an outcome of the orig- inal cross of Lorillard and the pink or crimson Dwarf Champion. These Quar- ter Century plants are grown two each in 14-inch pots, the combined yield in weight of fruits being about equal to that of each plant of the perfected Com- bination, though the individual tomatoes average much smaller. "We get an average yield for the two varieties of six pounds to the pot for the winter. We marketed just 240 pounds during the past season, from December 20 to April 25, at the uniform price of 25 cents the pound, amounting to $60 for the crop. This is not by any means a banner yield, as ten pounds per plant has been attained in modern forcing houses under ideal conditions, but must be con- sidered good for our comparatively low temperature. There were 993 tomatoes in the 240 pounds, making the average weight a trifle less than four ounces each. Sizes running not over six to the ])ound are acceptable in market, but those approaching four to the pound are liked, as they make a better appearance when sliced."

PACIFIC COAST. San Beenaedino, Cal. — The great celebration known as the Festival of the Arrowhead was opened here in the evening of Tuesday, May 19, and was continued the rest of the week. It is believed that the city never before en- tertained so many guests. At least 25,- 000 people witnessed the floral parade Thursday forenoon. Flowers of every available variety were lavishly used in the construction and decoration of the floats and other objects in the parade. Many substantial cash prizes were awarded. In December a national apple show will be held at Spokane, "Wash. As grow- ers of apples in Canada are invited to compete for the liberal prizes offered, it would be more correct to describe the ex- hibition as international. The sum to be given in prizes is said to be $15,000, and of this amount $1,000 will be given for the best apple. The object of this exhi- bition is, it is stated, to "popularize the apple as the great national fruit" of ^jnerica. Washington is remarkable for the extent to which apples are cultivated within its boundaries and also for the high state of development to which these fruits attain. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market* We are not going to complain about business this time, as it has settled down to normal conditions and the prospect looks bright for a few weeks at least. Weddings are quite a feature at present and there is a brisk demand for funeral work. Early school graduations also help to swell the volume of trade and there is little stock going to waste. The weather stays cool, which is most help- ful to indoor cultivation. Carnations are as fine as we ever saw them. There is not an oversupply and prices remain firm. Boses, too, still maintain an ex- cellent quality and the demand is good. Some early outdoor commercial flow- ers are in the market, such as Iceland poppies, peonies, stocks and iris. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Clarke and John Holden have been in Seattle for a few days, to note the fighting capacity of Uncle Sam's Atlantic fleet. J. B. Pilkington has gone to Milwau- kee, Wis., to attend the nurserymen's convention. JuUus Broetje brought the first pond lilies to the city Saturday, May 23, and ikej retailed at $1 per dozen. D. J.

The Sibson Eose Nurseries are cut- ting some splendid stock of Miss Kate Moulton and Richmond. On visiting their greenhouses recently, we saw "Kates" with stems five and one-half feet and Richmonds nearly as long; the flowers and foliage both speaking for the careful management of Mr. Wood- ington, the grower and foreman at this place, in getting his plants into such splendid condition, after the long, dis- couraging, sunless months of winter.

The flower heads are of very large size, and are of glistening whiteness and of thick, heavy substance, making its keeping quality superior to all others. The stems, always stiff, can be grown two feet and over, making this magnificent Freesia one of the finest decorative flowers. It can be used entirely alone in that respect, or with other long stemmed flowers. The greatest care is taken by us to keep this beautiful Freesia pure and free from all danger of mixing by carefully pick- ing off all seed pods and not allowing one to ripen and drop its seed in the ground, where it would surely grow the next season and work disaster, as it does not come true from seed. So beware of buying stock that has been increased from seed. You will always find Purity here in all its purity. Send in your orders without delay, for last year the orders far exceeded the supply.

Nearly all his customers now ask for this rose in preference to Bridesmaid, and as it is gprown at this establishment, it certainly is a satisfac- tory flower. S. E, H. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market Business, although quiet, is slightly better than that for the previous two weeks. Warmer weather is the rule and flowers are in overabundant supply. There is a shortage, however, of fancy Beauties and some kinds of fancy car- nations, but of everything else there is enough and to spare. Peonies are now at their height and quantities are being sent into town from outside sources; from $3 to $5 per hun- dred is the ruling price. Gladioli are being used considerably, and such other kinds of outside stock as coreopsis, gail- lardias and sweet peas help the retailers to make big window displays at a slight cost. Sweet peas, in spite of the fact that they are a cheap flower, are money- makers and more of them are sold than of anything else that is outside grown.

The continued warm weather has brought out thousands of them that were not far enough advanced to cut for Easter, but they will soon be a thing of the past and the other varieties of Jap- anese lilies will take their places. From • what I am able to learn, there will be a big cutting of both album and rubrum this season, and quite a fair lot of auratum. Maidenhair fern, for the first time this year, is now in heavy supply. The cold weather retarded it somewhat all spring and now the excess of heat has made a big showing on the new growth. Smilax in quantity is practically over and only a few scattered patches are to be depended on. A few early asters have appeared, but they are of short stem and the public has not yet discovered them.

The Waterloo Nursery Co. is the name of a corporation being organized to do the business of wholesaling and retailing nursery products. The capital stock or the new company is $25,000, di- vided into shares of $100 each. The concern will begin to transact business when the capital stock is paid in and a charter received from the secretary of state. An option has been secured on seventy- five acres of land two miles east of the city on the Raymond road, next to the Illinois Central right of way. A spur will be built by the railroad company to the nursery, that cars of young trees and other products may be shipped and unload^, sorted and shipped out again with as much convenience as possible. The ground on which the option was se- cured has been inspected by a promi- nent horticulturist, and pronounced to be ideal for the purpose for which it is in- tended. The Waterloo Nursery Co. intends sending twenty-five traveling salesmen on the road early in June to secure orders for fall delivery. In view of the fact that the country is just awakening to the dearth of trees, both fruit and or- namental, and their relation to the rain- fall and climate of the country, the or- ganization of a nursery company of such a large scope in this city is con- sidered timely. As soon as the full amount of stock is subscribed work will be started on the seventy-five acres of OWN ROOT SUMMER GROWN ONE YEAR OLD $2.50 per 100 Baby Rambler Clothllde Soupert Dorothy Perkins Mme.

MORE EVERGREEN SEEDLINGS. Having won his point as to the rate of duty on certain classes of evergreens, P. Ouwerkerk is working to broaden the list of nursery stock which shall be ad- mitted at the lower rate. On his further protest the Board of General Appraisers has now held that Abies excelsa, or Nor- way spruce, produced from seed, and aucubas and rhododendrons were dutiable as evergreen seedlings under paragraph 252, tariff act of 1897, as claimed by the importers; also that azaleas were duti- able as nursery stock under the same paragraph.

The buds are of a deep carmine color, the fully expanded flowers being rosy, produced in great profusion and sweet scented. The small fruit is red- dish in color. The leaves, which in sum- mer are of a bright color, fade into hues of golden and bronze in fall. This is one of the best known of the crab- apples and its wondrous beauty should warrant its being more largely planted. Pyrus floribunda Scheideckeri, by some classed as a hybrid between P. flori- bunda and P. prunifolia, has a more erect habit than baccata and Toringo.

This variety is often called P. Parkmani, in honor of the late Francis Parkman, of Boston, who had a notable collection of choice shrubs and trees, and much of the stock sent out by nurserymen came from a large specimen on his lawn. Pyrus Mains Toringo is a handsome dwarf growing crab-apple, at its best with us this year about May 16. The buds are pink and the flowers in the ordinary type pure white, the trees pre- senting a snowy appearance, with hardly a vestige of the foliage visible.

Current G>minent Last week was a record-breaker in the sale of cut blooms in the peony trade, large quantities having been dis- posed of locally and quite a number of shipments made to out-of-town points. Thomas McBeth timed his crop nicely, cutting the blooms while solid and bring- ing them to perfection in cellar storage just in season for Memorial day trade. Many of our citizens, who had learned of the gorgeous sight on the grounds of the National Peony Co., journeyed seven miles over the Fairfield turnpike by automobile or carriage and were amply repaid for the trip. Six and one-half acres of peonies in full bloom, and in all standard and newer varieties, was & sight well worth beholding. * John M. Good and Ward Welch, under straw hat and kerchief, were busily engaged in taking notes, throwing out mixtures and discarding varieties showing unde- sirable features, to the end that they ought have a stock embracing the best sorts, absolutely true to label. For quite a number of days preceding Memorial day, they have remained on the prem- ises, boarding and lodging at a farm house on the place. Carrie M. Howell, our enterprising woman florist, is adding a house, 20x50, in which to increase her output for the local market. The new cut rose house of the Leedle Eosary Co. is nearing completion and the benches will be covered with soil during the present week. This house makes an attractive appearance and is the subject of much favorable com- ment. Stocks of rose plants have been fairly well cleaned out, but in the lines of soft stuff customarily grown here some surplus is reported. Ge Dale.

VICTOR H.THOMAS, Augusta, Ky. 50 The Weekly Florists^ Review* June 4, 1908. RAQNE^WIS. The Racine Floral Co. is the name of a new firm of experienced florists who have just purchased the Fidler & Adams greenhouses, on Asylum avenue. It is the intention of the new proprietors to expend a large sum of money in making extensive additions to the greenhouses and equipping them so as to compare favorably .with any of the larger estab- lishments in the northwest. Mrs. E. Miller, an experienced deco- rator, who for several years had charge of the decorations at Hotel Pfister, Mil- waukee, will be associated with the firm and will have charge of the floral de- signs and decorations. As soon as arrangements can be made the company will establish a downtown office. LYNN, MASS. The May meeting of the Houghton Horticultural Society, held in the lec- ture room at the Public Library, Tues- day evening, May 26, proved to be most instructive as well as interesting. Mau- rice Fuld, of Marblehead, a member of the society, and a representative of W. W. Eawson & Co., was present, and gave a talS on his work. Being connected with such a promi- nent firm as Eawson & Co., and sec- retary of the New England Dahlia So- ciety, Mr. Fuld was naturally in a po- sition to impart considerable valuable information to the large audience which gathered at the library and for over an hour held the undivided attention of those present. At the outset Mr. Fuld spoke of the development of the seed business in Boston, and in various ways showed how the large firms handle their business. A contrast was made in the business of twenty years ago and that of today, the speaker believing that a great amount of the increase was due to the good work performed by horticultural societies, such as the one in Lynn. Janesville Wis. — The three large greenhouses which have been erected for C. G. Dwight, at Jackman and East streets, are now almost ready for plant- ing. The glass for these houses, amount- ing to 35,000 square feet, was furnished by the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. Anton Schultheis PAllHS AND FERNS At Wholesale Boxwood, Araucarias.

CXEVELANa d^.iiv Tht Market The intenfie he&t the earlier part of the last week made it almost impossible to fill orders satisfactorily, as stock of all kinds was hard to keep. Carnations, especially, arrived soft and had to be moved quickly. Boses of all kinds, excepting Kaiserin and Eichmond, are coming in poor and small, almost down to summer average in quality. Peonies are in full blast, with plenty to fill all orders. Many thou- sands of this flower were used on Deco- ration day. Some outdoor sweet peas are being sent in and are picked up readily. Various Notes. Frank Piggott, of Meyers avenue, on the west siae, reports fine trade for Decoration day. Thieves entered the Florists' Exchange on Saturday night, taking a large quan- tity of long Beauties, as well as some postage stamps. Knoble Bros, report a heavy run on decorated wreaths for Decoration day, as well as a good cut flower trade. The F. R. Williams Co. is sending a fine cut of Kaiserin and also some good giganteum lilies. C. A. Bramley, of Superior avenue, has had a busy week, disposing of thou- sands of potted plants of all kinds. Peter Nichols reports a good call for all kinds of cut flowers for Decoration day. J, E. Bonsall, of Salem, consigned a fine lot of candytuft to this market for Decoration day. B. Cambeidge, Mass. — Albert F. S. Mahe- gan, in his store at 10 Norfolk street, has recently been celebrating the fourth anniversary of his entrance into business in this city. Fall Rivee, Mass. — John Lambert and his son, William, were thrown from a de- livery wagon May 23 and were bruised and cut, but not seriously injured. The horse had become unmanageable and was running along Rock street, when the wagon came in contact with a telegraph pole and the occupants were thrown out. The wagon was almost demolished, as well as the load of plants. Miscellaneous Plants per loo Mme.

A correspondent of a European trade paper writes : * ' The Lilac Lucy Baltet is by no means new, having been in cultiva- tion perhaps twenty-five years, but I was astonished to see it in flower at Ghent with blooms yellow cream color, as its ordinary color is old rose or faded rose, nearly copper of a delicate shade; we have bloomed it here within the last iew days. Upon consideration I am inclined to think that it becomes yellow by forc- ing, but would never be that color out- side. The same thing has happened with us with the variety Croncels, or Gloire de Croncels, which is deep carmine and pur- ple out of doors, but which when forced produces flowers of a deeper yellow than the plant of Lucy Baltet seen at Ghent. These varieties, Croncels and Lucy Bal- tet, have never been largely used for forcing, otherwise these peculiarities would have been remarked earlier; they are both good forcers."

What size steam line will it take to supply three houses each 18x200 for car- nations and one house 21x200 for roses and what size opening will it take in the boiler to supply the size line that is re- quired? The houses are five feet to the gutter and ten feet to the ridge. T. J. To supply the four houses in question with steam, the main supply pipe should be a 6-inch. If the boilers are provided with 4-inch openings and are worked in a battery of two or three, better satisfac- tion will be secured than from using one large boiler. The boilers can be yoked together by a cross line of 6-inch pipe fed from the boilers through 4-inch. PIPING IN KENTUCKY. I wish to know how many runs of 2- inch pipe it will take under each bench to heat a house 43x54 feet. I use hot water, and wish to heat to 50 degrees. Some- times we have zero weather or lower for a few days. I wish to grow carna- tions and bedding plants. The house will have six raised benches and one bed six feet wide, with 2-foot walks between. Will one 2-inch flow and two 2-inch re- turns under each bench be sufficient! I have at present in my house 15x40 feet two 2-inch flows and three 2-inch returns, or about 500 feet, which is satisfactory. In the house 10x45 feet I have about 600 feet of 1%-inch pipe. What size boiler should I have to heat the whole plant? Mine is rated for 1,700 square feet of radiation. Is it necessary to lower the boiler, which is at the lowest corner, on account of the slope of the ground, and if so, how much? K. Y. The quantity of pipe you have esti- mated, viz., one 2-inch flow and two 2- inch returns under each of the seven benches of the house 43x45 feet, should be sufficient to maintain the temperature specified. As the three houses require in the aggregate about 1,000 square feet of radiation, a boiler rated to carry 1,500 square feet of radiation would be suffi- cient for your work. CAHE OF APPARATUS. Should the water be removed from a hot water boiler during the summer? Should hot water pipes be emptied also? If they are not emptied, what is the damage done? Should a small fire be started when the pipes and boiler are «mpty to dry out the boiler? What causes the pipes to sweat in summer? Should the pipes be painted to preserve them? M, C. At the close of the season, and several times during each season, the boiler and heating pipes in either a steam or hot water heating plant should be drained and washed as thoroughly as possible, but never should be left empty. If after draining, as above noted, the plant can be filled with rain water, there will be less deterioration than with the use of well or spring water. Before starting the fires in the fall, drain off the water that has stood in the plant during the summer, refill with fresh water and go ahead, if all joints are in good repair. Never make a fire of any kind in an empty boiler, whether it be a steam or a IMPROVKD STKEL RETURN TUBULAR BOILER, FOR STEAM AND HOT WATER JOHNSTON HEATING CO. 138 East 31st Street, Mention The Review when you wrttp.

The so-called sweating of water pipes is due to the fact that they have a lower temperature than that of the surrounding air, which causes the moisture of the atmosphere to condense upon their sur- face.

The Market Business remains about the same as it has been for the last few weeks. Everything is at a standstill on account of 80 much rain. The markets are over- stocked with all kinds of pot plants, es- pecially geraniums and rose bushes. There is a scarcity of moonvines and these have to be ordered from Phila- delphia. In previous years the Decoration day business was a rush from start to finish, but this year it fell far below the sales for last year. The farmers overstocked the markets with peonies, which were dead ripe and soon wilted in the open. It looks as though there will be a good many plants left over this season. Varioat Notes. The Gardeners' Club has appointed a committee to revise the by-laws of the club and change its name so that it shall be known as the Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club of Baltimore. The club was organized in March, 1887. M. S. Griffith, of the well-known firm of Griffith & Turner Co., has sailed for Europe for three months, accompanied by his wife. George M. Cook, of Pimlico, has in- stalled an electric motor for pumping water for his range of glass. J. O, Willheim, of Gardenville, Md., has erected a new house, 200 feet long, for asparagus. Wm. Lananahan has invited the club to visit his place, called Blenheim, June Miss East, who opened a store on West North avenue, has gone out of business. She was formerly with Vincent, on Bal- timore street. The Flower Garden had an attractive window display for Decoration day. J. Bolgiano & Son sold 14,000 gera- niums this season. They handle all kinds of bedding plants in large quanti- ties, which are grown on contract by H. J. Quick, who has been growing them for the last four years.

The Market Business was away off the first three days of last week, but boomed up grand- ly for Decoration day, surprising every- one. But after all is said and done, it is doubtful if anyone made much money, as stock was very plentiful and prices very low. In fact, everything outside which usually blooms from May 1 to July 1 was in bloom, and with peonies and June roses at their best, one can well know that the trade must have suffered. The plantsmen, however, did a rec- ord-breaking business and more than one person hunted to get a few plants in bloom. There is much bedding still to be done, as the wet weather hindered the work. Beauties and roses are a glut and lilies are quite plentiful and good. Carnations are showing the effect of the heat. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Ludwig have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Lena Ludwig, to Victor F. Bergman, of Chicago. The engage- ment will terminate in a June wedding at St. Paul's United Evangelical Prot- estant church, north side, Pittsburg. The Pittsburg Florists' Club will meet Tuesday, June 9, in the store room of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. Faulk & Bros, had an order for a horse, natural size, which, on Decoration day, was placed in front of the mauso- leum which held the remains of Geo. E. Smith, known as Pittsburg Phil. The design was well executed and attracted 80 much attention that the crowds tramp- ed the grass out for 200 feet around the mausoleum. The cemetery officials, therefore, had the horse removed Sunday, before the people got out, and placed a wire around the tramped section and a guard to keep the people out. Hoo-Hoo. Lincoln I.

The regular monthly meeting of the Tarrytown Horticultural Society was held Friday evening, May 29, with Pres- ident Angus in the chair. The following gentlemen were elected active members of the society: George Bogg, John Mc- Gregor and Alexander Mark. One ap- plication was received. For this meeting J. W. Lindsay had offered prizes for the best exhibits of cut flowers from shrubs and hardy her- baceous plants. Two. fine lots were ex- hibited, one by John Woodcock, gar- dener to General McAlpin, Ossining, N. Y., and the other by Alexander Mait- land, Irvington, N. Y., which won in the order named. The annual June exhibition will be held in the Music hall, Tarrytown, N. Y., in the afternoon and evening of June 12, 1908, and we hope that every mem- ber will try to make an exhibit of flowers or plants and help to make this exhibi- tion a success. Exhibition free to all interested. Schedules for this, and also for the November exhibition, are ready and will be sent to all interested. Apply to Sec- retary E. W. Neubrand, Tarrytown, N. Y.

The Decoration day rush is over and, after looking things over, we find busi- ness was not up to the standard. There was plenty of stock to go around, but peonies were scarce, as the hot weather which we have been having for the last two weeks finished them up in short or- der. Up to June 19 the commencement rush will be on. This will keep everyone busy, as this work is more divided than any other class of work. O. O.

Cyrtomium falcatum Mayi is a hand- some and useful variety of an old favor- ite fern. The type is well known for its value in the cool greenhouse and in the home, but this new variety will be far and away more elegant than the type and just as useful. The fronds of Cyrto- mium falcatum Mayi are rather more stiff than those of the type, and less arching, but they spread gently and are prettily crested. It originated with H. B. May & Sons, Edmonton, near London, England, and was given an award of merit April 14 by the Royal Horticul- tural Society. Smith's Mam Manual sent bj the Be- viEW for 40 cents. TALKS ON GREENHOUSE MATERIAL :: :: No. 7. it- l^g^UYING greenhouse material is In 1 24 many ways just like buying a l^J horse— you must place a certain amount of confldence in the party you buy from. You may be a good judge of horses, but you don't know it all, for nobody can tell what's inside of the horse until you try him. You may be a good judge of greenhouse material too, but do you know all the various kinds of sap and all about the hundred and one little defects that cypress has which are hard to detect— in fact, do you know what is inside of the wood by looking at the out- side ? There's no use in talking, Mr. Flo- rist, you've simply got to have confidence In the firm you buy your greenhouse material of. We are bending all of our efforts to gain your confidence and after being in business forty years we think we have succeeded fairly well in a thous- and or more cases. It's the truth when we say that we do not know of one custo- mer who was dissatisfied with the quality of our goods. You can tell good work- manship when you see it, you can tell whether the material is made accurate or not, you are a fair judge of the price, but when it comes to the real quality it takes an expert and we are paying this expert a high salary to see that you get the right quality. It means something to you when we say that not one custo- mer has yet complained of the quality of our material. Don't be fooled by low prices, but look into things closely before you buy. For the hundredth time we insist that "it pays to pay for quality." Our large 96-page catalog will be sent anywhere free on request. John C. Moninger Co. 129 E.

The Weekly Florists' Review^ THE RETAIL PLORIST '<^n.'<»^^Myv*^>* '^^^«^^^<<^^><^i>^'*^w>.«^^<>.' THE WISCONSIN EAGLE, A few weeks ago the Eeview pub- lished reproductions of photographs showing the Eagles of Illinois and New England. Now comes one from Wiscon- sin. It is accompanied by the follow- ing letter from P. N. Obertin, of Ke- nosha : "Some time ago we noticed the Re- view's reproductions of Eagle designs. I send you herewith a photograph of our Eagle, adopted as the official emblem of our local aerie. This piece was made by Mrs. P. N. Obertin and perhaps the trade would like to compare this style with the others." '^SHOW ME.** W. J. Palmer & Son, of Buffalo, who are represented in the Review's depart- ment for the cards of "Leading Retail Florists," have built up a large busi- ness in the execution of orders for flo- rists who have work to deliver in Buf- falo, and have adopted a somewhat unique means of showing the customer at a distance what he gets for his money. They have an arrangement by which it is possible to photograph their work at moderate expense, and promptly. In most cases when an order is received from out of town, and in every case where the value is more than nominal, it is their intention to make a photograph of the design to send to the out-of-town customer. They find it makes a hit. HOUSE DECORATING. The Green for a Tedding. We will now suppose that we have a decoration calling for a group of palms in a front room, trimming the fixtures and arches with smilax, two mantels to take care of, several vases of flowers, and a table to decorate. We will begin by ar^unging the palms, while the helper, if we< have one, may start to trim the fixtures. In the group of palms we should avoid even lines as much as possible. Start with a few tall, not too bushy plants, set high up on stands, gradually working down to the floor. Every plant should have a suit- able pot cover. When trimming a lighting fixture with smilax, asparagus, or any green, do not try to hide the whole fixture — just cover it lightly with green. Commence with the thin or pointed end of the green and work down, doing the arms last. Next in order would be the arches, which the assistant can start while you are decorating a fireplace — an ordinary, open fireplace, in which a few plants are to be arranged, as it is not in use. First put a nice, graceful palm into place, put- ting it back a ways into the opening, so you will get more of a to{» view of the palm; then put the pandanus into place and lastly the ferns. Now, this all sounds quite easy, but often you will experience some trouble in getting a nice, airy ef- fect, or to get the plants to stay in the position you wish them to. By rearrang- ing them several times the desired eifect can usually be attained. Some news- paper crumpled up will aid you in hold- ing the plants in a tilting position. This paper must be hidden with some fern leaves, or, still better, some southern smilax, if this is available. The second one is not an open fireplace and we will just stand a nice palm in a jardiniere a little to one side at the front. On the mantel we are to bank some ferns. Clear away all the bric-a- brac, or have some member of the fam- ily do so, which may save us some un- looked-for expense. Lay a piece of news- paper across the top of the shelf and also against the wall; this takes but a moment and will prevent injury to the fern at one side, so the whole will not appear too formal. We left our assistant trimming the arches. No set rule can be given for this work. It depends somewhat on the amount of smilax we can use. Drape it in various ways on the different arches. Do not overload them with green. Over a small doorway a pretty scheme is to arrange the smilax on one side only. This is what I would call the more rough work on a decoration. As ours is to be an evening wedding, we will not bring the flowers until the afternoon. Before we leave the house see that we have cleaned up the worst of the dirt we have made. Also make sure of what we want for the afternoon, as the cus- tomer may have changed her mind since the time the order was placed. In my next article we will take care of the flowers and table. Hugo Schroeter. A FLORIST TAXIDERMIST.

Smith, known as Pittsburg Phil. The design was well executed and attracted so much attention that the crowds tramped the The Eagle in Wisconsin. woodwork and wall-paper. Now, if you have some of the wire supports made by wiremen for tilting plants we will use these; if not, we will have to fall back on some more old paper to assist us. Cover the whole top of the mantel with some nice, bushy Bostons, tilting them so as to have a nice effect from all points in the room. You might p^ace a larger grass out for 200 feet around the mauso- leum. ' ' The above is from the Pittsburg let- ter in the Review of June 4, and what- ever one may think of the taste of the people who would order such a floral design, it must be admitted that no wiser selection of the florist to make the piece could have been made, for The Weekly Florists' Review. June 11, 1008. Frank Faulk, of the firm of Faulk & Bros., is known throughout Pittsburg and Allegheny for his knowledge of nat- ural history. Someone says a man without a hobby loses half the pleasure of living. The photographs here reproduced are flash- light pictures of two corners of Frank Faulk's den. He is an enthusiastic taxi- dermist, besides being a great hunter and fisherman. Most of his specimens are his own trophies and of late he has been turning his collection into a bread- winner, as some of the large department stores are arranging window displays of seasonable hunting and fishing scenes, using his material. A window display of his specimens in a flower store, or otherwise, never fails to hold a crowd all day. lu connection with his spccimcus of taxidermy he has a curio collection; along one side of his den are hundreds of pistols, each with a history, and noth- ing delights him more than to have his friends spend an evening with him and look over his collection. These things are a part of his home. His business is in the Allegheny market, where he and his brother conduct a very prosperous flower business. ^<^^^'^<^'^fe♦>^^fe»>^*^^^^^«^'^^#^^><^^**^^**^^*<^'**^^*<^ SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS Ww>.«*W-^^^>.'*->v'»^>*^^>^ ^^^^^'^'n^m^^m^^m^ ytew^^^^ »«f^^Mf»>^^^xc»»: The side growths on your pandanus can be rooted at any time during the year. Now, while there is so much sun heat, ■ you will ■ have few failures if you have your propagating bed shaded and keep the sand constantly moist. Palms. Ficus EtatHca. One of the foliage plants which never seems to wane in popularity is the rub- ber plant. It is one of thie best sub- jects for culture in. the home, and with Aspidistra lurida, Kentia Belmoreana and Nephrolepis Bostoniensis makes a quartette hard to beat. "Where there is any considerable stock of ficus, it pays to grow them in a lath shed, during the summer months. They become stocky and are of a splendid deep green color when taken indoors. Occasionally we see these stood under the shade of trees. Such treatment, how- ever, superinduces legginess. They ar§, better in such a position, neverthelessjj? than under glass. Cuttings produced by ringing during the winter months should now have be- come well rooted in their first pots and should require a shift. Use heavier com- post now and press it quite firmly in the pots. If for any reasop you have failed to do the necessary propagation and still wish to do so, keep your old stock plants in a shaded house, where a close, moist atmosphere is maintained. By keeping the moss constantly moist which covers the cuts, the shoots will soon send out roots and make you serviceable plants be- fore winter. Pandanus Vdtchii. Among colored-leaved foliage plants Pandanus Veitchii is one of the best. It maSes a useful plant for the house, in a small size for the dining-table and in larger sizes for filling jardinieres. It also makes a good piazza specimen, while in mixed tropical beds it is hard to beat. Even the oldest and most un- gainly plants can be iftilized to advan- tage for the latter work. While classed as a stove or warm green- house plant, it succeeds much better in summer grown in frames, if these are of sufficient depth to give the plants the required headroom. Put in a coat- ing of coal ashes to stand the pots on. Shade the glass well arid syringe fteely in warm weather, closing up the frames so as to bottle up a brisk heat each afternoon. Allow the temperature to run up to 100 degrees in the shade, with plenty of moisture, and your pan- danus will revel under such conditions. The question of additional shading for palms should not be overlooked just now. Heavy rains will soon wash away much of the early coatings, and if more is not added, the foliage will soon take on a yellowish hue. If the houses are glazed with clear glass it is especially nec- essary that no clean panes are to be found in the roof, or the sun may soon ruin the foliage on some valuable plants and render them unsalable. Plants which are well rooted in their pots should receive an occasional water- ing with liquid manure, varying this with a surface dressing of some well concentrated chemical fertilizer, of which there are now several on the market and which are valuable aids to the growers of all foliage plants. Ply the hose freely among palms, keeping a genial, moist atmosphere at all times. Direct the water through a sprayer with such force as to keep insect pests in check and thus save you much sponging. , Sweet Peas Outdoors. The flowers from plants under glass present a jaded appearance now that the outdoor crop is coming in season. This remains far the most popular of all flowering annuals and, although sweet peas now are procurable every month in the year, people never seem to weary of them. The odor seems particularly refreshing during the hot months and, while prices may rule low at times, good flowers will always sell. To keep the plants flowering during the summer they should have a little attention now. A thorough hoeing and clearing out of weeds should be followed with a liberal mulch of grass, straw, or well decayed manure, the latter being most valuable. This will help to keep the roots cool and moist. In hot, dry weather a hosing overhead in the evenings will refresh the plants and help to keep aphis and red spider in check. Pick the flow- ers clean and do not allow any seed pods to form. Each grower will know probably what colors suit his customers best. As a rule, mixtures are not wanted, but sepa- rate colors, like white, light and dark blue, and various shades of pink, will always sell. Cultivation* It may seem like an old story, but on the persistent use of the cultivator much of the success or failure of an out- door crop will depend. Any practical man can see at a glance the steady im- provement in the crops, if the soil is kept constantly stirred. To allow the ground to become hard and baked is poor policy. Plants will not thrive under such conditions, no matter how generous- ly the land has been prepared for them. A newly cultivated patch of ground is pleasing to the eye and the plants show up much better than on one left to na- ture. We get, during the hot months. Floral Horse made by Faulk Bros., Allegheny.

It is specially necessary after the latter to ply the cultivator to hold the moisture in the ground. The growing season is a short one, and to make the most of it we must keep insect pests in check and tickle tha sur- face soil frequently. While the culti- vator will suffice for most of our crops, it will be necessary to do some hand weeding where weeds are near the plants, and the hoe can be used advantageously where rows are too closely placed to admit the use of horse or even hand cultivators. Beddine Out Aftermath. It is usually well along in June before bedding out is really over. Owing to the warm May, work is more advanced than usual in this important line. As batches o^ various bedding plants be- come thinned out, place them together to economize in watering. Do not throw the empty pots on or under the benches. Keep them cleared away and stack them neatly for future use. Your own bedding out should be com- pleted before this time. Nothing adds more to the appearance of a commercial establishment than nicely planted beds of cannas or geraniums on a neatly trimmed lawn. Probably you may have a miscellaneous assortment of foliage plants of rather inferior quality to attract customers' eyes, such varieties as ficus, crotons, dra- caenas, pandanus, aspidistras, etc. These will make a nice mixed tropical bed. A few fancy-leaved caladiums, curculigos or ophiopogons will also work in nicely and any left-over alternantheras will do well as a groundwork. A hosing over on warm evenings will benefit such a bed greatly, and it is surprising how attrac- tive it will be all summer. Brief Reminders. Make a final sowing of asters and stocks for fall flowering in the open. For fungous growths on outdoor crops use Borcleaux mixture. This is easily made. Slake four pounds lime slowly in a tub; dissolve six pounds sulphate of copper (blue vitriol) in another tub. When both are cold, pour together in a barrel. Add water sufficient to make fifty gallons and mix thoroughly. Use some Paris green in the mixture for leaf-eating insects. Eight ounces per barrel will suffice, or three pounds arse- nate of lead. Get the little cuttings of "geraniums for winter blooming potted off at once and grow along in a light, sunny house. Put stakes to the fuchsias for late summer blooming before they become twisted. Pinch out the tops and remove all flower buds for some time. Order lumber for bench repairs with- out delay. There i^ usually a good deal of this work to do and the sooner it is finished the better. Pot along young seedlings of Dracaena indivisa. These will do well outdoors if stood on a bed of cinders. Choose cool evenings for fumigating the houses, especially if they are to be left closed all night. In bedding out during dry weather, be sure the balls of all the plants are well soaked before planting. Put supports to tuberous rooted be- gonias before they come into flower, as the shoots are easily broken. CREOSOTE IN GREENHOUSES. With reference to the use of creosote in greenhouse construction, as discussed in the Keview of June 4, page 10, I en- tertain the same ideas as are there ex- pressed by the John C, Moninger Co. My opinions are supported by the re- sults of disastrous experience which came under my observation several years ago. Houses in which roses and carnations had been grown for several years had a portion of one of the partitions treated with a wood preservative containing cre- osote, and not until the lumber so treat- ed was removed was it possible to grow either of the crops for which the houses were designed and for which they had for several years been successfully used. I do not think it safe to use creosote in houses to be used for either roses or carnations. Other plants may be able to withstand it, but I consider it risky business. L. C. Corbett. OPPORTUNE TIME TO AGITATE. Two frightful gas accidents have oc- curred within the last ten days, here in Chicago. The deadly gas fumes claimed eight human lives as victims. Is it not a good time to agitate in favor of the use of electric lights, to supersede gas? Every florist should do this, for what would improve house conditions for plant life more than the abolition of gas fumes, obnoxious to both plants and people? It will be .a prosperous day for the flo- rists when house plants can be made to flourish with people in general, for then will they buy cheerfully and bountifully. A long step in that direction will be taken when gas has been expelled. Anna Grace Sawyer. PLANT FOR NAME.

J. Hamilton is building a conservatory at Cape May Court House, N. J. A Corner in the Den of Frank Faulk. Allegheny, Pa. The Weekly Florists' Review, June 11, 1908. EARLY PLANTED HOUSES. Care of the Growing Stock. Planting will now occupy the greater part of the growers' time, and during the busy time the earlier planted houses are apt to be somewhat neglected. Be- yond the regular watering, ventilating and syringing, they are in nian\ cases left to themselves. Under no circum- stances should cultivating be neglected, as without this encouragement during hot weather the plants will come almost to a standstill, which is the preliminary to going back. Keeping a strict guard on the encroach- ments of pests and devising means for their destniction must be strictly paid at- tention to, and, in order to get the full benefit of syringing, fumigating and free air circulation, the plants must be kept tied up and not allowed to scramble over the ground. If this is neglected, red spider cannot be kept in control, as it is impossible to use the syringe with effect. Beauties which have made some growth should be gone over and, where necessary, the tops should be cut out in order to make them bush. Cut off all the buds as soon as they show color. Keep a care- ful watch for spot, which will soon begin to show whore conditions are favorable. Kibes. FOR SIMILAR TREATMENT. I have a three-quarter-span house about twenty-five feet long and eighteen feet wide, in which I am anxious to try some roses on the middle and the high side bench. I would like to know what two good varieties that will take about the same treatment can be raised. I would like a good white and a good pink. Would it be advisable to try three varieties? Kindly give a green man a little advice. J. G. If the house has a southern exposure it is suitable for any of the ordinary varieties used by florists. Bride is by far the best white and Bridesmaid a good pink. Chatenay is a fine pink and Ivory a fine white. These last named are not quite so susceptible to mildew as other varieties. Killarney is also a good pink and easily grown. Ribes. ROSE STOCK IN POTS. Please give full directions as to the care of rose stock in pots, such as Brides, Maids, Richmond, Killarney, etc., which are not to be planted for some time yet. Some of the plants I have in my care have dropped a gobd many leaves. Will the use of dry sulphur for dusting the plants do thisf Will too much of a drviug out hav« the same effect? >w.^ -^-nr^- . ■. ■t- H.G.F. Rose stock in pots during the hot months requires a deal of care to keep it growing and free from such pests as mildew and spot. As soon as the pots are filled with roots, they should get a shift to prevent their receiving a check. By allowing them to dry out the roots will suffer, as they are usually close to the sides of the pots and are easily scorched, and in consequence the leaves will drop. Sulphur in excess has a very debilitating effect, especially when it gets mixed with the soil. What they require is ample pot room, plenty of room on the bench, all avail- able sunlight, sufficient water, syringing and a free circulation of air. Ribes. PLANTS FOR SPRING SALES. What is the best size of glass to use in a house for growing bedding plants prin- cipally? What quality and what price should it be bought at, considering that I Mould be buying several months in advance of need? Would like to use not less than 16x20 if it would be all right. When should I start to grow Asparagus plumosus nanus. Asparagus Sprengeri, ferns and daisies for next spring sales? Is it best to buy small plants or grow from seeds? E. B. Plants for spring sales, it is generally assumed, will grow in any old house, but the advantages of light, modern houses over those of rather ancient erection are so obvious that no practical grower would want to return to the old type. Never- theless, good stock can be turned out from the latter. I would advise using 16x24 glass, the same as you would put in for roses, carnations or mums. Write to any of the firnis that advertise glass in the BAyiBw. Tiey will tell you^a5)out pnce, ete. '*?v>? Asparagus plumosus nanus and A. Sprengeri can still be sown and make nice plants for next spring's sales. I think it would be better for you to buy small ferns rather than try to raise them from spores. Marguerites, if only wanted in small sizes, need not be rooted until next February. If you want large flowering plants, root them late in the fall. All of the plants named can be bought cheaply by the hundred or thou- sand, and if yon have no propagating fa- cilities, it would probably be better for you to buy them from some one of the many advertisers of the plants you ar« in need of. By scanning the classified advertising department of the Review, you will be able to find a good list of excellent firms who can supply your needs. Nephrolepis ferns, if bought in small sizes now, can be benched and lifted in the fall or kept in pots as preferred. They will need some shade, but it must not be heavy. The asparagus also pre- fers a light shade. Some other ferns, like adiantums, require fairly heavy shade in summer. C. W.

The accompanying illustration, from a photograph taken last week, shows the peony show in the packing shed of the Andorra Nurseries, at Chestnut Hill, Pa. In all 350 varieties of peonies were staged, one vase of each. They included many of the old standbys rarely seen on the exhibition table of today, and many of the novelties that have not yet made their bow. There were also all the best of the standard varieties. A brief visit left time for but a few random notes on this really beautiful exhibition. Among the peonies that seemed to have special merit as cut flower varieties was Couronne d'Or, an immense white, its name. Crown of Gold, being well de- served by the yellow circle in the center, which becomes more apparent with age. Couronne d'Or, staged side by side with Festiva Maxima, gave excellent oppor- tunity for comparison. Festiva Max- ima is the purer white of the two, but the pale ivory tint of Couronne d'Or is not sufficient to take it from the white class. Couronne d'Or has the merit of being a splendid keeper. The flowers on the table were one week old and still in good condition. In size there is little to choose between these two varieties. Among the novelties were several of Kelway 's latest creations. An exquisite single, named Moonbeam, was particu- larly pleasing from its varied shades of color. The show was by no means confined to peonies. There were hardy roses, con- spicuous among them being Alexander Dickson & Sons' new rose, Irish Beauty, a single white, pure and fragrant. There were vases of many outdoor flowers of the day, the foxgloves being especially decorative. Specimen trees and ever- greens relieved the intensity of color, a beautiful Japanese maple in an earthen- ware jar being a feature. An important change, made since the photograph was Junk 11, 1908.

Humphreys, William Warner Harper's right-hand man, said there would be a new exhibition each week during the summer. Japanese iris and hardy phloxes will soon follow. Phil. OPEN HOUSE AT PETERSOlSrS. Charles Willis Ward, of Queens, N. Y., president of the American Peony Society, was the first of the stream of members of the trade who are this week wending their way out from the business district of Chicago to the peony fields of the Peterson Nursery. Mr. Ward spent a portion of Saturday, June 6, in Chicago, having come down from the Michigan woods, above Saginaw, for the special purpose of going over the peony situation with Mr. Peterson, and looking over his fields. This week the members of the American Association of Nurserymen, by twos and threes and half dozens, are in- specting the Peterson stock, and espie- cially the peonies, on their way to or from the Milwaukee convention. To the Review Mr. Ward said that in the last year he has rather lost to»ch with the carnation, the peony and the nursery business through having to spend a large part of his time looking after his interests in the lumber district of Mich- igan. The sale of the estate in which Mr. Ward is concerned is scheduled to take place June 15 and on its prompt consummation depends Mr. Ward's pres- ence at the peony convention at Ithaca, N. Y., June 19 and 20. Mr. Ward says it will take perhaps another year to close up his affairs in Michigan, and after that he purposes to secure relaxation by di- verting his energies to his hobbies, which are the carnation and the peony. As for the peony: "Our sales in- crease each year and I haven't vet met anyone who was not fond of the flower, ' ' said Mr. Ward. "There is no other plant or flower that has such a wide range of usefulness; in landscape work and on home grounds it will be much more extensively used, while it is so im- portant a cut flower that in its season it crowds all others and takes the center of the stage. Every florist who grows cut stock for his own trade will find he must have his field of peonies, and when his customers see them in bloom they will buy plants at good prices." At the Peterson Nursery there is a row of Festiva Maxima, more than 500 plants 5 years old. They are in rich, deep, well drained soil and stand four and a half feet high. Aside from those in the trade, there are hundreds of other visitors dur- ing peony time, for it is the practice to keep open house at Peterson Manor, as the society editor calls it, during that fortnight. There is never a hint of busi- ness, but, if the visitor has grounds at home, the sight of that magnificent row of Festiva Maxima is pretty sure to cause inquiry for the order clerk. Anyway, the visitor is given a couple of blooms to take home. "That lands them every time," said Mr. Peterson. "After they have had them in water a day, and the flowers have attained their full develop- ment, they simply can't resist; and when they telephone for some plants of 'the big white,' of course they take a pink." "What pink do you put in the same class as Festiva Maxima?" was a nat- ural question. "Well, there are few better peonies, of any color, than Mons. Jules Elie. It is clear flesh pink, massive shape, extra large, free, early and in every way a fit companion for Festiva Maxima. It is good either for the garden or for cut- ting. ' ' * ' But there is more than one good pink, ' ' continued Mr. Peterson. ' ' Living- stone is an extra fine late pink, a rich, clear shade, a variety of the highest class. Delicatissima is one of the best cut flower sorts. It is large, clear pink, exceptionally fragrant and a strong grower, so it can be cut with long stems. ' ' Giganthea is one Mr. Ward thinks well of. It is a beautifully clear shade of light pink, full centered and a specially fine thing for cut flower work. "The only criticism of it," said Mr. Peterson, who has worked up quite a stock, "is that it is slow to multiply. It was sent out by a Holland firm as Giganthea, but it is the earlier French introduction. La Martine, renamed." "Before we get too far away from the subject of whites, I want to say a word for Mme. de Verneville. It is cer- tainly one of the most beautiful sorts we have. Its form is not at all like Festiva Maxima, being globular and reg- ular. It is pure white, with a faint blush tint in the center; delicate, early, free and exceptionally fragrant. In my opinion it is worth special mention in every dealer's list." To go back to the pinks, Alexandriana is one that looks like an exalted Gi- ganthea; but if you chance to pick up a price-list you find Alexandriana the cheaper. Evidently it combines rapid growth and divisibility with its other good qualities. At Peterson Nursery no pretense is made of introducing new sorts, but every new name leads to an order for stock for trial. If it proves to be an old sort, renamed, it gives a line on the party who supplied the stock; if it proves an im- provement, stock is worked up; if no im- provement, the department store buyer gets the whole lot of plants. In this way over 400 varieties are being grown, but only a few score are in quantity, with more of a couple dozen sorts than of all the other 400 combined. The mixed nomenclature of the peony doesn't worry Mr. Peterson as much as it does some people. He buys large quan- tities of stock in Europe and from Amer- ican dealers, but does not sell a plant until it has flowered on his own grounds. "If every large American grower would follow that practice, each would know exactly what he was doing and all dealers could buy with certainty they would get s 1.7^- ■:•♦ ■•^j; 8 The Weekly Florists^ Review. June 11, 1908. what they wanted and could resell with confidence. ' ' Speaking of dealers, "We have had more inquiries than usual for price- lists," said Mr. Peterson, "and I look for a larger business in peonies this sea- son than last. Many of the inquiries are from florists who are planting for their own cutting; others are from florists who take orders for September planting, and others come from nurserymen who find the demand is turning to the finer sorts and that they have got to clean up the mixed lots and the common varieties anl plant or buy for their trade what the people want — the best, without much re- gard for price." "As to whether it pays the florist to grow peonies to sell the plants, the good sorts, that cost $1 a plant, will after two years' growth be profitable if the divi- sions are sold even 'as low as 50 cents." Recent visitors to Peterson Nursery have found that the peony show was really a secondary spectacle compared to the display of irises. As a show o^ color, nothing finer could be imagined. Irises are rapidly gaining favor for garden use. Some of the best are: Sans Souci, standard golden yellow, falls crimson brown; the brightest yel- low there is. Harlequin Milanais, standard white flaked violet, falls rich violet reticulated with white; large, orchid-like. Mme. Chereau, tallest, white, elegantly frilled with violet. Speciosa, standard lavender, falls dark reddish purple; exceptionally fragrant. Gertrude is a beautiful violet blue. This is a Peterson seedling. AT BLOOMINGTON, EX. My peonies have made a simply glor- ious show this season and have attracted a great deal of attention. The idea that the popularity of the peony is on the wane is simply ridiculous. There may be a glut of the cut flowers in certain wholesale markets in the height of the season, but the peony is, and always will be, the people's flower. It is eminently adapted to decorating the graves of the nation's heroes, and at Memorial day has a place no other flower can fill at this season. My Memorial day demand was immense and taxed my best efforts to fill. My grounds have been the wonder and admiration of the city, while the peonies were in flower. My peonies are on a southeastern slope, 750 feet from east to west, and rising thirteen feet in 200, with the Bloomington and Normal electric cars running along the lower side. The frequent rains in May, and the bright sun between showers, gave the plants a growth and the flowers a brilliance of color I nave never seen before. It was a veritable exhibition for all who passed and the show did much to add to the popularity of the peony in this vicinity. F. A. Baller. THE PEONY CONVENTION. As announced in the Review last week, the sixth annual meeting and fifth annual exhibition of the American Peony Society will be held June 19 and 20 at the State College of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, Cornell Uni- versity, Ithaca, N. Y., and all consign- ments of flowers for exhibition must be so addressed. All entries must be sent direct to the manager of the exhibition, Leon D. Batchelor, Ithaca, so as to reach him at least two days before -the ex- hibition. The premium list is practically the same as last year and has been sent to members by Secretary A. H. Fewkes, of Newton Highlands, Mass. In a circular accompanying it he says in part: "It is earnestly desired that all mem- bers who can will attend this meeting. The prospects for a successful meeting are good. The weather conditions have been favorable for the best development of the peony, and advices from Ithaca are to the effect that the plants in the test collections have wintered well and give promise of abundant bloom.

' ' Prof. Whetzel, as chairman of the committee on diseases of the peony, will make a report for that committee which undoubtedly will be of much interest. "To those who did not attend the meeting last year it may be said that all who did, have a pleasant remembrance of the hospitable manner in which the society was received, and in all probabil- ity are looking forward to meeting again where so much of interest is at hand, and where pleasure and profit may be combined. It will pay you to go and see what has been done and what is under way in the interest of better conditions in the peony business of the country. The regular business meeting will be held at 3 J), m. on the first day, June 19. "The test collections are now in the immediate charge of Leon D. Batchelor and he requests all members and others who issue catalogues or price lists of peonies to favor him with copies of them if they have not already done so." Appleton, Wi.s. — Miles Meidam, whose greenhouses are located on Cars-er street, recently purchased the house and lot owned by W. ('. Rogers, on the same street. The consideration was $3,500. EUROPEAN NOTES. The principal horticultural exhibition of the year in France was opened in Paris May 23. The extensive range of buildings devoted to the show was full of interest from end to end, and the art of arranging, in which the French excel, was simply perfection. Novelties were not very abundant, but a few awards were made, among the most notable of which were the follow- ing: Lupinus polyphyllus Moerheimi, raised by B. Ruys, of the Moerheim Nurseries, Dedemsvaart, Holland, and exhibited by L. Ferard, Paris; Clematis Mile. Yvette, a mauve flowered variety of the l^uginosa type, exhibited by Houry & Sons, Orleans; Zonal Pelargo- nium Dagata, a vigorous variety, with large semi-double pink flowers and trusses five inches across, from Andre Charmet, of Lyon. A grand feature of the show was the great display by Vilmorin, Andrieux & Co., of Paris. Part of this exhibit con- sisted of a rock garden, with a stream of water trickling among the stones and verdure. Another section was composed of banks of annuals, in which stocks, nas- turtiums, aquilegias, schizanthus, etc., were prominent, flanked by sweet peas in pots, with all the most popular varie- ties in fine form; probably the largest display of sweet peas ever seen in France at a flower show. Vilmorin 's exhibit will help to extend the culture of sweet peas in France. G. & A. Clark, of Dover, England, also exhibited a fine table of vases of sweet peas, especially good Henry Eckford, St. George, Helen Lewis and Helen Pierce. Massive groups of rhododendrons, many of the plants eight feet in diam- eter, were exhibited by the famous grow- ers, Moser & Sons and Croux & Sons. Hundreds of plants from two feet to eight feet in diameter were exhibited by each. Aug. Dessert, of Chenonceaux, had a busy time among the peonies. He put up a fine collection and their popularity was apparent from the hosts of admir- ing visitors who plied the attendants with questions. In herbaceous peonies, La Fiancee, pure white, in the bud re- sembling large Niphetos roses, was prom- inent; also Sarah Bernhardt, a blush pink. In tree peonies, Athlete, an im- mense rosy pink flower; Comtesse de Tu- dor, blush, and Comte de Flandre, blush, caught the eye. In Japanese, Augusta Dessert, a single rose colored flower, and Lakme, a gigantic single white, were popular. Fine beds of roses in pots, of such varieties as Mme. Norbert Levavasseur, Baby Rambler, Mrs. Cutbush, etc., were pretty features. By the way, Norbert Levavasseur (of Levavasseur & Sons, Ussy), who was present, received the warm congratulations of many friends on his election to the office of mayor of Boulogne, where he resides. W. Atlee Burpee was among the vis- itors, and in his opinion the grandest exhibits were the rhododendrons and Vilmorin 's display, regarding which he spoke in terms of the highest praise. Bee.

Pfeiffer 's busi- ness this season has been heavier than last year, he says, and the demands on his time and strength have also been in- creased by the unseasonable weather and the hard times. But as results are what count, he says he is contented. June 11, 1008. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 9 • • [ior\s CARNATION NOTES.- WEST. Preparing ^or Next Season. With Memorial day past and gone and the annual school commencements soon over, the demand for carnation blooms will soon be on the wane. As long as the asters are not plentiful, there will, of course, be a fair demand for light- colored blooms, but all the darker shades can well be dispensed with at any time now. This applies especially to the wholesale grower. The retail grower can, of course, make good use of any kind of a fair bloom in funeral work all through the summer. So the next good thing on tap is get- ting the beds emptied, repaired and re- filled, ready to replant for next season. The time to begin this work is just as soon after the old plants are useless as it is possible to get at it. To put it off a month or more just because you may not wish to plant in early is not a wise thing to do, as it cannot possibly gain you anything, while, on the other hand, it might cause you considerable loss of time if you happen to find, unexpectedly, a few benches that need rebuilding. This repairing of benches nearly always con- sumes more time than one figures on at the beginning and, in fact, it is fre- quently the cause of late planting and a consequent loss of consiiierable of the early season's crop of blooms. To refill the beds early does not nec- essarily mean that you must replant early, but it does mean that you will be able to plant whenever you wish to do so. If you are in the habit of planting in late, let me urge you to plant a part of your carnations early this season. Get them on the benches by July 15 and see whether you will not be pleased with the results. I will have more to say at the proper time about the lifting and caring for the plants after housing, but get your beds ready so you can plant any time you want to. Semi-solid Beds. If you have heretofore been using raised benches altogether, and you find some that need rebuilding this summer, I would like to prevail upon you to give the semi-solid bed, such as we now use exclusively, a fair trial in a limited way and see whether you will not want more of them. I am not prepared to give you any figures on the cost of construction and maintenance of the two styles of beds, nor of the number of blooms cut and the comparative quality. All I can say is this : We tried the two styles side by side in the same houses and planted to the same varieties, and we were so well pleased with these beds that we are installing no more raised beds for grow- ing carnations. Now, do not get the idea that this is simply a hobby with us, as it is not. It is a matter of dollars and cents. If we could get better results from the raised benches we certainly would install them, and whenever we run across a style of bench or bed that beats the one we now use, we will certainly change to that style. The old saying, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof," is well applied in this case. Theories and opinions count for nothing in the face of actual facts, as worked out by personal experience. The construction of the semi-solid beds is simple enough and I have described it in these columns before. Build up your side walls from the ground with whatever material you choose, and to whatever height you wish. We make ours out of wood, using red cedar posts 2x4, set in the ground about eighteen inches deep and four feet apart. We use pecky cypress boards, 1x12, for the sides. These boards can be set up from the ground fully two inches if coarse filling material is used along the sides, thus making the bed fourteen inches high. This is then filled up with cinders from our boilers to within four inches from the top, leaving the balance for soil, etc. If you use concrete — which is all the rage these days — for the sides, you can build them any height you want them. We find, however, that twelve to eighteen inches is the best all-round height. It is high enough to be worked well and will use up a big lot of filling material, too, besides being less liable to push the sides out than where the sides are two feet or more. The only thing I will ask of you, in case you decide to install one of these beds, is that you build it as described above, and give it a fair location in the house. Do not put it where a raised bench never grew good stock, as one of our acquaintances once did, and do not use old bench soil and sand, etc., for filling, as the same person did. We have found nothing so good for filling as cin- ders. Refining the Benches. But to get back to filling the beds for planting. Be sure the beds or benches will hold up the full season. Before filling in the soil, be sure you clean them well and give a coat of hot lime wash. Especially is this desirable if you were troubled with stem-rot this season. We spread a scant inch of manure at the bottom of the bench before filling in the soil. Either cattle or horse manure will do, providing it is old enough not to heat. Then spread on the soil and make it level with the sides of the bench. In planting it will be packed down enough to allow for watering and later on for mulching. Break up all the lumps as you bring in the soil, as carnations like a well pulverized soil to work in. We have always, heretofore, used a fair amount of bone meal at planting time, believing that it benefited the growth of the plants. Professor Gallo- way, however, asserts that bone meal does not improve the crop in any way and that it is useless, and money thrown away, to apply bone to the soil. A prom- inent carnation grower related to me a similar experience with this much used article the past season. So we will make some experiments this season along that line, to determine whether bone meal is as indispensable as we formerly consid- ered it. The growers of this country spend many thousands of dollars on ground bone every season and it would be a pity if this had been done unnec- essarily and without any return for it. If you do not plant the beds for some time after they are filled, do not keep the soil very moist, but do not allow it to become dust-dry either. Neither is good for it. A. F. J. Baur. MAY-FLOWERING TULIPS. The name May-flowering tulips is very misleading; the title is very well in Eu- rope, but it will not do in this country, at least not in Virginia. Our so-called May-flowering tulips were well over be- fore Easter. The Darwins dragged on a week or two after, but were finished before May. A writer, speaking of an exhibition of tulips, says Margaret and Picotee were both shown under one name. Another variety, labeled Beauty of America, came nearer the type. Now, the only tulip likely to confound one is White Queen, and it is evident this was the one, but it is not Picotee shaped. Moreover, the latter would proclaim itself after three days in water, by turning almost pink. The same writer says Bouton d'Or and Golden Crown showed up well. Now, although both are splendid commercial varieties, they are not much on the ex- hibition table. He mentions Gretchen as being very fine. Now, in all he mentions but six sorts. Where were Mrs. Moon (syn. Gesneriana Lutea), Pink Beauty, Inglescomke Pink, Striped Beauty, Paris- ian Yellow, etc., none of which gets a notice! These should have been seen, even if too high-priced as yet for com- merce. Did the display include Darwins? We :,vv','^ ■ ■ t ^' tf\ - \0 The Weekly Florists^ Review* June 11, 1908. presume not. This being so, we would like to give a prize next year for the best twelve of one variety shown. O. W. D 'Alcorn. t: Annual pink lupines. Then useful annuals are well adapted for indoor culture and can easily be had in bloom for Christmas. The illustration herewith does not show by any means the b^st spikes; much finer ones can be produced under bench culture. The se6d from which th^ flowers fwere cut at Christmas was sown in smalt pots the^ first week in September, one or two deeds ' being |>placed in each pot. The plants were kept in a coldframe and later in a cold house, just clear of freezing, being placed in a night temperature of 50 de- grees a-, month or ..so before the flowers were cut. They were grown in boxes containing six inches of compost. •, Anyone desiring a. pleasing variety _of annuals to grow under glass should try lupines. Sown in a bench in a house kept in winter at 45 degrees at night, they will make sturdy plants and produce fine spikes. Four months from seed sow- ing to flowering is ample. The flowers last well in water and make a desirable addition to midwinter flowers. Of the many shades cultivated, the pink colored one is the most effective. W. N. Craig. in ha vail Jared G. Smith, special agent in charge of the government experiment station at Honolulu, writes as follows of the trade interests in Hawaii: "The flower business of the islands is largely in the hands of Hawaiians and Francisco. The opportunity is open in the production of the finer types and strains of cut flowers, ferns, greenhouse plants and ornamentals, as in the case of vegetables of improved types. "Besides the opportunities for florists, there are openings for the establishment of nurseries to supply fruit, Shade and forest trees. There., is no commercial nursery and no local seed house in this territory. ' ' WOOD PRESERVATION, ■ What W'oo^ Preservation Means. The cost of wood is today a big item to everyone who must use timber where it is likely to decay. How to reduce the expense of timbers which must constantly be replaced has become a vital problem. The kinds of timber used in contact with the soil are becoming scarcer and scarcer and their prices higher and. higher... Long misuse of the forest has brought its sure result. Even with the most eflScient management it would be a long time before the supply of the best timbers would increase in quantity or decrease in price. There are two ways in which the sit- uation may be met. One is to prolong the life of the forest by wise use; the other is to prolong the life of timbers in service by treating them with some pre- servative. It is easy to see that if the length of time timbers can be used is doubled, only half as much timber will be required as before and only one-half as much money will need to be spent in the purchase of timber. This is the chief gain in treat- ing wood with preservatives. Yet there is another and important one. Many woods, which for a long time were con- Annual Pink Lupine, Photographed Christmas, 1907. Japanese. Carnations, violets and asters flower almost continuously, especially at elevations above 1,000 feet. /The Hono- lulu market is well supplied with flow- ers, such as they are, but a number of florists find it profitable to bring con- siderable quantities of the finer classes of cut flowers in cold storage from San sidered almost worthless, can be treated and made to last as long as the scarcer and more expensive kinds. This of course means that the consumer will have the choice of a much greater number of woods than he had before and at less cost. Wood preservation, then, prolongs the life of timbers in use, reduces their cost, and gives to the user a wider choice of woods than ever before. Methods of preservation must be varied for different localities and different kinds of wood, and the U. S. Forest Service has issued several publications which deal with the problems presented in different regions. These publications and detailed information can be had upon application to the Forester, at Washington, What Decay Is. The' decay of a plant body, such as wood, is not an inorganic process like the rusting of iron or the crumbling of stone, but is due to the activities of low forms of plant life called bacteria and fungL Bacteria are among the simplest of all forms of life, often consisting of but a single cell, microscopic in size. Sometimes several such cells may be at- tached to each other, -and. so form a thread or filament. Csually they are colorless, and multiply by the division of the parent cell into other cells, which, in turn, divide again. Fungi, although much more compli- cated than bacteria, are also low in the scale of creation when compared with familiar flowering plants and shrubs. They consist merely of tiny threads or hyphse, which are collectively known as the mycelium. In many of the higher forms of fungi the threads grow together to form compact masses of tissue. Fa- miliar examples of these forms are the toadstools, which grow on damp, rotting logs, and the "punks," or "brackets," on the trunks of trees in the forest. The causes of decay in wood, however, are not these fruiting bodies themselves. Spores, very primitive substitutes for seed, which are borne in the countless compartments into which the under sur- faces of the fruiting bodies are some- times divided, are produced in infinite number, and are so fine that they can be distinguished only by the microscope. When seen in bulk they appear as the finest dust. Like dust, they are carried by the wind and strike all portions of the surrounding objects. Few species of fungi successfully attack healthy living trees, and only a comparatively small number can attack and destroy wood. Yet the spores of some find a lodging in dead portions of a tree or in cut timber, and, if the wood is moist and in the right condition for the spore to grow, it germinates and sends out a thin, film- like white thread, which, by repeated branching, penetrates the entire Structure of the wood. These are the real agents of decay. This is not the only way that a fungus can enter a sound stick of timber; for if a good stick is lying close to a rotting one, the mycelium may grow over or through the moist ground and so reach the sound stick, which it immediately at- tacks. Sometimes, too, when a tree is cut it already has a fungus growing in its wood. If the fungus happens to be a true parasite — that is, if it can grow only in living tissues — it will die when the tree is felled; but if it has been ac- customed to growing in the heartwood of the tree, which is practically dead, it may continue to live and develop even after the tree has been sawed into tim- ber. Wood is composed of minute cells. The chief material of the cell-walls is a sub- stance called cellulose, and around this there are incrusted many different or- ganic substances known collectively as lignin. Most of the wood-destroying fungi attack only the lignin; others at- June 11, 1908. The Weekly Rorists' Review. u tack the cellulose alone, while a third class destroy all parts of the wood struc- ture. The lignin and the cellulose are dissolved by certain substances secreted in the fungi, and thus serve as food for the fungus growth. In this way the fungi can develop until they extend throughout every portion of the timber. After a time the amount of fiber changed into food and assimilated by the fungus causes the wood to become discolored. Discoloration may also be produced by pigments in the fungus or secreted by it. Finally so much of the wood fiber is eaten away or changed in composition that its istrength is greatly diminished, the texture becomes brittle and discon- nected, and the wood ia said to be "rot- ten." But food is not the only thing that a fungus requires for its growth and devel- opment. It must also have heat, air and moisture. If any one of these is lacking the fungus can not develop. The neces- sary heat is supplied by almost every cli- mate, and it is only in rare cases, as under water or deep under the surface of the ground, that air can be excluded from the timber. Of the four require- ments, therefore, two are beyond control. It is only by depriving the fungi of food or moisture that the destruction they cause can be prevented. GREIVELDING'S STOCK. N. Greivelding, of Merrill, Wis., sends the photograph from which the accom- panying illustration is prepared, with the following note: "I send you under separate cover a picture of the new Hydrangea arbores- cens grandiflora alba, because I read in the paper some time ago that some flo- rist wanted to know if they could be had in bloom for Decoration day. This pic- ture was taken May 28, and behind the hydrangea are white dahlias, and the plants hanging down are Fuchsia Trail- ing Green." OBITUARY. Robert B. Graves. Robert B. Graves, 88 years of age, the well-known florist, died June 6, at Northampton, Mass., after a short ill- ness, from old age. Mr. Graves was born April 2, 1820, on the old Clark place near where the Norwood hotel is now located and his long life has been spent in Bridge street, Northampton. Nearly seventy-five years ago he moved to his present home. He married Miss Maria D. "Wright, of Huntington, and they celebrated their golden wedding a few years ago. Besides his wife, he leaves two sons, Augustus B. and Irving R. Graves, of Northampton, and one daughter, Mrs. Charles Edwards, of Tor- rington. Conn. The death of Mr. Graves removes one of the oldest residents of the city. He had been a familiar per- sonage upon the streets for many years and until recently had been able to go to Main street every day. The funeral was held at the house, 421 Bridge street, Sunday afternoon, June 7, and was pri- vate. J. Owen Hanvey. J. Owen Hanvey, of Lynchburg, Va., died May 26 and was buried at Lees- burg May 28, there being a large floral display at the obsequies. Mr. Hanvey was a druggist, but he had a floral de- partment and did a large business in cut flowers and designs and was widely known to the trade in his section of the Greenhouse of N. Greivelding, Merrillt Wis. country. A brother will continue the business. James ShanUy. The death of James Shanley, Brook- lyn, N. Y., is reported. He was one of the oldest and most highly esteemed members of the profession in the city of churches. George Frederick Chandler. George Frederick Chandler died at his home in South Lancaster, Mass., May 30, after several years of failing health and waning strength. Mr. Chandler was the son of Nathan- iel Chandler and was born in Petersham in 1882. When 6 years of age, in 1828, with his father's family 'he removed to Lancaster and had resided there during all his subsequent life of 80 years. His first residence was in the so-called Ware house, north of his second residence, in which he lived most of his life, and where he died. His father passed away in 1852. On September 22, 1847, he mar- ried Miss Susan Elizabeth Buss, who died April 6, 1902. Since 1843 he had followed the occupation of a florist, com- mencing the business "when there was no other engaged in that line of work in the vicinity. He was one of the two surviving members of the original Lan- caster Odd Fellows' lodge and had held the office of Noble Grand of the lodge. Three brothers and two sisters have preceded the deceased into the other world: Samuel Ward Chandler, who died in Philadelphia; Charles Chandler, who died in New Bradford, and John C. Chandler of Lancaster; Catherine, the wife of Prof. Theophilus Parsons of Cambridge, and Mary G., the widow of Dr. John Ware of Boston, who long lived in the old Nathaniel Chandler house and died but a few years since. Four children survive: Elizabeth H., Marion W., Mrs. Caroline C. Avery, and Frederick Lincoln Chandler, all residing in Lancaster. In Mr. Chandler's death, Lancaster loses another of her long-time residents and esteemed citizens. He had a wide acquaintance in the vicinity and many friends regret his passing on. Negaunee, Mich. — Work will be begun soon on the greenhouses which are to be erected by the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Co. on the plat south of the Union* depot. Wheeling, W. Va. — All the florists in this part of the country sold up close for Decoration day. The demand steadily increases and many vegetable forcers and market gardeners are turning their attention to plants and flowers. ■A .

Is THERE any incongriHty in ' ' Bequies- eat in Pace" over the door of a mau- soleum and a life size horse in flowers in front of it? A FI.ORIST at Oklahoma City says Dec- oration day business was three times as heavy as last year — and it wasn't bad anjrwhere in 1907. The legislative committee of the S. A. F. will shortly become a most important one, for both political parties are pledged to revise the tariff. Bedding stock has sold well this sea- son. Almost all localities report the supply as being practically cleaned up, and where there is a surplus it is going out rapidly to those who are short. Among the plants allied to the hibiscus and especially worthy of trial is Lavatera trimestris, a very free flowering annual, with pink and white blossoms which are fine for bouquets. Callirhoes are small native plants, with showy orange or red flowers. C. involucrata is the best known, having large crimson flowers, dwarf and spreading in habit. It flowers all summer. C. W. Ward says that the replacing of the old, narrow houses at the Cottage Gardens with high, light, airy structures forty-five feet wide, as was done last sea- son, has been fully justified by the sea- son's results. As compared with the same space in the old houses, the out has been double from the very beginning of the season. SOOETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Reduced Rates for the O)nvention. The Trunk Line Association, covering points in the states of New York, Penn- sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary- land and part of Virginia and West Vir- ginia, has granted a rate of one fare and three-fifths for the round trip on the certificate plan to those desiring to at- tend the convention. Other associations have not as yet granted any concessions. Other particulars will be announced later. W. N. Rudd, Sec 'y. STILL BETTER.

C. — The weather bu- reau issued its forecast for the week June 9, as follows: "A barometric depression that will appear over the Rocky mountain districts on Wednesday will move slowly eastward over the plains states on Thursday, cross the central valleys on Friday and Sat- urday and reach the Atlantic coast on Saturday or Sunday. Local rains and a slight rise in temperature will attend the advance of the rain area, and follow- ing its passage there will be a day or two, the beginning of next week, of lower temperature from the north cen- tral valleys to the middle and north At- lantic coast." CHICAGO. The Great Central Market Intense heat June 7 and 8 did a great deal of injury to stock and shut off a large part of the demand for it. During the week preceding there had been abun- dant supplies, but the weather was cool and stock of fair quality, but with the hot days there came an avalanche of open, soft flowers for which no use could be found. Few carnations will ship in such weather and a large part of the roses are too open to be valuable to the retail florists. The week opened with a good demand for the seasonable specialties. Com- mencements are on throughout the coun- try and there is the usual call for ma- terial for wedding decorations. Valley has been one of the best selling items. The shipping business has been a large factor, but it has not called for many peonies as yet; there seems everywhere to be a local supply, but this will soon be over in all save the northern districts. Sweet peas have sold in large quantities, but the demand has been exclusively for the best, and the poor stock, of which there are many thousands, sells slowly. The indoor peas are rapidly nearing the end of their season. There is call for first-class roses, but these are hard to supply. Richmond is in good form and Killarney also in fair shape. With Kaiserin, these are at pres- ent the best selling varieties. Short roses have little value. There is a fair demand for Beauties, but these also are abundant, especially the long-stemmed ones, and prices are down to midsummer level, with stock of good quality. The receipts of carnations at the first of this week were about at the top notch, with quality at the lowest. These and open roses could not be cleaned up, even at fhe street salesman's figure. He would only take the best, even when permitted to name the price, and the waste has been large. Many growers already are beginning to throw out their stock preparatory to replanting, it no longer paying to run the houses. The hot weather made the peonies pop open so fast that the duration of the local crop was shortened considerably. The market is full of open flowers, which V June 11, 1908.

The result is that this grade has little value, for only a portion can be sold. It ap- pears that not so many peonies are be- ing stored this year as last. It has not always proved a profitable specula- tion and this year the condition of the stocl^ is less favorable than usual. If peonies cannot be cut and put into the cold rooms ia the right stage, the stock is not worth storage charges when it comes out. Not only is a great deal of the stock poor this season, but the buds are opening so fast they cannot be cut until too far developed, and the own- ers will not take chances on storing. There may be in this a prospect for better prices for the really good peonies, and for other good flowers for the bal- ance of the month. A number of the wholesale houses are loaded up with Easter lilies and prices are low, if a quantity can be used. Sev- eral growers have crops just in and there will be lilies in plenty for some weeks. The growers of greens had a poor May,* partly because the spring opening decorations were not as elaborate as usual. They are, however, getting a bet- ter return for June; the weddings and commencements are calling for large quantities of smilax and asparagus. All greens are abundant and unlimited quan- tities can be supplied if twenty-four hours' notice is given. New ferns are arriving, while there are yet quantities of last year's crop. Qub Meeting:. The monthly meeting of the Florists' Club was held at the Union restaurant on the evening of June 4, with a better attendance than at any so far held there. It was decided to hold the annual picnic July 19 at Morton Grove. George As- raus and T. E. Waters are the active managers. It was reported that the de- tails of closing up the purchase of the property at Joliet, selected by Mrs. Harts- horne, had been completed. Word was brought of the serious condition of A. I. Simmons, who has been ill for nearly a year and who is now in a sanitarium. There were several members present who had not attended a meeting in a long time and these; with some of the new recruits, held the floor during the recess for refreshments. The adjournment was until the first Thursday evening in September. Various Notes. John Evert, at Rogers Park, still has cucumbers in part of his houses, for the cucumber market continues satisfactory. Lettuce growers, however, are finding the market as overstocked and as dull as are the carnation growers. Mr. Evert is planting his houses with mums as fast as the vegetables are cleared out, and a large number of vegetable growers north of town are following his ex- ample. N. C. Moore & Co. are bending all energies this week to cutting their peonies. The tight stock is going into cold storage. Bassett & Washburn say that June thus far has been an excellent month with them and the orders booked for this week were heavier than were shipped last week. Kennicott Bros. Co. received auratum lilies June 6. When auratums become an item of stock, summer is surely not far away. C. W. McKellar says there is a good demand for cattleyas. Mendellii is in good crop just now, but other vari- eties are somewhat scarce. One wholesaler dumped over 200,000 cape jasmine buds June 8, and confesses to being nearly $300 out on express charges. Peter Reinberg had the largest day's cut in his history June 8. It took two Warning"! All buyers of Wire Work should beware of the man who tells you he can " do better than Kandall" on your orders.

Co. says the shipping trade is good, but local business light. The shipping trade invariably calls for the best stock to be had. Scheiden & Schoos are reported to be practically discarding Enchantress this season. There can be no doubt that bet- ter results would have been had all around if fewer Enchantress and more of the good sorts in other colors had been grown last season. J. A. Budlong did a big business last week with the Peterson peonies, and also this week, although at much reduced prices, because of the big increase in supply when the hot days came.

He has several growers of this specialty and has sold as much as $80 for one man in one day. W, H. Hilton expects to go to Colo- rado ahout the end of June to spend the summer. In last week 's Review there was a note under the Pittsburg heading of special interest to Chicago. It read: "Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Ludwig have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Lena Ludwig, to Victor F. Bergman, of Chicago. The engagement will ter- minate in a June wedding." Mr, Berg- man is one of E. Wienhoeber's right hand men. At Klehm 's Nurseries work is under high pressure this week. This is one of the places where the handling of peonies is thoroughly understood. The heat has made rapid work necessary. At present the stock is being divided be- tween Kennicott Bros. Co., Percy Jones, and cold storage. N. J. "Wietor says that the most im- portant thing the craft can undertake Is to get the use of flowers sanctioned at the local school closings. There is no question but that the ban placed on flowers a few years ago has cost the trade many thousands of dollars each June. E. H. Hunt reports that the violet sea- son closed this year May 25, which is several weeks earlier than last year. The A. L. Randall Co. says the call for such stock as can be used for wed- dings and school work is good, but that it is diflicult to clean up on the grades of material that won't ship. Vaughan & Sperry say that the in- creased demand for bone indicates that the growers generally are replanting earlier this year than usual. Among the week's visitors were A. L. Glazer, Dubuque, la.; E, H. Hitchcock, Glenwood, Mich.; Will Graflf, Columbus, O., on his way to West Baden; A. E. Kunderd, Fort Wayne, Ind.; J. A. Ev- ans., Richmond, Ind. Chenoa, III. — The business of H. W. Jontry has been reorganized and is now conducted by M. C. Jontry and J. F. Jontry, under the name of Jontry Bros. They say that business was good during the last season and everything was clean- ed out at Decoration dav. NEVYOOK. ThtMukeL This week opened with a hot wave which was entirely unnecessary, as the cut flower market was in a wilted con- dition already and the burden of exces- sive shipments is more than it can well carry. There is no let-up in the supply of anyt,hing but white orchids. They are in demand for the weddings, which average dozens daily in New York and Brooklyn. Price was no object Monday. A prominent retailer on Broadway of- fered several times the quoted rate, but not a flower was obtainable. The re- tailers are surely busy. With flowers so reasonable there is every excuse for liberal and elaborate work, and in some cases there is no limit put upon the cost. Warendorff utilized immense quantities of white peonies and field daisies at the wedding in Grace church June 10. Never were peonies so abundant nor so low in price. Immense lots were selling Mon- day as low as $20 per thousand, and this value included the leading varieties.

In thousand lots, after a day of residence here, they got as low as 25 cents per hundred. The street men offer them at 10 cents a dozen. If it were not for this outlet, they would dam the river of business completely. Even the best of the novelties do not go above $2 per hundred, and novelties are few. The regular price for the selected stock is $1 per hundred and even this, in thousand lots, has been cleaned out at $5 a thousand. Hanig, of Brooklyn, had two wagon-loads of flowers Monday. Several of the Brooklyn florists deal in similar quantities, and John Weir can be depended on by the city of churches to keep it sweet every day in the year. Lilies are still abundant and prices have not yet advanced above the low ebb ♦ hat prevailed after Easter. Valley has (idvjinced, thanks to the bride's bouquet, and the finest grade has been selling at $3 per hundred. Gladioli are here, too, and the supply will grow daily in volume from now on. . Lilac haa passed and the sweet pea flood has narrowed to a rivu- let. The lethargy of 90 degrees is over all. Qub Meeting. An excellent attendance signalized the final meeting of the Florists' Club for the season. The transportation commit- tee recommended the selection of the D., L. & W. R. R. as the most desirable road for the conventionists. A special train is provided for, if an attendance of 100 is guaranteed. The train will leave at 10 a. m. Monday, August 17, and reach Niagara Falls at 9 p. m. The fare, including return ticket, will be $11.57. Two meals will be served on the way. The outing committee distributed its program and tickets and reported most satisfactory progress; $262 worth of ad- vertising and $256.50 in prizes already indicate a great success. Will Rickards was accorded the thanks Enclosed you will find $1.00 for the renewal of as I wotild not do without it at any price, it being a clean and up-to-date paper, and gives a world of informa- tion on all work pertaining to our line.

The gentlemen proposed at the last meeting of the club were elected and John J. Coan was proposed for member- ship. Fifty dollars was placed at the service of the transportation committee for cur- rent expenses and refreshments on the way to Niagara. Messrs. O'Mara, Traendly and But- terfield were appointed a committee to draw up resolutions on the death of the mother of Secretary Young. Later these were presented and were a beautiful tribute to the character and lovableness of the esteemed lady. Messrs. O'Mara, Stewart and Traendly were the committee appointed to draw up the resolutions on the death of Wil- liam Scott, of Buffalo. These made feel- ing reference to the universal love that was his heritage and the incalculable value his work has been to floriculture. The death of James Shanley, of Brook- lyn, was announced. He was one of the club's oldest and most valued members and great regret because of his loss was expressed by all, Messrs. Sheridan, Don- aldson and Burney were appointed a committee to draw up suitable resolu- tions. A vase of Festiva Maxima peony, ex- hibited by Alex. E. Hogg, of Brooklyn, received the thanks of the club. Harry Turner, gardener to Howard Gould, made a novel and meritorious display of Mal- maison carnations, the light pink. Calyp- so, and the deep pink, Mrs. Trelawney. These varieties were imported two years ago by Mrs. Turner and have never be- fore been on exhibition. The exhibit well merited the cultural certificate. The final delight of the evening was a lecture by George V, Nash on "Orna- mental Shrubs," illustrated by colored stereopticon views. An interesting dis- cussion followed Mr. Nash's lecture.

The outing of the Plant Growers' As- sociation, June 25, will whet the appe- tites of the Florists' Club members, many of whom are members of both or- ganizations, for the club's outing, July 1, by Steamer Isabel to Witzel's grove on the sound. Arrangements for this are now complete, the program showing nearly $500 in prizes and advertisements. Bowling, baseball, the children's races and dancing, with an evening sail on the sound, should furnish a day of rare enjoyment. W. G. Badgley, of Chatham, N. J., has purchased a half interest in the Wilson Plant Oil Co. and arrangements have been made for the manufacture of this popular insecticide in larger quan- tities. W. E. Marshall has just returned from a successful eastern trip. John King Duer is spending his vaca- tion with friends at one of the Jersey resorts. J. J. Coan, the manager of hig uniquely decorated store on Madison avenue, has a fine summer garden laid out in the court and is making many changes in the store and its conveniences, after what he says has been a satisfac- tory year. Myer, at Madison avenue and Fifty- eighth street, illustrates the value of original window eflfects. He has a fine assortment of turtles, alligators, ducks, frogs and goldfish, with fountain effects and country groupings that draw good crowds every evening. The joint exhibition of the American Rose Society and the Horticultural So- ciety of New York began Wednesday, June 10, at Bronx park in the Museum building. The attendance promises to be large, the exhibits numerous, and the address of W. C. Barry, of Rochester, will surely be of interest to all. The exhibition will continue until Thursday evening. June 23 will close the auction season and a big trade sale is announced by W. Elliott & Sons that day at 42 Vesey street, their new store. John Krai, who is Moore, Hentz & Nash 's lieutenant, is on deck again after his long hospital siege. The craft in the Coogan building gave him a hearty re- ception. Bobby Schultz is in the market as a traveling representative of any horticul- tural house that wants a hustler, having rented his rose plant at Madison, Alex, McConnell is enjoying a two weeks' outing at one of the restful coun- try resorts in Connecticut. David Clarke's Sons are busy in upper Broadway, with weddings, frequently decorating for half a dozen in a day. Masur, in Brooklyn, has had several fine wedding decorations since Easter. His aster farm at Rahway, where he makes the summer home of his family, will soon be heard from. R. G, Wilson, the new president of the Brooklyn Retailers' Association, speaks hopefully of the success of the so- ciety and thinks it will soon total 100 members. With his fine, modern green- house establishment on Green avenue, and his beautiful store on Fulton street, he is well equipped for the large crop of weddings he reports.

Austin Shaw and the groom a member of the editorial staflf of the New York Herald, The Wertheimer Bros, baseball team defeated the strong team of' Smith & Kaufman June 6, at Bronx field, by the score of 9 to 7. The game was very ex- citing and undecided until the last man •was put out. The features were the heavy hitting of Cloughley and M. Cohen and the fine work behind the bat of Hano. The victors have issued a chal- lenge to any team in the silk trade and are prepared to meet all comers. Plant Growers* Outing. The New York and New Jersey Asso- ciation of Plant Growers held an im- portant meeting at the Hotel St. Denis, Broadway and Eleventh street, New York city, June 2, at which a large gather- ing was present. The committee which was appointed at the last meeting to arrange for an out- ing of the association, and which con- sisted of A. L. Miller, Herman C. Stein- hoflf, Herman Schoelzel and John Scott, made its report. The association will give its outing June 25, at Terra Ma- rine Inn, Huguenot Park, Staten Island, and tfie members will meet at the Staten Island ferry, foot of Whitehall street. New York city, at 10:30 a. m. on that day and then proceed by boat, train and automobile to the place of the outing. The committee has made full arrange- ments for plenty to eat and drink, music, dancing, games, races, bowling and other sports and pastimes, and it is evident that the association intends to have a day's fun. In order to evade the per- sonal tax on its capital, which has rap- idly increased since its incorporation, the association has decided to furnish each of its members with tickets to its outing gratis. It is expected that all members, with their families and friends, will attend and thoroughly enjoy them- selves. W. H. SiEBEECHT, Jr., Sec'y. June 3.

The Market The wholesale market seems to have fallen back into its old rut, and things were quiet and stock plentiful last week. There was nothing of any note going on among the leading retailers — a few wed- dings and other social work, but nothing large. Funeral work is about the only thing that kept them going. This week comes the closing of the large schools, and a good business is looked for. With these generally ends the season and so- ciety will be looking for cooler places. The stock is now largely of roses, but poor in quality. Carnations are still good, but the bulk is becoming small. The price for the best does not run over $2 per hundred. Extra fine valley is in the market, and large quantities of sweet peas, but not of the best quality. Plenty of candidum lilies are being sent in, with fair sales. The rest of the stock is made up of a lot of outdoor truck which does not bring much at any time. Peonies from cold storage are still coming in. Greens of all kinds are plentiful. Various Notes. Quite a delegation of nurserymen will leave here this week to attend the thirty- third annual convention of the American Association of Nurserymen at Milwau- kee. This delegation will be under the watchful eye of Frank Weber, who is known in the Florists' Club as one of the hustlers. The local seedsmen are making prepa- rations for a large delegation to attend the annual convention of the American June 11. 1908.

Schisler, of the Schisler-Corneli Seed Co., are among the workers for a large attendance. The early-closing movement will again be taken up by our wholesalers, the same as last year, during the months of July and August, to close the first five days of the week at 5 p. m. and Saturdays at noon. Last year this was much appreciated by the employees. Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Weber and their daughter, Adele, in company with the Misses Meinhardt, will leave the lat- ter part of this month for a month's trip west, visiting Yellowstone park and other points of interest. This is purely a pleasure trip after a good business season. The Egyptian Hustlers' meeting, held the last week at Belleville, made things quite interesting for the florists in that city. The floral parade Friday was one of the features. E. W. Guy, St. Clair Floral Co., Henry Emunds, Adolph Fehr and G. Grossart had their hands full all week, supplying the hustlers with flowers. The many friends of Robert J. Win- dier were glad to see him among the buyers in the wholesale district, look- ing so well after his illness. He says the store was well taken care of in his absence. The State Board of Agriculture held a three days' session last week at Moun- tain Grove, Mo. The following officers were elected: President. W. P. Stark; first vice-president, R. L. Hitt; second vice-president, J, J. Chastin; treasurer, T. H. Todd, and secretary, L. C, Howard, of Columbia, Mo. A. J. Bentzen, of the Bentzen Floral Co., reports that they have the order to furnish the bouquets and decorations for the Yeatman High school, which will be on a larger scale than last year. The executive committee of the Ameri- can Apple Growers' Congress met Fri- day, ^ne 5, at the Southern hotel and arranged for a program for the sixth annual convention. The convention meets here during the month of August. Sen- ator H. M. Dunlap, of Savoy, 111.; T. H. Todd, of New Franklin, Mo.; W. R. Wilkinson, T. C. Wilson, and Prof. H. C. Irish, of St. Louis, attended the meeting of the board. Messrs. Schoenle, Smith and Beyer spent a day looking up grounds for the Florists' Club picnic. They selected Normandi park. The date will be Wednesday, July 15. The suburban car line runs to the gate of this park. The conditions are much better than the place last year — fine ball grounds, bowl- ing alleys, dancing hall, plenty of shelter for all. The grounds will be exclusively for the florists and their friends. The exclusive part will be one of the features this year which the members have never enjoyed at former outings. The trustees are now at work preparing a program which will be made attractive for all. A good band will also be one of the features this year. The members can look forward to the best outing the club has yet held. As per the will of the late Henry Shaw, his garden is open to the public on Sun-- 20 The Weekly Florists' Review^ June 11, 1908.

Mention The Review when you write. Reliable Flower Seeds PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market. The June Girl (apt phrase coined by ihe great Sam) has made a decided im- pression on the cut flower market. In her honor mother, father, sister, brother and friends, both feminine and mascu- line, have vied with each other in gath- ering the choicest floral offerings to win her smile. Weddings and commencements have succeeded each other with a rapidity that gave the florists in our fashionable shops scarcely time to breathe. Ogontz and Bryn Mawr have been succeeded, though not outshone, by a host of smaller commencements, and the w-eddings, both ultra- fashionable and quiet, have been too numerous to mention. Th^ result on the market was grati- fying insofar as choice cut flowers were concerned. Sweet peas of quality had a tremendous run. Some days they were almost unobtainable, but the supply is gradually increasing, and the demand di- minishing. Prices, which were unusually high for the first ten days of June, are now receding steadily. Beauties have shortened considerably, and prices are advancing for any stock worthy of the name. Valley is fine, and has been in heavy demand. Cattleyas are slightly diminished in quantity. The quality is excellent, the demand quite good. Kaiserin is in strong supply, and sells fairly well.

Liberty is good, but Richmond is falling off badly, ex- cept in rare instances. It is estimated that nearly nine-tenths of the carnations coming into the mar- ket are practically worthless. They are too soft when received in the wholesale houses to be offered to the shops, and can only be fakered off at absurd prices when opportunity offers, which is not always. Lilium Harrisii is to be had, but sells slowly. Lilium candidum has made its appearance. Peonies are decreasing in quantity, though still fine. Lemoine realized top prices last week. There is not nearly so much disposition to put peonies in cold storage this season as in former years. The diflSculty seems to lie in getting the buds into cold storage in the proper stage of development. If they are too far advanced when put away, they are use- less on being taken out. Dagger ferns are selling at absurdly low prices, market figures being main- tained only by choice stock. Long strings of Asparagus plumosus have been in fair demand. Smilax is in good supply; the price has fallen slightly. Indoor sweet peas and gardenias are nearly over. Thejre have been some excellent ship- ping orders, especially for Beauties and valley. The Rose Show. The June rose show of the German- town Horticultural Society was largely attended. N. Dubois Miller presided, in the absence of President Heyl. The exhibition of roses, strawberries and sweet peas was large and attractive. John F. Sibson, gardener to Mrs. Thomas McKean, captured first on outdoor roses. Jdnb 11, 1908.

Mr. Sibson attributed bis success as much to his exhibit being properly staged and labeled as to its quality, some of his competitors getting badly tangled in both respects. One exhibitor, believing that "the more the merrier," had an im- mense exhibit of medium quality blooms, all mixed up together. The stern judges promptly disqualified this exhibit. S. Mendelson Meehan's resignation from the executive committee, owing to his appointment on the Poor Board, was accepted with regret. James T. Scott, in his address advocating the accept- ance, said that the society could only lend Mr. Meehan to the Poor Board, and must have him back later. Secretary Bedles said that to Mr. Meehan the so- ciety was indebted for the suggestion of an executive committee, which had been the making of the society. The G>-operation Paper. Much comment is heard on the street, both from retailers and wholesalers, con- cerning the paper read by Arthur A. Niessen at the June meeting of the Flo- rists' Club on "Cooperation Between Retailer and Wholesaler." (You see, I do not dare add, "in times of over- production.") Samuel S. Pennock, in discussing Mr. Niessen 's paper, said that he believes that if the retailers would educate their customers to the idea that at certain times flowers can be had at low prices, they would greatly increase their sales. He heartily commended Mr. Niessen 's illustration of strawberries, saying that the public understands per- fectly that strawberries can only be had at certain times at low prices, and that at those times they buy freely, not ex- pecting to receive their berries for the same money early or late in the season. Mr. Pennock said he feels that the mar- ket has become too large for the retail- ers to buy carnations, for instance, at $1 per hundred and sell them at 75 cents per dozen, when there is overproduction, and that, were they to give this matter serious consideration, they would greatly increase their own profits and the gen- eral welfare by adopting special sales at certain times, or some measures of that nature, to move the surplus. The general feeling on the street is THE Florists' Supply House of America ANNOUNCEMENT OF SPECIAL OFFER We offer, during the month of June only, the following: Special prices on our Superior Wheat Sheaves: In dozen lots, less 15% discount from list price.

Various Notes. John W. Mclntyre, Jr., made his first plunge into the wholesale sea on Monday. Edward Reid is particularly pleased with the fine quality of the American Beauty roses that he is now receiving from his growers. The vaudeville and smoker arranged by the entertainment committee of the Florists' Club for the June meeting was greatly enjoyed by a large attendance of members. "William Robertson, gardener to John W. Pepper, Jenkintown, Pa., should have been credited with a splendid collection of hardy outdoor roses shown at the rose 22 The Weekly Florists' Review^ June 11, 1908. ** S^ 48=50 Wabash Avenue CHICAGO PEONIES $3.00 to $5.00 per 100 All other Cut Flowers in Season Mention The Review when you write. meeting of the Pennsylvania Horticul- tural Society last week. Mr. Robertson 's flowers were fine and borne on unusually long stems.

La*t week was a busy one. Shipping business, especially, was good and the first part of the week was satisfactory. But on Friday and Saturday, even though the demand was good, the supply was far too great and some stock was left over. Altogether everyone seems satisfied. Some local grown peonies, which are of a good quality, came in the first part of the week. Several large wedding decorations, in- cluding one by M. A. McKenney & Co., at Appleton, Wis., and one executed by J. M. Fox, helped to relieve the over- supply to some extent. Qub Meetxn£. The club meeting, June 4, brought out a good number, especially growers. The subject of the evening was taken up by Fred Lautenschlager, of the Kroescheil Bros. Co., Chicago, who gave an inter- esting talk on heating by hot water. It seems that the committee which was appointed by President Holton, of the local club, to cooperate with the State Board of Agriculture in the bedding work at the state fair park, cannot agree, as no report was forthcoming. Now, it is hoped the gentlemen will not make a fizzle of this affair, but try their best in behalf of the Florists' Club. There is plenty of space for beds, and any professional florist desiring to enter will receive a premium list and entry blank by addressing John M. True, secretary, Madison, Wis. When all beds are plant- ed, the Florists' Club expects to select a person to look after them, whose fee will be carried by said exhibitors, unless otherwise desired. The treasurer's report proved that the club is in a thriving condition. All present arose from their seats to honor the memory of our late brother and friend, William Scott. He undoubt- edly did more for the average florist by his writings in the Review in recent years than any other person, and his work was not left unappreciated. Vaiioos Notes. Quite a delegation of Chicago florists came up on the special train to witness the great Ketchel-Papke fight and help swell the attendance to 4,500, which was the number reported next day. Their stay was brief, the train arriving at 8 p. m. and returning five hours later. The Holton & Hunkel Co. is handling some fine Aristocrat and White Perfec- tion carnations. The C. C. Pollworth Co. 's rose houses are just coming into crop and the qual- ity is fine. Nic Zweifel, of North Milwaukee, and the C. C. Pollworth Co. are experiment- ing with growing carnations under glass instead of putting into the field, and to this end have several benches planted at this time.

Worcester, Mass. — Memorial day trade was heavier here this year than ever before, according to the testimony of a majority of the florists. The strength and endurance of everyone in the business were taxed to the utmost in the effort to supply orders, and many of the forces worked two nights without sleep. It is stated that even the Easter trade was greatly exceeded by this Decoration day rush. The amount of work was increased, and the resultant profits somewhat decreased, by the ex- cessive heat, which caused the flowers to wilt quickly in spite of every effort to keep them fresh.

Coun- ter trade in seeds has practically ceased and there is little doing in plants. In the growing department, condi- tions are more favorable than a week ago. The weather has been good and planting and growth generally satisfac- tory, although great heat has done some damage to special crops. Those seeds- men who are away on crop inspection tours are sending home favorable re- ports except as to sweet peas in Califor- nia and some reduction of acreages which will affect the supply of other seeds even with fair yields.

CANNERS'PEAS. Advices from Baltimore indicate that there is likely to be a decided shortage in the pea pack from the estimates based on the large acreage set out this year. According to some reports Maryland can- ners cannot expect to make over twenty per cent of a normal pack, but other es- timates run higher. In Delaware large packers believe that they will get about seventy-five per cent of last year's out- 8.M.ISBELL&CO. JACKSON, MICH.

The recent hot spell caused a rapid development, which the subsequent rains and the cool weather have retarded. Receipts at Baltimore have shown a decided falling off and most of the raw stock is fit only to be made into seconds. Some reports say that the shortage will be confined mainly to the sifted and finer grades. This is interesting to the seed trade, because a short pack will mean another year of very high prices for seed peas of the canning varieties, for every season that the market is well cleaned up the canners each put out as large an acreage as possible. SOME NOVELTIES IN CANNAS. One of our very best canna novelties up till now is, no doubt, the Mme. Mar- guerite MUhle.

The large, lightly crested flowers show a lovely cherry pink color and stand — on long stems from three to four feet high — well above the foliage, which is quite green and only shows a narrow red margin.

Among the distinct points in its favor is the fact that even the hardest sunshine does not alter or bleach the color of the flowers, and another advantage is the easy way in which this variety can be propagated.

Enormous yields of wheat and oats are indicated by the government's report of general conditions on June 1, which ■was made public June 8. The prospects are for much better results than those obtained last year, the outturn of oats promising to be a record breaker. De- spite reports of damage to ripening win- ter wheat, the condition of the plant is better than even the most sanguine had expected, and the situation in spring wheat territory borders on the ideal. The statement indicated a condition of winter wheat of 86, a loss of 3 points from the May 1 showing, but compared to only 77.4 June 1, 1907, 82.7 June 1, 1906, 85.5 June 1, 1905, and a ten-year average of 81.1, which, using the popu- lar basis of computation and the May 1 area of 29,744,000 acres, promises a yield of 444,000,000 bushels. The condition of spring \*eat is given as 95, with a sown area of 17,710,000 acres, or 631,000 acres greater than the sown area June 1, 1907. The crop in sight in the northwest is 290,000,000 bushels, the total for the nation being approximately 734,000,000 bushels, or about 100,000,000 bushels more than the total crop harvested last year. Harvesting already is under , way in the southwest, the reports indicating sat- isfactory results in Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. The general average condition of oats is given as 92.9, compared to only 81.6 June 1, 1907. The condition in 1905 also was 92.9. Using the sown area — 31,644,000 acres — and the popular basis of computation, a yield of approximately 1,056,000,000 bushels is indicated. This is the largest prospective yield in the history of the nation. The June 1 condition of the rye crop was 91.3, with an indicated yield of 31,000,000 bushels, against an outturn of 31,556,000 bushels in 1907, when June 1 the condition was 88.1. The area of the barley crop is given as 6,697,000 acres, with a condition of 89,7, against 84.9 June 1, 1907, and an indicated crop of 178,000,000 bushels, against a yield of 153,597,000 bushels last year, when the area was 6,153,000 acres. The con- dition 6f hay was 96.8, much better than that of last year. CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATIVE ACT.

PENNY POST WITH ENGLAND. Postmaster General Meyer announced June 4 that an agreement had been reached with the British government pro- viding for a letter postage of 2 cents an ounce between the United States and Great Britain and Ireland, to become ef- fective October 1, 1908. The matter of "penny postage," as it Cutworms Millipedes, Eelworms, A&ts, Beetles, Woodlice, Slugs, and all kinds of bugs in the soil Killed Vaporite is a ^ay non-poisonous powder which when dug into the soil as directed completely destroys the insects therein. It has proven re- markably successful in Europe and is revolutionizing many branches of horticulture.

October 1, 1907, the universal postal union, which governs the international postal transactions of the various civil- ized countries, reduced the rate of let- ter postage from 5 cents a half ounce to 5 cents for the first ounce and 3 cents for each additional ounce, which is the present rate between the United States and Great Britain.

Postmaster General Meyer believes that this reduction in the rate of postage to the United Kingdom ultimately will result in an increase of receipts, because it has always been found that a reduc- tion of the letter rate resulted finally in increasing the revenue. He is also of the opinion that a lower postage will lead to freer commercial intercourse. It is said that in England the an- nouncement of a penny post arrangement with the United States gives greater gratification to the British press and peo- ple than many of the weightier political reforms, and is especially greeted as an important stage on the road to a univer- sal penny post. It is considered cer- tain to have considerable effect on for- eign opinion in this matter, and little doubt is entertained that it will speedily be followed by the announcement that negotiations with France to the same end have been satisfactorily concluded.

Much of the stock now arriving is of such poor quality that it is woith little. Boses are, in many cases, coming badly mildewed and only a limited number of really good blooms are arriving. Kai- serin takes the lead, some remarkably fine ones being seen. Prices are low and it is hard to dispose of the cheaper grades. Carnations are also showing the effects of the warm weather and are getting small. Many also show the rav- ages of red spider. Sweet peas are now coming in small lots from outdoors and sell quite well. There is little sale for such lilies as are coming on, but lily of the valley is in fair demand. Gladioli are still quite plentiful, without any spe- cial call for them. Peonies are abun- dant, being several weeks earlier than last year. Both singles and doubles are seen, the latter predominating. There is^ a fair demand for these, especially pink and white varieties. There has been an active demand for all bedding plants and some of the larger speclialists in these are already al- most sold out of stock. Rhododendron Show. There was a splendid show of rhodo- dendrons and other seasonable flowers at Horticultural hall June 6, the large ex- hibition hall being entirely filled. For largest collection of rhododendrons, six trusses of each, Walter Hunnewell, T. D. Hatfield gardener, was first with a splen- did collection; Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Wil- liam Thatcher gardener, was second. Walter Hunnewell filled three large ta- bles with a great variety of hardy and tender varieties. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. had forty finely flowered rhododen- drons in tubs, also numerous kalmias and Canterbury bells, all beautifully flowered and well arranged, the best group the firm has ever shown, and were awarded a silver gilt medal. They also had a large and representative collection of German iris and other herbaceous plants. Blue Hill Nurseries was first and sec- ond for thirty bottles of herbaceous plants. They received a certificate of merit for the new Lupinus polyphyllus Moerheimi. Thurlow & Co. were in the lead for thirty-six vases of German iris; F. J. Rea, second. Mrs. J. L. Gardner had the best twenty-five orchids arranged for effect, with foliage plants. J. E. Kothwell had a large collection of cut orchids.

Leuthy & Co. have ha.d a tremen- dous call for bedding plants this season and never sold so many before Memorial day as this year. They refused orders for many thousands of geraniums on that day. As usual, growers are having consider- able trouble with cutworms on their car- nations and other crops this season, some reporting them more numerous than ever. In addition to the gypsy and brown tail moth pests, we are also suffering from the attacks of cankerworms in unprece- dented numbers, which are working much destruction to trees and shrubs. William Sim is now marketing some of his Comet tomatoes, which he will shortly be able to pick by the ton daily. Farquhar & Co. have had the heaviest call for bedding plants of any year since they started in business. Welch Bros, are doing a good ship- ping trade to seaside and mountain re- sorts. They had a great business at Memorial day. W. N. Craig. V^etaUe Forcing. No ONE appears to consider winter to- matoes a profitable crop at obtainable prices. Estimates of private growers and experiment station reports agree that a price of at least 35 cents the pound should be obtained to allow a fair re- turn for the labor and expense of pro- duction. Wholesale prices range from 10 to 40 cents the pound, and seldom average more than 25 cents for the sea- son. Large quantities of greenhouse tomatoes are grown in late fall and early spring as succession or catch crops for otherwise idle glass, and doubtless often afford fair profit, as no considerable fuel consumption can be charged against them.

It is well understood among tomato growers that, other conditions being equal, a bloom with a long pistil, carry- ing the stigma beyond the clasping an- thers, is more likely to be fertilized in the comparatively still air, of a green- house than one with a short pistil. In practice, greenhouse tomatoes are polli- nated by sharply jarring the vine sup- ports on sunny days when the air within A BED OF MUSHROOMS Raised from our Spawn, will bear lonseT and yield better than from any other variety of Spawn.

Mention The Review when you write. is comparatively dry, or even rapping, with a light stick or long-handled brush, the flower clusters themselves. This re- leases the mature pollen contained in the chinks *of the crowded anthers so that it emerges in minute cloud-like puffs. If the stigma is beyond the tip of the anthers it is almost certain to be coated with pollen, as it is usually in receptive condition as soon as the pollen is ripe. If too short the pollen shower passes be- yond, so that the sensitive portion of the stigma may be missed, or so imperfectly fertilized that malformed fruits follow. Many growers find it profitable in dull midwinter weather to collect pollen in a watch glass or other convenient recep- tacle and apply it daily to such blooms as may appear receptive. This work is greatly facilitated when the styles are of good length. The ideal greenhouse tomato, according to Dr. Van Fleet, should produce sufficient pollen during the gloomiest and shortest of winter days, and be so constructed that fertili- zation should result from a comparatively light jar. Mayflower, of all varieties, has characteristically the most project- ing stigmas, and has never been consid- ered prolific in the field, but was long a favorite inside for its reliability. PELARGONIUMS. During the last few weeks the ivy- leaved pelargonium, Galilee, has been one of the most prominent flowering plants in the London market, says a writer in the Horticultural Advertiser. It is used extensively for window-boxes, and when properly treated, it produces a wealth of bloom. It has also become a popular variety as a pot plant. Since reference has been made to the value of careful selection for stock, I find that growers keep their eyes open, and my attention has been called to two selected sports. One grower has a sport with rather larger flowers, which are also of a more pleasing shade of color. There can be no doubt but that there is a decided difference, for plants of the ordinary sort growing with them proved the distinction. Another grower brought me blooms only, of a decided sport, the color being of a pretty lavender mauve shade, and I was assured that the plants propagated since the sport was first se- lected all kept true to color and had the same free habit as the parent. I find that another grower has a seedling va- riety of a similar color, which he has grown for several years, but he has grown it exclusively for cut bloom, and With the Skinner Sys- tem of Irrigation ONE MAN can do the work of FORTY MEN watering with a hose* Till Skinner Irrigation Go.

The habit of this va- riety is, however, quite distinct from Galilee. I may add that though Galilee is so extensively grown, Mme. Crousae would, probably, beat the record for quantities. It is curious that this old variety should have stood the test for go many years. I think, if comparison could be made that what most growers now have, would be found to be an improvement on the original. I find that from vari- ous growers there is a slight difference, some being of rather a better shade of color. Culture makes some difference, yet there is naturally a slight variation. This is proved from the fact that one grower secured a sport some years ago, which had almost pure white flowers. We have had many other varieties on the market at various times, but none except those referred to above and Sou- venir de Chas.

These exercises are taking place some- what earlier than usual this year. The demand for peonies is good, but not enough to relieve the market. Flowers of all kinds are plentiful. In roses the Richmond, La Detroit, Kai- serin, Killarney, Bride and Maid are the best. Beauties are quite plentiful, but the quality is nothing extra. Some fine sweet peas in the delfcate shades are arriving from Mount Clemens daily. Many thousand were disposed of for graduating exercises. Carnations are of good quality and meeting with a steady demand, despite the street merchants' low price. Variotti Notes. What was at first intended only for a ball game between some of the boys, turned out to be a grand outing on Belle Isle on Friday, June 6. Many wives and sweethearts were in the crowd, which after the game embarked to Insel Buhe, the home of Mrs. William Dilger, on Belle Isle. Here the merrymakers were treated to a grand feast, speeches, songs, poetry by Browne, and reciting. Of course, the ball game was the fea- ture of the day. The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange sluggers carried off the honors with a score of 20 to 15. W. B. Brown, of the opposing team, was feel- ing pretty good and it is thought that the laughter he provoked got the boys ex- cited. Captains Pierce and Rahaley are on speaking terms, but Mr. Pierce will positively not talk baseball since the game. These outings are what get the members of the club acquainted and, should there chance to be any hard feel- ing between any of the boys, a few of these outings will expel it. X hilip Breitmeyer and J. F. Sullivan were among the jolly crowd of Detroit business men who participated in the trip to the Soo on the new D, & C. steamer, City of Cleveland. J. F. Sullivan is cutting hundreds of fine peonies. Many are disposed of, but some meet the usual fate. Mrs. Hugo Schroeter is spending sev- eral months with relatives in Boston and at her old home in Newport, R. I. Otto H. Cron, of Monroe, Mich., re- ports a splendid growth in business. He has placed orders with the John C. Moninger Co., of Chicago, for ma- terial for several new houses. Peter F. Reuss, who has been with Schroeter all winter, has left for north- ern Michigan, where he will again en- gage in the fern business. H. S.

Salem, Oee. — Carl Buef has nearly completed the construction of two addi- tional greenhouses, one 22x100 and the other 32x100. His business is increasing rapidly. ^___ SAN FHANOSCO. TheMarkeL Decoration day has come and gone and everything has settled down to thorough quietness, with nothing to break the mo- notony except an occasional funeral order or a small wedding decoration. Speaking of Memorial day, I find that the business done in the stores was not over seventy-five per cent of that of one year ago, while the country shipping or- ders were not over fifty per cent of those of last year. This is a fair estimate, and only in isolated cases was there any excess over this. The general business depression that is to be found everywhere is responsible for the falling off in trade, and the pro- portion lost during last week is hot more than has been the lot of the florists to experience during all of this year. Cut flowers of all kinds are cheap. Roses can be had at from $1 per hun- dred upward and carnations at about the same figure. Sweet peas have proven to be one of the best sellers during the entire spring and they cost the retailers about 75 cents per dozen bunches. Bride gladioli of the several kinds have been in good demand and there has been no excess of them the last week. Other kinds of outside stock have moved well, but prices have since then gone to smash. There has been a steady demand for all kinds of green stuff. Smilax, aspara- gus and maidenhair fern are proving themselves to be money-makers and it appears to make little difference how poorly other kinds of stock sell; these extras are always called for. Those growers who devote their houses almost exclusively to this class of stock seem to feel less diflSculty in selling their wares than is experienced by flower growers who devote their time either to carna- tions or roses.

The demand from out of town probably broke all records, and we received some good, substantial orders from as far as the interior parts of Idaho and "Wyoming. There was the usual call for design work for Memorial day, which cleaned up everything with a short stem. Carnations were in pretty good supply and the retail prices ad- vanced to $1.50 per dozen, "There was also a good crop of indoor roses, the best selling for $3 per dozen. The Japanese iris, early peonies and other garden stock were water-soaked and sold at bargain-counter prices. That fine late variety of peony, festiva maxima, which sold a year ago for $4 per dozen, will not be in bloom for two weeks yet. After summing up everything, the retail- ers agree that May was a pretty good month, despite some extremely dull days. Various Notes. The great rose fiesta is now in prog- ress and Portland is looking her best in rose and green. Had the committee in charge acted wisely, this festive occa- sion, which means so much to the rose enthusiasts, would have been postponed for ten days. The unfavorable season blighted the buds and they develop im- perfectly; and then there is a scarcity, hence the use of too many artificial flowers. Our amateur rose society gave a very creditable show June 2, in one of the old fair buildings, which received a tre- mendous patronage.

The handling of hardy stock that is grown in pots is one of the severest trials of the nurseryman in the dry portions of California during the summer season. I refer to both deciduous and evergreen stuff, and with many dealers these fur- nish by far the most of the stock han- dled. Where there is such an absence of nat- ural moisture as there is in California at this time, the question of keeping plants moist enough to insure a healthy growth is all-important. The proper amount of repotting and shifting takes up much of the time, and watching that the stock does not root through too much has to be always borne in mind. Staking and pruning will have to be done several times during the season, and with each change the grower has to be on the alert to see that his plants do not go back- ward and become unsalable. >i» MT.

Cable Address t AI^EXCOKKKI^Is, Western Union Ood«. TO THE TRADE LesB than four years ago I built two email greenhouses, as a venture into the florists' world. My twelve greenhouses, located at my home in New Cumberland, Pa., the two stores in Harrisburg, Pa., one at 35 North Second St. , the other at 1108 Market St., and the store at 169 South St., Steelton, Pa., are proof to me that the key to success is carefully look- ing after the wants of one's patrons, by giving both wholesaler and retailer only the best that can be grown and never allowing anyone to be dissatisfied. Having recentlv added seed depart- ments to each of my stores, I am now in shape to take care of my trade in the most satisfactory manner and promise to give the same careful attention to all in the future as in the past. With thanks for past patronage, I am, for pleasure and profit, very truly yours, JOHN A. KEPNER, P. 0. Box 3. Harriabnrg, Pa. Mention The Review when you write. The old way, and in many respects a good one, was to plunge the pots in the earth in rows and leave about an inch of the top of the pot exposed above the surface. While this is an easy way and is probably more natural for the stock itself, it entails a great deal of work and is hard on the pots themselves. For such kinds of deciduous or evergreen stock as are not of very fast growth and do not make an excess of roots it does very well, and the stock need not be shifted during the entire season. But where the rule is to grow strong, both above and below the soil, it is a much better idea to keep such articles on the surface of the ground, in a frame, and with a heavy mulching of manure on top. This acts both as an aid to moist- ure and as an enrichment to the soil, and is an ideal way to grow such stock. If the staking, pruning and shifting are watched carefully enough, it is sur- prising what growths can be had in small si2ed pots, and these can in turn be han- dled at any time, with no danger of dying. Many plants will, in addition, root freely in the mulching and an extra fine lot of roots is thus assured. The greatest saving, however, is in the watering, and where once a day is the imperative rule in the middle of summer, it becomes only twice a week with suf- ficient mulching. This can be appre- ciated doubly when the grower has to depend on a town water supply for his source. Lath houses, provided the stock is not crowded too closely, are a splendid ad- junct in the handling of hardy stock and have a natural tendency to encourage plants to climb upward. » They lessen the necessity for watering considerably.

JOHN *■ DOYLE, Sprliigflilil, Ohio.. Mention The Review when you write. At the convention of 1907, a resolu- tion was passed authorizing the com- mittee to test the law which had been previously enacted by the legislature of South Dakota, attempting to regulate the shipments and distribution of nurs- ery stock within the borders of that state. Following the rules of the association, your chairman invited several western nurserymen who were largely interested in South Dakota business to act as mem- bers of the committee in reference par- ticularly to the South Dakota matter, viz.: B. E. Fields, of Fremont, Neb.; E. M. Sherman, Charles City, la.; E. F. Edmondson, of Perry, la. Consultation with these gentlemen, and with the mem- bers of the executive committee, showed that it was the unanimous opinion that a test case should be pushed through. Our attorneys, McGuire & Wood, were therefore instructed to proceed, and were able to arrange with the authorities of South Dakota for a test case, which was promptly brought before the supreme court of that state, and decided in the main in favor of the nursery interests. The decision touched only on certain sections of the act, and for that reason did not declare the entire act unconsti- tutional, as we hoped. Hardy Pinks Perpetual Snow.

The test case came before the court in this manner: It was arranged that a salesman representing an Iowa nurs- eryman was to take orders for nursery stock in South Dakota, regardless of the fact that his employer had not filed the entomologist 's certificate, or taken out a license, and had not observed any of the provisions of the law. The agent was arrested for violation of the law, and ap- plication was made to the supreme court for his discharge on habeas corpus. This action simply brought into ques- tion such provisions of the law as had been violated by the agent and his prin- cipals, viz.: the requirement for the fil- ing of the entomologist's certificate, the procuring of a permit and the require- JUNB 11, 1008.

Con- sequently these were the only provisions of the law as to which the court was called upon to render judgment, although they did go a step further in considera- tion of part of Section 2. Section 1 of the law provides: That any nurseryman, resident or nonresi- dent, who desires to sell nursery stock in South Dakota, either directly or by salesmen, shall first secure a permit from the board of agri- culture to do business In the state, and as con- ditions precedent to the issuance of such per- mit the board of agriculture shall require a certificate of inspection from a competent ento- mologist, and such references and evidences of integrity as may seem to be necessary to estab- lish the responsibility and good faith of the applicant. The board of agriculture shall re- quire a continuing bond in the sum of $5,000 on which any person who sustains damage by reason of the Tiolations of this act may re- cover. Section 2: Any agent who sells nursery stock in South Dakota shall be required to carry a letter or certificate from his principal, setting forth the fact that he is duly authorized to represent such nursery, and that a guarantee Is made that any written contract entered into by him as agent will be fulfilled If the same is accepted by said nursery, unless notification to the contrary be made in writing to the pur- chaser within thirty days after such order or contract Ts made. In addition to the fore- going, each agent who sells nursery stock that may have been grown In any other state or territory, shall be required to procure and carry a duplicate of the permit issued to bis prin- cipal.

JUNB 11, 1908. paragraph which provides that every agent representing a nursery located in another state shall be required to carry a duplicate of the permit issued to his principal, is invalid, because a discrimi- nation is made against the citizens of other states and in favor of the citizens of South Dakota, but the first paragraph of Section 2 is not covered by the de- cision. Section 3 is not covered by the deci- sion. Section 5 is declared valid so far as it relates to the license fee of $10 for the principal, but under the decision as relating to Section 2, the requirement of a fee for the agent's duplicate permit is invalid. The decision, in the main, is in favor of the nurserymen, and it is the judg- ment of our counsel that we should not appeal the case. The main point not covered by the decision is the require- ment of Section 2, that each agent shall carry a certificate from the principal, to which alone probably no one would ob- ject, and that the principal shall be bound by the acts of the agent unless he notifies the customer within thirty days from the making of the contract. The latter is a bad provision, but could not be reached on an appeal in the pres- ent case, and could only be taken up through a new case, after some agent or principal had violated that section of the law. Our counsel, however, feels that this section is so plainly unconstitutional, as interfering with the right of contract, that no attempt is likely to be made toward its enforcement, and advises that we file entomologist 's certificates, tender the license fee of $10 and demand a per- mit, and do our business as we do it elsewhere, paying no attention to the other sections of the law except to give our agents such certificate of appoint- ment, as many of us do in the ordinary course of business. During the year the attention of your chairman was also called to the laws of the states of Wyoming, Oklahoma and Wisconsin, and McGuire & Wood pre- pared an opinion as to the constitution- ality and validity of those laws. It is our opinion that we have good grounds for contests in each of the three states, and would therefore recommend that test cases be brought without delay. It is believed that the funds of the associa- tion cannot be expended in any better way than in defending the rights of our members against foolish, unreasonable, arbitrary and unconstitutional legisla- tion. If we meekly submit to such legis- lation, other states will follow in similar paths, until gradually but surely our business will be hampered and inter- fered with all over the United States. l-yr.'Old Bench Plants Per 100 1000 Beauties $5.00 $40.00 From 3-iii.

Some good business was looked for, but failed to materialize. Several large wed- dings, with the commencements, ought to have made business move much bet- ter. It was the same old cry — too heavy a supply. The market was heavily stock- ed with flowers, and as a consequence the price was held so low that there was nothing in it. Great quantities of flow- ers were sold, it is true, but the average price was so low that flowers had to be handled by the wagon load to make the books show much business in dollars and cents. How much longer the heavy supply will continue, no one can tell, but the end is surely in sight. Carnations are hardly fit to sell. Some growers con- tinue to hold their stock up to fair quality, but they are hardly paid for their trouble. Many have already thrown out their plants and more are doing so daily. When a few more have done this, perhaps the receipts will be reduced to a point where they can be handled at a profit to the grower. Many growers have also thrown out their roses and it will not be many more days till the rest will have to do the same, so as to be ready for planting. This will reduce the supply of roses, which also are coming in too strong for the demand. The business has about settled itself to the usual summer basis, and as soon as the supply of flowers does likewise we can begin to think of summer vacations, fishing trips and the like. Peonies and sweet peas were about the only flowers that were in good de- mand. They sold out well and at good prices. Outdoor flowers in season are in plentiful supply and sell about as usual. Smilax is scarce and leucothoe is about out of the market for the time being. The new ferns are coming heavily. There is a good supply of other green goods and also a good demand. Various Notes. Miss Alice Kyrk, sister of Edith and L. H. Kyrk, was married on the evening of June 3 to John Reid, of Detroit, Mich., who was formerly of this city. The young couple left immediately for Detroit, from whence they will take an extended wedding trip through Canada. The best wishes of their many friends in the trade go with them. G. Brunner's Sons have planted about their place a hedge of Crimson Ram- bler. It is now in full bloom and is a sight worth going a long way to see. J. T. Conger has just completed paint- ing his ^greenhouses and outbuildings. C. J. Ohmer. Lexington, Ky. — Honaker The Florist has let the contracts for the erection of another greenhouse, 30x150, to be de- voted to roses. Mr. Honaker is giving special attention to the culture of new varieties of the rose. Danntirs, Mass. — At E. & C. Wood- man's the week preceding Memorial day was one of the busiest in all their ex- perience. In order to provide space for the proper handling of their orders, they were obliged to erect a temporary struc- ture in the form of a large tent. Ship- ping orders were so numerous as to make it difficult to attend to local trade.

Commencements, wedding decorations, ■and the Confederate memorial day made up the week's business. Stock is not so good. The carnations and roses look like the "good old summer time." Qttb Meeting. The club meeting June 2 was not so well attended as the last meeting. The hall is not suitable, as no shows could be had in the rooms secured. The com- mittee was instructed to try to secure a regular meeting place that will be suit- able for exhibits and social sessions. Mr. Gude, as chairman of the Sunday closing committee, made a report as to the bill not coming up before the house last session and recommended that before the next session, the club have a special meeting and every member of the club have a chance to express himself, as he did not think that two or three should act for the club until it was thoroughly discussed. The report was accepted by the club. The fall chrysanthemum show was talked of as a reminder to the grow- ers. Variota Notes. The worm that caused havoc at the Gude and Kramer houses last fall has again made its appearance, but is being held in check. The Gude Bros. Co. has its new houses under way. The first two are being glazed. The company is putting up five rose houses, 40x200, and a palm house 60x160 and twenty-five feet high. Two boilers of 125 horse-power each are being installed. Three of these houses will be planted with Beauties, one with the new rose. My Maryland, and one with Enchanter, the shell pink rose that has been grown for the last five years. A sight to see at this place is a huge stephanotis vine grown between two rose houses. The cut averages about 300 sprays of blossoms daily, which are used to advantage. A great deal is shipped out of town for wedding work. The Washington Florists Co. is cut- ting a fine lot of white phlox. From present indications the local flo- rists will be well represented at the con- vention at Niagara Falls. Everything looks rosy for a large turn- out at the bowling team's excursion June 18. Wm. F. Gude and family are sojourn- ing at Philadelphia at present and will probably take a run over to Atlantic City. O. O. Bangor, Pa. — Samuel S.

Growers are invited to write to the Review about any of their heating prob- lems. Give all the details. PIPING IN MICHIGAN. I want to go into the violet business and would like some information on the subject. I have a house 20x55, with side walls three and one-half feet high and the peak six and one-half feet above the side walls. The house runs north and south, with a glass front on the south end. How many runs of pipe and of what size will be required to heat this house, and how should I arrange them? I am figuring on hot water heat- ing. Could I use a steam boiler and what size will I need? ALso what size regular water heater? A. F. F. Your violet house can be piped in the following way with satisfaction, I be- lieve: Use a 2-inch flow under the ridge, carry hot water to the far end and re- turn by ten 1%-inch returns, arranged on side walls one above tne other and given a good slope from one end of the house to the other. The elevated expan- sion tank, connected with main returns to the boiler, should not be omitted. A good hot water boiler will, I believe, give you less trouble than to attempt to convert a steam boiler. L. C. C. HEAT FOR A VIOLET HOUSE. I have a greenhouse to be used for violets. It is 17x41 and runs east and west. It measures three feet to the eaves and eight feet to the ridge. It has alternate ventilators in the ridge. The west gable is glass, with a glass door, and there are two feet of glass in the sq^th side, but none in the north side. The east end is attached to a boiler room, having a cellar 12x20 and six feet deep, in which the boiler will be placed for hot water heating. Will a Hitchings boiler. No. 22, be large enough to heat the house in the climate of west- ern New York? How many feet of 1%- inch pipe will be needed, or would you recommend some other size? Any help you can give me about installing the heating plant will be most gratefully re- ceived, E. H. A boiler rated to carry 250 feet of radiation should have ample capacity for the house in question.

Mention The Review when you write. short runs of hot water, the house will require a 2-inch flow under the ridge and nine returns of l^A-inch pipe, five on the most exposed side and four on the other, all arranged in manifolds and placed well up on the side walls of the house. L. C. C. TWO SMALL HOUSES. As you oflFer your army of readers of the Review information for the asking regarding their heating apparatus, I ven- ture to ask for help from you. I have a greenhouse 13x30, with 576 feet of glass exposed, and at right angles to this house I have a shop 12x40, with an office 12x14 attached. I am heating these with a hot water boiler, which is rated at 500 feet of radiation, with a fire pot eighteen inches in diameter, a 3-inch outlet at the top and a 7-inch smoke flue, with two 21/^-inch returns. Now, what I want to know is, if I make over the shop into a greenhouse 18x40 feet, with 700 feet of glass ex- posed, would my boiler be large enough to heat both houses for carnations in this part of New York state, where the thermometer sometimes goes down to 30 degrees below zero? The total glass ex- posure in the two houses would be about 1,300 square feet. The present green- house, 13x30, is even-span, nine feet to the ridge and five feet to the eaves, with eighteen inches of glass on the east side. The house 18x40 will be three- quarter span, nine feet high to the ridge, five feet high on one side and six feet high on the other. I have now ten returns of li/j-inch pipe, with one overhead flow of 21^- inch pipe, in the greenhouse, and seven returns with a 1%-inch flow in the shop and oflSee. Do you think ten runs would be enough of IV^-inch pipe in the 18x 40» house, if you consider the boiler large enough ? G. E. M. I do not know that I fully understand y \ June 11, 1908.

But I gather that the problem is to heat a house 13x 30, together with a greenhouse 18x40 and office room, with a boiler rated to ■cany 500 feet. If the office room can be cut out in severe weather it may be possible to do this, but you will be work- ing on mighty close margins. The house 13x30 ought to be handled with ten IVa-inch returns, but the house 18x40 should have at least thirteen pipes of that size. I believe the boiler is capable of doing the worl^ however, and would be willing to take the chance if I could get the expansion tank eighteen to twenty feet above the highest point in the heat- ing system and connected directly with the main return close to the boiler. L. C. C. PIPING IN PENNSYLVANIA. We have a greenhouse 20x48 feet, heat- ■ed by a sectional hot water boiler with a grate surface of three square feet. One 2-inch flow pipe runs out at the west side and feeds seven l^/.-inch re- turns under the middle bench. Another 5-inch flow runs out at the east side and S*PJIftERS h: k^^^J. SAVE THE COAL Every dollar saved In coal is a dollar added to your earnings— to your profit. It will be diiHcult to get cleaner-cut evidence of the money-saving side of Capitol Boilers than that given by the Ellsworth Greenhouses. Grand Island, Neb., .who write: "We have one of your Capitol Boilers in our greenhouses, and it is the flnest steam boiler we ever saw. Glass surface is hard to heat, but we have no trouble whatever. It is saving us coal, and we can keep a better temperature than we ever bad before. No work to take care of it." Here is testimony from practical florists who have the same conditions to meet, the same troubles to overcome, the same expenses to watch as you have, and if the Capitol Boiler is a money-saver for them it will certainly be for you. Then there is the quick renalr feature of Capitol Boilers. But send for our descriptive Catalogue today, or write or call on one of our Branches or Sales Agencies. [Inited Slates Heaterrompany.

I would suggest that you modify the piping of your house as follows: That you use a single 2% -inch flow under the ridge of the house. Connect both of your present 2-inch flows into this single one, carry it to the far end of the bouse and return by the use of fourteen l*^- inch return pipes. The present returns can be allowed to remain as they are and the four additional ones used as a mani- fold on the wall of the west side. L. C. C. GRAND RAPIDS. State of Trade. May broke all records for being a hot, wet month. For fourteen days, of twen- ty-four hours each, there was steady rain; nine days more were cloudy, hot and sultry, while the few remaining bright, sunshiny days were red-hots. Flowers were plentiful. Carnations bloomed themselves almost to death, so to speak, but would not keep, and the glut was the worst ever experienced. Large quantities were shipped to the al- ready overloaded commission man and brought barely enough to cover commis- sion and express charges, while whole wagon loads were consigned to the dump. Such is the record of May. Decoration day week opened with rain, with the temperature 90 to 100 degrees, the atmosphere loaded with moisture, and flowers keeping in good, salable condition for one day only. These con- ditions continued through the entire week. Peddler wagons were in evidence all the week, but on Memorial day, espe- cially, the florists near cemeteries had their troubles. At Valley City cemetery seven peddler wagons lined up opposite Mrs. Goebel's greenhouses, selling cheap. The Goebels hurried a lot of large boxes out in front of the greenhouses, covered them with geraniums, with a large sign, "Geraniums, 5 cents apiece." Custom- ers swarmed around the 5-cent geraniums and the peddlers stood . and looked on until, tired of standing with their wares unsold, they drove away one by one and left Mrs. Goebel victor. James Schols, out at Greenwood, struggled with five peddler wagons. At St. Andrew's cemetery one lone wagon took its stand, but did not stay long. G. F. C.

COLUMBUS, OHIO. ^. , ' State of Ttaide, ' Trade for Decoration day fell a little below expectations, as there was an abun- dance of outdoor stock in prime just at that time, which cut down the call for better stock. The weather was extremely hot a few days before Decoration, and roses and carnations felt the effect of it, as they came in very soft and with the color taken right out of them. There was a big lot of peonies on the market,' but some would stand selling several days before, as they shattered badly. Outdoor roses, etc., were seen everywhere, and people having them used them instead of .buying other stock. Plant trade was heavy during the week and geraniums took the lead. Everything cleaned up nicely that was showing color. The Confederate decoration was held Saturday, June 6, at damp Chase, and used up a good bunch of stock. Trade since Decoration day has been fairly good in the cut flower line, while the planting is about completed. There are a good lot of weddings booked for this month, and this, with the commencements, will help to hold the month of June up to a good, solid month of business, after which we can all take a vacation. We had a few cool days last week, which helped roses and carnations a great deal and they are coming in fine shape now. If the weather is not too hot from now on, we can expect some good roses all through the month of June. Various Notes. The Florists' Club held its regular meeting Tuesday night, to decide on the date for the annual picnic. The ^unk Floral Co. reports carnations holding up fairly well, and they expect to cut from about half of their old stock up to planting time. They are replant- ing at present, using stock out of pots. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is getting ready to plant its mums. The new carna- tions planted in the houses out of pots are in fine shape. They are making ele- gant growth and ought to furnish some fine earlj- blooms. George D. Stewart, formerly with the Livingston Seed Co., is now representing S. M.

Peonies took the lead, retailing from $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Carnations were scarce, seeming to be off crop; prices ranged from 50 cents to $1 per dozen. Boses were not plentiful and were of poor quality. There were no jasmine to be had this year, as they were in too early and were all brown by Decoration day. In former years they were plenti- ful and went a long way in helping out. Sweet-williams were plentiful and sold readily at 75 cents per dozen. Not so much was done in plants on that day, as .,..they were bought three or four days previous and all graves planted. Vaiiottt Notes. . Geo. M, Kellogg 's store rAwrts a fine trade, having sdld everything to be had. Large quantities of peonies of their own growing, mostly white, were placed in cold storage and were all disposed of at a fair price. R. S. Brown has improved much in health and has been in the spring rush of business, which has been one of the best for many years. Nelson Jarrett is doing a rushing busi- ness this spring in bed^ng plants. He now runs two covered wagons to the mar- ket, where he disposes of most of his stock. W. H. Hum'feld reports that he is just finishing one of the most successful bed- ding seasons since he has been in busi- ness, which is sixteen years. The Deco- ration day trade was especially good. The heavy rains in the west are caus- ing the two rivers to overflow, and it looks as if all railroads would have to stop. H. E. Rathjen, head grower at W. H. Humfeld's, fearing a delay of rail- road, left early Monday evening for Trenton, Mo., where he met his bride, Miss Marie Witten.

Outdoor roses are almost a failure this season, partly due to the late frosts and partly to insects, which are destroy- ing the foliage on some lawns where they were not sprayed. The bushes look as though a fire had been near them. We noticed one of our nurserymen hav- ing two barrels in his wagon, peddling some kind of red liquid bug destroyer.

The Weekly Florists' Review* RETAILER AND WHOLESALER ■.'»¥l.^ to buy twenty-five sprays of mignonette at 6 cents, selling all at $1.50 per dozen, or to buy fifty or 100 sprays, knowing his trade will use but twenty-five, and , selling it at $3 per dozen. The commission men are complaining of not getting rid of surplus stock. They a,re only doing now what most retailers are doing all - the time. It is only a very small number of stores that do not give as much atten- tion to the so-called "25-cent customer" as to those who purchase in larger amounts. It is impossible to have a continuous bargain sale, even if you do vary the inducements. I have found that if one week you sell carnations at 25 cents, ad- vertising them as a special bargain, the following week the same prices, the same j advertising and the same energy dis- played will not move one-half as much stock as at the previous sale. However, I am a firm believer in bargains, and have always endeavored to give the public anything that would benefit the grower and commission man, and at the same time further my own interests. Philip Brdtmeyer, Detroit. In reference to Mr. Niessen 's state- ment in regard to the margin of profit for the retailer, I want to reply. I have figured all kinds of ways and have come to the conclusion that the margin for the retailer must be twice that' of the grower, if he is to succeed; conditions should govern, of course. Being a retailer and grower, keeping a detailed account of goods that change hands, I know the average florist who keeps up an attractive display has many losses which must necessarily be charged to the selling price. On the other hand, every flower the grower furnishes to the retailer direct is charged for, whether sold by the retailer or not. In order that the retailer may come out with a profit he must be on the lookout all the time: if business is brisk he is making money, and as soon as it slacks up, invariably he goes behind. It is an easy matter to prove who is on top. Name the success- ful retailers and growers and tell me which is in the lead. In my twenty-five or more years of experience directly in the store end of the business I am satis- fied that the grower, if a successful grower, as he should be, has the best end of the business. He has no charges to carry from one year to the other, he has no advertising, expensive ^elivery, fancy boxes and the many items of ex- pense that show not on the surface but are bound to creep in and must come from the profits. I do not believe the first-class stores can profit by making weekly bargain sales in times of glut. This has often been tried and I am of the opinion that the people get accustomed to the cheap sales and are rather disappointed if they are not continued; this from personal experience. I am rather inclined to be- lieve in the department store or faker doing a part of this business, as also the smaller stores that are in localities where yr r^ TheWeekly Florists' Review. June 18, 1908. the people look for bargains. It is cer- tain that the surplus should be disposed of. In our own business we contribute all our 'surplus to hospitals and this method brings returns equal to the prices that are obtained on the special bargain plan. E* G. Gillett, Cincinnati. I have read carefully, word for word, Mr. Niessen's paper, as published in the Review, and I find that from begin- ning to end he has mapped out the situ- ation correctly and has given the real facts of the case. But, so far as co- operation is concerned, Mr. Niessen or anyone else might stand up and talk until black in the face and it would produce no eflfect. When stock is scarce the retailer is all smiles as he steps into a commission house. No trouble to sell him goods then. But let the glut appear and he steps into a commission house with a sour face and nothing is good enough for him. He grumbles, pulls and hauls, picks out a few cljoice morsels, jews you down on the price and walks out. Does he reduce his price to his cus- tomers! No. Why? "Because," he says, "if I do it once they will expect it next time. Then, I must use a box, pay car fare and deliver the goods." He will not consider the bargain specials for a moment, and he will not help un- load the market unless he has a place to use the stock. The retailer in the large cities will take no chances. He buys from the com- mission houses to fill his orders and then stops. My experience has been the same as Mr. Niessen's in this respect. The large grower, who sells his own stock, is to blame to a' great extent for gluts and low prices. He is not a commission broker, and he will sell his product for any price he chooses, while the commission broker is trying to get all he can out of the stock for his con- signors, but is forced to meet competi- tion or do no business. I am heartily in favor of cooperation, but it is impossible. Hij£o Sduoetcr, DetroiU I have read and re-read the paper in the Review of June 4 on "Coopera- tion of Retailer and Wholesaler," by Arthur A. Niessen, and from every point of view it appeals to me as being good. The writer has shown no partiality and his paper contains much food for thought. When we have a glut of flowers in our city, of course, the amount of stock on hand does not compare with that of a city like Philadelphia, Chicago, New York or Boston; still, it is a glut, and the question of relieving it is becoming a serious one. No doubt, a store lo- cated on the main street in a large city can dispose of much stock in one day by selling at a greatly reduced price. One of our largest stores, located in the best section of the city, has been carry- ing on such sales for some time, one every Saturday. Much stock has been disposed of, but I doubt whether the financial remuneration paid for the time, labor and risk taken. If a florist has glass of his own, and his stock com- mences to pile up, it is a different propo- sition. After all, the street merchant seems to me to be the best solution of the problem so far. *We call him a faker and often talk of him as a detriment to our business. He surely deserves some credit. He takes many long chances, for when he buys stock away below the regular market price, he is compelled to buy in thousand lots; yes, ten-thou- sand lots, in order to get his price. When stock is scarce the fakers are usually scarce, and when it becomes plen- tiful they may be seen on all comers. When you look at it in this light, is not the faker a sort of a godsend f Of course, as Mr. Niessen says, "with few exceptions, they are not a desirable lot," and it is to be hoped that some day a better, more legitimate way will be found for relieving a glut. I think if the growers were to make more of a study of it, much of the glut could be prevented. That there is room for more coopera- tion between the wholesaler and retailer is true. Both sides should come half- way. What we need in this city, and I believe in most cities, is an organiza- tion composed mainly of employers or their managers or foremen; this to meet at certain times oriVindependent ground and discuss better business meth- ods in a frank way. The object of this organization should not be to see how many members can be enrolled, but qual- ity should be given the first considera- tion. *rhere can be no set rule for a margin between prices. A house that caters to an exclusive trade, has bells on the horses, uniformed messengers, etc., must add more to the cost price than one that caters to the middle classes. In my es- timation, the average price received at retail should be about double that of the cost price for a firm doing a general business. I would like to hear more on this sub- ject from some of our large retail men in this and other cities. My experi- ence in this business has been limited to a period of only a few years when compared with some of the older heads. The conditions in this city, also, are different from those in some cities. Frank Huntsmao, QndnnaH. With reference to Mr. Niessen 's paper, as printed in the Beview of June 4, I think his use of the term cooperation somewhat vague. Cooperation, as he him- self states, "is practical only when all parties concerned derive a benefit from their combined efforts." Now, in time of a glut, it would be a benefit, no doubt, to the grower and the commission man to have the retail store man flnd an outlet for the surplus — a benefit to the grower in keeping down his losses, if not in adding to his profits, and a benefit to the commission man to the extent of the commission involved. But if the store man cannot make a profit on the transaction, it would be co- operation for him in about the same way as if he should buy a wagon of a cer- tain wagon dealer in our town, who heads his price list in flaming characters: "Come, buy my wagons and help me to get rich." In regard to Mr. Niessen's question, "What are the retailers doing to re- lieve the market of its overproduction?" I would say that the average store man is just as eager to relieve the congestion as is the faker, and for the same rea- son, a desire for profit. But if the store man were to follow Mr. Niessen's advice to buy in large quantities, and to make large sales and small profits, would there not be danger of his getting into the faker class, who, Mr. Niessen says, are not a desirable lot? Mr. Niessen's remarks in regard to unselfishness and faith ^ave the right ring and are a credit /to him, but, no matter how altruistic toe individual may be, the average bu^ness man is too tightly bound by the tether of profit to stray very far Irony the beaten track. Mr. Niessen says' there is a vast dif- ference in the price of flowers from the grower to the pm)lic, and this is true. The public does pay a high price for the flowers, as compared with the actual cost of production. It is also true that cooperation, to be ideal, should include the consume/ as well as the producer. But to carrVto a conclusion this thought, and to put/into practical operation some of the plans for reducing the cost to the consuiner, might do away with the commission men entirely and most of us store /men as well. Ff ink H. Traendly, New York. The iideas expressed before the Flo- rists' club of Philadelphia are not new, and to my knowledge have been agitated for many years; in fact, as far back as I can remember the question has been brought up every little while by some one. (This matter had been thrashed out 80 offen that I feel that anything I mighl^say woiJd be of little consequence. Philadelphia, as usual, seems to have woke up long after all other cities. It is a eondition that we all have to buck again&t and do the best we can. \' ADVERTISING. J. W. Hill, of Des Moines, president of j;he American Association of Nursery- men, . in his address at Milwaukee last week, among other things, had the fol- lowing to say which is applicable* to all branches of the horticultural trades: "I want to repeat, with greater em- phasis, if possible, what my predecessor stated at our last session, regarding the necessity of giving greater publicity to our products through the medium of newspaper advertising. We are living in the greatest advertising age the coun- try has ever known, as may be easily ascertained by closely examining the columns of our leading papers and mag- azines. The live, up-to-date nursery- man can ill afford to listlessly foUow in beaten paths because they led his father to succeas, or to continue the methods that he himself, even, adopted ten years ago. We must adapt ourselves to new methods and the changed conditions brought about by this era of advertis- ing. "Select some good advertising me- diums, which publish the truth, and which have the confidence of their read- ers; send them honest, truthful ads and let them know what you have to offer. * ' Furnish your customer just what you agree to furnish, thus upholding the respectability and truthfulness of the journal or magazine, and at the same time realize the consciousness of having treated your patron right, and just as you stated you would in your advertise- ment. "Honesty and truthfulness in adver- tising is the only policy which will en- dure. ' ' Whitinsville, Mass. — The green- houses at Pine Grove cemetery will soon undergo extensive alterations.

It is ill the month' of June that the average retail florist finds the widest scope for the exercise of his artistic talents, for wedding work is then most plentiful. No matter how unpretentious or how elaborate the wedding decora- tion may be, the flowers are sure to come in for critical inspecjtion. "Where the individuality of funeral flowers fre- quently is lost, not so with the stock used for weddings, and only the best of material can be used, affording op- portunity for the display of each bloom so that its perfection will be apparent. In wedding work, too, there must be variety to give the bouquets and decora- tions distinctiveness — it will not do to have the flowers the same for wedding after wedding where many of the guests are likely to be present at each event. It is for these reasons, as well as some others, that a particular interest attaches to illustrations of wedding decorations and bouquets; they afford an opportunity to study the work of others and to think out variations which may be employed on some similar or- ders. The accompanying illustrations are from photographs of some of the recent wedding bouquets of W. J. Pal- mer & Son, Buffalo, and are pleasing examples of their kind. HOUSE DECORATING. The Flowers for a Wedding. After arranging the plants in the morning, make a note of what we will need to finish up our decoration. Of course, it is not always necessary to make a note on paper; a mental note will do, providing you have a memory you can trust. It puts one in a mean position when the time for the ceremony is near • at hand and you must admit that you forgot this or that. I have always found - it a good plan to inform the people of the house that I would not return with the flowers until a certain time. This win eliminate all cause for worry on the part of the bride-to-be and her people. Then see that you are on the job at the time set. Now, I know from experience that some of the above will sound like a waste of time, but I also know from experience that it is the little things that count. Although there i^ no set rule, it is a good plan to finish the table first, so the caterer can go ahead with his work. Hardly two tables are ever deco- rated just alike, so each florist must ■ use his own judgment to a large extent. Still, often your customer will have some scheme to be carried out, or she may have some good ideas which you may not have thought of. Our table, in this instance, we will say, is oblong, . while the wallpaper is green, which will harmonize with almost any color. But our order calls for a pretty, loose basket of La Detroit roses, having a low handle, as the chandelier in the room hangs quite low over the table. The guests are not to be seated, a buffet lunch being served. Avoid too large a basket; it looks better to have some space for the eat- ables, despite the fact that often there are not many. See that the basket is exactly in the center of the table, and not a few inches off to one side. A few long, delicate sprays of asparagus, We are also to furnish some flowers for the piano and on a mantel. On the piano a bowl or 1q,w vase with a large mouth can be used to good Advantage. For instance, if you are using peonies, which are so popular at present, have some of the stems shorter than the others and arrange the flowers in such a way that they produce a pretty effect from below. On one side of the mantel we have already arranged a group of ferns, so we will place the vase of flowers to one side. Two dozen long-stemmed Kaiserin roses is what we have to work with this time. Arrange them in a suitable tall vase. A few nice sprays of Asparagus plumosus between the roses look well. At this time of year you may often be called on to arrange some garden flowers you did not furnish. If this "Wedding Bouquet of White Roses and Farleyense. or some maidenhair fern laid with ap- parent carelessness around the basket will add much to the finished effect. The prettiest effect is produced by hav- ing the fronds of the greens protrude from under the centerpiece. is the case you must do so cheerfully, even though you do not receive pay for it. A little favor at a time like this may mean a lot at some future time. I presume you now think you are The Weekly Florists' Review. June 18, 1908. through, but there is still one thing to do, be the decoration a large or small one; namely, ask for the person with whom you were planning the decoration, usually the bride-to-be, and see that she is well pleased with all your work; then you can leave and feel that you have doije a good job. Never sneak out for fear that there might be something to change, or some little complaint to smooth over. Hugo Schroeter. THE LILY DECORATION. The word Easter as applied to lilies of the longiflorum type has become a misnomer through the process of re- tarding the bulbs in cold storage. The result is that lilies now are to be had in all the city markets practically every day in the year and a wedding decora- tion, such as is shown in the accompaiiy- ing illustration, is possible at the brief- est notice. This decoration was put up at the Hotel Metropole, Chicago, by W. J. Smyth. The room is one of some- what elaborate decoration and, there- fore, called for careful treatment at the lighting the decoration effectively. The balconies, which are on each side of the room, were festooned with wild smilax and here and there other vases of lilies were used. The wedding outfits, consisting of kneeling -stools, satin ropes, electroliers, tall vases, etc., are now one of the in- dispensable adjuncts of a decorator's equipment. EUROPEAN TRAVEL. Steamer trade, as it is known, at New York, Boston, Montreal and other ports, has been excellent this spring and at interior cities leading florists have noted that their best customers are starting earlier than usual this year on their an- nual vacations, a considerable number going farther away, to be gone longer than in other summers. It cuts down the florists' June trade. In this connection it is interesting to note that one of the Chicago banks which does a large letter of credit busi- ness reports that in the last thirty days it has sold substantially $300,000 of Wedding Bouquet of Valley and Gittleyas. hands of the florist. The opening at the end of the room was filled with palms and curtained above with strings of as- paragus, the kneeling stool being placed at the foot of the single step, which chanced to be in just the right posi- tion. Tall enameled bamboo vasefl were filled with lilies and above, at the top line of the asparagus screen, were tied three large bunches of lilies, each with its bows and streamers of chiffon. Back of the asparagus screen were electroliers, which did much toward credit to persons going abroad. This volume of business is larger by forty per cen^ than for the corresponding pe- riod last year. Efforts to discover the occasion for such an increase in travel has developed the fact that the buyers of these letters of credit are mostly persons of moderate means, who find their business so dull that they prefer going abroad for a rest and returning in the autumn, rather than remaining at home, where their presence is not re- quired. This situation suggests that the pres- ent business depression is, in a way, ad- ventitious. It is a happening in a long period of prosperity and has not s^ved to cripple generally the fortunes of those engaged in business. On the contrary, the slow-up is furnishing opportunity for vacations which can be enjoyed because of much prosperity and surplus wealth. In one sense the dullness is something of a welcome incident, and the exodus abroad for rest and recreation is accom- panied by the belief that the autumn months will witness a distinct revival in trade. CUTWORMS ON ASTERS. I have planted my asters in a new piece of sod ground and cutworms are attacking them. Please tell me how to destroy the cutworms. H. C. C. Make a mixture of fresh bran, molas- ses, water and Paris green. Use suflBl- cient molasses to sweeten it, water to make it somewhat pasty and poison so that you can see a greenish hue in it. Drop this in small portions on the affect- ed ground. A light dressing of gas lime is excellent where these pests abound, or slaked lime is also helpful. Black soot has been found beneficial by some growers, dusted over the ground. Keep the soil constantly cultivated. This also helps to lessen the attacks of the pests. Hand picking at night is sometimes re- sorted to where the cutworms are un- usually destructive. As a rule, however, the poisoned bran will be found effective. Keep chickens out of the patch where you are .using it. C. W. SMILAX CARRIED OVER. Can smilax be grown on the second year at a profit? I have been putting in new plants every year. If they can be held over, what treatment do they require during the summer? D. B. In our experience, smilax may well be grown at a profit for three successive years. During July or August a slight rest, together with thorough cleaning out of weeds and rubbish, and a top- dressing of well rotted cow manure, should be given. Albert F. Amung. x EUROPEAN LETTER. The rapid progress which the culti- vation of the American carnation has made in England was strongly exempli- fied at the Temple show, London, held during the last week in May. Five or six years ago only one exhibit was on view, namely, half a dozen vases from the pioneer grower and exhibitor, A. F. Dutton. His exhibit was one of the sensations of that show, and he soon had many imitators. One after another took up carnation culture and at this year's Temple show at least a dozen ex- hibitors came forward, filling about 250 feet run of tabling. This is rapid progress — six feet of tabling increased to 250 feet. The exhibits from A. F. Dutton, Iver, Bucks; H. Burnett, Guernsey; Hugh Low & Co., Enfield; Bell & Sheldon, Guernsey; S. Mortimer, Farnham; C. Engellmann, Saffron Walden; W. H. Page, Hampton, and W. H. Lancashire, Guernsey, were characterized by fine, bold flowers, effectively arranged. Roses were superbly shown by Mount Canterbury; Paul & Son, Waltham' Cross; Paul & Son, Cheshunt; F. Cant & Co., and B. R. Cant, Colchester, and f ■.•*• .■••,/. June 18, 1908.

CREOSOTE IN GREENHOUSES. ^ ; Apropos of the discussion on the sub- ject of creosote in the Review, we beg to say that we have had experience with creosote in our greenhouses and have no hesitation whatever in saying that it is most injurious to plant life. Some years ago we coated the side boards of a bot- tom bench and the bottom boards of another bench with creosote, and the smilax and ferns that were growing in this house were rendered entirely use- less. The plants would not make any growth and had the appearance of hav- ing been burnt with tobacco smoke. State Nurseey Co. MEALY BUG ON COLEUS. "Would like to know what to put on coleus plants outdoors in beds in the sum- mer to keep the mealy bug off. They practically destroy coleus here during the montji of August. J. "W. Y. We cannot recommend anything which will kill mealy bug on coleus and not, at the same time, practically destroy the plants. Coleus will not ^tand any insecticide of an oily nature, as the foli- age is easily burned. Force of water through a spray nozzle will keep the pest in check, but this is liable to break the shoots to some extent. Coleus are notori- ously dirty plants. When bug-infested indoors, it is the best policy to destroy them. Try to set out young plants which are clean, if you continue to use them, but my advice would be to drop them and try plants which do not harbor mealy bug. C. W. 8 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ JCNB 18, 1908. CARNATION NOTES.-EAST. Toppins. In topping plants through the sum- mer, one should keep constantly in mind the three chief objects for which the operation is carried on. Stated briefly, these objects are the conserving of plant energy, promotion of shapeliness in habit and encouragement of continuity in blooming. It is obvious that if young stock is allowed to bloom during the summer months, we can expect but indifferent results the following winter, under forced conditions. But topping does not consist of merely removing buds as formed, neither can a certain day in the week or month be set apart in which to make a wholesale massacre. The removal of a large quantity of growth from a plant at one time serious- ly impairs that very desirable property of the carnation we so much wish to pre- serve— continuity in blooming — without reckoning the severe check given. Study the Habit of Each Variety. Each variety's natural habit of growth must be taken into consideration. Those of neat, bushy form by nature, require little effort on the part of the grower, while those of the sprawly, let-me-lie- down sort need close attention and no little study to manage them well. All, however, can be trained in the way they should grow. To break off buds or shoots in a hit or miss fashion is to pave the way for unwieldy, misshapen plants, difficult to handle at housing time. Go over the field at least every other day, cutting back those shoots quite well advanced toward formation of a bud. Topping too soon is liable to cause a break of numerous weak growths. Bemember that growth in the field is different from that under glass. Field growth gives less length between joints, consequently plants can be cut back somewhat higher than if growing inside. We prefer not to do any topping dur- ing rainy periods or immediately after. "We choose, instead, bright, sunny days. Under no circumstances pull out the center of a shoot, as this is not only pre- mature but an invitation for trouble. The Use of the Knife. The idea has been advanced that the use of a knife in removing tops is liable to communicate disease from one plant to another, but, while this may be pos- sible, I confess to being skeptical in re- gard to it. We always use a sharp knife and recommend others to do likewise. We know an open plant wound af- fords an excellent lodging pla^e for germs, ever present in the atmosphere, but it seems doubtful that the sap from a plant to all appearances healthy, al- though perhaps not absolutely so, will in any way affect one in every way vig- orous, and certainly an admittedly dis- eased plant has no place in the patch. On a brf^t day the clean cut of a knife soon closes against intruders. Keep the cultivator going, going, go- ing. Geo. S. Osboen. CARRYING PLANTS OVER. I intend to carry over some old carna- tion plants of a new variety. When is it advisable to cut back the longer bloom- ing shoots? If before replanted, then how soon? If after, kindly state the time. I should like to hear from one who has tried this successfully. E. O. Carrying over carnation plants is like carrying over rose plants, only worse. While it can be done and is done suc- cessfully, occasionally, I would not ad- vise anyone to depend on such stock alto- gether for his season's cut blooms. In fact, it is seldom that such stock gives as good blooms as strong young stock will give. They will, however, give a fine lot of splendid cuttings, if the plants have come through in good shape. Preparations for this should have begun several months ago, instead of now. If the plants have been blooming up to now, the chances of success are against them. They should have been cut back hard in March or April, so that the. plants could have made breaks along the older wood and made fine, bushy plants by this time. Then trans- planting would be an easy matter. But with all the season's growth on them, transplanting could hardly be done suc- cessfully, and to cut them back hard now would mean to kill many of the plants. This is the most trying time of the year on inside stock and the plants ought to be growing vigorously as they enter this period. We frequently carry over seedling plants the second year, but they invariably have been shortened back to induce breaking for cuttings, and at the end of the cutting or propagating season the plants are again gone over and trimmed into shape, with a view to get- ting a lot of young breaks to grow through the summer. You do not give much data on the con- dition of your plants, but I will presume that they have been blooming up to now. In such case, I would not attempt re- planting at all. I would rake off all the loose material from the bed and scrape out as much soil between the rows as seems safe without injuring the roots too '^ much, and then replace with a compost made of two parts good soil and one part old manure. This will practically answer the same purpose as transplanting, with- out being such a severe ordeal for the plants. In fact, there will be no danger whatever to the plants. Before you do this, clean off all the dead foUage, and if the plants are at all crowded, cut out some of the growth so the air can get between the plants readily. I would not cut back any of the blooming shoots, but as you cut the blooms do it with a view to getting good breaks to follow. There will be less cropping next season. Keeping the plants properly supported and free from red spider will be your most trying problems. The former will be found essential if you would succeed in the latter. Abundant ventilation also is essential. If you must syringe fre- quently for spider, which should be done thoroughly whenever it is done, you will do well to keep on hand a can of Bor- deaux mixture. By applying this once in about each week or ten days you will be 'comparatively safe from the spot dis- eases, such as fairy ring, Septoria Dian- thi, etc. This is a great preparation and is put up for us now, by the supply men, in such convenient form that every car- nation grower should keep on hand a can of it. By keeping the can tightly corked, its properties are preserved for a considerable length of time. After the heat of the summer is over, handle these carried over plants much the same as you do your young plants, except that more feeding will be neces- sary to sustain the quaS.ty of the cut. Do not put much shade on the glass over them, but a little will do them good dur- ing July and August. A. F. J. B.

What we want is plants that will stand everything without being discouraged — those that will be prolific and sure bloomers. We had the most remarkable spring on record. April and May changed places and the mischief was to pay. Warm days brought out the buds and it seemed as if we would have flowers in a few days. Then, early in May, we had a succession, not of frosts, but of freezes which froze the ground. It was a fearful test. Then came mild days to encourage them. Many recovered and we thought they would be all right. Then a bitter freeze caught everything unawares and we asked, Can any living thing endure this? Our old favorites gave it up: Of 1,000 Festiva Maxima, not a dozen decent blooms. The faithful L'Esperence, our dependence for Decoration day, gave up the struggle. Calls poured in, but most of the peonies were nipped in the bud. Yet there were some that just gloried in tribulation and paid no attention what- ever to little trisds like those. Golden Harvest maintained its never-fail rep- utation and ought to stand away at the front — hardy everywhere in Manitoba Junk 18, 1908.

Theodore Faller, one of the well-known florists of St. Louis, died at his home, 4901 Natural Bridge road, in that city, June 10, after a long illness with dropsy. Mr. Falle* was at one time a prominent member of the Florists' Club. He leaves a wife and four children, also a host of friends, to mourn his loss. Mrs. B. Schramm. Mrs. Catherine Schramm, wife of Ber- nard Schramm, the veteran florist of Toledo, O., died suddenly of heart fail- ure at rftidnight, June 12, at the family residence, 712 Baker street. Several months ago her health began to fail, but she had been feeling better for several weeks, and was about the house as usual the day before her death. Mrs. Schramm was born in Bavaria, Germany, and was 68 years of age. She had been a resident of Toledo ever since her marriage to Mr. Schramm, forty-sev- en years ago. Of the nine children born to them six survive — Miss Minnie Schramm, Mrs. C. Eansch, Mrs. Jos. Keat- ing, Mrs. Frank Weiss, Charles and Bernard Schramm, Jr. A son, Anthony Schramm, died three years ago. She leaves also thirty-five grandchil- dren and one great-grandchild. Mrs. Schramm was a devoted member of St. Mary's parish for nearly fifty years, and of the Married Women's sodality. The funeral was held Tuesday, June 15, at 8 o'clock, with solemn requiem mass, from St. Mary's church. PROPAGATING BOXWOOD. Kindly let me know if boxwood is taken from cuttings and at what time of the year they are planted. A. H. , The tree box, Buxus sempervirens, is best propagated from cuttings of mature wood, six inches in length, in September or October. In the northern states these require the protection of a coldframe over winter. Make the soil san^y and insert firmly, keeping them shaded and well supplied with water. The dwarf box used so much for edg- ings for formal gardens is better propa- gated by division of the plants. Just, as they start to grow, tear them in pieces with the hand and prune off long, thick roots with a pair of shears. Plant deeply and tramp firmly. Given a good soak- ing of water at the start, these cuttings will need no further attention unless a dry season ensues, when an occasional soaking will help them. Pieces pulled off without roots will grow if kept moist- ened for a time, but it is usually possible to secure a little root on each cutting. C. W. • , .

One of the first things to be done after {>lanting out is to get the plants perfect- y clean from black fly. Sometimes there are lots of ladybugs around and they will do the work very nicely, but, fail- ing these, smoking must be resorted to. Dusting with tobacco dust, or spraying with any of the liquid preparations, does not seem to do the job thoroughly. In my experience the best thing to use is the fumigating kind of tobacco dust. Have everything arranged, and at night- fall close up the house and light the dust. This will give a gentle smoke all night and, if the ventilators are opened early in the morning and the plants sprayed well, no harm will result. If one night does not kill all the flies, use the dust a second time, and after the second application the plants will, gen- erally speaking, keep entirely clean all summer. Too many growers are careless about this fly, thinking that it does little harm, but it must live off the plant and of ne- cessity detracts from its general health. Staking. The staking of the plants should be at- tended to before they get top-heavy and begin to fall over the bench. Most growers have their own system of sup- ports. The one I like best is an iron stake for each plant, which i^ supported by wires running lengthwise over the bed, one wire catching the row of stakes about halfway up and another wire catch- ing them near the top. When the stakes have this double tie, if the wires have been drawn tight, a solid support is secured, to which the plants can be tied with no danger of their being pulled over by heavy syringing or getting top- beavy when growth is completed. Many growers run two wires parallel with each row of plants, one down at the bed and one well up in the air, run- ning strings between, to which the plants are tied. This is all right for the aver- age run of plants, but if you want exhi- bition stock and a perfectly straight stem, it is better to have a rigid support, 80 that after the plant has made a break it can be closely, tied. Spraying. Spraying should be diligently attend- ed to on hot days. While the beds uo not need to be kept too wet, but in fact are much better a little on the dry side until the soil is full of roots, yet the at- mosphere should be kept well charged with moisture. Spray the plants and roof and paths and everywhere several times a day on bright days. This keeps down the temperature and the plants positively revel in such treatment. There is nothing like it for putting fine foliage on the plants, and it will keep them clean and in a soft, growing condition. Ventilation. Keep the ventilators open night and day, likewise the doors, and never close them at this season of the year, unless it be to smoke, or unless a storm is brew- ing. A house equipped with side ven- tilators, as well as top ones, will grow better stock than one not so furnished. A close, stuffy atmosphere is bad for the chrysanthemum, and in houses where there is no side ventilation I favor tak- ing out a row of glass, if no better way presents itself of getting a current of air through the plants. ' Stock in Sand* Stock in sand should be watched and, as soon as it is rooted, should be taken out. Cuttings run weak and sickly very soon if not handled at once. If the house is ready for planting, cuttings can be taken right from the sand and planted. If they are shaded by a pot during the hottest part of the day, they will take right hold and come along just as well as potted plants. If the house is not ready, there are lots of frames in most florists' establish- ments that are at liberty when the bed- ding stock is gone, and no better place for young stock can be found. Charles H. Totty. TO POISON ANTS. What would you recommend io keep ants out of seed flats? We have con- siderable trouble here with ants in seed flats, particularly salvias and tomatoes. We have had them take all the salvia and tomato seed out of flats in one night. J. W. Y. Secure some cyanide of potassium, mix with powdered sugar and drop near the haunts of the ants in the evening. This is the most effective poison we have tried. Use great care in handling the cyanide, as it is deadly poison. The ants are fond of this mixture. , C. W. CARRYING OVER ROSES. Will you please tell a beginner how to carry over a house of roses. Brides and Maids, that have been in the benches one year? When should I begin to dry them off, and how dry should I keep them? Dry enough to make all the leaves fall off? Do roses require shade at any time during summer? Please give explicit details in regard to cutting them back, stating when it should be done and when they should be started again. A. L. K. This method of culture requires more care, skill and labor than young stock and, unless carried out by an expert, the results are seldom satisfactory. Some experts who have adopted this method have had wonderfully good results, but the majority of growers are content to experiment along these lines on a very limited scale. If the plants are in solid benches, be- gin to dry off at once and do it very gradually, never allowing them to be- come so dry as to cause wilting of even the young growth. This process may require three or four weeks, according to weather, quality of soil and other causes. If the plants are on raised benches, the same condition can be reached in about half the time. Remove as much of the top soil from between the plants as can be done 'without destroying the roots; then fill up the space with a rich compost. The compost should be of about one part good cow manure to three parts loamy sod, with a generous sprinkling of bone meal. It is a good practice to give a good sprinkling of air- slaked lime before applying the mulch. The whole mass should then get a thor- • ; ■i.-.^v June 18, 1908. The Weekly Florists* Review: It ough soaking and the temperature be kept as low as conditions will allow. Syringing should be practiced every- day, not only with the object of keeping spider in check, but to keep the atmos- phere in a proper condition of moistness. After root action begins, all the small, strawy wood should be removed and the stronger canes cut back to at most four eyes. From thence ordinary cultural di- rections apply. EiBES. THE ROSE CHAFER. Will you kindly tell me what kind of beetle the enclosed is, and also a rem- edy for it? It destroys the outside roses, eating holes in the blooms and buds. C. C. S. This insect is the rose chafer, or Ma- crodactylus subspinosus. It makes its appearance early in summer and feeds upon the flowers and foliage. There is but one brood in the year. The insect lives in the beetle stage about a month. As yet no practicable method of de- stroying it in its breeding places has been found. Syringing with hot water, at or near the boiling point, will destroy ,them without causing injury to the plants. Spraying the bushes with the following mixture will also aflford relief: One pound Paris green to fifty gallons of Bordeaux mixture. The insects, being very sluggish in the early morning, can easily be collected and destroyed. Eibes. EEL WORMS IN ROSE BED. I have a solid bed of roses that is af- fected with eel worms. Would it be safe to remove a foot of the soil, replace with new soil and then plant with new plants? Would it be safe to plant roses in the same hoilse in a bed across the walk, with Bew plants? Do the "pesky varmints" attack grafted stock as readily as the un- grafted? E. C. E. Since eel worms are present in all soils, in manures and frequently even in water, it is impossible to get rid of them without cooking the soil and manure and boiling the water. It is a rare occurrence to see a house, which has been planted with healthy stock and properly cared for afterwards, affected with the pest. It is always safe to avoid planting young stock taken from infested plants, but I have never seen any evil effects following the use of infested soil where cultural methods were perfect. The use of the Manetti stock for grafting has certainly had a deterrent effect on the spread of this pest. In fact, such stocks seem to be immune from its ravages. • Eibes. OIL as: A PRESERVATIVE. We have not tried creosote in our houses, but we have tried linseed oil, and hare found it a great help in preserving wood, and if it did any damage to the plants we did not discover it. As it read- ily dries in, the odor leaves it and it acts somewhat ks a priming of paint. While we have never done it, we think that it would pay to paint all new benches, both frame and boards, as lum- ber is getting to be at a premium, and good lumber can hardly be had at any price. J.

There is nothing gained in sowing cinerarias before the early part of July. Seed' started in spring gives unsatis- factory results. The plants simply pine away during the hot months. Cinerarias love cool treatment at all stages of their growth and their really rapid develop- ment starts with the advent of cold nights in September. In sowing the seed select a bench in a north house, or, bet- ter still, a frame having a north aspect. Cover the pan with a sheet of glass and lay a sheet of heavy paper over this. Leave a shutter over the sash to still further reduce drying out. A compost of leaf -mold, sand and fine charcoal will be found suitable. Sowings of cine- rarias can be made until the middle of August, but if you want plants early in the winter start your seed not later than early July. Buy the best strain of seed you can procure, in preference to any cheap mixture. Begonia Incamata. Begonia incamata, the useful midwin- ter blooming begonia, is worthy of more extended culture. More vigorous in habit than B. Gloire de Lorraine, it is also paler pink in color, but a shade that is attractive. It is some time after the flowering season ends before really good propagating shoots are obtainable. Plen- ty of these are to be had now, and there is still ample time to root and grow these along into nice plants in 5-inch or 6-inch pots for sales next Christmas. Freesias. Your flats and pans of freesias, which will have lost their foliage some weeks ago, should be shaken out when the bed- ding-out rush is over. If you do not cut your flowers with too long stems, these home-grown bulbs are superior to any you can buy, either from Bermuda or California. In taking out the bulbs, place the little offsets by themselves. These^ . if sown moderately thick in flats, will make good flowering bulbs for another se4S0n. To secure freesias for Christmas, a time when fancy prices may be had, the bulbs should be gotten into the soil during the first half of July. Give them a good soaking after, plant- ing. Stand them where the sun cannot strike them, where they will not dry out too rapidly, and allow them to dry out well before applying more water. In the way of varieties, refracta alba is still the dominant variety. Ninety-five per cen^ sold as alba turn out to be yel- low— nothing more nor less than Leicht- linii. Few firms carry the true, pure white form, which is nrach better than the golden substitute commercially. Fisch- er's Purity is by long odds the finest freesia on the market. No one who has grown this sort will want to bother with any other sorts. In Europe there are some promising hybrid freesias, which some day, when lower priced, will become popular here. F. Amethyst, lilac mauve. and F. Armstrongi, pink, found wild in Cape Colony a few years ago, are the best of these. Begonia Rex. Sections of leaves of Begonia Eex root rapidly during the hot summer months. Laid under a bench on a bed of moss or placed in the regular propagating bench, they will speedily make roots. Al- though not much seen on the markets, these handsome begonias meet with a con- siderable sale. They are excellent house plants and, planted under the shade of trees, they make splendid leaves out- doors if the ground is rich and fairly moist. Plants when potted will succeed well in a coldframe, if well shaded. Vallota Ptirpurea. The brUliant but comparatively little known Scarborough, Vallota purpurea, is one of the finest bulbous plants for pot culture for summer flowering. Not in- frequently we see pots of these on the doorsteps or piazzas of quite humble cot- tages, so finely flowered as to excite our admiration. These vallota flower better when well potbound. They want a cool house and can be grown outdoors alto- gether from June to October. In the way of compost, fibrous loam, broken charcoal, sand, and a fourth part of old and dried cow 'manure suit them. There is now a pure white vallota in Europe. Could it be propagated and placed on the market at a moderate price, it would jump into instant favor commercially, flo\frer- ing as it would when choice white flowers are decidedly scarce. ~~f Peperomia Argyrea. Peperomia argyrea may be propagated cither by root division or from the leaves in the same way as Eex begonias. Whole leaves on which a portion of stem been left should be inserted so th^ the leaves touch the sind, GutMie central parts of the leaves and/drop a little sand over the same. K€ep well watered and shaded and "piy^ff as soon as the little plants appear. These peperomias come in very useful for making up table centerpieces, for filling up the vases of tkll growing plants and for dishes of mixed tropical subjects. In winter they require a temperature of 55 to 69 de- grees, but in summer will thrive in any greenhouse or frame. Amaryllis. Young plants of amaryllis can be ma- terially strengthened by* planting out- doors. Give them a location in the full- est sunshine and where, during dry weath- er, a soaking from the hose can be given. A mulching of old manure is also helpful. Keep the ground well stirred after heavy rains or artificial waterings. Plants with bulbs of flowering size should have a bench in a sunny house, in preference to outdoor culture. Do not withhold the water supply, as the foliage should re- (Continued on paRe 66) •^/■■.K\, tl The Weekly Florists' R^ew. June 18, 1908. THE FLORISTS' REVIEW G. L. GRANT, Editor and Manaqkb.

This is the season to push coHections; if you don't get your money now you may have to wait until your people come back from their summer vacations. It is stated that the Commercial Club of St. Paul will back the Twin Cities Florists' Club in an invitation to hold the S. A. F. convention at St. Paul. A SCHEDULE of prizes has been issued for the "first grand annual exhibition of dahlias," to be given by the New England Dahlia Society at Tremont Temple, Boston, September 17 to 19. Maurice Field, 5 Union street, Boston, is secretary. As indicating more graphically than anything else could do how close together Europe and America are being brought, mail posted in London Saturday was delivered in Chicago one week later. It came over on the last trip of the Lusi- tania, which made the run from Liver- pool to New York in less than five days. According to Bradstreet 's, the prices of commodities in general are now lower than at any time since July 1, 1904. Bradstreet 's figure that there has been a decrease of 15.4 per cent from the high point which was reached March 1, 1907, and they also display a decline of 14.1 per cent from June 1 of that year. Florists looking at the wholesale prices of cut flowers will subscribe to the belief that Bradstreet 's make no overestimate of the decline, but when it comes to the things a florist buys, from food to fertil- izer, it looks different; in fact, except on greenhouse glass, the declines seem easily counterbalanced by the advances.

Referring to the recently issued sched- ule for the first annual exhibition of the New England Dahlia Society, Secretary Maurice Fuld says: "You will note that we have at last settled all difficulties in regard to varieties of dahlias, which have created considerable argument in regard to what classes they belong, and if you will kindly refer to classes No. 86 and 87 you will readily see that we have forever settled these arguments." The classes in the schedule read as follows : Class No. 86. Giant show dahlias, in- cluding the following varieties: Mrs. Eoosevelt, Gettysburg, W. W. Eawson, Governor GuUd, Grand Duke Alexis, Gen- eral Miles, Le Colosse, Dr. Kirtland, Cu- ban Giant, Meteor, Professor Mansfield and any others similar in size and form. Class No. 87. Cactus dahlias ^with coarse florets, including the following varieties : Mrs. Charles' Turner, Master Carl, Mrs. J. P. Mace, Les Alli6^, Mis- tress Scrase Dickens, Rosea Superba, Purity, Octopus, Nil Desperandum, The Czar, Zona, Due d 'Orleans, Die Unschuld, Lovely Eynsford, Prince of Yellows, Go- liath, Miss Gretta Park and any others of similar form. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market The market has shown considerable improvement this week. The extreme heat at the first of last week made so strong an impression that, although cool weather came Wednesday, it was Satur- day before the market began to recover from the effect of the flood of soft stock. The week on the whole was one of the poorest of the season and led to many growers throwing out their stock. With cooler weather, this has led to a decided reduction in the supply this week. There still is an abundance of stock for all ordinary requirements and prices have not advanced; the only dif- ference is that most of the stock now can be moved through the legitimate chan- nels and there is less need for sacrifice sales, and waste has practically been eliminated. It is, however, still necessary to dump some of > the white carnations and the growers of this class of stock would do well to save express charges and start preparation for next year. The principal call continues to be for wedding flowers, but school closings are making their annual recurrence felt. Beauties are in good demand. The sup- ply would be adequate if the quality were up to standard, but many of the Beau- ties are so poor that the retailers will not use them, and there is a strong de- mand for anything that is really first- class. Of other roses, Kaiserin, Killar- ney and Richmond have the call. Maid and Bride are small aijd the former is off color. The receipts of carnations, while re- duced, still are large. Those growers who have been able to retain the quality are getting satisfactory returns, but the demand is not for poor flowers and the lower grades have not profited to any great extent from the shortening in, sup- ply. Indoor asters are offered in t fair quantity and are preferred to poor white carnations. There has been a stiff market for val- June 18, 1008.

The season of the peas under glass is nearly over and, while considerable quan- tities still are received in the market, only a small proportion have long stems. **rhese sell on sight, for the greater part of the good stock is set aside for ship- ping orders. The sweet pea growers cer- tainly have had as good a season as any- one and the increasing popularity of the sweet pea gives indications of a still further increase in supply next season. The worst glut in the market at pres- ent is of Easter lilies. Practically every wholesale house has arrangements for a continuous supply of lilies throughout the year, and when all happen to begin cutting from batches at the same time the result is a congestion which deprives the growers of their profit. That is the present condition. The local crop of peonies has been cut. All the fresh stock now received is from the north and little is coming in. While a number who have stored peonies in previous seasons have not done so this year, several new lots have come in and been stored. There is likely to be a sup- {)ly of peonies as long as the demand asts, but as to how the bulk of the stock wiU come out of storage, no one can say. There seem to be only a few who know how to handle peonies for storage with any certainty as to what the result will be. Year after year these few handlers have stock that gives uni- form satisfaction, while that of most of the others does little more than depress the market. This year the conditions for storing peonies were thought to be a little less favorable than usual. At pres- ent the best stock is bringing 75 cents per dozen, with plenty at three bunches for $1 and quantities that buyers will not take at that figure. There is an excellent call for smilax and strings of asparagus, out the de- mand for other green goods is light. Floods at Kansas City are doing a whole lot more to hurt this market than the republican national convention is do- ing to help it. The high water has in- terrupted transportation to such an ex- tent that the express companies refuse to accept shipments of perishable stock for Kansas City or any point in or be- yond the flooded district. The extra demand from the convention does not counterbalance this loss; about all that Chicago florists will get out of the con- vention crowds will have first passed through the hands of other local people. The Case of Perle* A number of buyers have been disap- pointed recently at their inability to se- cure Perle roses without notice. Last week good iSeries commanded 10 cents each over the counter, so short was the supply and so insistent the demand. There is only a limited demand for yel- low roses in this market, except during the season of school closings; then they are wanted for use where yellow is the class color. It does not pay the large growers to plant many Perle for the in- termittent demand through the season, and consequently they are not to be had in quantity in June. Anyone who wants Perles should order in advance; then they usually are to be had. Boxwood. Several wholesalers find themselves with quantities of boxwood, for which there is no sale and on which cold stor- age charges are piling up. There can be no doubt that the wholesalers overbought on this specialty this year and will be cautious in loading up with it another season. The first of the year there was a good demand, but lately there has been no sale whatever. Some of the stock in storage is still of usable quality, but E. C. Amling says the fact is that boxwood became so generally used that its sudden popularity flattened out com- pletely and nobody wants it any more. Saturday Mail Delivery. June 13 the Chicago postoffice, with- out notice to the wholesalers, began its summer schedule of Saturday mail de- liveries. The result was that a number of orders intended for shipment Satur- day afternoon were not received until the regular Sunday trip was made to the postoffice. Buyers should remember that in fu- ture there will be no mail delivery after 1 o'clock on Saturday. If a mail order Caution !

In Iowa. r. J. Olsan, of Ames, la., is in town this week to settle a dispute with the John C. Moninger Co. Mr. Olsan claims the local firm did not make his last houses as large as they should have been, while the Moninger people assert the error was made by Mr. Olsan himself, for they wanted to make the houses larger and would have done so but for his ob- jection. A compromise was reached by Mr. Olsan leaving an order for two more houses 25x100. He says that he cannot get along without additional space. * * We hear that business is not good, ' ' said Mr. Olsan, "but out in Iowa the- florists sell everything they can produce, right down to the bottom.

Philipp has just completed a roof garden decoration at the Illinois Athletic Club. Large window-boxes have been placed around the coping, with trellises ten feet high and connected at the top. The boxes have been planted with Cobaea scandens and Clematis paniculata for quick effect. A number of bay trees and boxwoods are used among the tables on me roof. Bowling for both ladies and gentlemen will start June 23, at Mussey's alleys, under the auspices of the pastimes com- mittee of the Chicago Florists ' Club. This is to qualify for the S. A. F. convention teams. A peony decoration at the opening of the Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co. store last week attracted considerable attention. Peter Eeinberg returned June 18 from a short trip to New York as a member of a council committee to attend the ded- icatory exercises on the new steamship Chicago. • "Wietor Bros, report that they have had a surprising call for young stock of Richmond rose; it has been far heavier than last year. They say there also has been an excellent demand for Kaiserin. George Fisher, who is the local buyer for the H. A. Fisher Co., spent last week at the firm's main store at Kalamazoo. N. C. Moore & Co. have found the wholesale plant business a profitable de- 'partment and are in the market for a carload of small pots, with which to ex- tend that feature of their business next season. Miss Nellie C. Moore has been suffering with neuralgia for a fortnight. Local wholesalers have been notified of the financial difficulty of a Greek named E. Mirras at St. Paul, who bought considerable quantities of stock in this market. It is stated his liabilities are $16,000, but wholesalers here for once are not interested to a large extent. Frank Beu planted one house with carnations before the house was glazed, and says the stock is making splendid progress. C. L. Washburn received his new Stud- ebaker automobile June 16. This was a birthday present for his son, Ned Wash- bum, who has just completed his course in the agricultural college at Madison, Wis., and who will now actively enter the business of Bassett & Washburn. Percy Jones says that the local buy- ers all call for valley, Kaiserin and peonies; there is no inquiry whatever even as to the price of Harrisii. Zech & Mann are handling Matt Mann's annual crop of red gladioli. These n«ver fail to go well and are to be seen in the window displays of the lead- ing retailers. C. H. Fisk says that June business is not so good as last year, but a little bet- ter than it was two years ago. He thinks the retail department of the business should be satisfactory to all. Within the last week George Eeinberg has practically doubled his stock of cat- tleyas, having received 1,000 plants of Mossise, gigas and one or two others. Poehlmann Bros. Co. has started the erection of four houses, about 28x350. These are for carnations and will com- prise the firm's addition for this season. Robert Johnstone is rusticating at Nunda, 111. It is stated that the Chicago Carna- tion Co. has concluded to discontinue the growing of rodes and will next season de- vote all its glass to carnations. A. A. Sawyer has 15,000 plants of his new aster in the field and says the growth is ten days ahead of last year. Fred Schramm, of Park Ridge, has^ put in a new gasoline pumping enginlb that works directly into his water pipes and gives him good direct pressure, in- stead of the tank pressure he has used heretofore. Charlie Erne, of E. H. Hunt's force, carries his hand in a sling — three boUs. Kennicott Bros. Co. says the E. Wien- hoeber Co. is using a good many auratum lilies, because of their novelty. An Evanston grower supplies them, appar- ently the only lot grown under glass for this market. This is the week of roses on the wooded island at Jackson park. Last Sunday, June 14, there was a record crowd there. Quite a few plants died out and the garden has been fully as good in other years. The A. L. Randall Co. says there is a good call for valley and for Adiantum Croweanum. Vaughan & Sperry say that the cold storing of miscellaneous lots of peonies is not all it is cracked up to be and that sooner or later a good many wholesalers will come to the conclusion that poor 7 stock doesn't become any better by payr^ ing a month 's storage charges on it. Tho\^ only peonies it pays to store are the very best; the quicker the others are sold the more they will bring. The E. F.

Kuhl, Pekin, 111.; Mr. Heite, of the W. L. Kock Flower Co., Kansas City; L. F. Dintelman and A. S. Halstead, Belleville, III.; also a large number of nurserymen on their way home from the Milwaukee convention. SPRINGFIELD, ILL. Local florists are planning to give the finest flower show ever held in the city next November. Plans are now making by the local club for the affair, which will probably be held in the ar- senal. The event is arranged for the pur- pose of demonstrating to the citizens of Springfield what a showing the "Flow- er City" of the state can make when the great abundance of blooms are brought together. The show will be open for three days, afternoon and evening, and a nominal sum will be charged for admission. It is probable that the pro- ceeds will go to the charitable institu- tions of the city. Frank A. Friedley has been appointed chairman of the ex- ecutive committee, which includes A. C. Brown and Henry Drake. The event will be the first of its kind to be held in the capital city, the flower show of last summer having been in charge of the merchants. The committee and oflScers of the Flo- rists' Club are planning to make the show in November a great success and if qo it will be held annually. The of- ficers include: President, Carl Buth; vice-president, R. T. Donnell; secretary, Frank A. Friedley, and treasurer, George Van Horn. NEW YORK. The Market The usual midsummer stagnation, which is recognized as inevitable in July and August, has arrived ahead of time. With European travel, weddings and com- mencements it was fondly hoped that June would prove the best month of the year. It is to date about the worst in the wholesale section, and nothing can now lift it from the slough of despond. It will go down in wholesale history as the most disastrous and discouraging ex- perience cut flower growers and whole- salers have ever known. There is no market, is the response to one's solici- tous inquiries. Price is no object, never were such low values at this season, and yet the voluine of retail trade does not increase. When the weddings and school closings are over, there will be nothing left but lethargy and resignation. The lesson of patience has been a severe one and all have suffered. But the end of depression will come in due time; the future is bright with promise. The grand harvests, the shelving of presidential un- certainty, the reopening of the banks and the return of public confldence all tend to the absolute dependence that may surely be entertained by all in the good times coming; wait a little longer. In the meantime New York wholesaledom will rest on its oars and recuperate. Few good Beauties are arriving. The limited quantity insures a good figure for the best, but the most of the Beauty stock is anything but beautiful. This applies to all rose arrivals. Quality is deteriorating and the supply is abundant. The peony flood is over. There were millions of them while they lasted. The hot, dry weather spoiled most of them, so that the few arrivals June 15 were small and off color. This week will see their finish. They made a great noise while they lasted. You could hardly hear the other flowers at all and they did great service in the wedding decorations. White orchids are still wanted at good prices. The other colors and kinds are abundant and reasonable — very. There seems to be no end to the carnations. Every wholesaler has his place full of them. There are no prices. I saw 10,- 000 go for $25 June 15. Gladioli become more plentiful daily. Next week the southern stock will be here. That means the limit in low rates — 50 cents per hun- dred. Sweet peas are scarcer and the selected stock sells readily. Lilies do not improve; $2 to $3 per hundred June 15 was the prevailing quotation. Valley holds because of the June weddings. The Belmont funeral caused quite a demand the last of the week for orchids and valley. Over 100 beautiful floral offerings were sent to the church and house. The passage of the racing bills at Al- bany, which ended the betting ring in New York and threw thousands out of situations, will be felt by the leading re- tailers heavily, these patrons of the sport being among the best spenders for flowers in the city, and always reliable cash customers.

The union meeting of the American Rose Society and the Horticultural So- ciety of New York was held at Bronx park June 10 and 11. This joint dem- onstration was naturally expected to ma- terialize both a large attendance and a large exhibition, but it did not. In fact, if J. H. Troy, of New Eochelle, had for- gotten to come, the rose show would have required much less room. But the genial Englishman saved the day. He made a splendid display and did it ar- tistically, using fancy vases, hampers and baskets in his arrangement. He well de- served the F. R. Pierson silver cup. Sil- ver medals were awarded W. A. Manda and Dr. Van Fleet for exhibits of "Wi- churaiana hybrids. Other exhibitors were F. R. Pierson, of Tarrytown, collections of peonies, outdoor roses and sweet peas of many new and popular varieties; R. Vincent & Sons, of White Marsh, Md., geraniums, over thirty varieties; Harry Turner, of Castle Gould, L. I., Malmai- son carnations; Lager & Hurrell and Julius Roehrs Co., orchids. Mr. Troy staged nearly fifty varieties of^oses. W. C. Barry, who 'was annoupced as the lecturer of the occasion, was not present, nor was his lecture reajK Leon- ard Barron made a stereopticon exhibit. P. O'Mara was chairman and an- nounced the fall exhibition of flowers and plants at the Museum of Natural History building. Eightieth street and Columbus avenue, November 17 to 19. The conclusion arrived at by the attend- ance was that Bronx park is too far from the beaten track to draw the in- quisitive New Yorker. The Museum of Natural History is quite central, easily reached and quickly from downtown, and ample in room and convenience for a big show, if this city ever can be woke up to its privileges flwicultural again. Ed. Roehrs, secretary of the orchid sec- tion, is strongly in favor of a more cen- tral spot for orchid exhibits in the fu- ture. Vaxiotts Notes. Thomas Wholgren, head gardener for Burden, of Westbury, L. I., is again a hero. Last winter he was severely wounded defending his employer's home against burglars and last week he saved the lives of two of the Burden children and their governess in overcoming a mad Newfoundland dog, being severely bitten himself, his hand badly lacerated. Mr. Wholgren was taken at once to the Pas- teur Institute for treatment. B. S. Slinn, Jr., arrived at Rotterdam June 17 and will make a tour of Europe this summer. Mr. and Mrs. Jordan, of the J. M.

July 1 will be especially interesting this year because of the New York Flo- f rists' Club's annual outing. Everything promises the greatest success thexclub has ever enjoyed. The gardeners' societies of Tarrytown, Madison, Orange and Nas- sau County have been invited to partici- pate, lu fact, delegations from all hor- ticultural clubs or societies in and near New York will be cordially welcomed and an opportunity for fraternal reunion is here provided that should draw the largest crowd the club has ever enter- tained. The sympathy of the trade is tendered the Johnston brothers, of the Johnston Heating Co., in the death of their other brother, George, whose early demise is regretted by a large number of friends. Mrs. Frank K. Frank, wife of the flo- rist at 1561 Third avenue, is recovering from a serious illness. Mr. Frank takes a gloomy view of the retail business, be- cause of the general depression that has so adversely aflfected the wage-earning class of the east side, and sees little hope of improvement before the return of general prosperity. June 16 and 20 the New York Cut Flower Exchange will distribute its an- nual dividend of ten per cent to its stock- holders, a most satisfactory showing after so strenuous a season. E. Bonnot, .the retail florist of Jersey City, and of the firm of Bonnot Bros., in the Coogan building, leaves with his fam- ily next week for a summer in France. Joseph Levy, with John Seligman, says he is writing the music for a new song, with words by Mr. Saltford, on "The Mysteries of the Wholesale Business. ' ' There should be a wide demand for this music, especially if it develops the solv- ing of the problems. The music this year will have to be written in a minor key. The Brooklyn Retail Florists ' Associa- tion is now well established and Secretary W. A. Phillips announces the next meet- ing for Monday evening, June 22, at the Imperial. There are over 200 retail flo- rists in the City of Churches. With har- mony and cooperation, this society should number every man and woman in the business and prove a wonderful power for mutual benefit. The New York whole- salers have found their association of enormous benefit. The same principle will work in the retail department and in other branches of the business, creating and maintaining harmony on the basis of fair play and square dealing and gener- ous consideration of each other's welfare. The plant growers also have demon- strated the value of getting together. As already announced, they will celebrate by a family outing on Staten Island June 25. Their regular meetings are held monthly at the Hotel St. Denis. The roof gardens of the principal New York hotels and the summer gardens at t^ie Plaza and St. Regis have never been so perfect and beautiful as this season. Some of the retail florists cover the en- tire expense of the summer by their con- tracts for this style of decoration and the care of the palms in the home con- servatories. M. A. Bowe had some grand baskets and bouquets at the opening of the aerial theater on the New York roof June 15. Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., was an interested attendant and ex- hibitor at the flower show last week in New York. A much-needed rain fell all day Mon- day in New York and vicinity. The peo- nies arriving early in the week showed the bad effects of the long continued drought. Long Island crops of all kinds have been greatly benefited. Sunday, ,lune 14, the temperature hugged the 90 degree mark. A call at the factory of S.

Business is gradually diminishing, with a few good days, and other days that are far from good. There are still a few commencements and some weddings; these, with a few parties and the ordi- nary demands for flowers, sum up our business activity. The supply is notice- ably smaller, especially in carnations, some of the growers having realized that it was not worth while to ship in flowers from played-out plants. The supply of outdoor sweet peas, excepting on the rainy days, is large and they are fine. They can be had in all colors, with excel- lent stems. Prices are receding. Among the roses, Kaiserin is looming up strongly. Beauties are in good supply and of fair quality. Killarney is good but in most cases short in stem. Bride and Maid are deteriorating. Cattleyas continue fine and in strong supply. Valley is excellent. Peonies are over, the market being supplied by flow- ers placed in cold storage. A limited number of outdoor flowers, such as py- rethrum, achillea, etc., have made their appearance. Greens are in good demand, especially asparagus, both in bunches and in strings. The Graham-Mergenthaler DeaL For fully three months the street has been alive with rumors concerning com- binations and deals wherein Wm. Graham and J. Fred Mergenthaler were leading factors. These rumors proved mere phan- toms when traced to their origin. But an arrangement has finally been consum- mated whereby the Graham Floral Co. assumes the management of the store on Germantown avenue, near Chelten ave- nue, leased by F. & H. Mergenthaler, and of the greenhouses and residence on East Washington lane belonging to the same family. Inquiry on East Washington lane elicited the information that the Graham Floral Co. consisted of Wm. Gra- ham, J. A.

When asked concerning the future of the present Graham companies, David Eust, who is receiver for both companies, said that he was making every effort to wind up their affairs. All the plants belonging to the Hugh Graham Co. at Logan have been sold, excepting a house of orchids. The lease and fixtures of the store at 104 South Thirteenth street, now owned by the Wm. Graham Co., will, Mr. Eust thought, be disposed of before July 1. No statement has been made regarding what the receiver will be able to realize for the creditors; such a state- ment is impossible until liquidation is complete. The Profession of Horticulture. I am indebted to Alfred Burton for the following interesting newspaper clip- ping. Mr. Burton, who is a graduate of State College, believes that a young man whose aim is to make his mark as a flo- rist will greatly benefit by a college course. ' ' The school of agriculture in the Pennsylvania state college has its catalog for 1908-9 ready for distribution. The work is clearly outlined for all the courses offered. There are seven four years' courses leading to the degree of bachelor of science, offering opportunity to specialize in agricultural chemistry, agronomy, animal husbandry, dairy hus- bandry, forestry, horticulture and plant pathology. Students desiring to enter these courses must satisfy the usual col- lege entrance requirements. The instruc- tion of the first two years is practically identical and the student is not required to make his decision as to his special course until the beginning of his junior year.

In the first year some of the most fundamental subjects necessary to a general knowledge of agri- culture are definitely prescribed, while in the second year wide latitude is offered the student in"the selection of subjects of study, in order that he may be fitted for the practical work he may desire to un- dertake. "The winter courses in agriculture begin December 1, 1908, and continue twelve weeks without intermission for the holidays.

There is little call for indoor roses, but the Jacqs and other outdoor hybrids are now of good quality and sell fairly well. Carnations can be had at almost any price. Numbers have been cleared at $1.50 to $2.50 per thousand, some even lower. A fair price is 50 cents per hundred, and more sell lower than higher. Peonies are abundant and meet with a fair sale. After the present week they will shorten up, some growers having al- ready finished cutting them. Outdoor sweet peas are now of fair quality. Prices vary from 10 cents to 25 cents per hundred. There is little call for lilies, double feverfew, stocks and other flowers. For lily of the valley there is a fair call, also for gladioli and Spanish iris. Bedding plant trade is about over. Sales have been satisfactory this season. Rote and Peony Exhibition. The main exhibition hall was filled to overflowing June 13. The display of peonies was undoubtedly the best ever held in Boston. While the hardy roses made a creditable showing, numerous fine displays of hardy perennials and other flowers added interest to a most beauti- ful and varied exhibition. Taking the peonies first, we have never seen a finer lot of blooms, and the inter- est in them was far greater than that shown in the hardy roses. For thirty or more double varieties, prizes went to T. C. Thurlow, James McKissock, George Hollis and E. J. Shaylor & Son. The too heavy preponderance of white flowers in the last named exhibit prevented it from securing a higher award. For twelve named doubles, three of each, William Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener, E. J. Shaylor and George Hollis won in order named. For collection of singles, T. C. Thurlow was first. This was an excellent lot. A few of his best varieties were: Adana, Venus, Meteore, Lady Helen Vin- cent, Queen of May, Dorothy, Argus, Hesperus and Princess of Wales. Sec- ond and third went to George Hollis. For twelve varieties single Japanese, George Hollis won with a fine set, with one exception all being his own seed- lings. The best specimen bloom was shown by James McKissock, George Hol- lis, second. Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Wil- liam Thatcher gardener, secured first in the large China vase class with a well arranged lot, second going to Dr. C. G. Weld, W. C. Rust gardener. For six named doubles, white, prizes went to T. C. Thurlow, J. L. Blanchard and C. S. Minot. For six varieties rose-pink, six varieties salmon-pink and six va- rieties red, T. C. Thurlow was first in each class. For twenty-five blooms, white or blush, T. C. Thurlow was again first, while for twenty-five double pink or rose, E. J. Shaylor was first, followed by T. C. Thurlow and William Whitman. For twenty-five double red /^r crimson, T. C. Thurlow led with a splendid vase of Felix Crousse, W. Whitman spcond, Fred- erick Mason, E. L. Lewis gard«ner, third. For any other color W. Whitman won. For twelve blooms, double, for new com- mercial growers, J. L. Blanchard led in a strong class, W. Whitman second, Mrs, Gardner third. There were several large non-competi- tive collections of peonies. A. H. Fewkes had a splendid lot. Some of bis best were: Livingstone, Mme. Emile Galle, a beautiful soft pink, and Marie Le- moine. George Hollis had a good many seedlings, Eliza, single pink; Admiral Togo, double dark red, and Aristocrat, double soft pink, being the best. James McKissock had seventy-four varieties of doubles, John Richardson, deep pink; Mme. L. Mere and Tarquemada, full deep pink, being noteworthy. T. C. Thurlow showed a splendid collection of all classes. Some of his best doubles were: Pottsi alba, a lovely soft pink; Due de Wellington, Princess Clothilde, Mr. Man- ning, fine double red; Virginia, soft pink; Rousseau, shrimp pink; Bridesmaid and Edouard Andre. From E. J. Shaylor came many unique varieties. Some of the best flowers noted were: Baroness Schroeder, Triomphe de L 'Exposition de Lille, Mme. Savrean, James Kelway, su- perb white; Souvenir de L 'Exposition Jniverselle, Avalanche, M. Dupont, H. Woodward, M. M. Cahuzac, La Tendresse, Germaine Bigot, Aurore, Duchesse de Ne- mours (Calot), probably the purest white variety known, also shown here under the name of Mrs. Gwyn Lewis; Henry Lau- rent, M. Jules Elie, A. A. Gould, Mme. de Galhau, Kelway 's Queen, Mme. Leonie Calot, Gloire de Charles Gombault, Mar- guerite Gerard, Octave Demay, Mme. de Vatry, Mme. de Verneville and Emily Hoste. For his fine new seedling, Georgi- ana Shaylor, a first-class certificate was awarded, no other novelties receiving mention. Farc|uhar & Co. staged an extensive collection of peonies, mostly in large vases, and containing about 2,000 flow- ers altogether. These included some fine sorts. Among other exhibits they also had flowers of a new lily in the way of June 18, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review* 23 J 24 The Weekly Florists' Review, June 18, 1908.

H. Wilson from western China recently. Blue Hill Nurseries were first and sec- ond for thirty varieties of perennials, with a fine assortment. F. J. Rea, W. W. Bawson and T. C. Thurlow also con- tributed large collections of perennials. J. T. -Butterworth had a collection of Spanish iris, and C. W. Parker, German iris. While the date was a trifle early for some exhibitors of hardy roses, there be- ing none from M. H. Walsh, whose flow- ers were not yet open, there was a good general display in the numerous classes. W. J. Clemson, J. 0. Christensen gar- dener, was again the most successful ex- hibitor, taking seven firsts and one sec- ond. Other successful rosarians were Mrs. Aaron Ward, of Roslyn, N. Y., whose hybrid teas were extra good; Mrs. F. Ayer, George Page gardener; Fred- erick Mason, Mrs. J. L. Gardner, W. Whitman, Mrs. E. M. Gill and E. E. Lin- coln. For 100 bottles arranged for ef- fect, the winners Mere W. J. Clemson, Mrs. F. Ayer, Mrs. E. M. Gill, Mrs. J. L. Gardner and Frederick Mason. Wil- liam Whitman and Mrs. J. L. Gardner had the best fifteen vases of sweet Wil- liams. Robert Cameron had an interest- ing collection of insectivorous plants, also a display of hardy flowers. Mrs. E. M. Gill had, as usual, an interesting general display. The attendance, which was large June 13, was phenomenal June 14, showing the popularity of the Sunday shows with the masses. Garden G)mmittee's Travels. The garden committee of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society visited the peony gardens of E. J. Shaylor & Son, at Wellesley Hills, June 11. The visitors were agreeably surprised at the wealth of floral beauty awaiting their inspec- tion. Although Mr. Shaylor has only been in the peony business since 1901, he now possesses a collection which can- not probably be duplicated in the country. All the best European novelties from Kel- way, Dessert, Lemoine, Calot and other noted specialists are secured each year. Poor varieties are weeded, duplications noted and corrected and every effort made to have every plant absolutely true to name. After such a long spell of hot and droughty weather it was pleasing to see several acres of these flowers in full beauty. The size of flowers has never been surpassed, and the absence of dash- ing rains made almost every flower seem perfect. A few of the finest doubles noted were Mme. Emile Lemoine, Mar- guerite Gerard, Therese, Aurora, Ger- maine Bigot, Mme. Savrean, Iklme. Jo- anne Sallier, Coronation, new; Lady Al- exandra Duff, James Kelway, fine; Rosa Bonheur, Baroness Schroeder, Pottsi al- ba, M. Dupont, Mme. L. Mere, Mme. Leonie Calot, Avalanche, and Mme. de Galhau. Some excellent singles were still blooming, while quite a number of prom- ising seedlings were in evidence. Among the latter was a magnificent double of shrimp pink color, flowers eight and one- half inches in diameter. This is the only seedling so far named, but in Georgiana Shaylor we have a novelty equal to the finest French or English introductions. Mr. Shaylor has a beautiful residence, quite romantically situated. With peonies he has made a striking success and all interested in these beautiful hardy flow- ers should pay him a visit while they are in season. After leaving Mr. Shaylor 's the com- mittee inspected the private peony col- lection of J. L. McKissock at West New- ton. Mr. McKissock has gotten together what is probably the richest amateur col- lection in America, embracing several hundred varieties, the cream of European novelties being included. Of the Moutan varieties there is also a fine assortment, these being seen to good advantage on an earlier visit. The garden committee inspected the estate of Harry A. Belcher, of Randolph, June 13, while June 15 the rose gardens of Peter B. Bradley and Ernest E, Lin- coln, of Hingham, were looked over. The committee has a number of other pros- pective visits to make, including one to the estate of George E. Barnard, of Ips- wich, June 19, the latter being entered for the Hunnewell triennial premium. Qub Meeting.

He is spe- cially interested in raising improved seedlings of sugar cane and is doing much experimental work for Harvard College. ^ As the board of aldermen of the Bos- ton city council have failed to endorse Mayor Hibbard's recommendations for an amalgamation of the park department and that of public grounds, we will be compelled to witness a little longer the woeful mismanagement of the latter de- partment. When it is removed fi:om the arena of municipal politics and ceases to be a convenient recreation ground for needy aldermanic supporters, then and not till then will it emerge from the rut it now occupies.

Twenty-sixth annual convention at Hotel Pontchartrafn, De- troit, Mich., June 23 to 25. 1908. Reports from California continue to reflect the conditions reported in the Review May 28, by A, J. Pieters. Don *t forget that this is the time to prepare the illustrations for your 1909 catalogue; make your photographs. Mail, quotations received from Olli- oules this week are the lowest yet to hand . for the season 's crop of French bulbs. The total invoice value of seeds im- ported in April, 1908, was $402,411, against $525,431 in the same 'month of 1907. The reports from the Michigan bean fields are to the effect that the necessary acreage has been found and planted un- der favorable conditions. A. C. Zvolanek, of Bound Brook, N. J., is inspecting the sweet pea crops in the Santa Clara valley of California, where he has growing contracts. George S. Green, president of the American Seed Trade Association, says he is hoping for a large attendance at the Detroit convention next week. The peas in Michigan are doing rea- sonably well; unless a sudden hot wave strikes them while in flower, as might easily happen after so cool a spring, the yield should be normal. One has only to take a ride through the country at this season to be made to realize what the inventors of hand cul- tivators have done to lighten the labors of "the man with the hoe." The Seed Trade Association will hold its annual convention at Detroit next week. There are several important sub- jects to be discussed besides those on the program, and a good session is expected. Joseph Breck & Son, Boston, report a larger volume of business in seeds than they have done in any previous season. Their representative, P. J. Van Baarda, will sail for Europe July 25 for a two months' trip. The legality of the non-warranty is now so well established that in most of the cases now threatening seed houses, the sellers have given some guaranty by not employing the language of the gen- erally adopted disclaimer. F. M. Roesch, of the Fredonia Seed Co., Fredonia, N. Y., has begun work on a three-story brick and stone building for a factory, office and retail store for his company, on Water street. It will be 50x100 and of the most modern con- struction. At Toledo, O., June 8, James T. Lynch filed suit in common pleas court for $15,000 damages from James G. Hickox and S. C. Schenck because of misrepre- sentations through which, he alleges, the defendants induced him to buy $7,500 stock in the Hickox, Mull & Hill Co., handlers of grass seeds, after it had been reincorporated under the Michigan laws.

Knott, who went to see Schenck for him, the defendants led him to believe that the stock was a good investment and would pay seven per cent. NEW KEOKUK (lA.) FIRM. . The Gate City Seed Co., with capital stock of $30,000, has leased the old Hub- inger building on the corner of Third and Main streets, at Keokuk, la., and will occupy the three stories and base- ment as wholesale and retail departments of the seed business. They are already moving into the building, which is one of the most imposing business structures in the city, and expect to complete all their plans within the next few days. This move has been necessary because of the fact that the seed department of the O. A. Talbott Co. has outgrown the present quarters of that firm, so this new firm has absorbed that branch of the Talbott business and has broadened out into larger fields. O. A. Talbott will not be actively connected with the new firm, of which A. M. Davidson is presi- dent, W. D. Burt and H. E. McCoy being associated with him. Mr. Talbott will devote his entire time to the grain business. DUTCH BULBS.

Generally speaking, however, the outlook is not for an abundant crop of either tulips or hyacinths, as the growing season has been too short, and from the present ap- pearances of the crocus stocks it is like- ly that good crocus will be quite as scarce, or even scarcer, than they were last year. However, as crocuses are not lifted until July, little can be said be- fore the end of June and by that time tulips are likely to be out of the ground, and results of crops can be fairly well estimated. • If bulb sales are to be depending up- on the number of visitors we have had this season during the spring, says a ■aHDHnHnHnaQMnHnan ■DaaHaaaHnHDininiD ■□HaaDHDHDiaanaaa kOLD STORAGE LILIES I ■ ■ □ ■ a ■ ■ ■ D ■ n ■ COLD STORAGE LILIES, mean that you can have Lilies all tbe year round.

ALLEN, OCTOGENARIAN. Saturday, June 13, C. L. Allen, the widely known seed grower of Floral Park, N. Y., was 80 years of age and the occasion was celebrated by a con- siderable gathering of his friends, both afternoon and evening, to whom he read a paper he had prepared, entitled "At Eighty." He is enjoying good health, despite the fact that he was very ill this spring with pneumonia. Pulling through this was due to his remarkable constitu- tion and the good care he had while sick. IOWA SEED DEALERS MEET. The second annual meeting of the Iowa Seed Dealers' Association was held at Des Moines June 10, with the attend- ance of most of the seedsmen of the state, nine new members being elected. Three sessions weie held, the principal business being the consideration of the Iowa pur« seed law, which now has had a year's test and been found inadequate, unjust and burdensome. In his opening address. President Page urged co-operation among the mem- bers of the society with the object of competing more successfully with deal- ers of other states. He dwelt upon the advantages of a change in the state seed law and asked the members of the or- ganization to work in conjunction to bring sufficient pressure to bear upon the state legislature to secure a repeal or amendment of the measure. He declared that the law discriminates against deal- ers in the state in favor of seedsmen from surrounding territory. Among those present were Prof. L. H. Pammel, of Ames, one of the framers of the law, and State Seed Commissioner H. R. Wright, who is charged with its enforcement. Prof. Pammel said that since the law has had a year's practical test he has seen its defects and admitted that it needed remedying. Commissioner Wright said that , during the year he has observed between 500 and 1,000 cases of where seed dealers might be MUSHROOM CULTURE The most profitable outdoor Industry known.

A few June wed- dings, some commencements and a little general trade manage to keep life in the shops, but the business is much below last year. The wholesale houses have Beauties, lilies, phlox and sweet peas in abundance. All other stock is showing the effects of the hot weather. Qub Meeting. Thfe Pittsburg Florists ' Club met June 9 with a good attendance. The subject scheduled was "Hardy Boses and Peo- nies, ' ' but the meeting was one week too late for these, the early season bringing them on so early that a poor show re- sulted. The club, however, awarded the following prizes to private gardeners: W. C. Madson, gardener for B. H. Boggs, first on roses and peonies; Eobert Lilley, gardener for Mr. Barnsdol, second on roses. There were some other exhibits of flow- ers which helped out the show, such as digitalis, columbine, delphinium, Spanish iris and a number of other things, all good. The club decided to hold the annual outing as a basket picnic, Thursday, June 25, at the Crystal Farm, Bakerstown, Pa., the home of the Pittsburg Bose and Car- nation Co. There were many who de- sired to visit this, the largest plant of the kind in western Pennsylvania, and thought they might combine this trip with PANSY Famous Strains of Mam- moth Mixed Pansies S. & W.

I want to build a house 14x80 for tomatoes. Would a wall four feet high be higli enough for a bench, or will the j)lants do better on a raised bed? J. J. lu a house as narrow as fourteen feet a wall four feet high would hardiy be high enough for a raised bench, as it would give your plants little head-room. The plants could, of course, be carried over on a line with the roof a foot or more away from the glass, but trained that way only two rows could be accom- '^.jneflated, and your house would be pretty well shaded by the foliage. A tomato ])lant will fruit much better with the roots confined, so that the solid or raised bed is not the most suitable place for them. Your best plan would be to grow them in boxes. Make these about one foot wide and nine or ten inches deep and any length you desire. They could be made continuous for the whole length of the house, or in lengths that could be easily moved around. Set the plants about fourteen inches apart in the boxes. With a good light house four rows of plants could be grown without the one shading the other much if they were trained to upright trellises. The height of your plants would, of course, be regu- lated by the height of your house and they would have to be stopped before they reached the glass. The two outside rows would not have as much headroom as the two in the center of the house ; but if you have an east and west house it may be best to stop them all about an oven height, so that the center rows weuld not shade the back row. If it is. a north and south house it will be all the better for your plants, as then the light will strike on both sides of the rows' some part of: the day and give them all an equal cHlance. C.

Mention The Review when you write, and it is a case of hard work till you finish up. The city is now a bower of beauty and it has been remarked that the city never has looked so well. The cemetery work is now all complete and the growers have a breathing spell, for a time at least. The cut flower trade is quiet, aside from the weddings. Graduations are now in full force and when this is over every- body looks for a quiet season. Stock is keeping up good and bids fair to last until the rush is over. Various Notes. Owing to the hot weather and the busy season, the regular meeting of the club was called oflf. Arnold Ringier called in Buffalo last week. David Scott, of Corfu, is picking a fine crop of early peas. The stock find.s ready sale, as it so far surpasses the worn-out winter flowers. Rowland Cloudsley, of the Lenox Flower Shop, reports a good business since his opening a short time ago. W. J.

There Avere also quite a few wed- dings, though nothing of any note, and Bome funeral work. The rain has at last let up and we had delightful weath- er last week, clear and cool. Stock at all of the wholesale houses was plentiful all of the week, and the demand, both local and shipping, was reported as sat- isfactory. The quality of the stock that is coming in is poor and will be from now on. Roses seem more plentiful than carna- tions. Good, first-class stock is always in demand, but too much of the poorer grades is thrown into this market. Ex- tra good valley can be had.

There was quite a large gathering of members at the June meeting of the Flo- rists' Club, which was held last Thursday afternoon in Bowman's hall. All the officers were present, including President W. C. Young, who opened the meeting at 2:30 p, m., with an attendance of fif- teen members, which later increased to twenty-five. The regular opening pro- ceedings were quickly disposed of. The president called for a report from the trustees, all three being present. Through Chairman Schoenle they reported that all arrangements had been made with the management of Normandy grove for the club picnic, to be held July 15, and a full program of the doings at the picnic will be presented at the July meeting. This being the first meeting of the club since the death of our friend, William Scott, the president appointed Messrs, Amman^i, Guy and Beneke to draw up suitable resolutions. During a discussion as to the florists' business this season, the general opinion was that it had suf- fered somewhat, but not as much as other sorts of business, during the late panic. The question box, too, brought out some interesting discussions. The next meeting of the club will be held July 9. The nomination of officers will take place, and the election at the meeting following this should bring out a large attendance. As this is the year for nomination of presidents, the com- petition should be keen. Various Notes.

The Foster Floral Co. has offered half of its store for rent during the dull sum- mer months. Mr. Foster says they had a good business season. John Steidle, state vice-president of the S. A.

The trustees of the club will be glad to receive any suggestions from any of the florists that would make interest- ing features for the club's picnic.

She is a graduate of the San Rafael high school. PORTLAND, ORE. Rose Carnival. The rose carnival, ending June 6, was unanimously voted a great success, not- withstanding the fact that the rose crop was a disappointment and fell short of the demand. Jt was one whole week of jollification and hustle, and the people of Portland had not seen such a lively time since the Lewis and Clark fair. The street car company reported handling 300,000 passengers in one day, 50^0 more than were carried on any one day during the fair. It proved a greater magnet for the country people than a circus. "With Admiral Swinburne's big ship and a torpedo flotilla anchored in our harbor, and the presence of Bob Fitz- simmons, we were well protected and perfect order prevailed. A good, big, round sum had been subscribed and the floats were gotten up elaborately. Society was generous, and we doubt if any one line of business profited more from the rose carnival than our own. It was almost a clean-up for six days, and at good prices. The only florist to take direct, active interest in the outdoor festivities was John Holden, who showed a splendid piece of workmanship in one of the pa- rades, which deservedly won first prize. It was a miniature residence, with all the details of landscaping worked out perfectly. Among the visitors who made their presence known during the week were Miss Armstrong, of Spokane, and Mrs. A. M. Barnett, of Centralia, Wash.; Mrs. H. Jewell, The Dalles; Mrs. C. B. Blount and daughter, of Albany, and Geo. Allen, the nurseryman, of Lebanon, Ore. A hot wave struck the city June 7 and we now have flowers enough to sup- ply a hundred fiestas. H. J. M. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market We are in the midst of the midsummer dullness, and, from appearances, every- one with any money to spend has left the town for the seashore or the moun- tains. Several of the retailers have taken advantage of the reigning quiet- ness and are renovating their stores and putting things in shape for the fall opening. Flowers are practically without price and it is only where dealers have con- tracted to use certain quantities of stock, or where there are regular contracts all the year around, that it is possible to get a line on what goods are really worth. Anyone who is at the mercy of the supply and demand is poorly off at this time, and still, in comparison with last year's prices, we are only slightly lower. The volume of goods handled, however, is much less than a season The quality of stock is better now than -2 Million Galia Bulbs Ready to Siiip New Calla-PEARL OP STUTTGART Introduced in Germany 6 years ago.

PORTLAND ROSE FESTIVAL. Rose festival Aveek was one of con- tinuous gaiety and crowds. More than 100,000 people witnessed each parade. The street car company on Thursday car- ried 240,000 passengers. Notwithstanding the lateness of the season, the competitive rose show in the Oriental building ofr the Lewis and Clark Exposition was an unqualified success. The large interior was turned into a bower of beauty. Roses, roses every- where— millions of roses! Wm. S. Sibson, of the Sibson Rose Nurseries; f. W. Settlemeier, of the Woodburn Nurseries, and Dr. Sulliger, of Bellingham, Wash., were the judges, and succeeded in giving general satis- faction. The amateur competitions were nu- merously and well contested. There was, however, a lack of competition in the professional sections. Clarke Bros, made a fine decorative display and thereby earned the premium of $100, which was well deserved. This was the second rose festival, and hereafter it is to be an annual event. S. E. H.

Y.; Treas.. 0. L. Yates. Rochester, N. Y. The 84th annual convention will oe held at Ro- cheiter, June 190',). Those Texas nurserymen certainly do think Texas is all right. The St. Louis park commissioner has issued the usual beautifully printed and freely illustrated annual report. The seventh annual convention of the National Nut Growers' Association is booked for Chattanooga, Tenn. The date will probably be the latter part of Octo- ber. A xrRSERY agent named B. C. Clark has been arrested at Bath, N. Y., charged with collecting commissions from a New- ark, N. Y., nursery by means of the old, old scheme of orders signed by fictitious names. LoNiCER.\ Japoxica Halleana is an excellent climber and a vigorous grower, with white, sweet-scented flowers, chang- ing to pale yellow. The berries, borne in autumn, are black. It spreads rapidly from underground runners. The Intermountain Nursery Co., of Brigham City, Utah, has filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of state. The capital stock is $100,000, in $1 shares. The oflBcers are: A. L. Patter- son, i)resident; F. T. Troxell, vice-presi- dent; E. M. Tyson, secretary and treas- urer. J. W. Kerr was the only one at the ^lilwaukee convention who had a good word to say for the Kieffer pear. He said $200 to $300 per acre has been made in Texas off the Kieflfer and that such a variety is entitled to credit. It Ma.s an aspersion for the northern nur- seryman to interject: "Who buys 'em, Texans?" The new Waterloo Nursery Co., Water- loo, la., heM a meeting June 9, at which the following officers were selected: President, P. C. Schmidt, Cedar Falls; secretary, C. H. Dietrich; treasurer, F. F. Knapp. Walter Brown and F. E. Hunter will comprise the board of direc- tors, together with the above named of- ficers. The new firm will soon be ready for operation, and will both wholesale and retail nurserv stock. MILWAUKEE CONVENTION. A Successful Meeting. J. W\ Hill proved an ideal presiding officer and the thirty-third annual con- vention, held at Milwaukee June 10 to 12, hatl a snap and go that was as re- freshing as the delightful weather. The attendance was not so large as it has been in some years, but there was lively interest throughout. All the familiar faces were there. Nearly every state in the Union Avas represented, there being members present from New England and Florida, from Texas and Oregon. As buying and selling between members oc- cupies 80 large a place in the week, it was but natural that all the firms seek- ing nurserymen's trade should be repre- sented— there were probably more sales- men present than ever before. More business has been done between members in some other years, but notebooks were nevertheless much in evidence. President's Address. In his address President Hill spoke in part as follows: ' ' During the past year we, like all other business men, were brought face to face with a financial depression which resulted in what Ex-Secretary Shaw claims to be ' the worst *panic the world has ever known. ' This condition of af- fairs arose last fall, at the time the re- tail nurseryman was nftiking his ship- ments, and in many places poor de- liveries were made, or clearing house cer- tificates, notes and other evidences of indebtedness were taken in payment for trees, but with the readjustment of af- fairs, these have been promptly met, con- gress has just passed the compromise currency bill, and we are now, I trust, over the roughest places with nobody badly hurt.

One of them handed out an apple to each rlsltor. The Protective Association. One of the most important features of the convention was the merging of the two protective association^, the Mutual being absorbed by the American Nurs- erymen's Protective Association at the meeting June 11. The merger brought a number of new members to the larger association and concentrated the business all in one office, to the advantage of all. Officers elected are as follows: President — R. C. Berckmans, Augusta, Ga. Vice-president— J. W. HUl, Des Moines, la. Second vice-president — W. F. Helkes, Hunts- Tille, Ala. Secretary — T. B. NCeehan, Dreshertown. Pa. Treasurer — Peter Younger, Geneya, Neb. Last year 's executive committee was re- elected. The association has had an exceptionally successful year. Local Hospitalities. The business was pushed through so that at the hour for convening Friday morning, June 12, the association could accept the invitation of the local com- mittee, headed by T. J. Ferguson, of the Hawkes Nursery Co., Wauwatosa, and of the Business Men's Association of Oconomowoc, for a trip to Oconomo- woc, about thirty miles. On the way a visit of two hours was made to the fa- mous Pabst stock farm, which proved much more interesting, even, than the Pabst brewery, which was inspected the last time the association met at Milwau- kee. Arriving at Oconomowoc, dinner was served, after which the entire party was taken for a 12-mile ride through some of the prettiest country in the lake regivn. SHRUB JOTTINGS. Kerria Japonica is a moderate grow- ing shrub which is not half sufficiently known. Entirely apart from its extreme beauty when in flower, it is an attractive winter object, its bright green bark ren- dering it a striking object in any shrub- bery. In Arnold Arboretum the flowers were this season at their best May 22, the plants being simply smothered with a mass of orange yellow blooms. This shrub suckers up freely and is readily propagated by digging up any of these offsets. The extreme height rarely ex- ceeds six feet and therefore this kerria should not be planted among those of coarse growth. It shows up to best ad- vantage on the front of shrubberies, where it should be given ample spread to show its beauties. Chionanthus Virginica, better known as the white fringe, makes a beautiful lawn specimen. Its large, dark green, glossy leaves and myriads of pure white, feathery racemes of flowers make a com- bination difficult to duplicate, and any- one coming across a well flowered speci- men stands in rapt admiration. This is unquestionably one of the most beauti- ful small flowering trees known and be- ing absolutely winter hardy, even in our northern states, can be safely planted in almost any location. It was this year in full beauty in eastern Massachusetts June 7, the trees at that time being a veritable misty wave of whiteness. LoNicERA Japonica atjreo-reticulata, a fine variety, with yellow, reticulate- veined leaves, is sometimes employed as a hedge and must grow in full sunlight to brin^ out the color. As a hedge plant it requires frequent shearings to keep it symmetrical. It is not hardy in the north- ern states.

Baumer and Miss Jessie Lauser, two of the best known young people in the East End, were married Thursday evening, June 11, at the Eng- lish Lutheran church, at Highland and Rubel avenues. The marriage ceremony was pronounced by the Rev. A. C. Miller. After the wedding an elaborate reception was held at the home of the bride, where many of the friends of the young people gathered to extend their congratulations. The groom is proprietor of a flower store in the Masonic Theater building. The bride is one of the prettiest and most popular women of the East End. WASHINGTON. Capital Qty G>tnment. Last week was a busy one, especially for the decorators. There were all kinds of decorations, besides weddings. Stock is poor, especially the carnations. Some fine peonies from the north are to be seen in some of the windows. Phlox is plentiful and good, also the blue Jap- anese iris. Z. D. Blackistone had the decoration for the McKinley Manual Training School. Gude Bros. Co., besides weddings, had a unique decoration in one of our largest churches for children's day, representing a camp. A large number of oak and cedar trees were used, with tents and a 15-foot flag pole, with a concealed motor furnishing the breeze for the flag. This firm also furnished all the plants and arranged the palm garden on the steamer Jamestown. J. II. Small & Sons had the Leiter- Williams wedding. This was the notable event of the week. The apartment at the Connecticut, where the ceremony took place, was banked with hundreds of Har- risii lilies. Rauscher's Parlors, where the reception and wedding breakfast took place, was a bower of Beauties. Over the doors was lattice work with Lady Gay Rambler roses running up the side and over the doors and windows. In the bow window was a lattice arbor covered with Lady Gay roses. Here the bride and groom received. The bride's table was heart-shaped and had a heart center- piece made of Carnot roses and valley. The eighteen smaller tables were done in Lady Gay roses. Geo. Cooke reports business good. Mr. Robinson is wearing one of those breakfast food smiles and says business is so good he needs a rest. F. H. Kramer comes out with a double page ad in the local Sunday paper with a general review of his business, from an obscure $1 per week tobacco stripper nineteen years ago to the proprietor of a PEONIES Queen Victoria.

Last week saw a round of June wed- dings and the last of the graduates. If there were not this incentive to busi- ness, it would have been a dull w6ek for the florists. The weather, with the exception of one day, was typical March weather. Peonies at present are the popular flower and the wet weather help- ed them along so that the latter part of the week they were more or less plen- tiful. Roses are good and plentiful, and there is a noticeable scarcity of good Bride. Carnations are still run- ning all the way from $1.50 to $3 per hundred. Various Notes. A proposition was made at the April meeting of the Twin City Florists' and Gardeners' Club to incorporate the asso- ciation under the name of the Minnesota State Florists' Association. The com- mittee appointed framed up a consti- tution and by-laws, to be voted on at the meeting June 16 at the park board greenhouses. The Twin City Pottery Co. is again doing business as a stock company, under the name of the American Clay Products Co., and in addition to pots will make fancy jardinieres, vases, etc. They in- tend to move their place of business to Midway in the near future, thus having a better business center. M. E. M. Newport, R. I. — J. G. Leikens has opened his Bellevue avenue branch for the season. We are much pleased with the returns from advertising in the Review, as we have had no trouble selling all we can grow. — J. Sylvester, ■ Oconto, "Wis. Muskegon, Mich. — Five prominent Holland-American residents of this city have just been notified that they are the rightful heirs to the estate of Jacob Mooi, a well-known Holland tulip mer- chant, who died eight years ago. The estate is located in the Netherlands and is valued at $5,000,000. It is expected, however, that there will be a bitter con- test before the case is really settled. La Porte, Ind. — The Interlaken school has purchased the J. M. Studebaker greenhouse, at South Bend, with the in- tention of removing it at once to the school grounds. The greenhouse is 30x 100, and will be connected with the agri- cultural department of the school. The scientific study of agriculture is becom- ing more and more prominent as a part of the school course. American Beauties 3-in.. $8.00 per 100; 4-in., $12.00 per 100.

Baltimore is having a hot, dry spell, which is disastrous to carnations. A number of the growers have started to water them. There was a good demand for cut flowers last week for funeral work for the victims of the terrible wreck on the new Baltimore, Washing- ton & Annapolis Electric road. The cars were running at forty miles an hour when they met a special car which was crowded with passengers for the Naval Academy ball. There were ten killed and twenty-two hurt. The general su- perintendent was seriously hurt, and his daughter was killed. This is a single track road to Annapolis. The commencement exercises have kept the florists busy of late. Carnations are showing the effect of the hot weather. They are small and full of red spider. There will not be so many mums planted this season as last. Yellow is scarce everywhere. Various Notes. The Gardeners' Club bowling team is going over to Washington June 20, to bowl several games with the Washing- ton florists. W. O. Stran has sold his property on the Old York road to the city as a site for a public school, and he has bought five acres at Carney, on the Harford road. The Gardeners' Club went to Blen- heim, the country seat of Wm. Lanahan at Govanstown, June 11. There were over 100 members present. This was the third visit of the club and they had a royal good time. Chas. L. Seybold, superintendent of Carroll park, . had charge of the sports. They had a po- tato race, a sack race and a ball game. At 6 o'clock all assembled on the spa- cious lawns, where refreshments were served. Mrs, Lanahan was presented with a handsome bunch of Beauties by N. F, Flitton, the secretary of the club, Mr. Ufler gave an interesting talk at the last meeting on how to force aspara- gus under glass. Q. Alton, III. — Joseph Krug & Sons se- cured the contract for the beautifying of the courthouse grounds at Edwardsville, 111. The contract was awarded by the supervisors of public buildings. North Adams, Mass, — A greenhouse is being erected at the normal school, for the use of the department of agri- culture which has recently been organ- ized as a part of the school course.

Business has kept up remarkably well this month so far, but, with the closing of the schools and a general exodus to summer resorts, the trade will experience the usual summer quietness and all will be able to devote their energies toward getting their places in readiness for an- other season. Emptying and refilling the benches, painting and repairing and a general overhauling of the whole plant will keep all hands busy during the summer months. Various Notes. Baur & Smith are cutting a fine lot of blooms off their bench of May. This carnation is proving itself to be a splen- did summer variety, not burning or bleaching like so many others. At the last meeting of the City Flo- rists' Club a committee was appointed to make arrangements for a picnic, to be held in July. John Berterman is a busy man these days as chairman of the decoration com- mittee of the Saengerfest, to be held in the city this week. John Hartje is making fine progress with the erection of his new houses, south of the city. S. DETROIT. The Market. Things were rather quiet in our city last week. Business started in pretty briskly on Monday, June 15. There was a marked scarcity of pink roses on this day. The graduating exercises have cre- ated a demand for all kinds of flowers, particularly roses and sweet peas. The latter are fine. Peonies are also meet- ing with a good demand this year. The quality* of the flowers seems to be un- usually good. They have good stems and are very lasting. The less said about carnations at the present time the better. The price is away down and the market flooded. "When it gets along about this time of the year the people, with few exceptions, seem to have tired of carnations and many do not want them at any price. Smilax and other greens are plenti- ful. While there are a number of small wedding decorations called for, the big jobs are few and far between. A nuhi- ber of our society buds are being mar- ried, but they are not making as much show this year as in the past. Various Notes. Visitors: E. C. Pruner, representing E. H. Hunt; H. C.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. (Gontinued from page 11) main on the plants a couple of months longer at least. Often, after flowering, we see these araaryllis thrown under the benches to take pot luck until they are examined for flower spikes another winter. Rambler Roses in Pots. In the rush of other work, do not neglect the rambler roses, if you would have the best stock for another Easter. Be sure to use the hose freely and let the pressure be good. That insidious foe, red spider, must not be given any foothold or the plants will be nearly ruined. Keep the shoots tied up securely. All this means work, but it is work which will pay you well. As the shoots become well matured you can place them out- doors, where they should be plunged and, if possible, tied up to a fence of either wire or wood to keep them from being blown about. Do not allow them to suf- fer from want of water at the roots. This in itself will speedily bring spider around. Any young stock propagated the past spring should be kept potted along. Some of these can now safely go into 6-inch pots, in which size strong blooming plants can be grown. Cyclamens. Cyclamens should now be in their sum- mer quarters in coldframes, with the sashes tilted up six inches both top and bottom, to secure a free and continuous passage of air, and cloth or lath shadings should be used over them during bright sunshine. A little sun mornings and evenings will not hurt them, but the noon- day glare they cannot stand. A light spraying over on warm evenings, and also early in the afternoons of very hot days, refreshes them much. The popular size of pot for market purposes is 6-inch. Early plants will now be ready for a shift into these, while later ones can be placed in S^^-inch or 4-inch. Do not al- low the plants to become potbound. To keep thrips in check in the frames, use some tobacco stems among the pots and spray with some tobacco extract. In potting use a mixture of fibrous loam, sharp sand and either sheep manure or dried cow manure. A dash of fine bone may also be added at the final shift. The compost should be porous and be pressed quite firmly in the pots. The conns should not be buried. Be careful not to overwater newly potted stock. Brief Reminders. Pinch the tops from bouvardias, sola- nums, stevias and eupatoriums in the open ground. Hardy roses will be benefited by a hosing overhead in the evenings in dry, warm weather. This also keeps aphis in check. . Do not attempt to sow calceolaria seed before August. ' Pot over the small ferns and space them out so that they will have ample room for development. If not already done, get in a final sowing of asters. If you are short of crotons, get a batch of cuttings in the bench at once. Keep the sand constantly wet and they will soon root. Ply the cultivator constantly and give weeds no chance to smother your crops. Have you ordered your coal supply for the coming winter 1 Remember that prices are low now. TARRYTOWN, N. Y. The annual June exhibition of the Tar- rytown Horticultural Society, held in Music hall, June 12, eclipsed all previous ones. There was a magnificent display of roses staged on five large tables, one exhibitor having over 100 varieties of hybrid perpetuals a"nd teas, a majority of them truly named. Frau Karl Druschki was much in evidence, having been en- tered in many classes, and carried off the honors wherever perfect. Competition was keen in every class and judging dif- ficult. Strawberries were also fine, large and well finished, every class heavily entered, single plate entries numbering eleven and a majority of them perfect in every way. Shrubs were lacking, only two exhibits being staged with common varieties. Perennials were fine, two exhibitors having over fifty varieties each, well labeled. The F. R. Pierson Co. had some large exhibits of miscellaneous plants and cut flowers, not for competition but interesting. An innovation which has proved suc- cessful and interesting was the giving of two prizes for bouquets of wild flowers, open only to school children under 14 "years of age. This brought twenty-four contestants. The principal prize winners were: F. L. Milne, gardener to E. H. Wetherbee; W. H. Waite, gardener to Samuel Unter- myer; W. C. Roberts, gardener to Fred- erick Potter; Wm. Jameson, gardener to Emil Berolzheimer; James Stuart, gar- dener to Mrs. F. A. Constable; John Woodcock, gardener to Gen. McAlpin; John Elliott, gardener to Geo. Legg; H. Nichols, gardener to Mrs. J. B. Trevor; John Brunger, gardener to I. N. Selig- man. A certificate of merit went to F. R. Pierson Co., for a miscellaneous exhibit, and to Mathew J. Murtka, gardener to Mrs. W. L. Bull, for shrubs, hardy peren- nials and roses. A cultural certificate was given George Whitlinger, gardener to Miss Blanche Potter, for a collection of vegetables, and to John Elliott for Rose Frau Karl Druschki. Honorable mention was made of Wm. Jameson for Blenheim melon and Lorillard tomato, and of Francis Gibson for shrubs, hardy perennials and roses. L. A. M. JAPANESE IRISES. The Japanese iris is enjoying increased popular favor and the National Council of Horticulture recommends it as of the easiest culture, but cautions gardeners against overlooking the essential require- ment of plenty of moisture at all times. If possible, select for this plant a place that is naturally continually moist. It should not be under water in the win- ter, however, for in such a location the plant will rot. A heavy, moist soil is needed. If too poor and sandy, dig in plenty of well rotted manure and mulch the bed heavily in summer. Plants in the open border frequently suffer from the hot sun and dryness. In preparing a bed, dig deeply, as the roots often pene- trate two feet or more. Planting can be done either in fall or spring; if in the fall, mulch well with straw or manure to prevent the frost lifting the plants out of the ground. The Japan iris blooms earlier than other species. The fiowers are variable in color and size. Some are very large. The colors range from pure white to various shades of lilac and violet, indigo to almost black. The lighter shades are frequently blotched and streaked with other colors. The flowers appear in June or July, large plants often producing up- wards of 100 individual flowers. A big bed when in blossom is a sight not to be forgotten. If cut with long stems the spikes are fine for bouquets. Seed is produced in abundance. If planted in outside beds in a moist place or sown in shallow boxes and left outside during the winter, the seeds will germinate the fol- lowing spring.

The Weekly Florists' Review* 67 ALBAPry, N. Y. The regular monthly meeting of the Albany Florists' Club was held June 4, at the establishment of W. C. King, on Madison avenue. Forty members, the largest number in some time, were present. Fred A. Danker, of the committee on a new circular upon the care of plants, reported progress and asked for an ex- tension of time, which was granted. The circular is intended for distribution among tb6 customers of the club. W. C. King, the host, gave an excel- lent review of the state of trade for the spring season now past, and spoke optimistically of the future. The mem- bers regretted the inability of H. G. Eyres to be present to deliver an address on the cultivation of the amaryllis, of which Mr. Eyres has had on exhibition some notable specimens. During the evening four new mem- bers were elected and a social session was enjoyed, with refreshments.. Lewis Schaefer entertained with recitations and a thoroughly enjoyable time was had. The next meeting of the club will be held at the establishment of the presi- dent, Fred Goldring, at Slingerlands, on the evening of July 2, Carryalls will leave the Union station at 6 p. m. and from the intersection of Madison and Delaware avenues at 6:30 p. m.

The recent panic has not seemed to make any material difference with it, except we have found collections much slower and harder to get, and also more of them.

We are planning to put up a house especially for starting early vegetable plants, to be put out in the open ground as soon as the weather will permit. We make this our specialty. But we also grow and sell some flowers and we want to use the proposed house to grow all the cuttings and flowers we can in the first part of the winter, before needing the house for our vegetable seeds and plants. Our location is southwestern Pennsylvania. We have two small greenhouses, heat- ed with hot air. These are lean-to houses, with a walk in the center. The houses both face south. There are ven- tilators in the highest part of the roof, but none on either side. We find that the plants are much more dwarf and spindly at the wall than next to the walk. We think this is caused by lack of ventilation or circulation of air next to the walls. And this is one of the points I want your opinion on. We wish to build our house sixty or sixty-five feet long and eighteen feet wide, with an even-span roof. The building would stand east and west, with twenty-four inches of glass under the eave on the south and twenty inches of glass under the eave on the north. We GET WISE to the fact . ' ■'i' you will by installing The Martin Rooking Grate. Costs a little more than ordinary grates, but the coal bums— it doesn't go into the ashpit.

Junk 18, 1008. The Weekly Florists' Review* it Expressions From Men Who Know Mr. J. G. Frlsz, of Vlncennes, Ind., writes as follows: • "Your No. 13 boiler is carrying 25,000 square feet of glass and I can keep It at 60° In the coldest weather without any trouble. I have three other types of boilers also heatins: a range of 25,000 square feet of glass, but the No. 18 Kroeschell boiler only takes half the coal and half the work to get the same results." P. S.— Mr. , J. G. Frlsz, of Vlncennes, Indiana, has the largest range of glass in Indiana devoted to vegetable forcing. Damm Bros., Ohicago. HI., write: '...'Ia-V "In 1894 we bought one of your No. 12 boilers to take the place of four smaller boilers of another make. Your boiler has done the entire work to the highest satisfaction, savinf; labor and about one-third of the fuel we used to burn before. We had that boiler up to 1906, that is 12 years, having no repairs on it whatever, except one set of flues we put in in liKX). Last fall we mstalled one of your No. 14 boilers, havingenlarged our plant. It takes care of 35,000 square feet of glass very easy, when firing we keep the ash door open only about one inch. We think your No. 14 boiler could carry 40,000 square feet of glass." ,. Mr. Nic Zweifel, North Milwaukee, Wis., writes: "I have a range of 200-foot houses with a total of 27,000 square feet of glass. I can get all the pipes warm In SO minutet with one of your No. 13 greenhouse boilers and it is very easy firing. Can fire just as easy with screenings as with lump coal." W. W. Allabaugh, Silverdale, Pa., writes: "Your boiler gives entire satisfaction. You will notice the No. 4 boiler is rated to warm 10,500 square feet of glass and I have over 12,000 square feet of glass." Theo. Diedrich, Anacostia, Washington. D. C, writes: "No. 6 Boiler carries two houses 20 x 172. and three houses 22 x%; this Is 8(900 square feet of glass more than its ratlns*" Wm. Pinchbeck, Ridgefleld, Conn., writes: ' "I expect to enlarge my plant soon and when I do shall use another of vour boilers. Now a few words about the boiler I bought of you in 1901. This is a No. I boiler, rated in your catalogue at 6.000 square feet. It is taking care of 7,000 square feet of Klass in carnation bouses and works to perfection. No trouble whatever in cold nights; no night fireman; easy to work and easy to coal. I consider this the best boiler on the market and I have used a good many different kinds." Jacob Phillips, Rogers Park, Ohicago, 111., writes: "Has 20 000 square feet of glass. Can keep 60 degrees in coldest weather. Had one boiler 15 years, only expense one set of flues. Kroeschell Boiler is so satisfactory that I do not care to try any other." G. Basler. Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "Had different kinds of cast iron boilers. I am assured that I can save about one-third fuel with your boiler. I started firing October 10th and the fire never went out up to this time. May 12, 1907. This boiler heats both my dwelling and greenhouses and gives the best of satisfaction. My dwell- ing is about 40 feet from the boiler. Can recommend your boiler to anybody. It is the only i^reenhouse boiler." Chas. W. Unglaub, Springfield, O.. writes: , ^ ^ , "I had a cast iron sectional boiler before I got yours: would not give yours for a dozen of the others. Your boiler is the quickest heating boiler I ever saw. I hardly ever have the damper over half open and the draft shut most of the time. I wish I had gotten it four years ago, when I got the sectional boiler. I would be ahead now. In the four years I had to buy a new section and four heads that had cracked, and I had to be right with the cast iron boiler, and I would have to fire every twenty or thirty minutes. It took more coal than your boiler. The cast iron boiler took much more attention and more coal and would be leaking half the winter. I want no more cast iron sectional boilers." THE KROESCHELL BOILER IS BUILT RIGHT FOR FUEL ECONOMY, DURABILITY, SAFETY and is the most popular boiler made. Daring the season of 1906-1907 the Kroeschell boiler was installed to heat 4,286,000 square feet of glass. 1346 Cast Iron Boilers were replaced by the Kroeschell in 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907. No other type of boiler has ever equaled such a record or made so many friends. Send for catalogue. Kroeschell Bros. Co., 51 Erie st., Chicago Mention The Review when you write.

I scarcely can see why they do this, as our little houses run wild in temperature when the sun shines, either in summer or winter. I think, if the roof is equal, that such sudden change would not occur either way, for when the sun is hid the temperature falls nearly as rapidly as it rose. Now you have our plan.

That arrangement of pipe seems to give good satisfaction in a house not far from here, but if you can better it, please tell me how. Are greenhouses set level, or are they all raised at the farthest end from the boiler? If raised, how much rise to the foot, and how much are the pipes usual- ly raised in fifty feet? W. C. D. Plan to arrange fourteen 1 14 -inch re- turns in the part to be devoted to cab- bage, lettuce, etc., and eighteen in the part to be used for eggplants and warm- er stuff. A 21^ -inch flow under the ridge will be sufficient to carry through the first section, where it may be re- duced to 2-inch to serve the second or cool room. If I were building such a house I should run it north and south and use even-span construction, with solid benches and overhead heat in the cool part and raised benches and bottom heat in the warmer section. Greenhouses are usually built on a slope; four inches to the 100 feet is enough for the gutters. Usually the pipes slope in exactly the op- posite direction from the way the house slopes. The highest point in the hot water system is usually the point farth- est away from the boiler, which is at the same time the lowest end of the house, because it is usually desirable to dis- charge the gutter water at the opposite end from the boiler pit.

It was about as discouraging a week's business as we have had yet, but with all of that we still have hope, for it does look as if the end was in sight if it had not already arrived. This week has started in with a positive scarcity of flowers of all kinds. White stock was especially in demand and orders for white carnations and roses could not all be filled. This tended to put some back- bone into the prices, and if it only can keep up we will all feel better. As so many growers have thrown out their roses and carnations, there will un- doubtedly be a big let-down in the supply of these flowers. This ought to insure a good price for what does come in, and it looks as if there will be business enough to keep the price up to paying level. The summer business last year was the best we have ever had, and if we have anywhere nearly as much this year we will have reason to be satisfied. Various Notes.

The Market Last week was a busy one, with school commencements and weddings, there being a good demand for all choice flow- ers, particularly American Beauties and Maid and Chatenay roses. Sweet peas also sold well, the price holding good, which it will until the outdoor supply comes in. The quality of roses is de- teriorating on account of the warm weather. Carnations still hold their qual- ity fairly well, but have not been over- abundant. Peonies are now good, but the supply has been limited; therefore the price held up, but will recede steadily from now on. Judging by the reports we have re- ceived, the present season has been one of the best on record for the sale of bed- ding stock, and some of the larger grow- ers are already almost sold out of stock. Of all the social affairs of the year, the University Club ball stands as the first largely attended and elaborately ar- ranged entertainment of the early sum- mer season. It is always preceded by numerous dinners, making floral decora- tions necessary. The decorations this season were particularly beautiful — if anything, more elaborate and lavish than in years past. Outside the club, the grounds were enclosed in canvas and were brilliantly illuminated with colored electric lights. A quantity of Asparagus plumosus was used in the club house. In the hall and many other rooms pink and white peonies were effectively used, while the tables in the dining-room were hand- somely decked with American Beauty roses. The garden effect was carried out in the decorations inside of the club house by palms and bay trees. The work was done by B. E. Gillis, of the Park Floral Co. E. S. K. NEW BEDFORD, MASS. Trade remains about the same as usual. There is a good supply of carnations coming in. The warm weather is having its effects on them, for they are coming smaller now. Saturday, June 13, was another carnation bargain day. One firm advertised 20,000 of them at 15 cents per dozen; another, 8,000 at 12 cents per dozen, besides 20,000 roses at 25 cents per dozen. This is going some, and nearly everyone on the street seemed to Wire Designs!

MILWAUKEE, The Market To judge from the brisk demand last week, it seems that June weddings are in full swing, and, with a good deal of funeral work, business all last week was good. With the exception of peonies, which are now having their inning, outdoor stock is at its end, and this undoubtedly helps the sale of the old standbys. A couple of cool days the latter part of the week checked the supply of roses and gave all a chance to clean up at 2 cents to 6 cents. Carnations are still plenti- ful and can be had for 25 cents to $2 per hundred. The only flowers short of demand are good Beauties. There are enough green goods to go around. While a few local commencement ex- ercises have taken place, still the usual heavy demand is expected next week. Various Notes. The Mueller & Schroeder Co. is cutting some fine peonies, which are consigned to the Holton & Hunkel Co. The Baumgarten Floral Co. began to move into its new quarters, at Fifth street and Grand avenue, June 15. The Edlefsen-Leideger Co. has opened a branch store at 782 Third street, the place formerly occupied by E. Haasch. After being remodeled, it presents quite a different appearance. The firm reports cutting fine carnations, which find ready sale, and funeral work was extra heavy H. V. Hunkel, of Holton & Hunkel Co., took a flying trip to Morton Grove, Chicago, and vicinity June 14. He is looking for young stock for the Brown Deer place. Will Zimmerman, of 430 Grand avenue, has returned from Beaver Lake, Wis., where he took chances at fishing. Nic Zweifel is taking a brief rest at Fox Lake, Wis. Maybe he will bring back a few fish. The C. C. Pollworth Go. says that the demand for supplies has been brisk late- ly. The firm is cutting its peonies at present, and they move well. Heitman & Baerman, Wauwatosa, still have a good cut of longiflorum lilies. E. Oestreichee. Leetonia, O. — Harry G. Wolfgang ex- pects to build another house, 20x50 feet, next fall.

Jdnb 18, 1908. SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. One of the most enjoyable meetings of the Springfield Florists' Club was that held on the evening of June 8, at the spacious and homelike suburban resi- dence of our veteran floral nurseryman and botanical authority, Thomas Mc- Beth. After the usual business session, two well rendered readings were given by Miss Dora Kreis, and a song by Harry D. Brydon, the recently acquired son-in- law of Mr. and Mrs. McBeth. The host then invited the members and guests to the ample dining rooms, where tables had been spread and beautifully adorned with candles, as well as peonies, weigelias, deutzias and similar products of nature's handicraft, assisted by the skill of Mr. McBeth, who is said to be able to make anything grow which he puts into the soil. A splendid three-course supper was then served by the -hostess and daugh- ters, the menu including exceptionally luscious strawberries, which were grown on the place and seemed to have attained to the height of perfection for this event. The feast having been disposed of to the refreshment of all present. President George H. Mellen opened the oratory with a review of the two years ' existence and work of the club and the advantages of holding a membership in the organi- zation, as well as the great benefit of the club to the community at large. Judge Francis M. Hagan was then in- troduced as toastmaster, and presided in his customarily interesting manner, the judge being a leading attorney and prominent in local literary circles and politics. Judge "Walter L. Weaver spoke enter- tainingly on the theme, "The Front Yard." District Superintendent Du Bois, of the Methodist church, ably responded to the toast, "The Back Yard." "The Peony Farm" was assigned as a subject for John M. Good, but he soon drifted to a discussion of civic im- provement, which is now uppermost in his mind, and in behalf of which he is accomplishing great things for the pres- ent and future good of the city. Eoger Murphy, ex-postmaster of Ur- bana, O., followed along the same line, and concluded by suggesting that the florists having any surplus stock at the end of the season might well donate it to the poor, thus utilizing what would otherwise be a waste product, bringing cheer to the unfortunate, and at the same time adding to the general beauty of the city. In addition to the related guests and the speakers, James F. Dick, superin- tendent of our beautiful Ferncliff ceme- tery, was present. Ge Dale. Waltham, Mass. — F. A. Greenlaw disappeared from his place of business, on Piety Corner, June 1, and has not been heard from since. As a result of his prolonged absence, the business is in the hands of James T. Silman, as keeper, in behalf of a creditor. Mr. Greenlaw came here from a neighboring town about a year ago and leased the Kidder greenhouses from the owner, E. P. Smith. Though an expert florist, he did not seem to be very successful, and it is considered probable that he became discouraged and decided to abandon the field. GREENHOUSE GLASS A and B Quality.

If you hold a ten cent piece close to your eye with one hand and a silver dol- lar at arm's length with the other hand you won't be able to see the dollar. The ten cent piece will shut out all sight of the piece ten times as big. In building green- houses of poor material you are holding up the dime and losing sight of the dol- lar. It is a fact, that the florist who builds up-to-date bouses shows himself to be a good businens man and in 99 cases out of 100 is successful. The fellow who "stints" and tries to get something for nothing never amounts to much. It is the same old truth over again: "You can't grow the best flowers in a bam." For forty years we have been selling the cypress greenhouse and the wajr we build them now is so perfect that you owe It to yourself and your business to get our estimates and sketches. We will make a sketch for you free of charge and send you figures on all the material need- ed for the house.

June 19 and 20 the American Peony Society held its annual meeting in the New York State Agricultural College, at (Cornell University. The exhibition of flowers, limited to two exhibitors because of the lateness of the season, was staged in one of the laboratories of the Horti- cultural department. Many of the so- ciety 's members live in Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, Long Island, etc. In their sections peonies had had their blooming [leriod. However, the trial plots in Ithaca were one mass of bloom. Inasmuch as the most important object of the meet- ing was to study the different varieties on the ground, it was thought best to liold the meeting when the plots were at their best. It was a disappointment that the attendance should have been so light. Prof. A, P. Saunders, of Clinton, N. Y., brought a large collection of blooms, which were entered in the amateur class. T. C. Thurlow & Co., West Newbury, Mass., also sent a large consignment. Business Session. The regular business meeting was called to order June 19, in the Horticul- tural lecture room, by Secretary Fewkes; President Ward and Vice-president Pe- terson being absent, E. A. Reeves, of Cleveland, was elected chairman. Min- utes of the last meeting were read and approved. R. T. Brown, representing the Cottage Gardens Co., spoke in behalf of Mr. Ward. He said that he regretted the fact that Mr. Ward was unavoidably detained in the west by business. Report of the Secretaiy. The report of Secretary Fewkes was in part as follows: The present member- ship of the society is forty-nine, not in- cluding four honorary members. It is gratifying to note that the membership is steadily increasing, slowly to be sure, but in a substantial manner. Those who have dropped out are few and greatly overbalanced by the new members who are annually admitted. Since the last meeting the work of the .society has been steadily progressing. The committee on diseases has sent out H large number of inquiries, which have brought out much information, but this has not yet been reduced to an orderly condition. The nomenclature committee has the result of its work done by Mr. Coit, last ^ummer, in press, in the form of a bul- letin which will be issued shortly. The secretary has the proceedings of the society for the five years from 1903 to 1907, inclusive, in the hands of the printer. In response to the circulars sent out by Prof. Craig last July, in regard to form- ing a supplementary test collection, a large number of roots were sent in and were planted in accordance with the ex- pressed wishes of the society. These, as well as the older collection, were top- dressed with stable manure last fall, which served as a mulch last winter. In regard to the diseases of the peony, we can not be too watchful or too per- sistent in our endeavors to learn all that can be found out about their nature and means of prevention. To the commercial man the matter is not of a directly seri- ous nature, but to the amateurs, and in- directly to the commercial man, it is most serious. I have in mind a peony garden near Boston which was stocked with many rare and choice varieties. Many of the plants had reached their third and fourth years and were fine, large plants. During last summer the wilt and black rot attacked many of them, causing much loss and distress to the owners. In the fall large roots were dug up which were completely destroyed. This is but one instance. There are many others who are suffering and so situated that they cannot change their plants to new ground, but must either give up growing the peony or find some means of checking or preventing the spread of the diseases. Miscellaneous Business. On the statement by Secretary Fewkes that many people thought $5 too high a said that he expected to publish results soon. A general discussion of the present trial plot followed. Great regret was expressed by members of the society that the plot on which the roots were planted would not be properly drained. All agreed, however, that the plants were doing well, considering the conditions. The question of where the society was to meet next year was then taken up. A letter from the Minnesota Horticultural Society was read, asking the Peony So- ciety to hold the exhibition at the Minne- sota State Fair grounds in 1909. Mr. Brown, speaking for Mr. Ward, asked the society to hold the next meet- ing at the Cottage Gardens, Queens, N. Y. Inasmuch as the Cottage Gardens are at the center of a peony growing section, Mr. Brown thought it would be best to hold the next meeting there. It was moved and seconded to accept Mr. Ward's invitation, and the motion was unanimously carried. It was decided to send out a circular letter about May 15, 1909, to learn from the growers when their peony blooms will be at their best. In this way the tinu* of the meeting can be fixed to suit the majority of growers. Election of Officers. The following officers were elected: President— C. W. Ward, Queens, N. Y. Vice-president— C. J. Maloy. Rochester, N. Y. Secretary — A. H. Fewkes, Newton Highlands, Mass. Treasurer — J. H. Humphreys, Germantown. Pa. Director — E. A. Beeves, Cleveland, O.

He gave a brief outline of the work he was doing on peony diseases and meadow road, Catford, London, England ; William Miller, Bar Harbor, Me. ; John Cavers, Oakville, Ontario county, N. Y. ; F. R.

Kosenfield, at West Point, Neb., has one of the largest and finest collec- tions of peonies in America, and that •neans in the world. He has 700 vari- eties, besides thousands of seedlings on the way, and, 1 should judge, if all were cut up and replanted this fall, lie would have half a million. He is a peony specialist, understand- ing all about them, and knows how to keep them strong and healthy. He lias deep, rich, well-drained, sandy loam. The groun. one ll(]\\cl n\' rarh, '!'. < '.

JIarrison. SINGLE PEONIES. Notes on a Little Known Flower. .('oniniorcially, the single peonies are much loss grown than their beauty and other good (]ualitics would seem to war- raut. The fact that they flower oar]i(!r than the double herbaceous class is one great i)oint in their favor. Then, again, their extreme grace appeals to many critical Hower buyers far more than the doubles, the beautiful golden stamens setting ofl" the light-colorod and crimson varieties wonderfnlly. For dining-table centerpieces they are decidedly preferable to the doubles, which are too heavy, no matter how carefully they may be ar- ranged. It is tolerably well known that peony flowers, to keep well, should i)o cut either late in tiic evening or (\'n-ly in the morn- ing, preferably tlu; latter, aiul stood in a good bulk of water in a cold room as soon as jiossible. In the case of the singles it is better to do this before the blooms lia\e reaclicil their full *izo. If treated in this way tlu\v will last in the house fully as well as the doubles. Culture. <'ultural dirci-tious for peonies have been gixcn so often that it would seem as though nothing new could be said on this point. They love rich, deep, well- manured ground, and if it is rather moist, all the better. They succeed well in partial shaile and. it' smne are [ilanteil in such locations, it will jdlow of a longer succession of bloom. While plant ing may lie done from .\ugust until A])ril. we haxc found Se|itemlier an ex- cellent month for this work. If set out thus early, the di\isions get a i-hance to root freely bel'ore freezing \veatlier sets in. Some Goo(i Sorts. I'lach ye;ir sees an addition to the v;i rioti(^s of single peonies from I'luropean and honu' sources, and striking advances are being made in tluMii.

It is all very well to talk over the different ques- tions that naturally confront us, to ex- change our views and thereby get bene- ficial pointers wherever we are able to catch one, but in my humble opinion the whole thing may be simmered down to this, that the law of supply and demand rules the world, in every branch of busi- ness. When the glass factories overproduce, they shut down until their surplus dimin- ishes. It is so with every factory in every line of trade, but not so with the greenhouse man. No? What then? Why, he goes to work and builds ten more houses, in face of the glut, and in so doing we bring on such unwelcome con- ditions as now exist, as they naturally and surely will follow such a course of procedure. Our country is growing, its population is increasing and the bulk of our people appreciate flowers, but there is a limit to all things and the flower market is no exception to this rule. So then, if this method of operation continues as it has in the last ten years, it does not require a very large telescope to see that our days of reckoning must come. I do not wish to be placed oh record as an alarmist. President Roosevelt passed through,^ «mall town four years ago and, not being able to speak to the people that greeted his presence, he sim- ply cried out from the platform of his car, "Let well enough alone!" Pretty good advice to anyone. Frank Jebabek. I have read with interest the comments on Arthur A.

Traendly ridicules the whole matter and casts the old-time slur on Philadelphia's slowness for introducing the subject at all. I think every New Yorker who visited Philadelphia last August will disagree with Mr. Traendly 's assertion about the slowness of our city, and many of them will agree with me when X say that Mr. Traendly 's failure to recognize the im- portance of this question is not a sign of superiority. J. W. Young. [Mr. Traendly did not fail to recog- nize the importance of the subject; rather he recognized it as so big a problem as to be beyond solution except through the gradual changes which are every year ap- parent in the trade, for he said: "It is a condition that we all have to buck against and do the best we can." As for Philadelphia's slowness, Mr. Traend- ly is one of those who lightens life's labors by enjoying his little joke at each step on the journey.

While it is still somewhat early to propagate poinsettias for pan culture, it is well to continue to put in cuttings to produce plants for planting in benches or growing singly in pots to produce large sized bracts for Christmas trade. A greenhouse is not needed for the stock plants now. They will make better cut- tings if kept outdoors and will root freely in a coldframe, in which the lit- tle plants should be placed when first potted. If you have any old stock still in a dormant state, instead of potting the same plant it outdoors, where it can receive some water and will speedily give you a crop of nice cuttings. Be sure to pot off your cuttings as soon as rooted, as they soon become hard in the propagating bench and if the roots are long they will break badly when re- moved. Gardenias. During July is a good time to plant out a bench of gardenias. If cuttings were put in a month ago, they should now be rooted and potted off. Keep these in a warm, moist house, where they can have frequent sprayings overhead, and they will grow surprisingly fast and be fit to plant out within three or four weeks. Gardenias do not want a large body of soil to grow in. We prefer four to six inches and the compost should be of a porous nature. If water, after being applied to the bench, will stand on the surface, you must expect yellowing of the foliage. To have ideal soil condi- tions it should pass away as if poured into a screen. Good drainage is essen- tial. Over this place a layer of fibrous sod, with the grassy side downwards. Sod of a fibrous nature is to be pre- ferred, and use as little of the finer particles as possible. Some old, well dried cow manure, sharp sand and broken charcoal should be added to the loam, but it is better not to use bone or other chemical fertilizers. Make the compost firm and leave a little ring around each plant, in which to apply water for a few weeks. This is preferable to soak- ing the whole bench. Use the spray nozzle on the hose to keep down insect pests, particularly mealy bug. A fine damping overhead twice a day in hot weather will prove helpful. Pinch out the tops of the shoots to keep the plants bushy. -^ Show Pela/c:onium8. As the flowerhig^season for show pel- argoniums ends, stand the plants out- doors in full sunshine. Do not immedi- ately withhold water, as is too often done, but give them a liberal supply for the next three or four weeks, after which time gradually reduce it and lay the plants on their sides. Be sure that the plants are correctly labeled while any flowers remain, and if you are anxious to increase your stock of any varieties, you can get plenty of cuttings now, but, as a rule, we find it suflSciently early to propagate when pruning back the old plants. Peonies. The flowering season for peonies, owing to warm, dry weather, was less extend- ed than usual this year. We hope you marked the good and undesirable sorts. Get rid of the latter and try to increase your stock of the former, August and September being suitable months for di- viding the plants. Remove all seeds from the plants and keep them well cultivated. Some pessimists are opining that peonies are being overdone. There have been too many flowers on the market, but not of the better varieties. Growers who heve bad good white and soft pink shades have found a ready sale for them. The old varieties, which are still most in evidence, are hard to dispose of. You cannot afford to grow these poor kinds. Get some of the more up-to-date ones and remember that peonies are iron- clad plants, that they increase in value each year and, even if you do not sell a flower, the plants themselves will give you good returns on any outlay you may have made on them. Onddium Varicosum Rosenii. Oncidium varicosum Bogersii is a popular yellow fall and winter bloom- ing orchid that is grown to some ex- tent by quite a number of florists. To any wishing to try a few plants, the present is a good time to procure a few newly imported ones, which are now being offered by several dealers. Care- fully sponge over the new plants; cut away any dead bulbs or roots. Lay on a bare piece of bench for a few days, giving them occasional gentle sprayings. When root and growth action starts, place them in pans, pots or baskets, using these of as small size as you can con- veniently get the plants in. A compost of fern fiber, to which a little live sphag- num moss has been added, is suitable. Grow in an airy house where they have good light, but no direct sunshine. Water sparingly until root action is be- coming vigorous. Then apply it more freely. These newly imported plants should all flower next fall or early winter and the following season will produce fine spikes. As their cost is comparatively low and they are splendid for decorative effects, coming in season for the fall shows, it is no wonder that the demand for them constantly increases. Tuberous Begonias. Late started tubers, recently potted off, come in useful during August and September, when flowering plants are none too plentiful. It is true that the demand for such plants with some grow- ers is practically nil, but there are a number of others who do a considerable trade at this season, particularly if t"hey are located near shore, mountain or other resorts. These begonias like some shade, but it should never be heavy. They must have a light bench to do them justice and the shoots, being breakable, should be sup- ported with short stakes. Do not crowd them nor syringe them overhead. For compost they prefer a light but rich mix- ture of well rotted manure, loam and a good addition of sand. If your loam ia heavy, also add some leaf -mold. Six-inch pots will grow fine begonias, but if you prefer larger sized ones, use 7-inch and 8-inch. Splendid specimens can be grown in these two latter sizes. CREOSOTE IN GREENHOUSES. With reference to the use of creosote in greenhouse construction, as discussed in the Review, we can say but little from our own experience, and we have not been able to find any one who can speak from experience. We do not think, however, that it would be safe to use creosote in any manner, as this is a dis- tillation of wood tar or coal tar. Some years ago a house which was built for Robert Hoe was found to be very unsatisfactory. The plants fre- quently lost their leaves and the gardener laid the trouble to several things, among them that there was a gas generated in- side the heating pipes. He had an open tank which was then used closed up and the pipe led outdoors, so there might not be any connection between the heating pipes and the indoor air. This did not help the difficulty in any way, as the plants still dropped their leaves. It was at last found that when the sills were laid on the walls some coal tar paper had been used. This paper was laid on top of the 8-inch brick wall and the sills were bedded down close on top of it. The odor of gas could easily be detected at certain times in the greenhouse. So they had the sills taken up and all the tar paper taken out and the sills re- bedded in cement. After that was done, we believe there was no further trouble. We think it would be very dangerous to plant life to use creosote in any man- ner. It would be more dangerous at the time of the year when the house was closed, or in extremely cold weather, when the fire would be pushed to carry the desired temperature. Andrew Elder. Superintendent of Erection, Lord & Burnham Co. June 25. 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review* CARNATION NOTES. -WEST. — >/. The Plants in the Field. During the months of May and June your carnation plants should make their main growth, and everything you do for them should be done with that end in view. As a rule, the weather conditions during this period are most favorable to plant growth and, if cultivating and top- ping are looked after closely, no trouble is experienced in getting good, fair-sized plants for housing in July and August. During this period rains are usually fre- quent enough, if supplemented with proper cultivation, to insure a sturdy, healthy growth, which, if followed by rather dry weather for a couple of weeks before housing time, will carry the plants through the transplanting season in splendid shape. I have always been a strong advocate of the cultivator in both wet and dry sea- sons, especially in the lafler, and during the last few weeks we have had occasion to verify our good opinion of the culti- vator. During the last few weeks we have had no rain heavy enough to wet the soil deeper than just to lay the dust, and vegetation has been hanging its head during the heat of the day. Uncultivated soil became hard enough to defy the spade. Yet, our carnation field, which has been gone over regularly, has kept mellow, ahd moist, except for the top two inches or less of loose material, which acts as a mulch. Plants cannot suffer under such conditions, and while the growth is not very rapid, yet it is steady and sturdy. Artificial Watering. If we could have a longer growing sea- son in the field, I would certainly prefer those conditions to any other. During such spells the temptation to water arti- ficially is quite strong and many grow- ers yield to it, only to make matters worse. Usually watering with the hose is resorted to, and in most cases not half enough is applied to wet through the dry soil. The plants are freshened up for the time and excited into activity, only to be burnt up worse by the sun the next day. We have seen this happen so often that we would discourage hosing the field plants at any time. If, however, artificial watering is done intelligently and systematically and is supplemented with the cultivator, it can in some eases be made to be of great benefit. For instance, if shortly after planting a dry spell should set in, before the plants have really gotten a good start, a good, thorough watering twice each week will start them into growth. Each watering should be followed by the culti- vator as soon as the soil dries enough to work well, the same as you do after a rain. Cases of this kind are exceptional, liowever, and will be met with, perhaps, once in five years. A Word of Warning. The greatest danger lies in overdoing the thing, and to those who are watering I would offer a word of warning. As I said at the beginning, your carnation plants should make their main growth during May and June if you plant be- tween July 15 and August 15, which seems to be the favorite time among the best growers. During that time, promote the growth as much as your judgment tells you and do it in whatever manner you choose, but after July 1, if you would have success, you must confine your energies to getting the growth into proper shape to stand transplanting. By this I do not mean that growth must cease altogether during that time, but it must not be rapid or soft. If you have ever carried roses over the second season, you will understand what I mean when I say that the plants should be brought to a practical standstill. In the ordinary summer, when the weather during July is hot and dew is scant, the carnation will naturally come to that point, and if transplanted when it is in that semi-dormant condition very little trouble is experienced. But if you wait until late in August and September, when the nights are cool and the dew is heavy, even though the rainfall may be scant, the plants waken up and growth is re- sumed. The growth soon becomes succu- lent, and any disturbance at the roots causes wilting and loss of foliage and in many cases of the whole plant.

The death of Alexander Wallace from heart disease June 17 at his home in Brooklyn, N. Y., came as a great shock to the trade, for there were few members of the profession who had a wider per- sonal acquaintance or who were held in higher esteem. Mr. Wallace was born at Laurencekirk, Kincardineshire, Scotland, November 21^ 1859. His early life was one of struggle against circumstances which would have daunted one less indomitable. At 3 years of age he was left an orphan and until he was 15 the kindliness of John Keppie, the village schoolmaster, was almost the only bright spot .n his existence. Mr. Wallace's first employment was with the Caledonian railroad yid it was while in railroad employ in London that he acquired the mastery of shorthand, which proved of such great value to him in later years. At various times h« was secretary to Thomas Thornton, an attor- ney at Dundee, in whose service he be- came well grounded in the principles of law. Mr. Wallace made a first trip to Amer- ica in 1882, but it was not until 1888 that he came "to this country to make his home. Shortly after his arrival here he entered the employ of A. T. De La Mare, who at that time was conducting a print- ing oflSce in New York city and had just started the publication of the Florists' Exchange. Mr. Wallace was without ex- perience of horticulture or knowledge of the printing trade, but Mr. De La Mare 's keen insight caused him to appreciate that here was a man more than ordinarily well equipped mentally and by nature for the work in hand. In the early days it was a case of every man turning to what- ever most needed doing, but as the pub- lication developed and a division of re- sponsibilities became necessary, the edi- torial management devolved on Mr. Wal- lace and he more than justified Mr. De La Mare 's early estimate of his character and abilities. Mr. Wallace grew with his work; for twenty years he applied himself to his duties and turned out a better and better product. He was en- dowed with a more than ordinarily re- tentive memory. All that he saw, or heard, or read was his for future refer- ence, and as a reporter his work was of most painstaking and thorough character. He was possessed of a rare power of analysis, and it was his habit to go to the bottom of every subject before ar- riving at a conclusion. Under his edi- torial direction the Florists' Exchange early assumed a place high in the regard of the trade— an advocate of clean, sane, safe, conservative policies and enterpris- ing in the gathering and dissemination of trade news. In his editorial labors Mr. Wallace performed inestimable service for horticulture, for, with his fingers on the pulse of things horticultural, his voice was early lifted in warning or encourage- ment, as the case might be. He was deeply studious by nature and his judg- ment, slowly formed, was rarely at fault. Aside from Mr. Wallace's work in the office he found time for much other lit- erary labor. The work by which he will no doubt be longest known is the volume entitled * ' The Heather in Lore, Lyric and Lay, ' ' published in 1903. This work was the result of several years of patient research through the great libraries of the world and is an exposition of the history of Scotland 's flower, including all the literature, in both poetry and prose, which an exhaustive search revealed. He had an uncompleted volume entitled' "Favorite Flowers of Robert Burns." Last year Mr. Wallace contributed a paper entitled "What Scotsmen Have Done for Horticulture in America" at the request of the Scottish Horticultural Association, which received an enthusias- tic reception when presented before that body and which was widely circulated in the British horticultural press. Mr. Wal- lace was the author of the New York Florists' Club's souvenir book in 1900, published at the time of the S. A. F. Alexander Wallace. convention, and his work in the editing of the textbooks published by the De La Mare Co. has been of the highest char- acter. Mr, Wallace was a member of the S. A. F. and was appointed a member of its board of directors by Patrick O'Mara. He also was a member of the American Carnation Society, the Amer- ican Rose Society and the New York Florists' Club. At the meetings of the latter he always was a prominent figure, both in the deliberate affairs of the or- ganization and in its social life, for he was possessed of a rare voice and de- lighted the members with his rendition of the Scottish ballads, which were his favorites. Mr. Wallace married Miss Rachel Ma- rion Banta in 1893 and their home in Brooklyn was the brightest spot in all the world to him. Of kindly, genial aisposition, and with the faculty for remembering names and faces, Mr. Wallace gained a wide per- sonal acquaintance in the trade and of the many who took pleasure in the grasp of his hand thore is not one who will not feel that he personally shares in the great loss which has come upon his wife and his business associates. Carl Anderson. Carl Anderson, chief gardener at the Mountain Branch Soldiers' Home, near Chattanooga, Tenn., died June 12, having been operated on for appendicitis. A wife survives him. Mr. Anderson was 43 years of age. He had charge of the lay- ing out of the grounds of the Mountain Branch Soldiers' Home and planting of trees, shrubbery, flowers, etc. He trans- formed the place from a gully-washed briar patch to as lovely a spot as can be found. M. Cavanaugh. The many members of the trade who have visited the establishment of the Robert Craig Co. at Forty-ninth and Mar- ket streets, Philadelphia, will regret to learn of the death of M. Cavanaugh, an old-time employee whose courtesy to vis- itors caused him to be widely known. AUitter David Rose. AUister David Rose, 44 years old, died June 16, after a long illness, at his home, 116 Orange road, Montclair, N. J. Mr. Rose was bom in Scotland, but came to America when a boy. He removed to Montclair nine years ago, where he en- gaged in business as a florist. He was a member of the Society of American Flo- rists, of the New Jersey Floricultural Society, and was also a Mason and an Elk. He was a member of the Methodist church. Mr. Rose is survived by a widow and three daughters. John Cammack. John Cammack died at his residence, 2553 Brightwood avenue, Washington, D. C, June 15. Mr. Camimack was born in Washington 75 years ago, and had lived there ever since. When a young man he engaged in the florists' business and followed it for years. He was a director of the Columbian National Bank and of the Washington Loan and Trust Co. He was also prominently connected with the Washington Railway and Electric Co., the Franklin Fire Insurance Co., the Co- lumbia Title Insurance Co. and the Real Estate Title Insurance Co. He is survived by his wife and two children, a son and a daughter. The daughter is Mrs. Anna Hardisty, of Washington, and the son is John Ed- mund Cammack, who is attending a col- lege at Emmitsburg, Md. Mr. Cammack was a member of the Oldest Inhabitants' Association. Emanuel Hippard. Emanuel Hippard, for many years a prominent member of the trade in Youngstown, O., died of paralysis June 16, in his home at 103 West Rayen ave- * nue, in that city. He had been ill for more than a year, and during the last ^few days of his life he had suffered in- tensely. He was stricken in Jackson- ville, Fla., six weeks before his death, while returning to Youngstown from a trip to Cuba. He was taken home a short time later in a serious condition, from which he never rallied. Mr. Hippard 's death had been ex- pected for some time by the family and immediate friends; nevertheless, when the end came, it was a distinct shock. Emanuel Hippard was bom in Eliza- bethtown, Pa., August 6, 1845, and at the time of his death was nearly 63 years old. He was a veteran of the Civil war, having served in both the army and navy. He served in Co. G, 1st Pennsylvania Militia, and was a member of Tod Post, G. A. R. For three years Mr. Hippard served as a sailor on the Wachusett, in the Union navy.

G, Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry, from January 26, 1864, to July 13, 1865, when he received an honorable discharge. November 4, 1866, he married Miss Katherine Auchenback, and one daughter was born, Mrs. C. J. Little. Mr. Hippard removed to Youngstown February 28, 1882, and immediately be- gan a business career which marked him as a man of ability in many lines. Shortly after his arrival there he pur- chased the property in West Eayen ave- nue, where the family now resides, and erected thereon a number of greenhouses. Later he constructed the large building now owned by Dr. Booth and opened a flower store. For ten years he conducted these enterprises jointly, with credit to himself and to tHe city. About this time he purchased the farm where the greenhouses of John Walker are now located. These greenhouses were built by Mr. -Hippard and conducted by him until a few years ago, when he dis- posed of them to Mr. Walker. A short time after establishing the plant at Crab Creek he opened in Federal street, in the room now occupied by the Templin Co., a second flower store. This was oper- ated by Mr. Hippard for some time. In recent years, Mr. Hippard had been engaged in the manufacture of a green- house ventilator, which he himself had invented and patented. The ventilator was manufactured in a small factory at the rear of his home, and he also was patentee of the Duplex greenhouse gut- ter and other greenhouse equipment. About one year ago Mr. Hippard suf- fered two slight strokes of paralysis, and soon afterward he suffered a severe stroke. He was taken to a Cleveland hos- pital, and after leaving that institution liis health appeared to be much better. January 1, accompanied by his wife, he went to Cuba and Florida to spend the winter, hoping thereby to benefit his health, which was again beginning to fail. After spending several weeks in Cuba and visiting many points of interest, they returned to Florida and were pro- ceeding by short journeys toward home. At Jacksonville, Fla., he suffered a severe stroke of paralysis, and was taken to a hospital, where he remained until he recovered sufficient strength to con- tinue the journey. After arriving home he rallied and for several days appeared to be recovering. A few weeks later his condition was pronounced serious. Mr. Hippard is survived by his wife and one daughter. The latter is Mrs. C. J. Little, of Youngstown. The sym- pathy of many friends and neighbors is extended to the sorrowing relatives. In his business relations Mr. Hippard was always a man of honor and was highly regarded. His word was good whenever it was given. He was promi- nent in many business enterprises besides those mentioned. The local lodge of Elks numbered him among its members. In this order he was the Second Exalted Ruler of Youngstown lodge. He was also connected with the grand lodge and was one of the oldest members of the order in the city. In the trade societies he always was active until failing health overtook him. In his home life Mr. Hippard is de- scribed by those who knew him best as being ideal in his relations. He was gen- erous, kind and considerate, and always strove to make those about him happy. THE TRADE IN INSECTIC3DES. As Affected by the Proposed Law. On Thursday, June 18, beginning at 10 a. m., there was an all-day session held in the American Institute building, West Forty-fourth street. New York city, by manufacturers, representatives of the entomologists, and some df the leading chemists who have charge of the state control of the insecticide laws, for the discussion of Senate Bill 6515 and House of Representatives Bill 21316, entitled ' ' A bill for preventing the manufacture, sale or importation of adulterated or misbranded fungicides, Paris greens, lead arsenates and other insecticides, and for regulating traffic therein and for other purposes." There were about forty persons present, and all business commenced promptly. E. Hippard. Lewiston, Pa. — R. W. Bowersox is re- painting his range of glass. The Senate Bill and the House of Representatives Bill are the same, ex- cepting that in section 7 there is a fourth clause added to the House of Rep- resentatives Bill, which was amended. Section by section was taken up. The bill appears to be promulgated by those connected with the Agricultural Depart- ment. The first section provides that any vio- lation is a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not to exceed $500 or one year's imprisonment, or both, And if brought up on a second count, the fine is doubled, with the imprisonment clause in the dis- cretion of the court. This section was adopted. Sections 3 and 4, the same. Section 4, which provides for the ex- amination of specimens of fungicides, Paris greens, lead arsenates and other insecticides, called for discussion looking for enlightenment. Under section 4 a motion was made to insert the word will- fully (willfully violated), but the ento- mologists and representatives of the De- partment voted against that. In section 5 a discussion arose as to who should have the authority to start prosecutions, and a clause, "under authority of the Secretary of Agriculture, ' ' was inserted, so as to make it plain that in the na- tional bill there was some head to its enforcement arid not leave the initiative to any director of experiment stations or agent of any state, or the District of Columbia. Sections 6 and 7 caused the most dis- cussion. The intent of the promoters of the bill seems to be to concentrate un- questioned authority of oversight in the hands of the Department of Agriculture, and the manufacturers brought up vari- ous questions, ^11 of which were fairly and frankly considered. in section 6 the words * ' man or other animals" were stricken out, so as to confine the section to its legitimate pur- pose, that of affecting insecticides used upon vegetation. There was also a defi- nition added, to the effect that the term * ' miscible oils ' ' shall include all prep- arations of petroleum to be used in water. In section 7, after some discus- sion in which the actual work of the manufacturing chemist is compared with the laboratory chemist 's small tests, the amount of arsenious oxide, AsjOS, .was made fifty per cent instead of fifty-five per cent. The standard of lead arsen- ates is one of the things which are in- definite. There is a variation in the actual working of these things, from the commercial basis, where they are sent out literally by the tons. The question of making a commercial article match a chemically pure preparation for a special test, the quantity of water permissible, the actual working conditions of trans- portation, the evaporation of water by a leaky package — that is to say, the real * * work-a-day " conditions, which all com- mercial articles are subject to, were talked over, as affecting any penalty, and the result of the talk was apparently some enlightenment. There was an ex- pression of opinion by the professional entomologists that no construction was wished, nor the insertion of anything in the bill, which could in any way hamper fair trade. The fourth division of the House Bill reads: "Any article which is intended for use on vegetation and shall contain any substance or substances, which, al- though destroying, repelling or mitigat- ing insects, shall be injurious to such vegetation." This clause, which is not in the Senate Bill, was taken up, as it is a trap which might be used to the great annoyance and harm of anyone, for there are no substances commonly used but what, if a small overdose is used, will destroy vegetation, and as the paragraph read there was no explanation as to its construction. To qualify this paragraph, the words, "by following the directions expressed upon the package, ' ' were added. With this amendment the section was adopted. A question arose in regard to selling in foreign countries — that while the con- sular service of the United States was endeavoring to increase foreign trade, the demands of foreigners, which may call for something entirely different from what is used in this country, should not in any way be restricted. A motion was made that the bill as amended, according to the secretary's notes, be adopted, and the same was car- ried. A resolution was offered on the part of the manufacturers, to the effect that they thank the gentlemen in charge of this meeting, E. Dwight Sanderson, of Durham, N. H., and Prof. Smith, of New Brunswick, N. J., for inviting them to be present. Benjamin Hammond. Port Huron, Mich. — The green- houses of M. Ullenbruch, which were al- most demolished by wind, suffering a damage of $6,000, will be repaired im- mediately. ■^:'--t-v- r ■■-i-'(. ^1,' 14 The Weekly Florists' Review. June 25, 1908.

Extreme summer heat seemed to have a good effect on business last week; at least, there seemed to be more life in the business than for some weeks. Many of the growers are now throwing out their plants, preparatory to getting ready for replanting. The result has been a gen- eral shortening up along all lines. This, with several weddings and commence- ments, kept everyone on the jump trying to get enough good stock for the orders. The result of this was shown in the face of the commission man. Instead of hunting customers, they were hunting him, and in cases where he had taken advance orders he was doing a little hunt- ing himself. But the rush was only for a day or two and things seem to have set- tled now for a regular summer grind; at least, that is the opinion of most of the trade. Various Notes. The vacation time is now here and a number of the boys have already started away. Some are fishing and camping. Others will visit other cities, to see the sights. Hoo-Hoo. DETROIT. The Market. The last week has been a somewhat strenuous one for most of the retailers and the commission houses as Avell. Car- nations have been plentiful, but there has been a remarkable scarcity of roses, mainly of pink. The graduating exer- cises in the schools created a demand, such as tlie supply could by no means meet. Besides roses, there was a big demand for sweet peas, peonies, Beauties, iris, and, in fact, every available flower. The local coniniission houses report one of the best weeks in their history. A large quantity of greens has also been used up. There seems to be little doing in the wedding line. Variotis Notes. C. W. Ward, passing through, partici- pated in ai fairly well attended meeting of the club June 17. Mr. Ward enter- tained the members present with a talk on various subjects. Just what Fred Pautke had on for June 23, at Grosse Pointe, could not be learned, but it must have been a pretty respectable decoration, judging from the way he was buying roses, peonies, etc. H. S. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market Last week's experience served to show the possibilities which underlie the mar- ket if things only would get the right swing and keep it. Every now and then there come a few days when conditions seem like old times, and with the quan- tity of stock now available a big total is run up without any special change in prices. At the first of last week the vol- ume of business increased and it held until well toward the end of the week, with the result that many wholesalers reported an increase as compared with the same week last year — and a good many of them have not been able to re- port an increase for quite a few weeks. In some cases the increase was large, be- cause stock is abundant and, when there is a legitimate outlet for it, it totals a big sum of money. The trouble has been all along that the legitimate demand took only a small part of the stock and the greater part of the receipts had to be cleared through the medium of job-lot sales. Several wholesalers have called atten- tion to the marked effect of weather changes, for it has been more noticeable this June than usual that cool days would bring a run of business, which would be shut off completely when the weather turned hot again. Of course the wed- dings and school closings have called for most of the flowers shipped out of this market, but in cool weather the weddings and commencements are accompanied by other social events calling for flowers, while these are shut off completely and there is nothing left but funeral work when the thermometer registers 90 de- grees in the shade. Monday, June 22, was the hottest June day the weather oflSce has recorded in many years; it was 92 degrees up at the top of the post-office dome, and 96 de- grees on the street. It was but natural that business dwindled away to almost nothing, but cool weather is predicted for the end of the week and revival of demand will follow. Supplies are not as great as they have been, though they still are large in many lines. Beauties are abundant, but not many can be classed as good. The best are selling well and the poorest hardly at all. The supply of summer roses is and will be greater this year than last. Summer business steadily has been in- creasing and more and more growers are catering to it. Aside from the roses grown specially for summer cutting, re- ceipts now are light, for most growers either are replanting or drying off. There is a first-class call for Kaiserin. There are some excellent carnations, considering the season and the unsea- sonably hot weather. In fact, carnations June 25, 1908.

Peonies are selling well if good, be- cause they are about the best flower now obtainable. The stock stored by the in- experienced people goes at the buyer's price, and on the 90-degree days the peo- ple who use this class of material would not even make an offer. Candidum lilies have come from Mich- igan to further depress the market for Easter lilies. Valley, which has been in strong demand, is again abundant. Sweet peas are plentiful, but with short stems, and are badly affected by the heat; they are poor sale. Gladioli, daisies, Canter- bury bells and other outdoor flowers are abundant and cheap. Green goods are moving fairly well. Beginning July 1, all the wholesale houses will close at 5 p. m. daily. A Large Funeral. The largest funeral held in Chicago in some rears was that of Gil W. Bar- nard, June 21. He was said to have been the best known Mason in the world and the funeral services at Medinah Temple were attended by thousands of members of the order; 1,000 knights in uniform escorted the body to the grave and there were 200 carriages following the hearse. Naturally the showing of flowers was one of the largest ever seen in Chicago. W. J. Smyth had several of the largest orders, from the Masonic bodies, but all the leading retailers were represented by designs at the Temple. Mildred's Store Changes Hands. June 23 H. S. Morton sold the A. Hil- dred store at 3030 Indiana avenue to J. B. Opitz, who took possession imme- diately. Mr. Morton has been in St. Bernard's hospital for a month and the doctors tell him he must have a change of climate. His first store was at 96 East Thirty- first street. This he will leave in charge of his sister. He also has a greenhouse establishment at Rockford, 111., and, after spending a few days there, will go west for an indefinite stay for his health. J. B. Opitz is the successor to Phillips & Opitz, who bought out Mr. Morton's brother, Charles E. Morton, at 3626 Cot- tage Grove avenue. Since buying out his partner, Mr, Opitz has started another place, on Cottage Grove, opposite Oak- woods cemetery, so that he now has three establishments. The Picnic Arrangements have been completed for the annual picnic of the Florists' Club, at Morton Grove, July 19. Trains leave the Union depot. Canal and Adams streets, at 9:30 a. m. and 12:40 p. m.

Among those who called at the Review oflSce the first of this week were: C. W. Eichling, New Orleans, who has a son, Phil, employed with H. C. Rowe, in the Palmer House; J. F. Rosen- field, peony specialist from West Point, Neb., who once lived in Chicago and now has three brothers here; H. G. Fleming, of Fairmont, W. Va., who is visiting rel- atives at Waukegan; A. C. Zvolanek, Bound Brook, N. J., who is on his way home from California and who is stop- ping to visit the growers who are using his sweet pea seed. Various Notes. There are a good many geraniums around town, stock that was not ready at the time it was wanted; in May, when nearly everyone was short of geraniums in bloom. Klehm 's Nurseries are reported to have ordered a large quantity of stock of the peony M. Jules Elie for growing for cut flowers. The Sprague-Smith Co. states that growers who need glass for repairs, etc., will be making no mistake if they pick it up right away. Factories are closing, but there are good stocks of greenhouse sizes still on hand. There may be no immediate advance, but there is almost no prospect of any further decline. The W. W. Barnard Co. is contributing considerably to the supply of peonies, but is doing its own selling from store to store, as is done with florists ' supplies. Bassett & Washburn have 5,000 pots in the present crop of giganteum lilies. They are giving more than three flowers each plant and are coming along rapidly. There is another crop started for July. C. M. Dickinson, at Hunt's, says the growers are now taking hold of the Witt- bold bench in good shape. The sales of the clamp for erecting the molds, which is the patented feature, are now quite heavy. Peter Reinberg has demolished the Iwiler shed just back of his residence and is extending the greenhouses to occupy the space. The heating of this range will hereafter be done from the boilers at the next stack south, giving him one less boiler plant to operate. R. Mayer, who is operating the Reissig greenhouses at Riverside, will entertain the entire staff of the A. L. Randall Co., with their families, at his place Sunday, June 28. George Reinberg expresses himself as well pleased with the June business. He has had a good cut from Moulton, Rich- mond and Killarney and is now getting quite a lot of Beauties. Wietor Bros, have begun to cut from their young Beauties. The Benthey-Coatsworth (Jo. says that .Tune 22 the thermometer registered higher in its store than it ever has be- fore. It was 87 degrees under the mid- day sun; 96 on the street. The J. B. Deamud (,'o. is handling large quantities of first-class summer Beauties. .John Zech says he thinks the florists can all afford to take a day off and that the club's picnic ought to be on a week day. Weiland & Risch have a new red seed- ling rose from which they now are cut- ting a few dozen flowers a day. The only apparent trouble is mildew on the foliage and they think they have a good thing in it. August Poehlmann says that Cardinal, Mrs. Palmer and Killarney have done ex- cellently during the recent hot weather. John Poehlmann says city business is quiet, but that shipping trade has been first-class all through June. The George Wittbold Co. has been turn- ing out some unique funeral work. Some fine wreaths have been made of Canter- bury bells, odd but pleasing. A funeral wending its way to Oak- woods June 21 attracted special atten- tion because on the roof of the pall-bear- ers' van there was a fire department hose wagon, reproduced in red carnations. It was too- big to go in any carriage, so they tied it on top of the bus. That prince of good fellows, John Steinmetz, salesman for the W. W.

Took his family along, so they can all sit under a shady tree and enjoy the rural scenery. E. C. Amiing says he is surprised day after day at the way the sales foot up. The demand is not strong, stock is of hot weather quality and prices are low, but he says sales foot up a much better figure than one would expect from the listless- ness of the buyers. Vaughan & Sperry arc figuring on shortly adding to their space in the Flower Growers' market. They look for a good season next fall. Kennicott Bros.

ONCINNATL The Market. Last week was one of warm summer weather and regular summer business. But it was good summer business, at that. There was a gpod demand, and the sup- ply was just about equal to it, with the exception of a few varieties of flowers. Sweet peas were in heavy supply, and the demand was not large enough to move even a good proportion of them. The price was away down in consequence, and scarcely enough was realized on them to pay for the trouble of picking. With the possible exception of such outdoor flowers as feverfew, candytuft, etc., there were no other oversupplies, but things were nicely balanced. Lily of the valley had quite a run, and several good orders had to be turned down. Longiflorum lilies were also gooij property and sold out well. Candidum lilies were in good sup- ply and sold out well. A few cold storage peonies are still ooniiug in, but they are not keeping well this year. They bloomed in too hot a spell of weather this year, and they drop about as soon as you take them out of storage. Carnations are on their last legs, and what stock does come in is poor. A few more days and they will be a thing of the past till next fall, and when their quality is as poor as it is at pres- ent, we are glad to see the last of them. Roses, too, are sick looking, and those that are free of mildew are so small and pop open so quickly that they are not worth much. Beauties are still good, but even when cut verj' tight they hardly keep over night. We are well stocked with green goods now. Smilax, Sprengeri and asparagus are in good supply. New ferns are com- ing from all directions. The Michigan and eastern ones are in and are of good quality. Various Notes. A meeting of the directors of the Flo- rists' Society was held June 22. Owing to lack of interest among the members, the society did not do anything last win- ter. It had become just about impossible to get the members to come to the meet- ings, but now, with the approaching of I the S. A. F., ft was decided to try to stir things up and see if some interest could not be instilled into it again. Also, it has been the intention all along to extend to the S. A. F. an invitation to meet in this city on that society's twenty-fifth anni- versary, which will be next summer. In order to carry out these plans, and make it possible for the florists of this city to entertain the S. A. F. in a manner be- fitting the dignity of the society, it was decided to collaborate with the Cincin- nati League, an organization of business men of this city who make it their busi- ness to bring conventions to this city. From present indications it would appear that everything will move forward smoothly, and that Cincinnati will be in the field at Niagara Falls in August with a pressing invitation for the S. A. F. to meet in this city in 1909. The florists here appreciate the fact that the central location of Cincinnati will tend to make the meeting held here the greatest ever held by the society, and they want to take steps to insure every visitor having the time of his life and returning home with words of praise for Cincinnati and the Cincinnati florists.

The Market Conditions showed some improvement last week, thanks largely to school gradu-' ations and other exercises. Demand is now lighter and while prices have risen slightly from their lowest level, this is due more to reduced supplies than to increased demand. Koses are much more scarce; in fact, beyond some good Kai- serin and Carnot there are few decent flowers coming in. Prices on these show a little advance. Some good outdoor hybrids are still coming in, but with a continuation of the hot, dry weather, their season will soon end. Carnations are now small and poor. Some growers are sending in few, being preparing for their new crop. Peonies are about over. The late flowers have sold well, but the main crop varieties brought poor prices. Some good M. Jules Elie made $1.50 per dozen. There are now plenty of outdoor sweet peas of good quality. Demand for val- ley, which has been fairly good, is now failing off. Several growers started bringing in asters last week. These, al- though small and short-stemmed, made $1 per hundred. For other flowers de- mand is limited. For window displays a good many gladioli and nymphsea are now being used. Rose and Strawberry Show. It taxed the resources of the main exhibition hall and one of the smaller halls to hold the exhibits June 20 and 21. Although only one class was pro- vided for roses, there was a big display of these flowers. M. H. Walsh had over 600 fine blooms and took first and third for the best general display. W. J. Clemson, J. O. Christensen gardener, was second. Mr. Walsh had quantities of fine flowers of Frau Karl Druschki, Margaret Dickson, Ulrich Brunner, Mme. Gabriel Luizet and many other good va- rieties. There were also large rose dis- plays from W. A. Riggs, J. G. Wright, Colonel Frederick Mason, E. L, Lewis gardener; W. A. L. Bazeley, Mrs. Fred- erick Ayer, George Page gardener; Mrs. E. M. Gill and others. T. C. Thurlow & Co. had a fine collection of peonies, a display of these also coming from George HolUs. For fifteen bottles Campanula medium, Mrs. J. L.

For fifteen baskets, two quarts in each, George F. Wheeler, George V. Fletcher and F. E. Coburn were win- ners. For best new variety, Wilfred Wheeler led with Golden Gate. The leading strawberries in the show were Marshall, Golden Gate, Barrymore and Sample. For the first time in twelve years Marshall was beaten by the new variety, Barrymore. Golden Gate show- ed up grandly in several classes. William Downs received a first-class certificate for a new forcing tomato of Farquhar & Co. 's introduction. W. J.

The new schedule for the January and March shows of 1909 is ready. At the show January 16 a silver medal is of- fered for the best undisseminated car- nation. The spring exhibition will last five days, the dates being March 24 and 28. Several hundred dollars more than in former years are offered in prizes and some attractive new classes are add- ed. A silver medal is offered for the best new rose not in commerce. For the best mantel decoration prizes of $50 and a silver gilt medal, $30 and a silver medal and $20 and a bronze medal are offered.

The Ritiog Eastern Market Conditions have varied strikingly since last week's report. Wednesday and Thursday, June 17 and 18, were days of excellent demand and limited supply, the unusually cool nights following extremely hot weather reducing the output greatly. The hot weather of the days following last week and the early days of this week increased the supply, the demand falling off. Beauties from the new planting have made their appearance. The flowers are an improvement on the old stock, but the stems are much shorter. There are still some excellent old crop Beauties to be had. This rose has been in demand, more so than any other. Valley is the next most popular flower on the list, indicating that the June wed- dings are not yet over. Sweet peas have also sold well, but the supply has in- creased to such tremendous proportions as to make the marketing of the whole stock an impossibility. Still, all in all sweet peas have sold as well this June as ever before, and that is saying a great deal. Cattleyas are still fairly plentiful, but the demand has fallen off. Some good carnations are to be seen, the average prices being much better than two weeks ago, owing more to the cutting off of the played-out stock than to any special demand. Kaiserin leads the smaller roses, this splendid summer variety being again in full crop. Killarney comes next, with Bride, Maid and Liberty fair in spots only. Richmond is out of the race, until cooler weather. Lilium candidum has been in good supply, and sold well. The home crop is nearly over. Peonies can be had from cold storage. Easter lilies are rather scarce. Asparagus is espe- cially good value in plumosus, but no- body seems to want Sprengeri.

David Rust, receiver for the William Graham Co., closed the retail flower shop at 104 South Thirteenth street, Tuesday, June 23, at six p. m., not to be reopened. Mr. Rust selected this date in order to fill a large wedding order up the state, which was made up in the store on Tues- day and expressed to its destination. When asked concerning the winding up of the company's affairs, Mr. Rust said that he was gathering all the decorating paraphernalia and other effects of the company at Horticultural hall. When all are brought together he will have them catalogued and announce the date of a public sale. At this sale he will also dispose of the lease of his store at 104 South Thirteenth street, which runs until December 31 of the present year. The closing of the Graham store marks an epoch in the flower history of this city. For something like a quarter of a century the Graham Co. has leased this store at 1Q4 South Thirteenth street under various names, and carried on the retail and decorating business there, the father and two sons being at different times in the management. Mr. Rust fur- ther announced that progress has been made in disposing of the plants at Logan. There are still orchids to be marketed. The Olney place was closed by Mr, Rust some months ago.

Swayne, Ken- nett Square, would build certain houses. Lord & Burnham material, semi-iron con- struction. The Eeview, being much on the alert, sent Phil to Kennett one day last week to investigate. The investiga- tion disclosed four magnificent connect- ing houses, 28x200 feet each, built in the most approved style. The roofing material is in position, ready for glaz- ing. It further developed on inquiry that these houses were owned and ojp- erated by the firm of Swayne & Pow- ell, consisting of J. Bancroft Swayne and Clifford S. Powell. Their location is on the Baltimore Central, one-quarter of a mile from Kennett station, adjoin- ing Mr. Swayne 's mushroom-growing and Anglo-American spawn-producing plants. The object of the houses is to produce tomatoes for the eastern mar- kets, with the possibility of mushrooms being added. It is doubtful whether there is a finer tomato-growing range in Chester county today. Mr. Swayne said that the houses would probably be planted about September 1. Various Notes. The outdoor sweet pea exhibition of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society was held in Horticultural hall on Tues- day, June 23, from 2 to 10 p. m. President Hahman, of the Florists' Club, proposes to call up discussion on the cooperation paper, read at the June meeting, as unfinished business at the July meeting.

Cavanaugh removed a figure well known in florists' circles in this city. Mr. Cavanaugh had been as- sociated, in the minds of all visitors to Forty-ninth and Market streets, with the Bobert Craig Co. for so long that prob^ ably half of them would have told you that he was a member of the family, Mr. C&vanaugh was a gentleman at heart, a good judge of plants and flowers, pains- taking and conscientious in the perform- ance of his duties, and a lover of every- thing in plants. He will be sadly missed. Mr. Carbone, of Boston, spent a short time here lately. Edward Dungan, with "William Henry Maule, went to Detroit to attend the Seedsmen's Convention, where he will read a paper. Thomas Atkinson, manager for Walter P.

Mr. Ber- kowitz favored Phil with an advance view of some samples of novelties now coming in to his firm. Improvements have been made in the oflBce arrange- ments here. M. Rice & Co. are busily engaged tak- ing account of stock before the close of their fiscal year, June 30. The death of Alexander Wallace, edi- tor of the Florists' Exchange, came as a great shock to Philadelphians last week. Mr. Wallace was here at the April meeting of the Florists' Club and spoke at that meeting in the discussion on Mr. Pyle's paper. He then seem'ed in the best of health and spirits. Fred J.

TheMaHcet How can a market worthy of the name exist with a temperature day after day of 90 degrees and over? And yet Sat- urday and Monday, owing to the lessen- ing of supply, better prices ruled, and, with the possible extra demands of com- mencement week, may be maintained until July. Beauties were scarce at 25 cents June 21. Brides and Maids ad- vanced to 5 cents and carnations also ap- preciated, the best of them touching $2 per hundred. The midsummer prices of the June weeks are probably the bottom for the season. The better prices are only for the selected stock. The mil- dewed roses and the small and sleepy carnations are better kept at home. They only demoralize the market. Many of the street merchants are at the summer resorts. This outlet for any surplus grows smaller weekly. Peonies are done. Valley is lower. The June weddings are about over.

July 1 the New York Florists' Club picnics at Wetzel's Point, and at the same delightful resort July 16 the Greek-American Association will cel- ebrate its second anniversary, with George D. Nicholas as president and George Cotsonas as secretary. The Cleary Horticultural Co. and El- liott & Sons wound up the season's auc- tions Tuesday, June 23, with large sales of palms, ficus, ferns and plants of every kind. Attendance and prices were satis- factory. This has been the most prosper- ous season these seductive orators have ever known. W. F, Kasting, of Buffalo, was in the city June 22, conferring with President Traendly on matters of importance con- cerning the meeting of the S. A. F. at Niagara Falls and the great flower show at Chicago in November. Mr. Traendly offers a cup valued at $100 to the flo- rists' club carrying off the highest hon- ors at bowling in the August competition, and Mr. Kasting says the best eight al- leys in Buffalo have already been se- cured for the contest. John P. Cleary had a birthday celebra- tion Saturday, June 20, prior l^.his pur- chasing trip to Europe early iir July. The Brooklyn Retail Florists' Associa- tion held an important meeting Monday evening, June 21, at the Imperial, in that city. The membership of this society is growing rapidly. Among the fat men much in evidence since the Taft nomination, visiting New York lately, was Edwin Seidewitz, of Baltimore. Mr. Bolles, of Brooklyn, celebrates next week his seventieth birthday. He traces his genealogy back nearly 300 years. Henry Luhrs, lieutenant at Myer's, on Madison avenue, and Miss Arabella Eisle, of this city, were married June 24 and the boss decorated for the occasion. Leo Klein, of Long Island City, was rejoicing June 22 on the arrival of the stork with a son and heir. B. Rosens, with his family, is spending the summer at his cottage at Rockaway Beach. A. Warendorff and wife have moved to their home at Averne-by-the-Sea. The funeral services held at the Wash- ington Street Methodist church, Brook- lyn, June 20, in memory of Alexander Wallace, were attended by a large gath- ering of his relatives and friends. Many of the wholesale and retail florists of New York and Brooklyn evidenced their respect by their presence and by the wealth of floral offerings. The New York Florists' Club and the different horticultural societies, to which Mr. Wal- lace belonged, all sent beautiful memen- tos of respect and sorrow. Universal sympathy is felt for Mrs. Wallace in her sudden and great bereavement. The trade has lost one of its brightest lights and 24 The Weekly Florist!^' Review^ June 25, 1908.

These are the days in New York when recounts are in fashion. Sad days for the mayor and Joseph Manda. The re- count for the Traendly transportation makes Manda 's average 154 17/18, so he loses the trip by an eyelash. Not to let the generous president escape, however, Fenrich has been coming on in the stretch and with only one game to bowl has an average for seventeen games of over 160. The rest of the club are out of the running because of absence, al- though Donaldson, Marshall and Schrei- ner are bowling strong and will doubtless complete the team that represents New York at the national convention.

The Market Ihe market last week wa.s quite active in demand, but stock of all kinds is poor and consignments are growing smaller each day. The fag end of school closings caused mo'st of the demand last week; social work is at its end and from now on we can only depend on funeral work. The weather has at last become hot and the long spell of rains come to an end. In looking over the wholesale market June 22 we found plenty of Beauties of fair quality. All other roses are poor. Carnations are holding up well, but are becoming scarcer every day. Sweet peas are plentiful, but not of extra good quality. Gladioli are com- ing in and sell well. Good valley is still to be had. Only a few asters are now in. These should be in plenty soon, Smilax, ferns of all kinds and plenty of good asparagus are to be had. Varioui Notes. William Osseck, of the firm of W. C.

The happy couple left the same evening for a honeymoon trip through the east, to be gone two weeks. Both Mr. Osseck and his bride are well known in the trade here, who are with me in extending our congratulations and wishing them much joy and happiness. The William C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. was incorporated last week, with a capital of $5,000 fully paid up, to carry on the sale of cut flowers at whole- sale at 1316 Pine street, St. Louis. The incorporators are William C. Smith, W. H. Osseck and Christian Smith. The wholesalers gave out their list of players who will compose their ball team June 22, as follows: George Schrefer, p.; Fred Alves, c. ; Ed. Gerlach, Ist b. ; Joe O'Rourke, 2d b.; L. Shippers, 3d b.; Al Gumz, 8. 8. ; C. Sanders, Otto Bru- ning and W. C. Smith, fielders; H. G. Berning, George Angermueller and C. A. Kuehn, subs. Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Weber, their daughter, Tillie, and Linnie Meinhardt left last week for a four weeks' trip through the western states. Frank Weber and J. W. Schuette, the only local representatives of the nursery trade from here who attended the Mil- waukee convention, have returned and re- port a good time and a well attended meeting. Theresa Badaracco, who is well known in the retail business here, is taking vocal lessons. Her fine soprano voice will some day be heard in grand opera. Miss Theresa reports a splendid trade during the season just closed. Adolf Brix reports that he had a good business season, with a great many extra large funeral designs. He will again give a free flower show this fall on a much larger scale than last year. For a short vacation Mr. Brix will take a trip north next month. The Horticultural Society's execufive board, of which C. C. Sanders is chair- man, held its regular monthly meeting June 16 at the M. A. C. Club rooms. Business pertaining to the fall show was transacted. As yet the location has not been selected. Chairman Sanders re- ports the meeting well attended and looks for a successful show this fall. The hall question is about the only hard problem they have to solve. The Englemann Botanical Club held its regular meeting last week in the Central high school. The club will hold no meetings during the next three months. This meeting was fairly well attended. The Kohr Floral Co., Ohcar Heile and the Diemer Floral Co., all on South Broadway, say they are well satisfied with the business of the season. Design work has been as good as any year. Around the wholesale district there is a great rivalry as to who is the best pitcher, George Schrefer, of the whole- salers, or Oscar Huetcmann, of the re- tailers. Both are great ball players and the result of the game will hang on them. Both are in great form for the contest July 15. The Florists' Club's trustees met last week in the office of W. C. Smith & Co., and mapped out a program for the big doings at the club's annual picnic July 15. A special effort will be made by them to have all the retailers as well as all the wholesalers close up shop a half day for this occasion. If this can be accomplished the largest gathering of florists and their employees will be out that day. Among the features will be the ball game and the bowling. J. J. B. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS.

Seed Trade News. AMEBIC AN SEED TBADB ASSOCIATION. Pres.. George S. Green, Chicago; First Vlca- irea., M. H. Duryea. New York: Sec'y .and Treas., 0. E. Kendel. Cleveland. TwenlTHJlxth annual convention at Hotel Pontchartrain, De- troit. Micb.. June 23 to 25. 1908. T Note there are more than two solid pages of European advertisements in this week's Review. Henry W. Wood will invite the Seed Trade convention to come to Eichmond, Va., next year. The crop inspectors have been afield in the Michigan pea district for a week or more. The usual amount of roguing has been necessary, but conditions gen- erally have been normal. It is reported that in the San Juan district of California sweet pea crops are not so short as in the sections further north. There are some sweet peas for seed at Los Angeles, but these, too, are poor. The radish seed crops in Michigan are making favorable progress. The high prices of the past season stimulated the planting of a good acreage and the pros- pect is for a much larger production than last season. M. H. Duryea states that the follow- ing members of the New York Produce Exchange have just been appointed by the president to serve on the com- mittee on seeds for the ensuing year: •Wm. Jacot, Marshall H. Duryea, Ernest Wehncke, O. W. F. Randolph, and Chas. Wimmer. The onion-set acreage at Chicago is short of last year's; one large grower particularly failed to get in as much seed as was contemplated, because the ground was too wet to plant until the date was 80 late as to make the crop doubtful. The weather conditions lately hare been fa- vorable and good growth has been made, in many cases overcoming already the lateness of the start. Generally speak- ing, prospects are good on the acreage planted. Reports from Louisville are of a normal acreage and crops doing well. A. C. ZvOLANEK, Bound Brook, N. J., is en route home after spending a fort- night in the sweet pea districts of Cali- fornia. His specialty is a strain of sweet peas for early flowering under glass and he says that his orders for August deliv- ery considerably exceed those of last year, especially from Europe. Last year he placed his stock seed all with one grower in California and got caught by the crop failure, so this year he gave sev- eral growers a part of the stock seed. Personal inspection has shown him that sweet peas are a decided short crop on the coast, but that several growers have some scattered lots that are turning out better than the average, and Mr. Zvola- nek says he expects more seed from his stock than he got last year. THE DETROIT CONVENTION. A Successful Meeting. The twenty-sixth annual convention of • the American Seed Trade Association is in session at the Hotel Pontchartrain at Detroit this week.

Green reviewed the history of the last year. He referred briefly to the general conditions of the year and the work of the association, with a brief account of the effort to secure a modification of the so-called pure seed bill introduced in congress by Mr. Mann, with the details of which the trade already had been ac- quainted. The address showed that Mr. Green had put much thought on the sit- uation and its discussion was postponed to an hour when it could be gone into more thoroughly than was possible so early in the session. The report of Secretary Kendel showed a membership of 155. Receipts for the year were $2,019.44 and expenditures $1,036, balance $983.44. G>inmittee Reports. The committee on the revision of the telegraph code was authorized to add to its membership representative men of the grass, flower and vegetable seed interests and proceed with the revision of the pres- ent code, or to prepare an entirely new one. M. H. Duryea is chairman. Charles N. Page made a report on pos- tal affairs and on motion of Mr, Wood the committee was instructed to draw up suitable resolutions setting forth the as- sociation's views in regard to a reason- able parcels post, Mr. Page to remain chairman of this committee.

On Wednesday the committee on presi- dent's address reported as follows: On the recommendation to discontinue the committee on weights and measures, while we sympathize with the feeling which prompts the recommendation, yet in hopes that a solution of the problem may be found we advise continuing this as one of the standing committees to be appointed by the incoming president.

Keeney read a paper entitled "The Effect of Low Prices on the Pro- duction of High Grade Stocks." All are agreed as to the results, and Mr. Keeney simply gave specific examples of the ef- fect. Albert McCuUough talked on ' ' Fire In- surance for Seedsmen"; he had pre- pared no paper. He said the subject was one of vital importance, for the item of expense for insurance opens the eyes when the aggregate is figured in at the end of the year. He thought it wrong that the insurance companies should clas- sify seeds at different rates in some states; in his opinion, this should not be. He said he found the impression in the minds of some insurance people that it is almost impossible to obtain a satisfac- tory adjustment of a fire loss in seeds. Ho said that insurance men looked upon seeds as a hazardous risk, which causes the high rate. He said too few seeds- men read their policies carefully, which they should do. Mr. McCullough sug- gested that, as interests are mutual, there should be cooperation in the matter of insurance and he made the suggestion Stokes Standard Pansy Seed stokes* Standard Mixed Pansy Is the finest strain of Giant Pansies it is possible to produce.

Y., read before the American Seed Trade Associa- tion, in convention at Detroit, June 23 to 25, 1908.] Regarding the "Effect of Low Prices on the Production of fiigh Grade Seed Stocks," we have simply to refer to a little recent history. Fifteen to twenty years ago a poor stock of Alaska peas was as rare as a good stock of the same variety is now. Up to that time prices had been good. There was money in Alaskas for the farmer, for the seed grower, for the seedsman and for the planter, but overproduction resulted in low prices, and low prices caused a lack of interest and a relaxing of that eter- nal vigilance which is the price of suc- cess in producing a good stock or in keeping it good. The thrashing machines used in thrashing Alaskas were also used in thrashing Blue Imperials, Wisconsin Blues and other field varieties, and when- ever a thrashing machine changes from one variety to another, it is pretty cer- tain to carry a few quarts of peas in the machine and add them to the next PANSY Famous Strains of Mam- moth Mixed Pansies 8. & W.

In this manner Wiseon- sin Blues were frequently mixed with Alaskas, and where extreme care was not exercised to take these out, regardless of cost, the stocks became mixed and a bad matter became worse through hybridiza- tion. This extreme care was not exer- cised, because the majority of buyers looked only at the price and would not pay the extra cost of keeping stock pure and true. Impure Stock of Alaska Peas. The fluctuation in supply and demand occasionally made seedsmen and some- times growers eager purchasers and, be- fore anyone was really aware of it, these inferior stocks, which gained a foothold during the low prices and the reign of indifference, permeated nearly all the stocks in the country. For the last five or ten years it has been pretty nearly impossible to find any Alaska stocks that were right, and this unfor- tunate condition of things is clearly traceable to the period during which garden peas were sold at field pea prices. Fortunately, the conditions were so very bad as to force a reaction, and a few people have been doing some very care- ful and efficient work in restoring Alas, kas to their original purity. We are likely, therefore, to have much more satisfactory stocks of this important va- riety in the near future. Let us hope that we may be spared the misfortune of such low prices as may result in again demoralizing Alaska stocks. The asking of high prices does not necessarily prove the purity of the stock, but one thing is certain: The long continued prevalence of prices at or below the cost line is cer- tain to result in inferior stocks. Stratagem Peas Also Demoralized. Of all varieties of peas known to the seed trade, there is probably not one that excels, in fine quality and delicious flavor, the old Stratagem, but the Stratagem is a bad sporter and, if neglected even for a single season, it suffers from rapid degeneration. The man who sells Strata- gem peas at anything less than a high price sells them at an actual loss, if he devotes to them the time and skill neces- sary to keep the stock right. The eager- ness to compete in the matter of price has resulted in selling to the general public such inferior stocks of Stratagem as to give the planters the impression that Stratagems are really a poor vari- ety, while they are certainly one of the three or four "top notchers" in the en- tire list of peas. So-called Stratagem peas have been sold at competitive prices which actually do not contain five per cent of true Stratagems. The planter, because he did not like the Stratagem sports, dropped the variety and now many seeds- men do not attempt to handle it at all. There are a few seedsmen, however, who have never handled cheap Stratagems and, when they could not furnish the real thing, would not attempt to furnish any, the result being that these houses have a steadily increasing demand for Strata- W.

The experience in the case of Alaska and Stratagem peas has been duplicated in many other varieties of seeds. Take, for instance, Red Valentine beans. A dozen years or more ago, one of our bean growers made a standing offer of 25 cents a pl?int for every flat-podded plant of Red Valentines which his cus- tomers could find in his fields, but the depression in the garden bean market which followed the large crops of 1896 and 1897 left no margin for growers to use. in keeping their stocks up to stand- ard, and even that fine strain of Red Valentines fell from grace through the hybridization carried on by bees and the grower's offer had to be withdrawn. Fortunately, however, there are quite a few seedsmen who appreciate the dif- ference between stocks that are fair and stocks that are fine and are willing to pay a reasonable difference in favor of fine stocks. This fact has encouraged the grower referred to to renew his ef- forts in producing a pure strain of Red Wholesale Cut Flower Prices. Philadelphia. June 24.

The 84th annual convention will oe held at Ro- chester, June, 1909. Note there are more than two solid pages of European advertisements in this week's Review. John W. Adams, of Springfield, Mass., whose fame as a nurseryman has spread far beyond New England, was 80 years of age June 20. He has spent just fifty years in the nursery business. Peterson Nursery, Chicago, reports the largest call for peonies it ever has experienced.' Orders for quite a num- ber of the best sorts already have taken all the plants they care to sell for September delivery. They say the inquiry indicates that the holders of good varieties do not need to consider reducing prices, no matter what cuts are made in prices of old sorts or untried lots. INSPECTION IN OHIO. Under the Ohio nursery and orchard inspection law every nurseryman or any other person in the state engaged in growing trees, shrubs, plants or vines for sale, must, before July 1, file application for the inspection of such stock with the Ohio department of agriculture. The disposal of uninspected stock, either by sale or gift, renders the owner liable to fine. These inspections are made by the division of nursery and orchard inspec- tion, and free of charge when applica- tions are filed before July 1, with N. E, Shaw, Ohio Department of Agriculture, Columbus. SHRUB JOTTINGS. For naturalizing purposes, Ribes au- reum, the Missouri currant, which is found naturally from Missouri to the Rocky mountains, is well worthy of a place. It will g^row in extremely poor ground, and where soil conditions are of this character it will thrive sur- prisingly well. The light, lustrous green leaves are covered with yellowish dots while young. The yellow flowers, which are quite showy, are produced in clus- ters in early spring, being open this year, in the vicinity of Boston, the first week in May. This shrub does espe- cially well in shade. The brownish- black colored fruit possesses a fair flavor. Philadelphus Lemoinei, a hybrid vari- ety of mock orange, is one of the most showy, floriferous and beautiful shrubs grown. It is specially well adapted for small gardens on account of its moder- ate growth, rarely exceeding four to six feet in height. The pure white flow- ers, carried on short racemes, literally smother the branches.

It does not attain a greater height than five to six feet. The flowers are pure white, and produced in such abundance as to practically hide the foliage from view. We have had little trouble with it winter killing, al- though it suffers a little in severe win- ters, such as we experienced in 1903 and 1904. This is a much better deutzia than D. gracilis and will eventually dis- place it as a forcing variety. It can be readily propagated from soft cuttings in May or early June, in a frame or green- house. It was this year in full bloom May 28, about ten days earlier than usual. WASHINGTON. Business in the District. Business has quieted down. The June weddings and the funeral work are the only things doing now. Last week was the grand finale, with the combined three high school commencements. Every flo- rist had some work in the bunch and bas- ket line. There were about 700 bunches. J. H. Small & Son had the palm decora- tion. This took place in Convention hall, the largest hall in the District. Gude Bros, had the decorations for the Busi- ness High School at the National theater. Various Notes. There was a 'nice turnout at the bowl- ers' outing June 18, at Chesapeake beach. A surprise to the local florists was the funeral notice of John Cammack, who had been in the florists' business all his life, and his father before him. The dedication of the new municipal building takes place July 4. Wm. E. Gude has been appointed chairman on decorations. The local florists are all to help. He called a meeting for that pur- pose for June 23. The next meeting of the Florists ' Club will be held July 6. It will be an old time potting shed meeting on F. H. Kra- mer's place.

(X)LUMBUS,OHIO. State of Trade. Trade has been good for the last two weeks, with commencement orders, some good-sized funeral orders and a good many wedding decorations, which help to keep things going during the latter part of June. The last of tMs month brings us again to the good old summer time, when the shade of the old apple tree will be welcomed by a good many that can get away to enjoy it. The bedding work is about over here now — just a few stragglers coming in for a few plants to fill in, etc. Roses are showing the effects of warm weather and are coming in poor. They are also scarce, as a good many are re- planting now. Carnations are coming in small and of poor quality, outside of En- chantress, which is holding up well. Sweet peas are so plentiful that one can buy them at his own price, and the quality is fine. Varlout Notes. The club held its regular meeting Tues- day evening, and will declare meetings off for July and August. The picnic committee, which consists of Messrs. McKellar, Metzmaier, Hills, Reichert and Bauman, is busy distribut- ing tickets and cards for the picnic, and all look for a large attendance. Albert Knopf, of the Franklin Park Floral Co., leaves about July 1 for Cali- fornia, to be gone two years. He is com- pelled to go on account of ill health, and all wish him a speedy recovery. Mrs. George Bauman had a stroke of apoplexy about three weeks ago and is in a serious condition, but she ia improv- ing somewhat at this writing. The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cutting some good roses and carnations. Its Enchantress are extra fine for the hot weather we are having. E. Meztmaier reports business good, especially in design work. Sherman Stephens reports more bed- ding at Greenlawn than ever before. The Livingston Seed Co. is putting up the rafters on its new house, 50x200, of King construction. William Graff is still in West Baden. J. M. We atlll have a few hundred Brides, Maids, Killarney, Chatenay and Richmond in,8-iD.; froodH that are worth the money. It will pay you to send for sample of these at once. AnytbiDK you need in that line, the small differ- ence of a cent would not deter you from buying if you saw the stock.

We have no great reason to complain of the state of trade in the last two weeks. It has been as brisk as could be expected, with plenty of funeral work and wedding orders to help it along. The demand for roses seems to be greater than that for carnations, and, as the crops on roses seem to be somewhat short, it is diflScult to find enough to supply the demand. While roses are used exten- sively in wedding orders, carnations are more popular with the funeral sprays and designs. Lily of the valley holds its usual popularity with the bridal bouquet and longiflorum helps out with the deco- rations. Weather Conditions. The weather during the last two weeks has been extremely hot and dry, making it almost impossible to work under glass or any place. The crops of all kinds in the fields have been suffering terribly for the want of rain. These conditions held true until Friday afternoon, June 19, when a terrific wind storm blew up, followed by a heavy rain and hail storm. While the hail did not do a great deal of damage, the wind de- stroyed much property. It blew down large trees and telephone poles, carried hotbed sashes in every direction, and was instrumental in the breaking of lots of greenhouse glass. The friiit trees also suffered a great loss of fruit, which was shaken off by the strong wind. This was the worst storm Dayton has witnessed for a great many years. Various Notes. Mrs. Elizabeth Young returned last week from her trip to Des Moines. Mrs. Young reports that she had a fine time. On her return she stopped over in Chi- cago and made a few calls. The Miami Floral Co. has been doing a splendid business on Lilium giganteum the last two weeks. The plant of the Dayton Floral Co. was badly damaged in the storm of last Friday. R. A. B.

The Market Outside of a few orders that June wed- dings generally call for, business has been poor since the first part of this month. Flowers are abundant in all gar- dens. Still, the aster did not turn out so well. The low price of the northern flowers makes them come here in close competition with our home stock. The weather is, so far, quite favorable to our chrysanthemums. Club Meeting. The New Orleans Horticultural Society held its monthly meeting June 18. The exact place in which to hold the flower show is not yet decided upon, but the number of empty stores around Canal street is an assurance that it will be easy to select a perfect location at the right moment. James A. Newsham, having recently returned from Central America, where he had been collecting orchids, gave the society an interesting lecture about his trip. He has been very successful and is satisfied with the quantity and sort he brought back. The annual outing of the society will take place July 8. The day will be spent in Mandeville, on Lake Pontchartrain. Various Notes. No preparations for specimen plants for our next flower show seem to have been made so far by many growers, but no doubt there will be an abundance of well-grown plants and flowers at the proper time, as the planting has been very large. R. Lockerbie left James A. Newsham, having accepted a position in Columbus, Miss. M. M. L. NEV BEDFORD, MASS. The usual summer dullness prevails. There is not much doing in the cut flow- er line. Funeral work is quite plentiful, with plenty of flowers to pick from. Rpses and carnations are getting poorer every day and becoming smaller in size. Sweet peas are now coming in from outdoors. Indoor sweet peas are pretty well played out. The regular price is 50 cents per hundred retail. Napoleon Lemay is .going to make things hum next fall. He will have 5,000 ferns in 5-inch and 6-inch pots. He will not grow any carnations the com- ing winter. He reports good sales of aster plants at 15 cents per dozen, two dozen for 25 cents. W. L. Brattleboro, Vt. — A. H. Harvey has had a highly satisfactory trade recently, having sold over 10,000 aster plants this season. To^Bai(-lne Products THEY KILL HUGO ~ LIQUID FORM ^irtUr' FOB SPBATINO.

OR ITS CHICAGO SALKS DEPARTMSNT LOCATED AT 85 East Lake Street north side are exposed. The south side connects with another house. My idea is to have one 2^4 -inch flow through the center to the east end, with six 2-inch returns across ten feet of the east end and along the north side; another 2-inch flow to the east end, with four 2-inch re- turns on the south side; another 2-inch flow across the west end, with five 2-inch returns. This is the most exposed part. Will a Wilks 24x42 boiler heat this, or would it be better to buy the size larger? The height of the house to the ridge is eleven feet, with side walls four and one-half feet high. There is glass in both ends. I also wish to try ground beds for the two center ones. Any sug- gestions from you will be appreciated. ^ W. C. T. The radiation you have planned to in- stall is very nearly correct for a maxi- mum temperature of 60 degrees during severe weather. The radiation which you have planned exceeds 500 square feet. The boiler mentioned is rated to carry 450 to 600 square feet of radiation. It is likely that the 24x42 boiler will carry this house with safety at the carnation temperature. Should you at some future time desire to convert this house into one requiring a higher temperature and install more radiation, the boiler might not meet the requirements. To anticipate this, I believe I should install the next size, 30x42, which is rated to carry 600 to 700 square feet of radiation. It is not necessary to use the three flow pipes you are planning to install, as one 3-inch pipe will do the work equally well. But in case you discard the two 2- inch risers, add two more returns, in order to provide the required heating surface. Do not neglect to use an ele- vated expansion tank of large capacity, connected directly with the main return near the boiler. I prefer the single flow pipe from the boiler to the far end of the house, carried under the ridge. With this arrangement and an elevated expan- sion tank, the circulation is nearly al- ways good, provided the returns are well graded. L. C. C. 1 " End Boiler Troubles Capitol Boilers have won a standard reputation among florists for tborouRli and renable beatinK. with fuel economy. Says one who uses the Capiiol Boiler: "The coldest night this winter, with the thermometer 4 degrees below zero, we did not show any pressure on the steam gauge, and the greenhouses were an even temperature. In our previous experience with other boilers, the fireman had to be constantly firing, while now our fireman only tends to same in the coldest weather every three or four hours. We feel the saving of fuel with the Capitol Boiler over our previous system will pay for the name in a very few years." Then there is the Divided Section, which makes lor quick repairs without interfering with tlie heating. This is important to every florist. Send for our descriptive catalog, or write or call on any of our Branches or Sales Agencies. Capitol Boiler means good, solid money to the florist. [Mted Slates Heaterfompany.

The Market • Trade has been fairly good the last week, considering the number of rain and hail storms we have had. On Tuesday of last week one of the severest hail storms Colorado has seen in some years passed over the city from the northwest to the southeast, damaging the greenhouses and outside plants in its path. As it was purely local, some parts of the city were not touched, but such establishments as it did catch suffered heavy losses. The Park Floral Co. was the heaviest loser, on account of having more glass, over 22,000 square feet being broken. In addition to this, about 16,000 carnation plants on the outside were all shot to pieces, as well as all other outside stuff. This firm estimates its loss at about $6,000. Charles Benson was also quite a loser for the size of his place, having over 2,000 panes of glass broken. Other and lighter losses were at F. C. Maler's, at the City Park greenhouses and a few other places. Most of these carry hail insurance, but in most cases that will be the smallest part of the loss. Koses, considering the weather, have 64 The Weekly Florists' Review^ Jung 25, 1008. been good, but there was not so much call for them, on account, probably, of the call for other kinds of flowers. Car- nations still remain pretty fair and the quantity is abundant, but the demand for them has suffered from the stock of peo- nies and other outdoor flowers that are coming in. Sweet peas are scarce and will be so for a while, as the hail cut up nearly all the early ones. Various Notes. N. A. Benson is fishing on the Gunni- son river and having good luck, judging by the size of the fish he is sending to his friends. The Scott Floral Co. is now in its new store, on Broadway. E. S. K. MINNEAPOLIS. The Market. An Econom- ical Boilir The continued wet weather put a damp- er on business last week, and, except fo"? rBBuSr the June weddings, there would not have \ been much doing in the florists' line. Peonies are at present a drug on the mar- ket, though there is good demand for the white and lighter pink shades. There is a marked scarcity of white roses all over. There is an abundance of Maids, Chatenay and Moulton, and a fairly good supply of Richmond and Liberty. A good crop of Kaiserin is visible every- where. Various Notes. A hail storm the morning of June 22, in the southeastern part of the city, ac- companied by a good deal of wind, caused some apprehension, but did no damage. All the parks and lawns are planted, and the city presents a dressed-up appear- ance. Central park holds some artistic beds and fine decorative plants. N James Souden has taken over the stort for himself, and hereafter it will be rui under his name, without the "Co." The florists take to fishing when the slack season arrives. John Monson and William Gray made a good catch over Sunday at a lake ten miles from town. Oscar Carlson and a party of friends caught 500 brook trout on a fishing trip last week. The meeting of the State Horticultural Society was held June 23, at the State Experimental Station, and a peony show was held in the morning. George Panus has closed up- his de- partment in the Minneapolis Dry Goods, and intends looking up a new location in the early fall. M. E. M. S. WILKS MFG. CO.

No doubt the 365 marriage licenses is- sued by the clerk of Milwaukee county June 1 to 20 had their effects on the flow- er trade, for we can again report that business last week was good. It is also noticeable that, as June is the month of roses, they are more called for than most other stock, especially the lighter shades. This can also be said of peonies, which came in heavily the last part of the week, selling from 2 cents to 5 cents. The first part of the week found roses a scarce article, Avhile carnations were plentiful all the time. Yet some extra good stock of the last named realized $3 per hundred. Prices are low all around, but with plenty of business no one ought to kick. Since last Tuesday we have had genu- ine summer weather, and this has made most of the stock soft. Lily of the valley still seems popular and moves briskly. Variout Notes. Gust Pohl is cutting some fine 8\\eet peas these days, which sell readily. William Dilger, who is sending in some extra good iris, finds them a good invest- ment. Oust Eusch, of the Holton & Hunkel Co., says that the grower with plenty of good red carnations this week will real- ize good returns on them, as they will be quite in demand for the local com- mencement exercises. The C. C. Pollworth Co. is right in it with giganteum lilies forced from cold storage bulbs. This firm now has three of its new houses glazed. Joe Pollworth left June 20, in his auto, for a trip to Oshkosh and vicinity. It is a fileasure and business trip com- bined. Otto Sylvester, of Oconomowoc, Wis., was a visitor. He does considerable bed- ding work, and reports being well satis- fied with business thus far. There is not much loft around Milwau- kee in bedding stock.

You no doubt hear a lot of talk about the all-cypress greenhouse and have heard that it is out of date and strictly N. G. for the wide- awake florist. When you come to look the thing over you will find that there is nothing back of this talk and that the all-cypress house is THE hou»e for the commercial florist. You can get more bench room, more growing space, the same amount of light and just as good plants, and make more money with the all-cypress house than you can make with any other construction on the market to- day. Of course it is advisable to use iron gutters if you are situated in a cold cli- mate where you have heavy snows, but outside of this the cypress house has them all beat. The difference in the life of the cypress house and the iron frame is not worth mentioning, but we will leave this until another time. The Poehlmann plant is built on the cypress plan and it is the largest and tiuest commercial plant In the United States. You all know of the qual- ity of their stock.

C 34 Bedfordshire Seev^ SEASONABLE CULTURE. Feeding the Plants. My attention having been called last week to two cases where feeding had al- ready been resorted to, and with disas- trous results, leads me to pen these lines. The chrysanthemum is spoken of as a gross feeder; that is, a plant that will use an almost unlimited amount of plant food and be benefited thereby. This is true at certain seasons, but it is a poor policy to work on all the time. When the plants are set out in the beds, there should be food enough to keep them go- ing in good shape for ten to twelve weeks. Thus, plants set out, say, about the middle of May should not need any stimulant before the middle of July. It is a cardinal principle in plant- growing of any kind that the plant must be well rooted in either pot or bench before it is in a condition to as- similate plant food supplied in the form of a liquid, yet growers who should know better will give plants liq- uid shortly after potting, with the re- sult that the soil sours, the roots will not work in it and the last stage of that plant is far worse than the first. A light mulch of well-rotted manure will do no barm to the plants at any time, providing it is well rotted and not half green, but avoid the use of soda or any other chemical till you know that the plant is ready for it. ^ We will take up the feeding at the proper time, but to those who propose to feed their plants so early in the game as this my advice is, ' ' Don 't I " Buds. Much early planted stock is produc- ing buds and it is, of course, useless to take these buds, as they are too early to develop. Nature takes care of the sit- uation by sending out several shoots round the bud, which will continue the growth of the plant. It will be neces- sary to reduce these shoots to such a number of stems, one or more, as is proposed to be carried on to com- pletion, but it is not a wise plan to do it before the shoots are several inches long, as it is not possible to determine that the shoot is not blind until it has made several leaves. I always remove the shoot immediately below the bud, because often it makes a few leaves and then produces another bud instead of growing right along. Some kinds give little trouble when they produce buds, while others have to be coaxed consider- ably to keep them in the straight and narrow way. Pompons and Singles. Though almost everyone is now fa- miliar with the pompons, few people know much about the culture of the single varieties, judging by the num- ber of inquiries being made right along. Singles that are being grown contin- uously in pots, or that are planted in the garden with the idea of being lifted and potted, should be kept pinched in closely till ihe second or third week in July; then, if they have been pinched properly, they make beautiful, compact bushes, a perfect mass of flowers. As to whether plants do better in pots than planted out in the garden, I prefer to grow them in pots if I can keep the pots indoors. If they have to go out- side, I would rather plant directly into the ground and lift early in September, because most seasons the heavy thun- derstorms get the plants waterlogged and leaf spot sets in and disfigures the plant. Singles taken from the sand now and potted along as needed into 6-inch pots make beautiful and profitable stock with a minimum of labor, no pinching or tying being necessary. Both singles and pompons planted in the bench any time for the next two weeks will also well repay the time and trouble. While they do not make so long a stem as earlier stock, they are plenty long enough to use for cutting as sprays, and as the amount of labor ex- pended on them outside of watering is almost nil, they can be sold cheap and still realize a good profit, as no disbud- ding is necessary. Charles H. Totty. IVORY TO TWO STEMS. Will Ivory mums planted in benches out of 2-inch pots during June, and pinched back about July 8, produce two good blooms per plant in good soil and well-ventilated houses? J. M. J. Plants so tteated will produce fair flowers, but not by any means top-notch- ers. The tendency too often is to ex- pect too much from the chrysanthemum in a given time. If the plants were fairly large when set out in June, many o/ them should make a natural break early in July and two shoots could then be taken up, if necessary, and pinching would not be required. If the plants had been tipped while still in the pots they would now have the shoots growing nicely and time would have been saved. Ivory is 'a dwarf grower and, if pinched late, the stem is short; otherwise, as stated above, the flowers will be fair if plants are helped along with some feed. C. H. Totty. SEASONABLE CULTURE. During the growing season, and until the young roots begin to approach the surface, cultivating should be closely at- tended to. Where the soil is light and friable this can be performed with the hand, but with soil of a stiff, clayey na- ture a small hand hoe is necessary. In using any kind of an instrument due care must be exercised so as not to go too near the neck of the plant, or deep enough to in any way injure the roots, one inch being deep enough if cultivat- ing is practiced aa it should be, once a week. During hot weather, when young stock has to be watei'ed frequently and largo quantities used, the soil will require fre- quent stirring to break up the surface and keep it in good condition. In clayey soils, which are deficient in fiber, the crust will form after every watering and it should be broken up as soon as possi- ble. When the feeding roots approach the surface it is time to stop cultivating and apply a light mulch. A little study and care in the prepara- tion of the mulching materials will save a great deal of hard and unnecessary labor at the time we want to use it. By having it in proper condition, we may The Weekly Florists^ Review. .Tui-Y 2, 1908. expect better results than if we are forced to use the crude and raw material in a hastily prepared state. There is also^ little doubt but that carelessness prac-' ticed in tbe collecting and preparing of mulching material is a fruitful source of supplying the insect pests which trouble us during the winter. BiBES. SWEET PEAS DYING. I would like to ask a question or two about sweet peas. I have always had good luck with my sweet peas and never had any trouble of this kind before. After they were hoed and the earth drawn up around the plants, in places all along the rows they started to dry up and die. I would like to know what the trouble is and how it may be stopped. F. H. B. If sweet peas are sown two inches deep in early spring, they should never have any earth pulled up to them when grow- ing. We consider this practice, though it is recommended in many seed cata- logues, a most harmful one, which does more than anything else to discour- age sweet pea culture. The drying of the stems we have always believed to be largely a result of this earthing up, and we would advise you to discontinue it. However, this may not be the cause of your vines drying up. The attacks of the larvae of the May beetle, coming in cow manure, are sometimes responsi- ble ; so, ulso, is growing the plants in the same soil year after year. Another season we would suggest sow- ing the seeds two inches deep, not hill- ing up. Mulch before hot weather bakes the ground too much, and if grubs or wireworms abound, plow the land; then give it a dressing of kainite or gas lime late in the fall, harrowing the ground over afterward. Ordinary air-slaked lime will answer if you have no kainite or gas lime. C. W. RAWSON'S SWEET PEA TRIALS. During July W. W. Rawson & Co., Bos- ton, will have many visitors at their trial grounds at Marblehead, where a series of public exhibitions are being held this summer. Sweet peas are, of course, the great attraction during this month and Manager Maurice Fuld says they "are trying to interest the florists in the east to see these trials here. Many of them have not seen a great many of the sweet peas, and the Marblehead collection this year is even more complete than that of the California growers, as it includes a number of novelties such as have never before been shown either in England or America. ' ' There are 160 varieties under name and each visitor is given a printed score card on which to record his impressions as a guide to future orders.

We have as our customers the elite and the select of the social world. Why should not our business be the standard of perfection, when we control such an important luxury of the wealthy? Why not work at the root to try to improve our branches? The method of the ex- ecutive head is responsible for the action of the assistants. Let us have a word or two from the clerks, the foreman and the manager, and perhaps we will be able to help place in a healthy state some of us who are slightly awry. You know that one diseased plant on the bench is apt to extend its affliction. Why not try, in this approaching quiet season, to improve and make healthy those who are, let us say, not quite so fortunate as the majority? By so doing we will improve our own conditions. Let us hear from you. F. C. W. B. A RETAILER'S SUGGESTION. Reading on the subject of gluts and how to dispose of them, I would like to have you publish my version, which is as follows: Advertise carnations that cost ap- proximately $1 per XOO for 50 cents per dozen, special, and with this special price make an offer to send one dozen carnations free to any address the cus- tomer may give, other than his or her own. One could grade over the stock and have a little better stock for the ones who put up the cash, and dispose of the surplus free of charge. In this way he would be doubling his money, less the cost of delivery and boxes. Now, there are two points which one must consider. You are a creator of business. The party receiving the flowers will undoubtedly enjoy them and will in return want to make a present to the donor. There may be times when the flowers will be sent to some one who could not afford to pur- chase flowers, but the appreciation that The Weekly Florists^ Review* Jdly 2, 1008. they will show when they see the donor will make such a strong impression that it will be sure to cause this giyer to send flowers oftener. This serves as a means to keep the price up to a normal one and, being a special offer and the purchaser only receiving a dozen carnations for 50 cents, or whatever the price may be, he naturally would not hem and haw at the medium price, and I truly be- lieve that if every brother florist would work hand and hand with the above system, it would be more profitable than lowering a price and only disposing of the choice blooms, while the greater amount of the stock left on hand goes to waste. Alpha Elberfield. CYCLAMEN. I have some exceptionally nice cycla- men now in 4-inch pots. The seed was sown in October. Now for the trouble: They have begun to blossom, which I do not want them to do before December. They have plenty of root room. What ean I do for them? W. C. T. Your experience is by no means ah unusual one. Frequently some of the seedlings will start to throw flower buds in June or July. Pick these out when suflSciently large to handle, and the fact that a few flowers have appeared thus early will not seriously affect their bloom- ing qualities in late fall. Keep your plants either in an airy house, well up to the light, but shaded from strong sunlight, or, better still, in a coldframe where they can have a continuous passage of air at both the tops and bottoms of the sashes. Remove the sashes altogether on cloudy days and at night, unless rain threatens. A light shower will prove beneficial, but drenching downpours must be guarded against. Keep your plants in th€ frames until October, then move them into one of the houses. C. W. DISEASED DELPHINIUMS. Can you tell me what to do for my delphiniuinsf The leaves are covered with black sgiDtS'. The disease spreads pretty fast. I have been thinking of cutting them off to the ground and burn- ing the tops. What is your advice? V. C. We have frequently seen delphinium foliage attacked by a fungoid growth, such as you are being troubled with. Usually it affects the choice named va- rieties or those propagated from cut- tings or root divisions more than seed- lings, which latter appear to possess somewhat greater vigor. Even these, however, fall a prey to the disease. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture every week or ten days, from the time the shoots appear above ground until spikes are well developed, will to a large de- gree reduce the ravages of the fungus, but even this will not entirely prevent it. We would recommend change of soil at least once in two years, and it will cer- tainly be wise policy to cut down and burn the affected shoots. You may not have the disease again for a number of years. It seems to require particular weather conditions to bring it into exist- ence and spread it. C. W. CALLAS. How can callas be carried over, that are in solid beds, and used for cutting? Have been used one season. J. H. C. Callas should be lifted now. Store them quite thickly in boxes of earth and stand outdoors. Water sparingly for a short time. When foliage has died down, take out and store the tubers in dry sand until wanted. C. W. PLANTS BROKEN BY HAIL. Will carnation plants which are badly cut up by hail be of any use for next winter? Many of the plants have fine stems left on them. Is there any danger of stem-rot on such stock? L. A. G. It depends altogether on how badly your carnation plants are broken up by the hail, as to whether they will be fit to use for next winter or not. I would clean away all shoots and leaves that are broken off and let the plants stand. If they are well established and not broken too badly they will likely start anew from eyes which were dormant, and by hous- ing time there may be an abundance of new shoots started which will make very fair plants. As to stem-rot attacking these plants, I would say that I would not fear that very much. Hail storms are usually fol- lowed by cool weather, which is unfavor- able to that fungus, and by the time the weather gets hot again these cuts and bruises will all be healed up. However, if you see any signs of it, or fear it may attack thorn, I would advise you to spray the plants with Bordeaux mixture. Get a gallon can from your supply man and apply as directed on the ean. With an automatic sprinkler you can go over a good sized batch of plants in an hour or two and it may save you manv dollars. A. F. J. B. CUTWORMS ON CARNATIONS. We arc sending you, under separate cover, an Enchantress carnation with a slug of some sort on it, just as it was picked from the carnation house. Will you please inform us how to dispose of this pest? Several buds were found which had been tunneled, evidently by this worm. D. S. M. The specimen you sent was one of the common cutworm variety, which has been quite troublesome to carnation growers throughout the country this season. The quickest way to get rid of them, if they are numerous, is to poison them with a bait made of bran, molasses and Paris green. Take a small quantity of coarse wheat bran and mix with it enough New Orleans molasses to make it moist. Then add enough Paris green to make it dead- ly poison. Drop a little of this here and there, where you know the cutworms are. They are fond of this mixture and will devour it in preference to the carnations, and if the Paris green is of good quality it will soon end your cutworm troubles. There is, however, on the market a lot of adulterated Paris green, which is no more effective than dust gathered up in the street. We ran across a box of that kind this spring and know from experi- ence that this is a fact. A pure insecti- cide law is sadly needed, though of course it should be worded so that it would not work harm to honest goods through misunderstanding. A. F. J. B. THE SEMI-SOLID BED. In a recent issue of the Review Mr. Baur recommends semi-solid beds for car- nations. Now, would he state how long he has been using that kind and how long a filling of soil lasts? L. G. G. I notice that you have referred in the Review to semi-solid beds. Please in- form me as to the best way of heating. H. G. As these two inquiries both relate to the same subject, I will answer both in one. We installed our first bed with cin- der drainage in the summer of 1901. This was a 5-foot bed, 180 feet long. Across the walk was a raised bench of the same size and against each side of the 25-foot house was a S^^-foot bench. The semi-solid bed was planted to White Cloud and Elma, a light pink variety, July 2, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* ■■jV''^rr'^WP''V'^y^'f^' while the raised bench was planted to White Cloud, E. Crocker and The Mar- quis. During the whole season the White Cloud on the lower bed were as good as, or better than, those on the raised bench. The Elma were better than we had them the year before, when they were on a raised bench. The next season we added several more beds of this kind and planted with other varieties, such as Lawson, Indian- apolis, Mrs. Joost, Flora Hill, G. H. Crane, etc., and in every instance was the stock as good as, or better than, the same varieties had been on raised benches. So we installed this style of bed as rapidly as the raised benches gave out and needed replacing, and in all our new houses we have installed this style of bed. Last year we experimented some with tile, to see whether they would make any improvement over our original style of construction. We buried three rows of 4-inch tile in the cinders, lengthwise of the bed, with the top of the tile even with the surface of the cinders. About every twenty-five feet we put in a cross tile, to connect the three rows with the outside. I am sure these tile did not make an iota of difference in the crop, either in quality or in quantity, and we noted the results carefully. Now, it may be argued that these cross tiles were not numerous enough, but in answer to that I will say that the plants growing over or near the cross tiles and those near the ends of the beds showed not the least improvement over those farther away, nor over those in the other beds. If there were any- thing in this tile theory, the plants grow- ing on or near the tile ought to show it, at least in a degree. If there had been even a slight difference in the plant growth, I would be willing to concede the point. And also, if the difference would amount to 5 per cent in favor of the tile bottom, I would hasten to put tile bottoms into every bed on the place. In short, as I have said before, we are convinced that we are making money by using our present style of beds. Now as to the arrangement of the heating pipes. First let me say that you seldom find two growers who, when they build, will arrange the heating pipes just alike, even under the same condi- tions, unless the one is copying from the other. The idea is to get your pipes placed so that the distribution of the heat may be even all over the house, and also so that the circulation, and the drainage of the pipes of condensation, may be perfect. We run all our pipes in pairs, each pair making a circuit. One pipe is run overhead, being sup- ported by the purlin posts, while the re- turn pipe runs alongside of the north side of the bed and near the ground. This pipe is fastened to the posts hold- ing the side of the bed. Each 30-foot house has four of these circuits and any one or all of them can be shut off by valves properly placed. This plan may be modified by any one who may prefer less overhead! heat, by using one over- head pipe for two return pipes or by feeding entirely from the far end, from one pipe, etc. Baise the lower pipe far enough from the ground so that, in working, the foot may slip under the pipe without com- ing in contact with the pipe. If placed 80, they will be very little in the way. Do not be afraid of red spider along that side. We find not the least difficulty in keeping them away. We use the soil only one season and An Abnormal Digitalis. refill every summer, just the same as with raised benches. We use only four inches of soil, so why should it last any longer than it would on a raised bench f I do think, however, that four inches of soil on this style of bed will last as long as five inches will last on a raised bench, because none of the plant food is washed away through watering. A. F. J. B. AN ABNORMAL FOXGLOVE. I am sending herewith a photograph of a plant growing on my place. It is a Digitalis gloxiniseflora. The photo- graph shows two spikes, which to me are unusual in this plant. Normally, the flower stalks are single, round stems, studded with the bells, but in this in- stance the stalk is flat, fully two and one-half inches wide, and, as can be seen, carries an abnormal number of flowers. The stalk to the left of the picture has the same characteristics as the other stalk, but is not quite so wide. Only the edge of it is shown. There are two normal stalks on the same plant, which do not appear in the illustration. This plant has attracted a great deal of interest, but whether it has any spe- cial value, I do not know. It has a wonderful head of flowers, which the photograph does not show to advantage, as the picture was made for the special purpose of displaying the width of stem, but enough is shown to indicate the char- acter of the plant.

We are forwarding to you today by mail samples of begonias, for which we would like to have you give us the cor- rect names, if possible. We have received' plants of Begonia Cuprea from a well- known Ohio firm, and plants of B. Haa- geana from Henry A. Dreer, and find that they are identical and would like to know which one of the two names is the correct one. W. B. 1. Eicinifolia. 2. Probably a seedling from a small^ spotted-leaved variety. 3. Schmidtiana. Wisetonensis alba. Zebrina. Diadema. Argento -guttata. Albo picta. Probably a seedling from argenteo- guttata. 10. A miniature form of nitida alba. I think B. Haageana is the other be- gonia you speak of having received from two sources. The firm sending it under this name is a reliable one. W. N. Ceaiq. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* Jdlt 2, 1008. WOOD PRESERVATION. Retarding Decay by Seasoning. The simplest way of prolonging the life of timber exposed to the attack of wood-destroying fungi is to reduce the moisture content of the wood. The amount of water in green timber varies according to the part of the tree from which the wood is cut. The outer layers of the trunk are composed of sapwood, the cells of which contain large amounts of organic substances which serve ex- cellently as food for the fungi. More- over, sapwood always contains a large amount of water. It is the portion of the tree, therefore, most susceptible to attacks from fungi. Heartwood, which can usually be distinguished from sap- wood by its darker or more reddish color, contains, on the other hand, much less moisture. It is therefore more durable than sapwood. But because its pores are stopped up by gums and resins, it dries out much less rapidly than the more porous sapwood. In almost every case as much care should be taken thoroughly to dry out the heartwood as in the case of the raoister sapwood. By piling the timbei so as to permit free access of air all around it, the moist- ure content of timbers of certain sizes can be reduced to about fifteen or eight- een per cent. Of course the climate has a great influence on the rate at which the wood dries out and the total amount of moisture it loses. The moisture content of air- dry wood can be still further reduced by kiln-dry- ing; and this is employed to a consider- able extent, but usually for other pur- poses than increasing the durability of the wood. Moreover, either air-dry or kiln-dry wood has the power to reabsorb moisture when exposed to the atmosphere in damp situations, and so the benefits of drying, as far as durability is concerned, are only moderate. Yet the increased life which it gives is, in nearly all cases, more than su£5cient to repay the added cost of seasoning. The strength of partially seasoned timber, other things being equal, in- creases as the amount of moisture it contains decreases. Thoroughly seasoned timber of small sizes is sometimes three or even four times as strong as the same timber when green. Moreover, during the process of drying out, important but little understood changes take place in the organic contents of the wood cells, by which the wood is not only rendered less attractive to fungi, but is made more permeable and so better prepared for preservative treatment. All timber should be thoroughly seasoned before being exposed to decay. An exterior coating secured by dipping a post in a thin solution of cement or other material that will harden on the post is not an effective protection, be- cause in shrinking or swelling the wood forms cracks through which decay enters. Retarding Decay With Chemicals. By far the best method of checking the growth of fungi, however, is to deprive them of food. This can be done by in- jecting poisonous substances into the timber, and so changing the organic mat- ter from foods suitable for fungi into powerful fungicides. It is a mistake to suppose that the germs of decay are in- herent in the wood, and only need an opportunity for development to bring about its destruction. Several processes for the preservation of wood have been founded on the false assumption that it is necessary to destroy the "germs" in the interior of the timber. The impres- sion doubtless arose from the fact that, after a stick of timber begins to rot, it is impossible to tell just where the fun- gus spores germinated and gained en- trance into the timber. Moreover, the fact that the interior of the wood may have reached an advanced stage of decay before there are any external evidences of the fungi — such as fruiting bodies, or films of mycelium — tends to convince the casual observer that decay starts from the interior. Yet the wood-destroying agencies start from the outside. This explains the eflScacy of certain paints which merely form a superficial coating over the surface of the timber, but which are poisonous enough to prevent the spores from germinating, or the hyphsB of most forms of wood-destroying fungi from penetrating into the unprotected wood in the interior. The ancients were in the habit of painting their statues with oily and bituminous preparations to preserve them from decay. The great wooden statue of Diana at Ephcsus, which was supposed to have descended miraculously from heaven, was protected from earthly decay by oil of nard. Pet- tigrew extracted the preservative fluids from the heart of an Egyptian mummy that had resisted decay for over 3,000 years, and found that decomposition im- mediately set in. This showed that it was the presence of the antiseptics which prevented decay, and not a chemical change of the tissues. NAGEL'S HOUSE, The accompanying illustration is re- produced from a photograph made in one of the houses of E. Nagel & Son, Min- neapolis. Their glass is all devoted to the production of stock for their retail store, so of course a great variety of stock is being grown. Nagel & Son say they have had an excellent season. Busi- ness has been perhaps not so good as it would have been with a little more favor- able general conditions, but all the stock produced has been sold and the average results have been satisfactory. Present indications are for a good season next fall and winter, for the northwest is looking forward to big crops this year and much of the farmers' money gravi- tates to the Twin Cities. A TEMPLE SHOW GROUP. A feature of the annual exhibition at London, known as the Temple show, is the numerous large groups of plants, such as are seldom seen at American exhibitions. One of these groups is shown in the accompanying illustration. It is Metrosideros floribunda, the bottle brush tree, or flaming bush of Australia, which is seen in small numbers as a Christmas plant in the principal cities of the United States. The Temple show is an event of May.

Asters should receive good attention from now on. The earliest batches should be giving a few flowers by this time, not of as fine quality as will be seen six weeks hence, but now, when roses and carnations are daily deteriorating in qual- ity, they will prove valuable, especially in funeral work. Keep the cultivator constantly at work among the little plants and even during dry weather it is sur- prising how fast they will grow. With the passing of cutworms, which are more or less destructive each season in many places among asters, they have no immediate enemies to fight. On the first symptoms of aphis at the root apply a nicotine solution, or whale oil soap, at the rate of one pound to eight gal- lons of water. The last sowings should now be gotten in without delay and advantage taken of showery days to transplant earlier batches. Summer Lilies. The lilies which have been grown es- pecially for summer blooming will soon start to open their flowers. Stake up the shoots, if you have not already done so, particularly in the case of L. aura- tum, the large flowers of which will soon weigh it down. A light bench, abundant water supplies and shade from the sun's rays should be afforded. During the hot monthfs, when choice white flowers are by no means abundant^ L. speciosum album is invaluable. The varieties roseum and rubrum can also often be used in design work. The pow- erful odor emitted by L. auratum is rath- er objectionable. It is better used as a piazza rather than as a house plant. Keep the yellow stamens picked out of the flowers. It is a pity to do this, but to keep the petals clean it is a neces- sity. By holding some of the plants back in a cold house, a longer succes- sion of bloom will be afforded. Speaking of summer lilies also reminds us of the fact that retarded bulbs must be started toward the end of July if wanted for winter blooming. The small sizes of speciosum can go in 5-inch pots, larger ones in 6-inch. Some growers plant in boxes six inches deep, with ex- cellent results. The white speciosum will be found the most useful winter variety. After potting or boxing, place in a cool pit or under sashes, which are covered with shutters to exclude the sun- light and prevent the soil drying out. Leave the sashes tilted both top and bottom, to admit air. Rambler Roses.

TESTIMONIAL TO J. S. WILSON. On AVednesday evening, .Tune 24, the employees of Vaughan's (ireenhouses, Western Springs, 111., had a great sur ])rise in store for dames S. Wilson. The surjn-ise was the presentation of a silver service of six handsome pieces, each piece monogrammed, as a farewell gift to Mr. Wilson, who had resigned the management of the establishment, to take effect July T, to manage his own greenhouses at Dos Moines, la. Accompanying the gift was a most ap- propriate card, giving the following sentiment : "We bestow upon yon this small gift as a token of our apprc^ciation for the many kindnesses shown us, and all jcdii in ■wishing you the greatest success in your new undertaking." The card bore the signature of sixty eight employees, many of whom had been with ]Mr. Wilson for many years. After the iiresentatiou and when Mr. Wilson had "come to'' he went out into the greenhouses, where the Imys had all gathered, eager to see the ef feet of their good will, and amid great cheers made a tine speech, which was loudly applauded. The liappiiu'ss of giving and reci-iv iug was suiely mu iual. It has lieeu stated lliaf Albert T. lley, of S])ringfieh Wilson's successor. 111., will be Mr. A VALUABLE HYBRID PEONY.

I desire some information in regard to sterilizing soil for indoor use. I have a bin, 5x14x40, for compost and intend to inject steam through six runs of 4-inch tile to heat it. Kindly advise if the plan is right. What temperature should it reach before letting cool? Any suggestion -will be gladly received. Can we use about half sod compost and half soil out of bench? J. H. C. While I have never tried drain tiles for sterilization purposes, I see no reason why they should not answer perfectly well. Perforated iron pipes are most generally used, these being made up into frames ten to twelve feet long and eight to ten feet wide. The Sargent sterilizer is also much used. It consists of an iron frame four or five by eight or ten feet, provided with perforated teeth a foot apart and ten to twelve inches long, these teeth being thrust into the soil and steam turned on. The first method requires a low pressure of steam, fifteen to twenty pounds, and a large volume, the latter a high pressure and smaller volume. The soil should have a tempera- ture of 185 degrees. You can use half sod and half bench soil, but the former is to be preferred. C. W. OBITUARY. George T. Sambrook. George T. Sambrook died at his home in Watervliet, N. Y., June 21, after an illness of about six months. Mr. Sam- brook was born in England 70 years ago, but came to this country when a young man, and had resided in Watervliet for fifty years. For forty years of this time he had been in the florists' business. He was a veteran of the Civil War, hav- ing served in the Ninety-third New York Volunteers, and was seriously wounded at the Battle of the Wilderness. Three sons and a daughter survive. William B. Leeds. William B. Leeds, the American financier and former Rock Island rail- road magnate, who died in Paris June 23, deserves a place in the mortuary record of the Keview from the fact that he was once a florist at Richmond, Ind., his native place. He was born in 1861 and was in the florists' business in Rich- mond for some five years, under the name of Leeds & Co., of the Cascade Rose Nursery, purchased from A. K. Williams and founded by E. Y. Teas. He was much interested in plants and flowers and had worked up a fine cata- logue trade; E. G. Hill was foreman for him until 1880. Mr. Leeds was a mere lad when he took up the florists' busi- ness, a young man of charming person- ality, but not at that time foreshadow- ing his later success except in the won- derful enthusiasm which he put into the work at hand. He finally went into bankruptcy in 1883 and soon after took up railroading under General Superin- tendent J. F. Miller, on the Richmond Division of the Pennsylvania railroad, and rose to be one of the country's lead- ing railroad magnates and financiers, be- ing estimated to be worth $35,000,000 at the time of his death. Robert Boeck. After waiting anxiously all night for the return of Robert Boeck, 62 years of age, Hyde Park, Cincinnati, Mrs. Boeck made a search June 26 and found her husband's body in a cistern under the floor of a greenhouse. Death is,, believed to have been accidental: Mr. Boeck dis- appeared early the previous evening. His wife believed he had gone on an er- rand and did not worry over his absence until late in the night, when she became alarmed at his failure to return. It is believed that the boards covering the cistern mouth gave way under him as he walked over them. As the cistern is not more than five feet deep and five feet in diameter, it is thought that in falling he struck his head, causing un- consciousness, and that he drowned while in that condition. About a year ago Mr. Boeck was severely injured in a run- away accident. He became entangled in a rope with which he was leading a horse and the animal dragged him sev- eral hundred feet. Mrs. George Williams. The sympathy of a large circle of friends goes out to George Williams, of the Taunton Greenhouses, Taunton, Mass., in the loss of his wife, which oc- curred June 23, the interment being June 26. Mrs. Rhinehart. The death is reported of Mrs. Rhine- hart, mother of Mrs. Sarah I, Smith, of Secane, Pa., who is well known as a grower for the Philadelphia market, where much sympathy for her is ex- pressed. John Wilkinson. At the age of 80 years, John Wilkin- son died of erysipelas, June 18, at his home in Mittineague, a suburb of Spring- field, Mass., after a sickness of four weeks. This was the first time he had been confined to his bed for over twenty years. He was born in England, where he learned his trade of nurseryman and florist. At the age of 25 he came to America and entered the employ of Ho- mer Fort, who had a private greenhouse at the south end of Springfield. After a few years he built a range of greenhouses near his former employer's place. Soon afterward he started a store on State street, now owned by N. F. Hig- gins, the florist. After five years at this stand he opened a store at 331 Main street, but, not finding this latter stand profitable, he removed to Agawam and engaged in the violet business. Later he erected a range of greenhouses on Plain- field street and seven years ago he re- moved to Mittineague, taking the green- houses of H. Wilson Smith. These he con- ducted, with the aid of his son, until his death. Although troubled with rheumatism, he was always able to keep at his work, which he seemed to love. As a close neighbor remarked, he hardly took time to eat, but hurried back to his work as though he enjoyed his flowers more than his meals. He was always pleasant and kind to everyone. A peculiar incident in relation to his death was that three days later H. Wil- son Smith, who formerly carried on the same greenhouses, died of consumption at his home, adjoining that of Mr. Wil- kinson. The funeral was held Sunday, June 21, from his residence, with interment in Oak Grove cemetery. There were many floral tokens of sympathy from his busi- ness friends and neighbors. He is survived by his son, William, who will continue the greenhouse busi- ness. Marcus Ellis. Marcus Ellis, the senior proprietor of the Ellis Bros. Co. 's greenhouses, at Keene, N. H., died at his home Saturday afternoon, June 13, of a heart trouble, at the age of 62 years. Mr. Ellis was a son of Enoch and Marcia Ellis, of Royalton, Vt., and was born in that town September 1, 1845. He was educated in the public schools and at Royalton Academy, and when 19 years of age removed to Keene, where he afterward lived. He entered the iron foundry of his half brother, the late Moses Ellis, of Keene, where he learned the trade, and went into partnership with his brother, remaining there until 1880, when he left that business to take charge of the greenhouses which he had estab- lished with his brother, Albert, in 1874, the firm being Ellis Bros., florists and seedsmen. Albert Ellis went to Wichita, Kan., a number of years ago, but Mar- cus continued the business under the same firm name. Four years ago Mr. Ellis suffered a shock of paralysis, which left him in a much enfeebled condition, and later he took into partnership Frank Chapman, and formed the Ellis Bros. Co., which still continues. January 1, 1874, he married Miss Kate C. Goodnow, who survives him. Besides his widow, Mr. Ellis leaves four children, Carleton, of New York city; Gertrude C, who has taught school in Shelbume Falls, Mass.; Ruth E. and Theodore G., of Keene. He is also survived by two brothers, George, of Royalton, Vt., and Albert, of Wichita, Kan. David Gindra. David Gindra died at his home on Delafield street, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 20. He was the oldest florist in that vicinity. John W. Minott. John W. Minott passed away at his home on Summer street, Portland, Me., June 23, after an illness of nearly ten weeks. Mr. Minott was born June 26, 1834, a native of the We^t Indies, and followed the sea the greater part of his life until he settled in Portland and started the florists' business thirty-two years ago. He was always one of the leading citizens of his city and a host of friends will be grieved to learn of his death. Mr. Minott leaves a widow, Eliza D., and two adopted children, Frank L. Minott, of Portland, and a daughter, Mrs. H. I. Cobb, of Nashville, Tenn. BOSTON. The Market Conditions showed some improvement last week, there being a good call for graduation and other exercises as well as weddings. A quieter market now rules and midsummer dullness, with few ripples to break it, is probable for some time. White roses have been in good dematid and appreciated in value as a consequence. Kaiserin is the dominant variety. Some fair Liberty is seen, but Richmond is poor. Killarney keeps its position as the leading pink rose. There is still a good supply of carnations, but the quality leaves much to be desired. Sweet peas from outdoors are now abun- dant and sell as well as anything on the list. Valley moves more slowly. It has had a good call for several weeks. Lilies are not abundant, but are ample for all calls. A few speciosum have made their appearance. Asters are not July 2, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ \3 yet plentiful and have quite short sterna. Gladioli are scarce, but there are plenty of cornflowers, stocks and other miscel- laneous flowers, for which demand is Ugfat. Various Notes. The early closing movement will com- mence in many of the flower stores this week and employees will start on their vacations in a number of cases. Edward MacMulkin has had a number of large wedding orders of late and re- ports an excellent June trade. The sports committee is at work secur- ing premiums for the club picnic at Pine Banks park. Maiden, on July 29. A re- duction in the number of athletic events is favored by many. John McFarland, of North Easton, is busy on additions to his greenhouses. John McKenzie, of North Cambridge, reports the best trade in geraniums and other bedding plants since he was in business. Four big pay exhibitions are being planned for 1909 at Horticultural hall, with a number of smaller ones sandwich- ed between them. W. B. Goodenow, of Stoughton, is be- ing kept busy these days picking to- matoes, of which he has a fine crop in his houses. Members of the New England Dahlia Society are predicting an exhibition in Tremont Temple, Boston, in Septem- ber, the like of which has never been seen in America. A number from Boston and vicinity visited the annual rose show of the North Shore Horticultural Society June 23 and report an excellent exhibition. W. N. C. MANCHESTER, MASS. The annual rose and strawberry show of the North Shore Horticultural Socie- ty was held in a large tent on the lawns of the Essex County Clubhouse, Manchester, June 23 and 24, and was a pronounced success in every way. Eoses were finely shown. For the best table of roses, arranged for effect, by ladies only, Mrs. George E. Cabot, Patrick Corrigan gardener, won the gold medal offered by W. E. Doyle. For fifty blooms, teas or hybrid teas, Mrs. James McMillan, F. F. Brasch garden- er, won the Farquhar silver cup. The same exhibitor won a gold medal of- fered by Samuel Knight & Sons for the best table arranged for effect. For six hybrid perpetuals, Mrs. A. G. Thayer, J. McGregor gardener, was first, and William Swan second. The same ex- hibitors won for three blooms. For twenty-five mixed hybrid perpetuals, William Swan was first and Mrs. A. G. Thayer second. For best basket, ar- ranged for effect, Miss Mary Bartlett was first and William Swan second. For collection of delphiniums, William Swan captured the Highwood cup with an excellent assortment. For group of foliage and flowering plants, Mrs. Lester Leland was first and William Swan sec- ond, each securing a fine silver cup. William Swan easily secured the silver cup offered for twenty-five varieties of perennials, also a special for twelve dis- tinct hybrid perpetual roses. Mrs. Les- ter Leland had the best display of glox- inias and William Swan the finest achimines. Mrs. James McMillan led in the sweet pea collection class. Breck's special prize for vegetable collection went to Mrs. Philip Dexter, James Salter gardener, Kawson's spe- cial being won by Mrs. Gordon Abbott. For best and largest collection vegeta- bles, Mr. Salter was again in the lead, Mrs. Lester Leland" second. W.'W. Bawson & Co. had an extennve /collection of sweet peas in 100 varieties, which received an award of merit. Mrs. E. S. Grew, A. E. Parsons gardener, captured a special for Frau Karl Druschki roses. H. A. Dreer had a fine tank of water lilies. James McGregor, gardener to Mrs. A. G. Thayer, sailed from New York June 27 on a visit to Scotland. A number of friends visited him June 25 to wish him bon voyage and presented him with 9, handsome suit case. W. N. Ceaig. LAURIUM, MICH. A. M.

Ottawa, Kan., June 22, 1908. be put in and extensive alterations in other parts of the building will be made. The store will be managed, as hereto- fore, by Mrs. Nordquist, who will give up her millinery trade. The remodeled store will be one of the most up-to-date establishments of the kind north of Chi- cago. ST. PAUL. The fifth annual flower show of the Minnesota State Rose Society was held in the exhibition room of the St. Paul Dispatch building, Fifth and Minnesota streets, Tuesday afternoon and evening, June 30. The following members of the trade were appointed to act as judges: Olaf J. Olson, August S. Swanson and Fred Nussbaumer, of this city, and John Mon- son, of Minneapolis. RICHMOND, IND. Word received from E. G. Hill, who was called to Paris some weeks ago to be a judge at the international rose show, indicates that the stock sent by the local florist will not be eligible this y^ar, owing to the fact that the plants were only sent abroad in March and it is understood that the plants must be in France, one year before they can be en- tered in the competition. This is proba- bly done to allow the rose bushes to be- come acclimated and therefore grow their choicest blooms. Mr. Hill will remain in Paris for two or three weeks and is not expected Ho return to Eichmond before August 1. WASHINGTON. Excepting a spurt now and then, there is not much doing, and hardly enough stock to do with at that. Some fairly good Beauties are being shipped herb from the north. The ' local florists decided to use bay trees and spruce for the decoration for the Municipal building. Trees and palms will be used on the balustrades and spruce to cover the soil, to give a lawn effect. This is to be finished on the evening of July 3 for the celebra- tion July 4. O. O. VAYSIDE NOTES. Thos. F. Buchanan, gardener to Grant Hugh Brown, at Brownleigh Park, Goshen, N. Y., has a splendid lot of Cardinal nectarines and Crawford's Early peaches in full crop, grown in pots in an orchard house, part of a large range built by the Lord & Burn- ^ ham Co. Alex. Bonnyman, gardener to J. M. Fuller, Warwick, N. Y., had charge of the decorations at the swell wedding of Miss Fuller last week. It was con- ceded to be the finest seen in this lo- cality. The Yuess Gardens Co., Newburgh, N. Y., is breaking ground for an addi- tional house, to meet the increasing de- mand for cut flowers. A. Gilbert, of Middletown, is the latest addition to the professional ranks. He has a snug place, with good land. Frank X. Dienst, of Middletown, N. Y., is busy throwing out and replanting carnations. Enchantress is a leader. He reports increasing business. M. PLANTING STRAWBERRIES. At a university experiment station it was desired to start a new plantation to furnish fruit the following year. An old strawberry patch which contained some excellent varieties had just finished bear- ing. The plants which were most pro- lific were marked with stakes, and a plot of ground was carefully prepared beside the old patch. At the first signs of rain the marked plants were lifted, with the spadeful of earth adhering to them, and carried to the new ground. About 1,000 plants were transplanted in this manner. They grew rapidly, so vines cov- ered the ground by winter and they bore bountifully the next spring. A moderate rainfall distributed through the summer is required to make the plants thus treated grow rapidly. This method of planting has many dis- tinct advantages. It permits of the care- ful selection of prolific plants; hence in improvement by selection it is valoable. It gives the plants more time to grow than those set in the fall; it gives more time to cultivate and destroy all weeds, allows the gardener to start his new plantation after the old one has borne and permits the old patch to be plowed under and the weeds destroyed before maturity. j-vnf \4 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ JCLX 2, 1008.

The National Council of Horticulture concluded its season 's series of press bul- letins June 24 with' the statement that it is hoped to continue the service next year. The Skinner Irrigation Co., Troy, O., states that, in spite of the generally dull times, it has installed more Skinner ir- rigation than in any previous year. A number of contracts of good size have been secured and the volume of mail or- ders is steadily increasing. How about the window-boxes you filled for your customers? Are the plants in need of food or water now that the roots pretty well fiu the soil? Why not take a look at a few of them to see how well you did your work and what treatment your customers are giving the plants? POSTAL RECEIPTS FOR MAY. Postal receipts at the fifty largest post- offices in the country for May, which have just been tabulated at the PostoflBce De- partment at "Washington, show a loss of 4.79 per cent, as compared to the corre- sponding month of the previous year. The total postal receipts for the fifty postoffices aggregate $7,072,464 for the month, as compared to $7,429,007 for May, 1907, a decrease of $356,542. All but seventeen of the fifty offices on the list show decreases. It is thought to be significant that most of the seventeen oflSces showing in- creased receipts are located in the west, an indication that the business depression was less severe in that section than in the east. AN EXPRESS DISCOUNT. Edward Reid, the well-known whole- sale florist of Philadelphia, who has large shipping interests in the south, no- ticed the other day that the express companies allow a discount of twenty- five per cent in weight on certain speci- fied commodities requiring ice to keep them in proper condition during transit. This list includes trees for setting out. branches of pepper trees, bulbs, cacti, celery and celery plants, cut ferns, deco- rative greens, holly, cape jasmine and mushroom spawn, but for some reason it does not include cut flowers. The dis- count is to cover the weight of ice. Mr. Reid asked his express agent whether he would allow him a discount of twenty-five per cent in weight on his shipments of cut flowers. The express agent at first seemed inclined to look favorably on so reasonable a proposal, but on consulting his classified list said he found that it could not be done. Mr. Reid asked for a copy of the classified list to take home. This was declined, but he was finally allowed to copy the list in the express company's office. Mr. Reid believes that cut flowers have been inadvertently omitted from this list, because while the express agent claimed that the list is made up solely of necessities, and that cut flow- ers, being a luxury, are not entitled to be on it, a glance at the above items shows that many of them are no more necessities than are cut flowers. Mr. Reid has written to the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington calling its attention to this discrimina- tion against cut flowers, and asking that the matter be rectified. He believes that it is the duty of every wholesaler and shipper in the country to protect his customers, saving them any unneces- sary express charges, and to this end suggests that the Society of American Florists take up the matter at its an- nual meeting next month and appoint a committee with instructions to secure the admission of cut flowers to the classified list on which the twenty-five per cent discount in weight for icing is allowed. Phil. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market At the end of last week there were three days of active business, if at cheap prices, but this week begins with de- mand light. There was jpne, cool weather for the week of the school closings and an immense amount of stock was han- dled, not so much locaHy as shipping. The volume of sales June 24 to 26 ran into a quite respectable sum of money. This week the commencements are over, and most of the weddings, so that the market is down to the usual summer basis. There is a brisk demand for good roses, for these are scarce. Not only have most of the growers started the . work of getting ready for next season, but there is more mildew than usual at this season, probably due to widely fluc- tuating weather conditions and a desire for fuel economy. It seems to be the same way in other cities and many are the telegrams calling for good roses, and intimating that nothing else will do. There is an abundance of Beauties, but only a few of them can be called good except by comparison with the others. The old crop runs largely to long stems. The young crop is better in quality but short in stem. Killamey is in excellent phape with most of the growers and is the best rose on the market today. Kai- fcrin holds its place as the best sum- mer white, but it is not a good shipper. Bride and Maid are in many cases too poor to be useful and, while the best roses sell briskly at strong prices, the poor Maids and Brides are difficult to sell at any price. Carnations are remarkably good. Some JCLT 2, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* J5 Do You Want the Finest Peonies?

Mention The Review when you write. really first-class stock is seen and all carnations now are averaging of better quality than is the rose crop. Eeceipts have been considerably reduced, but there still are enough carnations for all re- quirements. Peonies from cold storage are selling well. A large part of those put into storage by inexperienced people have been disposed of, either by cheap sales or going into the discard. Those now left are largely in the hands of the two oldest and most experienced firms, and are coming out in fair shape, al- though not so good as usual, due, it is thought, to the weather conditions at the time they were cut. Nevertheless, these peonies are now the best flowers of any sort to be had and they sell briskly at what the shippers say are satisfactory prices. The supply is likely to last at least another fortnight. Valley has become almost a glut; there are oceans of it. The pressure of East- er lilies has subsided a little, but there are plenty. Auratum and candidum lilies are abundant. Water lilies are selling a little better, not higher but faster, for window decorations. The outdoor sweet peas are coming in a flood, and June 29 the receipts were several times what the market could consume at profitable prices to the grow- ers. Much of the stock is first-class; there simply is too much of it. Shasta daisies also are overabundant and all the items of miscellaneous flowers sell slowly because of large supply. Green goods are no longer in special demand. All the wholesale houses are now clos- ing at 5 p. m., and those who want stock shipped in the afternoon should bear in mind that the day is an hour shorter than heretofore. Tlie June Business. The June business turns out to have been more satisfactory than was at first thought possible. There are, of course, a variety of reports, but a majority of the wholesale houses say their aggregate business for the month was not far dif- ferent from that of last year, which was an excellent one. Of course, prices were considerably lower than a year ago, but supplies were larger, and on days when the demand assumed old-time proportions a large volume of sales was possible. Those houses which do the largest ship- ping business had the best of the June demand. Locally there was little call for commencement flowers, local retailers having done little but wedding and funer- al work during the month, with an occa- sional order for some social affair, but nothing from the pubUe schools. The shipping demand was strong, but it call- ed only for select goods, either first- class roses or first-class peonies and a few carnations. Drainage Gmal Hits Trade. A big force of graders is now working on the north channel of the Chicago drainage canal, south of Church street and one mile west of Evanston. Few residents of Chicago are aware of the location of this great and important ad- dition to Chicago's drainage system. There are the haziest kind of impressions as to the line of a wide and deep canal that will pass good sized ships through 16 The Weekly Florists' Review. JULT 2, 1908.

Only one who has picked out the engineer 'a stakes of the canal on a tramp from Lawrence avenue to Wilmette has any true idea of the location of this new canal now building. Several florists have property lying in the path of the canal north to Peterson Nursery, where a strip 600 feet wide is cut almost diagonally through the center of the property, taking sixty-five acres of land out of the best part of the nursery. The drainage commission; ers offer Mr. Peterson $65,000 for his land, but have not yet met his views as to the damage due him for the effect on the rest of his property; he asks some $135,000 on this score. Ar- bitration is likely to be arranged for this week, to avoid legal expenses and delay. The canal people take the east half of the property of A. V. Jackson & Sons, mushroom growers, for which, it is said, $600 per acre compensation has been offered. . The ^hannel follows the slough out of Peterson's woods, leaving the slough half- way between Bryn Mawr and Peterson avenues. The center of the canal is the center of the crossing of Peterson and Kedzie avenues. Along Kedzie to Devon the channel veers slightly to the west, but from Devon to Church street in Evanston the big waterway will run as straight as the crow flies. For over five miles, standing at Devon avenue, one may within the next few years watch water craft traversing the once great prairies west of the north shore suburbs. New Year's. Wholesale florists and Chinamen are alike in one respect: they each have a little private New Year's day of their own. The wholesaler begins his year July 1 and many of them are busy cast- ing up the year's record. Needless to say, all are hoping for better things in the year to come, but to many the year's record does not look so bad as they thought it would. Some find that the increase in the first six months has off- set the falling off which many found in the last half of the year. Increased supply has been the factor which has made a good record for some of the commission hotses, for prices unquestion- ably have been lower than in 1907, and the grower has stood the brunt of it. Most of them are hard at work preparing for the new season. It has been im- pressed upon them that the man with the best quality has the call on what- r^-^-evef business is going in times of large supply and, if present intentions bear fruit, the quality of stock produced for this market next season will be better than it ever has been before. One especially pleasant feature of the season's business is the fact that the decrease in the flower trade has not been nearly so great as in most lines; flow- ers can no longer be classed among the luxuries, if this season's experience is of any value. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Keinberg, with Mr. and Mrs. John Schillo and their daughter, start Saturday evening, July 4, to attend the democratic national con- vention at Denver. L. Bauman & Co. are now located in their new building on Chicago avenue, where they have large warehouse facili- ties and plenty of room to grow. They retain their salesroom at 76 Wabash ave- nue. A. L.

At 9 o'clock on the evening of June 26 a Fourth of July balloon fell in the narrow space between the Stollery resi- dence and the greenhouse establishment of Stollery Bros., setting fire to the establishment when everyone was away from home except the children.

He says that increased sup- ply has enabled him to increase his busi- ness, as compared with the same period of last year, in spite of the lower prices which have previuled. ■ John Poehlmann says he is satisfied with the June business, for it has turned oat about as last year, in 8]f)ite of several dull days in the month. He says the de- mand for good roses is stronger this week than any time in June. Charles Northrup, who has a well es- tablished reputation as a grower of sweet peas, is sending large quantities of his specialty to Kennicott Bros. Co. The time was when he had the early market for outdoor sweet peas practically to himself. Miss Martha Gunterberg, who con- ducts a flourishing commission business in the Flower Growers' market, went to Fairmont, Minn., July 1 for a visit with relatives, expecting to be absent several weeks, during which Sinner Bros, will handle her stock. One of the week's visitors was W. H. Trimble, president of the Trimble Green- house Co., at Princeton, HI. They open- ed a store in the business center this spring and have had a fine trade. Louis Wittbold and family have been spending a few days as guests of Mrs. Wittbold 's parents in the country, \ Vaughan & Sperry say asters are ex- pected in force in a few days.

Immense quantities of Crimson Bam- blers reached the market in sprays of great beauty, but the demand for these was small. The best Beauties have held at 25 cents and Maids and Brides at 5 cents, the number of good ones being limited. The good carnations grow less in quantity daily and bring fair prices, bat the common stuff is still abundant and almost unsalable. The market is flooded now with sweet peas, phlox and outdoor roses. Gladioli are here from the south and shipments are increasing. Soon summer rates for these will pre- vail. Gardenias are perfect. John Scott distributed, to all in attendance at the growers' outing last week, flowers that would readily bring $10 a dozen in the winter season. The last of the peonies were fine stock and brought readily $1 a dozen. The Cot- tage Gardens Co. was still sending some fines ones as late as June 26. In herbaceous -stuff there is an abundance. Sweet peas are showing the effects of the long drought. Gladioli are ten days ahead of last season and the Long Island stock will be here in large quantities by the middle of July. The green goods men have an abund- ance of pond lilies arriving daily. The call for orchids has been persistent and large quantities have been shipped to other cities. From now imfil Septem- ber there will be enough of everything and to spare. Great quantities of valley, orchids and roses were used last week by the friends of ex-President Cleveland, and nearly all the best designs were sent by New York florists. The Plant Growers' Outing. The first annual outing of the New York and New Jersey Plant Growers' Association took place Thursday, June 25, at the Huguenot Inn, on the ocean shore near Huguenot, Staten Island, and was a great success. The members of the association and their friends to the number of sixty took the Staten Island ferry at 10:30 a. m., and aftte a 10-miJe trolley trip through the island and an auto ride to the beautiful re- sort chosen for their reunion, sat down at 1 o'clock to a shore dinner that was a credit to the association and the hotel. There were present: President Anton Schultheis and Mrs. Schultheis, Vice- President F. L. Atkins and Mrs. At- kins, Treasurer Herman C. Steinhoff and Mrs. Steinhoff, Secretary W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., and Mrs. Siebrecht, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Dreyer and Miss Dreyer, Mr. and Mrs. Duckey, Mr. Lehnig and Miss Lehnig, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Marquardt, Mr. and Mrs. F. H.

The eighth annual outing of the New York Florists' Club took place Wednes- day, July 1, at Wetzel's Grove, Point View, L. I., the same convenient and delightful resort where the club has pic- nicked so often and so successfully. There was a good crowd and every ar- rangement was perfect. The Bickards brothers have both been visiting their patrons in New Jersey and New England and bring back optimistic views on the outlook. Will Rickards will represent the ancient house of Bridgeman's at the convention. R. G. Wilson, of Brooklyn, and family returned last Friday from a week's out- ing in the Oranges. Mr. Wilson, who is president of the Brooklyn Retail Flo- rists' Association, says the society has already 200 members " and is growing weekly. He intimates a similar associa- tion will be established in New York by the retailers, the two working in harmony. The referee in the bankruptcy of Hicks & Crawbuck, 76 Court street, Brooklyn, sold at auction, June 30, the stock and fixtures of the firm. Mr. Hanfling, of the firm of Russin & Hanfling, returned last week from ■Europe and announces the selection of many novelties in the supply line and an enjoyable trip to his old home. Samuel Woodrow, the plantsman, is making a successful trip through New England. Bonnet & Blake, Brooklyn, are taking turns at their usual outings, one in his fishing smack adding to his stock of fish stories and the other shortly to begin his summer holiday at his old home in Rochester. Joseph J. Levy, of John Seligman & Co., with his family, leaves next week for a sojourn in the mountains and re- sorts of Sullivan county. Rudolph Asmus had the misfortune to fall and break his thigh last week. The accident is a most serious one and will put Mr. Asmus on the shelf for many weeks. William Duckham, of Madison, will make his annual visit to Europe this week. Frank Millang and family have moved to their summer home at Yorktown, N. Y., on the shores of Lake Katonah. McKenzie Westwood, of the firm of Mengham & Westwood, 422 Columbus avenue, with his family, has gone for a visit at his old home in Canada and afterwards for Plattsburg, N. Y., on Lake Champlain, to be away until Sep- tember 1. The new firm has had a satisfactory start. The Dailledouze brothers, Paul and Henry, known everywhere as "the heav- enly twins," leave this week for a trip to Denver, Yellowstone, Portland, Alaska and southern California, and it will be months before they return home. They will visit all the western florists in their travels. L. B. Craw, of the Lord & Burnham Co., was a guest at the plant growers^ outing last week, and voiced the interest of his house in the progress of the so- ciety and his readiness to do his share in increasing its capacity. Miss Zeller, daughter of Alfred Zel- ler, of Flatbush, met with a painful ac- cident June 25, falling downstairs, but fortunately escaped with severe bruises. Anton Schultheis, of College Point, leaves this week for his annual visit to Europe. His sons will manage the big plant in his absence and have added a steam launch to their other ambitious ventures. Mr. Schumacher, of Pankok & Schu- macher, Whitestone, L. I., is now in Ger-^ many. Trepel, in Brooklyn, had the high- school order, the rules this year making uniformity requisite. Enchantress car- nations and field daisies in shower bou- quets were largely used in all the schools.. J. H.

Austin Shaw. PHILADELPHIA. The Rliine Eastern Market. Business is quiet, yet with quite enough going on to keep the wholesale houses and retail shops fairly active for part of each day. The market condi- tions are rather curious. The extremely hot weather experienced during May and June has had its effect on local stock, to such an extent that really choice flowers, home-grown, are scarcer than one usually sees them at this sea- son of the year. Their place has been taken by a wave of eastern-grown stock, notably Beauties and Killarney, for which there has been an excellent de- mand. While this eastern-grown stock is not always satisfactory, it is a god- send to the local market at this season. The flowers, being grown in a cooler clime, are larger and better colored than is possible under our broiling sun, and, thanks to careful packing, usually reach here in excellent condition. The high school commencement, a fashion- able wedding or two, and some out-of- town affairs have created an excellent RUBBER HOSE MICHELL'S SPECIAL FOR FLORISTS' USE Oar 3-ply and 4-ply Reliable Hose has stood the test of greenhouse wear for many years.

Carnations are really scarce, stock that can truthfully be called choice be- ing rarely seen. Peonies from cold storage are over. Double blue cornflow- er is a factor. Sweet peas are on the wane, owing to the heat and to the dry spell. Summer flowers have made their appearance in quantity, achillea, candy- tuft, gaillardia, coreopsis, pyrethrum, hardy phlox, and double white petunias being obtainable in quantities. They are not selling particularly well, but their presence helps fill out many or- ders. Asters have made their appear- ance, but not in a way to create a stir. Water lilies are fairly plentiful. An Empire Wreath* There is national interest in the fu- neral of ex-President Grover Cleveland, at Princeton, N. J., June 26. For this funeral Pennock Bros, received an order for a wreath to be made of cycas leaves, oak leaves from the tree in Princeton College grounds, and orchids. In order to have the wreath in perfect condition, it was made on the grounds. Seventy-five natural cycas leaves were used in the wreath, which was six or seven feet long, a bunch of 200 orchids being fastened at the bottom. CharlM- W. Kahlert, who saw all the flowers on the porch at Westland, expressed the opinion that this was the handsomest floral offering sent for Mr. Cleveland's funeral. A Trip to New Jeney.

The route lay over the Pennsylvania Eailroad to Jersey City, thence over the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western to Branchville, near Culver's Lake. The trio enjoyed a glorious tramp over the mountains, with a mag- nificent view from the top, and many snake stories, but nary a cyp or a rat- tler did they see. It was near indeed to leaving time when a countryman, learning of their quest, told them that his chum had mowed a whole row of yel- low cyps off that morning to make room for a water-pipe, leaving just one. A special expedition was at once ar- ranged to find that one yellow cyp, and I rejoice to relate the countryman proved conclusively that he was not a member of the Ananias and Sapphira Club, of Memphis, Tenn. (whose badge, you know, is a lyre), for there was the yellow cyp in its prime. I wish I could tell you that a rattler crept out from behind the water-pipe and that his skin was triumphantly carried home, but, though a newspaper writer, I am not yet on the waiting list of the A. & S. C, and I am obliged to confess that it took a specified number of pennies, it may be 250, to induce that countryman to part with his rattler skin, which was borne triumphantly home and exhibited to many admiring friends. Wedding Decoration. J. J. Habermehl's Sons had an ex- tremely handsome wedding decoration at Torresdale June 27, which Edward Habermehl was kind enough to describe . for the benefit of Review readers. The mansion was so large that the Messrs. Habermehl deemed it best to use Hy- drangea Otaksa with the palms and ferns, there being no fear of dwarfing the proportions of the rooms. The color scheme was in pink and blue. Pink hydrangeas and blue hydrangeas were used in masses in the rooms on the ground floor, open to the wedding guests. Long strings of Asparagus plu- mosus were freely used. The brides- maids' bouquets were of pink hydrangeas and cibotium ferns. The maid of honor had a combination bunch of pink and blue hydrangeas, something rarely seen. The mantels were banked with Killarney THE Florists' Supply House of America Toneware Vases DHERE is no vase on the market today that has taken such a firm hold on popular favor as our Pompeian Toneware.

The bridal breakfast table, which was circular and laid for twenty-seven guests, was decorated with Kaiserin Augusta Victoria roses, lily of the valley, and Adiantum Farleyense. The guests ' ta- ble*., "eating five or six hundred persons, on the lawn outside, were decorated with pink sweet peas. Mr. Habermehl said that tht effect was fine. Japanese Iris. Automobiles, carriages, saddle horses and even four-ia-hands were gathered at the Andorra Nurseries last week to bring guests invited by William Warner Harper to view the Japanese iris show. The show was one of the prettiest bits ot" scenery, surrounded by nature's set- ting, that it has ever been my good for- tune to see. It is difiicult to describe adequately.

In the center of this plot a beautiful display of many- colored irises, some growing, others in pots among growing plants. Nearly sur- rounding this a superb background of noble trees, divided from the floral the- ater by blooming plants of Chrysanthe- mum segetum and ferns on a gently sloping bank. Throw in a Japanese sum- mer house, a stream, a rustic bridge, a fountain and walks, and you can form some idea of the exquisite beauty of the iris show at the Andorra Nurseries, It was a departure — something dif- ferent from the usual run of shows, some- thing evidently appreciated by the flow- er lovers near and far. Samuel C. Moon came all the way from Morrisville to see that show and stated positively that every nurseryman should do such educa- tional work. The Garden Club of Phila- delphia, an exclusive association of ladies who stand for what is best of floral taste, came fifty or sixty strong and were loud (I use this word in its most refined sense) in their praise. The enterprise of the Andorra Nur- series was further shown by a wonder- ful roadway, said to be two miles long, winding in and out through the nursery, so that visitors to this or other shows will naturally see the specimen trees and shrubs as they come and go. Various Notes. Arthur Cowee, of Meadowvale Farm, Berlin, X. Y., has kindly consented to speak before the Florists' Club at the July meeting, on gladioli. Mr. Cowee is a specialist who has been wonder- fully successful, and his talk will be looked forward to with lively interest. E. W. Goehring, of Frankford, a pi- oneer in the placing of peonies in cold storage, has decided that this was not the year to retard many of these flowers. Edwin Lonsdale is said to have been seeking inspiration on the hills above the Wissahickon June 27. M. Rice & Co. have received their first shipment of the new business year via the steamship Armenia. Stewart Miller, who is with Edward Reid, left June 26 for the south in charge of an especially important ship- ment of choice flowers which Mr. Reid was unwilling to intrust to the express company.

In preparation for these building operations, he has been busy for some months filling in the low land along the river banks, so as to place his entire range of houses beyond the reach of the floods to which this region is subject. Only a short time ago Mr. Tatro erected a number of greenhouses, which he has now chuck full of flowers. He is raising his own American Beauty roses, and after this summer, for the first time in the history of the town, it will not be necessary to import these flowers. The new houses will be located north of those recently erected and will be sim- ilar to them in size and general construc- tion.

AMEUCAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. Pres., Watson S. Woodruff, Orange, Conn.; First Vice-pres., J. C, Robinson, Waterloo, Neb.; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. Max Hildesheim, of the Imperial Seed & Plant Co., Baltimore, Md., will sail for Europe July 8, to make a two months' business trip through Germany, France and Holland. A Teneriffe exporter of onion seed says the farmers are always more or less apt to "mistify" seed crops, and that it is unsafe to buy stocks one has not a full knowledge of. The commission boxes of flower seeds were quite generally cleaned out of nas- turtium, sweet peas and morning glories, the demand in many localities running largely to these three items. The prospect for the crop of onion seeds in California has not been mate- rially affected by recent weather condi- tions. A fair yield is anticipated, but it must be considered that the acreage is short. June was a much better month than May, so far as weather conditions go, both in the eastern and middle western seed growing sections, and went some lit- tle way toward minimizing the effect of the late start. Undee the management of Walter Mott, the Yuess Gardens Co., Newburgh, N. Y., will exploit the wholesale end of its seed and bulb department, catering specially to florists, as well as seek to expand its mail trade with the public. Packing of peas in New York state is now under way. Reports from many quarters indicate that the output of early varieties will be short. Advices as to the outlook in Wisconsin are conflicting, some reports stating that the pack will be short, while others indicate that it will be of a fair average. . Peter Brown, Lancaster, Pa., reports pansies yielding a specially good crop of seeds this year. He says the sale for home-grown pansy seeds is increasing steadily each year, and a number of growers are now doing a large business in it, in spite of the larger quantities of European seed that are imported. George S. Green, who came to the presidency of the American Seed Trade Association when his personal qualities were little known to the garden and flower seed interests, has made a record for breadth of view, close analysis, mod- eration and toleration which stamps him as one of the broad-gauge men of the trade. His year at the head of the asso- ciation was one of the most important in its history and his selection to lead the work for a national pure seed law is a guaranty that the matter will be ably handled, in whatever way it may next appear. PRESIDENT GREEN'S VIEWS. The Question of Seed Legislation. At the convention of the Seed Trade Association at Detroit last week, Presi- dent George S. Green set forth his views on seed legislation at some length, and after careful consideration. That part of the statement regarding the events which led up to sending a committee to '.1~!r.^ Watson S. Woodruff. (President American Seed Trade Association.) Washington, and the hearing, is omitted because previously reported, but the conclusions drawn by Mr. Green are here given in full: The Present Status. At the close of the hearing we were assured that no further action would be taken upon the bill at that session of congress, and that our arguments, to- gether with letters received by Mr. Mann, would be made a part of the rec- ords of the committee. In this connection, I wish to acknowl- edge the courtesy and fairness which were shown us at Washington. Our ar- guments were heard with patience, am- ple time was given us, and I could see no evidence in any quarter of an inten- tion to injure the seedsmen as a class. The full account of the proceedings at the public hearing has been printed as a public document, and at my re- quest copies were mailed to all mem- bers of our association. It should be fully understood that the revised bill printed as a part of my statement on pages 34, 35 and 36, sim- ply embodies tho changes in the origin- al bill suggested by our committee to Mr. Mann, and that none of these sug- gestions have been formally accepted by the committee on Interstate and For- eign Commerce. It should also be un- derstood that the original bill is still on the calendar of the House of Eepresen- tatives on the original report of the committee, and' might be called up for action at the next session of congress without any modifications whatever. I believe, however, that Mr. Mann will probably ask to have it again re- ferred to the committee and that im- portant changes will be made in it be- fore it is again submitted to the house. Need of Preparedness. This brings to us the necessity of be- ing ready to meet in a practical and ef- ficient manner the question of national legislation regulating the importation of and interstate commerce in seeds. Opinion among our members is doubt- less divided as to the possibility of framing wise legislation on this subject, but I regard it as highly important that we show in some manner our inter- est in this subject and our earnest de- sire to maintain a high standard of business integrity in our trade. I be- lieve that if we take the attitude of opposing all regulation, we shall lose an opportunity to assist in shaping a law which will be helpful rather than hurtful to honest dealers, and which may prove highly beneficial to the agri- cultural interests of our country. I believe, furthermore, that if we should be shortsighted enough to op- pose all national regulation of our busi- ness, it would only hasten the day when nearly every state will have a seed law on its statute books. These laws would probably vary one from another to such an extent that interstate business Jin seeds would be very seriously crippled, whereas a well-worded, just and effect- ive national law would doubtless serve as a model for state laws which could easily be framed to conform to its con- ditions and thus restrict interstate busi- ness but slightly. Must Work for Progress. I feel confident that national legis- lation to prevent the importation of Jur.T 2, 190S. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 29 B t a. 8L f av o 4 C D I N) / 30 The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 2, 1908. seeds used solely as adulterants ,and of low-grade seed containing large percent- ages of weed seeds, and to correct other abuses in the trade, is inevitable. It is in line with the great projects for the betterment of trade conditions and for the conservation of natural resources to which the present administration at Washington has practically committed the American people. If we try to stop this flood of public opinion with our little dam, we shall only find the water flowing over the top of it, and the whole works will go out with much dam- age to ourselves and to others, but if wo work harmoniously with the people at Washington for the improvement of American agriculture, adding our prac- tical business experience to their techni- cal and legal knowledge, and thus se- cure a just and helpful law, which will leally tend toward the planting of bet- ter seeds, we shall have the conscious- ness of having worked for progress rather than against it. Uofair G)mpetition. There is a feeling on the part of some of our members that we are being dis- criminated against unfairly in the at- tempt to pass any law. When we con- sider the many abuses connected with some other lines of business which the law has never attempted to reach and the high average standard of morality and business uprightness among seeds- men, this view is perhaps a natural one, but I cannot altogether sympathize with it. The fact that the purchaser of seeds has frequently no means of know- ing the real character of the goods he is buying is a temptation to the unscrupu- lous and the dishonest. It permits the growth of mushroom competition, which is an injury to the honest seedsmen as well as to the buyer of the unreliable goods. We should welcome the opportunity to place our business on a higher plane, to eliminate dishonest competition and to help to save the soil of our country from the invasion of foreign weeds. We should have enough patriotism to give our hearty support to any measure which is really for the general welfare and which does not work an injustice to individuals. I am of the opinion that our business can soon be adjusted to a moderate and well-considered law, which does not require us to do what is manifestly impracticable, but which will prevent the importation of seeds unfit for seeding purposes, and will also pro- vide for the punishmen*- of deliberate and intentional adulteration of seed. Reasons for Opposing Mann Bill. The natural conditions attending the production of seeds, the tendency of plants to depart from fixed types, the production of sports, cross-fertilization of seed, the possibility of erroneous in- formation from growers — these should all be carefully considered in making a law holding dealers responsible. The broad principle of equity that a man should be held to account only for his own intentional misdeeds should be made part of any such law. I have opposed the original Mann Pure Seed Bill for the following prin- cipal reasons: First — It provides heavy fines and prison penalty for oifenses that may, and in practice undoubtedly would oc- cur through errors or omissions of em- ployees in improperly marking and packing or handling seeds; thus making innocent men criminals in the eyes of LEONARD SEED CO.

This is repugnant to the American spirit of fairness. Second — The law does not clearly pro- vide for the exception from its provi- sions of seed while in transit or held in storage for the purpose of cleaning or grading, or while in process of clean- ing or grading or held in storage after cleaning or gradiiig, before being offered for seeding purposes. Such exception is absolutely necessary to avoid complete disorganization of existing methods of distributing and handling field and grass seeds. Third — The third provision of Section 3, regarding the importation of seed containing dead seed, would absolutely prohibit the importation of many im- portant varieties of vegetable seed, the best obtainable qualities of which in certain years contain over twenty-five per cent of dead seedd, which cannot be removed by any known process of clean- ing; the same fact applies to clover and other field seeds, nearly all grades of which contain naturally more or less dead seeds, the percentage varying with crop and harvest conditions where the seeds are grown. Fourth — The fourth provision of Sec- tion 3 would practically prohibit the bulking of various qualities of seeds, for the purpose of making uniform grades, because many merchantable and valuable parcels of seeds contain con- siderable percentages of dead seed and «*eed seed, and no dealer would feel safe under this section, as now worded, in bulking together a number of par- cels of natural seeds, since the addi- tion of a single bag of comparatively low vitality, or containing a compara- tively large percentage of weed seeds, might be construed to be adulteration, even though in the process of cleaning the average quality of the entire bulk- ing of seed had been greatly improved. This paragraph should certainly pro- vide a penalty only for deliberate adul- teration with intent to defraud the buyer.

Iiibit the export of certain grades of seed for which there is a demand abroad, and it is against public policy to restrict such export. Such a restriction would tend to cause the exporter to se- lect only the highest qualities for ex- port and thus retain the lower grades for domestic use. Sixth — The natural and inherent con- ditions attending the production and distribution of grass, clover and field seeds are so totally different from those attending the production and distribu- tion of vegetable and flower seeds and bulbs, that I believe that these two classes of trade should be separately provided for in any well-considered leg- islation, either by means of separate laws or separate paragraphs.

These bulbs have been grown from the origrlnal pure Harrisii, and will be found to be splendid stock for early forcing:, for which pur- pose Harrisii is so valuable. We have bad the stock inspected, and are assured that it is almost absolutely pure and almost entirely free from disease. This is not stock picked up indiscriminately from differ- ent sources, but is grown from one stock and will be found very supe- rior to the ordinary Harrisii usually offered, both in regard to free- dom from disease and purity, and not the late type now so often furnished. Lilium Harrisii has been deteriorating slowly for years, and in order to get back to the true type of the original Harrisii, we have had our stock grown from the original pure stock and it will be found very superior to the Lilium Harrisii usually offered. While the stock is A-No. 1, our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices asked for indifferent stock. We have only a limited quantity of this stock to offer, so it will be advisable to place orders w^lthout delay in order to insure securing this stock.

Subject Urgently Important. It is urgently important that the sub- ject of seed legislation receive the best attention which it is in our power to give it, and in this connection I strong- ly recommend that the two standing committees on seed legislation and on seed adulteration be consolidated into one committee. This will avoid any question of divided authority or respon- sibility. I trust a strong committee will be appointed, and I think that this committee should be authorized to se- cure legal advice at any time when they may deem it necessary, and that ar- rangements should be made so that they could draw upon some fund which would provide for all necessary ex- penses in connection with their work. I also recommend that an earnest ef- fort be made to secure a joint confer- ence of this committee with representa- tives of the committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce and experts from the Department of Agriculture for the purpose of working out a fair and just law.

This improvement results partially from an awakened intelli- gence on the part of buyers, but very largely also from the constant efforts of dealers to improve the quality of the goods they offer for sale. This ten- dency will persist and may safely be depended upon to gradually correct all but the grosser forms of fraud and mis- representation. Perfection will not come because of the passage of any law, but only as the gradual and natural development of hu- man character and human needs. Criminal law is made primarily "to hold the wretch in order," and so far as possible it should be confined to its legitimate province. It is but a crude instrument at best to replace the honor and integrity among men which make modem business possible. Hence we think that an untried law covering a new field should only be aimed at flagrant, wilful and deliberate wrong-doing, and should not contain provisions tending to hamper and dis- organize a highly useful and necessary business. Appreciation of Co-operation. In conclusion, I vpish to express my sincere appreciation of the able assist- ance which has been given me during the past year by many of the members of this association. I am grateful for the active interest which has been shown by the Executive Committee and for the eflacient team work of the committee and other seeds- men who attended the hearing at Wash- ington. Differences of opinion have nat- urally arisen, but they have been ad- justed on the broad basis of considera- tion for the general welfare of the or- ganization. With such a spirit, we may look forward with confidence to the fu- ture usefulness of our association, not only as a means of furthering our in- dividual interests, but of promoting the general welfare of American agricul- ture. THE DETROIT CONVENTION. . The dosing Day. The weather was* much cooler than on the previous days, bringing out a larger attendance at the business session. The report of Lester L. Moore, delegate to the National Irrigation Congress, was placed in the record. The committee on fire insurance was announced as follows: J. C. Vaughan, Albert McCullough and M. H. Duryea. The report of the obituary committee extended the condolences of the associa- tion to the families of the late Everett B. Clark, of Milford, Conn.; Albert Plant, of St. Louis, and D. M. Ferry, of Detroit. The loss of Mr. Ferry was keenly felt by the members, and there- fore oflSeially recognized, even though that gentleman was not a member of the association. A letter was read from G. B. Vay, delegate to the Merchants' and Manu- facturers ' Association. C. N. Page read a letter from the manufacturer of a device for perforating postage stamps. The United States post- ofSce rules along these lines also were read. The idea is to prevent the steal- ing of postage stamps. It seems that this is an important item with some of the large firms, in one instance a firm ha\ing lost many hundreds of dollars.

By perforating the stamps, so as to make them easily identified, this can be pre- vented. It was agreed that the manu- facturer be sent a letter of thanks. A letter was read from Wm. Meggat, the first honorary member of the associa- tion. The question of the revaluation of imports by the customs appraisers was talked over. Many members were of the opinion that some of the tariflE laws are unjust and should be revised to meet modern requirements. Merchants who contract for goods several years in ad- vance are compelled to pay duty on the same at the market value at the time of shipment. The whole matter was finally referred to the committee on tariffs and customs, which was author- ized to take such action as is thought best. F. W. Bolgiano was given a vote of Seasonable Seeds!

The secretary read a number of letters from various places extending a cordial invitation to the association for its next meeting. Among these were Atlantic City, Put-in-Bay, Ohio, and Portland, Ore. The secretary of the Board of Commerce of Niagara Falls was present, to invite the association to make the Falls the meeting place in 1909. H. W. Wood, of Louisville, invited the associa- tion to meet in his city in 1909. A straw vote was taken on the question, about one-half the votes cast being in favor of Niagara Falls. This matter is now in the hands of the executive com- mittee to decide. The above vote is merely a pointer for them to go by. Election of Officers. Officers were elected at the final ses- sion, June 25, as follows: President — Watson S. Woodruff, Orange, Conn. First Vice-President— J. C. Koblnson, Water- loo, Neb. Second Vice-President — M. H. Duryea, New York. Secretary and Treasurer — C. E. Kendel, Cleve- land. Assistant Secretary — Leonard H. Vanghan, Clilcago. Executive committee — George S. Green, Chi- cago; Charles Dickinson, Chicago; Howard M. Earl, Philadelphia; C. M. Page, Des Moines, la.; S. F. WUliard, Wethersfleld, Conn. Membership committee — Albert McCnllough, Cincinnati; Leonard H. Vaughan, Chicago; F. W. Bolglano, Washington. After the introduction and brief ad- dress of the newly elected president, J. C. Robinson, on behalf of the mem- bers, presented M. Green with a large silver berry bowl as a slight token of appreciation of his efforts during his term of office. A feature of the session was a letter from the National Prosperity Associa- tion of St. Louis, in which the secre- tary called attention to the continued improvement that has been made in busi- ness conditions, remarking: "The United States is large enough to carry on a presidential campaign and successful business at the same time. It will not be necessary to wait until 1909 for an improvement in business." President Green said: "Just write the prosperity men a letter and tell them that we seedsmen are doing business and then some." A letter was received from A. T. Fer- rel & Co., Saginaw, inviting the mem- bers of the association and their friends to visit their place in Saginaw in a body on Friday, June 26. It was apparent that the invitation came too late, as most of the members had already pro- cured their tickets for home.

Peterson for the society to hold an outdoor meeting at his home in Westwood on Friday, June 26. So a meeting was called for that date, to which all the florists of Cincinnati and vicinity were invited. Some twenty-five persons were present and, after taking a trip through his greenhouses, where Mr. Peterson's various specialties were seen in all of their perfection, the party as- sembled in his large dining room. Re- freshments of various kinds were served here and then the meeting was called to order. Inasmuch as the board of trus- tees elected last year had never qualified, the old board was considered to be still in oflSce, so Wm. Murphy took the chair, with C. J. Ohmer as secretary. The first business before the meeting was the election of officers for the com- ing year. The election resulted in the choice of the following: President, J. A. Peterson; vice-president, C. E. Critehell; secretary, C. J. Ohmer; treas- urer, D; Busconi; trustee, Gus Adrian. These officers were duly qualified and at once took their seats. A call for ap- plications for membership brought out six. The rules being suspended, they were made members at once. They were as follows: Max Budolph, Wm. H. Gear, R. A. Murphy, Casper Sunderman, Geo. E. Tromey and Chas. Brunner.. A committee was then appointed to take full charge of our annual outing, July 23. E. G. Gillett then brought up the pro- posed invitation for the S. A. F. to hold its 1909 convention in Cincinnati, this being its twenty-fifth anniversary. A vote was taken and it was unanimously carried that the Cincinnati Florists' So- ciety extend to the S. A. F. a most press- ing invitation to meet in this city in 1909, and that a delegation be sent to the approaching convention at Niagara Falls to do all in their power to accom- plish this result. The board of trustees had good reason to be elated over the amount of enthusiasm displayed by the various florists present. Not only did every one of them promise to do all in his power to bring the convention to this city and then to work toward its suc- cess, but they volunteered financial as- sistance in a manner which bids fair to prove that if the S. A. F. decides to visit our city in 1909 they will be treated to a convention the like of which has never been witnessed before. Not only do Cincinnati florists hold this out as an inducement to influence the mem- bers of the S. A. F. to vote to come to Cincinnati in 1909, but they also call at- tention to the geographical location of the city; how it is in the very center of the floral industry of the United States; how it will pull delegates from the east and west, from the north and south alike, and thus bring together a more varied interest than ever before. I might go on almost indefinitely enu- merating the various reasons why this W. E. McKISSICK SUMMER BEAUTI OPKN DAILY. 7 A. If . TO 6 P. M.

We want the vote of every delegate and we want all members of the national society to feel that they want to come to our city, and then, fi- nally, we want them all to come. Cincin- nati has a reputation for hospitality and you can bet your life that we are going to live up to it. The meeting adjourned at a late hour, with a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Peterson and their family for their splendid entertainment. At six o'clock the proceedings of the society were rested for a while and Miss Weber, accompanied by Miss Peterson, sang "Nearer, My God, to Thee," in honor of our late ex-president, Grover Cleveland, whose funeral services were then being held. The next meeting of the Florists' So- ciety will be held in the club rooms, Saturday, July 11, at 8 p. m. It is ex- pected that this will be a largely attend- ed meeting, as much business of impor- tance will come up. Wholesale Cut Hower Prices. Philadelphia. July 1. Per doz.

The other gladioli are being brought into town in large quantities, and find ready sale at from $2 to $4 per hundred. Coreopsis, gaillardias, dahlias and other hardy outside stock move slowly. Valley is scarce, but it is in poor demand. The same can be said of Lilium longiflorum. A few early, short-stemmed varieties of asters have made their appearance and are being used in funeral work, which, by the way, is the principal item of in- come of the retailers at present. The closing of the schools made quite a show- ing for the last few weeks, however. Over on the Alameda county side the retailers claim they have been quite busy, considering the season, and the only complaint registered was the inability of some of the stores to get enough white stock to fill funeral orders with. There has been a plethora of this class of work during the entire month of June, ac- cording to the retail dealers of Oakland and Alameda. Various Notes. P. Von Linger, of the Holland Nur- sery Co., of Elmhurst, is on a two months ' trip to Europe. John Vallance, of C. C. Morse & Co., is on a month's vacation in the northern part of the state. J. D. Maxwell, of Napa, Cal., has been in town during the present week. Thomas J. Finch has gone on a month's fishing trip in northern Califor- nia. J. J. Kegley has taken the manage- ment of Gill's Floral Depot, of Oakland, Cal. G. STEAMER SAILINGS.

Calycanthus floridus, better known per- haps under its common names of sweet shrub and Carolina allspice, is not near- ly 60 much grown as it ought to be. It is true that in exceptionally severe win- ters, such as we had in 1903 and 1904, it is cut down in the more northern states, but it starts from the bottom with such vigor that it soon makes a presentable shrub again. While not suit- able for massing effects, or even pro- miscuous planting, this is a good shrub to use. It makes a nice individual shrub on the lawn. Its foliage is fine and glossy, but its great charm lies in the pineapple-scented, chocolate-colored flow- ers, which this year opened June 10, and last for several weeks in good con- dition. This shrub rarely exceeds six feet in height and succeeds well either in sunshine or partial shade. Deutzia crenata candidissima is a splen- did shrub, which comes into flower when the syringas are on the wane. During severe winters it is sometimes killed back severely, but it soon recovers from this and' for shrubbery use or as an indi- vidual lawn specimen it is excellent. It is also well adapted for cutting, and the double, pure white flowers are serviceable for design work. In fact, any florist doing a retail trade should certainly have one or two plants in his shrubbery. This variety is of erect and more vig- orous habit than Lemoinei or gracilis, at- taining a height of eight to ten feet. It will thrive well in any good garden soil.

We have had the usual demand for weddings and graduations, which helped to move off some of the stock, with the exception df carnations, which have been a glut on the market for some time. Good roses have been in demand, but almost impossible to get hold of, being small and full of mildew, which makes it impossible to get anything out of them. Sweet peas are plentiful and do not seem to go as well as formerly. Hard times may have a lot to do with this, although we don't hear much com- plaint so far. Bedding stock went off in good shape and is practically all sold, and from the prospects there will be little going on for the next two or three months. H. B. S. NEWARK, N. J. On Monday afternoon, June 15, this city was swept by one of the fiercest storms that have been experienced here for many years. The wind, which was almost a tornado in its velocity, wrecked buildings and tore down trees. Olympic park, which was directly in the path of the storm, was damaged to the extent of about $3,000. A quarter of a mile of fence was torn up and hurled over the Hausmann Bros.' strawberry patch, destroying the fruit. Hausmann 's farm suffered much. Several hundred coldframe sashes were stacked up near a barn, and in an in- stant the gale sent a large number of these high in the air, hurling them among the strawberry fields and grape vines, smashing many dollars' worth of glass and frames. The damage to the crops is consider- able, especially to the flowers that are grown for the Newark market. Half an acre of sweet peas was laid flat. NEGAUNEE, MICH. Work was begun June 23 in the erec- tion of the additional greenhouses for the Cleveland Cliffs Co. The contractor in charge is Andrew Lindquist. The site chosen is the vacant space south of the old Mackinaw depot, between Gold and Silver streets, as the piece of ground occupied by the present houses was not considered large enough for the neces- sary additions. The grading for the foundations and for the shrubbery gar- dens was completed a week or two ago. The new range will consist of six houses, each 21x115, and the material for these is furnished by the Foley Mfg. Co., of Chicago. A new office and boiler- house are also included in the plans. Jamestown, O. — Henry C. Fenker will build another greenhouse this season. He says he feels quite encouraged at the end of his first year in the business. He sold all his bedding stock three days before Decoration day. VINCAS From 2'2-in. pots. . .$2,00 and $3.00 per 100 From 4-in. pots 6.00 per 100 Cash with order. GEORGE BISCHOFF, ANN ARBOR, MICH.

J. *l The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 2, 1908. BALTIMORE. • ' The Market Intensely hot weather, a deluge of flowers, many of them of poor quality, and an indifferent demand is the situ- ation at present. Last week saw good calls for graduation and wedding bouquets, but, even with these, prices slumped to quite low figures on nearly all lines, the buyers rather than the sellers fixing the prices. Both roses and carnations are selling low and are poor. Sweet peas are arriving in large quantities and sell fairly well. Dahlias have made their appearance in the markets, but are poor. Smilax is scarce, but asparagus of all kinds is plentiful and cheap. Various Notes. C. Gregorius, of Park Heights ave- nue, had a fine lot of giganteum. They averaged four flowers to a plant and every one out of 500 came perfect. Charles Hamilton, of Mount Washing- ton, was elected a member of the club at the last meeting. He has a large place and does a wholesale as well as a retail business. C. M. Wagner is manager for him. Halliday Bros, have started to plant their carnations inside, as they believe in early planting. William Terry, of Owings Mills, has given up his stall in the Lexington market and expects to wholesale all of his goods. K A. Seidewitz has extended his water system so as to be able to water all of his stock which is planted in the open ground. Q. BooTHWYN, Pa. — John Frigar is erecting a fine conservatory at his coun- try residence, near this place. Sleepy Eye, Minn. — There was heavy hail here June 23. No great damage was done to greenhouse glass, but soft-wooded stock outdoors was badly cut up.

In the Gardeners' Magazine (Lon- don) there recently appeared an ex- haustive discussion of the facilities of- fered in several countries for securing an education along the increasingly im- portant line of landscape architecture, from which the following is taken: "It is in the United States that one finds a model precedent which may be of great assistance, and it will surprise many to find how seriously the question of education in the art of landscape gardening is considered in that go-ahead country. It is, in many respects, an ideal land for the development of gardening of all kinds, owing to the individual wealth and public spirit of the inhab- itants— to competition - in luxury — to the sylvan resources of the country, and to the new and vast spaces available for treatment. ' ' The capacity of Americans to con- centrate and specialize makes them rivals always to be respected, and there is lit- tle fear that impracticable schemes of education will be found at their best universities. Americans use the phrase 'landscape architect' in place of our term 'landscape gardener,' but in the references which follow the English ex- pression is substituted. "Definite instruction in landscape gardening is given at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.; at the University of Illinois, Urbana; at Columbia Univer- sity, New York city; at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston; and at Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. Some tuition in landscape gardening is offered by many of the horticultural and agricultural schools and colleges, but I do not know what weight is to be at- tached to it. A typical example of this group is to be found in the Massachu- setts State Agricultural College at Amherst. "The course offered at the famous University of Harvard is decidedly the most complete and important obtainable in America. . The oflScial register of the university deals with and illustrates the importance attached to the question fully. "A pamphlet issued in 1907 states that 'the object of the courses of edu- cation outlined, is to provide instruction in the elements of technical knowledge, and training in the application of prin- ciples of design, which together form the proper basis for the professional practice of landscape gardening.' A student may obtain professional train- ing in landscape gardening in Harvard University, including both elementary and advanced work, or having had the necessary preparation in another col- lege or scientific school, may proceed at once to the graduate courses. By reg- istering in Harvard College a student may elect courses which will be counted for the A.B. or S.B. degree, and prepare him for the concentrated professional study in the Graduate School of Ap- plied Science."

That is assuming that the water is maintained at 180 degrees. CAPAQTY OF FLOWS. How many returns will a 3-inch flow and a 2 ^r^ -inch flow take care of, using hot water? B. B. A 2% -inch flow pipe will supply heat for 600 square feet of radiation, i. e., 960 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe, while a 3-inch pipe will supply heat for 900 square feet of radiation, or 1,440 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe.

Frisz, of Vincennes, Ind.. writes as follows: "Your No. 13 boiler is carrying 25,000 square feet of glass and I can keep it at 60" In the coldest weather without any trouble. I have three other types of boilers also heating a range of 25.000 square feet of glass, but the No. IS Kroeschrll boiler only takes half the coal and half the work to get the same results." P. S.— Mr. ,^. G. Frisz, of Vincennes, Indiana, has the largest range of glass in Indiana devoted to vegetable forcing. Damm Bros., Chicago. 111., write: "In 1894 we bought one of your No. 12 boilers to take the place of four smaller boilers of another make. Your boiler has done the entire work to the highest satisfaction, savinK labor and about one-thlrti of the fuel we used to burn before. We had that boiler up to 1906, that is 12 years, having no repairs on it whatever, except one set of flues we put in In 1900. Last fall we installed one of your No. 14 boilers, having enlarged our plant. It takes care of 35,000 square feet of glass very easy. When firing we keep the ash door open only about one inch. We think your No. 14 boiler could carry 40,000 square feet of glass." Mr. Nic Zweifel, North Milwaukee, Wis., writes: "I have a range of 200-foot houses with a total of 27,000 square feet of glass. I can get all the pipes warm in 30 minutes with one of your No. 13 greenhouse boilers and it is very easy firing. Can fire just as easy with screenings as with lump coal." W. W. Allabaugh, Silverdale, Pa., writes: "Your boiler gives entire satisfaction. You will notice the No. 4 boiler is rated to warm 10,500 square feet of glass and I have over 12,000 square feet of glass." Theo. Diedrich, Anacostia, Washington, D. C, writes: "No. 6 Boiler carries two houses 20 x 172. and three houses 22 x %; this Is 8,8O0 square feet of glass more than Its rating." Wm. Pinchbeck, Ridgefleld, Conn., writes: "I expect to enlarge my plant soon and when I do shall use another of your boilers. Now a few words about the boiler I bought of you in 1901. This is a No. I boiler, rated in your catalogue at 6,000 square feet. It Is taking care of 7,000 suuare feet of glast in carnation houses and works to perfection. No trouble whatever in cold nights; no night fireman; easy to work and easy to coal. I consider this the best boiler on the market ana I have used a good many different kinds." Jacob Phillips, Rogers Park, Chicago, 111., writes: "Has 20 000 square feet of glass. Can keep 60 degrees In coldest weather. Had one boiler 15 years, only expense one set of flues. Kroeschell Boiler Is so satisfactory that I do not care to try any other." G. Easier. Buflfalo, N. Y., writes: "Had different kinds of cast iron boilers. I am assured that I can save about one-thlnl fuel with your boiler. I started firing October 10th and the fire never went out up to this time. May 12, 1907. This boiler heats both my dwelling and greenhouses and gives the best of satisfaction. My dwell- ing is about 40 feet from the boiler. Can recommend your boiler to anybody. It is the onlj greenhouse boiler." Chas. W. Unglaub, Springfield, O., writes: "I had a cast iron sectional boiler before I got yours; would not give yours for a dozen of the others. Your boiler is the quickest heating boiler I ever saw. I hardly ever have the damper over half open ana the draft shut most of the time. I wish I had gotten it four years ago, when I got the sectional boiler. I would be ahead now. In the four years I had to buy a new section and four heads that had cracked, and I had to be right with the cast iron boiler, and I would have to fire every twenty or thirty minutes. It took more coal than your holler. The cast Iron boiler took much more attention and more coal and would be leaking half the winter. I want no more cast iron sectional boilers." THE KROESCHELL BOILER IS BUILT RIGHT FOR FUEL ECONOMY, DURABILITY, SAFETY and is the most popular boiler made. Daring the season of 1906-1907 the Kroeschell boiler was installed to heat 4,286,000 square feet of glass. 1346 Cast Iron Boilers were replaced by the Kroeschell in 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907. No other type of boiler has ever equaled such a record or made so many friends. Send for catalogue. Kroeschell Bros.

Where should the highest and lowest points in the system be located, and where should the expansion tank be connected? B. L. The house in question, 14x34 feet, can be heated by one l^j-inch flow through each house, with twelve 1%- inch returns in the house to carry 58 degrees, and eleven pipes in the one to carry 54 degrees. The highest point should be at the most distant point in the system from the boiler, i. e., an up-hill system. The lowest point should be the main return, where it enters the boiler. The expansion tank should con- nect with the main return near the boiler. DECORAH, IOVA« In the severe wind and hail storm that swept over this locality Saturday even- ing, June 20, the greenhouses and stock of W. T. Symonds were badly damaged. Some slight idea of the harm done may be gathered from the fAct that about 7,000 square feet of glass were smashed. The loss in the glass itself, however, was largely covered by insurance. His gar- den crops, such as vegetables, strawber- ries and other fruits, were almost com- pletely ruined. This storm is described by the news- papers as the most disastrous storm the county has ever experienced. Roofs of buildings were shattered, windows were broken, trees were thrown down or stripped of leaves and bark, and crops were pounded into the ground.

Gentlemen :— 1 have waited till we would have cold enough weather to have all the lines on. and the working of the system through your trap Is perfect.as It carries the steam as hot at the end of the returns as it is when it leaves the boiler, after traveling more than 400 feet.

WRITB, FOR FLORISTS' BOOKLET MOREHEAD MFC CO., 1043 Grand River Ave., DETROIT MIC«. Mention The Keview when you write. DAYTON, OHIO. Trade During June. All through the month of June our florists have reported a good business, taking everything into consideration. While there were not nearly as many weddings as in June, 1907, there have been enough to keep the florists busy with wedding decorations, bouquets, etc. Funeral work has been plentiful, and this, as we know, is the florists' most profit- able line. Stock of all kinds during the month has been a little scarce, but these con- ditions have been cheerfully complied with, and we have all got there just the same. Fully as much stock has been handled in the last month as in June of last year, but prices have not been quite so good. From the present outlook business still keeps up, but stock is getting scarcer every day. This, of course, is partly due to the warm weather and partly due to the fact that the florists are pulling out the old stock, refilling the benches and planting anew. Smilax, plumosus and Sprengeri have been plentiful. Boses from the early spring plantings are coming in fine, and are just the ideal thing for funeral work. The home-grown cherries are a thing of the past, but there is now an abundant crop of raspberries and blackberries. The Weather. The weather in general through the month of June has been hot and dry, the temperature ranging most of the time between 90 and 100 degrees in the shade. These conditions held true until June 24, when the atmosphere became cooler. There was but little rain during the whole month and the outdoor crops at the pres- Jdlt 2. 1908.

Cupid has been transacting a rather successful business among the sons and daughters of our local florists. June 24 was chosen as the eventful day in the families of two of our prominent flo- rists. Miss Charlotte C. Bittner and Eaymond G. Bartholomew were married on that date at the Miami United Breth- ren church. After the wedding ceremony a reception was held to their relatives and friends at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bittner. The young couple left the same evening for a trip to Mackinac City and the islands. Eaymond Bartholomew is the eldest son of George Bartholomew, man- ager of the Miami Floral Co. The church was handsomely decorated for the occa- sion. The other wedding on June 24 was that of Miss Ruth Magdalene Matthews and Herbert E, Githens. The ceremony took place at the newly furnished home of the young couple. After the ceremony was performed a sumptuous wedding supper was served. Mr. and Mrs. Githens left for a visit to Chicago on the same even- ing. Mrs. Herbert Githens is the daugh- ter of W. G. Matthews, proprietor of the Dayton Floral Co. R. A. B.

The Market Friday, June 26, saw the close of the school year, and now there is nothing to hinder folks from going to their summer resorts. This, with a good deal of outdoor stock now coming into flower, will reduce the flower business to the lowest notch, with funeral work the main standby. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday found a big supply of stock and ship- ping business good, while the local graduation exercises on Thursday and Fb-iday used up most of the good stock, with the inferior grades moving briskly to the du^ip. The demand was fully up to a year ago, but the prices real- ized were somewhat lower. The quality of carnations and roses is turning worse from day to day, the latter especially showing the effects of the hot weather.

TOLEDO. OHIO. The Market* Were it not for the fact that Toledo was blessed with an unusual number of weddings last month, the florists of this vicinity would have gn entirely different report to make. As it is, however, nearly every dealer has been kept busy. Not only the larger florists, who usually re- ceive the bulk of the wedding trade, have been kept busy, but the smaller dealers as well, whose patronage comes more from people of moderate circumstances. Plumosus, ferns of all kinds, and local grown flowers have had an unusual de- mand. American Beauty and Killarney roses have also had good call. Lilies of the valley and sweet peas were used a great deal, but the quality was nothing extra. Various Notes. "We never look for much seed trade during the summer," said William T. Phillips, "but June has been a much better month than we anticipated. ' ' Ke- ports from seed dealers throughout the city are satisfactory. Many Toledo seed merchants attended the convention in Detroit. Miss Helen Patten had the decorations of the Hyatt-Bird wedding, one of the large events of last week. She arranged a wonderful bouquet of white orchids and valley for the bride, and carried the house decorations in a Japanese effect of green and white. Mrs. E. Suder worked out a unique and beautiful design at a prominent wed- ding last week. The entire room was festooned with an abundance of plumosus, and the ceiling was a circle of pink roses. Mr. Schoen reports that a large ship- ment of Killarney roses which he re- ceived last week were of especially good quality. The shipments into Toledo are light at present. Mrs. Bryant, of Genoa, O., is shipping in some exceptionally fine sweet peas. Retailers pronounce them to be as good as any they have ever received, while I. N. Keller, of Bay Shore, has supplied some very nice Shasta daisies. The Florists' Club held its meeting June 24 at the home of George Bayer, president, for the purpose of discuss- ing the general trade conditions. Ow- ing to the light attendance, the busi- ness meeting was dispensed with and a social hour was enjoyed. An exceptionally fine variety of gloxinia is attracting attention in the' display windows of Mrs. Suder. The Youngstown Floral Co. has abandoned the cut flower business for the summer. The proprietor expects to reopen about August 30. Through the kindness of Mrs. E. Suder the East Toledo park, which was donated to the poor, will have a beau- tiful foliage bed in the design of a shield. H. L. S. The Review will send the Book of Grafted Roses for 25 cents.

'I DISEASED ROSE PLANTS. Under separate cover we are sending you samples of our roses. They are one- year-old plants, were in good condition when set in September and were without disease or pests soon after Christmas. The disease began at the bottom of the growth, going up to the bud. The buds do not open, but just wilt and die. We have found some thrips since the first part of March. W. K. B. The samples were in a very dry and withered condition when they reached me, making it almost impossible to make an expert examination. The leaves show signs of some variety of fungoid growth, apparently leaf spot, but this is not the cause of the trouble. The trouble evidently has its seat in the roots. An examination of the roots will probably show some signs of insects at work, or there may be something wrong with the drainage or the soil. Frequent and persistent fumigating with tobacco will keep thrips in check. ElBES. PRUNING HYBRID PERPETUALS. I desire information respecting the proper pruning of hybrid perpetual roses planted in permanent beds. Should they be pruned more than once during the year, and if so, at what time and how much at each time? The same question with regard to hybrid teas. H. L. W. All pruning of hybrid perpetual roses should be done early in the spring,. soon after frost leaves the ground. As a rule, the bushes are pruned too lightly. To secure the best quality flowers and he at the same time easily able to furnish your plants the needed winter protection, the strongest shoots of the preceding year's growth should be left not more than ten •to twelve inches long. Weaker shoots ought to be cut back even more. Six inches should suffice for these. Cut out all dead and old wood entirely. It is also better to remove the weakest shoots. On vigorous growing sorts the wood, of course, may be left a trifle longer than on weak or moderate growers. Hybrid teas require less severe prun- ing than hybrid perpetuals. Cut out the dead and weakly shoots and shorten back the stronger ones a few inches only. Hardy roses require but one pruning a year. Of course, they receive a certain amount of additional summer pruning when flowers are cut. Only a few of the hybrid perpetuals give blooms of any value after the June or early July crop is ovCT, but the hybrid teas are quite persistent flowering, W. N. Craig. ROSES IN SANDY SOIL. Under separate cover we are mailing you three plants of French Rosa multi- flora which have been budded to Amei ican Beauty. Two of these plants, you will notice, are somewhat diseased, or unhealthy, in some way. One seems to be an entirely healthy plant. We would be much pleased to have you advise us, if you are in position to do so, what the trouble is and also in- form us what is necessary to cure this in this case and prevent it in the future. We also budded some roses to Manetti,« and they are not affected in the least. They are all in the same block, in soil which is rather sandy. We have had con- siderable rain during this spring, but no water has stood on the ground on which these are growing. Is it possible that the excessive rains could affect one plant and not affort another which is standing next to it in the same row? This stock a rule, do not like a sandy soil, ftnA where only such soil is to be had it should be well manured and, if possible, have some clay added. Manetti stocks pos- sessing an abundance of fine, fibrous roots will be more suited to a sandy soil than R. multiflora and will, in all prob- ability, produce a much* more luxuriant growth. Why one plant should succeed and an- other go back may depend on the degree of vitality possessed by the different stocks, or it may be in the character of the soil or imperfection in the drainage. Without a minute inspection of the surroundings and conditions, it would be futile to even suggest a remedy. ElBES. TWELVE BEST GARDEN ROSES. Ballot for Nickerson Cups. It will be recalled that in 1906 W. E. Nickerson, of Cambridge, Mass., pre- sented the National Rose Society of Eng- land with three silver cups, which were awarded respectively to the raisers of the best hybrid perpetual, the best hybrid tea and the best tea for general culti- vation which had been sent out in 1900 and subsequently. So suece?sful was this competition that, with the same object in view, and in order to still further en- courage the raising of roses which are especially suitable for general cultiva- tion, and at the same time to assist the members of the society, and more partic- ularly the smaller growers among them, in selecting the best varieties for differ- ent purposes for their own gardens, Mr. Nickerson last autumn offered to present the National Rose Society with twelve more cups. After a consultation with Mr. Nicker- son as to his wishes, it was ultimately House of Killamey Roses at Upsal, Germantown, Pa. is, as stated above, planted in one block, and three or four plants appear to be entirely healthy, then one or two will be very weak and seem to be diseased, and then another lot of healthy plants. T. N. Co. The plants show no sign of disease, further than a crippled growth, which may be due to various causes. Roses, as decided by the committee to invite the members of that committee and other leading rosarians, in England and elsc^ where, to underline in the voting papers sent them the variety in each of the twelve divisions, into which the compe- tition had been arranged, which they considered best complied with the con- ditions laid down. There was no restric- tion as to the age o.f any variety or of siisS^ir-*'-'- ;iii.'X- The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 9, 1908. the class to which it belonged.

At the society 's exhibition in the Roj'al Botanic Gardens, London, July 3, a cup, the gift of Mr. Nickerson, was, in accordance with the foregoing decisions, awarded to each of the raisers, or their representatives, of the following roses, viz.: Turner's Crimson Rambler (climb- ing polyantha), Dorothy Pt-rkins (Wich- uraiana), Climbing Aimee Vibert (noi- sette), Alister Stella Gray (noisette), Ards Rover (hybrid perpetual), Climbing Mrs. W. J. Grant (hybrid tea), Mme. Alfred Carriftre (hybrid noisette), Will- iam Allen Richardson (noisette), Hugh Dickson (hybrid perpetual), Caroline Testout (hybrid tea), Frau Karl Drusch- ki (hybrid perpetual), Mme. Ravary (hy- brid tea). The names of the raisers of the fore- going cup roses and the years of intro- duction are, we would add, as follows: Turner's Crimson Rambler, C. Turner, 1893. Dorothv Perkins, Jackson & Perkins, 1901. Climbing Aimee Vibert, Curtis, 1841. [Tbe only available record of the raiser and the year of introduction of this variety Is contained in Mr. Gordon's comprebensive list contained In the last edition of the "Ama- Jeiir's Rose Boolt." This variety was originally Introduced as Alm^e Vibert scandens.] Alister Stella Gray, A. Hill Gray. In- troduced by Messrs. Paul & Son, in 1894. Ard's Rover, Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1894. Climbing Mrs. W. J. Grant, E. G. Hill Co., 1899. Mme. Alfred Carrifere, Schwartz, 1879. William Allen Richardson, Veuve Ducher, 1878. Hugh Dickson, Hugh Dickson, 1904. Caroline Testout, Pernet fils-Dueher, 1890. Frau Karl Dnisehki, P. Lambert, 1900. Mme. Ravary, Pernet-Ducher, 1899. The American firm, Jackson & Per- kins Co., Newark, N. Y., has reason to feel pleased that Dorothy Perkins stood third in the list, Mme. Alfred Carri^re and Frau Karl Druschki only receiving more- votes. Dorothy Perkins stood high- est in the list of ramblers and climbers of all colors, receiving nearly twice as manv votes as Crimson Rambler. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. The resolution adopted at Chicago, to fix the time for the oflScial year on July 1 instead of January 1, places at the liead as president August F. Poehlmann, of Morton Grove, 111., and as vice presi- dent William Kasting, of Buffalo, where the next annual meeting is to be held. The treasurer, Harry O. May, of Summit, N. J., and the secretary, Benjamin Ham- mond, of Fishkill, N. Y., were re-elected. The executive committee is as follows: Peter Bisset, Washington ; Patrick Welch, Boston; E. G. Hill, Richmond, Ind. ; Adolph Farenwald, Roslyn, Pa,; J. J. Curran, Salem, Va. ; P. J. Lynch, West Grove, Pa.; Philip Breitmeyer, Detroit. During President Simpson's term it was the effort to put the society on a solid financial foundation. The invested permanent fund has reached $2,950, with another $50 in sight. Heretofore when a new set of officers has come in there has been a series of bills to be paid. In order to place the society clear at the beginning of its new financial year, J. A. Valentine, of Denver, placed in the hands of the secretary the sum of $20 and the executive committee wrote a letter to a number of rose cultivators, requesting contributions of $10. These letters were sent out the last of June and responses have been coming so that, without being a burden or tax on. any few members, the society proposes to start out in its west- ward move clear handed. The next meeting, as a matter of gen- eral convenience, will be held at Niagara Falls during the S. A. F. convention, when the formal transfer of office will take place from Mr. Simpson to Presi- dent Poehlmann. The bulletin of 1908 is being pre- pared, and there have come requests for this bulletin from societies and libraries far and wide. Benj.

The illustration on page 5 shows one of the series of funeral designs by C. H. Fox, Columbia avenue and Twen- ty-first street, Philadelphia. It is a graceful arrangement, especially adapt- ed to use where a suitable floral tribute is desired for youth. The combination of sweet peas and asparagus is grace- ful and at this season inexpensive. The bunch is tied with satin ribbon. Mr. Fox thinks that pink is especially, happy where the idea of youth is to be brought out. The variety used in this case was Blanche Ferry. Phil. THE STANDING CRESCENT. The illustration on page 6 shows an excellent arrangement of yellow roses, marguerites, valley and maidenhair fern in a standing crescent, using a dove in place of the ordinary star. This was a tribute from- the store of Hoyt Bros. Co., Spokane, Wash., to the memory of an employee for many years in one of the local flower stores there, and shows that the firm's designer is the possessor of keen artistic perception. THE BALL DECORATION. The illustration on page 7 is from a photograph made at the recent date on which the Yuess Gardens Co. decorated the Armory at Newburgh, N. Y., for the annual military ball of the Tenth Sepa- rate Comj)any. The illustration shows but a portion of one end of the hall, but the decoration was equally elaborate throughout the rooms. The Yuess Gardens Co. turns its hand to anything in the horticultural line and reports an excellent season. The cut flower end has been good, with a splen- did Decoration day business and fine trade in June, due to many weddings and other social work. The bedding season kept them on the jump and in the seed department a larger business was done than in any previous year. AN ELABORATE DECORATION. The international horse show is a great event at the Olympia, London, and this year it owed no small amount of its pop- ularity to the marvelous floral decora- tions carried out by William Whiteley, Ltd., Hillingdon Heath and London. The dull and cheerless Olympia was trans- formed into a beautiful garden, varying not with the seasons, but varying daily as a different style of decoration present- ed itself to the visitors each morning. One day it was a garden of roses, another day an old English garden, another day an Italian garden and so on throughout the week or ten days of the show. The scheme of decoration was prob- ably the largest ever carried out by a single firm and some idea of its magni- tude may be gleaned when we state that Messrs. Whiteley used 15,000 scarlet July 9, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* geraniums, 15,000 coleus, 10,000 hydran- geas, all the foregoing in 48 's and 32 's. Over 2,000 rambler rosea in 16 's and 24 's, in addition to rhododendrons, 8tand3.rd fuchsias, Japanese maples, etc. Further they introduced about 200 loads of clay, 600 square yards of soil and 50,000 square feet of turf, and fifty men were employed getting all into shape for the opening. Quick changes had to be ef- fected, not only in altering from one style to another each night, but where the decorations were broken up in the arena by the horses, much work had to be done in the intervals between the per- formances. On the occasion of the king 's visit the royal box was decorated with rambler roses, pink hydrangeas, Japanese maples, smilax, etc. A ribbon border encircled the arena, composed of mar- guerites, hydrangeas and coleus, with rambler roses in the background and at intervals vases of flowers and graceful statues; also two large golden crowns, four feet in diameter and five feet high, filled with golden coleus and pink hy- drangeas. One of the most effective pieces of decoration was just within the main en- trance, a pretty flower garden with beds and vases of flowers, encircling a foun- tain. In the evening when the electric light was on the effect was exceedingly pretty. Throughout the building stand- ard fuchsias, clipped box trees of vary- ing designs and standard bays were ef- fectively introduced and 500 baskets of Asparagus Sprengeri, with floral trails, were suspended from the roof. The whole of the decorations reflected the highest credit on the firm and the able and genial manager, Mr. Fortescue, who saw everything through and up to time without a hitch. To accomplish this, how- •ever, a day staff and a night staff were constantly at work. PERENNIALS FOR RETAILERS. A Neglected Branch of the Business. One of the branches of the business of retail growers that is only too often sadly neglected, even in many instances entirely overlooked, is the growing of perennials for spring sales. There are a lot of men who are perfectly willing to grow a geranium from a cutting struck in October, have the plant occupy bench room until the following May and then accept 10 cents or 12 cents retail for it, while a delphinium, Shasta daisy, gail- lardia, coreopsis or campanula will bring twice the price, with hardly one-third the trouble or expense in growing. There may not be as great demand for perennials as for general bedding stock, nor can they be always used in place of other stock for formal bedding, yet the demand for hardy plants on the part of the public has been steadily growing for the last ten years, and it seems that while practically all of the larger firms in the country have met and encouraged in every way this demand by the growing of large quantities of stock and the offering of quite a number of novelties of great merit, the smaller retail grower has done but little to push things in this direction. While there are places where a nice assortment of well grown plants are on hand, which bring as good returns as any other class of plants on the grounds, there are more places, by far, where this is not the case. Plants which could have teen just as well grown on the place have to be ordered in the last minute .i Funeral Spray of Pink Sweet Peas. from afar. The shipping of this class of stock long distances, and late in the season, never improves it, and even at its best it cannot be compared with home grown plants. Methods of Culture* Pot grown perennials are of great value and are superior to field grown plants where late planting is to be done, or where stock is to be shipped long distances. This method is, however, but little made use of by the average retail grower, who can lift his plants with a good clump of soil and do the transplant- ing in short order. The culture of pe- rennials is very simple and requires not half the skill it does to produce good specimens of bedding stock in pots. As the object of this article is to help the beginner to work up a stock of the more widely known varieties of perennials for this fall and next spring's sales, I will only speak of such now as can nicely be grown from seeds, which, however, should be planted at once in order to get desired results. An out- door frame is better than flats for the seeds. We sow in drills about five inches apart, and cover with sashes until the small plants are well established. After that, a protection of shade frames, made of laths, will shelter the seedlings from the hot sun, as well as from heavy rains. Great care should be taken in covering the seeds; only too often this is done too heavily. The young plants can be transplanted as soon as large enough to handle. Canterbury Bells, Foxgloves and Poppies. Campanula Medium, or Canterbury bell, should be found in every collection of hardy plants. Many more would be sold if the public could see more of them. At this writing they are at their best and as showy, to say the least, as any other plant in bloom. Seed sown now will produce fine, strong plants by fall, of which some can be potted up in October and kept in a coldframe until about January. Brought in then and given gentle heat, they will make most d^irable Easter plants, for which pur- pose the white, light blue, and pink are the most valuable. Field grown plants can also be lifted in spring, when just coming into bloom. Potted up in 8-inch pots, they will make beautiful decorative material for the veranda. No time should be lost in sowing out pome Digitalis gloxiniffiflora, or foxglove. Seed sown in August often makes fine plants, but these may not bloom the following spring. Sow thin; quite often the young plants damp off before they can be transplanted, on account of being crowded too much. Papaver orientale, or oriental poppy, is one of the most showy early flowering perennials. Its bright red, large flow- ers liven up the border in early June. Even when out of bloom, its fernlike foliage is beautiful during summer. A mass of poppies and Chrysanthemum maximum makes a grand combination. Other Useful Sorts. It is not too early to sow aquilegias The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 9, 1908. The columbines are all beautiful, wheth- er we look at the ones grown from a package of seed which has cost 10 cents an ounce, or at the newer hybrids at twenty times that price. Delphinium, or larkspur, forma a great standby in the perennial bonier. Some beautiful, soft shades of blue l.ave been added of late to the list of varieties. A fine assort- ment can be found in Kelway 's Hy- brids. Sow at once. A half ounce of seed of Dianthus plumarius, the pheasant's eye pink, will give a few hundred strong, bushy plants, which will be loaded with flowers next spring. There are always plenty ad- mirers of this old favorite and more should be grown. Shasta daisies can also be sown out now, as well as gaillardias, in order to have salable plants this fall. Both are good sellers and a good num- ber should be found on every place, to cut from during the summer months. Hollyhocks may also be sown now. It is important to keep the color.^ separate. It a paying investment for but little ex- pense and trouble. More varieties can be added from time to time. All those described in these notes > will stand an ordinary winter, such as we get in the middle west, yet it is advisable to give them protection in a coldframe. They can be at once transplanted into winter quarters as soon as the seedlings- are large enough, giving them about six inches of room each way. Sashes covered with mats or shutters form a good pro- tection, but a covering of brush and leaves will do nicely. Fritz Bahr. CULTIVATION OF GLADIOLI. [A paper by Arthur Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y., read before the Philadelphia Florists' Club, July 7, 1908.1 It is with much pleasure, and with a high appreciation of the honor con- ferred upon me, that I address you this evening upon a subject which, in spite of other business cares and responsibili- A Standiogf Crescent Wreatb. is just as ea?y to do so, and a great deal of bad feeling can be avoided by being able to give customers a red or a pink when they ask for them. There are a great number of other very desirable perennials, besides the above, which can be grown early from seed, but if a good stock of those mentioned is grown by the beginner it will be found ties, has been uppermost in my ambition and desire to excel; that is, the "Culti- vation of Gladioli." Doubtless some, if not all, of you are familiar with the exceptionally rapid development and improvement of this flower during the last ten years or so. Especially do I refer to the artistic forms and coloring of enormous flowers, prop- erly arranged on a gracefully bending spike. The time was not long ago when prac- tically the only gladiolus bulbs commer- cially offered were of one type, the Gandavensis, with stiff, straight spikes,, comparatively spiall flowers arranged closely together, all of the buds devel- oping at about the same time. The va- riety of colors also was limited and it is no wonder to me that, except for massive decorations, the average florist has been slow to take up the growing of this flower. Our Debt to Groff and Lemoine. To such hybridizers as Groff and Le- moine are we indebted for the many types of beautiful and artistic flowers which have been recently introduced, and upon which, although it may seem impos- sible, improvement is constantly being made. These modern hybrids, from their cheapness and adaptability to any kind of decoration, either, large or small, are yearly tempting more and more the artistic, critical and exacting florist. I do not wish to appear in the light of condemning the entire Gandavensis fam- ily. Such is not my intention, for among the hosts of named varieties of this class are many which I value highly on ac- count of some particular attribute or at- tributes which render them invaluable for certain purposes. For instance, I have found the vari- eties Shakespeare, May, Augusta and Brenchleyensis the most reliable for forc- ing purposes, one year with another. With a succession of plantings, also, this; type can be used with splendid result* en masse on extensive lawns, where the contrast in colors is most pleasing. As my task has been principally in the direction of collecting, selecting,, classifying and growing commercially this bulb, my talk will be on this line rather than from the scientific or hy- bridizer's standpoint, although I have- had considerable experience with hybrid- izing in n)ij early work. Early Experiences. Ever since I knew anything about flowers the gladiolus has been my favor- ite, the growing of which I called a fad up to a few years ago, when, realizing the possibilities of the development and consequent demand for the.se modern types, I concluded, if possible, to make a business of the growing of these bulbs. I was convinced, also, that the soil and climatic conditions of my section of the country were especially adapted to the development of a strong, vigorous bulb, which in the gardens of the amateur and professional growers would give most satisfactory results. How well I have succeeded is indicated bv the harvest in 1907 of about 16,000 bushels of bulbs, bulblets and cormels, all of which stock has been disposed of during the season of 1908-1909, with the exception of such as we were obliged to retain for further growing. This stock is made up of selections from unnamed seedlings and named varieties placed in mixtures and color sections, also named varieties of recent introduction, as well as novel- ties not yet introduced, and, of course, some old varieties, which by reason of some particular attributes are still in demand, are retained. Comparing the wild species with the modern hybrids, one could hardly believe that the latter were offsprings of the former. Of the wild species referred to,. I there have so far been discovered 14(> July 9, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* Decoration by the Yuess Gardens Co., for a Military Ball at Newbursfh, N. Y. or more, a few being natives of Europe and western Asia, a few from the moun- tains of tropical Africa. Most of them, however, are from South Africa (Cape Oolony and Natal). The leading parents of garden sorts are the species psit- tacinus, cardinalis, Saundersii, purpureo- auratus, Papilio, dracocephalus, Cooperii, Adlami and cruentus. But few of them are of value to the garden, and then only as curiosities. In addition to the use of wild species, many domestic spe- cies have been produced which have been of incalculable value in securing new types and colors, as far as the general habits and constitution are concerned. History of the Gladiolus. The gladiolus is quite an old flower, for we find that as far back as 1596 Gladiolus segetum was cultivated, and in 1629 Gladiolus Byzantinus was quite popular. Also during the last half of the eighteenth century many species were introduced, causing a great deal of in- terest in this flower. At one time Gladiolus segetum and G. communis were highly prized for their medicinal properties, but for what ail- _ ment I have been unable to ascertain. ' The starchy bulbs of some African spe- cies were also used by the natives as food. In 1823 Mr. Colvill, of Chelsea, brought to notice the variety Colvillei, a cross between cardinalis and tristis. and which by later breeding has shown some beautiful hybrids, especially adapt- ed for early forcing, although the flow- er is quite small. It seems, however, to have been left to Van Houtte to start the ball rolling, when in 1841 he introduced to the trade the Gandavensis type, said by some au- thorities to be a cross between psitta- cinus and cardinalis, while others claim it is the result of crossing psittacinus and oppositiflorus. I am inclined to the former theory, although in some so-called Gandavensis hybrids the blood of oppo- sitiflorus is recognized. Especially is it prominent in that old variety, Ceres. The Lemoinei type, a hybrid of pur- pureo-auratus and Gandavensis, was first introduced in 1878 by Victor Lenioine, and the Nanceianus, a hybrid of Le- moinei and Saundersii, was introduced in 1889 by the same hybridizer. About this time, or perhaps a little earlier, a cross between Gandavensis and Saundersii was obtained by Max Leichtlin, of Ger- many, which strain came to America and was named Childsii. About the year 1887 I happened to see a small planting of gladioli in the gar- den of a personal friend, which, on com- paring quality, vitality and multiplying functions, were a revelation to me. I found, upon inquiring, that they were hy- brids from the trial ground-i of H. H. Grolf, of Canada, and immediately I made it my business to stock up as rap- idly as possible from that source, so that today I have between 15,000 and 20,000 seedlings of exceptional merit, the re- sult of crosses made by that hybrid- izer. Culture in the Field. The methods employed in the success- ful cultivation of the gladiolus are too well known to all of you for me to go into full details; hence, I will touch lightly upon this subject. One of the principal points is to select proper soil, for although this bulb will bloom in al- most any kind of soil and under ad- verse conditions, still, like most flowers, it has its choice of soils. Sandy loam is preferable, but if this cannot be sup- plied, heavy soil may be much lighten- ed by the application of sand. The soil also should be well drained, for the gladi- olus will not thrive well where there is excessive moisture. The soil should be well fertilized in the fall and thoroughly plowed, and again in the spring should be well pul- verized, at which time the lightening {)rGces8 with sand should take place if required. The planting can be made in rows or en masse, according to the uses which are to be made of the flowers. If space is limited the rows may be as close as eighteen inches apart. Such plant- ing, of course, is intended for cut flow- ers. Four inches is shallow enough to plant in any soil for the bulb to take strong root and to permit of suflicient space lor the new bulb or bulbs to form on top of the one planted. By planting this depth, and even a little deeper in es- pecially light soil, the spike from the old corm to the top of the ground is a help toward supporting the mass of flow- ers which are sure to follow proper cultivation, and, as a general rule, no stakes are required except under ex- treme conditions, such as continued high winds, sometimes accompanied by driv- ing rains. Gladiolus bulbs may be carried through the winter year after year in good con- dition, if stored in a dry place, with as low a temperature as possible above the freezing point. Propagation. The multiplication of the same vari- ety is accomplished in two ways: First, by division ; the old bulb producing from two to as high as ten new blooming bulbs. Second, by offsets or cormels, which are formed among the roots be- tween the old bulb planted and the new bulb or bulbs, which form on top. A large percentage of these cormels require two years' planting in order to secure blooming bulbs, and the first year may be sowed in rows one inch deep and about twelve inches apart. t The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 9, 1908. New varieties are secured only from seed, and there is no argument which would convince the modern grower that chance seedlings, by bees, butterflies and other insects, are as good as those pro- duced by hand hybridization, especially when hybridized by one whose experience and knowledge of the habits and consti- tution of the parent plants, as well as the proper methods to secure color results, have taught him when and how to make such crosses. Sports now and then ap- pear in my fields, but, so far, I have been unable to establish and reproduce them. General Usefulness. The blooming of the gladiolus, coming as it does at the time of the year when there is comparatively a dearth of other flowers, is a boon to the florists. "With its new forms and coloring, there is no decoration for which it is not eminently adapted, and the absence of perfume, as well as the odor from decomposition, which takes place with many other flow- ers, places it in the lead for table deco- ration. Beautiful and artistic wedding, funeral and other designs can be made with the individual flowers, while the spikes can be arranged with green foliage in sprays and other forms, lasting much better than roses or carnations, or, in fact, any other flower, which by reason of such use must remain some time with- out water. No florist, whether growing for the general or local market, should neglect to force each year at least a few gladi- oli. Very few are so fortunate as to have their carnation houses entirely free from stem-rot and consequent bare spaces, in which the gladiolus may be planted with excellent results and gener- ally with a reasonable profit for tho space occupied. Then, too, there are other house crops, among which are chry- santhemums, which can be economically and profitably followed t)y the planting of gladioli. ; Planting in the Bench. The temperature in which the best re- sults can be secured is that under which the' carnation thrives.

As the blooming season for the ma- jority of hardy roses is now over, it will pay to look over the plants and remove the seed pods. Particularly is this neces- sary with the hybrid perpetuals. Of course, with such varieties as Rosa ru- gosa, the fruits are even more attractive than the flowers and should not be cut off. In the case of the hybrid perpetuals, which are generally budded or grafted stock, it is important to look over the plants carefully and remove the sucker growths of Manetti or seedling briar, or these will soon kill out the grafted por- tions. How often do we see handsome plants making vigorous growth each year and never blooming — the results of al- lowing the stock plants to grow and kill out the roses! It is easy to detect the difference between these stock growths and the true roses. They usually carry seven to nine leaf petioles, while most of the roses have only five. They pos- sess far greater vigor than the roses and are invariably very spiny, the spines of the Manetti being of a reddish color. These sprout growths should not be cut off near the surface, but pulled out bod- ily, or the evil will only be perpetuated. Only a small cut of blooms can now be expected from the hybrid perpetuals, al- though there are some varieties, like Frau Karl Druschki, Mrs. Sharman Crawford and Mrs. John Laing, that are good fall bloomers. The hybrid teas are an invaluable class of roses. Their per- sistent blooming qualities and great va- riety of colors are strong points in their favor. For design work these are valu- able, for there is scarcely a day from June until October when nice flowers cannot be picked. To keep them bloom- ing well and growing vigorously, artifi- cial waterings, with occasional doses of liquid manure and constant tickling of the sou with the hoe, are necessary. Keep the dead leaves picked off. It is sur- prising how quickly one crop of flowers succeeds another. Attacks of Aphis. Both under glass and outdoors, aphis attacks are at this season very persistent and, unless speedily combated, great dam- age to the plants will result. Under glass, of course, fumigation will keep these pests in control, but in hot weather injury easily results from closing the houses up tight all night, and spraying methods are really preferable. Black fly on chrysanthemums breeds fast now. A partial cure is dropping to- bacco dust on the tops of the shoots, but spraying once a week with a nicotine or soap solution is better. Kerosene emul- sion makes a useful and safe insecticide for all forms of aphis. It is easily made and will keep for months when pre- pared. If a small quantity is needed, shave eight ounces of any hard soap fine and dissolve in a gallon of boiling water. Remove from the fire and stir two gal- lons of kerosene into it. Churn until it becomes creamy and later butter-like. Keep in a stone crock for use. Do not use wooden kegs, or much of the oil will escape. Use one part of this emulsion to ten parts of water for green fly, one part to six for black fly, applying it in the evening. This can be used on practi- cally all plants subject to aphis attacks. Even the white fly is kept in check by its use. In using whale oil soap, one pound to eight gallons of water will destroy aphis. "We find this more liable to burn the foli- age, especially under glass, than the kero- sene emulsion. Before applying whale oil soap, remove the sediment which floats on the surface of the water and be sure to keep the mixture thoroughly agitated. San Jose Scale. There is probably not a single state in the Union where the San Jose scale is not now firmly established. The absence in ifiost locations of natural parasites, the astounding fecundity of the scale and the fact that it is carried from place to place on the feet of birds cause it to spread with alarming rapidity. Its small size renders it so inconspicuous that it is only when shrubs begin to have a sickly appearance or are entirely dead that its presence is detected. For badly affected plants, pulling up and burning is the best remedy. Where, however, some valuable shrubs are at- tacked which it is desired to save, a syr- inging with one of the soluble oil prepa- rations, such as Scalecide, in the propor- tion of one part of the oil to twenty of water, will be found effective. "Where large areas are to be sprayed, the cost of this remedy may prove a deterrent and in such case the lime and sulphur mixture should be applied. This is, however, dif- ficult to prepare and disagreeable to both man and beast to apply. All the roses are subject to San Jose attacks. So, also, are lilacs, hawthorns, poplars, willows, Japanese quinces, pears, plums, currants, gooseberries and many other fruits and ornamental shrubs. For application to the bark with a brush, two pounds of whale oil soap in a gallon of hot water will kill the pest. This mix- ture must not be applied to the foliage, or it will burn it. It can, however, be applied in spray form while trees and shrubs are dormant. Under glass, hydro- cyanic acid gas is the only safe remedy. It is now compulsory for many nur- series to fumigate their stock before sending it out. Probably this is not al- ways done. At all events, the receipt of shrubs from nurseries advertising clean bills of health from state inspectors, which come badly affected with the scale, shows that greater care is still necessary in this respect. Lorraine Begonias. Growth is never rapid with Lorraine begonias during the hot months. With the advent of cooler nights they will, however, make quicker headway. Grow them in a house or frame where the glass is just sufiSciently shaded to break the hot rays of the sun. Heavy shading is quite harmful. Spray them over once or twice a day lightly and close up about 4 o'clock, to give them a warm, moist, • growing atmosphere. Put on a little ven- tilation for the night. Do not allow the plants to become potbound. When pot- ting, avoid large shifts and use plenty of flaky leaf-mold in the compost. Keep July 9, 1908. The Weekly Florists* Review. the tops of the leading shoots pinched and remove all flowers. Dahlias. While essentially a late summer and fall flower, some of the earliest planted dahlias are already showing their flower buds. Such plants will finish blooming long before the first sharp frost blackens their foliage. We have for some years favored rather late planting, sorts set out in early June giving later blooms and of equal quality to those planted a month earlier. It is not wise to leave more than one strong shoot to a plant. If the top is pinched out of this when eight to ten inches high, it will cause free branching, and with such plants staking can almost be dispensed with. Most of the large commercial growers use no supports, but where small lots are grown for home trade, it pays to use some stakes. There is then no probability of the plants being broken to pieces by high winds. Keep the ground freely cultivated and the plants will grow fast. It is not too late to root cuttings of any kinds you may desire to save pot roots of. These can either be rooted singly in pots of sandy loam, in which they can remain, or they can be placed in a propagating bed and potted off when rooted. Plunge them in an old hotbed after being rooted in the pots. They will make nice pot roots for selling another season, preferable in many re- spects to the large ground roots. Antirrhinums. If any early planting of antirrhinums is desired, it is not too early to sow a batch of seeds. These can either be potted off singly or transplanted to the open ground when large enough to han- dle. While we have seen good results from each system, the potted plants have generally done the best. Cuttings taken from good selected plants can also be used. These are less vigorous than seed- lings, but produce finer spikes and have, of course, no poor varieties, some of which will usually appear among the seedlings. Do not use mixed seedlings. There is a good call for separate colors, but very little for mixtures. Clematis Paniculata. Where seed of Clematis paniculata was sown late last fall and kept in a cold- frame, there is now a fine crop of seed- lings appearing. These will be trans- planted in nursery rows within a month 's time, a cool, moist day being chosen for the work. While it takes two or three years to get strong, salable plants, the method of propagation is so simple that anyone can adopt it with success. There is always a good demand for plants of this popular climber. LILIES DAMAGED BY STORM. Will you kindly let me know if the bulbs of the auratum and rubrum lilies can be kept for next season? We have just had a bad hail storm, which de- stroyed everything, and some of these lilies were in bud. Can I expect as good a crop from lily bulbs kept over for next crop? L. A. G. While you could keep over these lilies in pots until another season, they would not give you as vigorous spikes as the first year. You can repot them when dormant, treating them as you would newly imported bulbs, and get flowers a little earlier next season than would Establishment of A. "Wakefield, Waterville, N. Y. have been the case this year had they flowered. We doubt, however, if it will pay you to go to this trouble when the low price of the bulbs is considered. Our advice would be to put your dam- aged plants outdoors, in good soil where they can get some shade. Set them deeply, covering the tops of the bulbs eight to ten inches. Give a coating of coarse manure as a winter mulch. These will give you a useful lot of blooms next July and August. Purchase some fresh bulbs in November. Grow these ihdoors all the time. For the first few months a cold pit or frost-proof shed will an- swer well. After growth starts, give them a cool greenhouse. C. W. GOOD BUSINESS. At Waterville, N. Y., A. Wakefield conducts the neatly kept establishment shown in the accompanying illustration. Waterville is not a metropolis, and Mr. Wakefield is not a specialist, but he has been at it twenty-two years and each one of them has given him a living and a profit. In speaking of present busi- ness conditions he says : ' * Trade has never been better in my twenty-two years of experience. I have kept an ac- count of sales for each month and for each year during all that period and the total for the last year was about five per cent greater than for any of the years preceding. I have every reason to believe that it will be larger again this year. People ■ are learning that it is not ex- travagance to plant flower beds, but a good investment, as it contributes to their pride, their pleasure, and the in- crease in the value of the property." SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Trade's Exhibition. Now that the spring rush of business and work is practically over, the florists' thoughts will naturally turn to the an- nual convention. It seems to me any- thing new that can be said on this sub- ject should prove of interest at this time. The trade exhibition, of which the man- agement has been placed in my hands, will be as interesting and complete as in former years. Entries which have been made up to now bear me out when I say that I think this will even be the banner year for this branch of the Society of American Florists' convention. It will be worth while to travel a long way to see all the good things that will be shown here. It is still six weeks to the time when all florists will wend their way to beau- tiful Niagara Falls, but already there are about forty firms and individuals who have taken space and are making prepa- rations to show their wares and products to the many visitors who will fill the large halls and rooms where the exhibi- tion will be held.

Keeping complete records and prop- erly and permanently labeling a field of peonies consisting of several hundred va- rieties, that have been purchased from a number of different growers and at different times, becomes a problem unless done thoroughly and in the right way. Especially is this true where the roots are grown for sale and must be kept true to label. The fact that the flood has washed out, or that a careless plowman or hoeman has broken off, the label, or that a fire has destroyed the records does not con- stitute with the buyer a sufficient excuse why one should make him suffer, and the buyer is right. Ward "Welsh, of the Perennial Gar- dens, Springfield, O., has, after consid- erable time in experimenting, adopted a method that to me is both simple, safe and sure, consisting of four articles — a record, a chart, permanent and tempo- rary labels. There is first a record book of plant- ings, then a chart of the field by rows. Of each of these there are three copies, kept in separate places so as to avoid loss by fire or otherwise. The Record. Each variety is given a number, which is never changed. This is entered in the record book, the page of the same num- ber being used for its record. Where known the introducer, with year of in- troduction, is given, with the different descriptions one can find; also your own description, with such other notes as may be of interest. To illustrate, Marie Lemoine is given the number 31. It will appear on page thirty-one of the record thus: "31 Marie Lemoine (Calot 1869)." Then follows the different descrip- tions, noting whose they are. Thus: "10/15/OG Bee 600, 65c, true," would indicate that October 15, 1906, there had been purchased from Beerhorst & Son, 600 Marie Lemoine at 65 cents each and that they were true to name. A record is also kept of planting, when divisions are made, and also of sales, with wholesale prices for each year. These are all matters of interest from many points of view and as the years go by the information this record book will sup- ply will not only be of great value but amusing as well. For instance, a record like, this, on page 101: "9/26/04 Joe, — •■ l,b6b,''4(ic, measly pink," would indicate '■.^*M.: t^g;t'rS8^ember 26, 1904, you purchased from Jones & Co. 1,000 Mme. Ducel at 40 cents each and that they not only turned out untrue, but worthless for any pur- pose. Does the honest grower put these worthless sorts in his mixture to be sold to nurserymen and to the department store trade at a cheap price? No; they find their way to the rubbish pile. In the meantime, you have had it out with Jones & Co. and have either got back your $400 or else are holding the bag. Your records will also show that you paid from $30 to $40 per hundred for Festiva Maxima in 1904, while in 1908 you are selling them for $14. If such matters are not recorded you soon forget these facts, where you are growing many varieties. By all means keep a record book. Some use cards; I prefer the book, of which a pocket edition is used m the field at blooming and planting time. The Chart. The chart of the planting consists sim- ply of a record of the rows. The Peren- nial Gardens' planting is divided in the center by a roadway or turning row, the rows on either side being about 300 feet in length. Where the varieties are in sufficient quantity, they are planted in even rows; when more than one variety is planted in a row, three feet is left in the rows between each variety. The chart would read thus : * ' Rows 1 to 40 inclusive. No. 30. (The record book shows this to be Festiva Maxima). Row 41, ten feet No. 132; fifty-five feet No. 158; 100 feet No. 127." Being interpreted: Ten feet of Avalanche, fifty-five feet of Modeste Guerin, 100 feet of Mme. Buc- quet and 135 feet of Claire Dubois. Thus, with the chart, you can pull up or de- stroy every label in the field and still have no mixture. Your record book goes on forever, while the chart, of necessity, is made new ^fter each planting. Permanent Label. There are two labels used, permanent and temporary. The permanent label is of red cedar, Ix2%x24, and remains in the ground permanently, driven so that only eight inches remains above the ground, being out of the way and in no way interfering with the cultivation. Tke wood precludes decay. They bear the legend, stamped in the label with a steel die, "12 Uni, " which means Albert Crousse, purchased from the United States Nursery Co. Say this variety had been purchased from ten different firms: each purchase would have a label bearing the number 12 and the first three letters of the name of the firm from which the plants were purchased. There is no guesswork about this label. It tells that certain plants of a certain variety were purchased from a certain firm. When the variety is proven this fact goes on your record book and all but the head label is dispensed with. Red cedar is liable to sometimes split down in driving it into the ground, but with care and by placing a block on the end of the label when driving, few are injured. Better to lose a few labels than to use wood in your labels that goes to pieces in a short time. Red cedar is practically indestructible by the elements. Temporary LabeL The temporary label consists simply of a common pine picket, four feet in length, painted white, with the number and name lettered in black, thus: "276, Marguerite Gerard." This temporary label is used at blooming and digging time and makes it easier for everyone, as referring to records is avoided. One might use ten or more permanent labels for a variety but never require more than one temporary label to head the variety, being placed immediately back of the first or head permanent label of each variety. When not in use, they are stored in the dry and are thus never in the way when cultivating by plow or hoe. Care should be taken in the lettering of this label, as it will answer for many years. The lettering should be done neat- Doubt'' Peony Mme. Furtado. July 9^ 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review. n ly by one who knows. Try an under- study in a civil engineer's oflSce to do this lettering for you. You will find this temporary label a "joy forever" and pleasant to look at, and all visitors to your grounds while the peonies are in bloom will rise up and call you blessed. And then, again, it gives you more time to study your pets, with the pocket edi- tion of your records containing all the necessary data and a legible label giving the name in full standing out plainly and well above the foliage. It is a great pleasure to inspect a field of peonies un- der such conditions. The Proven Ground. To one who has grown peonies and loves them, how well do they regret the years they do not see them give normal bloom by reason of having to dig and divide the plants to get the increase! To over- come this, Mr. Welsh has a pcoven field that is left undisturbed; this planting contains as well the discarded varieties as those that are accepted as worth grow- ing; in other words, this proven plot is a permanent planting of every variety, planted high above frost to insure their blooming each year and used as an ob- ject lesson. What a pleasure they are! It is usual in writing about the peony that the good kinds are lauded but noth- ing said about the worthless sorts, of which there are many. To my mind a record of the poor varieties of peonies is just as valuable as a record of the good varieties, hence the proven plot contains, * ' lest you forget, ' ' every variety pur- chased, and reminds you to keep away from certain kinds, while of others it says, ' ' Get all you can. ' ' Then, again, the Perennial Gardens have a permanent planting for cut flow- ers well up on the side of a hill, with a forest for background; this to be out of the way of frost. I saw a block of Fes- tiva Maxima, from which 8,000 blooms had been cut one morning, and after cutting the plants gave the appearance of a bank of snow. Flowers were shipped as far as Oklahoma and Canada with good results. The florist who gets some of the best varieties in the different colors will have a useful cut flower coming in when he needs flowers badly and in addition can reimburse his exchequer by the sale of roots, but by all means know what you have. Do not be satisfied with the local term "F. L. A. pink" (first, last and all the time), for the grand variety, Liv- ingstone; better call it "Old Liv." I am unqualifiedly in favor of a good local name to sell either flowers or plants by, but I should consider myself a back number were I not familiar with the proper name of a flower I was growing when same could be determined. John M. Good. PEONY QUEEN VICTORIA. Queen Victoria and Whitleyi are re- garded as synonymous names, but Queen Victoria is the one now generally recog- nized, although Whitleyi has a claim of priority. It is specially interesting to note that this variety was introduced ex- actly 100 years ago. The name Queen Victoria first appeared in 1830, which is some little time before the horticultural trades in America had attained their present development. Who introduced Queen Victoria, or if different varieties were sent out by that name, is not settled. The peony check-list published at Cornell, where the American Peony Society has its trials, states that Queen Victoria was Peony Queen Victoria. introduced by Kelway. C. W. Ward says it was originated and distributed by Gue- rin. The peony check-list says the French sort, Reine Victoria, is quite different. However, the variety shown in the ac- companying illustration is so generally recognized as possibly the best cut flower peony that it has become one of the most widely grown in the United States and a planter is practically sure of getting the right thing wherever he orders Queen Vic- toria or Whitleyi. The flower is not one of the largest, but it has a well-filled center, creamy white, with pure white outside petals. Its popularity with flo- rists lies in the fact that it is such an excellent keeper and shipper. It is prob- able that for the Chicago market, where the cold storage of cut blooms of peonies was first practiced and is now carried on to a greater and more successful extent than in any other market. Queen Vic- toria comprises nearly half of the total number of blooms stored. Queen Victoria is not only one of the best sorts for florists for cutting, but is so plentiful that prices are down to where it is among the cheapest. PEONY MME. FUETADO. Mme. Furtado is one of the old sorts that is, perhaps, not so well known as it should be. It is a Guerin variety and was, so far as records go, first described in 1863, by the Bevue Horticole. It is a strong grower and profuse bloomer, as will be seen by the accompanying illus- tration. The color is rosy purple, the center rose-tipped purple. The period of blooming is midseason and the flower is fragrant. It is a sort not listed by many dealers and only three of the test collections at Cornell contain it. find hew inserted in the benches? Can they be made at any time of the year when runners are available? A. D. Z. This query probably refers to the run- ners of nephrolopis, and the usual prac- tice is to allow the runners to remain on the parent plant until they have formed some roots and also begin to throw up fronds, after which the young plants are cut away from the parent iind potted into 2Vj-inch pots. The newly potted young plants should he kept moist and also protected froiii the sun until thry become established. In order to get a good crop of runners, the old plants should be planted out on ;i bench, and in a light and airy house w ill soon produce a good crop of sturdy young plants. W. H. T. SOWING SMILAX SEED. Please let me know the best time and way to sow smilax seed. L. V. The best time to sow smilax seed is from Christmas to the end of March. ■ Soak the seeds for about twenty-four hours in lukewarm water, then sow . in trays, cover the seeds one-quarter to one- half inch with well enriched soil, water thoroughly and set in a warm house near the glass. Keep the boxes covered with paper until the seedlings appear above the ground. Albert F. Amling. FERNS FROM RUNNERS. I would like some reader to give the method of rooting ferns from runners. At what stage of growth should they be KENTIAS FROM SEED. Please let me know how to start Ken- tia Belmoreana from seed. State the kind of soil, treatment, etc. H. H. P. When growing kentias from seed in quantity, they are usually sown in a .shallow bench in a warm house, using 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review* JULX 9, 1908. any light soil without manure, and cov- ering the seeds to a depth of one inch. A smaller lot could be sown in flats, using flats from three to four inches deep and covering to the same depth as suggested libove. The flats should be placed in a warm and shaded position in the greenhouse and kept moist. * These seeds are very irregular in germination, and while some of them may come up in two months, there may be others that will not show for nearly a year. So it becomes necessary to be patient before deciding that the seeds are poor. W. H, T. OBITUARY. James CoIe« St. James Cole, Sr., is dead! The news spread rapidly among his former ac- quaintances, casting gloom and sadness as it went. Mr. Cole was one of the old residents of Peoria, 111., having set- tled there in 1863, and there he resided among his flowers and plants until the end came Tuesday afternoon, June 30, at his home, 1602 North Perry avenue. Perhaps nothing in his life will so well illustrate his love for flowers and horticulture as his death. Surrounded by his children and grandchildren, his last words were for the beauties of his flowers. His entire life had been de- voted to them and he seldom left his home to go into the business part of the city, preferring to remain among them. In full possession of all his fac- ulties until quite recently, hale and hearty at 87, Mr. Cole was considered one of the premier florists of the west. For years he had conducted greenhouses in the upper end of the city, and had given to Peoria some of its rarest flow- ers. Floriculture was with him an in- spiration rather than an industry. Deceased was born in Buckfast Leigh, Devonshire, England, in 1821. Here he learned the carpenter and builder's trade about the year 1840. In 1849 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Manning, of Plymouth, England, the marriage tak- ing place in London. In the year 1857 he left England and coming to this country, settled in Toronto, Canada. After a residence there of four years he came to Chicago to live, and shortly afterwards removed to Peoria. Since his arrival there he had seldom been seen on the streets, the last time being when he journeyed to the business dis- trict to witness his grandson march in the Shriners' parade. Only a few years ago Mr. Cole and his wife celebrated their golden wed- ding anniversary, and this was an event of much rejoicing and happiness to the assembled members of the family. In the year 1902 his wife died. He leaves to mourn his loss three sons, James Cole, Jr., Joseph Manning Cole and Nel- son Cole, and one grandson, James Cole. Two other children, a daughter, Augusta Cole, who died in Peoria in 1894, and a son, William Cole, who died in To- ronto in 1861, preceded the deceased. The funeral services over the remains were held July 3. Newark, O. — William Dickerson, for- merly of this city and who has been con- nected with the Monitor Stove & Range Co., of Cincinnati, for some time past, returned to Newark recently for a two weeks' visit, after which he will go into the greenhouse and poultry business in Canton, O. NEW YORK. ThcMaitet. There has been no break in the in- tensely hot spell and this week opens with a temperature of 90 degrees and excessive humidity. A few more days like this and the condition of things will be serious. Already the gardeners of Long Island feel the strain. Another week of drought and the tomato crop will be hopelessly ruined. The damage to all kinds of vegetables will be enor- mous. The florists share in the general anxiety and feel intensely the need of rain. The few showers have only been tantalizingly brief and ineffective. David Mellis tells me it takes his entire force, almost, to water the 2,000 lots under his care in Holy Cross cemetery, and his ex- perience may be taken as a general in- dication as to the results in and around the city. Gladioli, especially, are suffer- ing, of outdoor flowers, and at the pres- ent outlook there will be a great loss to encounter. The lawns are gray and the leaves are falling in the parks. Business is at the lowest ebb in the financial district and Twenty-eighth street is always in sympathy with the spend- ers. With brokers poor, race tracks clos- ing and society away in the country, what is there left for the florist but recrea- tion? All who can are away, or going where the wicked cease from troubling, in the hills or by the sea. Roses are a sight, most of them short- stemmed, open and unsalable. The few good ones are corralled quickly, and of the rest — silence. Carnations are not worthy even of honorable mention, and so on down the list. What's the use of troubling labout it during July? The weddings are over. There's only funer- als and those who go away in ships to stir the waters. Florists' Qub Outing. The eight annual outing of the New Yprk Florists' Club, July 1, was the record outing of its career. Every year the crowd grows larger and the enthusi- asm greater. This year nearly 400 were in attendance. The weather was per- fect. No accident marred the happy occasion. Vice-president Marshall and President Traendly, of the S. A. F., made graceful tumbles in their races, but did the ground no serious injury. Stowe's orchestra used up an immense amount of air and played for about ten continuous hours the Scotch and national melodies, as usual, evoking the greatest enthusi- asm. The human calliope, Bob Berry, also added his quota to the musical de- partment. The dinner was excellent and the refreshments on the boat were abun- dant and varied. Great credit is due Chairman Marshall and his committee of twenty for the perfect arrangements of the day, and also to the generous adver- tisers and contributors of prizes, who made the outing an artistic and finan- cial success. After the group photograph had been taken, and before dinner, the ball game was completed. Mr. Totty umpired to the satisfaction of all.

So many ladies bowled that the men were unable to finish before the boat left, and so the contest will be continued in 1909. These outings are becoming great fam- ily reunions; never so many mothers and children as this year. All the babies received Teddy bears, the first prize go- ing to the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Schmutz, Jr. Prize winners in the athletic contests were: Girls' race, under 5 years — Jennette Marshall first, Bella Scott second, Dorothy Bolles third.

Most of the prizes were $5, $2.50 and $1 in cash, the first and second in gold. Dancing, boating and other amusements rounded out the happy day. The trip home was good-naturedly hilarious. On the lower deck some of the club's bul- warks indulged in melody, Auld Lang Syne predominating. ' ' All 's well that ends well," and no outing the New York club has ever enjoyed is fuller of pleasant memories.

Chicago, June 30, 1908. for Europe this week, has cut out his trip this season and will test his new steam yacht as a rejuvenator, with his family, on the Sound. Louis Schmutz and his relatives, to the number of twenty, easily bore off the palm for family honors at the Flo- rists' Club's outing. Julius Eoehrs, Sr., will leave shortly for his annual tour in Europe. The transportation committee of the Florists' Club is already busy arrang- ing for the trip to the Niagara Falls convention. If all who intend to go will send their names to Walter Sheridan, 39 West Twenty-eighth street, it will greatly aid the committee in perfecting arrangements. New York must make a demonstration this year and the spe- cial train should carry at least 200. H, E. Froment will enjoy his summer rest "in the clouds" early in August, as usual. Mrs. Charles H. Totty and daughter will leave next week for their summer outing at the old home in Canandaigua, N. Y. In the meantime, the mum king is busier than ever dispensing novelties and will stay so until after the conven- tion. The Stumpp & Walter Co. reports a most satisfactory season. Business continues excellent at A. T. Boddington's and the year has surpassed all records of this progressive house. As usual, Harry Bunyard will do the honors for the firm at the convention. The peonies mentioned last week were grown by John Young, at his Bedford farm, and were as handsome as their pro- ducer. Next week the Greek-American florists celebrate their second annual outing, July 16, at Wetzel's Point, by steamer Isabel, from the same dock and at the same hour the Florists' Club found convenient. William Duckham was given a fare- well dinner, July 3, at one of the swell hotels, by his Masonic friends, of Madi- son, on the eve of his departure for Europe, Messrs. Herrington and Totty among the sendoflfers. J. R. Shields, of Dalton, Mass., gar- dener for F. G. Crane, left for Scot- land and other lands July 2, by steamer Celtic. Mr. Reidel, of A. J. Guttman 's, left July 1 for England and Germany, a trip generously given him as a Christmas present by his employer. Mr. Hopkins, bookkeeper for Mr. Guttman, is enjoying his vacation at his old home in Port- land, Me. Michael Ford, of Ford Bros., is away for a July in the mountains. Charles McCauley, of Washington, was a recent caller. He thinks Washington bowlers will give a good account of themselves at Buffalg. P. H. Goodsell has decided to try the nursery business on his own account, with an office at 200 Broadway. He has had considerable experience, having been with Mr. Kelsey for ten years. Mr. Reed, of Reed & Keller, has pur- chased a home at Hackensack, N. J. The firm will have a large exhibit at Niagara Falls, under the personal atten- tion of Mr. Reed. Bowling.

The point is that the retailers let the whole- salers take the risk of carrying stock. The retailer buys in the morning no more than he is absolutely sure he will need and, if be gets a run of business, the buyer comes back to the market two, three or four times during the day. A. Lang is now doing business at his new location, at 44 Madison street, where he has a considerably larger store. New fixtures will not be in place until toward fall. The A. L. Bandall Co. is preparing to issue a new and enlarged catalogue at the time fall trade opens. Clifford Pruner, who travels for E. H. Hunt, is at home from his spring trip. He says the sales of fertilizers, insecti- cides, hose and other growers' supplies were surprisingly good right up to July 1. C. M. Dickinson and family left July 7 for an outing at Pelican Lake, Wis. Bassett & Washburn do the majority of the regular retail trade in Hinsdale and Sunday, July 5, had a big funeral order. At Calvary cemetery $7,000 is being invested in new glass. The George Wittbold Co. is already planning rebuilding operations for next season.

The Market. SOUTH BEND, IND. The St. Joseph Loan & Trust Co. states that June 2 it was appointed re- ceiver for the South Bend Floral Co. and that it is anxious to sell the green- house establishment. It appears to be a friendly proceed- ing and creditors are not worrying, as they rely on the reputation of the Stude- bakers and expect to be paid in full. No statement of liabilities or assets has been received by creditors. Clem W. Studebaker is president of the South Bend Floral Co. and Wm. Studebaker secretary. John M. Studebaker is presi- dent of the St. Joseph Loan & Trust Co., the receiver. Irving Gingrich, who married one of the Studebaker girls, is treasurer and manager of the South Bend Floral Co. and has appeared to be making a success of the business. A few months ago they bought out the store of Treanor & Ret- tic, Charles M. Treanor becoming store manager for the South Bend Floral Co. Mr. Rettic continued in business on his own account. Marquette, Mich. — T. M. Sorenson is the proprietor of the Stafford Green- houses. To mention the cut flower business with the thermometer at 90 degrees in the shade seems a little out of place, and really there is not much business. How- ever, stock is fine for this time of the year and one can get all the Beauties, Kaiserin and Killarney roses he wants, and exceptionally good stock at that. Lilies could not be finer, and these, with good peas, valley and cattleyas, make it perfectly safe for the retailer to ac- cept any trade he may find. The retail stores look somewhat de- serted, as many of the clerks are away on vacation and there are not many cus- tomers to help keep up life. The growers are now getting their houses in shape for carnation planting. While the prices the past season were not all that could be desired, they are all hopeful of renewed prosperity and are getting ready for it. Various Notes. T. P. Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., has moved to his bungalow at Allison Park.

The RJiins: Eastern Market. Conditions in the cut flower market are fair, for midsumnjer. There is a de- cided demand for good flowers at times, with hardly enough really choice stock to meet this demand. The intense heat seriously affects all flowers. Beauties, valley, orchids, Kaiserin and Kill^rney are the mainstays for quality orders. Shasta daisies of excellent quality have been a factor during the last week. Gladioli have made their appearance. As- ters are slowly increasing in number. Sweet peas are quite knocked out by the rain and heat for the time being. Au- ratum lilies have replaced candidum. Summer flowers are more plentiful. Reviewing the Season. The season of 1907-8 closed Tues- day, June 30. July and August of 1907 were fully equal to the same months in previous years, in many cases a little ahead. September was not wholly satis- factory, the large increase in the quan- tity of dahlias planted for cut flowers be- ing more than the market could stand. Though there was excellent demand, all flowers were low in price and in over- supply. The early part of October saw great activity in the cut flower market, with indications that the demand would be larger than in any previous year. This hope was not fulfilled, the market falling off noticeably in the end of October, ow- ing, it was said, to the financial crisis, possibly assisted by the immense addi> tions of the glass area supplying this market, and became decidedly worse in November. Chrysanthemums brought far less than usual prices. December saw slight improvement, but the month was behind that of the year before. At Christmas fair prices were realized, con- tinuing below that of the high water mark of the previous year, though fully equal to the prices of a few years ago. January and February, usually months of short supply, found the demand hard- ly equal to the supply, which was larger than in any previous winter; bulbous flowers were particularly overdone. Con- ditions became worse in the spring, it being evident that the middle classes were not buying as freely as usual. The Wire Stakes Na. II tteel Wire, SiI*imzc<- 2 foot 2»2 •' . 3 " 3I2 " .

Easter was again the greatest floral fes- tival, but here, also, the supply exceeded the demand in many cases. Easter lilies were the principal sufferers. Since Easter the waste of white and poorer stock has been enormous. The advent of extreme heat early in the season cur- tailed the production of salable flowers during May and June. The market in these months occasionally made decided spurts, but prices were never equal to the extremely high prices prevalent in the corresponding months of last year. Those who have made money in the last year have done so by virtue of the qual- ity of their stock, if they be growers, or by their business sagacity, if they be wholesalers, or by all-round ability, if they be retailers. The supply houses, and Philadelphia boasts two of the most successful in the United States, state frankly that the success they have achieved this year would not have been theirs without extra effort, but that they have had an ex- cellent year. The seed houses and our leading plantsmen state that the year has been satisfactory when general business conditions are considered; in fact, it is stated that seeds and plants have suf- fered less than the average industry. The Detroit Qjovention. Three Philadelphia seedsmen attended the seedsmen's convention at Detroit. They were George H. Atkinson, with Walter P. Stokes; Edward Dungan, with William Henry Maule, and Howard M. Earl, with W. Atlee Burpee & Co. When asked by your correspondent about the convention Mr. Atkinson spoke with pleasure of the courtesy shown in the convention, the business accomplished and the general good feeling that prevailed. Mr. Atkinson described the visit to the - July 9, 1908.

Ferry & Co., the largest trial grounds he had ever seen, where there were 750 lots of edible peas in cultivation, and neatness and order were seen everywhere. The banquet and the excursion tendered to the seedsmen by Ferry & Co. were also subjects of fa- vorable comment. In closing, Mr. Atkinson humorously described one of the toastmaster 's anec- dotes at the banquet, a hit at Philadel- phia: "One man asserts to another that he can name the city from whence each man comes — this hustler comes from Chi- cago ; that prosperous looking chap, from New York; that man of culture, from Boston; that fellow over there, from Philadelphia. *Oh no,' the last named man objects, *I am not from Philadel- phia. I have been ill for three weeks. ' ' ' Never mind, Philadelphia gets there; in good tipie, too. The Planting of Winsor. It is a generally admitted fact that the pink carnation Winsor is the best commercial variety in its class today and that this variety does best when planted out in the houses from pots in the be- ginning of the season; that is, it is not planted in the field at all. The confidence felt in Winsor is shown by the numbers known to be benched by a few of the carnation growers. Henry Weiss & Son have 8,000 at Hatboro. Edward A. Stroud has nearly as many at Strafford; so also have A. Harvey & Sons at Bran- dywine Summit. These are merely taken as examples, to show the drift of the times. Trial Grounds. Every Review reader knows that Henry A. Dreer has the finest place in America, at Riverton, N. J., and an- other big farm a few miles farther off. but not everybody knows that the com- pany has a trial ground at Palmyra, N. J., adjoining the home of the secre- tary, J. Otto Thilow, these grounds cov- ering about one acre and devoted to test- ing vegetable seeds and growing them to maturity. The objects of the tests are to see that each variety is true to name and description and that it is worthy of a place in the garden.

I suppose business is about as good as can be expected at this time of the year, but at that it is pretty bad. There is still a good deal of stock coming in, but the quality of it is so poor that it is hard to move it even at a low price. Roses are plentiful and the best of them are selling well, but by far the greater portion of them cannot be moved at all, as they are practically worthless. Car- nations are about out of the market. There is a lively demand for white ones and good dark pink also go well, but it seems as if no one wants Enchantress when the weather is warm. They lose their keeping quality then, and they have a strong inclination to burn. The hot weather has about run the sweet peas out. They are so short-stemmed that they are scarcely of any use. Outdoor stock of various kinds is in good supply and sells fairly well. Some fine gladi- oli are coming and they go well. Asters JuLT 9, 1908.

F. to meet here in 1909. The meeting was highly success- ful and resulted in the league extending its hearty support, both morally and financially, which more than ever gvtar- antees that if the S. A. F. decides to come to this city in 1909 we will be in a po- sition to give them a great welcome and a convention that will go down in his- tory as one well fitting to be the twenty- fifth anniversary. For the S. A. F. was born in Cincinnati twenty-four years ago. From all indications, the society meet- ing called for July 11 will be well at- tended. There is more enthusiasm abroad in the society now than there has been for many years. It is expected that many new mergers will be taken in and, with th^ business that will come before this meetiAg, it will be well worth while for all the members to make an extra effort to be present. Various Notes. The wholesale houses arc nbw closing at 5 p. m. during the months of July and August, and there is a movement on foot to close at noon on Saturdays. It is to be hoped that thi« will go through, as there is practically no business on Saturday afternoons and, for that mat- ter, there is next to nothing doing any afternoon. Ten o'clock sees the business ^or the day done at this time of the year. So it is just a question of keep- ing open the rest of the day so as not to get too used to loafing. D. Rusconi spent a few days in Day- ton, O., last week. J. A. Peterson expects to visit Chicago on a business trip soon. Charles Dieterich, of Maysville, Ky., was a visitor July 5, and Martin Reu- kauf dropped in July 6, on his way home after a nine weeks' trip through the west, touching California points. C. J. Ohmeb.

MiTTiNG, Santa Cruz, Cal., shipped his first car of calla bulbs this season June 28. The crop prospects are not so good as they were in the grain states, especially the corn states. The corn for seed, both sweet and field varieties, was planted late iu Ohio, but is making a good start. If any seedsmen feel dissatisfied with the business done in the past season, thus far no one has been found to admit it. The boat from Bermuda due to arrive at New York July 10 is expected to bring the first of the season's crop of Harrisii lily bulbs. W. Atlee Burpee has returned from a two months' European trip and is pre- paring to get busy on his annual task of catalogue building. ScHLAEPER & Owcheek, Cleveland, O., are opening a new flower store at 7403 Dunser avenue, and state that they wUl make a specialty of imported seeds and bulbs.

On the protest of the Barteldes Seed Co., LawTence, Kan., the Board of Gen- eral Appraisers has held certain impor- tations to be free of customs duty under paragraph 656, tariff act of 1897, as mangel wurzel and sugar beet seeds. The Clucas & Boddington Co. affairs will be closed up July 25, at 10:30 a. m., when the final accounting of F. H. Henry, assignee, will be approved unless objec- tion be filed with Gilbert H. Montague, referee, 32 Nassau street, New York. « From a large number of reports it appears that corn is doing better in Iowa than in Illinois or Indiana. The crop is from one to three weeks late, and acreage is likely to be less than last year, owing to damage to low lands from too much rain. The majority of reports, howevei, say the crop looks well, espe- cially on high lands, and has lately been making quick growth. Charles D. Woods, director of the Maine Experiment Station, upon whom devolves the enforcement of that state's many inspection laws, says that "since the middle of April the deputy has de- voted the most of his time to collecting samples of seeds. It is gratifying to find that nearly all of the grass seeds which are being sold are named and guaranteed in accord with law. Only a few of the samples have as yet been analyzed, but they are for the most part running well up to guaranty. Both the spirit and the letter of the Maine inspection laws de- mand truthful labeling." LEONARD SEED CO.

Referring to the condition of seed crops in California July 2, Waldo Roh- nert wrote : "Onion still is holding out quite well. While conditions have not improved to any great extent the last month, yet we are that much nearer the harvest, which is only one month off. The warm wave of June 22 to 27 seems to have done no injury. "Sweet peas and radish were cut rather short by the hot wave. There will probably be a fifty per cent crop of sweet peas, while radish will be much below the average. "Lettuce is only developing small seed stocks and no doubt much of the seed will be light and hard to save in the cleaners. ' ' SOUTHERN SEED CROPS. We give in brief the prospects of a few southern seed crops as we see the situation at present: Collard — The crop of these has already been harvested, most of them marketed. The crop was above the average, the quality of seed good, and prices ought to rule lower than last year.

The yield was probably larger than last year, but was damaged some- what, owing to excessive rains at the time the seed was harvested. But there is a good supply, and there will be enough to go around. Okra — This crop is looking well, and the prospects are good for a big yield. But it is impossible to tell much about it this early in the season, because this is a crop that grows on till fall frost. Watermelon — In some sections of the south the dry weather has ruined the melon crop, but in all sections where they have had abundance of rain the crops are unusually good, and the seed crop will undoubtedly be up to the average, with the quality better.

Asparagus — Asparagus has made splen- did crop, except in some few places, where dry weather has injured it. But there will doubtless be a full crop when it is all in. Pearl Millet — The crop of this bids fair to be an average one, but has suf- fered in some places for want of rain. But unless something serious overtakes it, we expect an average crop. Chufaa — The crop of these is much better than usual and we look for a plentiful supply, with better quality than usual. Amzi Godden Seed Co. WATSON S. VOODRUFF. Watson S. Woodruff, the newly elected president of the American Seed Trade Association, whose portrait adorned page 28 of last week's Keview, was born at Orange, Conn., April 8, 1869. His father. Stiles D. Woodruff, was one of the pio- neer seed growers of Connecticut, start- ing in the seed growing business on his return from the Civil War in 18G5. The son was graduated from the New Haven high school in 1889, shortly after which he went actively into the seed business, associating himself with his father, Stiles D. Woodruff, and his brother, Frank C. Woodruff, under the firm name of S. D. Woodruff & Sons. He mar- ried, January 4, 1893, Harriet Hotchkiss, and to them five children have been born, three girls and two boys, all of whom are living. Stiles D. Woodruff died in April, 1906. The present firm of S. D. Woodruff & Sons is made up of Frank C. Woodruff and Watson S. Woodruff. The firm makes a specialty of market gar- deners' seeds and does a large growing and wholesale business as well. The firm operates at Orange, Conn., and 82 Dey street, New York City, with a branch also at Queens, L. I. ON THE EAST COAST. A well-known observer speaks as fol- lows of conditions in southern New Jer- sey, Delaware and Maryland: ' ' The weather has been exceedingly hot and dry, unusually so for the month of June. Tomato plants are not thriv- ing to best advantage on this account. It is necessary to have frequent rains during the early resetting season, so as to give the plants the proper start. As a result considerable complaint can be reported for tomatoes, as well as unu- sual exception to weather conditions as far as corn is concerned. Cutworms have damaged the com crop considerably. One grower reports as having had to re- plant 120 acres. It is impossible to determine just why corn has not ger- minated as it should this season, but the principal reason seems to be on ac- count of the weather conditions when this seed was being saved last fall. ' ' THE BUSINESS YEAR. In his address, as president, to the American Seed Trade Association at the Detroit convention, George S. Green said: "We meet at the end of a business year of unusual stress and uncertainty, during which the country has had a serious setback to the prosperity of the last few years. Such a year always brings new problems to be met and new difficulties to be surmounted. These problems and difficulties test the tem- per of the man and, when conquered, usually leave him with a new store of ex- perience and knowledge with which to meet future tasks. "We are all still doing business, no financial disaster among our member- ship having come to my knowledge. This is evidence of the permanent character of our trade and of the average ability ■r-'-.T:--- ■4". 26 The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 9, 1908. and prudence of our members. I con- gratulate you upon this showing and I hope the coming year may prove less trying. "I trust the efforts which have been made to improve the currency and bank- ing system of our country may insure more stable conditions, so that the busi- ness man may suffer only for his own blunders and not for those of others. "Tight money last fall undoubtedly hampered the operations of our trade and if the recent currency legislation shall prove effective in preventing such con- ditions in future, we shall have at least that much for which to thank our na- tional lawmakers. "Notwithstanding the unsettled finan- cial conditions, the past year has been reasonably satisfactory to most houses in the trade. The total volume of busi- ness has been large and prices have ruled unusually high on many staple ar- ticles in the seed line. The demand for high grade goods continues to increase and there has never been a time when a well earned reputation for furnishing seeds of first-class quality was more valuable than it is today." "PRICE GUARANTEED.'* A sells to B a lot of bulbs for future delivery. The acceptance of the order reads, ' ' Price guaranteed. ' ' B later finds that he can buy the same or a better grade at much less. B offers to accept the stock at the market price. -A de- clines to make any reduction, claiming that "price guaranteed" simply applies to his own prices. This point was not covered in the order. B claims that had such been A's thought the agreement should have read, "Price guaranteed against my own decline. ' ' Who is cor- rect? J. S. T. The agreement ought always to show the extent of the guaranty in a case of this kind. If the contract is silent, and there is no well established trade usage to explain the words, the guaranty will probably be held to extend no further than to the seller 's own prices. A con- tract of guaranty is to be strictly con- strued in favor of the guarantor. If B claims that A should have made the guaranty read, * * Price guaranteed against my own decline," A may as well claim that B should have insisted upon having it read, ' ' Price guaranteed against decline by any seller." Inas- much as there is a doubt as to the mean- ing, the courts, if the usual practice is followed, will give the phrase no broader interpretation than is necessary to pro- tect the buyer against any price made by the guarantor himself. SEED FARMS OF ESSEX. A party of sixty Hungarian farmers have been touring England under the auspices of the Royal Agricultural So- ciety and spent a day inspecting the seed farms of Essex. The route took the party past the seed farms of E. W. King & Co., and the first halt was to inspect a 5-acre field of sweet peas in full bloom, these having been planted in the autumn. Passing the warehouses, offices and trial grounds of King & Co., the party went through the town of Coggeshall and next came to Dobbie & Co., where the party were welcomed by Mr. Cuthbertson and were delighted by a brilliant show of Spanish iris, sweet peas and Scotch violas, all of which were ■□HDHnanHnaDinaaHa ■naaanHDHDHDHnMaHn ■DHaHDiDHnHDHnHna ■ n n ■ □ ■ D H □ ■ □ ■ ■ D D M n H a ■ a ■ n H □ ■ D H n ■ D ■ a u n n n u m^ COLD STORAGE 1 LILIIM SPECIOSUMS and AURATUMS Potted in July, will flower for Christmas.

These bulbs have been grown from the original pure Harrlsii, and will be found to be splendid stock for early forcing, for which pur- pose Harrlsii is so valuable. We have had the stock inspected, and are assured that it is almost absolutely pure and almost entirely free from disease. This is not stock picked up indiscriminately from differ- ent sources, but is grown from one stock and will be found very supe- rior to the ordinary Harrlsii usually offered, both in regard to free- dom from disease and purity, and not the late type now so often furnished. Llllum Harrlsii has been deteriorating slowly for years, and in order to get back to the true type of the original Harrlsii. we have had our stock grown from tt^ original pure stock and it will be found very superior to the LiliuiM Harrlsii usually offered. While the stock is A-No. 1, our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices asked for indifferent stock. We have only a limited quantity of this stock to offer, so it will be advisable to place orders without delay in order to insure securing this stock.

Moss, where hundreds of acres of seed were seen growing. The next halt was at the trial grounds of Hurst & Sons, the visitors being shown round by Mr. Sher- wood, head of the firm. Luncheon at Church House Farm came next. After the royal toasts had been responded to, M. Schillassy spoke in flattering terms of what his compatriots had seen in Essex, which was something they had not seen in their own country, and concluded by proposing the health of Mr. King, Mr. Cuthbertson, Mr. Sher- wood and Mr. Moss, who had shown them their excellent farms. These gentlemen replied in appropriate terms, remark- ing that "Essex is the best place in the world for growing seeds." DUTCH BULB TRADE. Consul-General S. Listoe, of Rotter- diam, makes the following interesting statements in regard to the rapidly grow- ing Dutch bulb trade : An industry characteristic of the Netherlands is the raising of tulip and hyacinth bulbs. Attempts have been made in several parts of the world to grow these, but nowhere can the experi- ment be said to have been successful, as the proper kind of soil for the propaga- tion of perfect bulbs seems only to exislf in the small space of territory between the cities of Leyden and Haarlem. This stretch of country is in reality the bot- tom of the old Haarlem Sea (Haarlem- mer Meer), which was laid dry about the year 1852, and this sea-bottom dirt, a combination of sand and decomposed vegetables and plants, appears to be the only soil capable of producing the flower bulbs mentioned. These bulbs are therefore exported to all parts of the world, the United States taking its full share; the demand is con- stantly increasing, and in consequence of this fact an increased area is from year to year set apart and devoted solely to the cultivation of bulbs.

The exports of bulbs and bulbous roots from the Netherlands in 1907 amounted to 33,610,280 pounds, of which 6,214,120 pounds, valued at $531,098, went to the United States. In 1906 the total ex- ports were 26,180,000 pounds, the ship- ments to the United States being 5,098,- 940 pounds of a declared value of $536,- 242; the relative figures in 1905 were 25,640,340 pounds total, and 4,413,640 pounds, worth $417,611, to the United States. The best customer for the tulip and hyacinth bulbs of the Netherlands is the United Kingdom, which purchased 13,- 950,200 pounds in 1907. Germany and Austria together bought 8,728,720 pounds, Norway, Sweden and Denmark 2,307,360 pounds, and Russia 793,100 pounds. As an indication of the growth of this branch of Dutch agriculture, and as a demonstration of the regular increase in the demand for Dutch bulbs, it may be stated that the exports in 1897 were only 12,543,955 pounds. The advance since that time has averaged over 2,000,000 pounds a year.

These facts were the cause: Even the most respectable firms over here were unconsciously duped by the unscru- pulous agriculturer, who, having in stock a quantity of worthless and valueless onion seeds, left over from the preceding crop, willfully mixed it up with fresh seeds, palming the whole stuff onto the bona fide Teneriffe exporter as 'all quite fresh and true to name.' There are few seedsmen in America who in years past have not had some trouble on this score. "The blame is partly due unawares to American seedsmen, and partly to the exporters on this side, who have not di- rected the onion seed trade on a proper, practical and sound businesslike basis. "The remedy is quite easy: First, not to buy at random from large or small agriculturers in this island, al- ways more or less apt to mystify the seeds; second, to insist, and always in- sist, with seedsmen and dealers in the United States to place their likely re- quirements one year in advance. It is no use buying Teneriffe Bermuda onion seeds at the last moment. "Common sense will tell you that my statements are sound in every respect, and particularly so at a time when seeds- men require full protection on foreign seeds, now more than ever."

ST. LOUIS. The Market Among the retailers the business last week was reported as fairly good, the principal work being for funerals. Other work for weddings, school commence- ments, receptions and dinners has slack- ened up greatly and for the next two months the retailers will have to content themselves with what funeral work comes in. The weather has become hot and sum- mer has set in for good and the help around the stores can, one by one, take vacations until the middle of August in order to let the boss off for the S. A. F. convention. The wholesalers also are feeling the effects of the hot weather and stock continues to be of poor qual- ity. Roses of all kinds are soft and off color. Beauties are holding up best in the rose line. Carnations are becoming scarce and the few that come in are small, though the -demand has been quite good for these. Sweet peas are look- ing better, but are short in stem. Gladi- oli are selling well, but all other out- door flowers are in slow demand. All greens are abundant. Variout Notes.

He says he will be on hand for the ball game, July 15, at the florists' picnic. During the celebration of the Fourth a balloon fell on Charles Juengel's greenhouses, causing $25 damage. Promptness saved the destruction of the plant. From present indications there will be few from here to attend the S. A. F. convention at Niagara Falls this year.

The forcing of mushrooms during the winter months has attained large pro- portions in this country. The business has, until recently, been extremely prof- itable, fancy prices being paid for the finished product during the social sea- son. Gradually the market has broad- ened and prices have had a lower tend- ency. The demand for spawn has in- creased, more than keeping pace with the supply of the first quality, some of the spawn producing a mixture of varie- ties, some of which are not. equal to the market requirements. To meet this want the Anglo-American Spawn Co., of Kennett Square, Pa., was formed. The company claims that it perfected a process by which the spawn taken from mushroom spores at the proper moment can be delivered to the mushroom grower in a state of perfec- tion. This spawn, they say, will come absolutely true to variety and will yield large crops. The members of the Anglo- American Mushroom Co. are J. B. Swayne and Hugh Gardiner. Their plant is at Kennett Square, Chester county, Pennsylvania. A visit to the new com- pany's place a few days ago was full of interest. Both Mr. Swayne and Mr. Gardiner were hard at work making mushroom spawn. The process, as ex- plained by Mr. Swayne, consists in plac- ing the composition containing the spores in molds about 6x9 inches. These molds are laid on the floor of a green- house, side by side, with the flat side uppermost. When sufficiently hardened, in from twenty-four to forty-eight hours, the composition is taken out of the mold and placed on its side. When fur- ther dried the bricks of mushroom spawn are removed to a building where they are not exposed to direct sunlight and further treated. The bricks are ready for the market in from six to eight weeks, when they are packed in boxes and sent out as required. Mr. Gardiner exhibited a cartload of these mushroom spawn bricks, pointing out the numer- ous white, threadlike lines running throughout, indicating, he said, a high degree of fertility. When asked regard- ing his confidence in this mushroom, Mr. Swayne said that he had tested it fully in his mushroom houses last season and that he would use no other spawn in his nineteen houses this season. The accom- panying illustrations will give some idea of the drying process and the final product. There is also a picture of a bed of mushrooms grown from the Anglo-American spawn. Phil. THE SWEET POTATO. The sweet potato is at least one-third more nourishing than the Irish potato, and outyields the latter with but little more care. No bugs bother the vines. 34 The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 9, 1908. In southern states it is a staple and the National Council of Horticulture says that in the northern states it should be. Good garden soil, not over rich and a trifle sandy, makes the ideal spot for the plants. Prepare the ground next Novem- ber for the spring of 1909 by plowing it deep; in the spring as soon as the frost is out of the ground anu the lat- ter is dry it should be thoroughly har- rowed. While it is customary to ridge the ground and plant in the ridges, many sec- cessful growers plant on the level. Set the plants in rows three and a half feet apart and about fifteen inches apart in the rows, using a little water with each plant if the soil is dry. If the ground has become compact from successive rains before planting time it should be plowed again. The best time to set out plants is on a rainy day or just before a rain. The season has a great deal to do with the quality of the crop. In ex- tremely wet weather the quality is not as good as when rains are less frequent and not heavy. The Yellow Jersey is the standard va- riety for the main crop. The Ked Jersey is equally good, but the color is not so popular. The Early Florida is excellent for an early crop for home use. In a good season specimens of three to four pounds are common. Many florists already do considerable business in supplying sweet potato plants, the same as tomato and other vegetable plants, and the trade in these is con- stantly growing.

Florists* Review When Wrltins: Advertisers 40 The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 9, 1908. PACIFIC COAST. Portland, Ore. — For the third con- secutive year William S. Sibson, propri- etor of the Sibson Rose Nurseries, acted as judge at the rose show of the Belling- hani Kosarians, held at Bellingham, Wash., June 24 and 25. The exhibits comprised twenty-four classes, each of which was numerously and closely con- tested. ' The National Apple Show Association, of Spokane, Wash., of which Harry J. Neely is secretary and manager, purposes awarding an apple, molded of virgin gold, dug out of the hills in the Spokane country, to the grower showing the most beautiful specimen of fruit at its first annual exhibition in Spokane, December 7 to 12. Modern history contains no ref- ence to a similar award and for this rea- son, in addition to the intrinsic value of the trophy, it is believed the announce- ment of a prize of a golden apple will be the means of bringing to the Spokane show the best specimens of the skill of the foremost growers, not only in America but from various parts of Eu- rope, as well as buyers from the orient and the islands and other countries. RETAIL TRADE IN PLANTS. The handling of hardy annuals by the florists of the Pacific coast has become one of the features of the business and is becoming more and more noticeable each season. A few years ago many re- tailers looked askance at anything out- side of cut flowers and only made a deviation from the straight and narrow path around Christmas time, when a few potted palms or flowering plants were displayed. Gradually these were used in a decorative way at first, and then little by little the assortment was in- creased, until many retailers now devote half their store and window space to the showing of plants in pots. The public quickly got accustomed to looking for such material in the shops instead of .making a journey to the greenhouses, and then acquired the further habit of asking for hardy plants as well, especially in the spring and early summer. Bulbs, too, began to have a ready sale, and the fact that they took up but little room, were easy to handle and paid a fair profit for handling, made them popular with the retailers. For the last two seasons annuals in small pots and flats have been extensive- ly sold by many stores, and, now that customers have gotten into the habit of looking for them, they have opened up a way whereby the retailer can add largely to his receipts and add to his reputation of being up-to-date. Some stores object to having articles of this kind around, as they need some attention and a slight knowledge of plants to handle them properly. They are closely allied to the business, how- ever, and many an otherwise light day's sales has been heavily augmented by dis- posing of a few hundred annuals. G. SAN FRANCISCO.

Business, although not lively, is much better than it was a couple of weeks ago, and the continued cool weather seems to have the effect of keeping many people in town who would, under or- dinary conditions, seek the seashore or the mountains. Roses are scarce, with the exception of second quality stock, and this is plen- tiful enough and can be had at any price.

Sweet peas continue to be the best of the outside flowers for the florist to handle, and they cost the stores about 50 cents per dozen bunches. The grow- ers, who, by the way, are principally Chinese, are to be congratulated on the quality of flowers produced this year. Pacific Nsraerlet SU41 Baker St. J0LT 0, 1908.

TTestern Union Code This is largely due to the favorable cli- matic conditions, and as a consequence the demand for them is heavier than ever before. Colored gladioli are being used largely in decorations and have proven good sell- ers. Other kinds of outside stock are used to fill in and can be had at almost any price. A few early asters are seen, but the bulk of the crop will not ap- pear before next month. Valley moves slowly, as also does Lilium longiflorum. Over in Oakland the retailers com- plain of the usual summer dullness, with an ocasional sprinkling of funeral pieces and once in a while a wedding order. Various Notes. P. Von Linger, of the Holland Nursery Co., is on a two months' trip to Hol- land. The Pacific Floral Co. has opened a retail store on University avenue, Ber- keley, Cal. D. J. Huston, of Dietrich & Huston, Los Angeles, passed through San Fran- cisco on his way to Seattle during the present week. George D. Marble is on a two months' vacation in the northern part of the state. Word has been received from Ahwah- nee, Madera county, California, of the death of Alexander Craw, formerly state deputy commissioner of horticulture. He was well and favorably known by all the horticulturists on this coast and had only recently retired to take a well earned rest in the neighborhood of Yosemite Val- ley, in the hope of regaining his health. Mr, Craw was distinguished particularly for the part he played in the long fight that resulted in the discovery of bene- ficial insects for the destruction of scale in orange orchards, which threatened on several occasions to completely wipe out that industry in California. G. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market The summer dullness is camping with us and we may expect this order of things for a few weeks at least. June has taken its departure, after making a fairly good showing. There was a heavy sprin- kling of wedding orders, which came as a relief after so much funeral work the preceding month. It is generally admitted that the season just ended was a profitable one, with collections good. The . cut flower market is well supplied with a splendid assort- ment. Indoor grown roses and carna- tions are still showing a healthy growth, but prices are not so firm as a year ago. Sweet peas and snapdragons, such as grown in the northwest, would be hard to beat anywhere and we have plenty of them of the richest colors. Added to Canada^s Florist 96 Yonge St>, TORONTO WILLIAM J.

Putting a few questions to the plants- men, we were told that, although most of them had sold out, the sales in the ag- gregate did not average any better than last year. Variottt Notes. The first asters were shipped in by Henry Clemmens, of Newberg, June 25, arriving in good season to salute that other good commercial flower, Lilium auratum. It is rumored that there will be many changes here before fall, but details are lacking, so we cannot confirm the reports at this writing. That good salesman, Martin Beukauf, was here last week and told us that he was having a most prosperous trip. We were also glad to meet W. C.

T.; Treas., C. L. Yates, Kochester. N. Y. The 84th annual nonventioD will De held at Ro- chester, June, 1909. C. W. Stuart, Newark, N. Y., met with a bad fall June 25, when a runaway horse collided with the buggy in which Mr. Stuart was riding. His collar bone and two ribs on the left side were broken. Thkre are in the United States about twenty-five kinds of nut-bearing trees which are notable for their beauty as well as their valuable products, not only of food, but of the high priced timber thev furnish as well. A NURSERY firm at Nice, France, re- cently organized a grafting competition for workmen in the district. Each com- petitor was allotted so many rows of stocks and bundles of scions to corre- spond, the prize8j.g9ipg to the operator who put on the largest number of grafts successfully in a given time. Sufficient interval was allowed between the compe- tition and the awarding of prizes to en- able the judges to see which grafts were alive, no allowance being made for the unsuccessful ones. During a heavy thunder shower on the night of June 27 the immense barn of the Sherman Nursery Co., Charles City, la., was fired by a bolt of lightning. About twenty head of stock was in the bam at the time, besides the harness, etc. Five horses and three mules were burned and all other property. The building was totally destroyed. Loss on barn is $4,000, and $1,600 insurance was carried on the barn, grain, implements, etc. None of the horses was insured, and the total loss will be about $8,000. The building was of the most mod- em style and will be replaced at once. J. M. Buchanan, manager of the Whitesboro Fruit Co., Whitesboro, Tex., of which E. W. Kirkpatrick is president, says that they sprayed peach trees with a mixture of arsenate of lead in the pro- portion of three pounds of the lead to fifty gallons of Bordeaux mixture. It simply cooked the young peaches on the trees and did much injury to the trees. All of the leaves fell off and many of the smaller twigs died. Explaining it, he says : ' ' We had a flattering prospect for a large crop of peaches, but only had retained on the trees a few peaches. The trees that were left for experiment, to see what the effect was, had lost few of the fruits and matured well, considering the season. I doubt if the trees so treated will produce any fruit buds for next sea- son 's crop. We have had a wet season this year and the acting state entomolo- gist thinks thai this is somewhat the cause of the disaster. ' ' LATE FLOWERING LILACS. Can you give me the names of three or four varieties of lilacs which are late bloomers, so much so that in our Colo- rado climate the flower buds would not start development until May 1 ? H. L. W.

This year's peach crop in the south should go a long way toward insuring a demand for trees for next season. MOVING RHODODENDRONS. I am asked to transplant a large, fine rhododendron plant, probably ten or twelve years old, from one cemetery lot to another adjoining lot, to make room for a large monument, and they want it done within the next three or four weeks. Do you think I can undertake this job and have chances of saving the rhododen- dron for them? How would you advise me to do it? Should it be watered fre- quently after it has been transplanted I I tried to get them'^to wait until later to do the work, but they have let the con- tract for the monument work and also some florist told them that now, after blooming and before new growth begins, is undoubtedly the best time to do it. As I have never done it, I should like to have you give me some pointers regard- ing the work. M. L. It. While this is not by any means the ideal time for moving rhododendrons, there is no good reason why you cannot move the one you speak of successfully. The trouble in lifting such a plant so soon after blooming is that the shoots have not yet had time to mature and will be quite soft.. Still, with careful lifting, you can save even them. Tie up the plant. Strips of burlap are better for this purpose than twine. Open a circular trench two feet deep, five to six feet away from the stem. Then use a pick to loosen the remaining soil, taking care to save all possible roots. Gradually widen your trench and go a little deeper as you reach the main ball of the plant. Use a strong crowbar to loosen the ball. Save all the earth you possibly can on this. As you only have a short distance to move the plant, place it carefully either on a flat hand-barrow or use a couple of planks.

Have a first-class hole pre- pared. After getting your plant in its new position, fill in some soil, tampi«g it firmly so as to leave no open crevices. Then give a thorough soaking of water. Let this drain away before filling in the remaining compost. If the soil is dry, it will be better to soak the roots of the rhododendron be- fore lifting. This will be best accom- plished by using a draw-hoe to make a circular ridge three or four feet away from the center of the plant. Fill the saucer with water several times, to be sure the roots are well wetted. Choose, if possible, a cloudy day for the oper- ation. If a light rain falls the con- ditions will be ideal. Mulch well after planting. Additional waterings in dry weather and sprayings overhead will be beneficial. W. N. Craig. ■-• r 46 The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 9, 1908. TOLEDO, OHIO. State of Trade. Unless present plans miscarry, Toledo will be one perfect flower garden when the veterans of the Civil "War meet to hold their encampment here during the last days of August and the first part of September. A special effort is being put forth in all parts of the city to pre- pare an array of choice and beautiful flowers such as is seldom seen. Business among the florists is far from quiet in Toledo at this time, and the looked-for slump is not yet in evidence. An exceptional number of funerals have taxed the florists to their utmost during the last week. Sweet peas are abundant and fine. Various Notes. Miss Helen Patten is making prepa- rations for an extended stay at Atlantic City and New York. Miss Helmer will have charge of the business during her sojourn. Mrs. E. Suder worked out some pretty decorations at the Niagara hotel last week. An abundance of palms and cut flowers was used. Mrs. Freeman, designer for George Heinl, worked out a beautiful design, never before used in Toledo. It was a floral rug, used at the funeral of the son of a prominent business man. The rug was made out of pink and white sweet peas, with valley, and was placed under the casket. Noticeable among the offerings at the funeral of C. E. Braun, one of the best known citizens of Toledo, was a hand- some casket cover furnished by George Heinl and designed by Miss Freeman. It was made out of roses, lavender and white sweet peas, and white carnations. An empress wreath, of lavender swejl; peas with wide lavender ribbon, attract- ed considerable attention at another fu- neral. The design was by Miss Helen Patten. George Bayer is shipping some fine greenhouse tomatoes. Will Hagenberger, of Mentor, O., was a Sunday guest of Mrs. E. Suder. Milton Moore, park commissioner, is busy designing patriotic emblems for the publie grounds, to be used during the G. A. R. encampment in August. H. L. S. TARRYTOWN, N. Y. The regular monthly meeting of the Tarrytown Horticultural Society was held on Friday evening, June 26, with Presi- dent Angus in the chair. The executive committee had recom- mended, for life membership, Mrs. F. A. Constable, Mamaroneck, N. Y., and Mrs. K. E. Driscoll, Tarrytown, N. Y., as hon- orary members. They were duly elected. Also Frank Shaw, Elmsford, N. Y., was elected an active member, and five new nominations were received. A fine collection of cut flowers, shrubs and hardy perennials, all labeled, were staged by Frank L. Milne, gardener to E. K. Weatherbee, Mamaroneck, N. Y. They were awarded the prize offered for the evening, also a certificate of merit. The annual outing was on the program for the evening. The committee of last year, consisting of J. W. Smith, William Scott and L, A. Martin, was reappointed to arrange everything. They have se- lected Edwards Beach hotel, Rye Beach, N. Y., for August 4, 1908.

With plenty of funeral work, business for the end of June and the beginning of July, both locally and shipping, was good. Outdoor stock arrived in quantity and moved well; only Shasta daisies seemed to hang fire. The most of these could not be moved at any price and those that sold left a narrow margin for the grower after commission and ex- press charges were deducted. The de- mand for sweet peas was good, and they cleaned up as fast as they came in. Good carnations, which are scarce, sell at 2 cents; there are any amount of poor carnations coming in which really ought to be dumped at home. Not many Beauties are around nowa- days, but they expect the new crop in a short time. For some unaccountable reason, larkspur sold fine for July 4. Al- though only a few came in last week, it will not be long before the aster song will again be popular. Holton & Hunkel Co. says it never had such a good Fourth of July as this year; busy till noon. Adolph Fuchs, lately with Nic Zweifel, left June 29, after ""spending a few days visiting the big growers about Chicago, for Kirkwood, Mo., to accept the posi- tion as manager for the Oakland Floral Co. The place was vacated by his friend, Pierre Schneider. Herman Stebs, of Elm Grove, Wis., still cuts some good Beauties, which are consigned to C. C. Pollworth Co. With frequent showers, carnation stock in the field is looking good. With a light attendance, there was not much doing at the club meeting July 2. All BJeB^ot were in favor of having a picnic^ ^d the entertainment committee was instructed to make arrangements as to place, time, etc. E. O. COLUMBIA, MO. The horticultural department of the University of Missouri has just begun work on the erection of a new range of greenhouses. This summer only one house, 25x100 feet, will be erected. This will be attached to a frame structure about 25x60 feet, which is to serve the purpose of a class room and for general potting room work. It is the intention to add to this potting room several more houses similar to the one now under con- struction. There is an increasing need of green- house space among the various investi- gators in plant production, and this alone will demand the use of possibly three such houses as the one now being built. There is a growing demand, also, among the students taking work in horti- culture for instruction and practical work in the handling of general greenhouse crops. To meet these demands this in- stitution expects, in the next few years, to erect and maintain a fairly extensive range of houses devoted to vegetables and cut flowers. E. H. Favor.

The annual rose and flower show^ which also includes early vegetables, was held in the town hall Thursday after- noon, June 25. The exhibition was a creditable one, and many beautiful flow- ers were shown. The display from Miss Alice T. Bulkeley's Rosemere Gardens was one of the finest, there being many exquisite roses, with foxgloves, coreopsis, pansies, carnations, sweet-williams, lark- spurs and many other kinds. From Fernwood there was also a large and beautiful display of many of the same kinds of flowers. In the vegetable line the display from Whitehall, Alain C. White's place, was probably the finest. Mr. Putnam, of the Fernwood, also had a fine exhibit. His tomatoes, beets, cauliflower and straw- berries were splendid specimens. Will- iam Wilson's collection from Mrs. Van- derpoel's garden was excellent, his peas being especially fine. Others who sent were W, S. Walcott, of Elms Farms; Francis M. Coe, from Cloverdale; Elm Bidge farm, and Forked Chimneys, Sey- mour Cunningham 's place. OGDEN, UTAH. At the great "Four-County Fair," which will be held here September 30 to October 3, inclusive, there will be de- partments for exhibits in flowers, plants, seeds, vegetables and other horticultural products. Gold medals and cash prizes will be awarded. The four counties that are uniting in this contest are Box Elder, Davis, Morgan and Weber. The man- agers advertise that "the exhibition will be bigger than the state fair. ' ' Premium lists and all necessary information may be obtained by addressing the Four- County Fair, Ogden, Utah. Danbxjry, Conn. — T. H. Judd and his landscape gardener, William Butt, have been doing extensive landscape work on the grounds surrounding Mark Twain's new villa in Redding. Sturgis, Mich. — Albert Richter says trade this year has been fine, not at all aflfected by the so-called panic. His place was struck by hail May 16 and a large part of the glass broken ; otherwise it has been by far his most fortunate season. Jackson, Tenn. — T. L. Metcalfe, who has his headquarters at Hopkinsville, Ky., with greenhouses also at several points in Kentucky and Tennessee, will erect a greenhouse here. He has leased the vacant Bond property, at the corner of Baltimore and Church streets, and will build a house 26x80. The oflice will face on Baltimore street and will be of brick and glass. Mr. Metcalfe has had a branch oflice here for several months. ORCHIDS Arrived in fine condition, Cattleya Mossisp, C. Perclvaliana, C. SchroederaB, C. Trianae. C. labi- ata. Gigas Sanderiana. C.

Each plant is carefully selected, color, size, form and substance being taken into considera- tion, and the proportion of each color is prop- erly balanced. As a result of over 25 years' work along these lines, we feel Justified in claiming to have the best strain of pansies on the market, and we Invite trial and comparison. Gtowing our stock in this manner, we have only a limited amount of seed to spare, and in order to distribute as widely as possible, we offer it in packets of 1000 seeds. Price $1.00 per packet (only one to each customer). I. E. COBURN, 291 Ferry St., Everett, Mass. BUCKBEE'S FULL OF LIFE FLOWER SEEDS.

THE READERS' CXDRNER. Flat-ctenuned Foxgloves. The abnormally flat form of the digi- talis represents a not unusual case of what is termed fasciation, or the flatten- ing of one or more stems. It sometimes appears in lilies, especially on very strong bulbs of L. auratum. and gener- ally produces more flowers than the nor- mal form. It does not reproduce itself from seed, nor is it apt to show itself in the next season's growth. W. C. Egan. PLEASE MENTION THE REVJKW WHEN WRITING ANY OF THESE ADVERTISERS. JtJLt 9, 1908.

BURNERS FOR NATURAL GAS. A high pressure line of gas main runs along the front of my place and I have decided to use gas as fuel for my green- houses, but I am at a loss what kind of burners to use. I went to see two of our gas fitting firms in town and one sug- gested open burners, six in each fire-box; the other one just the contrary, a burn- er where the gas will have to burn through broken firebricks.

The air take of the mixer is adjustable so that the draught can be regulated. The burner is usually a home- made affair, consisting of a piece of 2- inch pipe about ten inches long threaded at both ends, one end screwed into the mixer, the other capped. Around the side of the cap drill about six %-inch holes, and then drill fifteen holes in three tiers, one above the other, in the 2-inch pipe large enough to be threaded for %-inch gas pipe. Arrange the holes so that they miss-match. Screw a nip- ple of %-inch pipe into each opening, making the lower circle of nipples about seven inches long, the next row about five inches long and the top row or those just below the cap about three inches long. This will provide a burner, which is economical of fuel and one capable of supplying great heat.

This can be done easily with a common twist drill and a carpenter's brace. NATURAL GAS. Will you please give us your opinion as to which is the cheaper fuel, natural gas at 15 cents per thousand feet or Pittsburg ruh of mine coal at $2.50 per ton? J. D. You can judge for yourself which will be most economical for you. It is esti- mated that 30,000 cubic feet of gas is equal to one ton of the best coal, or that coal at $4.50 per ton is equal to gas at 15 cents per thousand. You must set against this the cost of firing, remov- ing ashes, etc., which is chargeable to coal and net to gas. PIPING AND VALVES. Will you kindly tell me how many 3-inch flows and how many 2-inch re- turns are necessary to heat a house 22x 100 feet in zero weather to about 55 de- grees, with hot water? Would it be necessarv to have valves in each pipe? B. L. The house under consideration, 22x100 feet, can be heated by a single 3-inch flow and twelve 2-inch returns. If a single flow is used this should be placed under the ridge. If you wish to keep all pipes under the benches use fourteen 2-inch pipes, placing five lines under each outside bench and four under the center THE KROESCHELL BOILER NOT CAST IRON HAS WflTEB FRONT SIDES TOP BACK M«w Catalogue and prices on application.

It will not be necessary to place valves in any of the pipes, unless so desired for the purpose of throwing a portion of the radiation out of service during mild weather. If valves are used install only gate valves. Globe valves impede the flow of water and are not desirable. If one line of pipe under each bench is valved it should be sufficient. Valves are, as a rule, not desirable in hot water systems of heating, but are quite essen- tial on extensive steam plants, where the boilers are kept under constant pressure. NEV ORLEANS. A rainy spell, with an everyday tem- perature above 90 degrees, is keeping the florists quite busy pulling grass and weeds on their places. Chrysanthemums 60 The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 9, 1908. have been making a big growth and are generally in as good a condition as can be desired. The number planted seems to be the same as last year. One of the largest growers around the city, J. Du- bois, has 25,000 planted outside. He grows different kinds; not so many Rob- inson as other florists. Between land speculation and a fair business in plants and flowers, he seems to be well satisfied and will soon build several new houses. An establishment of this kind, opposite the Carrolton cemetery, has been needed for some time, and no doubt J. Dubois is in the right place. A. Alost says he is not done making chrysanthemum cuttings. Joseph A. Schindler Seed Co. reports a splendid business in cut flowers and designs. M. M. L. DETROIT. The Market Summer is upon us and so is the quiet season. Vacations are about the chief topic of interest at the stores, while busi- ness seems to be practically at a stand- still. A general summing up of the whole season puts most of the florists some- what ahead of last year, in spite of the strenuous times which we hear so much about. This fact alone should cause us all to wear a smile, as the most of the business houses about town cannot show an increase; in fact, many of them ran far behind in this year's receipts. It is harder than ever to collect any- thing on old, slow accounts. Still, the people who have always been in the habit of settling promptly are as good as ever. There is not much good stock on the market. About the best flowers at pres- ent are sweet peas. Carnations are weak of stem and so small that a cent would look large in comparison. Roses come in pretty well open. This is especially true of La Detroit. There was an exceptionally good de- mand for valley during the last week, for several weddings. Orchids also play- ed quite an important part in the pro- ceedings. Qttb Meeting. Considering the warm weather and all the cool spots along the river front, the club's last meeting, on the evening of July 1, was well attended. More inter- est seems to have been shown in the club's welfare than for some time. C. H. Maynard suggested that the club adopt some button, to be worn by the members on their outings and all impor- tant occasions. A committee, consisting of R. Rahaley, Albert Pochelon and Wal- ter Taepke, was appointed to submit several suitable designs at the next meet- ing. Mr. Bloy started the question of get- ting higher prices for plants, particu- larly geraniums. He cited the case of Scott, in Buffalo, who disposed of some- thing like 35,000 geraniums at $1.50 per dozen, or $8 per hundred. D. S. Kimball called the attention of the club to the rapid increase of the va- rious tree pests in this city. Caterpil- lars, especially, are causing much dam- age. This is becoming a serious prob- lem, especially when, after the extra efforts of the park oflBcials, the pests are worse than ever. Ex-President Dilger was appointed by the chair to look up a suitable date for the club 's annual outing. This is to take place sometime in the latter part of July BnZm ■^ MORE MONEY -LESS WORRY A Capitol Boiler for the greenhouse means more money, because it will use less fuel.

Cigars were sent by H. V. Pearce, of the Detroit Cut Flower Supply House, who recently joined the benedicts, and every one smoked to their health. The next meeting will be a red-hot one, not only in point of the weather, but in other respects. It has been de- cided that a good house-cleaning is nec- essary and summer is the time to do it. A goodly number of the members who are far behind in their dues will be asked to settle up, and those not doing so will be dropped from the club mem- bership list, as per the by-laws. Con- vention plans are also to be discussed, so all should be on hand. Variotts Notes. Miss Gentlemen, the hustling manager of Leadley's store, is in the east on her vacation. Detroit will have an unusually large delegation at Niagara Falls next August, judging from the enthusiasm now shown. Alfred Roegner is sending in some fine peas.

Business has come down to the sum- mer basis. There is little doing and not much to do it with. The extremely hot weather we have had the last few days is telling on stock. Roses are poor and off color and it is hard to get enough good stock for what orders come in. Carnations are falling off in size, but are of good color. Enchantress still takes the top notch as to size and qual- ity and it is hard to beat for a hot weather carnation, as all that are com- ing in are still from old stock. The balance is getting smaller as the days roll by. Sweet peas are still plentiful, but the quality is poor, as they are soft, owing to the showers we have been having the last few days. Asters are looking fine, but it will be some time before they are in. Various Notes. At the club meeting June 23 the mem- bers presented a beautiful locket charm to Albert Knopf. It was neatly en- graved on one side and the initials of the club, C. F. C, in raised letters, were on the other side. Mr. Knopf was a charter member of our club and was the first man to put his name on the book. The picnic is coming on in good shape for July 15, and probably we will have three cars, as against two last year. Sherman Stephens will take the banner, no doubt, for selling the most tickets.

The annual rose show of the Worcester County Horticultural Society, June 25, was not a great success. This was not the fault of the society, however, but of the weather, for the warm weather this summer caused roses to bloom before the time for the show, and the result was that there was only a small showing of roses. Only two tables were to be seen. The society is having hard luck with its rose shows lately. Last year the roses were late, and at the date set for the show the flowers had not blossomed, and the real rose show was about two weeks later. This year roses were in their prime a week too early to be available for the annual exhibit. The heavy rain the preceding night caused a lot of roses to fall to pieces, and the crowds of people who visited the show were dis- appointed. Some of the miscellaneous flowers, however, as well as some of the fruits and vegetables, made a creditable show- ing. The prizes for roses were awarded to these three exhibitors: A. L. Bemis and Mrs. S. E. Fisher, of this place, and George Butler, gardener at the W. A. U-BAR GREENHOUSES ARE THE IDEAL HOUSES FOR PRIVATE ESTATES, rARKSJNSTITUTIONS and FLORISTS' SHOWROOMS.

The illustration on this page is one of the series of funeral designs by C. H. Fox, Columbia avenue and Twenty-first street, Philadelphia. The idea Mr. Fox has brought out is unusual. We fre- quently see sheaves of wheat filled at the top with roses, but the addition of a bunch of roses tied with ribbon lower down displays individuality. The roses used were Brides; Mr. Fox prefers this variety when obtainable in summer. The objection to the use of Kaiserins is their being so readily bruised. Phil. THE STOREMAN AND RETAILER Vacation Problems. As a sequel to our notes on "The Storeman and Eetailer," it is well to consider, at this vacation time, what in- fluence the judicious giving of holidays has on the employees. There are those who do not consider their just due has been awarded them unless they have their wages gratuitously extended to them and are sent away, with good wishes, to some secluded place, there to ponder over their glories or fret over their fancied wrongs of the past season. We are pleased to believe that the ma- jority of our employers, recognizing the faithfulness of their workers, take the opportunity of the quiet summer to show their appreciation of the hours of over- time, worked during those busy days of the "season" — hours that kept the clerk from the pleasures of life, while he worked without complaint, in the knowl- edge that he was not only building the business of the master, but securing and advancing his own interests. Such, we know, are the conditions ex- isting in many of our best establish- ments, conditions which are right and just. But there are those who have smaller places, with only one or l^wo clerks, where the prolonged absence of even one is a serious thing and can hard- ly be permitted. It is to such, particu- larly, that attention is drawn. Occasional Outinsfs. There is a possible way to give recrea- tion without hampering business, by ar- ranging time off. Who of us do not long to go to the ball game or the picnic, or to have a morning or afternoon with hook and line? Here, on this North American continent, we are blessed with the possi- bility of a good half day's outing at any of our chosen pastimes whenever the opportunity presents itself. If you are an employer, build up the mental and physical condition of your help by allowing them all the relaxa- tion possible during the quiet season. Arrange your staff in such a way that you may allow them all the time you can for play, that in the memory of your generosity during the quiet days they may be fortified to greater effort when the coming season — which we believe will be a hummer — arrives. The writer only too well knows the impossibility of set rules for time off. The head must impress all with the fact that should the loss of an allotted time ment in the crucial moments of the win-. ter rushes, when a certain amount of re- sponsibility falls on the shoulders of each employee, and from the head down to the messenger we are given the op- portunity to prove the interest we have in the success of our place. The foregoing puts us in mind of a conversation we had with the owner of one of our large retail stores, he stating that many of his help would not appre- ciate holidays given in addition to his regular ' * one week pay, one week own expense" plan. This man, by the way, outside of his store manager, believed in cheap help. Now, to discuss the propriety of com- pelling a clerk to take the same length of time off without pay as with pay, is hardly necessary, as he is indeed short- Sheaf of Wheat Filled with Roses. be compelled through a little rush, or for any other reason, it must not be consid- ered as a hardship, but only attributed to the uncertainty of the business. Far-reaching Effects* Our experience has been that where some such practice has been carried out, it has been far-reaching in its effect and has done much toward assuring the faith- ful cooperation of the whole establish- sighted who cannot see the poor policy in that plan. There should be no discrimination in the length of time Off, as all should be equal, but the senior hands should have the choice of time. Should longer than a proportionate time be required, it should be at the expense of the one re- ceiving it. If you cannot afford to carry out the plan of not laying off your staff a week The Weekly Florists^ Review* JULX 16, 1908. at a time, it would be far better to let one go for the season than antagonize the whole staff by the compulsory sys- tem. Expensiveness of Cheap Help. We want to put in a word against the cheap help idea, which happily is not very extensive. There seems no room for doubt that a cheap man is cheap iu every sense of the word. True, there are those who are receiving small re- muneration for large work, but they will find their level. Then there are many in the business who are cheap in the number of dollars paid them, but who cost twice as much as the better man, in the profit column. The best is hardly good euough in your store. We should also remember that every employee is entitled to consideration from' the head. Above all things, do not listen to the petty bickerings, but do with the "knocker," whether true or false, as was done by a department manager of our acquaintance. One of his clerks had carried a tale — whether true or false was apparently of little consequence — to the general manager, who, holding the clierk, sent for the man in question, and requested the clerk to repeat the accusation, which was done, with the result that the clerk lost his po8)ition. The moral is: If you cannot trust those in charge they should not be there. F. C. W. B. THE GALAX HORSEHEAD. The accompanying illustration ia re- ployees of W. J. Smyth as a part of a window decoration for horse-show week in 3906. The wire frame of the horse's head had been about the place for years and in fixing up a " horsey ' ' window the boys covered it with bronze galax leaves, adding a few chrysanthemums for color. The piece was in the window when C. W. Marks, a well-known horseman and large flower buyer, happened by. It chanced that an old horseman friend of his, named Sanford, was to be buried the next day and nothing would dp but that Marks should send to the funeral this horsehead from the show window. It pleased hin\ so well that he had the pho- tograph made from which the illustra- tion is reproduced. There is just one little detail which would have added a great deal to the appearance pf the piece. The ribbon which served as bridle rein was drawn too tightly when the photograph was made. The letters ''San" were added at the buyer's re- quest, because that was the nickname of the man to whose funeral it was sent. C. W. Marks is well-known in the trade in Chicago and it is said he buys as many flowers as some retail florists. He is an old friend of 0. P. Bassett and was the owner of the building in which A. L. Randall did business for a number of years when located on Washington street. HOUSE-CLEANING. Do Not Neglect the Opporttinity. If the houses which contained bedding stock are to be used for carnations, vio- A Window Display Piece that Went to a Funeral. produced for the purpose of showing that one can never tell when he will make a ■ale. This is a piece made by the em- lets or late chrysanthemums, do not wait a minute with getting them ready and in jiroper shape to receive the new stock. This is the only chance in the year for the average retail grower to give a proper house-cleaning, which is so necessary to- ward having success with the cultivation of plants under glass. In places where a large variety of plants are grown, as is the case with most retail growers, more or less stuff not salable is bound to accumulate during the year. Only too often stock of this kind occupies valuable bench room longer than it ought to. It seems to break the own- er's heart to part with it. Another con- dition, not at all proper, which is liable to exist at this time of the year is the presence of small, scattered lots of ge- raniums, cannas, or other bedding stock all over the houses. All this stock could be moved into one house or bench, where it would require not half the attention, and thus the other houses could be got ready for cleaning. Do not wait for a rainy day, when nothing can be done outside. Do not lay off two or three hands because you are through with bedding out. No, hire as many more to help to get the place in tiptop shape, so that by convention week your carnations will all be planted. . The Cleaning. The cleaning can begin on the benches. Every bit of soil, or whatever material has been used to stand pots on, should be removed. Do not overlook the corners, or the space between the bottom boards where they rest on the 2x4 's, for these are the lodging places for insects and disease germs. After this give the benches a good cleaning with the hose. Now is the time to do such repairing as will be needed. It is no economy to put a lot of lumber into an old bench. It is cheaper to build a new one; but some- times it is advisable to repair a weak spot in a bench when it is empty, to avoid a breakdown in midwinter. As soon as the benches of a house are in good shape and before any painting or whitewashing is done, clean underneath, and the same care in getting into the cor- ners and around the pots should be prac- ticed as with the benches themselves. Do ■ not level soil which may have accumulat- ed from canna roots just over, but re- move it. While working below the benches there is a good chance to exam- ine the supports of the heating pipes. Weak ones or leaky joints should have attention now. If the interior of the houses is to be painted, as it should be every two years, a thorough cleaning of the rafters, pur- lins and gutter sides is the next thing on the program. A good, stiff brush and a putty knife are the tools necessary for this job. Painting and Whitewashing. The time to paint a house is when it is empty. The man who has to cover his plants with newspapers in order to paint is working at a disadvantage. It only costs a few dollars to paint the interior of a house and it adds so much to the apearance of a place that it should never be looked at as an unnecessary expense. There are a number of ready mixed paints and preparations offered, but a good coat of white lead and oil is hard to beat. Wherever wooden gutters are still in use, July is the best month to clean and wash them out thoroughly. Let them get dry again and apply a thick coat of white lead and oil. While no time should be lost in paint- ing after the houses are cleaned and the benches repaired, it is well to put off the Jolt 16, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* i', . ;.l Eretnurus Robustus at Home of W. E. Kelley, Oconomowoc, Wis. dry out, and the more time one can allow for this purpose the better. It is almost useless to try to apply whitewash with a brush and expect to get into every corner and crack where it is really most important to get the liquid if you wish to destroy the breeding places of insects. A bucket spray pump will be found a most useful article around a place. Such a pump, with a * ' Bordeaux ' ' nozzle, makes whitewashing an easy task and saves a lot of valuable time. The important thing about whitewash- ing is to apply the liquid hot or freshly prepared. Then it is most effective. Do not keep a lot of slaked lime around the place for some future job. Dump it and prepare a fresh lot each time. It pays. There is no use in applying to a bench a heavy, thick paste, in order to do an extra good job. A thin coat of fresh, hot material does just as well and better, but care should be taken to have the sur- face where the whitewash is to go on clean. There is no doubt but what a lot of trouble with insects and fungous dis- eases could be avoided if more care was used in keeping corners clean. Give the house at least once a year a thorough cleaning, and what is almost as necessary, a thorough drying out. The soil in the walks and under the benches is bound to become sour from the constant drip of the benches, and this, in time, is certain to have a bad effect on the health of the plants. Lime, properly and freely enough used, is of the greatest value to the man who runs greenhouses, but in many places it is not enough appreciated, and this is especially the case in old places, where most needed. Fritz Bahk. EREMURUS ROBUSTUS. Eremurus robustus is a stately plant, native in the deserts in Turkestan, Asia Minor, Persia, Siberia and the Hima- layas, and a striking object in the her- baceous garden when in flower. The ac- companying illustration will be of special interest, as it shows, also, W. E. Kclley, who was recently elected president of the Horticultural Society of Chicago. The two plants shown, with seven spikes, are blooming on Mr. Kellcy's grounds at his summer home at Oconomowoc, Wis., where James A. Wilson is gardener. As Mr. Kelley is full six feet tall, it can be seen that the eremuri like the treatment they receive on the shores of Lac La Belle. September is a good month in which to plant the eremuri, but they can be moved with safety while the ground is open. Great care is needed in lifting them, as the large, octopus-like roots are easily broken. While the plants appear to thrive in any good garden soil, a com- post containing a good proportion of meadow muck, leaf-mold and well rotted cow manure seems especially suitable. The land should be well drained and the crowns buried eight to ten inches deep. A coating of leaves should be placed over the crowns after the ground freezes, and as growth commences early in the spring and the young shoots are liable to injury from late frosts and cutting winds, it is well to leave a mulching round the plants until early in May. A few short pine or spruce boughs also may be stuck in the ground around the plants for protection. The tall, naked flower scapes are ter- minated by racemes two to four feet in length. The leaves are long and linear, dying down a few weeks after the plants have flowered. The flower scapes need no supporting unless the plants are in a wind-swept location. W. N. Craig says the plants produce seeds with great freedom, which, if sown when ripe, germinate readily. It takes five to seven years to flower them from seed, however, and few have the patience to wait so long. Division of the root is the usual means of propagation. While the price of the roots remains moderately high, due to the slow propa- gation of the plant, it has declined con- siderably (luring t*he last few years, and whereas five years ago eremuri were looked upon as novelties, they are now to be met with in many gardens and are listed by a good number of American dealers. They are worthy a place in every well regulated garden, and the com- mercial grower who can show his cus- tomers flowering plants cannot fail to have orders for them. MASTICA FOR LEAKY ROOFS. My houses are old and leak badly when it rains. I want to tighten the roofs before cold weather and want to know if Mastica is better than putty on old roofs, where the paint is off badly. S. M. Mastica is useful on leaky roofs and I always like to have some of it on hand, but if you are reglazing the roofs of your house, I would prefer to use good putty, as it will give you a per- fectly tight roof if properly bedded. Of course, a coat of white lead should be given after glazing. Do this work now, as time will permit, rather than wait for cool weather. c. W. FREIGHT CLASSIFICATION. Carl Ickes, vice-president and treas- urer of the A. Dietsch Co., Chicago, writes : "We note in the Review of June 25 an article about the freight rates to the western states. In reference to this, we beg to inform you that several months previous, we had already entered a re- quest for the readjustment of the classi- fication, our letter to the Western Classi- fication Committee being dated April 13. Our main point, however, was the ap- parent discrimination by the railroads against car lots of greenhouse material containing other items than strictly the wood parts. While they apply car lot rates on shipments containing bars, ven- tilators, etc., they apply less than car The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 16, 1908. lot rates as soon as glass or pipe are included. The orders of the majority of florists are not large enough to entitle them to the benefit of the lower rates under these rulings, while if the rail- roads ^ould cliange their rulings and allow a carload to be made up of every- thing going into a greenhouse, even the smaller growers could arrange for car- load shipments and thus enjoy the ad- vantage of the low rates." ,. • ASTERS WILTING. I send an aster plant, which please ex- amine and let me know what is wrong with it. The plants in the field look fine, but they are beginning to droop all over the field. Some of them are drooping over so that the tops come to the ground. W. U. The plant forwarded had absolutely nothing wrong with it in the way of dis- ease 01^ parasite. Ii all your plants were as healthy. as this one, unless something happened to them which the plant did not show, you ought to have a splendid cut of asters. Your description does not suggest the common aster blight, with which you are perhaps familiar. Dig up one of the wilted plants and examine the roots carefully. Perhaps aphis is work- ing at the roots. In such case, water with tobacco water to destroy the aphis. Use one of tne tobacco extracts for this, at the strength recommended for spray- ing. You should have forwarded a wilt- ed plant along with the healthy one. A. F. J. B. SOAP SOLUTION FOR SPIDER. We had quite a bit of trouble with red spider on our carnations last win- ter and I was unable to control the pest satisfactorily by syringing, without hurt- ing the plants. I have tried both salt and soap solutions. I found that salt did the work pretty well, but burned some vines we had at the edges of the benches rather badly. So I tried soap, and am quite enthu- siastic over the results. I used a regular sized bar of Ivory soap, the 8-cent size, to a gallon and a half or two gallons of water, sprayed it on thoroughly from both sides of the bench, and let it stay on about a day. Two applications com- pletely cleaned the spider out of one bench and about finished the work on the others. Henry P, Button. THRIPS IN THE FIELD. Please give a way of eradicating thrips on carnations in the field. A. R. W. The only remedy I could suggest for thrips in the field would be to spray the plants with one of the tobacco ex- tracts or to dust them with tobacco dust. Tobacco in any form seems to be more effective against them than anything else, providing you reach them. While the plants are not blooming you can keep them dusted thoroughly, and with good results. A. F. J. B. TOPPING. About what time should you stop topping carnations? How do you man- age to have carnations the year around? C. M. H. The .proper time to stop topping your carnation plants depends principally on the time you expect to house them. When you bring the plants in they should carry as many shoots as you were able to induce them to make. These should range as widely as possible, from young breaks up to shoots which are ready to run up to bud. To have all your plants in that condition requires a close study of each variety, as to its habit of growth, etc. If you plant early, it is a comparatively simple matter, as in such case you can top regul»tly until about a week before you bring the plants in. But after the mid- dle of August, and the later it gets, the more care must bo exercised and dis- crimination practiced between varieties. Varieties which naturally break quickly and run right up to flower are easy to handle, but other varieties, and some of them among our best sorts, must not be topped too close late in August. You do not want them to carry any buds at planting time, either, so a good plan is to let the shoots run up until they are about to show bud and then take them off. In this way you avoid getting a mass of short shoots which will come into crop all at the same time. I have known growers to miss even Christmas with such varieties as Enchantress, K. Craig, etc., just by too late topping. After you house your plants do not top them as you do in the field, un- less you want them to bloom in crops. To get a steady cut of blooms you will find it better to let the shoots run up to bud and, as long as you do not want the blooms, cut the stems carrying half developed buds the same as you would cut the blooms. Here, varieties differ again. The quick bloomers will throw up their buds at once and, unless they are removed regularly once or twice each week at least, you will throw them into the cropping habit. The more bushy growers will throw up few shoots at first, and these should be allowed to develop blooms in order to get later breaks to follow up the shoots already on the plants. The main crop will naturally come early in the winter. Such varieties as Enchantress and its sports can be nicely managed in this re- spect, while Beacon, Robert Craig and such must be given careful study. Many growers failed to get Beacon into heavy cut last Christmas, because they topped too late. On White Perfection, Victory and such quick bloomers, you can always keep your cut within sight by taking off the shoots carrying small buds and they can be thrown into blooms within a few weeks, when wanted. In answer to your second question, I will say that we do not manage to have carnations the year around, although this can be done if desired. Here is where variety counts more than anything else. Some varieties could not be made to bloom the year around by even the most expert growers, while other varieties, if handled properly, will give you fairly good blooms twelve months in the year. They will not do this, however, from the same batch of plants, although some varieties will give you fairly good blooms well into the hot summer from the old plants. We are now still cutting nice blooms of White Perfection, Lady Boun- tiful, the Enchantress tribe and Victory. Naturally, the blooms are not as good as they were six weeks ago, but until the asters come in they are good prop- erty. In order to have carnations through late July, August and early September you must arrange to have them blooming in the field. Propagate such varieties as White Perfection, May and Enchantress in November, and grow them into bushy plants in 4-inch pots by planting out lime. Plant them where you can water them and apply a mulch of loose material early in June. These will give you some good blooms if no topping is re- quired after they are planted out. Plant these in beds about five feet wide and set the plants 8x8 inches apart. Winona looks as if it would make a good one for this purpose. A. F. J. B. CYCLAMEN FOR CHRISTMAS. I have a number of cyclamen bulbs left from last season. Kindly let me know at what time I have to start them to have them in bloom for next Christ- mas. V. A. P. Cyclamen corms or bulbs should never be thoroughly dried off. They require a resting period during the early sum- mer months, but far too often they are thrown aside after blooming and kept in a dust-dry condition until August. Good results cannot be attained by such treatment. I hope your bulbs have not been too much dried up, so aa to en- courage dry rot in them. If still in pots, shake away all the old soil. Clean out any mealy bug or other pests lurking on them and repot in as small receptacles as the bulbs will comfortably go in. Use a mixture of leaf-mold, loam and sand and press the soil moderately firm. Keep the bulbs just above the soil. It is a mistake to bury them. Grow in a coldframe under lath shading, removing the latter when the sun does not shine. Spray once or twice a day when growth starts, but water sparingly until that time. Give a shift in September and move the plants into a temperature of 48 to 50 degrees in a light but not too sunny house by October 1, to insure their being in flower for Christmas. If want- ed later, you can, with advantage, leave in frames until November and then grow in a house kept at 40 to 45 degrees at night. C. W. Janesville, Wis. — The C. G. Dwight greenhouses have been completed and 11,000 roses planted. In the field are 10,000 carnations that will be housed be- fore August 1. Charles Wahler is the grower. George M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, Mo., has returned home from a sanato- rium at Battle Creek, Mich., in a critical condition. He is suffering with heart failure and has some very bad spells but was resting easily July 15. July 16, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ SEASONABLE CULTURE. Need for Watckfulness. Insects are, as usual, appearing in va- riety and the careful grower must be on the watch all the time. The most com- mon and voracious are the caterpillars. All the butterflies found in the houses should be captured and killed, because if they are prevented from laying their eggs on the plants, there will be no cater- pillars to speak of. Look over the under side of the leaves and you will often find an innocent looking circle of eggs, or a colony of larva; just beginning to move around. If you can catch them before they have traveled away from each other you have saved yourself much future trouble. If the plants are sprayed with a light solution of Paris green it will be found eflfective in cleaning out this pest. Thrips. There is a small white thrips that se- cretes itself on the under side of the leaf and does much damage before the inex- perienced eye detects that there is any- thing wrong with the plant. The plant takes on a generally unhealthy look, the leaves are pale and ragged-looking and if one looks closely on the under side of the leaf the tiny mites will be seen suck- ing out the chlorophyl. I have found nothing better for this trouble than clear, cold water, using on the hose a sprayer that diverts the water upwards and per- mits of a thorough washing of both sides of the leaf. Borers. Trouble is being reported from several sections with a species of borer that is most destructive, causing, as it does, the total loss of the plant. The egg is laid in the stem of the plant and the worm will proceed to eat out the entire center, working up the plant until finally the plant falls over, revealing that there is nothing left of the stem but the outside bark. There is no way of fighting a pest like this, so far as I can see, because poi- sons do not touch it, as it works entirely inside, and tobacco fumigation is of no use whatever in such a case. A vigorous and persistent policy of destruction to all the butterfly tribe will, I have no doubt, be found the best remedy, as prevention is better than cure. General Notes* The summer so far is much warmer than usual, making frequent spraying necessary to keep down the temperature. I have never been in favor of shading houses in which chrysanthemums are growing, though it does seem that a moderate shade would be of benefit these scorching days, to the men in charge, if nothing else. It is an unnatural condi- tion to a cold-blooded plant to be under glass on a hot day, but still I say, do not shade the houses unless for some reason you are compelled to. Pot on the plants intended for 6-inch pots, from 2 1/2 -inch to 4-ineh, as soon as they are ready, because this class of plant must be kept growing from the moment it is rooted. Use good rotted new loara and to every wheelbarrow of soil put in a 6-inch pot of fine bone. This will furnish nourishment right from the first and the plants will show by their appearance how they appreciate it. Specimen plants, if not yet potted into their flowering pots, should be attended to at once. The pinching or stopping should be kept up all this month, going over the plants every day and stopping shoots as needed, bearing in mind all the time the future conformation of the plant. Plants that are set • out un the garden with the idea of lifting them in September should be treated the same and don't forget that a vigorous hosing in the evening is very beneficial in check- ing insect pests. Charles H. Totty. VET COMPOST. Early last spring I had soil with con- siderable sod and the regular propor- tion of well-rotted manure piled up, and later turned over. It has rained for six weeks to two months and it is so satu- rated that it has been impossible to fill the mum benches, and it is still rain- ing. How do you advise me to manage them? I do not want to fail in having good flowers next fall. S. M. If your chrysanthemums are in small pots, and the compost you prepared for the benches is too saturated to handle, it will be better for you to give your plants a shift into larger pots rather than allow them to become hard and pot- bound. If in 2 V^ -inch pots, shift to 31^ -inch, and if in 3-inch, move to 4- inch. Have your benches emptied and in readiness to receive the new compost as soon as weather conditions improve. Let the soil dry out, so as not to be pasty when your plants are benched. Your section of Kansas is getting more than its regular rainfall, evidently, while vast areas elsewhere are being almost ruined by drought. C. W. RAPID GROWTH. I would like your advice in regard to chrysanthemums. I have mine planted on solid beds three feet wide, 6x6 inches apart. They were planted out June 20 and are growing nicely; in fact, I think too fast. I have them staked to 3-foot wire stakes. T. Eaton is sixteen inches high; Mrs. Eobinson, twelve inches; Col. Appleton, twenty inches; October Frost, twelve inches. I want to know if 3-foot stakes would be tall enough for each kindf I want to grow one flower on each plant. Should I pinch the tops out to keep them from getting too tall? G. N. If you have head room enough it would be a shame to pinch . back the plants, since you only want to get one flower from each plant. The Batons will get up five feet and the others from three and one-half to four and one-half feet, providing you take the first bud that shows after August 20 to 25. This height is of course approximate only, as I do not know local conditions or soil. The question of whether the 3-foot wire stakes are long enough need cause no concern, as they can be easily made longer by capping with a bamboo, running the top of the wire stake up inside it, which will make it rigid, and the stakes can then be cut off any length desired. C. H. T. PANSIES FOR INDOORS. There are many of us who find good pansies in January, February and March valuable as cut flowers. Quite often a small batch on a side bench will bring good returns, for there is always a de- mand for pansies, especially when they are of good size and coloring. As with anything else, you cannot ex- pect to stick them in some dark corner and get good results. They require all the sun there is to be had, as well as a good, rich, mellow soil and an almost violet house temperature, in order to get good flowers, and no aphis should ever be allowed to stunt the growth of the plants. This pest will ruin them in a short time. What tempted me more than anything else to write about pansies was a desire to call attention to the excellent qualities of a certain French strain sold under the name of Mme. Perret. I doubt if there is a better variety for forcing than this one, wherever large flowers of the richest col- oring are wanted. The flowers are borne on long, stiff stems, and the plants grow to an enormous size compared with other strains. We have tried it for outdoor planting, but found other mixtures, such as are offered as home-grown seed by pansy growers of this country, superior for that purpose, but for indoor growing it is certainly a good thing. If good, strong plants of Mme. Perret are wanted by fall, seed should be sown by July 15. The little plants, when large enough, can be transplanted, say five inches apart, in a coldframe, where they can remain until wanted 'inside. There is really nothing gained by having them in- side earlier than the end of November or even December. They will not bloom in paying quantities much before Janu- ary, and the plants, as long as suflSciently protected in a frame, are as well off there as anywhere else. . When bringing them in, be just a little careful to lift the 8 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ July 16, 1908. plants with a nice clump of soil clinging to the roots; if this is done, they will never notice the changing. It will pay any retail grower to put out one ounce of this strain, which is offered at about $3 by most of our seed houses. If not all of the plants are wanted by fall, they may come in handy during the winter months, if you should happen to have bad luck with a certain crop. Or the plants may be lifted three weeks be- fore Easter, either planted in a bench or directly into pans, which latter method is as well, as the colors of pansies are not like petunias; they always harmonize. These pans will make some of the best selling Easter plants you could possibly handle, at less expense than anything that could be grown for that occasion. Pansies in pans are like violets; they last but a short time when in a store or in the dry atmosphere of a dwelling, but well filled dishes or pans are always good sellers whenever a not too high priced pretty plant in bloom is wanted. I might add that it is not necessary to go to the trouble to cover the seed bed with sashes. While it is well to protect the germinating seeds just a little from the hot rays of the July sun by means of shade frames, the young plants want all the air they can get, and are likely to get spindly in a few days if the shade is left on too long, Fritz Bahr. SEASONABLE CULTURE. The Summer Routine. . During the next few weeks young stock will require a good deal of care and at- tention, particularly if the weather is hot. Proper care in watering, ventilat- ing, syringing, watching for the first signs of mildew and keeping insect pests in subjection will keep us alert for the rest of the summer. After planting is finished, the houses should get a thorough clean-up. All rubbish and soil should be removed from under the benches and from walks. During the summer the plentiful sup- plies of water required will cause a growth of weeds under the benches and along the sides of the walks. These, if allowed to remain, constitute a harbor and breeding place for all sorts of pests, especially red spider and thrips, two of the worst of our enemies. Staking and tying will also demand attention, as it is ruinous to allow the young growths to ramble over the bench. If tying is attended to in good season there is less chance for spider to thrive, and by providing a free circulation of air among the leaves the tendency to pro- duce a crop of blind wood is lessened. Disbudding will also claim attention. Nipping off the bud is a rather primitive and easy way of doing the work, but is far from attaining the object desired. To encourage and strengthen the growth designed for a future crop, the proper eye must be selected and the flow of sap diverted to it, instead of allowing it lo develop flowers and leaves, which are not wanted at this season. It is a safe plan to cut off, along with the bud, three or more of the topmost eyes, being guid- ed in the number by the strength and length of stem to be operated on. RiBES. DWARF ROSES FOR BEDS. Clothilde Soupert is quite hardy and at the same time is a free and continuous bloomer. The flowers are of a medium size, flesh color with a rosy center, well formed. The plant is vigorous, erect, quite hardy and flowers abundantly. It is well adapted to beds and masses. Baby Bambler is particularly suitable for planting in beds, being a strong grower with upright habit, yielding large clusters of crimson or white flowers, of only medium size but effective because of the profusion with which they are pro- duced. It is hardy, vigorous and con- tinuous flowering; it has good foliage and will be largely grown. It supplies a long-felt want — a good bedding rose. While the flowers are not as desirable for cutting as those produced on single stems, the clusters of blossoms can be utilized in vases to good effect. Moder- ate protection in winter is recommended. Mile, Cecilia Brunner, a dwarf poly- antha, one of the fairy roses, so-called because of their miniature buds and blos- soms, will be highly prized. Its perfect little buds are followed by small but fully developed flowers of a salmon color, afterwards becoming white. The flowers are in clusters. Its wealth of exquisite flowers makes it admirable for bedding. LORD & BURNHAM'S LATEST. Lyman B. Craw, secretary of the Lord & Burnham Co., 1133 Broadway, New York, writes as follows: "I am sending you one of the first copies of a little catalogue we have just had printed. We have dubbed it our 'Handy Hand Book of Greenhouse Mate- rial,' because in it we have described every piece, stick, or fitting required to erect and equip a greenhouse. The ma- terials are classified, grouped and in- dexed for ready reference. "It is the first book of the kind that has ever been published in this country. There are, of course, catalogues of iron- frame greenhouses, catalogues of boilers, catalogues of greenhouse heating and ventilating apparatus, but there has been no other book published containing all of them and all so arranged that each part, or any group of parts, may bo taken right from a prepared list with accompanying prices. "It will interest you to see a cata- logue that has on one page paint and putty, and on others, door hardware, boilers, heating fittings, etc. "Enclosed with the book is a small envelope containing a hook, to hang the book up by. This is the way we send the book out to all those who inquire for it." The Lord & Burnham books are always splendidly gotten up and speak with the authority of long years in the business, so the Review^ awaits with interest the receipt of the "Handy Hand Book" and the opportunity to put the little hook to the purpose for which it was intended. CALLAS IN SOLID BEDS. In the Review of July 2, J. H. C. asks about callas in solid beds, I should like to give a little of my experience with callas grown in that way, I have a bed about 4x22 feet. The plants stand about one foot apart lengthways and four inches across. This bed has not been taken up for about five years and it grows better every year, giving us this last season, from November to June, over 600 flowers, by actual count. About June 1 we stop watering the bed and just let the plants dry down and stay where they are. When they begin to show signs of starting to grow again in the fall, usually about October 1 or perhaps a little earlier, we commence watering them agdin. Soon after they get started we give them a heavy coat- ing of manure, sometimes stable and sometimes sheep manure, which was what they had last fall. We consider this the best i)aying bed on the whole place. We give them a night temperature of about 60 degrees. E. A. R. SWEET PEAS IN CALIFORNL^. Lester L, Morse, in 1906, told the Seed Trade Association that there were ap- proximately 750 acres of sweet peas for seed grown in California and the accom- panying illustration will serve to give a further idea of the extent of the busi- ness, for the lower part of the picture shows only one variety, Nora Unwin, there being five solid acres of this sort in this one piece. The scene is the San Juan ranch of Waldo Rohnert and the occasion the recent visit of A, C, Zvo- lanek, of Bound Brook, N, J,, both gen- tlemen appearing in the upper part of the picture. The kodaker caught Mr. Zvolanek in the act of making a com- parison of Nora Unwin and the White Spencer, the former variety being in his opinion possibly the finest white to date. The lower picture shows that, while the season's crop of sweet pea seeds will be short, there are nevertheless some goocl pieces. Mr. Zvolanek went to California more especially to inspect the crops of his own winter-flowering peas, which are being grown there under contract for him. Denver, Colo. — Louis A. Kintzele, who was formerly in business at Michigan City, Ind., and who arrived here about a year ago, has entered into the florists' trade here, both wholesale and retail, and will make this city his permanent home.

The early shipments of Harrisii lily bulbs will soon be at hand and, where flowers are wanted for Christmas, there should be no delay in securing and pot- ting them. A compost of fibrous loam and sand, with a little well decayed cow manure, is a suitable one. Do not use much of the manure, and if not thor- oughly rotted, better leave it out al- together. For 5-7 bulbs 5-inch pots are sufficiently large. The 7-9 size can go in 6-inch. The latter size will also answer well for three of the smallest bulbs. In potting, put some sand below and over the bulb, which should be covered about half an inch. Give a soaking of water after potting. Stand on a bed of coal ashes in a frame or pit. Cover the pots with half decayed leaves or manure. Place matchboard shutters over them to exclude sunshine and showers and ex- amine at intervals, removing them to light as soon as growths appear. CaUas. Calla bulbs, which have been resting for some time, should now be shaken out, preparatory to restarting them. With intelligent care home-grown bulbs are superior to California ones, just as home- grown freesias are, but too often the dry- ing process results in the ruination of many bulbs, these being simply cooked, rather than gradually ripened off. As a general thing, we do not pot our calla bulbs before August 1, this being suffi- ciently early to insure a strong growth outdoors before housing time arrives. As between growing single large bulbs in 6-inch or 7-inch pots, or several in 10-inch or 12 inch pots, we get larger flowers from the latter pots, but have secured rather more blooms from the smaller pots in proportion to the space they have occupied. A good compost for callas consists of two parts fibrous loam, one part rather lumpy, dried cow manure, with a good sprinkling of sharp sand and a 6-inch pot of bone meal to each barrowload of loam. If this can be prepared some time before it is used, all the better. After potting stand outdoors on a bed of ashes in full sunshine. After the initial watering keep on the dry side until growth becomes active. It is not advisable to plant dormant bulbs direct into benches, where this plan of culture is followed, but start in 5-inch or 6-inch pots and transfer to the benches when nicely rooted around the sides. Geraniums. It is much too early to do any propa- gating of geraniums. In this torrid weather the percentage of damped off cuttings would be abnormally heavy. It would be well, however, to look over stock plants in the field. Where they ap- pear to be wasting too much energy in flowers, remove the trusses and keep the , soil well cultivated, to encourage growth; especially should this be done with va- I rieties of real value of which you are anxious to increase your stock. Under the financial depression which has existed since last fall, nearly every branch of the florists' industry has suf- fered to some extent, but in the case of geraniums there appears to have been no decrease in sales but rather the re- verse, slocks being sold out clean in near- ly every case. Plants being especially grown for win- ter flowering should now be in 4-inch pots, and during August should receive a further shift to 6-inch. The double varieties are more useful than the singles, as they stand shipping better. Such sorts as S. A. Nutt, Alphonse Eicard, Ville de Poitiers, E. H. Trego and Peter Henderson are just what are needed for Christmas sales. The more showy singles answer well for home trade. Paul Cram- pel is one of the best of brilliant scarlet color. Its habit is ideal. It is also more floriferous than any other geranium. In this intensely hot weather the win- ter geraniums will grow nicely in a cold- frame without sashes. If a lath shad- ing is run over them from 10 a. m. to 3 p. m., they will grow all the better for it. Hollyhocks* There can be no finer border plant than that grand old perennial, the holly- hock. For filling large vases its cut stalks of flowers are magnificent, but we do not see it grown to any consider- able extent by commercial florists. In the case of perennials, even if there were no sales from cut flowers, the increasing tendency towards using a larger number of these plants by every owner of a gar- den should create an excellent sale for them, and the florist who can show pros- pective customers a nice row of holly- hocks in bloom can hardly fail to sell them plants for next spring's delivery. From seed started now vigorous plants can be had. Owing to droughty condi- tions usually prevailing in July, it is better to sow the seed in a coldframe. Glass covering is not necessary, but cheesecloth, to prevent drying out of the soil, should be used during bright sun- shine. Separate colors of good double hollyhocks can be purchased so reason- ably that it is better not to bother with any mixtures. The seed germinates in a few days and the seedlings should be transplanted before they become too crowded, always choosing a cool, moist spell for this work. General Repairing. During the heated spell is the proper time to attend to all greenhouse repairs, although many of us put it off each year until the first cool nights remind us of what we have forgotten. Painting, glaz- ing, piping, bench repairing and build- ing, overhauling steam and hot water boilers and work of a like character should be don& during the hot summer months. Then we need not sleep with an open eye when the first killing frosts arrive. The continued high price of lum- ber is causing many to adopt concrete benches as a substitute, and all who have tried them have no further use for wood. It also pays to use concrete for perma- nent coldframes. Sweet Peas in Gdifomia. JO The Weekly Florists' Review, Jolt le, 1908. Coal supplies for the coming winter should be arranged for while prices rule low; if this has been neglected, it should be attended to without delay. Brief Reminders. Cinerarias should be sown now in a coldframe. Keep the pans well covered with paper. Keep the little plants of Ficus elastica and F. pandurata potted on before they become potbound. Syringe ficus in lath sheds ireely during hot weather. Eemove the pods from sweet peas per- sistently. Pick the flowers in the even- ing. If gathered in the heat of the day and placed in a cold room many flowers will fade out. Get the young smilax and Asparagus Sprengeri in the beds and benches as soon as possible. Cut out all old shoots from last year's Sprengeri bench. Save seeds of any fine strains of use- ful perennials, such as larkspur, aquile- gia and digitalis. Sow at once and they will produce fine plants before fall. Choose cloudy, moist days for the transplanting of perennial and biennial seedlings. I ''#^.<#^.•■!-^^^^^^ FOREIGN EXPERIMENTAL WORK. Results of Investigations at Urbana. In organizing the experimental work in floriculture at the Agricultural Ex- periment Station at Urbana, 111., the De- partment of Horticulture had prepared a brief review of such work as has already been done, especially in other countries. Some notes from one sub-topic of that report are here presented in abridged form: The largest amount of experimental work along the line of forcing has been concerned with the new process of etheri- 7.ation. The investigations have borne on the physical nature of the process, the effect of various environmental con- ditions on it and its application and eflBciency with various kinds of plants. First and foremost is to be mentioned the discovery of the treatment itself by Dr. Johannsen, professor of botany in „ the Agricultural College at Copenhagen. This discovery marked the beginning of a new experimental interest in the management and cultural modification of the resting period in plants. A num- ber of other investigators have elaborated the method or defined the conditions of its application. Aymard, Fils, has made quite consid- erable theoretical studies on etherization and has written a booklet on the sub- ject. Effect of Etherizatioa. First, as to the nature of the process in the plant: Investigations show that anesthetics have the same effect on plant life as does drying out or freezing. Further, the three processes can be inter- changed for cultural purposes. It was shown that the drying out of plants is a factor in etherizing by desiccating un- etherized plants over calcium chlorid and other desiccating agents. Such plants forced as quickly or even quicker than '^hose treated with ether. Moreover, eth- erized plants were shown to lose consid- erably in weight. Further investigations along this line showed that the more the plant has been frozen the less is the strength of etheri- zation that is needed to force it. Temperature and humidity during the process of etherization were shown to be of great importance. It was shown that the effect of anesthetics is directly pro- portional to the temperature at the time of etherization. The best temperature is 17 to 20 degrees C. The upper limit at which ether affects the plant is 24 degrees, and the lower limit 9 degrees below zero C. It should be remarked that another authority on this subject thinks that the different temperatures for etherization cannot be laid down so exactly as Ay- mard has done in these figures. Investigations have brought out — as also the experience of gardeners — that the percentage of humidity in the box at the time of etherization is of con- siderable importance. So far as the re- viewer has noticed, however, percentages have not been stated. Chatenay noticed that if there is a high degree of humidity in the etherizing box the flowers do not open well. As to the necessity for light: It has been found that lilacs may be forced in the dark up to the time the flowers be- gin to open. Vilaire found that bagging of the buds just as they begin to appear hastens their opening. Bagged clusters opened while those not bagged were still in the bud. Aymard sho-wed, further, that the effect of anesthetics decreases as the thickness of the covering of the buds increases; and that the quantity of liquid used and the length of time it is applied must be proportioned to this thickness. It has been found that etherizing plants as soon as they are taken out of the ground does not give so good results as when the plants are allowed to rest for a few days in the interval. Further, Ledien has shown that etherized plants retain the effect of the treatment for some time and that they do not need to be forced at once. In fact, lilacs which had stood for two weeks between etheri- zation and the beginning of forcing bloomed in five days less time than did plants brought into the greenhouse di- rectly from the etherization box. (To be contiDued.) PITTSBURG. The Market. When one says we are in the midst of summer business it does not mean much business and this year it means less than usual. There is not even the usual amount of funeral work, although there is some good stock and the first asters have made their appearance. It is believed, how- ever, that most of our mills and factories are about to resume operations and, if such proves true, by the time fall comes we will not have anything to complain of. Among the wholesalers there is not so much complaint, as many of the em- ployees are on their vacations, giving the balance all the exercise they need this extremely, hot weather. Qub Meeting. The Pittsburg Florists' Club met last Tuesday evening, but a big storm during the afternoon and evening kept the at- tendance down. The subject for the evening was "Annuals and Perennials." There was a good exhibit and what was lacking in numbers was made up in en- thusiasm. The prize for perennials went to Mr. Lillie, gardener for Mr. Barns- dale; for annuals, to Fred Weissenbach, gardener for Wm. Mellon. The Elliott Nursery Co. sent in about fifty specimens of hardy perennials, which were shown by one of the firm's employees, Mr. Marshall, who stood ready to give any information asked for. President Fred Burki had a bunch of native wild flowers. J. Weisman, gardener for D. M. Clem- son, showed Hydrangea arborescens steri- lis, which is considered a good thing, blooming as it does from the middle of June till the late varieties come into bloom. There probably has not been a meeting held for some time in which the interest was so general as was the interest in the discussion of the hardy flowers. Several new members were added, and a few old ones who are in arrears for dues were carried over, in hopes that they might have enough pride in their profession to keep themselves in good standing in the only society which does anything to bring them together and encourages and instructs them in the various lines in which they should be in- terested. There are not many of these, but it was the judgment of most of the members that these few might be shown that it is to their interest to stand with the boys if it did cost them $2 per year to do it. Wake up, boys I Pay your dues like men and do not let your friends think you too small to associate with. ' Variotft Notes. John Bader and T. F. • Koerbel will sail Thursday, July 16, for Europe. They expect to be gone several months, cover- ing all points of interest. Mrs. E. A. Williams is resting at one of the Canadian summer resorts. A. W. Smith, Jr., will spend his vaca- tion at his summer cottage, Chautauqua, Pa. George Marshall, of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., leaves this week for Atlantic City. Alfred MeCoyd is making some im- provements at his summer home at West View. Hoo-Hoo. ST. LOUIS. The Market The condition of the market last week was such that almost any kind of a re- port might fit in well. The commission men are receiving quite a lot of stock, but little of it can be classed as first grade. Trade has been only fair. One day they clean up and the next there is plenty left over. The retailers are not stocking up much and only buy as 'M Jdlt 16, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review. Al -::itft;» they need it. Trade among them is light and funeral work in the forenoon is about all the business that is to be had. Prices on stock are low. Extra fancy carnations are out of the ques- tion. Enchantress is about the best that comes in. Fair lots of Beauties are coming in. In other roses, Richmond and Carnot are about the best; Bride and Maid are too soft. Asters are scarce as yet, but will be along soon in abundance. Sweet peas are better in color and longer in stem. Some extra good valley is to be had, and plenty of gladioli. Qub Meeting. The monthly meeting of the Florists' Club, which took place July 9, was well attended, the number present being twen- ty-five. The meeting opened promptly at 2:30, with President W. C. Young in the chair and all officers present. Chairman Schoenle, for the trustees, re- ported everything in readiness for the club 's picnic at Normandy park, Wednes- day, July 15. State Vice-President John Steidle, of the S. A. F., reported on transportation, naming the two lines from here to Niagara Falls, the Big Four and Wabash, the rates on both being the same, $21.40 for round trip, and berths $4 each way. On vote, it was decided that the vice-president should arrange with the Big Four for the trip, to leave St. Louis Monday, August 17, at 1 p. m. on the Knickerbocker special, which will arrive at the Falls at 8:43 a. m. the next morning. If enough go a special car will be set apart for the florists. The following officers were placed in nomination for next year: President, W. C. Young and Walter Retzer; vice- president, Henry Emmons, G. Anger- mueller and Edwin Denker; secretary, A. J. Bentzen; treasurer, F. H. Weber and J. J, Beneke ; trustees, J. F. ' Am- mann, C. Beyer, Charles Fulgraf and George Frow. The next meeting will take place Au- gust 13, at 2 o'clock, when the annual election of officers will occur. President Young and the trustees will make special efforts to have the largest attendance of the year present. Varioui Notes. Henry Russe, formerly in business here, is now located at Lebanon, Mo., where he is putting up several new green- houses. His friends in the trade here wish him success. William Hurley, private gardener for William K. Bixby, reports that he will leave the place September 1. Mr. Bix- by's is the only private place in St. Louis. City Forester Andrew Meyer, Jr., has asked for a special appropriation of $5,000 in order to take better care of the trees throughout the city. The city has now nearly 150 miles of trees which come under his supervision. A. S, Halstead, E. W. Guy and Henry Emmons, of Belleville ; J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville ; Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, and John Steidle, of Central, spent Thursday in the city and all at- tended the meeting of the Florists' Club in the afternoon. The annual Henry Shaw banquet to florists, nurserymen and gardeners will take place next month, the week of the Apple Growers' Congress. John Kalish and bride and Will Os- seck and bride have returned from their honeymoon trips. George Waldbart is cutting a great many outdoor flowers, such as gladioli, asters and sweet peas, from his large country place in Clayton, which came in handy for the large amount of funer- al work last week. Phil Giebel, head of the Compton Hill Reservoir park, says that they will start this week to oil all the driveways in his park. This is one of the prettiest spots in the southern part of the city, and the fine work of Mr. Giebel in the bedding and care of the place is seen at once by those who know. John Burke and Henry Ostertag paid a visit to the Belleville florists Saturday, July 11, and enjoyed a pleasant day. They say the whole craft from there will attend the Florists' Club's picnic this week Wednesday. C. A. Kuehn, Henry Berning, W. C. Smith and George Angermueller donated prizes valued at $5 for the outing; the St. Louis Seed Co., a bird and cage; the correspondent, a year's subscription to the Review for the best bowler among the growers. Mrs. Schoenle and Mrs. Carl Beyer also donated prizes for ladies, and Harry Balsley donated a box of cigars. Many other prizes also are of- fered. Fred Alves, manager at Angermuel- ler's, will this week start on a ten days' vacation, Al. Gunz having returned. O. K. Sanders, son of C. C. Sanders, who is with the Big Four railroad, says he will see to it that all the»florists who attend the S. A. F. convention will re- ceive the best of care going and coming. R. J. Windier and Conrad Bergster- man, on South Grand avenue, have been quite busy of late, working up a great deal of funeral work in large designs. Two employees of A. J. Bentzen were badly injured by an explosion of lime last week, at the Bentzen place on Mar- cus avenue. Both eyes of Eli Mioux were badly burned; the other, Larry Balsty, had both arms and face burned. The lime exploded when it came in contact with the water. Both are improving, though Mr. Mioux will lose the sight of one of his eyes. The St. Louis Horticultural Society has issued the preliminary list of premiums for the fall show. Chairman Sanders, of the executive committee, says the show will be larger than last year and hopes for a financial success. L. Baumann, of Chicago, was a visitor last week. J. J. B. KANSAS QTY. The Market Good stock is scarce. Roses are small and a great many thousands find their way to the rubbish pile. Sweet peas are poor and scarce. Carnations are small as buttons and of poor quality. Asters are good, but as yet are not plentiful. The plants in the field are looking excep- tionally well and the prospect for good asters in the future is fine. Gladioli are fine and they find a ready sale at 4 cents wholesale. There are no dahlias yet, but the bushes look promising. Carnation plants in the fields look exceedingly well. The rainy weather during the spring gave them a good start and they were never better at this time of the year. Some of the growers are commencing this week to clean up their houses and will soon put in the new plants. The low prices of last winter have caused some to be discouraged and they will not plant so many this year. We hope that better prices will prevail next winter. There have been quite a number of bulb orders cut down and some will force very few, as last winter's overproduction was too much for them and the loss was quite heavy to some growers. Variooi Notes. R. S. Brown & Son are busy finishing planting mums. Their ferns are looking fine. They have planted large quantities of white araaryllis or spider Ulies and they find ready sale for the cut blooms, which are made mostly into funeral sprays and look well when made up by one that knows how. R. S. Brown seems to be as well as ever, from the way that he hustles around. He never travels much, as he is always too busy at home, and that is one reason why he has done so well. John Schneider, the old pioneer florist of Kansas City, returned to this city re- cently after a two years' absence. He likes this city best of all, though he has been out west through Washington, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada and Oregon. He also made a trip to Europe, being there two months visiting his old home, where he met his brother, whom he had not seen for forty-five years. He is now showing some beautiful pictures of that country. He has one eye open on a loca- tion for a cut flower store, which he will open this fall. D. Freudenthal is now taking it easy. We understand that he has closed one of his cut flower stores for the summer. One store is all he wants to take care of dur- ing the hot weather. George M. Kellogg is at Battle Creek, Mich., at the sanitarium, for his health, but he is not improving very rapidly. We wish him a speedy recovery. W. H. Humfeld, who has had poor health since last December, is not im- proving very rapidly, and, to make mat- ters worse, he had his right foot severely bruised by a horse stepping on it. He has been confined to his home the last week. The window decoration of the W. L. Rock Flower Co. attracted a great deal of favorable attention Sunday. A large vase of tritoma spikes was the main fea- ture. The Alpha Floral Co. has installed the latest and most up-to-date cash register. There are separate money drawers for nine clerks. It not only registers the time and the amount of sale, but con- tains many other new devices too numer- ous to remember. We are told that it cost $985. We believe that if everybody in this world were honest there would not be any use for such expensive machines, but we also think that any clerk wishing to share some of the profits could do so in spite of such costly machines. The show window, as usual, is full of cut flowers. S. B. Ayers, of Independence, Mo., has two greenhouses of about 2,000 feet of glass and ten acres of good soil. He grows quite a lot of outdoor flowers, such as asters, sweet peas and peonies. He was quite successful last winter in grow- ing sweet peas and he will devote more space to them this fall. He is still quite young and, the way he is going at it, he will make a florist that will be heard from in the future. A. Thornhill, of Rosedale, Kan., can be seen each week at the city market. He often says that he is going to quit and take it easier, but he is like some more of us; as long as there is $100 in sight he is going to get his share of it, so he toils. Lawrence Schwager still holds the fort at Thirteenth street and Grand avenue. 12 The Weekly Florists' Review. July 16, 1908. When we met him he said business was rather slow at present. P. G. Lacey, with the W. H. Humfeld Floral Co., has been quite sick the last two weeks, but we are glad to see him able to be in our midst again. W. H. H. DETROIT. The Market Exceedingly hot weather has killed what little business there was. It has also had its effects on stock, Roses are fair to middling. Carnations are all in. About the best flowers on the market at present are sweet peas. The first lot of asters was seen at the commission house Monday, July 13. Various Notes. The following rates have been procured by our transportation committee from the Detroit & Buffalo line for the round trip to Buffalo during the S. A. F. con- vention: For from ten to fifty delegates, $5 round trip. For from fifty to 100 del- egates, $4, For over 100 delegates, $3.50. State rooms, each carrying three people, $2.50 each way. This rate is for a ten- day limit, delegates returning singly if they so wish, but leaving Detroit in a body for the convention. Ferdinand Kolbe again has the use of his right hand. A cut resulting in blood poisoning disabled him for nearly a month. Being just at the height of the plant season, this meant a serious loss to Mr. Kolbe. While the Tigers were cleaning up their opponents, the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange ball team beat the Detroit Cut Flower Supply House team to a stand- still on Belle Isle Friday, June 10. This time the defeated team took their loss much more to heart than the last time. Louis Charvat was confident his side would win, but, while he put up a good fight, they were no match for the Michi- gan Cut, captained by Robert Rahaley. The feature of the day was Rahaley 's fin^ work as catcher and the rapid fire pitching of Andrew Ferguson, Jr. Well, I nearly forgot the score and I guess Louis wishes I had. Here it is: 19 to 4. Arthur Forth, mascot for the winners, has a set of lungs like an airship. Two of Breitmeyer's staff, Frank Dan- zer and Miss Hattie Holzhauer, are on their vacations. Albert Dilger and his son, of Chicago, are in Detroit visiting with Wm. Dilger, a brother. Mrs. Hugo Schroeter is home again from a long visit in the east. Philip Breitmeyer, who has made an enviable record as park commissioner of this city, oflBcially announced his being a candidate on the republican ticket for nomination for mayor. While some of his friends in the florists' business think he is making a mistake in entering so deeply into the political field, he has the best wishes and support of his numerous frietids in the trade, who all hope, for . the benefit of the whole community, to see him land at his destination far in the lead of his opponents. The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange has commenced the annual house-clean- ing. Hammond's paint is being used to good advantage on the woodwork. B. Schroeter had the decorations at the Light Guard Armory for the large ex- hibit of the Eastman Kodak Co. Harvey Pierce had a valuable gold watch stolen out of his coat pocket dur- ing the ball game on Belle Isle last Fri- day, July 10. Miss Hattie Klagge and Miss C. Rauss, both of Breitmeyer's staff, have just re- turned from a month's vacation. Miss Klagge spent a delightful time in Mount Clemens. Miss Rauss also spent some of the time in the Bath City. The incorporation of the Lohrman Seed Co. was announced in the Legal News under date of June 30. Tlie stockhold- ers are Chas. T. Lohrman, Philip Breit- meyer, Harry Breitmeyer and E. Bleil. Capital stock, all paid, $10,000. The Detroit Florists' Club held its last meeting July 15, at the home grounds of Secretary Sullivan. This was a departure from the usual method, as the meetings are generally held in the club room. The weather being favor- able, it was thought an open air meeting would be more pleasant than an indoor one. H. S. NEVYORK. The Market The market shows no vitality. The severe drought and intense heat continue. Sunday the humidity was unbearable and the temperature 100 degrees, the hottest day of the season. Great damage is done the vegetable crops. Now the po- tatoes are 'feeling the bad effects of the drought and there is little hope for the tomatoes. If heavy rains do not come soon, the loss will be large. Hardly any stock is reaching the mar- ket in roses and carnations. Most of the rose stock of all kinds is barely salable. The street merchants have gone to the summer resorts, so that this outlet is practically closed. The quiet of the country prevails in the wholesale market. After noon all stores are as good as closed. One whole- saler declares it would be a godsend to every department of the business, and a saving of money, to close the doors ab- solutely during July and August. This applies to the retail section also, where receipts cannot meet the item of rent alone. If it were not for the cemeteries, there would be no call for flowers whatever. Society is at the seaside or the mountains. No one marries in July and August. About the only flowers in the whole- sale windows on Monday were the gladi- oli. Local stock is now arriving and prices are retrograding. Before July 25 the old-time summer prices will pre- vail. Even the retail windows, apart from these and water lilies, look barren and unprofitable. Rapidly the stores are growing lonesome, the wholesalers taking their usual summer holiday or gener- ously sending their employees away for needed recreation. Many of the shippers seem to have taken the hint as to the uselessness of paying express charges on stuff that is unsalable and are disposing of it locally or putting it in the discard. It is nonsense to send anything but perfect stock now to the New York wholesale market. A few nice asters are arriving. Lilies have never recovered from the solar plex- us blow given them at Easter. The older wholesalers say this is the severest year ever known in the business in New York, but the signs of the times are not dis- couraging. The tide of prosperity has turned. With the shelving of political ' unrest will come renewed confidence and enterprise. The great harvests now as- sured make continued hard times im- possible, and there is a spirit of optimism everywhere that gives hope and inspira- tion to all. Various Notes. President F. H. Traendly contemplates a trip shortly to Niagara Falls to coop- erate with the other officials in consum- mating all needed arrangements for the convention. • Everybody from New York I speak to concerning the convention seems to be arranging for the holiday. No one can afford to miss it this year and the special train with its seductive comforts will appeal to all. Chairman Rickards is already planning for the comfort of the excursionists. Messrs. O'Mara and Young, of the transportation committee, are busy with arrangements for the en- joyment of all, and our exhibitors in every branch of the trade have already secured space for large displays. John I. Raynor has some good Beau- ties from Newport. The New York and New Jersey plant growers were greatly encouraged by their summer outing and contemplated another reunion shortly, with one of the famous shore fish dinners. The young horticulturists of the city are now being drilled and taught by Superintendent Hanna, of the Rockefel- ler Institute, in the mysteries of raising vegetables of all kinds, at the acre plots set aside by the public schools for va- cation work, and wonderfully interest- ing and instructive these miniature farms become under the enthusiastic culture of the school children. These schools con- tinue until October. Emil Schloss and family are at Asbury Park, N. J., for the summer. Mr. Schloss will be at the convention with a large exhibit, as usual. George Saltford is entertaining his brother and family, from Poughkeepsie, this week and will shortly enjoy his an- nual outing at his old home at Rhine- beck. Sidney Wertheimer landed in Europe July 9, and will visit the silk manufac- 'tories of France and Switzerland while away. His trip will continue until the middle of August and the firm says there will be many novelties in the exhibit at Niagara Falls. O. v. Zangen is busy at his seed farm in Jersey. He has several acres of his new salvia, Zurich, and his improved compacta, Fireball, and says his business for the year has been most satisfac- tory. C. B. Knickman, with McHutchison & Co., has just returned from a west- ern trip, visiting as far as the coast. One of his orders was a four-car importa- tion contract from Clarke Bros., of Portland, Ore. Mr. Knickman leaves for a business and pleasure trip to Europe next week, his first foreign experience. Lyman Joslin, gardener of Richmond Hill, N. J., is in St. Mary's hospital, Jamaica, suffering from a serious cut in the throat, inflicted by a vegetable knife used by himself while temporarily de- ranged. J. E. Fenrich and family are at As- bury Park. W. H. Donohoe and family are now summering at College Point. Their resi- dence is close to the scene of the big fire that swept away some of the beach hotels and resorts and crept close to Wetzel's, ..f V. ■ ■■ ( July 16, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 13 where the Florists' Club holds its yearly outings. Jos. Levy and family are away for their holiday in the Catskills. John Selig- man and wife, of the same firm, will enjoy their outing in Sullivan county, as usual. Grandpa Nugent is entertaining his daughter and baby on their annual visit from South Dakota. Mr. Nugent 's son- in-law, at one time in his employ, is now president of a mining company, at Gold- field, Net. Bowling. As usual, a number of visitors attended the Friday evening contest at Thumm's alleys, July 10.

J. Austin Shaw. CHNONNATL The Market. Everything is moving along slowly and quietly, in the regular summer rut. There are few good flowers coming in and the demand can hardly be noticed. Lilies and Beauties are about the only flowers that there is any call for, and they are scarce on this market. The weather con- ditions have been against outdoor sweet peas and the quality of those coming in is poor, as they have such short stems. A few good carnations are seen, and also a few roses, of which the Kaiserins head the list. Brides and Maids are so poor as to be scarcely available even for fu- neral work. Asters are coming more plentifully and the quality is better, but there is no large call for them. Only white ones are in 80 far. Colored ones would sell better just now. There is quite a lot of valley on the market and it is of good quality, but. it sells cheap ahd poorly at that. Outdoor flowers, such as sweet alyssum, candytuft, feverfew and like varieties of flowers for funeral work, sell well, but at the usual low prices. In greens we are well supplied, having good quantities of smilax, plumosus in strings and bunches, and also Sprengeri. Hardy ferns are fine now. We still have leucothoe sprays, and both green and bronze galax. Qub Meeting. A regular meeting of the Florists' So- ciety was held in the club room July 11 and was well attended. E. G. Gillett reported that the Con- vention League had agreed to help out the florists in case we secured the S. A. F. convention in 1909. They were anxious for the convention to come here. The report was received with a great deal of enthusiasm by the members of the so- ciety. Strenuous efforts are being made to have a large delegation of Cincinnati florists attend the convention at Niagara Falls and, owing to a happy coincidence, it is possible for the florists of this city and those near-by to take advantage of an excursion rate which happens to be in force from this city at that time. E. G. Gillett stands ready to give full informa- tion to all who desire it, as to this rate, and I would advise all those who intend to go from this district to address him at 114 East Third street, and he will ex- plain to them how they can save from $5 to $7 on the rate. One of the important things which came up was the indorsement by the society of E. G. Gillett for the office of vice-president of the S. A. F., and they intend to work to this end with all of the energy which they possess. Not only do we want the S. A. F. to come to this city in 1909, but we also want to have one of the officers of said society in this city and we will work to that end to the best of our ability. Various Notes. The tickets for the florists' outing are now ready and can be purchased at any of the wholesale houses or from any of the picnic committee. From the way things look now, the outing will be a great success this year. Everyone seems to be right in for it and is anxiously waiting for the day to arrive. Do not forget to purchase your tickets from some florist, for we do not get any credit from tickets purchased at the boat land- ing. The time for vacations is at hand and preparations are noted on all sides among those who are fortunate enough to be able to get away. Nick Weber and fam- ily are getting ready to leave July 20, for their annual trip to Milwaukee, Chi- cago and Benton Harbor,^ via Lake Mich- igan. They will be away two weeks. Fred Gear is planning to go to At- lantic City shortly, returning to Niagara Falls in time for the convention, from which ho wants to take a trip down the St. Lawrence river. C. E. Critchell has been on the sick list, having been confined to his home for several days during last week. Charles Brunner has purchased twenty- two acres of land on Foley road, near Fischer avenue. This land adjoins E. Witterstaetter's place and, in fact, en- tirely surrounds it. Mr. Brunner expects to go in heavily for outdoor hardy stock, beginning to plant at once, and in the course of a year he will erect a large range of glass, making a specialty of roses of all kinds for cut flowers and plants. He is associated at present with his brothers, their plant being located on Fifth avenue. Price Hill, where for many years they have done a flourishing and profitable business. This firm has made a specialty for many years of forcing hybrid roses and teas for the spring plant trade, and the quality of their out- put is known throughout the country. With this experience to back him, Mr. Brunner is already assured of success in his new undertaking. He will continue with the old firm for the present. Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Critchell announce the engagement of their daughter Grace Davis to John C. Tracy, of Chicago. The wedding will take place at the home of the bride's parents, August 5. They also announce the engagement of their daughter Katherine Eaton to Dr. Robert W. Morris, also of Chicago. The date of the wedding will be announced later. H. E. Mitting, formerly carnation grower for W. K. Partridge, has pur- chased the establishment of the Wilming- ton Floral Co., of Wilmington, 0., and will continue the business, making a spe- cialty of fine carnations. Park Superintendent J. W. Rodgers is now making his rounds in an automobile. After two years he has been able to persuade the board to get one for the park department. J. F. Pogue has bought out the busi- ness of Huntsman & Co., located at 609 Walnut street, and will continue it in. his own name. Mr. Pogue was the part- ner in the business, but finally decided to buy out Mr. Huntsman's interest in the store. B. P. Critchell has been put to con- siderable inconvenience, as well as loss, by the breaking of a sewer in his local- ity. The contents of the sewer mixed with the water which he was obliged to use for watering, and as a consequence he has lost large numbers of aster plants which were bidding fair to produce a large crop of fine blooms. C. J. OHMiE. OBITUARY. Rudolph Reynden. Rudolph Reynders, of Oil City, Pa., was struck by a Lake Shore passenger train, at the Main street crossing, Sat- urday night, July 4, and was fatally injured. He was carried into the passen- ger station and later taken to the hos- pital, where his death occurred shortly after 2 o'clock on the following morn- ing. Mr. Reynders was born in Lancaster, Pa., September 18, 1865, and removed to Oil City twelve years ago from Buffalo, N. Y. He secured employment in the National Transit shops, and with his savings started the greenhouses near the St. Joseph and Grove Hill cemeteries, which have been a success from the start. On November II7 1897, he was married to Miss Rose Good, of Oil City, who, with two children, Katherine, aged 6, and Harry, aged 4, survive. He is also survived by his aged father, H. W. Reynders, of Lancaster, Pa., and by two brothers and three sisters, John, of Kingstown, and Bert, Helen, Mary and Mrs. James Amstett, all of Lancaster. He was a member of the C. M. B. A., of the Modern Woodmen of America and of the Knights of the Maccabees. Carl R. Pfennig. Carl R. Pfennig, a florist and land- scape gardener of Jamaica Plain, Bos- ton, Mass., died Saturday, June 27, at the City hospital of pneumonia, after a brief illness, aged 54 years. He leaves a widow and one son. Mr. Pfennig conducted a florist's business at 380 Ashland street, and had resided in that neighborhood for many years. He was a member of the German Order of Harugari. Mrs. Alfred Pahud. Adele J. Pahud, wife of Alfred Pahud, of Indianapolis, died July 6, after an ill- ness that had lasted for more than three months. She was buried the following Thursday in Crown Hill cemetery, with- in a few hundred feet of the home she had occupied for nearly twenty years. For years she had taken orders for flow- ers that were laid on the graves of those buried at Crown Hill. Mrs. Pahud was 53 years of age. She was a woman of much sweetness of char- acter. A year ago she and her husband celebrated their silver wedding anniver- sary. The event was attended by many Indianapolis people. Mrs. Pahud was a native of Alsace-Lorraine, France. She came to Indianapolis a young woman twenty-six years ago, and, six months after her arrival there, was married to Alfred Pahud. She is survived by her husband and three children, Louise, Alfred and Harry Pahud.

SOCIETY OF AHEBICAN FLORISTS. Incoepobated by Act or Congeess Mabch 4, '01 Officers for 1908: President, F. H. Traendly, New York; vice-president, George W. McClure, Buffalo; secretary, Willis N. Rudd, Morgan Park, 111.; treasurer, H. B. Beatty, Pittsburg. Annual convention, Niagara Falls, August 18 to 21, 1908. First National Flower Show, Chicago, Novem- ber 9 to 16, 1908; W. F. Kasting, Buffalo, chairman. The early birds, who want to catch the nice fat worm this fall, are well along with the benching of carnation plants. A aoiETiNO of window-glass manufac- turers was held at Cleveland July 9, at which it was decided to advance the price of their product ten and twenty per cent. The president of the manufacturers' as- sociation said : * * The price dropped thir- ty-three per cent the last eight months. Manufacturing practically has ceased. The raise is to take care of increased demand. ' ' The John C. Moninger Co. calls atten- tion to the fact that a number of grow- ers who have ordered pecky cypress for bench material do not appear to under- stand the character of the wood and ob- ject to it because of its appearance. From other sources there are similar re- ports, and it has occurred that shipments have been refused because of the mis- taken idea that the lumber was not good. The Eeview has for some years urged growers to use pecky cypress instead of hemlock for benches. While the "worm holes" in pecky make it look bad, it really outlasts the best hemlock by sev- eral times. COUNCIL OF HORTICULTURE. H. C. Irish, who has been the leader in the work of the National Council of Hor- ticulture, has the following letter from F. W. Taylor, who was Chief of Horticul- ture at the St. Louis World's Fair and who is now engaged in irrigation work at Denver: "I have been much pleased to note the progress being made by the National Council of Horticulture and particularly that it has maintained the position which it assumed at the start, of separating it- self entirely from any organizations which deal purely with commercial ques- tions. "I was extremely pleased that the National Council of Horticulture was or- ganized at the St. Louis exposition and I have been watching its movements with a good deal of interest to see if it could maintain its original high aims. I feel that it is doing so and I trust that in the future it will interest itself particularly in looking after those questions of a gen- eral nature which can scarcely be treated properly by any other single organization. "If, in organizing the Department of Horticulture at the St. Louis Universal Exposition, I had been able to receive ad- vice, suggestions and support of such an organization, many phases of my work might have been much easier and I have no doubt that in certain respects better results could have been secured. "I wish to particularly suggest that whenever it is learned that plans for large expositions are under way, the Na- tional Council of Horticulture should place itself in communication with the officers of such organizations and do everything in its power to see that hor- ticulture in all its phases is properly ar- ranged for. This means in the construc- tion and arrangement of buildings, in the making up of the lists of awards; and in many other ways a more or less uniform method should be followed. No organi- zation should be so well equipped to sup- ply all such information as this, as the National Council of Horticulture. "If at any time there is any way in which I can render any service in any branch of the work in which it is believed that I can be helpful, I shall be ex- tremely glad to have you call upon me." THE DISCOUNT FOR ICE. Eegarding your article, "An Express Discount," it seems to me that Mr. Reid is perfectly right in his claim that ship- pers of cut flowers, who have to use ice m order to keep their stock in good con- dition, are entitled to the same rate of discount as are shippers of cut ferns or cape jasmine. Mr. Beid seems to have done the right thing in bringing this matter to the at- tention of the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, although I thxnk it might have been as well to have brought this matter to the attention of the S. A. F. and have the society take the same course as it did in the matter of excessive express rates. Frank H. Traendly. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

The Great Central Market It is pleasant to note that the increase in trade shown in the latter part of June is holding in July. This must not be interpreted to mean that ti-ade is heavier than it has been, for of course it is much lighter, but it is better by comparison with last year's records. Naturally, con- ditions of supply have a large bearing upon the results in individual houses, but in general business for July is excellent; the commission houses are almost unani- mous in reporting a good increase thus far in the month as compared with the same period last year. The business in summer has shown an increase for several years and a good many growers now are catering to the summer demand; also there are more farmer shippers, the men who have sum- mer flowers but no glass, so that there are increased supplies as compared with previous summers. Of course, increased supply does not always mean increased cash receipts, but it looks as though it would have that meaning again this year, as well as in recent summers. While buyers are not asking for large quanti- ties of stock, they all are appearing in the market and conditions generally are first-class for the season. The houses which handle only mate- rial grown usder glass are now at about the lowest point of the year as regards supply, but the houses which have out- door stock are right in it. The Beauty crops are slowly increasing and of Kil- lamey, Richmond and Kaiserin there are fair receipts, but not many Maid and Bride. Good roses are selling well, if at midsummer prices. The carnations are holding out much better than they usually do in summer. Many growers are replanting, but there still are enough carnations to go around, and the quality is splendid for July. Out- door asters are expected to make their appearance shortly. They are in request only among the buyers who do not realize how good carnations are. There still are a few peonies. Auratum lilies are in large supply and of splendid quality. Candidums are done and not many longiflorums are now in. Gladioli are in good supply and selling excel- lently; even the poorest are finding a fair market, while the best are bringing fine prices. However, the annual flood of these flowers is not far away and prices are likely to go down suddenly. Sweet peas may not be quite as abundant as a week ago, but there still are enough so that the street boys are peddling them at cheap prices. The leading retailers are using the better grade of sweet peas in quantity; they give excellent satisfac- tion to the customer and a fine profit for the retailer. There is increased demand for green, not only ferns but bronze galax moving briskly. The Picnic. Next Sunday, July 19, is the date of the Florists' Club's annual picnic and the prospect is for a big crowd, even larger than last year. Trains leave the Union depot. Canal and Adams streets, at 9 a. m. and 12:40 p. m., but don't fail to buy your ticket of a florist and not at the depot ticket office. The com- 16 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Jolt 16, 1008.

Mr. Anderson had samples of begonias and established a selling agency with the E. F. Winterson Co. Kennicott Bros. Co. has been receiving outdoor-grown America gladioli and found them ready sale at 10 cents. Percy Jones says that it will pay grow- ers to band over the summer stock to the farmers, because the greenhouse man cannot compete with the farmer in any event, and because the time might much better be devoted to getting ready for winter, when the farmer is out of it. In- cidentally Mr. Jones thinks the farmers may eventually get tired of growing sweet peas to be jobbed off for 1 cent per bunch and drop out, when it will pay the florist to handle outdoor crops again. Scheiden & Schoos, at Evanston, have their place about half planted with car- nations from the field. They are this year growing Victory, Beacon, Aristo- crat, White Perfection, Lawson-Enchant- ress, Sarah Hill and 25,000 of their un- named red seedling. W. S.

Markets, commission houses and stores all present a half deserted appear- ance. Flowers, such as there are, will far more than fill the light calls made for them. A good proportion of them are arriving in an almost useless condition. Of both roses and carnations a good quantity still arrive, but the bulk, owing to the heat, are small and many are either unsold or disposed of at almost any price obtainable. Sweet peas, owing to continued drought, are short-stemmed. Bather more asters are coming in. These include some Comet, pink and white. For such other flowers as are seen the de- mand is so erratic that it is difficult to quote any prices. Asparagus, smilax and adiantum are all in light demand. Variotit Notes. The happiest man in Brookline these days is Duncan Finlayson. The cause is a daughter, born July 7. Eeports received from several carna- tion growers in Massachusetts indicate a larger proportion than usual affected with stem-rot this season. Farquhar & Co. report a satisfactory seed business. In nursery stock, while the large orders aggregating thousands of dollars were lacking this season, there was a great increase in those of moderate size. The intense heat and prolonged drought are having a serious effect on market gar- den crops in this section. Those who have irrigating facilities are doing well. Carnations are smaller than usual at this date. Boston registered 97 degrees in the shade July 12. The picnic of the Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club at Pine Bank park.

The Riiins Eastern Market Business conditions are but slightly changed from those of a week ago. The inoticeable changes are the increase in the quantity of asters, which is quite m&rked, and of gladioli. There are also some superb sweet peas coming from a dis- tance. The rose situation has been changed by the addition of more locally- grown summer Beauties, which, at times, when they are not overbroiled, are excel- lent. Killarney from local growers is also better, being a fit companion for the really good Kaiserins that we have at nearly all times. Gaskelliana is the reign- ing cattleya of the day, while valley can at all times be depended on for fair qual- ity. In the lilies, auratum is still ex- cellent, and cold storage bulbs of longi- liorum are producing finer flowers today than one often sees in midsummer. Car- nations are rarely seen in quantity — only a few nice bunches here and there, chief- ly white, with some Enchantress, Ethel Crocker, and occasionally Harry Fenn. Locally-grown sweet peas are mostly poor. The outdoor flowers have suffered from drought. There is some seashore shipping business and some funeral work. The Reopening of ** 104."

Mr. Faust stated that it is their purpose to open a first-class store and conduct it in a style worthy of the best patronage in this city. Mr. G)wee*s Visit. Arthur Cowee, of Meadowvale Farm, Berlin, N. Y., spent a few hours in this city on his way from Atlantic City to New York on the evening of July 7. Mr. Cowee came in response to an invitation to speak on the gladiolus before the Flo- rists' Club. Fortunately, the hour pre- vious to his leaving Atlantic City had been spent swimming in the cool Atlantic, a fit preparation for the unprecedented torrid wave which enveloped Philadelphia on that day and for several days before. A small but select audience, embracing many of the leading members of the club, gathered to meet Mr. Cowee. His paper, which appeared in the Review last week, was listened to with marked attention and eUcited a hearty round of applause at its completion. Mr, Cowee 's manner was direct and forceful; his handling of the subject, that of a master. After the paper he exhibited a series of gladiolus slides, painted for him by Mrs. Cornelius Van Brunt, of New York, who has done such excellent work for the New York Horticultural Society. These slides, some forty or fifty in number, were most beau- tiful, bringing out the exquisite colors of the gladiolus with surprising fidelity. It is doubtful whether any of the club members present had ever seen lantern slides of such rare quality. After the exhibition Mr. Cowee an- swered a number of questions put to him by the members regarding the Groff hy- brids and his Meadowvale Farm. Later, in conversation, Mr. Cowee spoke enter- tainingly of the labor problem which for- merly confronted him at Berlin. Labor is scarce at Meadowvale Farm, which is some miles out of Berlin. In order to meet the increasingly heavy demands of harvesting the gladiolus bulbs in the fall, Mr. Cowee conceived the idea of putting hoboes who apply for work at this task. The first fall five or six hoboes came and were employed; they were paid $1.50 a day and charged a nominal price for their firewood and for a blanket, being housed first in tents and later in portable houses. Mr. Cowee gave them a good talking to when engaging them and a chicken dinner at the country hotel when dismissing them, shaking hands with each as he paid him off. This gave him the name of a ' ' good fellow ' ' in hobo land, and a cou- ple of years later — last fall — an enormous number of hoboes appeared and were put to work harvesting the gladiolus bulbs. Mr. Cowee further explains this solution of his difficulty by adding that the work is not very hard and that it comes at a time of the year when the hoboes must have money to carry them through the winter or go to a public institution, which they particularly dislike. This is merely an instance of the way in which Mr. Cowee meets problems as they come up. The Latest Plant Wrinkles. Robert Craig kindly took a half hour to give Phil some ideas of what is being done in plant growing. I say kindly be- cause it unfortunately happened that Phil arrived a few minutes before Mr. Craig's luncheon hour, and being very busy indeed, he sternly refused to con- sider that important home festival and Mrs. Craig's feelings under the circum- stances.

The method of growing cyclamens has changed decidedly this season. The Rob- ert Craig Co. has put up two houses, one 12x225, the other 12x200, especially for these plants. These houses are arranged with slat tops — the tops that were used on the frames. These slats are placed in position every morning at 9 a. m. and removed about 5 p. m., thus giving the cyclamens as much light as possible, with- out the direct rays of the sun. On both sides of each house for the entire length are doors on hinges, which are left down during mild weather, thus admitting a free circulation of air immediately over the top of the plants. Both houses have been piped with the intention of flower- ing the cyclamens therein. The plants grown under these conditions aje in splendid shape, sturdy and vigorous, in medium sized pots, placed on tobacco stems. The cyclamen strain is from seed saved -on the place, from the best varie- ties of the past years. This seed is col- lected chiefly with a view to early flower- ing (cyclamens at Christmas are what you want), and to their colors and free- dom of bloom. Mr. Craig believes he has something very choice, and there is every indication that his belief is well founded. The Politics of Flowers, Not many days ago it was stated on reliable authority that five prominent business men of this city had been gath- ered together in one afternoon at Wynd- moor. It was asserted on the Street, that fertile field of information, that these five members of the profession had gone to Myers & Samtman's, at Wynd- moor, for a definite purpose. The Street had various conjectures as to what that purpose might be, because the five stand so high in floricultural circles that it felt sure there was something doing that would prove of general interest. The five referred to were Henry Bauer, Frank Gaul, Charles E. Meehan, Leo Niessen and Samuel S. Pennock. Myers & Samt- man are so prominent as Beauty growers that the Street at once jumped to the conclusion that the distribution of Beau- ties was under consideration. It was generally known that John Burton would be King Bee in the local Beauty market THE Florists' Supply Houss of America Rustic Decorations We suggest that you can attract summer business by offering Boxes, Baskets, Ferneries and Plant Stands covered with cork or birch bark.

Could it possibly be that this was an effort pro and con re- garding the dispensing of the Beauty crop of Myers & Samtman, or, to be more explicit, were the accredited representa- tives of a certain attractive young man endeavoring to make it clear to growers and wholesalers that the welfare of the city market required that a certain pro- portion of the Beauty crop of the city should reach him direct. A representative of the most progressive florists' paper called on Frank P. Myers and asked him whether he was going to send all, or any portion, of his American Beauties direct to the buyers next season. Mr. Myers smiled pleasantly and answered at once, "Any man who seriously considers doing such a thing should have trustees ap- pointed for him at once." Various Notes.

AMERICAN SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION. Pres., Watson 8. Woodruff, Orange, Conn.; First Vice-pres., J. C. Robinson, Waterloo. Neb.; Sec'y andTreas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. Once more the harvest season is at hand. Turnip seed is in strong demand at present. Michigan radish seed crops are doing well, according to last reports. The onion set crop at Louisville prom- ises to be equal to last year, and perhaps better than it was last year. Reports generally from the pea grow- ing sections indicate that fair crops of all varieties will be harvested. Sweet peas for seed in England are generally ripening a light crop because of long continued dry weather. Traveling men in the seed line are reporting good business. The outlook for the coming year is very satisfactory. The stand of beans at most of the growing points is reported fair and weather conditions generally are good at present. Seedsmen will be interested in the note on "Sweet Peas in California" on page 8 of this issue, and the illustration on page 9. The favorable weather of the last week in the vicinity of Chicago has added much to the appearance of the onion set crop. The general condition of vine crops is reported to be backward, but the weather has improved and the outlook is much better than it has been. The Albert Dickinson Co., Chicago, does so large a business in grass seeds that a small item like a few carloads of pop-corn, sold to the poppers, attracts little attention. Onion seed fields in the vicinity of Chicago give promise of large yields, and reports from other central western sec- tions bear out previous predictions that this locality is well adapted for this crop. I. L. Hill, proprietor of Hill's Seed Store, Phoenix, Ariz., has moved into a new and larger building on North Center street. He is putting in new fixtures throughout and says the business of the last season justifies a considerable in- crease in his facilities. E. J. Sheap, of S. M. Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich., sends a decidedly favor- able preliminary report as to the condi- tion of pea crops; a good yield is indi- cated. Radish also promises well so far. Beans, cucumber, muskmelon and sweet <'orn are not far enough advanced as yet to judge, but are looking well. FIELD SEEDS Prices subject to varia- tions.

Quarters have been leased. The government's July crop report made the condition of corn and wheat ap- pear more favorable than had been an- ticipated, while private advices are to the effect that there has been improve- ment in July. The Barteldes Seed Co., Lawrence, Kan., has published a 16-page booklet, by Adolf Kruhm, entitled "The Story of Alfalfa," which is being distributed free to farmers. It is well calculated to increase the sale of seeds, and in 1907 Kansas alone had 743,000 acres in al- falfa. The report from Hamburg is that the season promises an excellent crop of val- ley pips, both as to quantity and quality, but that orders are not so heavy as last year. Not only in the United States but in England and Germany there remain considerably larger quantities of pips in cold storage than are usual at this date.

In re- cent years there has been a steadily rising market at Hamburg for first-class pips, for the supply was not equal to the de- mand, but now it looks as though some readjustment might occur — at least, a better grade of stock may be expected if present conditions exist for long. NEED FOR PREPAREDNESS. In his address as president of the American Seed Trade Association George S. Green referred to the necessity for the preparation which will put the asso- ciation in a position to influence action when congress undertakes the revision of the tariff next fall. The trade will then have the opportunity of supplying defi- nite information of a character to se- cure the elimination of the embarrassing features of the present law. Mr. Green's paragraph on this subject was as fol- lows : "As there has been no revision of the tariff during the past year, there has been no necessity for special action on the part of the committee on tariff and customs, but since the question of tariff revision seems likely to have attention in congress in the near future, it is essential that our committee be ready to furnish information to the con- gressional committee which will have this matter in charge. After my experience this spring as to the diflSculty of doing 26 The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 16, 1908. such work during the rush of the seed season, I am impressed with the im- portance of having this subject studied during the next Six months by a com- petent committee, which should make definite report to the next executive com- mittee meeting, so that the wishes of the seed trade may be properly presented in the most effective manner at the proper time. In this connection I wish to in- dorse the suggestion of my predecessor, Mr. Wood, as to the desirability of spe- cific duties, in preference to ad valorem duties. ' ' PARCEL-POST TO HOLLAND.

The arrival of the first of the season 'a crop of Harrisii bulbs on the last boat from Bermuda again turns attention to that important item, the Easter lily. This year there is no cry of scarcity, although it is impossible to say at this date what the crop, counting all types of bulbs, will turn out to be; the sources of supply are now so scattered that even the most indefatigable of travelers cannot inspect them all. However, the most re- liable reports point to increased output, especially in the new fields — Formosa, the Azores and possibly other places not yet exploited. In Bermuda further progress is said to have been made in eradicating the mix- tures and disease. The larger growers have come to appreciate that the survival of the industry depends upon the em- ployment of the most careful methods and it is said the fields in bloom this spring presented an appearance of uni- formity that was a pleasing indication of progress. The smaller growers are said to be getting into line under the lash of necessity wielded by the buyers. The main shipment is due about July 24 and will show a somewhat increased percent- age of the larger sizes. The crops this year will probably be a little greater than last year.

The crop in the Azores (possibly 500,- •000 bulbs) is yet too small to cut much figure in the world's supply, but is in- creasing and of good quality. Those who have forced these bulbs are well pleased with them. European markets get a good part of the crop. Japan now supplies the major part of the Easter lily bulbs. Many are grown by small farmers, a few thousands here, a few thousands there, over a consider^ able territory, so that it is difficult for the exporters themselves, to say nothing of foreign firms, to keep track of the methods employed; and hence, probably, the complaint which has attended the flowering of last year's crop of bulbs. There were large losses of longiflorum multiflorum, but giganteum did much bet- ter and the demand has centered on it, with the result that prices on giganteum and multiflorum are rather wide apart. One of the best informed men in the trade says this year's output of multiflo- rum will be not so large as last year in number, with an increase of giganteum, and that in time prices will gradually draw together again. Formosa promises to figure largely by another year. Last season the crop there was only a drop in the bucket; this year it is 175,000, according to a man who was there at planting time. The first plant- ing there was true Jap longiflorum and for two seasons the Formosa bulbs that have come to the United States have given such good results that this year's crop has sold quickly. Those interested in the Formosa product have used every endeavor to hold the stock true, but it is said a few of other types already have appeared there, which simply goes to show how hard it is to hold on to a good thing in this big and envious world. At least one house has been offering "a few cases of longiflorums from a place not yet exploited that turned out fine last year, " so it may be that soon still other sources of supply will have to be reckoned with, for of course the ex- istence of such a crop is not to be ques- tioned. Leading handlers of bulbs say that the advance orders for bulbs are about as last year from those who grow for their own trade, but that the big growers for city markets are not ordering so many as last year. But with the perfection of the cold storage process the marketing of longiflorum bulbs has come to be an all- vear-round affair and the importers, with full faith in a large increase in business activity later in the year, feel secure in the ultimate result.

Harris, super- intendent of the Public Garden at Hamil- ton, Bermuda, wrote a letter which found its way into print in a trade paper and has made him the object of some harsh criticism. Among other things he said: "Since I have been here, I have given the subject (Harrisii bulbs) very careful consideration, and I feel sure the florists of America will welcome the news that their interests are being watched in Ber- muda. Some two or three of our largest growers, I am glad to say, can now guar- antee their stock as absolutely pure Har- risii; these of course sell privately to the large nurseries. A large number of cases are sold in the open market and the flo- rist who purchases them is entirely in the hands of the packer." The growers who do not feel that they are included in the "some two or three who can guarantee their stock and sell privately," take this altogether too seri- ously, for one of them says in a letter to the local RoyaJ Gazette: "Numbers of us who possessed lily stock which hitherto has found a fair market, now possess a quantity of material upon which we have expended some time and labor, only to find it is utterly unsalable. ' ' If the grower's stock really is "ut- terly unsfilable," which is open to ques- tion, few vdll be ready to credit that it is because of what Mr. Harris said. But there can be no doubt he did not increase his popularity among the bulb growers of his island, unless it be with the ones who think they were meant by "some two or three," etc.; the following in the Royal Gazette of July 7 sounds as though it might have been written by one of them: "The Superintendent of the Public Garden appears to be, just at present, the object of a most bitter attack. Now, I hold no brief for Mr. Harris, but I think it is desirable that the facts of the case should be laid before the pub- lic, who seem likely to be misled by the biased statements of certain parties who are financially interested. "I have heard the argument put for- ward that instead of writing the subject up in an American paper, Mr. Harris should have gone round to the farmers and laid the facts before them, and that they (i. e., the farmers) did not know that it mattered whether they shipped bulbs of Lilium Harrisii or bulbs of L. longiflorum. Such an argument as this is, on the face of it, absurd. For the last six or seven years both Mr. Harris and his predecessor have been urging growers to eliminate everything but type Harrisii from their stocks ^nd to ship nothing but the genuine Bermuda lily, and several of the largest growers have been doing their utmost to carry out this advice. Unfortunately, L. Harrisii throws very little stock, while L. longiflorum in- creases very rapidly, with the result that unless a grower knows what he is about and carefully weeds out every bulb not absolutely true to type, in the course of a very few years he will have practically nothing but L. longiflorum stock planted in his fields. Many of the growers have in the past been careless about this and ■aHDHnBDHnHDMnaaBQ ■aBaaaBaHDanHniQan MnHnHDHnanHDHaHnH I m^ COLD STORAGE 1 ■ □ ■ n ■ □ M n -m a u Q M □ ■ n H Q H □ ■ D H a ■ LIlilJM SPECIOSUMS and AIR4TUMS Potted in July, will flower for Christmas.

For many years thousands of bulbs have been shipped from Bermuda marked L. Har- risii on the cases, which were not L. Har- risii at all, but were either type longiflo- rum or another inferior variety. In other words, to be plain and not mince matters, these bulbs were deliberately marked with a false description and were not of the nature and quality demanded by the buyer. The result of this fraudu- lent packing has been that the Bermuda lily trade is now in a fair way to follow the tomato and onion and potato trades, which have all either been killed out- right or severely damaged by this same careless packing.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 79 %LILIUM HARRISII = WK OVFER A SELECTED STOCK OF THE ORIGINAL, TRUE HARRISII FOR EARLT FORCING. These bulbs have been grown from the original pure Harrisii, and will be found to be splendid stock for early forcing, for which pur- pose Harrisii is so valuable. We have had the stock inspected, and are assured that it is almost absolutely pure and almost entirely free from disease. This is not stock picked up indiscriminately from differ- ent sources, but is grown from one stock and will be found very supe- rior to the ordinary Harrisii usually offered, both in regard to free- dom fi'om disease and purity, and not the late type now so often furnished. Lilium Harrisii has been deteriorating slowly for years, and in order to get back to the true type of the original Harrisii, we have had our stock grown from the original pure stock and it will be found very superior to the Lilium Harrisii usually offered. • While the stock is A-No. 1, our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices asked for indifferent stock. We have only a limited quantity of thi* stock to offer so it will be advisable to place orders without delay in order to insure securing this stock. iiifi Bulbs ready tor delivery middle to last of July. 8— 7-inch Bulbs, SSO to the case ..^i*. $ 6.00 per 100; $ 50.00 per 1000. 7-0 9-11 200 100 9.00 18.00 80.00 170.00 Ni" Full case lots at 1000 rate.'

XT "TTT ■r from doing any harm to Bermuda lily trade, Mr. Harris 's letter is likely to have a very beneficial effect and it would even appear to be desirable topass a law mak- ing it an indictable offense to sell L. longitlorum as L. Harrisii. "The lesson to be drawn from the results of the last few years is that the Bermuda farmer has got to give up his old rule of thumb methods and careless packing and follow in the footsteps of his brother farmers in other lands. If he does not wish to go to the wall alto- gether, he has got to learn to farm sci- entifically and to grade and pack his produce carefully. Instead of trying to raise an enormous crop of onions for which he cannot find a market, he will have to go in for intensive farming and raise small crops of high-grade produce, for which he can find a market. First- class stuff carefully packed and graded will alWays find a sale when inferior stuff is quite unsalable. This is a lesson which the Bermuda farmer has got to take to heart, or in the very near future he will be in a worse plight than he is at the present time, if such be possible.

The Market During the week from July 5 to 12 business assumed a steady gait and everybody was kept going, if not at a great speed. There is really nothing going to waste except the poor grades of carnations. Sweet peas are arriving in great quantities, but only the long- stemmed ones are wanted. The few out- door asters that come in are short- stemmed, which is due, no doubt, to the dryness which prevailed right after they were planted. Variotis Notes* The Baumgarten Floral Co. reports business good at its new store. Fifth street and Grand avenue, and also at the Hotel Pfister. The M. A. McKenney Co., at 417 Mil- waukee street, reports more work for weddings in July this year than was ex- pected, and more than in previous sea- sons. Both J. M. Fox, just across the street from the McKenney Co., and the Edlef- sen-Leidiger Co. say that they were kept busy straight through the week, in all lines. Walter Halliday, the boss behind the countfcr at Pollworth's, is spending his vacation fishing at Fox Lake. By the time these notes appear in print, the Holton & Hunkel Co. will have its three rose houses planted, and one house in green goods, mainly plumosus. Mr. Hunkel spends most of his time at Brown Deer, getting things into good shape. C. C. PoUworth stated that they will use reinforced concrete benches in their new houses and have engaged a local cement contractor to supervise the work, to begin July 13. The Holton & Hunkel Co. had an order for 8,000 carnations July 13, for St. Paul. No doubt the Shriners* conclave created the demand for these. The window-boxes at the city hall, river front and other places have, accord- ing to reports, created quite a demand for them and they are more numerous than ever before.

The best meeting, from a business and social standpoint, ever held by the club was the July meeting at T. H. Kramer's greenhouses. His large potting shed was artistically decorated. The bunting, flags and Japanese lanterns, with the pyra- mids of nice new pots, made it look like an exhibition hall at a convention. There were forty-two members present and the following new members were elected: George Comly, J. Lensberger, Charles Kramer, J. Watson, Geo. E. Dalgris, Herbert Wright and John D. Robinson, Jr. The committee on convention reported that they tad secured a rate of $17.50 for the round trip, good for twenty days. Thirty members present expected to go in one party. This will probably be in- creased to forty-five. The same committee as last year was appointed for the chrysanthemum show, the date to be about November 1.5 and George Cooke to be superintendent of the show. The committee has a guar- antee fund of $500. Tbe same committee on annual outing was reappointed, with George Shaflfer as chairman. Arrangements have been made to go to Great Falls, Va., July 24. All the stores will close half a day. Wm. F. Gude extended an invitation to the club to meet on his lawn next month and be his guests after the meet- ing, which was accepted. After the adjournment and a rising vote of thanks to Mr. Kramer for his entertainment of the club, all members were furnished with an ice-cold 4-inch pot, with a cork in the bottom, in one hand, and a sandwich in the other, and the orchestra played, while all sang "And He Is a Jolly Good Fellow." Everybody had a good time and wants the club to meet oftener. The Denver and Chicago conventions being over and the different booms hav- ing collapsed, another one, that had its birth up north, is heard of more and more every day and with every incoming mail; that is, Adolphus Gude's boom for president of the S. A. F. at Niagara Falls next month. Mr. Gude has not said a word, but is leaving it all to his friends. He is too busy himself getting those new houses in shape. O. O. NEV BEDFORD, MASS. Trade is simply dead; the only thing doing is in funeral work. This calls for quite a quantity of flowers. Carnations are about played out. Plants in the field have not made good growth on account of the dry weather we are having. We need rain badly. All vegetation is show- ing the effects of the drought. Lawns are burning up. Eoses are not much better than carnations, either in quality or quantity. Sweet peas are showing the effects of the dry spell. J. H. Cleary started July 8 to close his store at noon. This is a good start and ought to be followed by other retailers. Wm. Livesey has just put in a new granolithic sidewalk around his resi- dence. Vacations are now the order of the day. W. L.

July 16, 1908. Vegetable Forcing. MUSHRMS. Does It Pay to Grow Them ? ' ' Does it pay to grow mushrooms ? " is a question that has often been asked. If florists or gardeners are asked the ques- tion, some will reply that it does not pay. Others, again, will say that there is more money in mushroom growing than in any- thing else. The writer has been growing mush- rooms for the market since 1896 and will tell the readers of the Eeview a few facts . about mushroom growing. In the first place, mushrooms should be grown in a simple atfd scientific way, and not after th^ old, complicated methods used fifteen OT twgpty years ago. V ;j;^OId Method. Accdrdiltgi to fte old method, the ma- nure waa' prepared i^or about six weeks, and forked thjfougtL.;^ery few days, with lots of h^d labor'} "Then it was put in beds and immediately packed down as hard jas possible, with the feet, and the beds I wei-fe made tip, |ibout fifteen or twenty inches thick. sWhen the heat went down to 90 de^ees the beds were spawned, and the spawn was put down about three inches in the manure. After that the soil was put on the beds about three inches thick, and packed doT^rn hard. After a.J,(ttv weeks the beds were ' sprinkled with warm water to "bring the mushrooms up." I am not surprised that those growers could not make a success in mushroom growing, as that treatment is enough to kill any spawn. What spawn requires to grow well is some fresh air, and pack- If You Grow Mushrooms and 'want the best spawn made, use ANGLO-AMERICAN ? Made Direct from Spores.

We have all the doors open in both ends of the mushroom sheds, so that the air has free* circulation during the time the beds are put in, as the manure needs plenty of air before the heat goes down. Fresh manure should always be used in mushroom growing, though a month old or so is not too old. The straw or hay does not need to be shaken out. Spawnios the Beds.

The beds should not be spawned before the heat goes down to 70 or 75 degrees and about three-quarters of an inch of soil is enough to cover the beds with. The soil should be left loose on top and not packed down at all. It is useless to make the beds up too thick, as no more mushrooms can be picked on a very thick bed than on a thinner one. From seven to nine inches is about the right thickness in a bed. ing the beds so hard and putting so much soil on top excludes the air from the spawn. If mushrooms are grown in a simple and up-to-date way, they are a good paying crop, and the market is increasing every year. A Modern Method. In order to grow a good crop of mush- rooms, it is not necessary to fork through the manure very much in preparing it for the beds. The heat will go down much more quickly in a pile of manure if it is left alone, than if it is forked through every few days, and if it is watered it will not burn dry in the pile. We do not go through our manure at all when it lies in a large pile outside, but bring it into the mushroom sheds the way it comes. Then we water it and go through it twice in the beds, as we have our beds arranged so we can easily Mtishrooms Supplied Chicago Restatirants by Paul Swanson. July lU, 1908.

IV It is much better to use cold tl;ian warm "water in watering the beds, and heating th^ water to 80 or 90 degrees is only . waste of time and does more harm than y. rt.-^/ "*»POrtance of Good Spawn, •."v. " It iu important to use good spawn in mushroom growing, as that is one of the main things in getting a good crop, and many failures are caused by using a poor spawn. All spawn will run out sooner M)r later, and new Varieties should be used instead of the old, run-out ones. It is impossible to teil good spawn by the appearance of it, as the best looking blue spawn , might be altogether worth- '"less, and spawn that does not look well - at all might , give a good crop of mush- rooms. It is a good idea to try a few diflferent kinds of spawn in some earlier beds before tjhe main crop is planted. Anyone tanking of starting in the mushroom business should start in a .small way, with a few beds, and get all jthe experience he can before going into . it more extensively. Paul Sw^anson. OMAHA.

The most important event to report this week is the outing of the New Orleans Horticultural Society, which took place July 8. To Mandeville, on Lake Pont- «hartrain, right across from New Or- leans, the florists took a two-hour boat ride and had the best of times, enjoying ■a grand banquet at Mugnier hotel. C. R. Panter acted as toastmaster. John T. Tims, of the assessor's oflBce, _attended in place of Mayor M. Behrman, who was kept away by press of business. Professor A. H.

A few of the growers are com- plaining of the "cinch" bug on the plants, the same thing which gave so much trouble to the mums last year. We have noticed in the trade notes of other cities the remark about tree pests. The worms became so bad in Buffalo, the city took hold of the matter and sprayed all trees infested which were on city pro- erty. Besides this, there are several firms doing nothing else but tree spraying. Business is quiet with eveirybody and about the only things talked about are vacations and picnics. Various Notes. The regular club meeting resulted in the planning of a picnic. The date is to be July 29. We all hope it will bring out a large crowd. The Bedell House has been selected, which affords ample accommodation and pleasant surround- ings after you get there. The committee will arrange a line program of sports and a ball game between the east and west sides.

Carelessness in the selection of seed and equal carelessness in the growing are both to blame. Great care should be taken in the selection of the seed. But few growers make any pretense of sav- ing their own seed, and when they do so ithey usually gather from the flowers promiscuously and as a consequence many inferior seedlings are grown, with the usual results. Even when the grow- ers use care in the selection of the plants from which the seed is saved, it is un- wise to collect and grow for more than two seasons without renewing the stock from seed grown in another locality. When a specialty is made of any par- ticular strain or variety, even greater care must be taken to keep them true to name, but, with so many reliable growers who make the pansy a specialty, there is no diflSculty with seed bought either in this country or in Europe. When the s^ed is sown — and during the present month is about the best time in this latitude — it is a good plan to start it under glass, but do not leave it inside for more than two or three weeks after the young plants have shown them- selves. Do not sow the seed too thickly in the boxes. When they are removed to the open, shade them for a few days and they then should be exposed to the 8un. After about ten to twelve weeks they should be pricked off into flats and left until late in the fall or early in the win- ter, when they should be planted in per- manent beds. Beds that are intended for pansies, if the best results are ex- pected, should be dug over at least twice during the late summer or fall and plenty of well rotted manure worked in. Pansies are gross feeders and the beds should be built so that there will be no surplus moisture standing around them after the winter rains commence. This is especially important when the gar- dener has thick, heavy soil ^to contend with, and an addition of a quantity of sand or other loosening material will in this case be of great benefit. On the other hand, just as fine pansies can be grown where the soil is naturally sandy, provided a suflScient amount of enrich- ment is given, in which case it will be necessary to continue feeding at regular intervals during the entire season of the plants' growth. Pansies at any stage want plenty of moisture, good drainage and rich 2 Million Galla Bulbs Ready to Ship A. MITTING, New Calla-PEARL OF STUTTGART Introduced in Oermany 6 years ago.

It is a good plan to sow a later batch of seed, usually about six weeks later than the first, and in this way a succes- sion of flowering plants can be had, if the weather permits, from Christmas un- til they become too large to handle to advantage, which is usually late in the summer. G. SANFEANOSCO. TheMaAet The weather continues to be cool. At no time during the last two weeks has it been over 60 degrees at the watmest time of the day in the neighborhood of San Francisco.

Lawson is about the only variety that seems to be greatly bothered by the thrips and, owing to the condition of the weather, this pest is much less no- ticeable than in former years. The prices of everything in the carnation line are, however, away down to bed rock and there is no immediate prospect of their betterment. Roses, except short-stemmed stock, are scarce and what few are seen are bring- ing good prices. Fancy roses are out of existence at present. Sweet peas still are the most popular flower and the prices are low, owing to the immense quantities of them being brought in by the Chinese growers.

They do not bring as much money as they did for the growers last season and the demand seems to be lighter. Coreopsis, gaillar- dias, etc., fill in nicely, but the majority of them find their way to the garbage can. Business is about as quiet as it can be and retain its identity. Funerals are all that the retailers have to contend with and they do not prove very formidable propositions, either. Compared with last season, June of this year easily fell off thirty-three per cent in the volume of business done. Many of the retailers cut down help considerably and, as a consequence, there are many idle clerks in town. The continued cool weather, however, will drive the city folks back into town early this year, and there is a possibility that fall trade may open ear- lier than usual on that account. Various Notes. Peter N. Schlentz, of Chicago, is on a visit to San Francisco. He expects to remain here for some weeks. Clarke Bros., of Fruitvale, are busy changing some of their carnation houses. Most of their stock is off crop at pres- ent. J. M. Holland has opened a new floral establishment on Piedmont avenue, Oak- land. Hutchings & James have completed a large greenhouse, to be devoted to fern growing, at the Elmhurst nursery. H. IJkai has leased his greenhouses at Golden Gate to a Japanese firm and will devote his entire time to his Elmhurst nurseries. G. CHICO, CAL. W. W. Tracy, of Washington, D. C, has been appointed to succeed August Mayer as chief of the Plant Introduction Garden at this place. Mr. Mayer, who was in charge during the last eighteen months, has been transferred to Arling- ton, Va., and will be the head of the horticultural department of the govern- ment gardens there. Mr. Tracy was in Chico two years ago, prosecuting work in the vegetable pathological department. He is the third head to be in charge of Uncle Sam's gardens, where are conducted experi- ments of importance to the entire coun- try, with plants from all parts of the globe. P. H, Dorsett was the first chief, upon whom fell the work of breaking the first sod, and after making an envi- able record of achievement he entered a private floral enterprise at Washington, D. C, where financial returns are greater. August Mayer succeeded him and con- ducted with success several important experiments. The work is now at the stage where results are being obtained and a splendid work is ahead of the new chief. Gonadals Florist 96 Yongc StM TORONTO WILLIAM J. SMYTH FLORIST Cor.

Large dealers in peonies report that there is no call from the trade for roots of Festiva Maxima for fall delivery; the public buys, but not the trade. It sim- ply shows how well everyone is stocked up on this variety. Possibly the largest call is for Peony M. Jules Elie. Wild Bros. Nursery Co., Sarcoxie, Mo., will make a specialty of peonies and devote more attention than formerly to ornamentals. As recently announced in the Review, Henry N. Wild, one of the founders of the business, has lately secured the entire stock and good will of the company and joined hands with his sons, C. M. Wild and A. O. Wild. They will do business under the corporate name. This unites two large stocks, es- pecially of peonies, those of the old firm and the former firm of C. & M. Wild. SUITABLE LOW HEDGE PLANT. We have a California privet hedge around a flower garden with a path two feet wide inside of same. The hedge roots are a solid, hairy mat from four to six feet in the beds, killing many choice lilies and other flowers. What can 1 replace this hedge with that will not encroach with its roots and will not need so much trimming as privet t I do not want anything more than eighteen inches high. I want something hardy, that will not winter-kill. N. C. G. Berberis Thunbergii is probably as suitable a plant as you can use. It does not root so strongly as the California privet and will require less trimming. It makes the best hedge if not trimmed at all, but as it may possibly grow a little wider than you care to have it, you may find it necessary to shear it in at the GRAFTED ROSES fo'r^?no BRIDE KAISERIN RICHMOND BRIDESMAID ElLIiARNEY WELLESLEY $10.00 per 100. $100.00 per lOOO JACKSON & PERKINS CO..

">,■•''' 46 The Weekly Florists^ Review* JULX 16, 1908. DENVER. The Market Trade has not been at all bad for the two weeks in July. The first week wit- nessed a better trade and a better re- turn for money than the same week last year. During the last week we have had the national democratic convention and there was an appreciable increase in the floral line. While the crowd was not as large as was expected, those who were here spent some money and the florists got their share, or will as soon as it gets circulated around. There were several dinners, and medium sized decorations were the rule, while several speakers at the convention were presented with good sized bouquets. The auditorium where the convention was held was well decorated, the work being done by Mr. Bush, of Daniels & Fisher. Stock is somewhat scarce, so the retail- er is generally cleaned up at night. Eoses are nearly at their lowest ebb, as concerns quality, but a steady im- provement is looked for from now on. American Beauties were, perhaps, the*i best sellers last week, but the quantity . was limited, one of the larger stores being obliged to have some shipped in on account of the great demand. Carnations are still coming in fair quantity, but the quality is not so good, the Red Vic- tory and White Enchantress being the best of any grade. Sweet peas are now coming in quan- tity from the outside; hence, the price has tumbled, but the call has been good, the ruling price being from 25 cents to 35 cents per hundred. A few asters have appeared, but they are not of the quality as yet that attracts much attention. Gypsophila is now seen in quantities in all the stores. Shasta daisies are also fairly abundant. E. S. K. LocKPOET, N. Y. — Thomas Mansfield has an interesting hobby, which furnishes him with profit as well as recreation. He has twenty-two hives of bees, which he understands perfectly, and he can talk in an entertaining way about their habits, peculiarities, etc. Mr. Mansfield's houses are looking fine and he reports having bad a good bedding plant business. RiDGEFlELD, CONN. — George I. Haight has closed his place of business on West Lane. The greenhouses and other build- ings have all been removed, and Mr. Haight will be kept busy this summer superintending the erection of his green- houses on Danbury avenue. He expects to resume business early in September. VINCAS From 2^-\a. pots. . .$2,00 and $3.00 per 100 From4-iD. pots 6.00 per 100 Cash with order. GEORGE BISCHOFF, ANN ARBOR, NICH.

The hot wave prevalent in the east struck here the latter part of last week and put an end to what little business there was. Vacation days are here, and the florist has no qualms about leaving his trade for a spell, for there are not many big orders to corner. Carnations are smaller. Enchantress and white seem to hold their own better than the others. Young roses are blooming and, though scarce, they are good. Gladioli and larkspur are the popular outdoor cut just now. Varioui Notes. James Souden had some good orders the first part of the week, and exhibited some fine stock. The Shriners' convention will occa- sion a few orders, but not much is ex- pected on account of the season of the year. The Minneapolis Floral Co. is getting in its coal supply for the coming winter. This firm is cutting some fine Kaiserin. M. E. M. PEORIA, ILL. Peoria florists are taking advantage of the slight lull in business by doing a great deal of improving and repairing. D. U. Augspurger & Sons have pur- chased an acre of ground adjoining their property. They will begin at once to erect four new houses, one of them to be used exclusively for propagating pur- poses. They are also improving their houses, tearing out old benches and re- placing with new ones. Superintendent M. D. Augspurger stated that his firm would probably add palms as a specialty. As they have achieved a huge success by specializing ferns of all kinds, we may look for "something doing" by these people in palms in the near future.

Brethren: There has been a movement on foot, for sev- eral years, among the growers of that "Queen" of summer bedding plants, the canna, among those who are members of the Society of Amer- ican Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists. I nm only in the business on a large place for the pleasure that there is in it, and do not sell, and for that reason I have not favored a canna organization. I now think the time has come that a National Canna Society should be organ- ized, and I hope that all the growers will be at the convention at the Falls, so there can be an exchange of opinions.

Our seed is saved from about 12,000 plants, carefully selected, when in bloom, from the 500,000 we grow for our spring sales. Each plant is carefully selected, color, size, form and substance being taken into considera- tion, and the proportion ot each color Is prop- erly balanced. As a result of over 25 years' work along these lines, we feel Justified in claiming to have the best strain of pansles on the market, and we Invite trial and comparison. Gl-owing our stock in this manner, we have only a limited amount of seed to spare, and in order to distribute as widely as possible, we offer it in packets of 1000 seeds.

The Nassau County Horticultural So- ciety held its monthly meeting in Pem- broke hall July 8. President Jaenicke oc- cupied the chair. Acceptances were read from several gentlemen who were in- vited to act as judges at the hall exhibi- tion. Two new members were proposed and three elected. Three honorary mem- bers were elected. Mr. Mackenzie, chair- man of the executive committee, pre- sented a schedule for the fall show, which was approved. Contributions of special prizes were offered by Stumpp & "Walter Co., Peter Henderson & Co., and W. E. Marshall Co., New York; also W. H. Weeks, Sea Cliff. Several of the mem- bers also offered prizes. It was voted that no member could compete for his own prize, and the executive committee was asked to have a preliminary schedule prepared by next meeting. It was also voted to have a dahlia show in October. A proposal that essays be read and dis- cussed was received favorably, and J. F. Johnston consented to have one on ever- greens for next meeting. President Jaenicke announced that members are invited to exhibit at the Queens-Nassau Agricultural Exhibition. The awards of the exhibits for points were: H. F. Mey- er, corn, 81 ; Valentine Cleres, poppies, 71; Oscar Adder, rhubarb, certificate of culture; yuccas, honorable mention. An exhibit of evergreens by Mr. Johnston received a vote of thanks. Mr. Johnston gave an interesting talk on evergreens and Mr. Adder told how he grew his rhubarb. J. R. Thi Beview will send the Book of Grafted Boses for 25 cents.

Mention The Review when you write. growers employ experts to plan the heat- ing arrangements and consider the serv- ice so valuable that they are not only willing to pay well for advice but ex- pend large sums in following it. To the small grower the subject is of no less importance. This is the season at which the appa- ratus should be overhauled from A to Z and put in apple-pie order. Changes, if needed, take time and the cool nights, with their need for heat, will be here almost before you know it. Hot water not only remains the best medium for warming, under certain con- ditions, but its range has been greatly extended in the last few years and it is now employed satisfactorily and econom- ically in much larger units than hereto- fore. Steam has been so developed, as applied to greenhouse heating, that many of the largest growers have found it a profitable investment to concentrate the entire boiler plant in one central sta- tion, which may include pumps, dynamos and even cold storage apparatus. While the best heating apparatus, small or large, is the one with the fewest frills, it is not always possible to em- ploy either water or steam in its sim- plest form; conditions in each case must be met, and can be satisfactorily met by study. It is not possible to say that any one system is the best under all circum- stances and it may require, and, indeed, in possibly the majority of cases does re- quire, the addition of one or more of the mechanical aids to secure the right re- sults. Especially are these needed in the numerous establishments that have grown ..The Kroeschell Boiler Zs th* only psrf«ot Dot Water Boiler BUkd* in 16 slz«s, heating' flrom th« ■mallcat gTe«nliona« up to 6O,O00 sqnare fa«t of glass to eo d«gT««s at 15 degroos bo- low soro.

Nowadays there are half a dozen ways of making hot water do things it wouid not do before the inventors got to work. And steam is assisted on its rounds by regulators, condensation traps and me- chanically created vacuums. Even pipe joints at trifling cost may be made tight with the guarantee that they will not rust and become inseparable. By all means go over your heating ap- paratus now. Study its defects and rec- tify them; if not by such simple changes as frequently accomplish the desired re- sult, then by employing one or more of the devices which are needed to make the apparatus both efficient and econom- ical. Money spent in this way frequently comes back quickly; growers using small coal found a rocking grate with closely spaced bars quickly paid for itself through the saving of fuel that had dropped through their old, wide bars. TOLEDO, OHIO. State of Trade. Florists all over the city are satis- fied with business. In fact, never be- fore in years has the outlook for July been more favorable. With the ther- mometer registering from 90 to 97 de- grees, it is remarkable how business is keeping up, and stock is in good condi- tion. There were a number of large funerals last week, and most of the flo- rists were kept busy in consequence. The local sweet peas are of exceptional quality. Various Notes. Among the notable recent events was the wedding of Miss Grace N. Peck, daughter of S. N. Peck, and O. F. Hal- loway, a real estate dealer. The church was elaborately decorated by Mr. Peck. Mrs. E. Suder received a large ship- ment of Richmond and Killarney roses this week froni Chicago. They are a very good quality. Notable among the events of the week was the Foutz-Percival wedding at the Washington Congregational church. The decorations were furnished by S. N. Peck. Mr. Schoen furnished a number of the designs at the funeral of Attorney Han- 1gv» • Mrs. E. Suder furnished most of the offerings at several out-of-town funerals. Several large pieces went to Weston, O., and a number were shipped to Delta, O. H. L. S. SYRACUSE, N. Y. P. K. Quinlan & Co. are preparing to grow orchids on an extensive scale, hav- ing received a large importation, filling one of the large houses. Among the va- rieties are some fine specimens of den- drobiums, cattleyas, cypripediums, Iselias, etc. They are just finishing up their bedding plant business, which they report has been good. Bannister Bros, have just completed a new fern house, 10x100, to be used for growing small ferns, of which they han- dle a large number. H. D.

Current Comment. Hot and dry, weather is what we are now experiencing, and all outdoor stock is suffering; also the supply of cut flow- ers, and unless rain soon falls the supply will be short. Business is. fairly good for this time of year. \ Mrs. A. Pahud died on thj6 evening of July 6. She had been sicl(^ for the last three months. The family has the sym- pathy of many friends in the loss they have sustained. Herman Junge is building a residence on the Cumberland property and will move there shortly. He says country life is conducive to sweetness of temper. The City Florists' Club will give a picnic July 22, at Gennania park. All are invited and a good time will be had. A ball game, races and amusements for the ladies and children will be provided. Ben Pritchard, formerly with A. "Wie- gand & Sons, has taken a position at Council Bluffs. He will be missed by his many friends here, and all wish him everj' success. S. EVANSVILLE, IND. The Market. There is not much doing at present, aside from a number of funerals, which use a considerable quantity of flowers. Roses and carnations are scarce. Asters are slow in coming, owing to continued dry weather. June was the driest month in eleven years. Varioui Notes. Julius Niednagel is in Europe, visit- ing his old home in Germany. His busi- ness is in capable hands, being left in care of his sons. They will rebuild all of the benches in the rose houses, lifting the dried-off roses and replanting as they build. The Blackman Floral Co. has been cut- ting nice quantities of sweet peas and lilies. Royston & Fenton report a fair busi- ness for the year just ending. This is their first year and they expect to do much better the coming season. They grow only roses for wholesale. They will have roses and carnations shipped in this season, to supply their increasing trade. Their roses are being rested, one house being started into new growth, which gives promise of doing well. • Ben Kramer sold his greenhouses and opened a store. He reports doing nicely. . E. L. F.

The leaning cross is one of the series of funeral designs by C. H. Fox, Colum- bia avenue and Twenty-first street, Phil- adelphia, now appearing in the Eevikw. Great care is paid, Mr, Fox assures me, to the angle at which the leaning cross is placed: just that angle that will make it appear to the best advantage when viewed by a person standing in front of it. The cross is always made up first and attached to the base when complete. Mr. Fox disapproves all lettering, but when it must be used he endeavors to make the letters as graceful and unob- trusive as possible. Pure white is the color idea, brought out by lilies and car- nations, relieved by delicate green ferns, the one color used in this design. Phil. CO-OPERATION OF RETAILERS. The aim of every true florist should always be in the direction of a better- ment of the conditions of the retail trade in general. "While there is great necessity to exert every faculty to the improvement of the growing and produc- tion, we fear that the vital section of our business does not come in for its share of recognition, and he who is the mainstay, the prop, as it were, is not considerate enough of the why and wherefor, and fails to recognize the great necessity for the free excnange of ideas and the general cooperation of the retailers. We hear of peony clubs, carnation and rose societies, etc., but the ear of the writer has been patiently waiting at the track of progress to catch the first sound of the approach of a society for the advancement of the retailer. ^ There are many clubs where good work is done, but we have failed to dis- cover one as yet where the dominating influence is not the grower. Think it over, retailers. Perhaps you have reached the same conclusion as ourselves, after making a few visits to the "rooms" and listening to discussions on bulbs, roses, insecticides, etc. Though these subjects are instructive and interesting, still they fail to draw the attendance of the men who make possible the magnificent grow- ing establishments of which we have so many. Let us, retailers, cooperate, that the public may be the better educated to the possibilities of flowers when arranged by artists. Thereby increasing the demand, wo will give the incentive to even fur- ther effort by the growers in the cul- tivation and perfection of the floral fam- ily. F. C. W. B. SHOP RULES.

A BOSTON STORE. This is the season at which the retail florist begins to agitate his thinking ap- paratus with the subject of changes to be made in his store during the summer, in preparation for the busy autumn. House-cleaning in many lines of business is in May, but with the retail florists July and August are the months chosen for brightening things up in anticipation of renewed activity in selling. For this reason retail florists in the early summer pay many visits to those similarly en- gaged in other cities, for the purpose of gathering fresh ideas on the subject of retail flower store arrangement and deco- ration. Boston is well worth visiting by any- one who is interested in modern retail flower stores, for it has a number which are excellent examples of their kind. One of the newest is that of S. Hoffman, on Massachusetts avenue at the corner of Commonwealth. This is one of the best sections of the city and the store is a credit to the neighborhood. Mr. Hoff- man is one of the young men who have carved their own way in the flower busi- ness. Starting with practically nothing, he has built up for himself a trade which justified the maintenance of a first-class establishment. He was one of the first in the matter of automobile delivery, and his showy car has been an excellent ad- vertisement during the season which has passed. It was less than five years ago that Hoffman opened a small store at 925 Boylston street. A little later he se- cured the store which had been occupied for six years by Norton Bros., but after two years there he found that he needed additional space and last season removed to his present location. Several years ago Mr. Hoffman ac- quired greenhouses at Cambridge, where he turns out much good stock, having had exceptional results this season. Keferring to the tendency of some re- tailers to go slow in the matter of in- creasing their facilities, and of course their expenses, Mr. Hoffman says that immediately upon opening this new store his trade began to increase at what was a really surprising rate and that his venture has been fully justified. It has been a somewhat quiet season in Boston this year, but he is fully satisfied. A TIMELY REMINDER. The Confidence of Customers. The majority of the retail growers of the country are men who depend on a local business. Their transient trade, in most instances, does not amount to much, and in order to be successful, whether you have competition in your town or locality or not, it is necessary to know the business, to act upon the square and to show a constant desire to satisfy the customers — to give them their full money's worth every time and be as much concerned in regard to the success with whatever plants they may buy as they are themselves. There are but few people who do not appreciate these atten- tions, and those who do not are not wanted as customers. It is, or should be, a real pleasure to fill an order for a customer whose con- fidence you have, and to continuously strive to keep it assures success; and he who can make the greatest number of his customers believe that their orders receive the best attention, will be most successful. The days when it was just a matter of finding ways and means by which one could obtain a big price for something not worth it, are over. Misrepresentation means the ruination of any business, and there is at least as much room for this in the florists' busi- ness as in any other. And much of this misrepresentation is unintentional, as, for instance, in the retail seed stores, where during the rush months a lot of inexperienced help has to be employed to wait on customers. When a lady is informed that a cobsea is a hardy climber, that hollyhocks will bloom in June from seed sown in May, or that a Paul Ney- ron rose will bloom all summer, all this is doing a great deal of harm to the busi- ness. I have often wondered whether it would not pay the big seed houses to maintain in their stores during the very busy season an information bureau. It would only take one good man, who in a few words could answer all the many questions which come up daily, and thereby avoid a lot of misunderstanding and bad feelings. One 'Way of Winning Confidence. The object of this article is to call Store of S. Hoffman, Boston. JULT 23, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Store of S, Hoffman, Massachusetts and Conunonwealtfi Aves., Boston, Mass. atuention to a fact often entirely over- looked by many, and that is, that a. little attention should be paid at this time of the year to some of the stock which has been delivered to customers during the bedding season. During the rush of business in May and June, when it is simply impossible to attend to all the details of filling orders as one would like to, quite often it is likely that a window box, vase or wire hanging bas- ket has to be filled and delivered tho same day the order comes in. With a window box or vase, this is not so bad, for if done by the proper man everything should be in good shape when the goods leave the place, and remain so if taken care' of at all. With moss-lined hanging baskets, however, it is quite different. After they have been filled a short time, the moss is bound to settle along the rim of the basket. The little water they usu- ally get will run off and everything will dry up in short order. We have made it a practice, therefore, for the last few years to send a good man, a wagon with some soil, moss, and a few plants such as are used for bas- kets, boxes or vases, to as many of our near-by customers as possible, and look ever their places. We do this toward the latter part of July, and wherever moss, soil, or a fresh plant is needed, it is put in free of charge, and wherever no gardener is in charge — and in most places there is none — instructions are given in regara to the care of the plants, and this in most cases means more water. A mfin can go over many places in a day. Quite often there is nothing to re- place or to be attended to, but even at such places the owner usually appreciates our intentions in looking after things. While a bed of geraniums or a veranda box should look well when put out, yet much depends on the care they get after- ward in order to be showy during the few summer months. Often a suggestion offered, or advice given, will help to please a customer and this is the only kind that can please you. F. B. THE DISCOUNT FOR ICE. Opinion of a Cincinnati Shipper. I have had an interview with the agent of one of the large express companies here, and he says that there is no ruling whereby the express agents could allow ice to be used in a shipment of flowers without paying for the full weight. But, at the same time, cases have come under my own observation where the agent at a certain shipping point in a neighboring state did, and does allow, the shipper to use not to exceed ten pounds of ice, and those ten pounds are deducted from the original weight. In reading over the classification, it would look as though discrimination were being indulged in by the express com- panies, but this is possibly due to ignor- ance of what is required in the shipping of cut flowers, and it might be that if said companies were advised of our wants, they would gladly grant our re- quest. Personally I have never had a just grievance against any of the several com- panies with which I do business, that was not remedied when properly explained. What looks to me to be more of a griev- ance than this, is the fact that the ex- press companies refuse to haul our emp- ties from our houses to the depots unless we will pay them 40 cents per hundred for so doing, and at the same time they are getting paid for sending the boxes back to the grower. This seems to me to be a squeeze game, pure and simple, and I hope it will be fully discussed at our meeting at Niagara Falls. I am surely in sympathy with Mr. Reid and I wish him success. E. G. Gillett. EUROPEAN NOTES. At the Holland House show of the Royal Horticultural Society, London, opened July 7, Alexander Dickson & Sons, Newtownards, Ireland, were fortunate in receiving four awards of merit for roses; namely, Molly Sharmau Crawford (tea), Mrs. David Jardine (H. T.), Florence Edith Goulthwaite (H. T.), and George C. Waud (H.T.). E: G. Hill, of the E. G. Hill Co., Rich- mond, Ind., was among the visitors and brings his European trip to a close in a few days. The Independence day celebrations at the London house of the American am- bassador brought together a large gather- ing of Americans over here at present. Over 3,000 Americans passed up the great marble staircase during the after- noon. In the vestibule at the foot of the stairs two large flags were formed of flowers, the American standard and the Union Jack, each composed of red gera- niums, blue cornflowers and white stocks. Bee. SWEET PEA" VINES DYING. I enclose one of a number of sweet pea vines, which all at once seem to dry up and wither away. Over half of the peas I planted this spring behaved in this way. Can you tell me the reason for this! J. A. B. With both peas and sweet peas the trouble you refer to is much in evidence this year. Earthing up the peas after growth has started cause« this dying off in some cases. Excessive dryness at the root is responsible for a good deal of it. The fact that a good deal of pea seed was of poor quality, as a result of la^t year's drought, may have something to do with it. The chief trouble, ho.wever, seems to be of a bacterial nature, attack- ing the stems just below the surface of the soil. We are not aware that any rem- edy has been suggested for this latter disease beyond change of soil, careful se- lection of seed and as early planting as possible. As a rule, the later sowings seem this season to be generally and badly affected, and the early ones more immune. Possibly your soil is somewhat acid, in which ease an application of lime in the fall will be beneficial. C. W. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Ji I.Y 2[i, l'.»()8. A TIMELY REMINDER. Store of S.

In July, 1906, I stated in the Eeview that Kehvay & Son liad already sent to persons in America five different peonies, all as Lady Alexandra Duff, and con- cluded with the deduction that it was my belief that there was no such peony. Kolway & Son saw t^is article and re- plied in the Review that there was such a peony and, at the time of writing, "it- can be seen flowering in our nurseries. ' ' Now the second chapter: I instructed A. H. Fewkes, secretary of the American Peony Society, to offer to buy one, with this understanding: Kelway & Son must guarantee it. I was to pay the cost and was to take it and grow it. As soon as it was fit to be di- vided I was to give a root to Mr. Fewkes, as secretary of the society. Mr. Fewkes asked that they send a photo of the bloom and a full description of the flower. The whole thing was declined by Kelway & Son, with the excuse that there was none for sale. In the meantime I had asked to be made good on the two lots of five each which were mistakes, they having said publicly in their article that they were wiHing so to do. In April of 1907 one root came to mo by parcel post, with a label reading: ' ' Peony Lady Alexandra Duff. True. ' ' Although it was sent gratis, I had to pay the duty of nearly $4. James McKissock, of West Newton, Mass., had a standing order with Kelway & Son, and also with Barr & Son, of London, to send him one Lady A. Duff as soon as any were for sale. He re- ceived both of these roots before the one came to me. Now for the result : One sent to Mr. McKissock by Kelway & Son, bloomed this year, about as red as Felix Crousse. It bore a label reading similar to the one sent me. The other one, which came through Barr & Son, bloomed very late, at the same time as Baroness Schroeder. It looked like Schroeder and was of the same perfume. The one that came to me bloomed tiif- ferent from either of those which Mr. McKissock had, and which had cost him, with duty and charges, about $3.5 each. This gives three more peonies, two guaranteed to Mr. McKissock and one sent to me for the purpose of convincing me that there was such a variety, ' ' a lovely French white, the finest peony in existence. ' ' What a mess! All three are different. All three are different from any of the five which I specified in my article two years ago. E. J. Shaylor, July 1, 1908. Wellesley Hills, Mass. PEONY P. DUCHAHTRE. C. Betscher, Canal Dover, O., says that P. Duchartre is one of the best of the late peonies. An illustration of it in this issue serves to show the form of the flower, but the photographer neglected to indicate the size, for Mr. Betscher says he often has seen blooms eight to ten inches jn diameter, large as that may seem. The color is soft blush salmon. SOME PEONY OBSERVATIONS. Demand for Finest Sorts. The season has been an excellent one with most growers. The demand is more and more for the finest sorts and the or- dinary stuff will be a heavy glut in a few seasons. There are far too many sorts that possess little merit, and this refers just as much to some "novelties" as to the old-timers. Again, there are many old-timers that possess exceptional merit. I cannot understand why the older growers have overlooked their ex- ceptional merits. Causes of Failtire. Some growers have not had a good crop for three seasons. Quite a few causes contribute to this. The peony might be called in great degree a bi-annual peren- nial; that is, it will store up capability to produce a full crop the next season after it is disappointing. In old clumps in their colorings and markings, thus add- ing to the confusion in nomenclature and descriptions. Far too many sorts have no particular merit, especially from the cut flower or landscapic viewpoint. Many are of poor color, lack freedom, etc. Some seemingly will come blind through quite a number of causes. I feel that many failures are brought about by one not understanding some details of cul- ture. I have noticed plants of Whitleyi come into full bloom annually, while other plants apparently just as large or larger, in the best of soil, were a failure. On my own grounds I have noticed the same thing, but I cannot believe that frost has had much to do With it, as in each of the last three seasons we have had fine blooms on most of our sorts. One season we had a severe two-day freeze with dry- ing winds, after the stems were eighteen inches or more high. While many stems were split open from the effects of the 10 degrees of frost, when June came we had a fine crop of bloom. Some other growers, with much less cold, had a com- plete failure. From various experiments and observations I am fully convinced that wrong methods of culture are the cause of failure generally attributed to late frosts. Some sorts seemingly stand any sort of ill-treatment, while others are exceedingly sensitive to the least wrong feature. The Lady Bramwell type seemingly is more sensitive to wrong, treatment than others, but from my observations in hybridizing various plants I think this type is the product of Whitleyi parentage, so that point may more than ever indorse my observations as to wrong treatment, etc. Peony P. Duchartre. this does not seem so much the case as with smaller ones, and in some sorts more than others. Many sorts can be cut almost devoid of foliage, and the next season they are fine; others under such treatment almost perish. Many of our sorts were planted in 1902, 1903 and 1904. Some gave grand blooms the following spring, but in a few cases we have not had typical ones until this season. This leads me to believe that many sorts have been passed as of no merit because not developed to their full character. Quite a few sorts are annually variable Too Many Varieties. Last season nearly every one of our 1,200 sorts gave us grand blooms' on plants with twelve to thirty-six blooms, but out of the list we have selected about 200 that we consider worthy of increas- ing; the others we shall discard, all but two plants for test-plot purposes. I cannot understand what some special- ists mean in sending out sorts as new that possess so little merit as many do. Out of about 300 newer sorts I will re- tain not over twenty-five as being AAl in every way. W^e know of eight importations that July 23, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review. gave eight different varieties under the same name. Out of about 100 sorts, new and old, we have received Andre Lauries under ten different names, Cherita under as many, but I may add that this is also the case in other items. This season we imported a lot of gladioli and got one sort under three names. This same con- dition also exists with a number of grow- ers on this side. I paid $10 for a root of Milton Hill which proved to be Pottsi Alba; $5 per root for John Bichardson which was Andre Lauries, etc., but the average grower or dealer invariably is pleased to make good any errors. One trouble Avith many growers is that they are not up on nomenclature except on a small list of sorts. We have little matter of an authoritative nature on peonies. Sarah Bernhardt (Dessert, 1895) is La France (Polman-Mooy, about 1870). Mr. Dessert found this in Dessert & Mechin's collection. This is our earliest Chinese sort. Last season we cut it with the first officinalis sorts. Usually we cut it about the third day after the first offi- cinalis blooms, but before we have the officinalis cleaned up La France is done. Keine des Francaise often brings this sort, but is a quite different sort under its correct name. Culttiral Sucfgestions. I find many growers, striving for the limit of development, are overfeeding their peonies. A peony, while vigorous, is also sensitive. Peonies can not stand overfeeding. AVe now have no disease in our peonies. At first we had much ro- sette, which is a symptom of overfeeding. The wilt disease is the same thing in the last stages. Remove the cause and it disap- pears. When this disease appears the best remedy is to remove some of the overrich soil and replace with as much poor soil; also give each plant a good sprinkling of slaked lime, or remove the plant entirely. Remove any damaged root and lime the root; then plant into poor soil, but keep the plants well watered for a week. Thus they may be dug up at any time and not harm them. As a rule, when a plant shows the symptoms of wilt it is in a pretty bad shape, although not always hopeless. We plant our peony ground to potatoes or corn previous to planting peonies. We first prepare the ground and sow to rye early in the fall, then manure it heavily in December with fresh manure. By plowing early and planting to corn it gets the plot in the best of shape, so that there is little loss of plants dying or get- ting diseased. Any plants that are bought and have any trace of disease may be given a good dusting of lime, which will help to eliminate it. After the plants have been growing for two or three years we give a good dressing of manure over the soil about December, or earlier, during the growing season. Where a large tract is to be planted for cutting, it will be good to sow oats about August 15 ; then put the manure on during Jan- iiary. This Avill put the ground in excel- lent condition in the spring. C. Betscher. Washingtonville, O. — J. H. Cox has completed an addition which will double his greenhouse capacity. Le Roy, N.

M 1 1 'It ^ C^^^ Peony Mme. De Verneville. PEONY MME. DE VEBNEVILLE. It always takes a new peony a long time to secure any sort of general ap- preciation and distribution, but Mme. De Verneville is one that William A. Peter- son thinks has not progressed in popu- larity as rapidly as its age and merits would seem to indicate it should. It is one of the many good things that have originated with Crousse, in France, first sent out in 1885, and it is now in the lists of the large growers throughout the world, but is not widely planted for all that. Mme. De Verneville is described as pure white with a faint blush tint in the center; very delicate, early, free and exceptionally fragrant. It has been grown at Peterson Nursery for fifteen years and not once in all that time has it failed to bloom satisfactorily. Florists who grow peonies for cut flowers need in white an early, a mid-season and a late sort, and those who want to be sure of a crop grow two varieties in each class, as, for instance, Couronne d'Or and Mme. Dupont would not both be needed except that one seems sure to bloom in the season when the other fails. According to the Peterson experience, Mme. De Verneville needs no understudy where planted as a main crop early white for cutting. Not only is it absolutely hardy, but it multiplies possibly more rapidly than any other peony, and there- fore produces more stalks and more blooms, for the growths are never blind. Mr. Peterson says it is both as free a bloomer and as reliable as Golden Har- vest, and that is high praise, in addition to which it has an advantage in color, GERANIUMS FOR MEMORIAL DAY Will you please give me the treatment of geraniums from the time of propaga- tion to finish, in order to have them in for Decoration day ? W. P. In propagating, the best success is to be attained by not starting before the last of September. During hot weather the cuttings are liable to damp off, and I would not advise you to do any propa- gating for a couple of months yet. The cuttings can either be inserted singly in 2-inch pots of sandy loam or thickly in flats of clean, sharp sand. Place on a greenhouse bench. Soak well with water. Then apply no more until the sand or loam becomes quite dry. When rooted, water should only be given in sufficient quantities to prevent shriveling. No shade should be given geranium cuttings at any season of the year. In fall a house kept at 45 degrees at night is suf- ficiently warm. For spring propagating, pots are preferable to flats, and some bottom heat is an advantage. In February the cuttings in the flats can be potted off and those in pots 8 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ July 23, 1908. shifted to the ^-inch size, being again moved into 4-iDch when ready. In this latter size most of the geraniums for Memorial day trade are sold. To describe fully how geraniums should be grown from start to finish would occupy con- siderable space, but as these will be fre- quently referred to in the Review, you will be able to glean any points not given now. C. W. CARNATION NOTES.- WEST. Housing the Plants. If . you are not already bringing in your carnations, it is time now to begin, if you want to begin cutting blooms early in October in good quantity. This cannot be done from plants that are housed late in August or early in Sep- tember, which is the time many growers still house their carnations. True, a few varieties will throw up flower shoots at once and give blooms six weeks after be- ing housed, but that does not make it pay to delay the planting. If the first buds are removed and the plants allowed to become well established, the blooms produced in October will be far superior and more in number, even on those varie- ties which come into bloom quickly. To us it seems that everything is in favor of the early housing, providing the houses are at your disposal. Favorable Gmdhions. ;. I have on previous occasions men- tioned the advantage of transplanting when the plants are in proper condition, etc.; that is, making very little growth. During the last month or more we have had little rain and the plants in the field have grown slowly, but in spite of that they are in fine condition to trans- plant and large enough, in most cases, for this early. Plants benched during last week are taking hold finely, and seem to be enjoying the moist soil and the more pleasant growing atmosphere of the greenhouse. They are really much better than plants which have had much rain and are consequently more soft and sappy. If your plants are undersized on ac- count of dry weather, do not make the mistake of leaving them out for the purpose of making larger plants before you bench them. Bear in mind that a small plant will recover more quickly and easily than a large one, and, what is more important, your plants will grow faster in the greenhouse than they will in the field, especially if the dry weather continues. Soil Should Be Mellow. So, if the soil is in proper condition to dig well, do . not delay housing your plants for any of the above mentioned reasons. If, however, the soil comes up lumpy, so that the roots will be much broken, it will be better to wait for a good, soaking rain. You want all the roots you can get of the smaller, fibrous kinds, and these are the ones you lose in digging up lumpy soil. If the soil is mellow and all drops off on account of being dry, without tearing the roots, it will do no harm. In such case the plants should not be out of the ground long, as the plants suffer quickly if th§ roots are exposed to the air. .We preflfejf to get the plants up with a ball of soil as large as your fist, but this cannot always be done, especially if the soil is of a sandy nature. Plants Should Be Fresh. In lifting plants in dry weather, there is one thing you should be careful of: Do not dig up plants which are wilted. No doubt you have noticed how poorly -a bloom will keep if it is cut from a plant which is suffering for want of water. Plants which are suffering for water to the extent of flagging will be slow in taking hold of the new soil and will wilt badly for a long time, with a consequent loss of foliage and plants. You will find during a dry spell, even if the plants flag some during midday, that they will be fresh and crisp iji the morn- ing hours on account of the dew. While they are fresh is when you want to dig as many plants as you will need for the day's planting. Place them in deep trays, set them in a cool shed where no draughts will strike them, sprinkle and cover them with burlap until needed for planting. Plants handled in this manner will suffer very little, and in no case should they be allowed to stand around in the sun or draught. Always corer them as the trays are brought in, unless they are planted at once. Shading Should Be Moderate. Previous to last year we always shaded our houses quite heavily, either with lime or with a mud-wash. The idea was to exclude the sun and to reduce the temperature, thereby preventing the plants from wilting. When the plants are soft and sappy I believe this is a good idea, but with plants in the proper condition we find this to be a mistake. Last season our plants were in nice con- dition and we put on no extra shading above what had been put on earlier for the old plants. We found that our plants held up splendidly and took hold more quickly than when a dense shade was applied. More syringing and damping down was required to keep the atmos- phere moist, on account of the more rapid evaporation. When you come to think of it, it stands to reason that the plants will re- sume their natural growth more quickly when the conditions are kept as near normal as possible. Under the dense shade the plants soften quickly and, by the time root action is resumed, the plants have become so tender that the shade must be removed with great care, else they will suffer again. Root action, too, is more active under a strong light than it is under a heavy shade. Under this method there will be far less trou- ble experienced with stem-rot and spot diseases and they are less active under a strong light. While the atmosphere is kept just as humid, yet it is kept in that condition a shorter period of time, as the plants reestablish themselves more quickly. In this latitude we do like a little shade over the plants, however, to break the fierce rays of the hot sun during July and August. Nearly all plants seem to enjoy it during this time and, if it is not too dense and is taken off early^n the "fall, we can see no harmful results. A. F. J. Baur. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Any annual ntem- ber in goo'fe:»!>'-yc»)'i SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS ^^S^^^F^^?SWS^7S^WBsSWSWSWW^Wm^^l^^^¥^^^S^^^^^m^ I Pansies. The last week in July and first week in August is a suitable time to make the main sowing of pansies. Of course, in the more southern states this can be advantageously delayed until the mid- dle or end of August, but in the northern states we have always found a date as near August 1 as possible the best. Pan- sies every year prove one of the best sell- ing flowering plants, millions being dis- posed of annually in the United States. About every householder who has a tiny plot of ground will want to plant a few pansies, and the country florist who has a good stock of plants has seldom much trouble in disposing of them. In the case of pansies, as with all other important florists' flowers, it never pays to bother with cheap seed. Pay $2 to $3 more an ounce rather than buy any of the cheap mixtures offered. About every seedsman has some extra good strain to offer. These can be had either in mixtures or separate colors. As a rule, mixtures sell better than the individual colors, unless one shade is desired for bed- ding out effects. "While it is difficult to select one special strain where so many are offered, we prefer the Giant Trimardeau to any other. A few extra fine varieties of this pansy are: Em- peror William, dark blue; Show Queen, pure- white; Queen of Blues, lavender; Golden Gem, clear yellow; King of Blacks, coal black, and Lord Beacons- field, violet. Of other giant strains, Cassier's and Mme. Perret are both fine. Of the ordinary bedding pansies, which are purchasable at lower prices than the giants, a few additional sorts of merit are Psyche, velvet violet blue; Cardinal, bright red, and Emperor Frederick, pur- ple edged with scarlet and yellow. The tufted nansies, Viola cornuta. are splendid bedding sub,iects, especially for partially shaded beds. These flowers are much smaller than those of the other pansies, but are much more freely produced. Mauve Queen, Blue Perfec- tion, White Perfection and Admiration are four good varieties. These are spe- cially useful for covering the ground- ' work of bulb beds, making a fine show- ing when the bulbous display has waned. In sowing pansies, unless large quan- tities are wanted, a good plan is to se- lect a vacant coldframe. Pulverize the soil well, cover the seed lightly and soak well. Sow either broadcast or in drills a few inches apart. If sashes are used at all, let them be tilted top and bot- tom, and shaded until the .seeds germi- nate, when they should be removed to prevent the plants becoming drawn and weakly. Rather than use sashes at ftU*-,we ©refer to gjn lath shades over tne seecTbeds during Bright sunshine, not using these at all after the plants are well above ground. If sown in the open ground, we prefer to give the beds a soaking of water and then mulch the surface with short straw. Any waterings are given over this mulch, which is care- fully removed as the seedlings germinate. As constant waterings will bake the sur- face, see that it is loosened as soon as the seeds germinate or many will damp off. Gardenias. This is the season of rapid "growth with the gardenias. Those in benches will need occasional pinchings to keep them, shapely. As the roots run more and more into the compost, water can be given more freely, but avoid any over- supply, which will quickly cause yellow- ing of the foliage. As frequent syring- ings are needed to keep mealy bug in check, this sometimes causes the surface soil to become slimy and it will be nec- essary to scratch the same over occa- sionally. Although, as a rule, no stakes are needed in bench culture, occasional plants may develop a sprawly habit, in which case one or two wire stakes may be used with advantage. At this season plants in pots do well in the open air and will make a good, sturdy growth there. Any showing yellowing of foli- age will color up if treated to a little soot water or nitrate of soda. Nephrolepis. Plants of nephrolepis in benches are making great headway now. It is yet rather early to lift and pot them, un- less you are planning to use the benches for carnations or other winter crops. Keep the surface scratched occasionally, and remove weeds. A light mulch of old, well-spent manure will help to keep the soil cool and moist and benefit the plants. If you want well filled baskets for early winter sales, these should be made up at once. Do not use any other plants with the ferns. Mixtures of this kind never take so well as ferns by them- selves. Plants in pots and pans being grown to specimen size will now require large supplies of water. U^e some liquid manure once a week to keep them vig- orous. None of these nephrolepis need a warm, close house; neither should they be heavily shaded, as this tends to make the fronds more brittle. N. Amerpohlii is liked very much and it will be in great demand the coming season. N. Todeaoides is a distinct and graceful newcomer. Whitmani and Elegantissima are both good, the former rarely revert- ing. Scottii seems to have lost popular- ity, but the old Bostoniensis is still in the front rank. Asparagus Plumosus. In the pressure of other work, such as emptying and refilling rose and car- nation benches, asparagus plants are apt (Continued on page 55) 10 The Weekly Florists' Review* JCLY 23, 1908. <':#^.<*^.W^<^.W-':^.<*^.<»%.^*^.<*%.'<^.<<^-''fe^r^''^;^'fe^r»>-^r»>-fe.-»>-fer»>-U»)-fe»>-i STATE STUDIES ^ FOR FLORISTS FOREIGN EXPERIMENTAL WORK. Results of Investigations at Urbana. The study of European experiments in tlie forcing of etherized plants, as report- ed, in tlie last issue of the Review, have ..een supplemented at Urbana by compar- isons of the use of different anesthetics. Among other results these comparisons brought out the fact that tetrachloride of carbon can be substituted for ether or chloroform with the advantage that it is less expensive and is not inflamma- ble. It is stated to give nearly as good results. An Italian gardener has shown that a succession of flowers can be had on the same forced lilacs by grafting in bud- boaring branches from plants in the open as soon as the flowering of the plant it- self is completed. The buds grafted in begin to develop in from ten to twelve days and open in about twenty days. In experiments by Ledien simultaneous removal of leaves, as practiced to force autumn flowering, and etherization gave quite different results with different va- rieties. Plants etherized with the leaves on held their leaves and put out a sec- ond crop of flowers promptly. "When the leaves were stripped off, the leaves were somewhat injured by the treatment, but "secondary buds under" were form- ed promptly and made flowers. But some varieties will not force in summer, wheth- er the leaves are stripped off or not. Plants may be defoliated and forced any time after the new buds are formed, wliich at Dresden is about the end of July. It has been shown, further, that a close, moist, warm air may be substituted for etherization and that the plants force as quickly. Plants may be taken from the field any time after the buds are fonned. Most varieties must be defoli- ated. Plants left in the drier air out- doors, but otherwise similarly treated, did not blossom. The same investigator has further shown that lilacs which have once been etherized and forced can be successfully subjected to the same treatment the second time, provided they are heavily fertilized in the interim, but not trans- planted. Forcing After Cold Storage. Cold storage as a means of forcing is being experimented with somewhat. Villebenoist has made »»eh experiments with lilacs. Plants put in an ice-house at a temperature of 1 to 2 degrees C. for eighteen days made flowers iq another eighteen days. Ten out of eleven flower buds made good clusters. Cheek plants were eight days later in blossoming, the flowers were weak and small and only one bud out of ten ever opened at all. In fact, these, taken with other recent ex- periments in Germany, indicate that li- lacs can be forced earlier by cold stor- :ige than by etherization. Experiments With Valley. It is found that cold storage is es- pecially desirable for lilies of the valley in seasons Avhen the fall has been wet and the pips have not ripened up well. In cold storage they get dried out and rested. Various experiments in forcing lily of the valley pips are reported. Pips should be kept cold until they are planted. Start them at a low temperature and keep them shaded and very moist. As soon as the first flowerlets begin to bend over, the pots should be trans- ferred to a cooler place. Considerable investigations have been made on the growing of pips, especially for forcing. Soil is found to have a very considerable effect on forcing quality. On light, rather poor, dry soil early flow- ering pips are produced which are easily forced. These are liable to make small flowerlets, however. A heavy or humus and moist soil makes large pips, which do not always yield a satisfactory proportion of flow- ers. They force slowly, but the number and size of their flowerlets are gener- ally very large. Experiments have been made in forc- ing with electric light, especially for lilacs. In experiments by Harancourt an electric light of 18 candle-power run through the night produced flowers in fifteen days, whereas the check required twenty-four days. In this experiment no reflector was used. In a later experi- ment, with a reflector, still more marked results were obtained. (To be continued.) BOSTON. The Market A little improvement is noticeable in the flower market this week, not due to any increased demand but rather to a slackening off in supplies. Outdoor flow- ers were a good deal damaged early in the week by torrential rains, asters suf- fering the most in this respect. Of these latter some good blooms are now coming in. Sweet peas have been helped by late rains and are a little better in quality. Gypsophila is quite abundant and sells fairly well. Quite a few outdoor gladioli are also now arriving. They come in useful for decorating store windows. Roses, outside of Kaiserin and Carnot, are of poor quality. For such Beauties as there are, demand is light. Carnations are small and gradually becoming less. Ii will not be long, however, before flow- ers from indoor grown stock will be coming in. Of lilies there is a sufficient supply. For valley there is little call, while trade in green stock is quiet. Sweet Pea Show. There were fears that the prolonged drought and heat wave would completely spoil this interesting annual show. It was therefore an agreeable surprise to find such a fine display at Horticjiltural hall July 18. Edwin Jenkins, of Lenox, was the largest exhibitor and captured most of the first prizes. For twelve vases, distinct varieties, his sorts were Henry Eckford, Hon. Mrs. E. Kenyon, Helen Pierce, Florence M. Spencer, Lady Grisel Hamilton, Boreatton, Lord Nelson, Bolton 's Pink, White Spencer, Queen Alexandra, Flora Norton and a Spencer sport. In this class Joseph Thorpe was second and Thomas Howden third. For fifty sprays white, E. Jenkins led with White Spencer, Thomas Howden second, W. A. Riggs third. Fifty light pink, T. Howden first with Countess Spencier, E. Jenkins second, W. A. Riggs third. Fifty rose, T. Howden first with George Herbert, W. A. Riggs second, Col. F. Mason, E. L. Lewis gardener, third. Fifty blue or purple, E. Jenkins first with Duke of Westminster, T. Howden second, Mrs. Lester Leland, E. E. Wet- terlow gardener, third. Fifty lavender, E. Jenkins first with Flora Norton, T. Howden second. Col. Fred Mason third. Fifty red or crimson, T. Howden first with Queen Alexandra, T. Howden sec- ond. Fifty orange or salmon, E. Jenkins first with Evelyn Byatt, T. Howden sec- ond. Fifty any other color, E. Jenkins first with Primrose Spencer, W. A. Riggs second. Col. F. Mason third. Mrs. Lester Leland made an extensive display of named sweet peas, a smaller one coming from W. Whitman, M. Sul- livan gardener, and E. L. Lewis. Blue Hill Nurseries once again captured both first and second prizes for thirty varieties of herbaceous plants; Bellevue Nurseries, A. E. Poetsch manager, third. Harvard Botanic Gardens had a good display of gloxinias and.achimines. F. J. Rea had a collection of herbaceous plants ; Mrs. E. M. Gill, a general display including the first dahlias of the season; W. Whit- man, herbaceous plants; George Hollis, a collection of phloxes; Mrs. F. Ayer, George Page gardener, specimen Aspara- gus Sprengeri, and R. & J. Farquhar & Co., a large collection of lierbaceous plants, also seedling amaryllis from the open and several new lilies from north- ern China, awarded honorable mention. Among the latter, one with ivory-white flowers of the size and form of L. aura- tum was fine. Another carried flowers the size of L. Brownii, but pale yellow in color. Various Notes. Remember the Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club picnic at Pine Banks park, Maiden, July 29. Electric cars from the elevated railroad at Sullivan Square for Melrose pass the grounds at frequent in- tervals. The sports committee has se- cured a handsome lot of prizes and noth- ing but good weather is needed to make the affair a pronounced success. The sports will start at 10 a. m. sharp, with the two baseball games. David Lumsden was in town last week. He is now assistant professor of horti- culture at the New Hampshire Agricul- tural College. Our prolonged drought was broken by a number of severe thunder storms July 19 and 20. The rains were of a torren- tial nature and badly battered outside flowers. The next show at Horticultural hall will be August 8, when perennial phloxes and annuals will be specialties.

The Bellevue Nurseries, West Roxbury, is a promising new concern, making a specialty of herbaceous perennials. A. E. Poetsch, who is in charge, is a good, practical grower. A number of carnation growers are now busy housing their plants. These, owing to the drought, average smaller than usual, W. N. Craig. Charles Rose, who is 18 years old and was formerly an employee of Wax Bros., at 143 Tremont street, has been arrested on tie charge of entering that firm's store at several diflferent times and steal- ing small sums of money from the cash drawer. It is thought that he gained entrance to the store through the rear, with skeleton keys. On the evening of July 17 a fire, sup- posed to be of incendiary origin, de- stroyed a part of the greenhouses at Adams and Wrentham streets, the prop- erty of Thomas Mead, of 615 Adams street. The blalie started in the rear of the building and became quite spectacu- lar, attracting a big crowd. The firemen* extinguished it in an hour. Nearly 1,000 panes of glass were shattered, the total damage being $500. LASTING QUALITIES OF CYPRESS. During the present excavations through- out the older portion of New Orleans, for the new sewer system, quite a num- ber of unknown or forgotten burial grounds have been traversed and mfeny coflBns, constructed of cypress, in a per- fectly sound condition, have been unearth- ed. Some of these, from the coins and buttons found, undoubtedly contained the remains of Spanish soldiers, but until July 8 no coffin had been found bearing a date or other means of identification. It so happens that nearly all coffins con- tained metal name plates and those found were so badly corroded that nothing could be deciphered. During excavations at St. Louis and Basin streets, a coffin was brought to light which contained the inscription "Hendric Miller, 1803," carved in the wood. This coffin, ex- cept for the discoloration of the wood, was as sound as the day it was made and the illustration herewith shows the end board of the coffin, a portion of which has been surfaced to show the grain. The illustration also shows the pkull of Hen- dric Miller and the iron cross which un- doubtedly surmounted the grave, the lat- ter being so badly rusted that only a few letters and the date are decipherable. The interest in this centers in the oft repeated story of the durability of cypress and the fact that the hand- forged nails of which the coffin was con- structed were not rusted where they were driven into the wood. These nails are shown in the illustration and should set at rest the theory that has sometimes been advanced, that cypress contains an acid which will rust nails. DES MOINES, L^. The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Wil- son, on Thirty-fifth and Woodland avenue, was the scene of a beautiful wedding July 20, when their daughter. Miss Clara Graham Wilson, became the bride of Earl Jay Weaver, The guests, who numbered thirty-five, were received by Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, parents of the bride, Miss Maude Weaver, a sister of the groom, and Miss Wilson and Mrs. Weaver. The parlors were beautifully decorated in the color scheme of green and white, flowers and ferns being used in profusion. Preceding the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. James P. Bur- ling, of the Greenwood Congregational church, the bride's brother, Alexander Wilson, sang ' ' I Love You Truly, ' ' by Carrie Jacob Bond, and following the benediction, James Rogers ' ' ' Dear, When 1 Gaze" was sung by Mr. Wilson, »ac- companied on the piano by Miss Perle Fulmer. Refreshments were served in the dining-room, following hearty con- gratulations. Miss Wilson recently came to Des Moines with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Wilson, and by her charming per- sonality has won a large circle of friends, who regret her departure from the city. Mr. Weaver is a prominent young busi- ness man of Bloomington, 111., and is manager of -the Pantograph, the largest daily newspaper published in Blooming- ton. P, B. F. DETROIT. The Market There is considerably less funeral work being called for this July, as compared with last year. This can hardly be at- tributed to the financial condition of the country. Last year many of our promi- nent citizens passed away about this time of the year and some expensive work was called for. When a good order does happen in, it is a pretty hard matter to scare up enough stock to fill it. A few roses and some good peas are about the only avail- able flowers. The roses are small flow- ers, but the color is good, as also is the stem. What few asters are on the market are only fair in quality. Carnations are still holding on, al- though we could get along as well with- out them, excepting probably when it comes to making up designs. Qub Meetin£. Upon invitation of our kind-hearted secretary, the last regular meeting of the Detroit Florists' Club was held on the lawn at his greenhouses," qut on Gratiot road. The president and other officers occupied chairs on the well lighted ve- randa, while some fifty members were seated about the lawn, A number of Japanese lanterns added to the pleasant- ness of the surroundings. This new in- novation was such a success that it is hoped more will follow. Before calling the boys to order. Presi- dent Scribner called on Philip Breit- meyer for a few words. Mr. Breitmeyer, it will be understood, is in the race for mayor of this city. He had little to say, except that he expected the support of every member when the time for voting comes. This he was assured, even by the stanch democrats. Several other members said a few words in favor of Mr, Breitmeyer, among them being Mr. Rackham, who would not say how he would -vote, but did say that never can he remember seeing the work in the public parks of this city handled in such a business-like way as it has been under the supervision of Park Com- missioner Breitmeyer, The meeting was then called to order. Under miscellaneous business, it was moved that the secretary be instructed to change the club 's by-laws to read that henceforth the secretary and treasurer be exempt from dues; also that what was now due from the present officer* be remitted to them. The whole matter was placed on the table, to be settled at the meeting of July 5. The members present all seemed to favor the above move. Both the secre- tary and treasurer, and especially the 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 23, 1908. former, are compelled to devote con- siderable of their own time to the club 's' affairs and it was thought no more than right that they receive something in re- turn. The committee on badges submitted a design for a pin to be worn at out- ings, etc. This matter was left in the hands of the committee, who were in- structed to order a stipulated number of pins of a design on which they decided. These pins are to be paid for by the individual members. The matter of the annual outing was left in the hands of the entertainment committee. The name of Whi. B. Brown was added to this committee. This was a wise move, as Mr. Brown is what might be termed an expert at entertaining. The committee was allowed a goodly sum by the club, to be used for premiums, etc. July 27 is the date set for the outing. Treasurer Taepke had been doing some tall hustling all day, thereby greatly reducing the sum of outstanding dues. His report showed that there is still a much larger amount of back dues than should be, and the delinquents are asked to please remit by next meeting. Along about ten o'clock refreshments were served and a recess was called. The way the boys got away with those sand- wiches was a caution. J. F. Sullivan was mentioned as a can- didate for secretary of the S. A. F. Mr. Sullivan has been the club secretary for over six years, and each and every mem- ber knows that a more capable man to handle the clerical end of our national society would be hard to find. Mr. Sulli- van will have the most hearty support of his fellow club members in Detroit, who highly indorse him as a worjhy can- didate. Once before Mr. Sullivan thought of entering into the race for secretary, but, not wishing to run against a friend, he withdrew. This time his Detroit friends will not let him withdraw. George Rackham was reinstated as a full-fledged member of the club, on his own wishes. At the time of going out of the business the club put Mr. Backham on its list as an honorary member, but, as he puts it, he did not want to be only a bump on a log. The election of officers takes place on the evening of the next meeting and a large turnout is hoped for. Various Notes. Alexander Common has purchased the stores at 412 and 414 Grand River ave- nue, this city. He will remove his flo- rists' and fruit business to this new address as soon as he can dispose of the fixtures, etc., at the old place, 1407-9 Woodward avenue. Harry Rackham has accepted a po- sition with Mr. Valentine at Denver, Colo. Harry Smith, formerly of Grosse Pointe, has purchased two and a quarter acres of land opposite the Evergreen cemetery entrance, out on Woodward ave- nue. Mr. Smith intends to erect Several houses on this land at once, and do a general florists' business. The beauti- ful new Woodlawn cemetery is also with- in a few hundred feet of Mr. Smith's new place, as are the • State Fair grounds. So far, Mr. Smith will have this field all to himself and, with proper management, his success is already as- sured. The Kenneth Anderson Mfg. Co. has received a large order for pipe and fit- tings for Breitmcyer's Mount Clemens place. This order includes several hun- dred feet of 5-inch pipe, to be used as an overhead main in the new section, and also as a pipe for drawing water ■from the river just below their place. Forest H. Hitchcock, of the Lohrman Seed Co., has been away on a few weeks' vacation. Norman Sullivan is to act as captain of the bowling team that is going after the honors at the convention. Philip Breitmeyer left early ' on the evening of the last meeting to catch the boat for Cleveland. George Rackham has been engaged on Belle Isle' the better part of the sum- mer. He has charge of a large number of men doing outside work. Wni. Dilger left for New York Wednes- day, July 22, on a specially equipped car, to bring back a carload of live fish from the Bermudas for the aquarium at Belle Isle. The Michigan Chit Flower Exchange baseball team has ventured on new ground. Sunday morning, July 19, they played one of the strong amateur teams of this city, winning by a score of 16 to 10. They are now after a game with our pennant winners. ,; H. S. ST. LOUIS. The Market From reports of some of our lead- ing florists, July business so far has been fairly goyd, but only as far as funeral work is concerned. Outside of this, we would say that it is dull. Stock of all kinds is of poor quality. This is specially true of roses and carnations. In roses, white and pink Cochet are coming in from Canfield's, of Spring- field, and finding a good market, owing to the scarcity of other varieties. Quite a lot of Beauties are coming in, but none of the best quality. First grade carna- tions are scarce. Those that come in are small; white, and good Enchantress are in demand. Asters are coming in better, and it is said that by next week they should be plentiful in all colors. Gladioli are in plenty; in fact, there are too many for the demand. All the light colors are selling well. Thi> darker shades are used for window decorations. Tuberose stalks are beginning to come in, and those, too, will soon be in plenty. The bulk of them come from Kirkwood. Qub Picnic The club picnic took place July 15. This is one of the great events of the year among the florists in and around St. Louis. J. Pluvius tried to butt in and make things disagreeable, but finally behaved. The morning crowd was small, but every car after dinner came loaded down with florists, accompanied by their families. Normandy grove is a beauti- ful place and Messrs. Schoenle, Smith and Beyer did their work well. The features of the day were the ball game and the bowling. The ball game drew a large crowd. Umpire Ostertag had a hard time of it. Though a re- tailer, he seemed to favor the wholesalers. Fred Ammann, the other umpire, gave way to A. J. Bentzen. Only five innings were played, the score at the end being 9 to 8 in favor of the wholesale team. Pitchers Huetemann and Schriefer did fine work. Each side got five hits and each pitcher struck out ten men. Mis- plays on both sides caused the big scores. Catchers Alves and Weber also did great work. The bowling was in charge of Carl Beypr. The alleys and balls were in bad condition, causing poor scores to be made. Twenty-five ladies took part in the first event. Mrs; Theo. Miller was first, with 128; Mrs. Qarl Beyer second, with 98; Mrs. E. W. Guy third, with 90. Miss McWenne w6n the booby prize, a bottle of catsup. She failed to knock down a pin in a full game. Twenty men bowled. First prize was won by Charles Kuehn, his score being 195; Theo, Miller second, with 189; Carl Beyer third, with 185. E. W. Guy won the year's subscription to the Review for the grower making the highest score, 180. The booby prize went to Frank Vennemann. In the other games the prizes were as follows: One litindred yard dash — Aug. Hartinan first. One hundred yard dash for boys — Eddie O'Kourke first. Ejfg aud spoon race — Miss H. Rlesson first. Hop. step and jump — Fred Alves first. Fifty yard dash for girls — Miss Martha Win ter first. P'lfty yard diisli for Ijoys— C. Bentzen first. 'i'wo hundred and twenty yard run — Aug. Hartman first. Hoys' and girls' pritato race — Ed Fitzgerald and Miss Winter first. Tlie tug of war was not [Hilled off and the box of cigars donated by H. Balsley will l)e smoked by the members at the next club meeting. • The ])rlze for waltzing was won by Miss Mln- nh" Beyers; her partner was fiddle Gerlach. Harry Ostertag assisted the trustees in starting all the events. The rest of the ■ evening the younger folks indulged in dancing, bowling and other amusements, which were in plenty all over the grounds. It was near midnight when all went home, saying that this year's outing was the best ever given by the club. Thus the fifteenth annual picnic passed into history. Henry Emunds, E. W. Guy and Adolph Fehr, with their families, represented Belleville. Mrs. Guy took the cake in bowling. We missed Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Weber and their daughter, who are traveling in thts west; but Fred C., Jr., and Herman were on hand to represent the family. Fred Ammann, as usual, came from Edwardsville to be with his many friends in the trade. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Weber and his brother, Frank, known as "the handsome old bachelor," came all the way frorn^ Gardenville and met many old friends. Charles Schoenle, Carl Beyer and Will Smith were here, there and everywhere the whole day long. They deserv-e a great deal of credit for the good time we all had. Eddie Gerlach was the happiest man on the grounds after winning the prize waltz with Miss Beyers. Henry Berning, wife and sister. Miss Berning, had an enjoyable time in the bowling alleys. Billy Winter, W. J. Pilcher, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Ude, Sr., and August Hart man represented Kirkwood. The S. A. F. state vice-president, John Steidle, and wife enjoyed the day very much. Mr. Steidle was talking conven- tion and S. A. F. membership to all in- terested. Henry Ostertag, with his daughter and a large force of employees, occupied one large table and looked like a happy fam- ily at dinner. C. C. Sanders, chairman of the execu- tive committee of the St. Louis Horti- cultural Society, brought out his whole family and said they enjoyed the day very much. Charlie Kuehn, .Jr., found a pocketbook containing money on the grounds. The party losing it can have it by calling at Kuehn 's wholesale store. Francis Fillmore, aged 90, was on hand '•».,•,. ^,>;, JCLT 23, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 13 as usual, looking as spry as a two-year- old. This is one of the events that he looks forward to with great pleasure. Charlie Kuehn was as happy as a boy with his first pair of boots when he came in for first prize in bowling. It was a box of cigars and he does not smoke, but his friends did so. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Miller and their daughter spent an enjoyable after- noon. Mrs. Miller took first prize among the lady bowlers, and Mr. Miller came in second among the men. Edwin Denker came all the way from St. Charles to spend a day 6t enjoy- ment and was glad he came. Charles Fulgraf and G. H. Pring repre- sented Shaw's garden. We missed Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Irish, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Trelease and others from the gar- den. Various Notes. V George Angermueller and wife left July 18 for a vacation trip to the north- ern lakes, to be gone two weeks. George Schriefer, of Kuehn 's, is off for ten days' vacation. He will put in his time practicing his new curve ball at one of the big league parks. Mr. and Mrs. John Connon have re- turned from their eastern trip. They took in all the big eastern cities, also a trip through Canada. While in the latter place he met a John Connon, a flo- rist, who is also a Scotchman. Mr. Con- non reports that he is remodeling his old houses and will at once start building a new one, 25x150, for roses. Albert Senger, who runs a store at 4271 Cote Brilliante avenue, reports that he has leased the greenhouses of Edward Hicks, on Garfield avenue, just back of his place. Mr. Hicks retired from busi- ness. His son, Ned, is now employed in the city hall. Mrs. M. M. Ayers reports that the day of the picnic she had one of her busy days with funeral work, having the fam- ily order for the Niedering house funer- al. For that reason she failed to at- tend. Fred Pape reports that he has closed his branch store at Grand and Park avenues, as the business was not up to his expectations. We had with us, last week, E. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co. Mr. Eschner reports that he has been appointed official boom- er by the Cincinnati florists for the con- vention of 1909, and he is doing good work. Mr. Hasting, representing A. H. Hews & Co., of Cambridge, Mass., is in the city. Mr. Stern, of Philadelphia, was a caller last week. J. J. B. PEORIA, ILL. A. M. Augspurger, president of the firm of D. U. Augspurger & Sons, is con- templating an extended trip to the Euro- pean markets. - Frank Jerabek is adding two new houses, 37x50 feet. Henry Jacobs has resigned his position with J. C. Murray. He is now employed by D. U. Augspurger & Sons. J. Nelson, successor to Nelson & Klop- fer, disponed of 2,000 4-inch and 5-inch Boston fertis, and Whitmani and Amer- pohlii in smaller sizes, to a local whole- sale plant firm. A. M. Augspurger will be a business caller fn Chicago this week. Mr. Steinmetz, representing the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, called on the local florists this week. H. C. R. NEW ORLEANS. dub Meetui£. For the twenty-third time since its or- ganization the New Orleans Horticultural Society held the election of its officers for the current year at the annual meet- ing in Kolb's hall, July 16! Richard P. Steckler was elected presi- dent; Henry Shuermann, vice president; C. R. Panter, secretary; John Eblen, treasurer. R. P. Steckler is the junior member of the J. Steckler Seed Co., Ltd. He was born in Iberia thirty-six years ago, and has been in the seed business since a boy, working under the direction of his uncle, the late Richard Frossher, the veteran seedsman of the south, and the founder of the business carried on by this company, established in 1865. Un- der the management of the two brothers Steckler, the firm has been largely im- proved and is counted now among the largest- of its kind in the south. They issue a large catalogue in five different languages, and their plant and live stock department is also important. Richard Steckler is secretary-treasurer of the com- pany. He is also a member of the Amer- ican Seed Trade Association, of the Knights of Pythias and the Elks. He was married about ten years ago to Miss Marie Louise Broussard. Three boys were born of this union. The members of the New Orleans Horticultural So- ciety could hardly have made a better choice for their president, and under his management the society will prosper. Henry Shuermann, elected vice-presi- dent, has been in the employ of the Me- tairie Ridge Nursery Co. for several years and previously worked for other florists in the city. He is well qualified for the position. There is nothing new to say about the two old reliables, ('. R. Panter, secre- tary, and John Eblen, treasurer. A letter was read from Mr. Wilson, of Poulan, Ga., on "The Advantages of Growing Flowers in the South for Con- sumption in the J^orth. ' ' Ed Baker, wJio had left the society for some time, made a new application for active membership and was elected. R. Eichling -was too busy with his bride to attend the meeting, but he sent a letter of thanks for the present he received from the members on the occa- sion of his wedding. Henry Cook exhibited some well grown asters. Following the meeting, a dinner was highly enjoyed. Various Notes. R. Eichling, at U. J. Virgin's, has a fine bed of Silver Thimble chrysanthe- mums. They come handy around the first part of November, to make fine, delicate sprays of flowers, and then are always scarce and in demand. At the last meeting of the executive committee of the Home Manufacturers' Exhibition, which is to be held in New Orleans September 1 to 13. it was de- cided to permit florists and flower design manufacturers to take part in the exhi- bition, and they will be accordingly noti- fied. A small fee will be paid for space. M. M. L. Greenwich, Conn. — Alexander Mead & Son have bought the greenhouses of John Cooke, at the corner of Lafayette place and Lake avenue, and the buildings will be torn down, to make room for dwelling houses. Mead & Son will use the material in extending and improving their range of houses. H The Weekly Florists^ Review^ July 23, 1008. THE FLORISTS* REVIEW G. L. GRANT, Editoe and Managbb.

Cement is cheap and it pays to lay in a few barrels before renewed building activity sends the price up again. The lumber interests have undertaken a "build now" campaign in the impor- tant business centers of the country. The correspondent E. A. R., who told how he grows callas in solid beds in last week's Review, says he plants four rows in a 4-f oot bench, instead of * * four inches across," as stated last week. EXHIBITORS AT NIAGARA. Since my last report on the trade ex- hibition, the following have sent in con- tracts for the amount of space set oppo- site: Exhibitor. Square feet. Garford Motor Car Co 160 Robert Craig Co 260 Lord & Burnbam Co 262 J. Horace McFarland 82 D. B. Long 42 Florists' Review 100 J. A. Peterson 76 Wilson & Hoyt 48 L.

Yeagle 350 This with the space already reported makes a total of 7,563 square feet sold to date. A goodly amount of this space is still available, but especially those who wish large blocks should hurry or they may get left on good locations. Chas. H. Keitsch, Supt. STATE OF BUSINESS. Probably the best index to the' condi- tion of general trade is the volume of bank clearings, which have been running below those of the year before ever since last October, As New York is the finan- cial center of the country, it is natural that the heaviest falling oflf should be in that city, but the falling off there is not wholly due. to a decrease in trade activ- ity in the city but to the general decline throughout the country. How nearly general trade activity now approaches normal is shown by the fact that last week's bank clearings, compared with the same week of 1907, showed a decrease of 18.5 per cent in New York but only 5.3 per cent for all the country outside the metropolis. At Chicago the decrease was only 3.5 per cent, at Boston 8.G per cent and at Kansas Oity 5.1 increase. BIG CONVENTION ASSURED. There is splendid prospect for the suc- cess of the S. A. F. convention this year and it will be all the more noteworthy because held at a place where there is no local florists' club — Niagara Falls. Of course the Buffalo Florists' Club is ■' doing good w^ork in the matter of ar- ranging details, and on Friday, August 21, will entertain both the S. A. F. and the Canadian Horticultural Association at Buffalo, but with the exception of meeting at Asheville, which was an out-of-the-way place, it will be the first time the society has gathered in numbers at a spot where there are no large num- ber of local florists to offer daily entertainment. At Niagara nature does the entertaining, aided by the superb hotel accommodations and the facilities for sightseeing which have been provided for the hundreds of thousands of visitors who come there each year. The business men's organiza- tion has been specially anxious for some years to get the S. A. F. to visit Niagara Falls and is making arrangements to in- sure each florist seeing all the sights. The prospects are for probably the largest gathering yet held by the trade and this is reflected in the early applica- tions for space in the trade's exhibition — the exhibitors expect to do a splendid business, and there is every reason why they should. Incidentally, too, their fees will be the principal source of income to meet the expenses of the meeting. "While the receipts from this source are a goodly sum, the charge against individual ex- hibitors is small, the rates per square foot of space occupied being fixed by the society, as follows: Minimum charge $5.00 Fifty feet or less, per foot 26 Excess over 50 feet to 100 feet 19 Excess over 100 feet 18 Charles H. Keitsch, 810 Main street, Buffalo, who was manager of the trade's exhibition at the Buffalo convention, is in charge again this year and says that the space already sold is much greater than usual at so early a date and indi- cates the largest trade's exhibition yet held. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Business, of course, is not what it was in June, but nevertheless it feon- tinues to show an increase over the cor- responding period of last year. This is' especially gratifying in that the sum- mer of 1907 was less quiet than any in the previous history of this market, and it looks as though the increase in summer business is more than offsetting any decrease in trade due to the falling off which other lines are experiencing. The supply of Beauties is larger than a week ago and they are selling well. But the best rose on the market is Kil- larney, and it is the one principally sought. It so far outclasses Maid and other pink varieties that they are slow sale so long as Killarney can be had. Kaiserin has the call on Bride. The supply is not large at present and in- creased crops, which are promised, will be welcome. There are good supplies July 23, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review.

The aster is taking the place of the carnation and growers of the latter flow- er under glass are making haste to re- plant their houses. There are, however, now some good carnations from the field to compete with the asters. The latter already are showing considerable increase in the length of stem and before the week is out there will be large supplies of fine flowers. The good stock thus far received has sold excellently. The carnations still received from indoors continue better than average summer flowers, and a great many shipping orders are received for them.

Indeed, the sale for all summer flowers is excellent aod the houses which make a specialty of outdoor stock are reporting an especially good week. Sweet peas are not as numerous as they were, and therefore are averaging a little better prices. Gladioli are much more plentiful, but continue to sell well. Peonies are still to be had, but the current week will probablv finish them off. A large part of the business of the retailers is funeral work and this is reflected in the market by the calls for white and light flowers and for sphag- num moss, galax and ferns. There has been a lull in the demand for Sprengeri, but plumosus bunches sell well. Strings of green are not in special request at this season. Last of the Peonies. July 20 E. C.

The picnic grounds are only a hun- dred yards from Plant A of the Poehl- mann Bros. Co., and during the after- noon most of the growers took the oppor- tunity of going through that establish- ment. Not many had seen the new pack- ing-shed, office and refrigerating plant. Nothing about the place seems to so greatly impress the visitors as this re- cent addition to the equipment. What struck the growers most forcibly was the extremely light shade on the carna- tion houses; the young stock looked fine with just a sprinkle of shade on the side of the house that gets the direct sun, and one house had no shade at all. In one of the new houses built this season the Everlasting tile bench, sold by the Camp Conduit Co., Cleveland, had just been set up the day before. Au- gust Poehlmann said that after the men found how to set the supports level the bench went together quickly and he was well pleased with it. .John Poehlmann says that an order has been placed for 600 barrels of cement, which during the winter will be manufactured into mov- able concrete benches for use in that part of the range which will have to be supplied with new benches next year.

Word has reached this market that Gunnar Teilmann, the well-known grower of chrysanthemums who ships here from Marion, Ind., has been offered the civil eervice job of head gardener at the sol- diers' home in Tennessee, and that he will sell or lease his place in Marion. Webster Randall spent a few days last week on A. L. Randall's fruit farm in Michigan and incidentally tried to cut a finger off. These city people are not wise to the dangers of country life. Bassett & Washburn are giving a little blow-out every afternoon at the city store — the auratums are not opening fast enough in the field. Kennicott Bros. Co. makes a specialty' of outdoor flowers and reports a record July business. Walter Retzer, formerly of this city, is up from St. Louis to visit a brother in Rogers Park. Louis Wittbold has invented a punch for making drainage holes in concrete benches while the concrete is still soft, doing away with the corks formerly used. H. F. Port, of Maywood, has returned from Las Vegas, N. M., where he has been for some time for his health. Fred Nelson has returned from a vaca- tion of three weeks, spent at his old home at Galesburg. The Wittbold retail staff went to Edge- brook one day recently for a game of tall with the greenhouse force there. They say the score was 11 to 3 in favor of the storemen, but the way they look at each other when telling it leads to at least a suspicion it was the other way about. Nick Pontrich, a Louisville, Ky., flo- rist, has been visiting his son, Mike Pont- rich, who is with the Wittbolds. PHILADELPHIA. The Ritins Eastern Market. The feature of the cut flower market, as I write, is the unusual scarcity of flowers, both choice and ordinary. There is not an especially heavy demand, but the fellow with the order has to do some lively hustling if he wants to fill it in good shape. This scarcity is due to this being between seasons with the indoor flowers, and the devastation wrought in the outdoor stock by the extraordinary drought, a drought so long continued that sweet peas locally grown have suc- cumbed entirely, and even such hardy stock as feverfew and achillea is af- fected.

Mention The Review when you write. The supply of asters, probably the most popular summer flower, appears to be short this season. It seems as though most growers had not planted as many as in years gone by. At any rate, they have not increased in the same propor- tion as the demand. The stock is scarce, very scarce on some days, and while not extraordinarily good, anything at all pre- sentable is in lively demand. Valley is also eagerly sought. Now that the choicer flowers are mostly out of the way, valley and Cattleya Gaskelliana have the field pretty much to themselves. Carnations are scarcer, a good judge tells me, than he has ever seen them in the end of July. The extraordinary heat of May and June, followed by the pres- ent none too cool month, has made it im- possible to keep carnations in good con- dition. Gladioli are becoming more plentiful. Kaiserin is in good supply. New crop Beauties, locally grown, of good color and substance, can be had with excellent stems. ,The reduction in the supply of outdoor flowers has caused better aver- age prices than for some time past, though of course this stock sells cheaply. The Express Charge on Ice. The Review two weeks ago, on its contents page, printed an interview with Edward Reid regarding the unfairne.ss of the express companies in charging full rates for cut flowers packed with ice on the ground that cut flowers are a lux- ury, when so-called ' * necessary commodi- ties," such as celery and celery plants, mushroom spawn, bulbs, etc., may be packed in ice and havo a discount of twenty-five per cent in weight deducted for ice. Mr. Reid wrote to the Inter- state Commerce Commission asking that cut flowers be placed on this classified list, which receives the discount. The Inter- state Commerce Commission has replied acknowledging Mr. Reid's letter, and stating that the matter would be taken up with the Adams Express Co. Samuel S. Pennock, when asked what he thought regarding the admission of cut flowers to this classified list, said he believed that they were entitled to admis- sion, and that Mr. Reid's effort to ob- tain the discount had his hearty support. Arthur A. Niessen said he believed that customers were entitled to a dis- count covering tbe weight of ice, because his company had frequently received com- plaints from their customers that a box that was billed at, for instance, sixty-five pounds, on being weighed on its arrival was found to weigh only forty or fifty pounds, the decrease being due to the melting of the ice. Mr. Niessen thought the placing of cut flowers on the classi- fied list was only just. A Chat With Wm. Swayne. William Swayne is generally recog- nized as the leading florist of Kennett, and probably of Chester county, by right of his long and successful business career. Mr. Swayne worked, when a lad, on a farm, and later took up the grow- ing of flowers and plants under glass. Like nearly all farmers who have gone into our business, he succeeded from the first, but, unlike many of the farmers, his success continues. Mr. Swayne owes his success not only to his ability as a grower, but also to his painstaking care and to his excellent business qualities. A few days ago Phil induced Mr. Swayne to talk about business questions of interest. Mr. Swayne said that he thought that Chester county florists took fully as much in now, in dollars and cents, from their greenhouses as they did July 23, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review.

When asked why the Chester county carnation growers were not hold- ing up their end as of yore, Mr. Swayne said that he thought it was partly due to their, unwillingness to experiment with the fancy varieties. As an instance of this, be/ said that he believed more fancy stock goes to England than is^used in Chester'-eounty. ^x When as^fed concerning the futujre of_-K mushroom growing, Mr. Swayne said^hjtt he believed that in time this industiy would fall into the hands of specialists, but that for the present the mushrooms are a profitable side issue for carnation- ists. When asked about the profit in tomatoes, Mr. Swayne laughed and said that his old friend, the late William Scott, used to poke no end of fun at him for growing tomatoes with his flowers. "But, you see," Mr. Swayne added, conclusively, "it paid me." In discussing the question of the in- door culture of carnations, so ably cham- pioned by Edmund A. Harvey before the Philadelphia Florists' Club last Febru- ary, Mr. Swayne said that he believed that this was the proper method of grow- ing carnations, but that to grow them in this way one must have houses adapted for the purpose. * * My own houses, ' ' he added, "would not do for summer use." Plant Wrinkles. There seems to be a growing den\and for specimen crotons, the stock of this popular plant having doubled at the es- tablishment of the Robt. Craig Co. since last season. Just now the firm is send- ing out shapely little plants, to be grown into specimens of any number of recog- nized varieties, and a good many seed- lings not yet known in commerce. Mr. Craig thought that well colored small plants of crotons were also gaining in popular favor for combinations in bas- kets; used in this way, a rich, deep color is essential. The variety of gardenias forced for the London market — its name is in dis- pute— is becoming more and more popu- lar on this side of the Atlantic. Mr, (.'raig is just now distributing good sized bushy plants for forcing.

He believes it is not merely a fad, but that the gardenia has acquired a hold on the flower lovers. He instanced the extreme popularity of the violet-gardenia corsage bouquet, in which a single gardenia is used with a bunch of violets, a combination which, both in color and in fragrance, leaves little to be desired. The latest wrinkle in ferns of the nephrolepis family is to grow them in pots instead of planting them out. Of course, suflBcient stock is planted out for runners, but the bulk of the stock of all the varieties is grown in pots from 214- inch up. Mr. Craig thought that by this method a more shapely plant could bo secured and that it had the added ad- 20 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ JULV 23. 1908.

He admitted that he could have sold more, by which his interviewer stupidly understood him to mean that he had not enough, but Mr. Craig is too honest a man to allow this mistake to pass, and he explained that, as in everything else, more Ficus pandu- rata could have been sold this season had the orders been forthcoming. But he was better satisfied with the demand for Ficus pandurata than for almost any- thing else on the list.

Another pretty combination is made with holly leaves and berries, with pine burrs, bring- ing a delicious scent of the woods, added. Magnolia crosses in steel gray express the prevailing color popular in Germany to- day. This steel gray will be a feature in many other styles of florists' supplies.

Leonakd, of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, has been in the Wisconsin pea district for several days. The bean crops are now at a stage when the weather is the factor in de- termining what the harvest shall be. Visited Chicago. — "Walter Eetzer, vice- president St. Louis Seed Co., St. Louis, Mo.; Harry A. Bunyard, representing A. T. Boddington, New York. Richard Steckleb, seedsman, has been elected president of the New Orleans Horticultural Society. His portrait ap- pears on another page of this issue. The weather in the central west is re- ported favorable to the onion seed crop. The seed balls are well filled out and harvest only about three weeks off. At Louisville the growers are in the midst of the onion set harvest. Reports have it that the Louisville crop will ex- ceed last year's in quantity and is equal in quality. The Lohrman Seed Co., Detroit, has been incorporated. The stockholders are Charles T. Lohrman, Philip Breitmeyer, Harry Breitmeyer and E. Bleil. Capital stock, all paid, $10,000. The increase in the demand for onion sets is steady, and the increase in the production does not keep pace with it. Consequently there has been, and will continue to be, a steady advance in the market price of this commodity. The crop of cucumber seed in Michi- ' gaU is not as good as it should be, ac- cording to the week's reports. Radish seed crops, on the other hand, are re- ported in fine condition, with the pros- pect of more than an average yield. The pea crop, from all accounts, will not be too large. This applies especially to the canners' varieties. The canners have been complaining about the uneven ripening of their crops this year; it has lessened their packs and they are likely to buy more seed for the coming year for this reason. There is the usual summer lull in all branches of the seed trade at present. The workers are having their vacations and little of interest can be gathered. The bulb handlers are making prepara- tions for the fall season, the pea and bean growers are busy in the fields. The Coast growers are busy at the harvest, but those who are interested in knowing what percentage of delivery will be made on the contract basis are not likely to get. definite information for some time yet.

Corn in Nebraska is reported as doing splendidly, with promise of late sorts giving much better results than last year. The onion set harvest at Chicago has begun. It starts earlier this year than for the preceding three seasons. The growers say this early ripening denotes good quality. The season on the whole has been favorable for this crop. Last year the crop at Chicago was below the average in number of bushels harvested. This year an average crop is expected. The acreage for 1908 is not reported greater than in 1907, but each acre will, it is expected, produce more bushels. -""•"^fn'ify Prize Winner Pansies Famous for their Cilant Size, Heavy Texture and Wld9 Bangre of Masmificent Colors A vastly improved strain of the famous Kindly Colleetloa Panales which was sold for years by the late firm of .lohnson & Stokes.

MIGHELL CO., Market St. above lOth St., Philadelphia, Pa. Mention The Review when you write. The late reports from the Michigan pea district make it look as though the yield may fall short of previous esti- mates. From practically all districts there is the report that the canners are falling short of the expected packs of the crops the seed trade is interested in. On the boat from the Azores which reached New \ork July 17, R. M. Ward & Co. had seventeen cases of Azores lily bulbs and Henry & Lee fifty-five cases. James E. Clabk, son of J. M. Clark, secretary of the Leonard Seed Co., Chi- cago, has gone to Arroyo Grande, Cal., to pursue his education in the seed business on the seed growing ranch of the Rout- zahn Seed Co. The government crop report puts the condition of onions at 90.2 per cent July 1, a little better than at the same date last year. The market for cantaloupes has been overstocked in practically all the large cities thus far since the Georgia and Cal- ifornia crops came on. The output of California "cants" has been very heavy and has served to break the market with- out making a profit for the people inter- ested. As an example of how far its in- fluence has been felt, from fifteen to seventeen cars a day reached New York City day after day. It costs, for freight and refrigeration alone, about $1.20 to lay down a standard crate of California cantaloupes in New York. This does not include the price of the crate, or pack- ing, picking and growing. The average 26 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ July 23, 1908. MUSHROOM SPAWN The VERY BEST that ENGLAXD MAKES.

There are said still to be a consider- able number of last year's crop of Japa- nese longiflorum bulbs in cold storage in London. The produce markets have been glut- ted with watermelons, cantaloupes, beans, etc., but peas were not in oversupply and tomatoes have thus far brought fair prices. There are reports that dry weather has cut the crops of lily bulbs, the world over,- below earlier calculations, large sizes being particularly affected, but the trade feels confident there will be enough bulbs so that everyone can get some. The shipping of cucumbers east from Marysville, Cal., has become an impor- tant industry. In one day recently over 15,000 pounds of these were shipped from Marysville, and every day one or two cars have gone out. The cucumbers are all grown in the swamp lands of Yuba county. THE FRENCH GARDEN. Charles D. McKay, of the firm of Watkins & Simpson, London, has been seeking to educate the English gardeners to the intensive method employed in French gardening and has succeeded in awakening throughout England a wave of enthusiasm for this method of culture which promises in the near future to re- sult in the establishing of a great in- dustry, the importations of French vege- tables grown by this method now result- ing in the payment of tens of thousands of pounds sterling, which will no longer be sent out of England after the French method becomes thoroughly established in that country. The history of the French market gar- den in England goes back only three years. The first one was established in 1905, at Evesham, through the efforts of Mr. McKay, whose work resulted in a body of Evesham gardeners first being taken to France to make an investigation of the method. Since then the ^success of this garden has caused many similar ones to be established and the demand for instruction in the method has become 80 great that Mr. McKay has now written a practical manual of French gardening, which has been published by the Daily Mail. He gives complete cultural details, by means of which any gardener of ex- perience can employ the methods prac- ticed by the French cultivator.

The French grow their lettuce under small "chassis," or frames, and also use a large numoer of "cloches," or uell-glasses, it being stated that there arc so employed in the vicinity of Paris 360,000 lights and 2,160,000 bell-glasses, from which early vegetables to the value of 13,500,000 francs are sold each year. Stable manure is used to supply the nec- essary heat and the skill of the gardener is shown in the vast amount of output from a limited space. EUROPEAN SEEDS. It is still early in the season to give an accurate forecast of the seed harvest throughout Europe, but taking it gener- ally I find seed growers anticipate short crops. A late, cold spring was followed by dry weather in June; July has come upon us with a great wave of heat, and plants that ordinarily should have con- tinued in growth ^or another week or two are finishing off. This applies markedly to culinary peas and sweet peas. One grower, generally well to the front with good blooms at the sweet pea show in London, facetiously remarked a day or two ago that if the hot weather continues he hopes to show new seed, July 24, in- stead of flowers. I have been in conversation with Eng- lish and German growers this week and find that short crop prospects are general. Wholesale houses are in no way disposed to book orders, even when brought under their notice, except with a reservation on prices. Neither can they be drawn on as to novelties for the coming season, until they see prospects of harvested seeds. Garten's, Ltd., Warrington, England, well-known agricultural seed growers and hybridizers, who have achieved success with improved oats, grasses, etc., include in their new introductions a distinct now breed of white oat, the yielding capacity of which has been proved in competitive tests with every known variety of oat and it has in all cases broken the record.

OLDS MOVES TO MADISON. As announced briefly in the Review of July 16, the L. L. Olds Seed Co. has leased quarters at Madison, Wis., and will remove from Clinton. It is expected to soon erect a building specially con- structed for seed purposes. The Olds Seed Co. started in a small way in Clinton, Wis., about five years July 23, 1908.

Its business rapidly increased and it was doing over $100,000 business an- nually, when its building was destroyed by fire just at the beginning of the last seed season. The company then began to look for a good location, with a view to enlarging its business and securing a more desirable shipping center. Eock- ford, 111., and other towns are said to have offered bonuses, but the unique lo- cation of the city of Madison as a rail- road center and its proximity to the uni- versity experiment^Ktion attracted Mr. Olds and he decided to locate there. A company with $50,000 stock was organ- ized and nearly one-half of the stock was sold in Madison. The majority of the stock is held by Mr. Olds and men asso- ciated with him in Clinton. Some of the Madison stockholders are: Col. A. H. Hollister, who has known Mr. Olds since boyhood ; former Mayor W. D. Curtiss, E, F. Riley and C. N. Brown. The firm in Clinton employed fifty people and it is believed a larger number will be em- ployed at Madison as soon as the business is started. IMPORTS.

LOUISVILLE ONION SETS. The harvesting of onion sets in the Louis^ille district is well along, having commenced as early as July 6. Eecent rains helped the late planting. H. R. Whiteside, who last year carried through a successful deal, is reported to be equally active this season. The concern has increased its storage facilities at Fourteenth and Maple streets, where the main office is located, and will operate the storage house near Buechel, also the big warehouse at New Albany, Ind. Mr. Whiteside says that from reports fur- nished by his buyers, who have been loading potatoes and onions at the vari- ous railroad loading stations scattered over the district and are in touch with the situation, he estimates the increase in the onion set acreage to be twenty per cent over last season, but owing to dry weather, which has cut the crop some- what, the total yield will hardly be over ten per cent greater than in 1907. He approximately fixes 200,000 bushels as a full estimate for the entire Louisville onion set crop, of which seventy-five per Try our MAGNIFICENT STRAINS of Giant Primulas, Pansies,Calceolarias9 Pplyantlius, Cinerarias, Cyclamen, Gloxinias "^^ other Florists' Flower Seeds 8PBCIAL, U8T ON APFUCATION.

The Rural New-Yorker is not yet sat- isfied that a seedsman should not assume a liability of some thousands of dollars on a sale amounting to a mere bagatelle, and tells the story of a man who wants to make a specialty of growing Prize- taker onion for transplanting. "The seedsman sent him the wrong seed and hurt his trade. This seedsman simply oflfere to send him more seed without a guarantee of any sort! It must be clear to any man that such an offer amounts to little or nothing. How is the farmer to know that the new seed is any better than the oldf The seedsman will not even guarantee it true to name! Where everything depends on having the gen- uine variety and where the variety can- not be told when the plants are shipped, how can any seedsman expect a farmer to buy seeds and take all the risk? The blunder of a clerk in sending the wrong seed might mean a loss of hundreds of dollars to the grower. We do not know of any other business in which the seller •would not be held at once liable for such loss. ' ' From a seedsman 's point of view such reasoning is manifestly unfair, but the point that hurts is that such statements should be given publicity by one classed as a friend, one who has personal interest in horticultural matters and who has a reputation for fairness which makes his opinion usually of value. The editor of the Rural New-Yorker should take into consideration the history of the pound of Prizetaker onion seed the seedsman sells for $2 and on which he is asked to assume responsibility, to the tune of hun- dreds of dollars, for the purchaser's suc- cess. No one can assume so broad a responsibility; the methods of the com- mercial production of seeds and their distribution and after treatment forbid; a great increase in prices would not make an unqualified guaranty practica- ble. Any seedsman will stand back of his seeds so long as they are out of the ground, but that is as far as it is safe for any seedsman to go.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 29 ^ULIUM HARRISII- WS OVFER A SELKC7TED STOCK OF THK ORIGINAL, TRUE HARRISII FOR EARLT FORCING. These bulbs have been irrown from the original pure Harrisii, and will be found to be splendid stock for early forcing, for which pur- pose Harrisii is so valuable. We have had the stock Inspected, and are assured that it is almost absolutely pure and almost entirely free from disease. This is not stock picked up indiscriminately from differ- ent sources, but is grown from one stock and will be found very supe- rior to the ordinary Harrisii usually offered, both in regard to free- dom from disease and purity, and not the late type now so often furnished. Lilium Harrisii has been deteriorating slowly for years, and in order to get back to the true type of the original Harrisii, we have had our stock grown from the original pure stock and it will be found very superior to the Lilium Harrisii usually offered.

Nothing can save the situ- ation but abundant rains. Sunday was as warm as any day of the summer, even the seashore registering 100 degrees. Little stock is reaching the cut flower market. The hint to growers to hold poor stuff, instead of losing express charges, seems to have had a practical effect. Everything good that came to town on Saturday and Monday was snapped up at advanced prices, especially in carnations. Beauties, too, were scarce and high; $z5 per hundred and up was the quotation. But there were few to be had at any price. All other varieties remain at last week's quotations. Sweet peas are about done. Asters are increasing daily and gladioli have dropped to 50 cents per hundred. One prominent grower of Long Island is now shipping direct to the retail stores, in- stead of distributing hi,s product through the wholesalers, as has been his custom during recent years. Tlie gladioli show the effect of the long, dry spell in shorter stalks and smaller flowers. Orchids are l)opular and a few retail windows add them to their water lily decorations. There is not much that is new or at- tractive now in window display. Apart from the hotels and the funerals, one might as well put up the shutters until September. Everybody is away or going.

Various Notes. Already the following New Yorkers have shown practical interest in the S. A. F. trade exhibition and to date space has been secured by J. A. Payne, Bob- bink & Atkins, Arthur T. Boddington, J. Lewis Childs, W. A. Manda, F. O. Pierce Co., F. E. Pierson Co., Eeed & Keller, Schloss Bros., Traendly & Schenck, Weathered Co., and Wertheimer Bros., and still there are more to follow. The prospects now are for the biggest crowd New York has ever sent to the society's convention. Central Park's impoverished soil de- mands an outlay, according to experts, of $2,000,000 to cover the exhausted sec- tions with top soil six inches deep. This season the value of proper soil has been demonstrated in the splendid planting of 18,000 rhododendrons through the generosity of Mrs. Eussell Sage. The re- sults are a practical illustration that will have far-reaching effects, and the suc- cess of the planting has drawn multi- tudes of interested citizens. On Sunday, July 19, George Cotsonas, of 50 West Twenty-eighth street, and Miss Margaret Luckert, of New York, were married at Vienna hall. Fifty-ninth street. They will spend their honeymoon in Connecticut. Mr. Cotsonas was born thirty-three years ago, near classic Ath- ens, and has been twelve years in this country, six years of that iime in the wholesale evergreen business. He has built up a fine trade. The hall was nicely decorated for the ceremony and several hundred guests and friends were present at the wedding supper. Charles H. Totty and wife have de- cided to spend their vacation in England and on the continent and will sail on the Carmania Saturday, July 25. They will not return before the middle of Sep- tember. Last week, W. Gommersall, of W. Nyack, sailed on the steamer Cedric for England and a summer amid old asso- ciations, his first visit to the old country in twenty years. Phil Kessler is enjoying his vacation in New England. B, J. Slinn, Jr., arrived home Friday, July 17, after a delightful two months' visit to the principal cities of England, France, Germany, Austria and Switzer- land. His collection of views is most interesting and his stories of travel will last long after the violet season opens. Mrs. Manda, of West Orange, passed away last week after a long and painful illness, borne with great patience and fortitude. Her children have the sincere sympathy of the trade in their bereave- ment. She may well be remembered as the mother of florists, her sons having achieved varied and unique success in the horticultural world. The second annual outing of the Greek- American Florists ' Association was a great success. Over 500 tickets were sold and 350 happy excursionists at- tended. Great enthusiasm characterized the different struggles for supremacy, the discus throwing, weight throwing and races especially engaging the largest number of competitors. The ball game between New York and Greece ended in the triumph of America. Messrs. Foley and Egenbrod were the skilled exponents ot the American game. Mrs. N. Christa- tos was the fleetest of the married ladies. — ^ KstabUshed 180S ^^ New Wholesale Price List £or dealers ready in a day or tw^o. Send for a copy. Asp. Plumosus Robustus $2.00 per 1000 seeds.

Nicholas was master of cere- monies and his eloquence and that of the Greek pastor aroused uproarious cheering. The keynote of the orators was loyalty to each other and to their adopted country, and the value of clean lives and faithful service and unselfish association with the society's interests. The progress of the Greek-American com- bination has been rapid and creditable. The outing was well conducted and most harmonious. Messrs. Schultheis and Marquardt came over from Long Island with their wives to join in the festivities. Many of the wholesale cut flower men were represented and some of the seeds- men and ribbon men were in evidence. Lord & Burnham have just completed the range of six houses at the Agricul- tural College at Storrs, Conn. Two of their large houses at Jamaica I visited Saturday, July 18, at the fine nurseries of A. A. Miller, where fourteen houses, covering over two acres, are filled with a fine assortment of about everything worth while \n the cut flower and plant line. Five houses are devoted to mums, with all the leading varieties. Fourteen acres are devoted to ornamental trees, ever- greens, shrubs, roses and bedding stock of every kind, some grand blocks of the new variegated privet, retinospora and other large importations. Mr. Miller is looking for another farm to conquer. He has thirty-eight men constantly em- ployed and is fast developing a wonder- ful business. He handles 10,000 ivy, 20,000 geraniums and 25,000 coleus in a season. Mr. Miller is chairman again of the committee of the New York and New Jersey Plant Growers' Association, that contemplates a great clambake at an early date, and in his new auto, with the other members of the committee, was selecting the spot for the gathering, to which everybody worth while will be in- vited. He speaks highly of the success of the society and its work and says it is here to stay. Clarence Saltford and wife are spend- ing a fortnight at Jersey resorts. BowIin£. The club put in five hours of practice Friday evening. Those Philadelphia scores show the need of team work here.

VEGETABLES FOR WINTER. When is the best time to start tomato, ca\iliflower and lettuce plants for winter growing! H. & C. In the fall of the year or in the spring less time is required to mature any crop than in midwinter, when the days are so short and the sun so far south. The time of planting the seed should be governed by the time the crop is wanted. Tomato and cauliflower seed may be planted any time now, both requiring about four months to come to bearing or marketable size. Lettuce is better not planted until after September 1, as it requires only two months. Head lettuce requires a trifle longer, and all crops mentioned re- quire a month longer in midwinter than now. H. (J. DRY ROT ON TOMATOES. I send a small box containing toma- toes affected with a disease that is new to me. This threatens to ruin my crop. Will you kindly advise as to cause and cure .7 C. S. The tomatoes are badly affected Avith dry rot, one of the worst of tomato growers ' troubles. This is not a con- tagious disease, but is caused by unfa- vorable conditions. Improper watering and ventilation are almost sure to bring it on, but many experienced growers have their troubles with it. Some have found it worse with Comet than with any other variety, but it usually affects only the first fruits and then disappears, prob- ably as a result of careful attention to it. In spite of this fault, growers still consider Comet in the lead as a forcing tomato. As a remedy, all affected fruits should be removed and careful attention be given to ventilation, temperature and watering. Test the soil and see if it is not a little too dry; if so, soak it up early in the morning, without wetting the foliage, and keep plenty of air in the houses. The nights being cool, the ven- tilators are usually closed to keep the houses warmer, and, there being no arti- ficial heat in the houses, the foliage be- comes wet before the houses are open in the morning. This damp, close condition is liable to start or spread any kind of disease. It is better to leave a little ven- tilation on, even if the temperature be a trifle cooler. The circulation thus ob- tained will keep the air drier, but too much of a difference in day and night temiterature will result in other troubles. VIOLETS AND MUSHROOMS.

Steltzneri is a free blooming sort of good habit, carrying dark rose colored flowers, while Desboisi has blooms of a somewhat similar color. Hydrangea arborescens is a valuable native shrub, now in bloom. It is com- monly called the wild hydrangea and attains a maximum height of eight feet. It is found growing naturally from New Jersey and Iowa south to Florida. It withstands our northern winters with no more injury than H. paniculata sustains. The form H. arborescens sterilis, Hills of Snow, instead of having its flowers in flat-topped clusters, has all the flowers ray-like and sterile, resembling a snow- baJl. The varieties severally named ar- borescens grandiflora nivea and arbor- escens grandiflora nivea forma nova are similar to Hills of Snow and were in bloom near Boston, June 27. All these hydrangeas can readily be propagated from soft wood cuttings rooted in a cold- frame or ordinary propagating bench, which has the needed shade and moisture. PROSPERITY IN FLORIDA. G. L. Taber, of Glen Saint Mary, Fla., is president of the well-known Glen Saint Mary Nurseries Co. His company was incorporated a year ago, taking over the business of which Mr. Taber had for twenty-five years been sole owner. The company has just declared an eight per cent dividend, and Mr. Taber, together with the other stockholders, is highly elated that the company is able to make this liberal dividend. Mr. Taber says that notwithstanding the financial stress that prevailed the country over, the sales of his company were over thirty per cent more than during any preceding year since the nurseries were established, and that the outlook for the future was never more promising. THE JUNEBERRY. The Juneberry is native in America east of the Missouri river, and the Na- tional Council of Horticulture says that in regions where larger and more highly developed fruits do not succeed well it is destined to be of great value. It has a small core like the apple, but the seeds are minute. The fruit is borne in open racemes, and ripens in June. It is very sweet. The berries are about the size of the wild black cherry and of a dark red, almost black color. The trees attain a height of thirty feet or more and bear abundantly. In bloom they have great ornamental value. They are excellent as wind breakers, and to protect smaller fruits from birds. The berry is eaten raw or cooked. It makes fij^e pies and is excellent stewed. There are several improved varieties, the Hall, Osage, Beeves, Alpina and Success being most valuable for the central west. The !)lant is a fairly rapid grower and is not iable to serious insect or fungus at- tacks.

Mention The Review when you write. y-i> 46- The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 23, 1908. MINNEAPOLIS. State of Business. Last week was holiday week. The Shriners' convention in St. Paul over- flowed in equal numbers to this city, and festivities held the day. A few good decorations were secured and the conven- tion occasioned some social events calling for cut flower decorations. Roses have been almost impossible to get, good, bad or indifferent. Carnations are scarce and deteriorating in quality. Asters are mak- ing their appearance and promise to be good. Gladioli and sweet peas stand for the outdoor showing. Speciosum lilies are in the market and are a great help in the scarcity of flowers. Various Notes. Miss Whitted secured a number of Zuhrah decorations, in which she used baskets of lilies, gladioli and roses. She also had the decoration of the Zuhrah room at the Ryan hotel, St. Paul, and a number of decorations at the Lafay- ette club. James Souden put in a fine plant deco- ration at the Masonic temple through- out the week. He also had a good wed- ding decoration the middle of the week. George S. Murtfeldt has closed his flower store for the summer. W. W. Seekins, Duluth, was a visitor last week. M. E. M. TOLEDO, OHIO. State of Trade. With few exceptions, reports on gen- eral conditions among the local florists are favorable. During last week nearly everyone was busy. A number of parties at both the country and yacht clubs helped out. Stock is plentiful. The gladioli, asters and lilies are of good quality, and there is an abundance of them. The steady demand keeps stock moving, and there appears to be no trouble caused by the excessive beat. Various Notes. Miss Helen Patten is back from a trip to Atlantic City and New York. While in New York, Miss Patten called on the leading florists and dealers, bringing with her some valuable information and new designs. Noticeable among the decorations of the Secor, a new hotel which will be opened August 1, are the table decora- tions in the cafe, furnished by George Heinl. They are the well-known air plants. George Bayer is furnishing a good many of the Toledo florists with asters. Mrs. Suder has an abundance of Lilium auratum, Harrisii and roseum, which are of excellent quality. H- L. S. Dover, N. H. — Jesse Arlin returned re- cently from York Harbor and York Beach, where he had been doing a suc- cessful business during the last month for C. L. Howe, of this city. Providence, B. I. — Alexandw John- son, a son of George Johnson, at 521 Elmwood avenue, has been appointed as city forester. Mr. Johnson is well equipped for the duties of this position, since he is not only a practical and well informed florist, but has already had about a year's experience in caring for the city's shade trees and shrubbery, under the direction of the commissioner of public works.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS f October Frost Wlilta..-W--'\ 48 The Weekly Florists^ Review, JULV 23, 1908. COLUMBUS»OHIO. State of Trade. Trade has been unusually good for the last week or so. There have been a great many funerals and several of them have used up quantities of stock. It has been the most trying week of the sum- mer to get stock enough to go around. There still are some good carnations to be seen, but they are only a drop in the bucket when orders pile in like old times. Boses are scarce and small. The new crop will soon be in, which will be a great relief. Asters are just commenc- ing to make their appearance, but in no quantity as yet. What few there are prove a great help in a pinch. Sweet peas are about done for. Those in the market are poor. . The dry, hot weather we have been having lately is telling on outdoor stock of all kinds. Various Notes. The club outing at Buckeye lake, July 15, was a grand success. There were .two of the large park cars packed to the rail. There were the usual races of all kinds, boating and dancing, and every- one present had a fine time. Albert Hills is the champion on sack races, as he always carries off first prize. He is also one of the prize-winners in the three- legged race. J. D. Seibert and O. Munk, with their families, are spending a week or so at Buckeye lake. G. H. Woodrow has returned from Mag- netic Springs, eight pounds heavier than when he left Columbus. C. A. Roth is cutting some good roses, which find ready sale. Frank Quecke looks ton years younger since his return from his old home in Germany. J. M. OWATONNA, MINN. The Clinton Falls Nursery Co. will build two more rose houses this fall, making eleven large houses devoted to roses, with four in carnations and two in chrysanthemums, besides smaller houses for miscellaneous stuff. This firm added the greenhouse busi- ness to its large nursery four years ago and the success in growing choice stock has compelled them to add additional glass each year. The stock at the present writing is well advanced and promises to eclipse former records. F. A. Chapman is foreman of the greenhouse department. CuNTON, Mo. — A. Woerner says he had so good a spring trade that he sold out of geraniums, although he had a big lot, and will have to buy stock plants. ORCHIDS Arrived In fine condition, Cattleya Mossife, C.

Brethren: There has been a movement on foot, for sev- eral years, among the growers of that "Queen" of summer bedding plants, the canna, among those who are members of the Society of Amer- ican Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists. I am only in the business on a large place for the pleasure that there is in it, and do not sell, and for that reason I have not favored a canna organization. I now think the time has come that a National Canna Society should be organ- ized, and I hope that all the growers will be at the convention at the Falls, so there can be an exchange of opinions.

SEEDS. COBURN'S SELECTED PANSY SEED. BEST MARKET STRAIN GROWN. Our seed is saved from about 12,000 plants, carefully selected, when in bloom, from the 600,000 we grow for our spring sales. Each plant is ° carefully selected, oolor, sice, form and substance t)eing taken into considera- tion, and the proportion of each color is prop- erly balanced. As a result of over 25 years' work along these lines, we feel Justified in claiming to have the best strain of pansies on the market, and we invite trial and comparison. Gtowing our stock in this manner, we have only a limited amount of seed to spare, and in order to distribute as widely as possible, we offer it in packets of 1000 seeds. Price $1.00 per packet (only one to each customer). I. E. COBURN, 291 Ferry St., Everett, Mass. BUCKBEE'S FULL OF LIFE FLOWER SEEDS.

The members of the Tri-City Florists' Club met at the Turner Hall July 16 and went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Staack, Twenty-seventh street and Sixth avenue, Moline, who were married but a few weeks ago. The members completely surprised Mr. and Mrs. Staack, present- ing them with a beautiful pedestal and jardiniere. Theodore Ewoldt made the presentation speech. H. M. Bills spoke and Henry Gaethje, Sr., of Rock Island, entertained with humorous readings. Re- freshments were served. Mr. Staack is the son of Julius Staack, and is the junior member of the florist firm of Julius Staack & Son, of Moline.

If the young strings become entangled it is quite a task to unroll them without breaking or dam- aging some of them. It never pays to put off stringing this asparagus. It is one duty which is better attended to as soon as one crop is cut, or right after young plants are put in the beds. Newly planted beds should not be watered too freely until roots are well run through them. With old, cut-back beds there is little danger of overwater- ing. A good mulch of cow manure should also be applied after the surface soil has been loosened. As cutworms are liable to work havoc in the asparagus beds, lay some poisoned bran for them at intervals. This work, done now, will materially reduce their ravages when win- ter arrives. Primulas. During such intensely hot weather as ,has been experienced in most sections of I the country* for some weeks, primulas 'will grow better jin coldframes than any- ; where ^l§e and 'sashes on them iiire not j needed except to throw off heavy rains. iRun lath shades over them during sun- I shine. Thin cotton cloth, or cheesecloth, ! calB also be rolled over them, but these do ; not admit air like the wooden shadings. \Do not allow the little plants to become ipotbeund. Spread them out before they ^cf&«'d each other aiKl, if you use the [hose in watering, see that it is running at low pressure. Primulas, especially the Chinese section, speedily resent too much water, and it will pay to use the watering pot for them unless your batch is a large one. Show Pelargoniums. After taking such cuttings of show pelargoniums as you may need for an- other season, lay the old plants on their sides and give no more water for a time. In order that they do not suffer too severely from the sudden cessation of water at i..e roots, they should have been gradually kept drier for a week or two prior to the final ripening off. Give them an occasional damping over with the hose while on their sides. When they have lost their foliage and the wood has assumed a nut brown color, they should be stood up, watered a little, pruned back, and, as they commence to break, shaken out and repotted. Altemantheras. While it may seem somewhat early to suggest propagating bedding plants, we always like to get in a few flats or pans of the different altemantheras about August 1. These cuttings root like willows at this season, heat, moisture and shade being essentials. A frame will root them fully as well as a greenhouse and, when rooted, keep them growing outdoors until cold nights require their removal indoors. From these early propagated altemantheras you will se- cure stock plants which will give you all the cuttings you want in late winter and they are to be preferred to old plants, which are much more liable to damp in winter. Heliotrope. The present is also a good time to root a batch of cuttings of that popular flow- er, the heliotrope. They will make nice pot plants to carry over and, if wanted, can also be grown on for winter bloom- ing. Like the altemantheras, these can be kept outdoors until the latter part of September. They will require rather fre- quent pinching to keep them bushy and should have all flowers removed. Various Reminders. Do not sow calceolaria seed during in- tensely hot weather, or most of the seedlings will damp off. Fancy-leaved caladiums will now be found useful for decorative purposes, when flowering plants are rather scarce. If you have not grown Allamanda Will- iamsii as a midsummer pot plant, try a few another year. It is beautiful at present and is of such easy culture that no one should be without it. Remove all carnations affected with stem-rot as soon as observed. This trouble is unusually prevalent in many sections at present. Choose cool, moist nights, if possible, for fumigating. Avoid heavy doses, to prevent burning of the foliage. Hose the plants overhead before the sun can strike them in the morning. Keep inserting poinsettia cuttings and be sure to pot off all rooted stock be- fore they can become hard. Use the spray nozzle freely on gar- denias, eucharis, stephanotis, palms and other foliage plants, to keep mealy bug, scale and other pests in check. Keep floors well damped and sprayings overhead will be beneficial to all plants in benches during the heated spell. Keep genistas trimmed into shape and pinch strong leading shoots on azaleas. Cut down delphiniums as they pass out of flower to insure a good second crop of spikes. As outdoor rambler roses pass out of bloom, cut out the old flowering shoots to give the new canes every chance. 56 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Ji:iA- :.'3, 1008.

In figuring radiation for a greenhouse, in this Michigan climate, about what surface area of hot water pipe should be allowed per square foot of glass, for say 65 degrees, with zero weather out- doors? C. S. D. In your climate, to maintain a tem- perature of 65 degrees during zero weather, it will be safe to figure one square foot of radiation for four square feet of exposure, including roof, sides, ends, etc., in the house, with water at 180 degrees^ L. C. C. LIKE TWO SEPARATE HOUSES. I am constructing a greenhouse in Ohio, 16x62 feet, and intend placing the boiler on the north side of the building near the center, the boiler-house to be on the outside of the greenhouse. I have a Hitchings No. 108 hot water boiler, tapped for 2-inch pipe as follows: Four tap holes in the top, two in the bottom and one on each side. One part of the greenhouse is three feet lower than the other part. I would like to know how to pipe this building for the best results. I have an expansion tank holding fifty gallons. How much lower than the lowest floor would I have to place mv boiler? M. L. C. I believe it will be best to pipe the two rooms of your greenhouse independ- ently; that is, run a separate flow and return from the boiler direct to each room. A 2-inch flow direct from boiler to each room, preferably carried under the ridge, and dropping at the most dis- tant point to return by twelve 2-inch re- turns, should provide radiation sufficient for all ordinary stock. This will require that the expansion tank be at least ten feet above the ridge of the house and connected directly with the main flow near where it enters the boiler; L.C.C. USING BOILER TUBES. We have a small house that we have been heating with 3-inch boiler tubes with good results. We intend building some larger houses and would like to know if you consider it practical to heat them with the 3-inch tubes? If so, kindly let me know where the mains and re- •V r ■ * wm HNr' r "— m m ^. r , "^^ «.'

The walls will be six feet high, connected to another house. We must keep a temperature, in Ontario, for a general assortment of plants. How many tubes for a house 21V^x.50, with walls six feet high, for lettuce, and one connected to it, of the same size, for growing a general assortment of plants? We also have a house 21%x60 that has five rows of 2-inch pipe under one bench, four under the other and fed by two 2-inch pipes run one under each gutter. We wish to use this house for carnations and would still use the 2-inch pipes. How many runs will it need to keep a temperature for carnations? We have it 15 degrees below zero and would like it figured on that basis. W. S. P. The house 21^4x60 feet should have nine lines of 3-inch tubes installed to safely hold the house at 60 degrees. One 3-inch flow or supply pipe will be sufficient for such a house. It will probably be best to use the main flow under the benches The John Davis Co. HsUtod, SM lad UslW StNM CHICAGO. ILL.

The houses 21i^.x50 would best have the same amount of radiation. The house piped with 2-inch pipe should have the piping increased so there will be four- teen lines in all, counting both flows and returns. L. C. C. THE EXPANSION TANK. I notice in nearly every instance, when referring to the expansion tank, you ad- vise that it should be connected to the main return near the boiler by means of a %-inch pipe. I would therefore ask: Where no relief valve — or exit, for air generated in the boiler — is used in any part of the heating system, would you advise the connection of the tank to the main return near the boiler? At present my tank is connected hy a %■ inch pipe to the main flow pipe near the boiler, that being the very highest point in the system. The bottom of the tank is eight feet six inches above the flow pipe, and is as high as it can be located. In calculating the radiation of pipe do you figure the inside or outside diameter? As I now propose to increase the system to a little over .500 feet of 2-inch piping, this will give me, taking the U. S. Heat- ing Co. as authority, 376 feet of radiat- ing surface, or .753 per foot for the out- side diameter of the 500 feet of 2-inch pipe. Am I correct? J. L. B.

The heating water expands rap- idly and pushes itself out rapidly and hence flows through the system rapidly, if it is closed. It always follows the path of least resistance and, with the ex- pansion tank on the high point, one draws off the water at the highest tem- perature, just as it leaves' the boiler, with a consequent loss of fuel. If the hottest water must be pushed through the sys- tem and the increased space required by expansion provided by the coolest water in the system, which is in the main re- turn, close to the boiler, it is evident that one is getting a more rapid circulation and greater return from the fuel con- sumed. It is not practicable to run a high pressure water plant without air cocks on the high points. Each foot of 2-inch pipe gives .621 feet of radiation; 500 feet of 2-inch pipe is equal to 310.5 feet of radiating surface. Malleable as well as cast-iron pipe is all figured on internal diameter, brass tub- ing and boiler tubes alone being figured on outside diameter. L. C. C. HOT WATER PREFERRED. I now have 5,000 feet of glass and I intend to add 2,000 feet more this sum- mer. I can get a seventy-five horse-power return tubular boiler cheap. Would it be economical to get it, and would you prefer steam to water? Would it be too large? I now have three small boilers to heat my three houses and use hot water. G. O. K. I hardly think you would be justified in installing a seventy-five horse-power boiler for a plant of this size. I should also prefer to operate it on a hot water basis. Some large plants can be heated from a central station by steam more economically than by hot water, but small plants that do not justify the ex- pense of a night fireman are best as a rule on a hot water basis. L. C. C. COAL PRICES LOV. This is the time for greenhouse own- ers to fill up the coal sheds, for the Black Diamond gives the following review of the coal market conditions: "The market conditions throughout the country are such as to warrant the statement that while the record of ton- nage is reasonably satisfactory the re- turns in money are much less than they were for the corresponding period a year ago. The general average of prices for the year will be very much lower than last year and, unless indications fail, many coal companies are going to show their margin on the wrong side of the ledger. Particular point is made of that fact just now by the peculiarities of the situation. ' ' VAYSIDE NOTES. Adam Liaub & Sons, of Wappingers Falls, N. Y., report good sales in carna- tion plants.

The change to the larger store, on Main street, was a decided step forward. J. Cunningham, of Cold Spring, N. Y., is investing some of the season's profits in a new boiler. He grows good stock and always finds the demand ahead of the supply. M. FOSTORIA, OHIO. The business of the Fostoria Floral Co. has increased to such an extent that the proprietor, E. E. Sackett, has been obliged to apply to the board of public service for such an improvement in the water supply as will make it adequate for his use. Though Mr. Sackett 's start in the trade was quite unpretentious, he has increased his facilities and his scale of operations until he is now sending shipments all over Ohio and some of the neighboring states. Some years ago he built a new plant at the corner of Jackson and Main streets, continuing to operate the old one on the Maple street end of his father's Main street property. This season he is moving the old plant to the new location and adding new buildings, the extension being of such importance that by fall he will have double the capacity he had nine months ago. Including these new houses, his range will contain 75,000 feet of glass. WINCHESTER, KY. In reviewing his business for the last year. Shearer The Florist sees no reason for feeling melancholy. He summarizes results as follows: ' "In posting ray books July 1, I find I have done one-third more business than I did last year. Owing to the backward spring, bedding stock moved slowly at first and looked as if it were going to be left, but when it did begin the demand was the best since I commenced business four years ago. Owing to the long drought we have had, which was broken by a good rain July 14, outside stock, such as sweet peas, gladioli, dahlias, etc., suffered considerably. While everybody has been kicking about hard times, col- lections have been good." SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS ^ FOR HOT WATER HEATING SuperiorMaciiine&BoilerWorks 125 W. Saperlor St., Chicago, III.

Indoor stock has shortened up considerably. Eoses are just about equal to demand, while carnations are nearly all in, or out, for most growers are ■ busy getting their benches in shape for next season. The hot weather of late was detrimental to sweet peas, but these will improve after the receijt rainfall and more cool atmosphere. The quantity and quality of asters improve daily. Various Notes. Friday, July 17, at 7 p. m., the coun- try north of Milwaukee was visited by a heavy rain storm, with some wind and hail. The latter surprised three of the growers in that vicinity by breaking just a few panes of glass, and no doubt re- minded them of the existing hail insur- ance company. The Holton & Hunkel Co. and Manke Bros, suffered only a small loss. Nic Zweifel had quite a few shoots broken off his carnations by wind and hail. Mrs, Baumgarten, of the Baumgarten Floral Co., had an operation performed last week, and it will be some time be- fore she will leave the hospital. The Mueller & Schroeder Co., having all the old stock and soil out, will begin to plant carnations in a short time, ex- pecting to finish by August 1. Their young stock looks well. >lic Zweifel spent Thursday and Fri- day visiting some of the large growers near Chicago. Visitors: Theo. Kienahs, La Crosse, Wis.; Adam Zender, Park Eidge, HI.; Wm. A.

We hope they will all return in time to take in the florists' picnic, to be held July 29. Do not forget the date, men and women.

The Market July veather has been hot enough to satisfy the most exacting and the flower shops look deserted. There is not much doing outside of funeral work, and not much of that. While many of the help are away, they are not missed. Among the wholesalers, things seem more satisfactory and there is not much complaint. There is not much coming in, but what comes is good and finds ready sale. They report sales as about the same as last year. Asters and gladioli are a little scarcer than last year and will be acceptable when they come, but no doubt there will be more than plenty before long. Various Notes. Many persons are making inquiry about the S. A. F. convention and, from appearances, this city will send a large delegatioA. For information as to rates, etc., write or see T. P. Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. James Moore, superintendent of the North Side park, is having his troubles these days, trying to protect his trees from the various pests which have been killing them during the last few years, and also to square himself with the United States authorities on a counter- feiting charge which has been made against him on account of a beautiful bed in the West park, which represents a silver dollar. It is exceptionally well done, but it seems there is a law which imposes a fine of $100 on any person copying the design of any currency of the United States. We hope Mr. Moore ■will escape easily, but they have him guessing. De Forest Ludwig has spent several Aveeks in camp with the Boys' Brigade at Ashtabula harbor. If any of our readers should meet George Marshall, of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., around Atlantic City, they will confer a favor on his friends if they will head him home, as it is rumored he is such a hit on the board walk that he cannot get away. The trustees in charge of the affairs of the Templin Co., Youngstown, O., closed the store Saturday and will close out everything^ including the lease, at a public sale in the near future. Hoo-Hoo. JOHNSTOAVN, P.\. — Herman Nicssner has let the contract for the erection of a handsome store and greenhouse at his establishment on Poplar street. The main building will be of brick, with large plate glass windows in the front and sides. Anderson, Ind. — D. W. Leatherman thinks he has what is undoubtedly the largest double daisy in the world. The plant stands thirty inches high and has had at one time twelve double blooms three and one-half inches across. The petals are narrow, fine silky white, curled over a rich golden center, making it re- Romblo an Ostrich Plume aster. KELLER POTTERY CO.

The gates ajar is one of the funeral designs by C. H. Fox,. Columbia avenue and Twenty-first street, Philadelphia. Mr. Fox is not partial to this rather popular design. The photograph illus- trates one of his ideas in dealing with the gates ajar. Pink and white roses and small flowers were used above, white carnations below. Phil. CARDS ON SPRAYS. Will you please tell us what is the right place to attach the sender's card on a spray of funeral flowers? How should the card be attached, ■ and what should be written on itf J. E. A. Tt hardly could be said that there is a right place to attach a card to a spray ; it can go almost anywhere, except at the tip of the spray, and not offend good taste. One often sees the card nestling down among the flowers just a little back of the middle of the spray, and a little to one side. If there is any bet- ter place it is at the point where the ribbon is attached, or the bunch of green if no ribbon is used. The card should not be larger than an ordinary calling card and the best stores always inclose it in an envelope that fits it, the envelope being attached to the design by baby ribbon. One often is required to use cards carrying all sorts of expressions of sympathy, but it is better taste to have nothing but the name of the sender on the card; the flowers themselves are the expression of sympathy. B. E. T. STORE AND WINDOW INTERIORS lony in Walls and Fittings. After llooking over the interiors of diflferent/ stores and greenhouse sales- rooiftsy^e defect found to be common to too many is lack of harmony in the fit- tings and wall coverings. They have a disjointed, patchy look. Perhaps the store was not all finished and furnished at once, and, as a case or a piece of furniture had been added, it was not selected with reference to the prevailing color and style of the original fixtures, if indeed there ever were a pre- vailing color and style. Or, if the walls were newly papered, the cases were not moved, and at some time or other these were lined with another color or mate- rial. To stand off and view the whole inspires some expressive slang. A new patch here and there had better be omit- ted, until a uniform covering can be put on the entire wall surface of the room, and the woodwork refinished in harmony. The View from Window to Rear. Let the same wall covering and wood- work be used in the window and its ac- cessory apace. Frequently a different color and finish are added to the window casings and sill, and one feels as though he had stepped into a box attachment. The interior of the windows and store walls should be either the same or so carefully blended that there will be no break as the eye follows from the glass ner or two and start the witchery of a few long, easy lines from the front en- trance to the rear, and see the depth develop. ,; \^;.; ■ ■ - It is easy enough to preach, "Make your store a beauty spot," but for the average person it is not the question of a moderate outlay so much as the selec- tion of color and material which shall transform his store. With all the variety of material for interior finish, from mar- ble to burlap, many people find it a dif- ficult task to combine beauty and dura- bility to a common purpose. A few gen- eral hints in this line may be of use during this, the refitting season. Rough-finished Interiors. Many interiors of stores attached to The Gates Ajar. front of the window to the most distant point in the rear of the store. Seek to make long leading lines, not only in floral decorations, but in every place upon or against which they are to be mounted. Whether the observer is a critic professionally or not, the long line is to the eye as the horizon to the land- scape. A wide and shallow store room can be practically transformed by careful planning in this respect. Forget a cor- greenhouses are merely rough-plastered or ceiled. Either of these, finished well, will make a desirable wall decoration. Bough plaster takes a wash which is not only cheap and sanitary, but beautiful. A ceiled wall is best stained. Smooth plastered walls can be painted or pa- pered, painting being much preferable, as it can be dusted or washed. Paper is not so durable, on account of the effect of the moisture from the greenhouse air. 66 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Jllv L':i. i'jds. INDEX TO ADVERTISERS. J Ailvaii.i' lo CI .\U.T>. II.

The gates aj;ir is one of the funeral designs by C. H. Fox, Colunil)iii, avenue and Twenty-first street, Philadelphia. Mr. Fox is not partial to this rather popular design. The photograph illus- trates one of his ideas in dealing with the gates ajar. Pink and white roses and small flowers were used above, white c'irii.'itions below. Piiir,. CARDS ON SPRAYS. Will you ple.Tse tell us what is the right place to attach the seiidi-r 's card on a spr.ay of funeral flowers.' How should the card lie atfjiclii'd, ;iiid \\h:it should be written on it.' J. 10. A. ft hardly could be said tliiit there is .•I riyht ))lac(! to attach a caid to ;i spray; it, c;in go almost anywhere, exicpt ;it the tip of the spray, and not ulVrnd gnod taste. One often sees the caril uestlinj^ down iiinoiig the flowers Just a little back of th(> middle of the sjiray, and ;i little to one side. If there is ;iny bet ter place it is at the point where the ribbon is attached, or the buiidi ni oreeu if no ribbon is used. The card should imt be harder than an iirdituu'y callinf;- caid and the hesl stores .always inclose i1 in an etiNclope that fits it, the en\e|op(« lieiny attaclied to the design by baby iilili(Ui.

'\\ STORE AND WINDOW INTERIORS Harmony in Walls and Fittings. After looking over the interiors of different stores and greeidiouse sales- rooms, the defect found to be conunon to too many is lack of harmony in the fit- tings and wall coverings. 'I'hey have a disjoinfeIor. Now, as to the all-important question of color: A neutral shade should be chosen. It will be observed that the term "shade" is used, while no mention is made of ' * tint, ' ' for the reason that the darker colors are usually the best, choice, if one color is used. If two colors are to be used, the lighter should be set on above the darker. But why neutral shades? There are t\Vo "becauses" for this; namely, to avoid strikingly inharmonious color com- binations, and to supply a softened back- ground which- develops the beauty, of color in the flowers and foliage, rather than thrusts itself within view. The observer should forget the wall coloring and background for the time being and be lost to all save the attractionfofSlie flowers displayed. Regarding the use of dark wall color- ing for the one-toned plan, there, are strong arguments on both sides of the question. The majority of flowers dis- played are light colored and show to. bet- ted.advantage against a dark background. Dark eol6rs show the wear and tear and knocks less. On the other hand, it may be , urged with some force that a dark wall lessens the daylight which, is reflected about the room. Leave the light to the windows and the electricity or gas, as the case may be. Skill in lUumination. Wall or ceiling lights are the best for the store room, with white opaque shades, so that there shall be an abundance, of soft light, but no burners visible. Every well lighted place should also have, an entrance light. Reflector. shades are, not desirable. Especially in. window lighting should the lamps themselves and, better still, all the light fixtures; bje concealed and only the diffused light be' reflected. Returning to the discussion of the col- oring for walls and woodwork, we find a fascinating array of dull reds, buflfs, olive greens, old gold and browns,;,.. Blues are trying for any but skilled co^brists. White and gold have been toov much used of late, as also have green and- gold. Green, if not too much inclined toward the blue, is a fine background for flow- ers, but not at all sajtisfactory for fo- liage, as palms, wild smilax, laurel or Christmas green, etc. It is a poor con- ductor, so to speak. A delicate tint of Nile green, in combination with mis- sion or a darker green, might partially remedy this lack of color contrast. A wainscoting of mission oak finish, with a' soft yellow wall tint, is a finish much in vogue at present, and well worth its popularity. Ivory with olive green or dull red brown and buff are charming and restful cpmbinations. Mahogany, mission or walnut stains are all rich and beautiful, if carefully laid on .soft, smooth wood. ' vv,'- The Miff Of G"aze« Quite a proportion of florists have the mirror craze, and one finds stores at- tempting the effect with cheap mirrors in small panels, very suggestive, indeed, of barber shops and restaurants. Our daiqty wares are worthy of better set- tings than are shaving mugs and steaks. Have several good-sized mirrors finished like the woodwork, but removable, for the back of the window. Between times use one of them, half hidden among the foliage and flower displays, in the store. Used as a surprise piece, a mirror is a delightful adjunct. It is well to re- member that direct sun-rays are in- jurious to a mirror. Once in a while draperies of silk and fringe are met with nowadays in a«8tore. At best these are cluttery, dirty and soon faded. Have, if possible, the fittings and fur- niture of the store movable,, so that from time to time you may change the entire make-up of the store. Make screens, pedestal and jardiniere stands and all such to conform to the general style and finish of the woodwork. It is not beyond the most modest and plain to have a pretty store. Even if means are at hand to furnish the store completely to start with, it is better to begin with the bare essentials and pick up other furniture piece by piece, always bearing in mind the character of its companion fittings. Not the number of opportunities, but the improvement of these one by one, opens the wider doors. Those who have a small trade and few orders have a better chance to make each- piece a gem than others who must ex- pect a steady rush of trade daily. Every flower that grows is graceful in its own place. Our task is to find that place, and our leisure may be well em- ployed in studying the art and science of our profession. Geetbude Blair. A BUNCH NOT BUNCHED. Possibly the most notable wedding of the season was that at the national capi- tal June 10, of Joseph Leiter, of Chi- cago, and Miss Williams, of Washing- ton. President and Mrs. Roosevelt were there and all the social set at the capi- tal. It was therefore only natural that the floral features of the affair should be elaborate. These were in the hands of J. H. Small & Sons, The bride's bouquet is shown in the illustration opposite, which is worth study by every retailer. One seldom sees so fine a bunch. It is elaborate, without being loud; large, without being heavy. The shape is excellent and the looseness of the arrangement gives an air of lightness and grace too often missing from large bunches. Indeed, the trade name "bunch" is exactly de- scriptive of many a bride's flat-topped, round bouquet of valley. In the ar- rangement carried by Miss Williams the orchids were placed just high enough above the valley £o get the full value of the blooms. This bouquet was the work of A. Klopper, one of Small's regular Washington staff. SF F^.

Antirrhinum plants required for benching in September should have been rooted and potted off before this time. Keep them in a cold- frame, protecting them with sashes from drenching rains, which are liable to start blight on the foliage. There is still ample time to sow seed or root cuttings for batches to follow chrysan- themums. While these plants can be lifted' from^.the open ground and bench- ed with a" fair amount of success, we prefer to ^ave them in single pots. If you have some strong plants growing out- doors and will head them back well, they will soon give you a fine crop of cut- tings. These old plants themselves are often lifted and, if the roots are kept intact and shade given for a couple of weeks, they will produce splendid spikes. It is better to stick to one or two clear colors, rather than grow a mixture. If you carry your flowers to market the separate shades will sell, but you will have hard work in disposing of mixed bunches. Mignonette* The first week in August is suflSciently early to make a sowing of mignonette. As your benches may not yet be ready. use 2-inch pots, placing three or four seeds in each. A compost of loam, leaf- mold and sand is suitable. Keep the lit- tle pots shaded until the seedlings ap- pear. Be sure to give them abundant light and air and do not, in your rush of work, turn the hose on .them. Let watering be done with the watering pot while the seedlings are small. Have your benches or beds ready before the roots of the seedlings get matted around the sides of the pots. Solid beds are much to be preferred to benches for mignonette, and any with heating pipes below them are entirely unsuitable. For compost a mixture such as you would use for chrysanthemums will answer well. We find that a rather heavy loam gives better results than a light, sandy one. All the seedsmen offer special forcing strains of mignonette. Be sure to get the best. It will pay you in the end. Once you have obtained a really first- class strain, save one or two of the finest plants for seed. Schizanthus Wisetonensts. The useful annual, Schizanthus Wise- tonensis, is becoming more appreciated each year by up-to-date retailers. It is of such easy culture and flowers in so short a time that it is a wonder more JtiLV 30, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review. country florists do not grow it for home trade. Even if the plants are not sold, the flowers work in beautifully in funer- al designs and, arranged in a vase, last longer than carnations. Even as an outdoor annual the schizanthus has been sadly neglected. During August and Sep- tember the flowers will be found serv- iceable when really good material is decidedly scarce. The best variety is Wisetonensis, on account of its dwarf habit, but for outdoor use grandiflorus oculatus and pinnatua albus are also From Thanksgiving to Christmas nice- ly bloomed schizanthus are something of a novelty. To secure such plants, sow seeds now in 3 -inch pots. Thin the seedlings as soon as they germinate, leav- ing four or five in a pot. Keep in a coldframe right up to the light. Give plenty of air and throw off the sashes at night. The aim should be to grow the plants as stocky as possible. They w^ll never tolerate forcing at any stage of their growth. The little shoots will soon run up to flowers and must be kept con- stantly pinched. Pot them on as re- quired and keep as cool as possible, short of actual freezing, at all stages of growth. Do not place in the greenhouse before October. There are now some large flowered strains of 8. Wisetonensis oflfered, with blooms double the size of the ordinary type. Scented Geraniums. There is a good call for bunches of the shoots of the various scented geraniums, especially during winter. Perhaps you have been growing along a number of plants left over from spring sales, to give you shoots for the coming season. If not, it is time to root a good batch of cuttings. As the shoots are now- very succulent, they are liable to rot unless carefully watered. Trim the foli- age off closely. Give one good soaking of water. Then keep dry for a day or two. Do not shade heavily. For Eonal geraniums no shade at all is needed, but the scented varieties require a lit- tle. If you have a house facing north they will root in it fairly well, but in a coldframe with constant air on top and bottom they will do even better. The •lemon-scented verbena now has an abun- dance of soft shoots and, if you wish to increase your stock, now is a good time to do so. It is always well to lift a few old plants of this favorite, for they give such a crop of nice cuttings when started up, after being kept cool and dry for a time. Asters. Aster plants from the latest sowings should now be in their flowering quar- ters. In spite of climatic conditions, the season has been a fairly good one for these, and for the next two months a fine grade of flowers will be produced. The appearance of the notorious aster beetle will require a sharp lookout to be kept for these pests. They are specially partial to the white flowered varieties, although they will eat any other color. If the flowers are not open, the plants can be saved to some extent by spraying with Paris green at the rate of one pound to 200 gallons of water. This cannot be given when blooms are open without discoloring them. A bait of shorts and Paris green, sweetened with molasses, will poison many, while hand- picking can be resorted to if the beetles are not numerous. Where blue lice ap- pear on the roots, it is better to pull up the plants; also any affected by the several diseases affecting asters. Keep Bouquet Carried by Joseph Letter's Bride. the ground constantly cultivated and the ravages of pests will be to a consid- erable degree lessened. Perennial Phlox. How useful perennial phlox are during the hot summer months to the country florist who is far from a large city and who is constantly being called upon to furnish flowers for funerals and other purposes at short notice! Rarely seen in retailers' windows and hardly ever being bunched for market, the hardy phloxes, nevertheless, are indispensable to any- one doing a summer trade in cut flowers. Their extreme hardiness, ease of culture, great color variations, rapidity of in- crease and extended flowering season are all strong points in their favor. For pro- ducing large trusses Voung plants are necessary. These are easily raised by in- serting young shoots, in the same way as with mums, in a propagating bench, and later planting in nursery rows. These will flower in August and September, after the old clumps are pretty well faded, and any of your customers see- ing a good batch in bloom will surely want to purchase some, especially if you grow a good selection. The following list contains only first- class sorts and will give a succession of bloom from June until freezing weath- er: White, Miss Lingard, pink eye, very early; Pyramide, Le Cygne, Fiancee; Albatre, very late; pink.

Chrysanthemums, The last of the chrysanthemums should be benched without delay. Even these late rooted plants will give useful flow- ers. The work of staking and tying will now take up considerable time. It cannot be neglected, for if the shoots begin to fall around it will make the iwork doubly difficult. Keep the surface soil slightly scratched over and remove weeds and decaying foliage. Do not be afraid to spray your plants overhead during hot weather. Also keep the floors well damped down after a day of in- tense heat. We like to syringe so that the foliage will remain damp after night- fall, but not after the middle of August, as it induces leaf fungus. Black fly will be the chief pest to fight for some time. Spraying with a nicotine extract or kerosene emulsion is to be preferred during warm weather. As the tempera- ture becomes lower, fumigation is safer. Keep a sharp lookout for those hairy worms on the foliage. It is rather early for the main crop of these, but some are already on hand and they speedily dis- figure the foliage. ,:.'•■_ -:..' ^:V':' Violet*. ■:• -y ... ■- Recent rains have proved beneficial to violets and runners are now being freely produced. These should be removed from time to time. Where doubles are not grown in the beds, benches or frames in which they are to flower, they should be planted in without delay. The longer they are left out the more danger is there of the dreaded spot ruining them. Early planting of these always gives us the best results, but with the singles, Oc- tober is early enough to do any hous- ing. The compost for these latter should be gotten ready now, if this has not been already done. STEM-ROT. The Res:ular Yearly Visitor. In two or three weeks from now we will hear again about stem-rot of the newly-planted indoor carnations. There are but few of us who are not bothered more or less with this annoying trouble, and even the utmost care in watering, ventilating, removing all infected plants as well as the soil surrounding them, and using lime freely, will quite often be of but little use. It almost seems that the plants will keep on dying off for a cer- tain length of time, in spite of all one does. There may be some who claim to have a cure, but I am sure the majority of us know but little about it. We may try a certain remedy one year and feel satisfied that it helped to stop the spread of the disease, only to find out the fol- lowing year that it does not. There is no doubt but what science will in the near future reveal something which will ultimately overcome stem-rot. The thing to do for the present is to take advantage of what we know through science regarding the conditions favor- able for fungous diseases and thereby prevent as much as possible the appear- ance of the trouble. Largely Due to Soil. W^hile there is no doiibt that atmos- pheric conditions have a great deal to do with spreading any fungus or disease germ injurious to plant life, it is also certain that the soil which is used in the benches is quite often the cause of stem- rot. A heavily manured, mucky soil forms a. hotbed for the disease. In fact, almost ninety per cent of the troubles with carnations are due to conditions of the soil, and in many instances this is brought about by overfeeding; and es- pecially one of the troubles, the sleepi- ness of the flowers, is more than any- thing else due to this fact. Soil which has been piled up for months and heavily manured is not the proper material to plant carnations in. The assertion that manure makes humus, which produces available chemical ele- ments in the soil necessary for a heavy yield, is true, but the carnations lifted from the field take weeks before they are reestablished sufficiently to require any other nourishment than that which is contained in a sweet, fibrous loam; while, on the other hand, hea^y manured soil in a temperature of about 90 de- grees, kept wet by . daily watering, is bound to get soaky and sour in a short time, and at the same time make con- ditions ideal for stem-rot. Not alone with lifted field grown plants is this pos- sible, but also with stock planted from pots. It is just as wrong to have them in soil of this kind. Some Practical Suggestions. To beginners, or those who have been troubled with stem-rot, it might be of value to follow the method described below in caring for the stock. With us it has proved most satisfactory. When- ever possible, use soil consisting of a rather sandy, fibrous loam. Sod soil dug and piled up two or three months before benching cannot be beat. There is no doubt but what soil of this kind costs more to get into shape when filling the benches, but it pays to use it. The lumpy parts of the soil can be used for the bottom layer, and the fine on top to plant into. Use care in planting the carnations. Do not bury the hard-wooded stems up to the foliage in the soil. The man who lets any bad foliage remain on the plants when bringing them in from the field is no gardener. One thorough soaking after planting, which should be done with the water turned on half force, and by going around the plants instead of trying to knock them over, will do for four to six days, but the stock should be kept from wilting by having a thick coat of mud wash on the glass to pro- tect the plants from the sun, and by syringing lightly three to four times daily. By syringing lightly is not meant a watering. It is only to be a fine spray, enough to moisten the foliage, and while for the first six to eight days after plant- ing a syringing late in the evening will help considerably to assist the plants in getting established, it is not advisable to have bushy plants wet over night after they have made sufficient new roots, for this, in case of the appearance of stem- rot, would not help matters. Ventilation and Shading. Most growers advocate the partial closing of the ventilators and doors of a fresh planted house. Where* however, one can get along without doing this, it is as well, for while a close atmosphere will, or might, prevent the plants from wilting, it also has a tendency, if in the least overdone, to create an unnatural growth on the plants, while the proper way is to keep the tops of the plants practically at a standstill until the new roots produce a fresh growth. One week after planting, a little of the shading on the glass can be removed and every third or fourth day a little more. Three weeks after planting should find the plants exposed to the fullest sun- light, every ventilator and door wide open. A few panes of glass removed along the gutters during August and the first part of September is often of great benefit. A circulation of fresh air is wanted in every corner of the house. No weeds or yellow leaves should ever be allowed to be seen in the benches. A light stirring up of the soil, one inch or so deep, will keep the soil porous and sweet. If the soil used in the benches July 30, 1008. The Weekly Florists' Review. n^s n*t^ Showing the Sections in the G>ncrete Bench Built by Otto 'Wittbold. should be of a heavy or clayey nature, a very light mulching of well rotted cow or horse manure worked into the surface will prevent the cracking and baking of the soil. Care in Use of Fertilizers. No manure or commercial fertilizer of any kind need be given to the plants until the middle of September, and then only in light doses, and only to benches where the plants are in a healthy grow- ing condition and therefore require feed- ing. A sickly carnation plant is never benefited by fertilizer of any kind, and one cannot replace a fibrous loam by using any old soil and adding manure to it. I am sure that if good soil is used, if the houses had a thorough cleaning, if there is careful watering and proper ventilation, and if the plants are kept clean and the surface of the soil loos- ened up during the hot summer months, it will help more than anything else to prevent stem-rot, or in case of its ap- jiep ranee, to check it. The best carnations we ever grew were grown last year. The soil for benching was dug from a pasture; the long grass had to be cut with a scythe. The sod of the soil was laid upside down over the bottom of the benches. No manure or fertilizer, with the exception of a light mulching two weeks after planting, was used until September 20, when some bone meal was applied, followed with a dose of sheep manure October 14. From 460 Enchantress treated this way, fifty flow- ers were cut which took first prize in the Chicago show. While this shows that good flowers can be had by this method of culture, it is also interesting to note that we lost less than two per cent of these plants by stemrot, on the balance planted in the house where this soil was used, while in the adjoining houses, where soil had bee^ used which was taken from a pile prepared the fall pre- vious, which was heavily manured, the loss by stem-rot was fully fifteen per cent. F. B. CARNATIONS IN ROSE HOUSE. I should like to plant one bed of car- nations in my rose house, where the tem- perature will be kept at 60 degrees. I have Pink Imperial, Enchantress, Queen, Bed Lawson, Lloyd, Afterglow, Nelson Fisher and Fair Maid. Which would you suggest as the best to plant in this temperature? L. B. W. To begin with. I will say that 60 degrees is too higii a temperature in which to expect good results from car- nations. Especially is this true when they are grown in the same house with roses, as rose house conditions are not suitable for growing carnations. The carnations could stand the high tem- perature fairly well if it could be accom- panied by an abundance of ventilation. This cannot be given in a rose house, however. Even in such case, only the stiffest stemjped varieties could be grown with any degree of satisfaction. The Lawson varieties are best adapted to this purpose and, among the varieties you mention, the Bed Lawson is the only one I would care to risk in the rose house. I cannot say anything about Lloyd, as this is our first season with that variety. While we are on this subject, a word on the . placing of varieties will ' not be amiss. The usual method seems to be to begin with the first bed and the first variety, and to fill up as the planting progresses. This is a mistake and fre- quently causes considerable loss and in- convenience later. The placing of each variety should have considerable study and should be carefully planned. In fact, the planting-in should be a part of a carefully laid out and definite plan, covering the entire season. You should know right now which house or bench you will vacate, to be used for the grow- ing of young stock; also which beds you will likely run late next summer for blooms, etc. Of course, your plans will always stand subject to alteration, as may be found expedient and necessary, but, barring failure or accident, your plans should be complete. Thus, you would not plant a midwinter variety on the same bed with a variety which holds up finely through the early summer. Nor would you plant a tall growing variety on the same bed with a short grower, like Mrs. Lawson. You will also plant varieties of the same color in the same bed, as far as possible — this last to facilitate cutting and bunch- ing the blooms. We are especially brought up against this proposition with the seedling varieties, of which there will be from a half dozen to a couple of hun- dred plants of each variety. To cut each color separate means going over the beds several times, and to cut them all at one time and sort out each color takes just about as long, and causes injury to the blooms from the extra handling. Another thing to which considerable thought should be given is the color of each variety and the eflfect of the sun- light on it. For instance, it is safe to plant all white varieties where they will get the full sun in all its strength, as it insures greater purity in color. It would not be wise, however, to plant Mrs. Law- son where it would get the full sun, un- less shading can be done conveniently without injuring other sorts. Better plant this on a north bench, where the light is subdued, as it will save the color and at the same time have a tendency to draw up the stems. All the light pink varieties should be placed similarly, to save the color. Practically none of them can bear the full glare of the sun dur- ing March and April without losing that pleasing glow in the color, if the blooms are allowed to develop on the plants. Enchantress and the Bose-pink sport are especially sensitive on this point. The temperature will give you' less con- cern. With the elimination of the Law- son tribe, which is gradually taking place on many places, we have left but few varieties wMch will not thrive in an average temperature of 50 to 52 degrees. Where Lawson is still grown it daould, of course, be given the warm end, or a separate house. In planting the modern carnation house but little thought need be given to the height of a variety, providing a whole bed is planted of one variety. Such varieties as Enchantress, Victory and White Perfection should have not less than three feet of space between the bed and the roof, while Lawson will do with a foot less, if need be. We are great believers in high and airy houses, aa being far superior to the low roofed and narrow structures of old. They turn out a better product, and results are what count. A. F. J. B. OTTO WITTBOLiyS BENCH. The Wittbold family, at Chicago, is prolific in new ideas, particularly in the line of greenhouse construction. Most of the members of the family have taken their turn at the origination of some- thing new in the equipment of retail or growing establishments. One brother built a boiler, one invented a plant stand for decorating, another a watering de- vice and a concrete bench, and now the youngest brother. Otto Wittbold, who has charge of the plant at Edgebrook, has taken a turn and devised a • concrete bench. He says that if anyone can find fault with his brother's bench, because of its one-piece construction, he will find all the points covered by coming to Edgebrook, for the second brother built his benches in sections. There is nothing like keeping things in the family. The way Otto Wittbold builds his benches is shown in the accompanying illustrations, which are from pen and ink drawings showing the several pieces. No. 1 is the side angle piece. The height of the upper leg is eight inches and its thickness is one and a half inches. The width of the lower leg is four and a half inches and its thickness is one inch. The length of the piece may be anything from four to six feet. It is T«i?5??i?V The Weekly Florists' Review^ July 30, 1908, reinforced with expanded metal, which is an article known to the concrete trades and is nothing more than sheet steel which has been slashed by machinery and drawn out until it resembles the shape of chicken wire. No. 2 in the illustration is the cross- piece, also reinforced with this expand- ed metal. The width is eight inches and the thickness one inch. The length is whatever width it is desired to make the bench. At the Wittbold establish- ment it is five feet eight inches. • No. 3 and No. 4 show the post. The side next the walk is perpendicular. The other three sides incline, so that the top of the post is four inches square and the bottom eight inches. The post is two feet high. No. 5 shows how the parts go together. Mr. Wittbold says that with the soil and plants the weight serves to hold the side pieces so firmly that an ordinary man has not strength enough to pull one of the pieces out. Of course, if one did come out, that section of the bench would fall, as there are no other carriers. Otto Wittbold claims economy in the construction of this bench. The quantity of cement consumed is not great, because all the parts except the posts are light. The expanded metal is cheap. The parts are made in a metal mold which Mr. Wittbold bought of the Noth-Sharp-Sail- or Co., in the Monadnock, block, Chicago, for making concrete blocks for other purposes. He also bought of this firm a concrete mixer which makes great economy in time. It was after using the outfit in other work that he discov- ered that the mold could be adjusted to make the several shapes required in bench construction. LEAF RUST ON KILLARNEY. Enclosed please find Killarney rose leaves. Is this leaf spot or black spot? All other roses in the same house are doing fine. I spray them with copper so- lution to get rid of this. Is this right? If not, kindly advise a better remedy. My house is a three-quarter-span, with top and side ventilation, facing south. I ke^p both open day and night. Is that all right? ,A. S. This trouble is not black spot, but one of the forms of leaf rust, and not es- pecially dangerous. Copper solution is the best remedy known. This should be applied with a nozzle having a fine spray and every part of the leaves and stems should receive the spray. Once a week is often enough. Ribes. REMEDY FOR MILDEV. I would like to know of some inex- pensive solution that I could procure at any drug store and which, when united with water and sprayed on the plants, would keep down mildew on roses under glass in summer. I do not want to use sulphur, as it spoils the color of the buds. L. N. After a good deal of research and in- quiries I cannot find a better remedy for mildew than the fumes of sulphur. Nor have I been able to find any agent that can be applied in the form of a spray that would be effective. This question has been so frequently discussed that if there had been any effective remedy of this nature it would not long remain unknown. Ribes. OLD PLANTS AS AN ADV. F. H. Kramer, Washington, D. C, made good use of the old bench plants from his greenhouses by giving them away at his retail store. The follow- ing notice handed out to the Washing- ton papers brought a big crowd: ' * Ten thousand rose bushes will be given away next Friday morning by F. H. Kramer, at his main store, 916 E street northwest. Included in the lot will be Golden Gate, Richmond, Brides- maid, Byde and Ivory. Ten thousand of these bushes will be brought over from Mr. Kramer's hothouses in Ana- costia, and at 7:30 o'clock Friday morn- ing the distribution will begin. "The rose bushes will be given to callers just for the asking — that is the only price Mr. Kramer has set on his roses. Children who come must have a note from their parents, because Mr. Kramer does not feel that ha can other- wise accommodate the younger ele- ment." ' SHREDDED CATTLE MANURE. I would like the opinion of some of the large growers near Chicago as to the manurial value of shredded cattle manure. It is not much known here in the east, but we have trouble in han- dling natural fertilizers in the summer and are interested in the odorless prod- uct, "which we understand is largely used by some of the growers in Chi- cago. A. D. The pioneer user, and still probably the largest consumer, of shredded cattle manure for greenhouse use was Bassett & Washburn, Hinsdale, 111. In October of last year the manufacturers of this product asked Bassett & Washburn for an expression of their opinion of the product and received the following re- ply: "We took one car as a trial, then we gave you an order for two cars more and now we have just bought of you 300 tons. We gave your manure a good trial test as follows: We put 900 pounds on a bench 300 feet long and five and one-half feet wide, as a mulch on Beauties, and on the next bench, of exactly the same size, planted also with Beauties, we put 2,000 pounds of rough cattle manure. After three days the rough manure had become all washed out, nothing be- ing left but straw and dirt, while your shredded manure lasted ten to twelve days and is still doing work. In making manure water it is fully three to four times as strong as the rough manure. The advantages of its even quality and the easy and unobjectionable way of handling the manure, not a pound being wasted, makes it cheaper, in our opin- ion, than the rough manure which we can get for simply the cost of freight and loading. ' ' Upon receipt of the above inquiry the Review asked Mr. Washburn if he had anything to add, from further experi- ence. His reply follows: "We find it holds up to our letter given the Pulverized Manure Co. The main value lies in the use of this manure as a mulch. We are now using it in mixing up our soil and later on can tell better how it acts and also give some details regarding its cost in mixing with soil, compared to rough cattle manure."' OUTDOOR MUMS IN TENNESSEE. I have a fine selection of chrysanthe- mum plants, growing in the garden un- der a frame. The frame will be boxed up on the north and west sides with matched flooring, and the south and east sides will be closed up with heavy duck curtains. The top will have an awn- ing over it, attached so as to roll up and down and made of the same heavy ducking. I do not intend to box it up or do anything to it until cool nights ap- pear. I have lately put about four inclies of well rotted leaf-mold over the beds as a mulching, to keep the plants cool and damp during the hot weather of July and August. Do you think this would likely cause the plants to take mildew or rustf C, F. P. Such a box as C. F. P. proposes should grow fairly good flowers, as I imagine there is little heavy frost in Tennessee until the mums are through flowering. July 30, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Eighteen-months-old Dorothy Perkins Rose. A mulch of four inches at one time is considerable and the plants will need careful watering for a time. Half the depth would be much better, I think, though leaf-mold does not lie so closely as rotten manure. The chief trouble will be that heavy storms will make the beds very wet and the mulch will prevent them from dry- ing out as they should. I think if C. F. P. could fix the awning of duck now and run it over the plants during rains, that it would be of great advantage. Bust always appears in this section on plants grown outside, when we get wet weather in August. C. H. T. REMEDY FOR WHITE FLY. Please let me know what is a good remedy for white fly on mums, obconicas and other plants. I have used different kinds of tobacco products, with only par- tial success. J. F. F. Tobacco does not seem strong enough to kill the white fly in the summer time, as the houses must be ventilated freely every day and the fly that is stupefied at night recovers again in the daytime. Use the hydrocyanic acid gas so often recommended in the Review for that par- ticular insect and, with proper care, no serious results should follow to the plants. C. H. T. BLACK FLY ON MUMS. My mums are all full of a little black bug and I have tried several different remedies. I got rid of them by using To-bak-ine, but I had to use it so strong that it burned the plants. I should like to know if there is something that will kill the bugs without burning the plants. I am sending a leaf that has some on it, but the stems are just black with them. I am just a beginner and have never seen these on mums before. W. T. G. The bug is the black fly, which is the most common pest that affects the mum and, as a rule, is the easiest to dispose of. If W. T. ,G. will use tobacco dust of the brand supplied by good dealers, he will find it the cheapest and best thing to use. I have used nothing else for years and have never had a leaf in- jured by its use. A little experimenting will show how much is needed for the house, remembering that two or three consecutive smokings are far better than one heavy one. C. H. T. TEMPERATURE FOR MUMS. The temperature in my greenhouses, with the doors and the side and top vents open, and with the glass whitewashed, runs from 96 to 106 degrees every day. Is not that too hot to plant mumsf I have mine in coldframes, in 3-inch pots. They are from four to six inches high. A. W. While the temperature is certainly warm, it is not too hot to plant mums, providing the plants receive the proper moisture in the atmosphere and at the root. Spray them over several times during the day and get off the whitewash as soon as the weather cools off a little. With attention and by spending the time on the plants, I see no reason why A. W. should not produce good flowers. C. H. T. DOROTHY PERKINS ROSE. A. Mitting, of Santa Cruz, Cal., says he can endorse the judgment, published in the Review July 9, awarding to Dor- othy Perkins rose preeminence in its class. Mr. Mitting asserts that it is the finest climber for California and backs up his opinion by reference to the photo- graph reproduced herewith, which shows a plant of Dorothy Perkins from a cut- ting made only eighteen months pre- viously. The scene is the office door of Mr. Mitting, at Santa Cruz. The conditions in the vicinity of Santa Cruz, Cal., have been found well adapt- ed to the growing of the gladiolus and a number of persons there are now en- gaged more or less extensively in the production of bulbs for the trade. A. Mitting sends the photograph reproduced herewith, of a patch he is growing for seed this season.

ASPARAGUS SPRENGEEL I would like to know from some reader of the Review which is the proper method of growing Asparagus Spren- geri; for instance, old plants which have been benched one year and are too thick. How should they be handled? Would it be all right to take them out and put in fresh soil and give them more room? Also what temperature should they be grown in, and will they do well in a solid bed? In harvesting the crop, should they be cut or pulled? I met a man recently who always pulls each spray out from the roots and does not cut them. Is this good for the plants? M. R. K. While transplanting old stock of Spren- geri gives good results, still we prefer to replant with nice young pot plants and grow right along in a temperature of 60 to 70 degrees. The more heat you give the faster they grow, A solid bed suits them admirably as far as growing is concerned, but you get much nicer sprays out of a hanging box or basket. It seems to make no difference to the plants whether you cut or pull the sprays. Albert F. Amlinq. UNLOVELY PECKY CYPRESS. Much has been said and pubUsbed about pecky cypress, but so far nobody has told the florist plainly the truth about the appearance of it, and many people have refused shipments because they thought the lumber was rotten and unfit for use. Pecky cypress is the poorest and worst looking lot of lumber you ever saw and at the first sight of it anybody not being acquainted with cypress would pronounce it unfit for anything but to build a fire with. The boards are full of holes and sometimes there are so many of these holes that the board is weakened until it breaks in handling, from its own weight. Such boards, of course, cannot be used and should be thrown out, but you must expect to get a few pieces of this kind when you buy a carload. The cavities in the lumber are filled with a dust-like substance that accumulated while the tree was growing, but these cavities, or holes, do not get any larger or increase in size after the tree is cut down. What caused the cavities, known as the "peck," scien- tists and lumbermen have been unable to find out, and it is not known whether they came about through the working of insects or through lack of nourishment when the tree was young. Whatever the cause, the fact remains that pecky cypress is full of the cavities and is a tough-looking lot of stuflf to be called lumber. You must expect to get lumber that looks to be absolutely rotten, but, as long as it is strong enough to hold up the soil in the benches, the more rotten it looks the longer it will last, says one of the authorities. The best boards are the ones that have a large number of cavities, for the "peck" is the thickest in the heart of the tree, and these boards are nearly always free of sap. The durability of pecky cypress cannot be questioned, for it has been used in trenches in New Orleans, La., for fifty years without decaying and will outlast any other lumber known. Pecky cypress is just as durable, if the right kind of pecky cypress, as the grade from which the greenhouse sashbars and construction material is made; it is superior to all other grades of cypress in durability, as all other grades have sap in them and sap will surely rot. There is just one thing against pecky cypress and that is its strength. If you set your bench posts not over four feet apart (three feet six inches would be better) the lumber will be strong enough. Don't put any stock in any other grade of cypress for benches out- side of pecky, as it will not prove to be the lumber you wanted. Pecky is the best thing for the purpose, but don 't expect to get nice sound boards or you will be much disappointed. When you ask for prices, tell the firm you buy from to send a small sample of the lumber. Any cypress lumber that can be sold for the price of pecky cypress, or for half again as much, is an inferior grade of cypress, as far as durability goes, and will not last. ^ LILIES FOR FALL BLOOMING. Will some kind reader of the Review inform us as to the forcing of cold storage lilies, so as to have them in bloom the latter part of September and Oc- tober? We have a small retail place and wish to have some white lilies for funeral work. What is the proper kind and a few points on treatment of samef T. G. B. For flowering at the time you speak of, the several varieties of Lilium speciosum will be better for you than L. longi- florum or Harrisii. These lilies may be grown either in pots or the open ground. To insure a succession of flowers it will be as well to grow a few each way. The bulbs usually arrive here about the end of November. For outdoor culture se- lect, if possible, a position where the plants can be afforded a little shade. Do not use any fresh manure when plant- ing, and be sure no water stands in win- ter on the land. Plant eight to ten inches deep and give a mulch of leaves or strawy manure. During summer, a mulch of decayed manure is also of great benefit. Should the ground be frozen before your bulbs arrive, use a bar to remove the frozen surface. A better plan would be to spread some protective material over the place where the bulbs are to go, to exclude frost. We have planted out various lilies in De- cember for some years and results have always been satisfactory. Spring plant- ing I cannot recommend. These outdoor speciosum will, in New Hampshire, start blooming about the end of August and last until October. They are perfectly hardy and will last a number of years. By potting or boxing a number of bulbs, keeping over winter in a coldframe covered with coarse manure, and growing along in a cool greenhouse after April, you can get a splendid lot of these lilies. They will come in during August and September and will give you finer and cleaner flowers than the outdoor stock. One great advantage of having them in pots or boxes is that you can move them to a cool place and retard them at will. Boxes six inches deep, a yard long and a foot tpide will hold eighteen to twenty bulbs. If in pots, use three in a 7-inch and five in an 8-inch, rather than grow them in small pots. Feed liberally when the pots are filled with roots. Do not allow aphis to secure any foothold, and stake the shoots securely before the buds begin to weigh them down. In humid weather the flowers are liable to spot badly outdoors. If cut just as the first flowers open, they will expand in water and be cleaner in color than if exposed to outdoor conditions. The most useful variety is L. speciosum album. If colored sorts are desired L. speciosum Melpomene, crimson spotted and margined white; roseum, white spot- ted rose, and rubrum, white heavily spotted crimson, are all desirable. Should you, h6wever, prefer to grow cold storage longiflorums, pot these at the end of May or in the first part of June. Use 5-inch pots for each bulb seven to nine inches in size. After pot- ting, water well and stand on a bed of coal ashes in a coldframe. Cover the pots with a mulch of moss or strawy ma- nure. Do not put on any sashes, but cover with board shutters. Tilt these at top and bottom to admit some air. Ex- amine the plants occasionally. Do not water much until the pots are well filled with roots. Remove the mulch as growths appear and place on a bench in a light, sunny house, or under coldframe sash. Treat as you would lilies for Eas- ter, forcing or retarding them as wanted. C. W. RUST ON GLADIOLL Will you please tell me what to do with rust on gladioli? They seem to do nicely while growing, but just before they form the bloom they are attacked with rust, which keeps them from bloom- ing. Some die immediately; others re- main all summer in that condition, nei- ther growing nor dying. Will Bordeaux mixture help them, and how strong should the mixture be made? Last year I lost all the crop. I did not plant in the same ground this year. Is it necessary to tie them to a wire for support? I plant two and a half inches deep and some of them fall over. H, M. The rust which has attacked the stock of gladioli to which you refer is seldom found in our fields. Bulbs planted in heavy soil, which during a wet season is apt to hold too much moisture, and also bulbs planted in low, wet soil, will show inclination to rust, especially during a very hot season. I attribute, however, the most of this rusting to weakness in the vitality of the bulb, for inbred and chance seedlings are more affected than other stock, even in the best of soil. I secured from Europe several years ago a quantity of bulbs of a very beau- tiful and expensive variety, which I gave the best of soil and conditions possible, but in three years I had hardly any of this variety left, owing to its being at- tacked by rust, which appeared just after the buds were well developed and ready to bloom — the same experience as H, M. has had. It was a singular coincidence, too, that the originator of this variety reported crop failure the same year, demonstrating to me that the vitality, and not the soil or weather conditions, was responsible. Where we find a variety affected in this manner, unless we are positive it is due to climatic or soil conditions, we dis- card it entirely, no matter what its value may be. While Bordeaux mixture may to a certain extent help to check rust ap- pearing on the gladiolus, yet I believe, although I have had no practical experi- ence in the matter, that the relief would be only temporarO To grow gladioms bulbs successfully, I sandy loam is quite essential, althougli July 30, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review. they may be grown in heavier soil with varied success. The bulbs should be planted from three to four inches deep, according to the size of the bulb, and if so planted no supports will be necessary, except with some varieties which produce a very slim spike and extremely large flowers.

Peters & Reed 82 Camp Conduit Co 180 J. G. Neidinger 176 O. M. Garland Co 100 Washington Iron Works 50 EUwanger & Barry 60 American Florist Co 32 I have notified the Merchants' Dis- patch people to have their different agents call on shippers whose names I will supply them, to see if these can be induced to get all their freight together in one car, or several cars, at the dif- ferent cities, so that if possible all, or nearly all, freight will get to Niagara Falls on one day. At Niagara Falls I have arranged with H. W. Anderson, a responsible teaming firm, to take care of all freight coming to the convention. This firm agrees to carry all freight from the railroads to the trade exhibition hall for 15 cents per cwt. All shippers will shortly be supplied from this oflSce with uniformly printed tags giving shipping directions, etc. This, I think, will minimize the danger of delays or possible miscar- riage. Freight should in every case be pre- paid, as this will avoid confusion and possible delay. We have further arranged to cover all tables and benches used by exhibitors with either dark green cambric or, if preferred, white cotton goods. This will be done without extra charges. Chas H. Keitsch, Supt. HOTELS AT NIAGARA FALLS. I have had a number of inquiries re- garding hotels and their rates at Ni- agara Falls, so offer the following list of the better houses in that city: Cataract and International (headquarters), American plan, $3.00 to $5.00. Prospect House, American plan, $3.00 to f6.00. Imperial Hotel, American plan, |2.50 to $3.50. Temperance House, $2.00 and up. Tower Hotel, American plan, $2.50 upwards. Clifton Hotel, American plan, $2.50 upwards. Kaltenbacb, American plan, $3.00. New Clifton House (Canadian side), |4.00 to $6.00. J. Rowland Cloudsley. CINCINNATI TO NIAGARA FALLS Inasmuch as through peculiar circum- stances the Cincinnati delegation to the S. A. F. convention at Niagara Falls is able to take advantage of an excursion that is being run to that city, leaving here at the proper time and with a time limit of twelve days, we desire to have it known to all florists of this district that the Cincinnati florists extend to them a hearty welcome to join us and at the same time save money. The Cincinnati delegation will leave Saturday, August 15, via C, H. & D., at 1:30 p. m. to Detroit, remaining there till Monday evening, when they will join the Detroit delegation, going by boat to Buffalo, thence by rail to the Charles H. Keitsch. (Superintendent Trades' Exhibition Niagara Falls GonTention, S. A. F.) Falls. The round trip rate will be but $7. A stateroom on the boat will cost $2,50, and holds three persons. Inas- much as staterooms on the boat will soon be at a premium, it is necessary that all those desiring to take ad- vantage of this low rate communicate at once with E. G. Gillett, 114 East Third street, who has the matter in charge. Those not wishing to lay over in De- troit till Monday evening can leave Sun- day evening just as well if due notice is given. Cincinnati expects to have a large delegation, as everyone knows we are after the convention for 1909. C. J. Ohmeb, Sec'y. SHASTA DAISIES. Please inform us what month is best for the plantihg of Shasta daisies. Is it better to put out plants or seedf R. V. By sowing seeds of Shasta daisy, Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum hy- bridum, now in a coldframe and trans- planting to the open ground when suffi- ciently large to handle, you can secure quite good flowering plants for next summer. We have found that there is considerable variation in the seedlings. While the majority have large and finely formed flowers, there are a few inferior ones which will require discarding. By selecting a few of the best seedlings and propagating these by root division, you can secure just as fine types aa the several named varieties on the market. If you do not wish to trouble about ] raising the plants from seeds, iney can ' be purchased from any dealer in hardy perennials, at a moderate price. If you get a good strain of Shasta daisy, it will prove useful for cutting in June and early July, also making a splendid sub- ject for the herbaceous border. C. W. ROOT LICE ON ASTERS. While my asters look well, occasionally there is one showing injury, and I find small blue lice feeding on the roots. Will tobacco dust worked in around the roots do any good? I can apply it much more quickly than tobacco water. I have about 20,000 plants. L. J. B. The life history of the blue louse found on aster roots does not appear to be known to entomologists, and remedial measures which will clear out the peet are not known. Plants attacked have a wilted, stunted appearance and, on be- ing pulled up, the roots are found cov- ered with masses of bluish colored lice in all stages of development. Change of ground is a necessity when once the pest appears. Newly broken up sod land will be less subject to attack than old ground. With as many as 20,000 plants to look over, it will be a considerable task to apply tobacco water, but we have found this the best remedy so far. Tobacco dust scattered around each affected plant and worked into the soil helps to some extent, if the ground is dry, but to kill the pests entirely, use carbon bisulphide. Make a hole six inches deep with a pointed stick. Drop a little of the car- bon in the hole and immediately cover the top. The fumes will speedily suffo- cate the lice, but, of course, unhatched eggs may make a second dose necessary. C. W. 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review* JtJLY 30, 1908. OMAHA. The Market* Business is about the quietest we ever had. Stock is poor. Some young roses axe coming in and asters are getting bet- ter right along. Florists* Picnic The florists of Omaha and Council Bluffs held their picnic at Lake Manawa, la., July 23. The fine weather brought out the biggest gathering of florists and their families we ever had. A well se- lected program made the picnic inter- esting. In the men's race the first prize was won by Roy Wilcox and the second by H. Meyer, both of Council Blufts. The prizes consisted of a box of cigars for each. In the ladies ' race the first prize, a box of candy, was won by Miss Gret- chen Swoboda. In the boys ' race the first prize was won by Henry G. Hess, the second by Fred Holman. After the races the ladies and children were treated to the various entertain- ments on the grounds. At 6 o 'clock over ninety were seated at the pavilion, where they all enjoyed a lunch and refresh- ments. At 7 0 'clock all went across the beautiful Lake Manawa, where some went bathing and others danced. Some of the men bowled until a late hour and all seemed to have a good time, such as they never had before at any picnic. Various Notes. Mr. Wood, of Providence, R. I., passed through Omaha on his way to California. G. Swoboda and family will leave for Colorado next week. E. Hooge left July 15 for Europe, to visit his parents, whom he has not seen for about twenty-two years. Alfalfa. NEW YORK. TheMai^et. Last week brought its beneficial show- ers. The effect on parks and gardens and florists ' outdoor stock and vegetables has been magical, and with a continuance of tte present seasonable weather great harvests in every department of horti- culture seem to be assured. Relief came in the nick of time. Another week of drought would have wrought incalculable damage. The business in the cut flower whole- sale section is not dead, but sleeping. En- terprising and optimistic memfeera of the distributing department are renovating and beautifying their stores, evidently confident that the tide has turned and the future is bright. The boom, they say, should not wait for election re- turns. The great harvests of the west are beyond the danger point and, as one far-seeing prognosticator expressed it, nothing can stop the coming wave of lirosperity. As to the present, there are plenty of asters, water lilies and gladioli, and all of them have already reached summer prices. The creation of any general de- mand for anything is out of the ques- tion. The few orchids and Beauties that come in perfect find quick sale. AJi else are forced sales, except carnations, good stock of which is not to be had in quantity. Asters are rapidly improv- ing in quality. The good effect of the thorough rains is also seen on the gladioli and sweet peas. Plenty of all kinds of lilies are to be had. Various Notes. In advance of the New York and New Jersey clam bake comes the celebration of the Cut Flower Exchange Saturday, August 1, at Witzel 's Point, where, at 1 p. m., there will be a shore dinner, followed by games and dancing. There will be a large attendance. Messrs. Gols- ner, Hahn and Dort^al are the committee. The grounds may be reached by trolley from the Thirty-fourth street New York ferry. This is the second annual outing of the growers who do business in the Coogan building. George Saltf ord 's wholesale store was entered by burglars late Friday night, July 24. The enterprising burglar forced open an 8-inch panel at the side of the store and slid through the aperture. He secured all the cash and $15 worth of postage stamps, and all the private papers belonging to Mr. Saltford, includ- ing checks, insurance papers, wills and other documents of value only to himself and for the recovery of which he will gladly pay a reasonable reward to the gentleman who appropriated them. Strange thing, this stealing from a whole- sale florist in the summer. So short- sighted. Clarence Saltford and wife returned July 24 from their outing in tlj^e wilds of New Jersey's mountains. Jos. Vock(a,,with W. H. Siebrecht, and family returned July 25 from a two weeks' holiday at Cold Spring Harbor. Joseph Levy and family are back from a month at Luzerne, N. Y., and John Seligman and wife left July 25 for Lex- ington, in Sullivan county. Mrs. John Nash and son, Aubrey, are spending three months at their old home in London, England. Meantime Mr. Nash follows the good old English week end custom^ at Sea Cliff, L. I. Lewis Miller, with L, M. Noe, is back from a two weeks' sojourn at the old homestead in Morris county. New Jersey. Horace Froment's big force are hap- py. James Coyle and wife will be at Duncan Axilla, South Cairo, until August 10. George Orth has spent a month at Kingston. James Maloney, bookkeeper, is at Delaware Water Gap. Phil. Ditz- enberger goes August 8 to Asbury Park and on the same date Mr. Froment de- parts for green pastures and still waters in the Catskills. Mrs. and Miss Berger, of H. H. Berger & Co., returned from their two months' European trip Thursday, July 23. Arthur Hunt, of Langjahr's, has been two weeks at Ridgefield, Conn. Miss Grace Miller, daughter of W. H. Miller, with A. L. Young & Co., is at Belmar, N. J. — ' Mr. Devoy, the violet grower of Pough- keepsie, was a recent visitor. President P. H. Traendly will be at Niagara Falls this week, and with ex- President Kasting and others will put the finishing touches on arrangements for the comfort and enjoyment of the con- ventionists. John Young, secretary of the transportation committee, would ap- preciate immediate assurance from all who intend to go in the New York special train at 10 a. m., Monday, August 17. Write him without delay. The loss of L. Wertheimer & Co., the Japanese importers, of 39 Barclay street, by water because of the fire above their store, was heavy.

Four years ago the Yuess Gardens were established at Newburg by B. H. Cathcart, Sr. Ten acres will be devoted to nursery stock and already 25,000 square feet of glass are utilized in growing roses, carnations and a general line of palms, ferns and plants for the retail trade. The greenhouses were built by Mitchell, of Poughkeepsie, and are thoroughly up-to-date. Bride, Maid and Richmond are the varieties of roses grown, and all the new carnations, as well as a complete line of herbaceous stock. Donald Cameron, a veteran grow- er, is in charge of the greenhouse depart- ment. R. H. Cathcart, Jr., is president of the company. The firm has two stores in the city, the largest on Water street, where the whole three-story build- ing is to be utilized. In the wholesale department, of which Walter Mott is manager, bulbs, plants and seeds will be handled extensively and a large cata- logue trade established. Travelers will be employed and no expense spared to build and increase the business. A gen- eral line of nursery stock will be im- ported this falU Mr. Mott has moved his family to Newburg. A. M.

Weigel & Ujfalussy report a good trade at their new stqre, 136 West Twen- ty-eighth street. They succeeded Emil Steffens, a supply house established over forty years ago, and have issued a new catalogue. Congratulations are due E, McKay Whiting, of the Florists' Board of Trade, who lately appropriated one of Chicago's fair daughters, and Michael Ford, of Ford Bros., who, with Mrs. Ford, a charming bride from the city of churches, has just returned from a honeymoon trip to Niagara Falls and Canada. The New York and New Jersey Asso- ciation of Plant Growers has settled upon September 15 as the date of its second outing this season. It will be a clam bake at Whitestone, L. I. The Johnson brothers, of the Johnson Heating Co., are enjoying a brief holi- day in the Adirondacks. BowIln£. The interest in the bowling club in- creases as the convention approaches.

Albert Galloway, one of the best known carnation growers in the vicinity of San Francisco, died at his home in Fruitvale, Cal., July 12. He was a na- tive of England and had resided in Cali- fornia for the last ten years. His wife died about two years ago and he was laid beside her in Holy Cross cemetery, July 16. Mr. Galloway was 40 years of age and had no family. He leaves prop- erty interests in Fruitvale valued at $15,000. John A. McCanp. John A. McCann, of Nashville, Tenn., who has been connected with the Lischey Nursery and Greenhouse for the last six- teen years, died July 22 at the home of his son, F. S. McCann, 708 John street, Birmingham, Ala. Mr. McCann was tak- en suddenly ill while on a short visit to his son, and was not able to overcome the attack. He died in a short time after he was taken sick. Mr. McCann was originally from Williamson county, where he had many friends, who will regret very much his sudden death. He is survived by two sons, F. 8. McCann, of Birmingham, and James McCann, who is with the United States army now in Cuba. The funeral ser\-ices and inter- ment took place in Birmingham July 24.

SOCIETY OP AMERICAN FLOBISTS. Incobpoeated by Act of Congress March 4, '01 Officers for 1908: President, F. H. Traendly, New York; vice-president, George W. McClure, Buffalo; secretary, Willis N. Rudd, Morgan Park, 111.; treasurer, H. B. Beatty, Pittsburg. Annual convention, Niagara Falls, August 18 to 21, 1908. First National Flower Show, Chicago, Novem- ber 9 to 15, 1908; W. F. Kastlng, BuSalo, chairman. Charles H. Keitscp says that thus far travel to Niagara Falls has been rather light this season and the members of the S. A. F. need have little fear of overcrowding. Field-grown carnation plants promise to be excellent property again this sea- son, especially in the east, where the weather has been dry. Western growers who have a surplus will be called on to ship quantities to less favored districts. When you have a kick to make, put it in civil language. Many a complaint fails of getting what is wanted simply because the language used angers the re- cipient of the letter and prevents an ad- justment which would otherwise be will- ingly and promptly made. SWEET PEAS FOR CHRISTMAS. Will you kindly advise me as to the best season to plant sweet peas and the best white varieties for indoors, to bloom about Christmas? C. J. P. Sow on or about September 1. With a night temperature of 45 to 48 de- grees, they will be in good crop for Christmas. The favorite white, forcing variety is Mont Blanc, but two of Mr, Zvolanek's varieties, Watchung and Flor- ence Denzer, are good. The latter re- sembles Mont Blanc closely, but Wat- chung is somewhat dwarfer in habit and will bloom ten days to a fortnight earlier. C. W. THE MARKET FOR CYPRESS. The cypress trade is quiet, but prices are on an average $1 a thousand better than the low mark, perhaps more, and no effort is being made to unload stock on the large distributing markets. In fact, Chicago and New York are receiv- ing little cypress and prices are respond- ing to the shortage of stock. Factory demand is increasing and another factor which enters into the situation is the shortage of many items and the gener- ally broken condition of mill stocks. The orders placed with the mills continue to call for immediate shipment. — American Lumberman. PRICE OF GLASS. The Chicago office of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Co. makes the following statement as to the advance in the price of glass referred to in the Review of July 16: During the last ten days the window glass manufacturers have made two changes in their selling discounts that cover about 20 per cent of an increase in greenhouse glass. Conditions this year are rather peculiar, from the fact that in former years the hand-blown manufacturers were able to carry from 10,000 to 15,000 boxes in stock after closing down, but financial conditions changed all this so that the present stocks in the hands of the several manu- facturers are lower by far than they ever have been before.

I wish to state that a much easier way for me is to grow them fi;om the leaves. I do not know whether it is generally known that they can be suc- cessfully grown in this way, and I have never noticed any reference to it as a method of increasing this plant. In my case it was purely an accident that caused me to try it. I have some forty odd plants that I have grown from three small leaves. I have them from half an inch to eight inches in height, and all good, thrifty plants. My method is to take matured leaves from the bottom of the plant — under leaves — and lay them flat in the bench, covering them half an inch deep, in the sunlight, and keeping them moist. In three or four weeks the little plants will appear all around the outer edge of the leaf, from which they can be cut off and potted after they are half an inch to an inch high. I am simply giving this for what it may be worth to those who may not know of this method. A. D. Zimmerman. •,;.'■■'/ 'TiW' >\ ■ ^.iVV ■■.'"■ ♦ Jdlt 30, 1908.

CHICAGO. The Market. Business continues about on the usual summer level. There are a few houses which report greater activities than last year, but a balance is struck by the houses which say things are not quite up. The difference appears to lie in the shipping trade done. Those houses which cater especially to the shipping demand, and which made provisions for summer supplies of good stock, are being re- paid for their trouble; shipping is good, rather better than ever before in the summer, but city trade is largely funeral work of the cheaper class. The feature of the market this week is the sudden and almost total disappear- ance of carnations; it appears the grow- ers are, almost to the last one, replant- ing their houses. The result has been that there is a marked increase in the call for carnations from outside the city, with few available to meet the demand. The city buyers do not ask for carna- tions, because asters are so abundant and so. cheap that they are preferred to car- nations. One large grower says he will cut no more carnations until October. There has been an increase in the supply of Beauties and the quality also has improved. As the young stock gains strength, longer stems are available and the most critical buyer can now be pleased with the Beauties available in quantity. Killarney is giving an ex- cellent crop for many growers, but it is the most popular rose at this date and sells well. Some first-class Kaiserin also are seen and are in good demand, but Bride and Maid are small and not in request when other varieties are avail- able. There is little demand for red or yellow roses. Asters cleaned up in first-class style until July 27, which was the first day the wholesalers had any surplus. The quality is good and the supply from now on promises to be equal to the ca- pacity of the market. Sweet peas are practically out of it; there still are a number of shippers, but the quality has deteriorated and they will see their end shortly. The growers of Easter lilies ought to figure out some better program. Not many days ago orders for lilies could not be' filled at any price, while now the supply is so great that prices are lower than they should be. The trouble comes in that there is a break between crops, and all growers seem to be either cutting or off crop at once. There con- tinue to be good supplies of auratum, and rubrum and album have been added to the list. Gladioli are coming in heavily. Ameri- ca and Augusta sell well, considering the oversupply, but the common varieties are hard to dispose of at any price. Much of the stock is poor. There is little demand for green goods, other than ferns and galax, and the growers of smilax and asparagus strings would be glad to see a few good orders for decorations. Various Notes. August Poehlmann is spending a few days at boyhood scenes in Milwaukee. It also is vacation time at the city store. George Poehlmann returned Monday from The Weekly Florists' Review. \ July 30, 1908.

Mrs. Marshall Field rose is making a splendid record this summer for Peter Beinberg. They are cutting about as much Mrs. Field as all other varieties combined. Percy Jones says that he sold the last of the peonies for Klehm's Nurseries July 29; last year the supply held out to August 25. C. M. Dickinson, of E. H. Hunt's, is expected home from Pelican Lake July 80. He would have returned before but for the illness of his son, Donald, who took the family vacation time for his measles. The E. F.

A. C. Kohlbrand, ot E. C. Amling, has returned from a fishing expedition to Alden, Mich. Max Hingier, of the staflf of the Ken- nicott Bros. Co., is on duty after his annual vacation. This house is now re- ceiving large shipments of album and rubrum lilies, in addition to auratum. Bassett & Washburn are cutting the heaviest crop of summer Beauties in their history. Mr. Washburn says it is more than 2,000 fiowers per day. The Florists' Club cleaned up about $235 on its annual picnic this year. The A. L. Randall Co. is receiving r Vote for J. F.

This lily is splendidly adapted to growing on a florist's home grounds for use in mak- ing up designs, etc., but it is not spe- cially liked in the wholesale cut flower market, where much of the stock must be reshipped. It does not open well if cut in the bud state. i The Budlong family is again sum- mering in cottages at Lake Geneva. Mrs. J. A. Budlong and her daughters and grandchildren are there permanently, and A. H. Budlong and P. C. Schupp go up before the week end. Frank Johnson, of the A. L.

Walz, who is now in business at Seattle, Wash., sends Chicago friends blooms of a new, large fringed daisy that originated on his place three years ago. He says it is hardy and has all the good qualities of the other varieties and he expects to put the stock on the mar- ket soon.

John Stroerr, who has been employed by James C. Murray at the store, has resignlpd and accepted a position as foreman with Hugo Rudolph, of Manito- woc, Wis. Mr. Stroerr is one of Peoria's boys and has made lots of friends, who regret having him leave. They all wish him success. Alex Alexander, of Pekin, 111., has ac- cepted a position as foreman at J. C. Murray 's greenhouse and will begin work there August 1. Mr. Murray reports that the aster blight has ruined his crop of asters. Everybody is busy repairing and re- planting. B- Mr. Mason, who has been acting as foreman at the J. C. Murray green- houses for^he last two years, has moved to Kansaa^bity, where he will engage in business with a cut flower establishment of that place. One of the fiufist beds of Begonia Gloire De Lorraine that has ever come under our observation was shown us at D. U. Augspurger & Sons. The plants were all well branched and healthy- looking, with that polished, soft green leaf so peculiar to this favorite begonia. D. U. Augspurger, senior member of the firm of D. U. Augspurger & Sons, was a business caller at Bloomington, III., last week. Mr. Dysinger, representing Ionia flow- er pot manufacturers, called on the Pe- oria florists last week. J. C. Murray has planted a large bed of Boston ferns. He also has a nice looking lot of chrysanthemums. A. M. Augspurger has returned from the north, where he disposed of an im- mense lot of ferns and other plants. H. C. R. ST. LOUIS; TheMaifcet In looking over the flower market we find the supply largely exceeds the de- mand. There is little fancy stock of any kind coming in and little of this grade of stock is expected before the last of next month, especially in roses and carnations. The market is mostly made up now of asters, which are plen- tiful, and with any kind of business in funeral work should sell well, but even a lot of these are being dumped. Gladioli have been a glut and sold as low as $1 per hundred stalks in assorted colors. A fair number of roses are coming in. White and pink Cochet, at Kuehn's, are selling better than Bride and Maid. A nice lot of Killamey were seen at Bern- ing's July 27. Beauties are selling fair- ly well when good. Carnations are all to the bad at present. A fair lot of Enchantress were being looked over at Smith's July 27. Hardy hydrangeas, tuberose stalks, good valley and smilax, also a lot of outdoor truck, made up the daily market last week. In retail circles it is reported as dull all of the week. Various Notes. Leonard Herdt, one of our South Broadway florists, is traveling in Eu- rope and expects to return August 15. Edward Buechel, manager of the Ries- sen Floral Co., is known to be one of the best amateur painters in the city. Some of his water color paintings have been highly commended by lovers of art in this line. Walter Retzer, of the St. Louis Seed Co., took a northern trip for his vaca- tion. Mr. Boucker, who has quite a plant on Marcus avenue, and grows a lot of fancy carnations for the local trade, says he had a successful season and has read the Review from its first number. A. G. Greiner, our cactus grower, re- ports that he has shipped a lot of large orders for cacti this year. Souvenir postals from Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Weber, Vincent Gorley and Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Klockenkemper, who are traveling in .Europe, say they are having a great time on the other side of the big pond. Miss Clara Holtzman, of Young's, is spending a two weeks' vacation on a trip to California. Fred Williams has taken the position at Berning's vacated Ity Frank Dwyer. William C. Smith contemplates a trip to his old home at Milwaukee early next month. Now that Will Osseck is home, Mr. Smith will have more time to spare. Charles Kuehn will spend his vacation with his mother and father in Detroit. The trip will be made before or after the S. A, F. convention. George Waldbart has finished repaint- ing his place and has added to his front on the north with a store room. The front will be used for showing plants.

CHNONNATL The Market Flowers are about as scarce as they ever get at any season of the year. After the orders are filled there is not a flower left in the wholesale houses; even the smallest and those of the poorest quality find a ready sale and at good prices. Prices are averaging better than they did even in mid-season. There are no carnations. Asters are coming well, but still not nearly enough to take care of the demand. Roses from new stock are coming in and the quality is good. They sell on sight and bring good prices. Gladioli are good property and sweet peas are sought after, even though they are very short-stemmed. New green galax is on hand and there is plenty of bronze on cold storage as yet. Ferns and other green goods are in good supply and the demand is good. Various Notes. Geo. E. Tromey, who bought out W. K. Partridge's retail store last week, has sold his interest to the Bletcher Floral Co., which has already taken over the business. Mr. Bletcher was formerly in the employ of Mr. Partridge, but for the last year has been with Julius Baer.

As a result, special orders require special effort to fill them properly, and a few special or- ders will stir the placid summer season of the wholesale market into something approaching a ripple of life. Asters are much more plentiful than a week ago, but the quality of the asters grown in and near Philadelphia is not such that we like to point them out with pride to our New York cousins. A few select blooms are coming in from a dis- tance, notably of the variety Ostrich Plume, described before in this column, and the Pink Ostrich Plume, a sister sort of refreshingly lively color. Gladi- oli furnish us this week with a soft pink variety, named May, that can be had in quantity, and commands attention from the best buyers. The commoner sorts are more plentiful and lower in price. Kaiserin roses are in crop. They are very nice indeed. Killarney from down east has reappeared, a stride in advance , of the locally grown stock. Valley continues an important factor in funeral work and in choice orders, but cattleyas have decreased so mark- edly in quantity as to be unobtainable at times. Carnations, gathered from old plants still in the houses and from the young stock in the field, cannot together muster enough force to form a corporal's guard, but such as there are appear to be in demand. Of the smaller outdoor flowers, some have improved with the rain and some have not. Golden Glow has made its appearance in quantity. Water lilies continue plentiful. It is Brand-new. It was suggested to Phil that Robert Kift had a beautiful photograph of an 1 ivy cross decorated with a bunch of American Beauties tied with Beauty rib- bon. It was really worth seeing. So to Mr, Kift's shop Phil straightway re- paired, bent on seeing and securing that photograph for the benefit of the Kb- . VIEW readers. Now, Mr. Kift is him- self a writer of high renown, but Phil argued that inasmuch as Mr. Kift is a .Mention The Review when you 'write.

Mention The Review when you write. modest man, he might possess that Beauty photograph for many moons be- fore his friends knew it. Mr. Kift was cordial, and, like Barcus, willin', but there was a difficulty. The Beauty pho- tograph on the ivy cross was so firmly moored as to be unobtainable, but it often happens that when you go for one thing you get another. The great thing is to keep going, , In this case Phil, who was rambling about, heard Mr. Kift say: "It is brand-new," and saw him standing in front of a table covered with ferns in tiny conservatories, with a look of pride on his face. "Talk about them," Phil commanded, and Mr, Kift obediently ex- plained that these tiny conservatories or oval-shaped glass bowls, inverted, were intended to keep off the air and at the same time give an unobstructed view of the plant underneath. Fish bowls are somewhat similar in general appearance, but they are better suited for tiny aquariums or for partridge berry bowls, so often seen in the shops. Mr. Kift's idea is to plant a single fern in a little glass saucer made to fit the bowl, which is turned upside down on top of it. He is experimenting with the close saucer and with the saucer with air holes, as seen in a lamp, but has not yet decided which is better suited for growing pur- poses. Mr. Kift's fern bowl is very at- tractive, and seems well adapted to its purpose. The ferns were uniformly healthy and could be seen to advantage. Seashore Effects. More attention is being paid to plant- ing at the seashore resorts this season than ever before. Many of them were formerly content with a little grass plot around a few favored hotels or cottages, never dreaming of aspiring to the lux- uriance of flower and foliage seen at Newport and a few of the more fashion- able resorts. This season marks a de- cided advance in planting. I mean by this that planting, intelligent planting, is spread over a broader area than ever before, I was interested in the planting seen on a flying visit to one of the Bhode Island resorts by the sea, A col- ony of people from St, Louis had laid out a tract of ground on which they built a score of so-called shoreby cot- tages, and a club house. The planting in front of this park was composed en- tirely of Wichuraiana hybrid rosea, in several varieties, backed by Yucca fila- mentosa. Both the roses and the yucca were in full bloom the third week in July and presented a really beautiful appearance. The former were trained upright, forming a dense hedge about two and a half feet in height, which was covered with pink and white blooms*. An- other pretty feature here was the boxes covered with birch bark and filled with scarlet geraniums, used on some of the private summer houses overlooking the jetties or piers, Variotu Notes.

Eugene Bernheimer says that the Florex Gardens have the extensions to the two carnation houses completed and planted with carnations. These plants have all been bench grown, close togeth- er, and are now given their proper dis- tance for the coming season. One sec- tion of one of these smaller houses is planted with American Beauties, the idea being to propagate in this section largely from the plants now in it, a different section being used for carna- tion propagation.

I want to grow a few hundred antir- rhinums next winter and have plants in 21^-inch pots, also some in the field which have been pinched back and are large and bushy, all from seed sown in March. Can I use these, or will it be necessary to make another sowing of seed? E. C. B. The plants you have will answer well. Give those in 2^ -inch pots a shift into 4-inch. If you want an early crop of flowers and have the necessary bench space, plant them out about September 1. The plants in the field will also give you good returns. Our finest spikes have been obtained from stock lifted in this way. It is not necessary to have any ball of earth attached to these, but keep all possible roots intact. A light shade until they become established will be of assistance. The field plants, having been pinched back, will send up more shoots than you will require. Eub out all the weakest if you want first-class spikes. C.W. SWEET PEAS FOR THANKSGIVING; When should I plant sweet peas for Thanksgiving blooming? How many rows to a bench, how close together for the rows, and what kind of trellis should be used? E. E. G. To have your sweet peas in full crop for Thanksgiving, sow on ox about Au- gust 10. The rows should not be nearer than four feet apart and, if your house is high and of good width, it is better to allow five feet. If you contrive to run your rows in line with the supports of the house, a good plan is to run lines of stout twine a foot apart the length of the house and use upright strings of soft white twine.

They are grown in a cool, open and somewhat shaded house. E. P. The conditions under which your plants are growing would seem to be all right. "We have had no trouble of this sort on plants raised from seed, which is the best method of propagation, but on rooted cuttings bacteria similar to those on the specimen forwarded often appear. Plants propagated by the latter method seem to lack the vitality of seedlings. Throw away all affected stock, only retaining the most vigorous. Give the plants a moderate amount of sunlight and avoid wetting them overhead any more than is necessary. Blow some air-slaked lime over them through powder bellows, as a remedial measure. C. W.

Those who bad a surplus of longi- florums of last year's crop, and stored them, have not yet succeeded in cleaning up, but the reported shortage in larger sizes of pure Harrisii gives them re- newed hope of an early maiket. H. A. BUNTAKD, with A. T. Bodding- ton, New York, states that his firm has been advised to expect not over fifty per cent total delivery of 7 to 9 and 9 to 11 pure Harrisu; 5 to 7, Boddington's growers in Bermuda say, will be deliv- ered in full. D 'Alcorn & Sons, Portsmouth, Va., have received an order to ship 100,000 bulbs to Holland! We think this augurs well for American grown bulbs, espe- cially as many tons are also being shipped from this country to Guernsey and England, in spite of the freight being $25 per ton. The Stoecker Seed Co., Peoria, HI., has been incorporated by L. F. Stoecker, K. Stoecker, N. W. Stoecker and Ernie Nuzicker, with $30,000 authorized cap- ital stock. L. F. Stoecker has been the head of the Weber Seed Co. for the last six years. A general wholesale and re- tail business will be transacted at the old Weber headquarters, 117 south Washington street. There are varying reports as to the condition of corn in Nebraska, some say- ing it is fine and others poor. An ob- server who crossed the state says the general condition is fair, some fields being good and others spotty — too much rain for the low lands — and the crop on the average not as far along as it should dale road. The Messrs. Shelton intend to enlarge their plant-growing depart- ment, and on the newly acquired proper- ty will erect a range of glass for that purpose. They expect also to devote some space to the growing of ornamental nursery stock. ST. LOUIS SEED CO. AFFAIRS.

The cause which brought about this unfor- tunate proceeding was the fact that the corpora- tion was suddenly refused the renewal of a $3,000 note, which in the opinion of the board of directors it had a right to expect a re- newal of. It Is true that the dnU season In our business Is on now, but In prior years a large business and patronage has been enjoyed by the company during the winter and spring months, and this In connection with a small accommodation of ready cash in tlie summer months has caused our business to grow year after year, but when this refusal came to us at a time when we were unable to realize cash from other channels than the bank, we Immediately learned that some creditor became nervous and in order that no preference might accrue to any creditor the president of the corporation has as yet made no efTort to stop the proceeding In banliruptcy, and it will depend entirely upon the board of direc- tors' ability to raise ready cash in order that the petition in bankruptcy may be contested and withdrawn. You of course understand the terrific loss to any estate that falls into litigation, because everything will be sold at a sacrifice, but we assure you that we will do everything in our power primarily to see that the creditors will receive the best results if possible to again re- deem the business. On account of having enjoyed the confidence of our creditors in the past, we feel very keenly the situation in which we have been placed, but we sincerely hope that there will be a way to save the business and to adjust matters satis- factorily to all parties concerned.

Beet is nearly ready and prom- ises well. Onion is doing fairly well. Symptoms of bUght have developed in some fields, however, and the present muggy, wet weather is very apt to de- velop more blight. The crop is not yet assured, although within two weeks of harvest. DUTCH BULBS. The harvesting of tulips is completed in Holland. The bright, warm weather that marked the last days of May con- tinued all through June and, although it put a sudden end to vegetation in many bulb fields, the beneficial influ- ence of such ripening off cannot be too highly appreciated, although the number of salable bulbs will decidedly be less than last year, and the same must be expected from the hyacinth crops. Nar- cissi will also be smaller, as they ripened off too early, but they are likely to be more satisfactory in forcing. The early and thorough ripening of the bulbs, while it reduced the size of the bulbs, and also of the crop, should prove of value in improving the forcing qualities, with the result of more satis- factory results than the buyers secured last year. LILY BULBS IN ENGLAND. From reports to hand from Japan it would appear that prices will be some- what lower for Japan lilies of all classes during the coming season. The crops are reported to be good and th© disease has done hardly any damage this season. The quantity planted for stock was JCLT 30, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ ■Ts»x» 2?

Japan grower has not been long to see that is the variety to grow, and has quickly worked up larger stocks. Some of the retarders here have lately been badly bitten by keeping the com- mon eximium and multiflorum too long in cold stores, with the result that heavy losses have been made, in one or two cases as much as $5,000 to $10,000. This has taught them a lesson and there will be few of anything in future but gigan- teum kept in cold stores after June, this appearing to be the latest time at which the other types will successfully bloom after retarding, while moderate success can be had from giganteum if kept in cold stores as late as November.

Robinson Seed Co., Waterloo, Neb., wrote July 25 : Our corn crops are coming along in good shape, although original acreage has been greatly reduced by high water and continuous rains from the middle to last of June. In some of the fields on our low lands, that were severely flooded, the ground has baked very hard, and a light shower now would be beneficial. Weather conditions the last two weeks bave been very favorable, and if weather conditions continue favorable the balance of the season, and we have a late fall, I believe we will raise two-thirds of a normal crop in our vicinity. If the weather should turn hot and dry during August, I fear it will damage corn crops materially, as the crops suffered severely from 80 much wet weather early in the season that they will not be in condition to withstand a long dry spell. As to vine crops, it Is a problem, just at present, what they will do. Crops of all kinds are late; acreages have been materially reduced by rain and floods. The melon aphis is working muskmelon crops quite hard, and is making its ap- pearance within the last few days in cucumber fields as well. Farmers have been watching their fields, pulling up and burning affected vines, but as this f)e8t works on the under side of the eaves, it is almost a hopeless task to fight them, especially on a crop of any considerable acreage.

JOHNSON SEED CO., 217 Klarket St., Philadelphia, Pa. Mention The Review when you write. exaggerated, and, so far as I can gather, no great damage has been done and the crops show a fair promise. Of late years Italian grown seeds have come much to the fore on the English market, and the demand is enormously on the increase. In future years they •will no doubt be a much more serious competitor with other producing centers. As a rule they are far cheaper than those from other countries, and, though the quality a few years back left plenty of room for improvement, the strains are improving every year. In many lines the Italian specialties in vegetable seeds and many flower seeds can now compare well with those of any country in the world. I recently had brought un- der my notice a plot of aster seed ob- tained from Italy — the varieties Comet and Victoria — at the price of 18 shil- lings a pound, and they were equal in ever;^ respect to some of the highest grade German strains at four times the money. In Holland the bulb farmers are in the full swing of lifting and curing, though the lifting in some cases is finished. The crops generally are well up to the average. Daffodils are in plentiful supply and of fine quality. Spanish iris are plentiful and cheap. Gladioli, the early flowering section, have experienced a smart drop in value and can now be bought for little more than half the prices quoted at the be- ginning of the season. Hyacinths are in good supply, but the demand for these is every year getting less. They are not wanted in England and, it is reported, can be had at bargain prices in Hol- land. Generally speaking, prices for all bulbs are little below those of last year, but have no tendency to rise. The sales in England have not been so large as last year and much grumbling is heard from the travelers on their return from their spring trip. J. B. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

Pea Society 's floral committee had a full day's work July 10, inspecting over 300 trials of sweet peas at Beading, including a large number of new varieties undergoing the necessary test that qualifies for the so- ciety's awards. The committee rigor- ously excluded every variety that showed a single rogue, as well as many others that in their opinion were too much alike or did not surpass in merit existing varieties. Consequently the awards were by no means numerous. The silver medal of the society and r. C. G. were awarded to George Stark, from George Stark & Son, Great Ky- burgh; F. C. C. to Mrs. A. Ireland, from Dobbie & Co., Bothesay and Marks Tey; F. C. C. to Mrs. H. Bell, from T. Bolton, Carnforth; A. M. to Constance Oliver, from W. Lumley, Havant, and A. M. to Paradise Ivory, from H. Hemus, Upton-on-Severn. The above in the floral committee's opinion are the best five varieties of the year and the only awards that the N. S. P. S. will make. Before giving future awards the society stipulates that seed- lings must be tested at the society's trials. This insures that no awards are granted until stocks are quite fixed, and new varieties at later shows must go to the trials next year. When the floral committee had done its work a large number of N. S. P. 8. members, after being hospitably enter- tained at lunch by Leonard Sutton, of the firm of Sutton & Sons, spent a few hours among tbe trials, taking notes. A deputation of Hungarian -agricul- turists visited a number of the leading seed growing farms in Essex, England, recently, and were greatly impressed by the rigorous methods adopted to insure purity of stocks. Sweet peas are exten- sively grown in Essex, and a large party of the N. S. P. S. members visited the fields of Hurst & Son and Dobbie & Co., in Essex, July 11. The crops of sweet pea seed are not anticipated to be quite so short as at one time expected. Eain came just in time to save the situation. Of course, all depends on the harvesting, but grow- ers at one time saw no prospect's of any weight of seed to harvest. On the other hand, culinary peas have finished off and the crop is below average. G. W. Kerr, a son of the late William Kerr, Dumfries, Scotland, a well-known grower of many good potatoes, has left our shores and settled down with W. Atlee Burpee & Co. at Fordhook. For some years he was with Dobbie & Co., and later he managed the extensive nur- sery grounds of Baher's, Wolverhamp- ton, where sweet peas, dahlias, pansies, violas, etc., are grown on a large scale. Hugh Low & Co., Bush Hill Park, Middlesex, received an award of merit from the E. H. S. July 7, for a new hybrid fruit obtained by crossing the loganberry and blackberry.

Florists' Review When Wrltlnsr Advertisers ^^ 42 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Jolt 30, 1908. PACIFIC COAST. Tacoma, Wash. — The new conserva- tory in Wright park is now completed. The central section, 20x25 feet, is sur- mounted by a dome, and there are two wings, each 20x50. The erection of this conservatory is due to the generosity of W. W. Seymour, a capitalist, who gave $10,000 for the beautifying of the city. COMPULSORY TREE TRIMMING. A town in the vicinity of San Fran- cisco has passed an ordinance making it obligatory on the part of property own- ers to keep sidewalk trees trimmed off to within twelve feet of the ground. The plea has been made that fire engines have been unable to navigate along many streets owing to the overhanging branch- es. The fact that this town has many miles of sidewalk trees that will be af- fected by this ordinance, and their butchered appearance when altered after the trees have been allowed to grow nat- urally for years, shows the evil results of non-systematic planting and pruning. If trees are allowed to spread too much at the expense of their center- growth when they are young and can be easily trained, a grave mistake is made. A tree that has put all its vigor into lateral branches will after a time show no inclination to fill in with easily trained growths, and when, as in the present case, it becomes necessary to cut large and heavy branches off, it is usu- ally no longer possible to get the trees back into symmetrical shape again. By proper pruning our largest trees can be kept at any desired height or form for an almost indefinite time. The writer has on his grounds a cypress hedge (Cupressus macrocarpa), which, though growing in the present location for forty-seven years, is only four feet high and two feet through. Directly across the street are two specimen trees of the same variety, twelve years of age, that are forty-five feet high and thirty feet spread at the base. The carelessness shown in the treat- ment of sidewalk trees is deplorable, and what should be an object of beauty is more often a subject for ridicule or censure. Uniformity and the suitability of the various growths to the subject at hand are rarely taken into consideration by the general planter, and here the prac- tical gardener and the landscape archi- tect have a splendid chance to display their knowledge to the greatest advan- tage, for by the use of trees on the pub- lic highways the visitor is often im- pressed more than by the well kept lawns or masses of private shrubbery. G. SAN FRANdSCX). The Market Business is about in the same condi- tion as it has been for the last month. There is practically nothing doing ex- cept funeral work. Flowers, with the exception of fancy roses, are overplenti- ful. Long-stemmed sweet peas, how- ever, have not been in oversupply for the last two weeks, but there are quantities of short-stemmed stock offered at any price. Carnations are of better quality than those usually seen here in the middle of the summer, but the prices asked are Half Million Calla Bulbs Circumference Per 100 1000 CalUAethlopieaBalbs, 7to 8-incb... $11.00 $100.00 5 to 7-inch 8.00 76.00 3 to 4i2-inch....3.00 26.00 260 at 1000 rate.

Short-stemmed roses can be had at any price oflfered. Valley moves slowly and there have been sev- eral big batches of it brought into town during the last week. Lilies of all kinds are in fair demand, and the prices re- ceived are better than they were a week or two ago. Other kinds of outside stock are not worth mentioning, there is so little being used. Over in Alameda county the retailers seem to be doing a fair share of busi- ness. Funeral work has been good, owing to the fact that there were several deaths among prominent people during the last week. The weather continues to be too cool to be comfortable in the mornings and evenings, but during the middle of the day is very pleasant. Various Notes. The Marin County Horticultural So- ciety will give a chrysanthemum exhibi- tion at San Bafael in October. William Walters, the well-known land- scape gardener of San Bafael, has just recovered from a severe illness. John Martin, of Ross Station, has re- ceived a large consignment of orchids from several eastern growers within the last week. It is the intention to devote the greenhouses principally to this ar- ticle in the future. Albert Galloway, a prominent carna- tion grower of Fruitvale, Cal., died July 12. Further particulars concerning him are given in this week's obituary column. G.

Sages, Maids and Brides from young stock are the best in the market. The recent heavy rains spoiled many asters, but we expect to see plenty of good ones coming in from now on. Carnation growers have started plant- ing and, as this has been an excellent growing season, field plants are in fine shape. The S. A. F. G)nventioiu The S. A. F. convention is the main topic of conversation these days, for, in the absence of a local florists' club at Niagara Falls, the members of the Buf- falo Florists' Club are doing all in their power to make the convention a suc- cess. All indications point to a record-break- ing attendance. The natural wonders of Niagara, combined with the wonders there created by man, make it the Mecca of the world's travelers. When the S. A. F. chooses it as its meeting place, why should not the spasmodic conven- tion attendant choose this as his year to attend? And we hope he will. Pass- ing over the international bridge and watching the water, boiling and rushing by beneath you, is not seeing Niagara. To be impressed with its full grandeur you must see it all, not once but sev- eral times, and each time you will be more fully impressed with the wonder of it all. And so I say, brother florist, if there is a doubt in your mind as to whether you should finish planting your carna- tions, complete that bouse you are build- ing or attend the florists' convention, choose the latter, for a few days at Ni- agara Falls will fill you with inspira- tion and energy, more than enough to make up for the few days of manual labor you fear to lose. The sports committee of the local club, consisting of Messrs. McClure, Cloudsley and Slattery, has secured the Palace alleys, the finest in this part of the state, in which to hold the S. A.

L. Yates, Kocbester, N. Y. The 34th annual convention Mrill be held at Ro- chester, June, 1909. A NEW nursery firm has begun busi- ness in Monroe, Mich., with Cormac J. McCormiek as the general manager. It is said that the organization is backed by ample capital and is sure to succeed. Mr. McCormiek was with the Greening Nursery Co., of Monroe, for ten years, and was also editor of the Horticulturist. C. E. Snydee, of Preston, Minn., is not exactly building a five-story office, but it stands nearly as high as most of the city skyscrapers, owing to its location opposite his residence on Summit avenue overlooking his nursery grounds and with a fine view of the surrounding country. His growing business makes an office im- perative and it is thought that the time is not far distant when he will erect some extensive greenhouses as well. OKLAHOMIANS MEET. The Oklahoma Nurserymen's Associa- tion met at the Chamber of Commerce, Oklahoma City, July 28. This was the regular summer meeting of the associa- tion. The objects of the organization are educational, fraternal and protective, and it invites the membership of all nur- serymen in the state. The program of the convention was as follows: Opening address by the president. Report of secretary and treasurer. Gleanings from the National Association, J. A. Loperaan, Enid. _ .

After a litigation extending over a year and a half and involving the larg- est estate which has ever figured in a contest in Surrogate Court in Monroe County, New York, Helen C. and Mar- garet EUwanger have won their title to a large share in the estate of their grandfather, George EUwanger, the well- known pioneer nurseryman, of Rochester, who left an estate of several million dol- lars. Surrogate Selden S. Brown has denied probate to the second codicil of the EU- wanger will, which cut the two grand- children off with a small portion of the estate and gave the greater part of it to the two sons of the testator. He sus- tains the original will and the first codicil. "i- As the result of Surrogate Brown's decision, Helen and Margaret EUwanger will each receive about $250,000, in- stead of about $30,000, which would have been theirs had the codicil been admitted to probate. The shares of George H. EUwanger and William D. EUwanger wUl be correspondingly re- duced. Surrogate Brown sustains both the contentions of the contestants, that George EUwanger was of unsound mind when he added the second codicil to the wiU and that he was influenced in cut- ROSES Two years field-grown.

Twenty-eight contiguous plats, ranging from one to six square rods each, were planted several years ago with fonr varieties of approved bas- ket willows, to determine the best meth- od of management and its influence on the gn'owth and quality of the rods pro- duced. Experiments show that the commercial quality of the rods grown in this coun- try under proper care and management is equal or superior to the finest of those imported from France or Germany.

The experimental planting in the holt at Arlington has proved that close spac- ing in and between the rows is a matter of paramount importance to basket wil- low growers. The tests on close and wide spacing were made by setting the cuttings at distances of six inches apart in the row by eighteen inches between the rows, 9x21 inches, and 12x36 inches. The form and quality of the rods pro- duced under these different systems of spacing show decidedly the advantage of close planting. The American green willow, SaUx amygdalina, and three other varieties of approved basket willows, were ' employed in the tests. The results of the experiments will be published by the Forest Service for the benefit of those interested in basket wil- low culture. This publication, entitled "Eecent Practical Results in Basket Willow Culture," will be available soon for free distribution and will be mailed upon request to the Forester at "Wash- ington. The experimental holt at Ar- hngton will be considerably enlarged this year by planting cuttings obtained from Europe. Cuttings of a great many test- ed varieties of European basket willows have been bought from European grow- ers in order to increase the number suit- able for cultivation in this country. TOLEDO, OHIO. State of Trade. Conditions have varied somewhat from last week's report. "With few excep- tions the larger florists have been busy, while the smaller dealers received but a limited amount of work. Home-grown flowers are used almost exclusively, the shipments from outside being light. "What stock is received, in the way of roses, has been of good quality. There have been more asters, and of better quality, than have been seen for some years. Many of the florists have shipped asters in large quantities, According to local dealers, the seed business is improving at this time. * Various Notes.

I have an asparagus bed alongside my greenhouse and I want to put up an- other house where that is this sum- mer. Would it do to take up the plants and set in another place now? L. G. P. You cannot move the asparagus now. If carefully transplanted, many of them may live, but they will never amount to anything. You will do far better to plant out fine young, two-year-old plants next spring. If you build over the bed this fall you may cut considerable asparagus from under the benches this winter, which will sell for good prices. H. G. ONIONS FROM SETS. Can you tell me how to grow green onions from sets under glass, and if the soil from the onion beds can be used, mixed with other soil, for repotting ge- raniums, etc.? On account of my hot water system having to be relaid, the regular mum beds will be idle for some time yet, making it too late for mums at all this year. C. E. A. Use compost containing a good pro- portion of well decayed barnyard ma- nure; plant in rows nine inches apart, giving the sets two inches of space in the rows. If you can stir between the rows with a hand-weeder, you might run them even closer. As you are going to pull these green, the space named will be sufficient; if left to make bulbs, a foot apart in the rows and four inches between the seeds would be better. There would be no special advantage in starting these before January. A cool house, 40 to 45 degrees at night, will answer. While the old soil from the onion beds could be used for geraniums, we would prefer to use fresh loam for them. It is generally assumed that "any old soil" will grow geraniums, but if you want good ones use fresh compost. The soil in question could be used for another bench crop, with the addition of some manure or fertilizer. C. W. BALTIMORE. The Market Business is at a low ebb. There are few good flowers, but enough for all demands, there being so little doing. We are having extremely hot weather just now, the thermometer reaching 96 de- gieea in the shade. We have just been visited by a heavy rain storm, the first good rain since May 23. All outdoor stook that could not be reached with the hose has suffered severely, both flowers and vegetables. The summer flight of our population has taken place, and block after block of houses give no sign of being inhab- ited. Some of the uptown stores have closed entirely for the dull season, and others adopt shorter hours. Except for funeral work and the supply for the hospitals, the demands are light in every branch of the trade. Among the growers, naturally, every- body is up to his eyes in work, and planting as a rule is pretty well ad- vanced. There seems to be less building than usual this year.

The park board has just had finished two new walks in Druid Hill park. They are about one mile long and were badly needed since we have had so many auto- mobiles in the parks. The visitors had to use the driveway or else walk on the grass. The mounted police in the park have all been furnished with motor- cycles instead of horses. The Charles street boulevard has just been opened to traffic after nearly one year and a half of grading and ma- cadamizing. It is about 150 feet wide, with three driveways and with grass plots the entire length, which is nearly one mile and a half. There are quite a lot of the Baltimore florists going to the convention. H. J. Quick has just finished a new propagating house, 14x60. Halliday Bros, have a fine lot of hardy phlox. Boland Bolgiano, of the well-known seed firm of J. Bolgiano & Son, was operated on for appendicitis. The opera- tion proved successful and he expects to be out in a few days.

Variotis Notes. At the present time the most popular topic for discussion among the^ florists is the coming convention at Niagara Falls, and quite a number of our florists are planning to attend. The Dayton Lighting Co. had an opening July 25 and gave a reception to the public, each visitor being pre- sented with a rose as a souvenir. In Dayton flowers are given away exten- sively as souvenirs, and this idea seems to be well taken by the public. July 23 there was a baby show in this city, in which different contests were ar- ranged and prizes awarded. The baby cab decorated by Mrs. Bertha Hendricks captured the first prize. Arthur Avard, of New York City, is a guest at the home of George Bartholo- mew. Everett Brubaker, of West Alexan- dria, O., a former employee of the Mi- ami Floral Co., left July 25 for his vaca- tion, which he intends to spend in Can- ada and the Bocky Mountains. B. A. B.

The Miller Floral Co. has been formed at East Brookfield, for the purpose of building very extensive greenhouses at Salt Lake City, Utah, under the direc- tion of Robert Miller, who formerly con- ducted greenhouses at East Brookfield. The oflBcers named are Eobert Miller, president and manager; Warren E. Tar- bell, vice-president; Eugene W. Eeed, of North Brookfield, secretary; George R. Hamant, treasurer. There are 2,500 shares of preferred stock to be issued at $10 a share. The business is to be the growing of roses, for which Utah has an ideal cUmate the whole year around. Salt Lake City is one of the fastest growing cities of the great new west. Mr. Miller looked over the ground thor- oughly and is satisfied that it is just the place in which to start a growing busi- ness, which would have practically no limitations. Mr. Welch, of Boston, is named as one of the directors. VAYSIDE NOTES. Valentine Burgevin's Sons, Kingston, N. Y., have one of the prettiest show places on the Hudson river. The ap- proach to the houses is laid out in park- like arrangement, with a lily pond and fancy designs in carpet bedding. They have done much to educate the public taste, by making a continuous display both at the greenhouses and at their handsome store, and they attribute their great success chiefly to this fact. W. Saltford & Sons, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., are adding one house, 24x150, for smilax and sweet peas. Mitchell is the builder and he reports good business along the line. Chrysanthemum Polly Kose is planted between the houses here and covered at night in case of early frosts. Usually a crop is cut before plants inside are ready. Mr. Saltford has been strongly tempted to try violets again. Marie Louise brought him both reputation and opulence. John A. Ruppert, of the Henry A. Dreer Co., was a recent visitor at New- burgh, N. Y., booming the annual con- vention, which he says will be a record breaker. R. Harry Cathcart, Jr., of the Yuess Gardens Co., at Newburgh, says the demand for palms is again on the in- crease. George -Cranshaw, of Newburgh, has a white aster that blooms early in June, an improvement on Queen of the Mar- ket. He has his mums planted. He may be one of the delegates to the Falls. The Schaefer Co., Inc., of Newburgh, does much local advertising and attrib- utes much of its success to this. M. Beloit, Wis.— John Rindfleisch will open a store in his building on East Grand avenue, opposite the Baptist church. The building has been remod- eled and has a handsome new front, with the store on the first floor and liv- ing rooms above. The exterior is of rough pebble finish.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 51 A Wonderful New Nephroiepis Nephrolepis Superbissima Introduction of 1908 We desire to call attention to this new fern, which originated with us and which we are introducing this year. It is a very unique and distinct novelty— as distinct from Nephrolepis Piersoni and Piersoni elegantissima as they were from Bostoniensis. It is, in fact, a complete break. The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnte over- lapping, making the fronds very dense and compact. It differs from the other Nephrolepis not only in form, but also in color, being a richer and darker green- entirely different from the yellowish green of all the other Nephrolepis. The plant is very sturdy in its habit, the fronds never breaking down. While a photograph shows a similarity to its predecessors, it is absolutely distinct, not only in the formation of the fronds and color, but also in its habit and general characteristics. It makes a much more dwarf and compact growth, the fronds being very dense, firm and rigid, and having a great deal more substance, so that it will stand more knocking around than any other fern of this type. It is a sterling novelty. Experts who have seen it consider it by far the best fern ever sent out. It is a plant that needs to be seen to have its great value and sterling qualities appreciated. It really is not in the same class with the other varieties. It was awarded a rirSt=Clfl.SS L^CrilllCd.XC by the Royal Horticultural Society at Crystal Palace in London, November, 1908, the plants exhibited there having been shipped from New York two weeks before that time. After being exhibited in London, the same plants were shipped to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they were again awarded a FIrst-clasa Certificate by the Scottish Horticultural Society. This will indicate the value of the plant as a novelty, and also demonstrates in a very conclusive manner its- fine keeping and shipping qualities. We have just begun shipping advance orders, and new orders can now be shipped immediately on receipt. Do not fail to see our exhibit at the S. A. F.

The Birmingham Florists' Society left in a special car July 22 for West Lake, near Bessemer, where the members held their annual outing and barbecue. President C. C. Thach, of Auburn Insti- tute, was present and made an address. Florists from Mpntgomery and other parts of the state also attended. The West Lakes, near Bessemer, are ideal picnic grounds and fine fishing and a good time are always in store for those who go there.

The Market. The weather continues uncomfortably warm, and the lack of rain is beginning to make itself felt. Eoses run about equal to the demand, but Brides and Maids are badly mildewed. Carnations are scarce and poor, and asters are tak- ing their place rapidly. Lilies continue to come into the market. The demand has been good for these, as there were a number of funerals in town last month. Beauties are not to be had in town, and orchids are scarce. Various Notes. A number of the florists are talking about taking in the convention at Ni- agara Falls, but it is not quite decided yet just who will go. Eice Bros, find business excellent, with stock about equal to the demand, but not enough carnations. E. Nagel & Co. are again making ex- tensive repairs on their plant this sum- mer, reglazing and rebuilding the houses' not repaired last year. H. Barsch is building over his houses, and has built a small new house. Visitors: J. F. Wilcox, Council Bluffs, la.: D. U. Augspurger, Peoria, HI. M. E. M. GOSHEN, IND. The Colonial Flower Shop moved July 20 to its future home in the new brick building at the corner of Jefferson and Main streets. The building is one of the most artistic in the city. As befits the name of the establishment, both the exterior and interior carry out the colo- nial idea, the colors in decorating being yellow and white, while the ceiling is paneled in mission design. The ice-box has been rebuilt, having a show win- dow in the center, with plate glass mir- rors on the top and sides. Mission fur- niture will be used and new white show cases will be installed. A basement the size of the building is used for sup- plies and the heating plant for the store and conservatory. Miss Dora Brown, the proprietor, is expecting a carload of material from Chicago for the new conservatory, to b© built just south of the new building as soon as the old store is removed. Corning, N.

For the last fortnight we have had plenty of rain, •which was much appre- ciated, as previous to that everything was beginning to dry up in the intense heat. It registered 102 degrees one afternoon. Flowers are scarce and the few that are on the market are not very good. Asters of all colors are to the fore, sell- ing at 50 cents and 75 cents. Business is quiet. Various Notes. The Gardeners' and Florists' Club held its nineteenth annual picnic on Wednesday, July 29, at Highgate Springs. A fine program of sports had been arranged. The various judges for the garden competitions have been busy the last week, and many fine places are entered this year. Miss Carmichael has returned from a short visit to the Quebec tercentenary. Miss Bodderick, of P. McKenna & Sons, returned this week from an ex- tended visit to Ottawa. Mrs. T. White, of St. James street, spent a week in Toronto recently. F. C. Smith left last week with Sir Wm. Van Home for St. Andrews. Miss Bennett has returned from Que- bec and Thetford, where she has been for some time. Tommy. Berlin, Conn. — A. A." Weldon has sold his greenhouses to Leland Gwatkin and. John Canfield. FiNDLAY, O. — E. E. Barnd has re- turned from Texas and has entered the employ of J. J. Waaland. He was for- merly in the business here. Spencer, Ind. — E. T. Barnes, of Barnes' Dahlia Gardens, has ten acres of dahlias for cut flowers coming along nicely. He also has a nice lot of late asters which he expects to bloom after the great bulk of asters is gone. Bradford, Pa. — J. W. Leasure, of South Bradford Farm, is preparing to put in a cement counter on one side of the store and a cement terrace on the other side, running the entire length of the store, for palms and ferns; also to extend the skylight so as to make the store perfectly light. He expects to ex- pend nearly $1,000 on these improve- ments. At the farm they are erecting a new house, 20x52, to be used for hydran- geas and propagating.

Brethren : There has been a movement on foot, for sev- eral years, among the growers of that "Queen" of summer t>eddlng plants, the canna. among those who are members of the Society of Amer- ican Florists and Ornamental Hortlcultarista. I am only in the business on a large place for the pleasure that there is in It, and do not sell, and for that reason I have not favored a canna organization. I now think the time has come that a National Canna Society should be organ- ized, and I hope that all the growers wUf be at the convention at the Falls, so there can be an exchange of opinions.

Please give me information as to the size of boiler required to heat the fol- lowing greenhouses, in the climate of southern Ontario: One house 21x100, one house 18x100, and one house 20x60. The houses measure six feet to the plate and twelve feet six inches to the ridge. Our present boiler is thirty-six inches by nine feet eight inches and contains thirty-four 3-inch tubes. It did the work for the two 100-foot houses. We have added the 60-foot house and would like your opinion. The 60-foot house will be used for cucumbers and will require a temperature of 65 degrees. If the pres- ent boiler is not large enough, how large a boiler would you advise putting in! Kindly state the size of grate surface re- quired in either case, for steam heat. H. E. B. Your present boiler should, when working under full capacity with water at 180 degrees, heat all three of the houses to 70 degrees during zero weather. If the 100-foot houses are safe at 60 degrees, as the cucumber house will be, the boirer should have capacity enough, but there is no factor of safety allowed. Everyti^ng is figured at full capacity. In adding to the plant, the future glass area will in large measure determine the plans for increased boiler capacity. L. C. C. DEPENDS ON THfe PIPES. I shall appreciate a little information through your valuable paper, about my heating plant. I have a large, nine-sec- tion Ideal steam boiler which I have been using two seasons to good advan- tage with hot water, as I cannot stand the pressure of staying up nights, firing up, and as yet cannot aflford a fireman. I have one house 40x60 feet, one 16x40 feet, one 10x45 feet, and I want to change from hot water to steam, using natural gas for fuel. I do not want to disturb my heating pipes. Can I use the same system! I have been told here in Pittsburg, if water works, so will steam. Any information you can give, as to what I must do in making the change, will be fully appreciated. G. J. L. It is impossible to answer your ques- tion in a satisfactory way because you fail to state the size of the pipes you are at present using in your greenhouses. If the houses are piped for hot water, and you have suflBcicnt radiation to hold the temperature desired during cold weather, the chances are that you have too many GET WISE to the fact you will by Installingr Tlie Martin Rocldns Grate.

If you lack radiation during cold spells the chances are that you can best run on hot water during mild weather and convert to steam for cold spells, thus increasing the capac- ity of your plant without materially mod- ifying it.

The Plumbers' Trade Journal keeps an eye ^en for new ideas in the heat- ing line and has discovered a new point in a boiler the Lord & Burnham Co. has just put on the market, which it de- scribes as follows: "One of the latest boilers placed on the market is a new Burnham sectional- round boiler, a product of the Lord & Burnham Co., of Irvington, N. Y., which is described by them as a combination of the available strong points of the Burnham one-piece round and the Burn- ham vertical sectional. ' ' There are several noteworthy fea- tures about this new boiler, which is of the push nipple type, which are put for- ward by the manufacturers: (1) Its three sections can be extended to four or five; (2) tie bolts on the outside, easy THE KROESCHELL BOILER NOT CAST IRON HAS WBTEB FRONT SIDES TOP BACK Mew Catalogue and prices on application.

"The great success of their Burnham vertical sectional boiler prompted them to incorporate in this new boiler some of its economy principles, the keynote of which is the direct fire surfaces formed by the deep fire channels running across the boiler. There are no water legs, drop tubes or arms extending into the combustion chamber of great depth, which extends from the grate to the in- side limit of the top channel. This ar- rangement permits of deep firing and the consequent carrying of a fire a long time without attention, as well as the economy in coal consumption resulting from same. The indirect fire surfaces formed by the sections above the com- bustion chamber section are so arranged that the gases must travel back and forth, completely across the boiler, thus adding greatly to the positive eflSciency. In the dome of the steam boiler is placed a baffle plate above the water line and directly under the steam outlet, which prevents the water going over into the steam outlets." THE PLUMBER SPOILED THE JOB. We had trouble heating our green- houses last winter. We had a plumber pipe the houses. He said he knew liow they should be piped, but he made a botch of it. for it does not heat. He put in a gravity steam system,. with his main return below water line in the boiler. Our boiler is twelve feet long, with thirty-two 3-inch return flues and a grate 46x50 inches. We have four houses, three of them 18x170 feet and one 20x84 feet. The houses are six feet to the eave and twelve feet to the ridge. Our beds are solid concrete beds. The houses run east and west and are well sheltered on the north side and west end. The boiler has two 6-inch outgoing taps and two 5 inch return taps. We should like to heat the houses to 50 or 60 degrees iu zero weather, in this Illinois climate. We grow only cool plants. S. E. L. Each of tlio 170-foot houses should be equipped witli u 3-inch flow under the ridge, returning by twelve li4inch re- turns. The 84-foot house can be handled with a 2 1^; -inch flow pipe and fifteen 'Tis true— we told Meyer and Meyer told you.^ F.W.MEYER, Riverside ireunhousks, Box 1, R, F. D. 1. Kalamazoo, Mich., 7-7-08.

The main returns, if long, can be made three or four inches in diam- eter and used as a water-leg to seal the system, but the greater the difference in level between the water-leg and the heat- ing returns the better. The water-log can bo carried on the level of the bottom of the shell of the boiler, if desired, and be satisfactory. Without a good differ- ence between the level of the heating re- turns and the water in the boiler, diffi- culty will le experienced, but the water- leg will help to overcome it to some ex- tent. L.

Florists' Picnic The picnic given by the Indianapolis florists at Germania park, July 23, was a gfreat success and was much enjoyed by all present. Kaces, baseball, dancing and bowling kept all amused till late. The ball game brought many shining lights who had been keeping their light hid under a bushel. Those who deserve special mention are Homer Wiegand, Otto Laurenze and Walter Hanson, for home runs made when some were badly needed. H. Wiegand also made a grand- stand catch and was able to make a double with the aid of Sydney Smith. Both batteries worked overtime. The catchers cannot be excelled and the pitch- ers had everything a good pitcher should have. The line-up of the team was as follows : North side. South Side. Barl Sellars P H.

He anticipates a fine busi- ness the coming season and is well pre- pared for it. A. Wiegand & Sons are building a new conservatory adjoining their store, in- stead of the old structure, which has been in place for several years. The new building is of iron construction and strictly up-to-date, and will be lighted by electricity. Baur & Smith have finished benching their carnations, the plants being in fine condition.

There was a great deal of funeral work here last week. The call for flow- ers was mostly in whites. These were scarce, as the carnations hereabouts have been thrown out and the recent hot, dry spell has not been very beneficial to asters outdoors. As a result it is pretty hard to fill all orders. Not many of the growers have commenced to plant carnations inside yet, but the next two or three weeks will see them hard at work on this job. Carnations bring 3.5 cents per dozen retail; the same also with asters. Roses are quite poor; $1 and $1.50 per dozen retail is the price asked. There are plenty of sw^eet peas to be had now; they sell at almost any price, but the general retail price is 50 cents per hun- dred. Variotss Notes. R. H. Woodhouse is making great changes at his place. He is tearing down two old houses and making them into one big house. A. B. Hathaway has a nice stock of Boston and Whitman! ferns, which will be fine for the fall trade. Napoleon Lemay, the Hillman street florist, was away in New York last week. He has recently taken a new partner into the firm. The same policy will be ad- hered to — quick sales, low prices and small profits. E. Y. Peirce is cutting some Boston Market carnations, which are fine for this time of the year. We had some good, heavy rains last week, and vegetation is once more look- ing nice and green. W. L. NEGAUNEE, MICH. The new range of houses for the Cleveland Cliffs Co. will soon be ready for use. The framework of the five main houses has been completed and good progress has been made in con- structing the benches. Another house, which will be used for palms, is also well under way. The boiler has been received and will be installed within a week or two. It has not yet been decided what dis- position will be made of the old green- houses, but it is likely that they will be torn down, as much of the framework is in poor condition. If it were possible to retain the buildings without extensive repairs, they would probably be used for forcing vegetables. SIEBERT'S ZINC NEVER-RUST GIast Forever. Over 30.000 pounds now in use.

'VI The Window, Do you find finger prints and hand marks on the outside of your Avindow ylass? Till then, when yon see the chil- dren stopping and self -forgetfully study- ing your display, you may conclude that you have some improvement yet to make. After that the grown-ups will begin to take notice and mark your window as one of the beauty spots of the locality. It is the best advertising in the world. There is no fraternity, family or so- doty puU like unto it. To have a good window display there iinust be a good window, which is to say, sensible, plain ground and fittings. Es- chew all flowered or scenic panels on walls. Permit no fantastic coloring any- where. Have no permanent back to the win- «ilow. Occasionally your window decora- tion will call for something of the kind, ibut it can be manufactured or secured for the time being. Ordinarily the at- Jowsphere is all that ia needed. Let any necessary woodwork in the aide walls be of a retiring color, such as will never be in the least conspicuous when the decoration is in. The whole is to be a picture, with its central point, setting and frame, and any feature which interferes with its perfection must be considered foreign. • As was so emphatically stated in the first of this series of articles, the wood- work and permanent decoration of the window must be a continuation of that used in the store room. Relative Size of Window. Some question might arise as to the relative size of the window to the store room. There is but one answer — make it as large as possible, the ceiling as high as possible, the floor as low as possible, and as plain as possible. If the space is not as large as is desired, add to the apparent size with a mirror at one or both sides. One large window with a side entrance is much better than two windows with a door between. •A large window does not necessarily demand an immense outlay of stock for display. Vacancies and atmospheric ef- fects are worth their proportion of high rents. If anyone should inquire what part of the florists' equipment is the In accordance with the size and spa- ciousness of the window, let the glass be perfect and clear, and kept scrupu- lously clean. Have electric lights so ar- ranged as to be able to carry a wire to any part of the window in such a way that the observer cannot trace its course. The Window Floor. We are now ready to consider the floor and its coverings — also a matter of prime importance; so important, in- deed, that we would better amend and say floors, instead of floor, for one needs not only dry, but wet windows, prohibi- tion or non-prohibition. In order to gain variety, introduce a water window occasionally, in spring or summer. To carry out this idea satis- '!•'• The Broken Circle. permitted unless it is placed well above the eye line. Leave space for a high decoration occasionally. No sign should appear in front of any part of itj nei- ther should a chandelier be allowed to ex- tend into the display space. factorily, one needs a cement basin, an inlet for the water and a drainage pipe. All this sounds more expensive than it really is. Two men's time in as many dull days of summer will complete the job. Let the cement basin be twelve or ■ ^' , zl^-fr:y > ■jr'xrvti^V'-M'.r.'v'w^.'^vzr^ The Weekly Florists^ Review. August 6, 1908. eighteen inches below the lower edge of the glass and slightly lower in the cen- ter, where the drainage pipe should be set. The original floor of the window can be replaced in sections over the cement floor up to the edge of the glass, and when the inspiration comes for a cool pond, waterfall or running brook — presto, you are ready to set in the gravel, rocks and other paraphernalia, for any one of a great variety of attractive little scenes. Another advantage of the additional cement floor in the window is the pro- vision it makes for drainage when water- ing potted plants in the window with a hose, and general cleaning may be freely done and self-drained. Covering the Window Floor. Providing a lasting and suitable cover- ing for the floor of the window is no easy matter. Plant pots and dampness soon wear and rot out anything that does not possess cast-iron qualities. Too much expense on one material does not appeal to one as prudent. A non-removable fixture is certainly not altogether desirable, as with dif- ferent kinds of displays various grounds are called for. We see them of tile, glazed brick, inlaid wood, linoleum, ce- ment, or plain flooring painted or stained. Most of these are good as far as they go, but they do not go far enough. Now you can use the perma- nent background, and again your style of arrangement requires soft, felty back- ground. While, of course, the soft ground may be built over the hard one, the hard surface should at least be built in removable sections. One good, everyday covering for the window floor, recently seen, was of soft, neutral, olive green linoleum. It is one of the ideal ones, inconspicuous, soft, thick-looking and easily cleaned, removed and replaced. As with all other flxtures about the store, all kinds of advantages will be found in having these window furnishings removable. Having discussed the finishing and equipping of the display window minute^ ly, in our next article we will 8uggest| some designs for a vdndow thus con- veniently arranged. Gertrude Blair. NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING. Some Notes on Giuse and Effect. Did you ever stop to think about it! Who pays for the advertising of mer- chants and other business men? Not the customer, because he buys cheaper from the one who advertises, and has a better assortment and fresher stock to choose from. Who, then, really pays the advertis- ing bills? Why, the non-advertiser, of course. A just proportion of the money he loses through his lack of initiative and enterprise, eventually finds^ts way to the printer, to advance the cause of edu- cation and the interests of the com- munity. Who pays for the advertising which attracts the people from your town to the near-by cities? The non-advertiser not only loses that business, but in that loss pays for the other fellow's advertising. Plain, isn't it? Just remember this fact, that the peo- ple in your town are going to spend just about so much money within the next twelve months, and the best way to secure your portion of this sum of money is to reach out for it through persistent advertising. A Oop of Wishes. The man who sits back and just wishes for business is surely enough going to get "wishes" in return, for his future success — and they don't go at the bank. Advertising points the way. And advertising is simply the power to persuade the people to spend their money for your goods instead of for the other fellow's. Now, if you will regularly tell these people what you havfe to sell, some of them will buy of you. If you will cordially invite them, more of them will buy of you. But if you per- suade;— really and truly persuade — most of them will buy of you. .;'. So the problem confronting you is : How can you persuade the people to» buy your goods ? As advertising is the means, the ques- . tion now arises: How and when to ad- vertise? The latter. part of this ques- tion can best be answered in the simple statepient, "Advertise persistently and with judgment." In other words, spasmodic advertising is neither profitable nor atdvantageous. In this connection I will cite a per- sonally observed case. Two Methods^ of Advertising. Two florists — one advertised, using quarter, half and full page ads, which appeared every once in a while, with a rather lengthy quietus between each ut- terance. The other used a small, but attractive and well written ad, changed weekly and run continuously. The latter believed in the steady pull. Every ad — and there were many — was a strong link which he forged into a chain of confidence that pulled the bnsi- ness to his store — this in spite of a less advantageous location. But the former used the spasmodic, jerky variety, and as advertising does; not jerk, but invariably pulls, the encJi of the season showed that the' "steady one" was figuring his decided gains, andl the "occasional advertiser" was deeply concerned with the falling off in busi- ness. If you can't advertise with some de- gree of continuity, don't make the start. Remember, it is the continuous drop- A Touch of Summer Carii^ into your home on the deli- cate petals of our hot house flowers.

In answering the question, "How to Advertise!" let it be understood that there can be no hard and fast rules gov- erning the making of business-getting print. It can't be measured with a yardstick. However, there are certain known ingre- dients possessed by all successful adver- tising. A CareftiUy Laid Plan. First of all, there must be a definite plan. Successful advertising does not just happen. It is the result of carefully thought out and well executed plans. Quality must necessarily precede quan- tity. If both can be had, so much the better. The man who has to dig for every word that goes into his ad turns out a much more readable product than the fellow who can grind it out by the yard. Be careful that you don't crowd too much matter into your space. Leave off the frills and the trimmings — and don't talk over your readers' heads. Plain, common-sense talk is the desired kind. Be sensible if you want sensible people to read your ads. Simple language is easily understood by everybody. Don't ruin the effect of the entire space with such incongruous headings as "We are It," "We have the goods," "Sizl" "Boom!" "Bah!" and such other meaningless nonsense. Drop the ' ' We ' ' habit in writing your ads— "We this" and "We that." Get the "You" habit. It is much better. There is no person we are interested in quite so much as ourselves. It is much more agreeable to be saluted as a "you" than a "we." Avoid demanding business. Don't im- press people with the idea that you think they are under obligations to buy from you. Solicit patronage in a courteous, busi- ness-like way. A request is tenfold more powerful than a command. Don't talk price^talk quality. There are plenty of people who would rather buy a good article than a cheap one. Time to Awake* There is an awakening among the re- tail florists to the realization tBat a bet- ter and more up-to-date plan of adver- tising is now in order if they expect to keep on the firing line. Still, the formal, stilted, unchanging card announcement style of advertising is in all too common use among florists. Many continue to cling to this lifeless and well-nigh ineffective kind of pub- licity— using practically no other means to tell the people that they solicit their patronage. Bare statements and prices alone are not the best means to get people to do as you would have them do when, pos- sibly, they are inclined to do something else. For example, is there anything par- ticularly attractive or appealing in an ad like this? EMPIRE FLORAL CO. CUT FLOWERS AND PLANTS DECORATING 100 Main St. Tt. 13 W And yet, hundreds of just such * * foot- less" announcements are still occupying valuable space in the newspapers. That's about all they do — just "oc- cupy ' ' space. Why not put a real, live message in that space? And every florist has many, if he only realizes it. Tell the people about your flowers and their many points of excellence. Why and how they differ from the ordinary run — and many other topics which can be presented in an attractive, interest- ing and convincing manner. Have every ad contain and deliver a message. A small ad, given even a few inser- tions, is worth any number of timeworn "classics" of the above variety. Keep in mind that your advertising, first, last and all of the time, must be salesmanship. When your advertising ceases to be salesmanship, then it isn't worth your paying for space to display it. \ H. Baymond Campbell. SWEET PEAS ON SUGAR HILL. Sugar Hill, near Watkins, N. Y., is the home of Louis J. Bates, who ships asters and sweet peas to the New York city market in large quantities each sea- son. He begins to cut the latter part of July and last year made his latest ship- ment October 18. He trains his sweet peas on the American Field wire fence, forty-five inches high and set several inches above the ground. At the time of taking the photographs reproduced herewith, late last season, the vines were veritable bushes, four to five feet thick. The varieties grown are principally Nora Unwin, Dorothy Eckford and Countess Spencer, and even in as unfavorable a season as last year stems ten to twelve inches long were the rule; occasionally Nora Unwin Sweet Peat at Sugar Hill, N. Y. 6 The Weekly Florists' Review^ August 6, 1908. they, run considerably longer. On the Nora Unwin picking had just been com- pleted when the picture was taken. Last year the aster crop was practically ruined by the drought, and this season has been dry, but the stock is thus far in good shape and promising well. PEONY LADY ALEXANDRA DUFF. T. C. Thurlow & Co., West Newbury, Mass., list Peony Lady Alexandra Duff in this season's catalogue. They copy the description from the Manual of Kel- way & Son for 1908, as follows : ' * Lovely French white; one of the grandest peo- nies existing; tall and robust, and very highly perfumed; scarce. First-class cer- tificate, E. B. S., £5 each." In explana- tion they say, * * Several years ago we bought two plants of Lady Alexandra Duff of Messrs. Kelway and think we got the true variety. It is tall and vig- orous and on good land the flowers are very large and fine. Some of the experts around Boston think ours is identical with James Kelway, but it does not agree with the description of that variety in the Messrs. Kelways ' last Manual. What- ever it is, we believe it to be a valuable kind and shall propagate it as fast as possible. We have never sold any, but will offer a few this year at $5 each.

With the shortening days and some- what cooler nights the little Lorraine be- gonias begin to grow much faster. Lose no time in potting off late rooted cut- tings. These will make useful little plants in 3 ^A -inch or 4-inch pots. Give earlier propagated plants shifts before they can become potbound, and spread them out from time to time. For the final shift 6-inch pots or pans are suffi- ciently large, unless quite large plants are wished for, in which case 8-inch may be used. These begonias do not root deeply and we find they succeed better in pans than pots. If the latter recep- tacles are used, put in plenty of drain- age. Do not use a heavy soil in potting. Flaky leaf-mold, sand, powdered char- ▲VGUST 6, 1008. The Weekly Florists^ Re view. Pickiog Asters at Ross E. Zander's, SoudenhuxZr Pa* coal and loam make a good compost. Let half of the whole mixture be leaf-mold and do not pot too firmly. Keep tops pinched and flowers removed for some time yet, Poinsettias. Early rooted cuttings of poinsettias should be benched by this time. Be care- ful not to ov^rwater. Any sogginess at the root will cause a loss of foliage. Keep the house well ventilated night and day to keep the plants as stocky as pos- sible, and there is no need for any shad- ing on the glass. It is now time to make up the early pans, which can be 8-inch or 10-inch in size. Work some little plants of nephrol- epis, Cyperus alternifolius, or any other cheaply grown foliage plants between the poinsettias. These will cover up any nakedness of stem and materially add to the selling value of the pans. Grow these pans cool for some time. For another month or six weeks a frame will grow them better than a greenhouse. The last lot of cuttings should now go into the propagating bench. These will make up into nice, serviceable little pans for Christmas sales. On no account leave the cuttings long in the benches after they are rooted. Once they become hard they are of little value. Bouvardias. It yet is too early to lift bouvardias, but they should be looked over once a week and leading shoots pinched. If al- ^ lowed to grow ad libitum high winds will break them down badly. The early-flow- ering, white, sweet-scented variety, Hum- boldtii corymbiflor^ comes in useful now in bouquet or design work, at a season when choice flowers are quite scarce. By letting a portion of the plants bloom now and keeping others pinched, a long suc- cession of flowers may be had from this finest of all bouvardias. It would pay commercial growers to try this variety, especially where there is a good home trade. It may be had in bloom from early August until frost in the open and, if lifted and given a warm house, it will bloom much longer. Herbaceous Calceolarias. It is useless sowing seed of the large- flowering herbaceous section of calceola- rias before this time. During intense heat, the seedlings will damp off. As florists' flowers they are less useful than the rugosa section, but their large, showy, spotted blooms will attract many cus- tomers. Like cinerarias, they are head- quarters for green aphis if any are to be found, and want at all times to be grown cool. Anything just clear of freez- ing in winter will suit them, 40 degrees at night being better for them than 50 degrees. Iri sowing the seed let the compost be largely leaf -mold, powdered charcoal and sand. Make the surface smooth and water before scattering in the little seeds. Drop a little fine sand over the seeds. Lay a sheet of glass over it, then cover with newspaper to exclude light. A cool north house or frame is suitable for the seeds. Be sure not to allow the soil to become dry and remove the paper as soon as the seedlings ap- pear. Sun must not be allowed to strike the little plants or they will quickly perish. Sweet Peas. If sweet peas are desired late in Oc- tober, and especially for Thanksgiving trade, the seeds should now be sown. Some growers find diflSculty in germinat- ing the seeds during hot weather, and the percentage of failures is usually heavier than during the cooler months. The seeds may be sown either in flats of sand and transplanted from these into the beds or benches where they are to flower, or, better still, be sown two or three seeds together in 2^-inch or 3-inch pots. The latter method entails more labor, but unless a large quantity is to be grown it is preferable to the sand system. Of course, the seed may also be sown directly in the benches where they are to grow, but the transplanting method will be found the safest. The little plants do not need to be nearer than two to two and a half inches apart in the rows. Several good forcing varieties are now offered. The most popular are Earliest of All and Christmas Pink, pink and white; Florence Denzer, Mont Blanc and Watchung, pure white. Mr. Zvolanek has raised a number of other fine winter va- rieties. These can be had in shades of lavender, pink and red. If you have facilities for doing it, sterilize the soil where your sweet peas are to be grown. It will well repay you for the labor involved. Hydrangeas. Early rooted cuttings of hydrangeas should now be in 4-inch pots and, if given a shift into 6-inch pots within the next fortnight, will make splendid plants for forcing another season. Keep them out- doors in full sun and let them have abundant supplies of water. If you have omitted the insertion of cuttings there is still time to root a batch. These can be grown into nice little 4-inch pot plants before fall. It is yet rather early to dig up and pot any left-over stock you planted outdoors. Wait until the end of the month before doing this. Marguerites* It is difficult, if not impossible, to se- cure any cuttings of marguerites during the summer months which are not of flowering wood. As the cooler nights come on the old stock plants grow with increased vigor. Prune back one or two The Weekly Florists^ Review* August 6, 1908. of these at once, if you have not yet done so, in order to secure a crop of strong, healthy cuttings. Get these into the propagating bench as soon as you can, to grow along into specimens for Easter, 1909. Seed Sowing. If you have omitted sowing seeds of any of the useful biennials and peren- nials, lose no time in doing so. There is still time to get nice plants of pansies, myosotis, digitalis, hollyhocks, delphin- iums, gypsophila and other hardy stock. As the seedlings become large enough to transplant, remove them to nursery rows. The soil should be well loosened up for them, and select cloudy days, if possible, for the work. French Bulbs. The earliest arrivals of such French bulbs as Rom^n hyacinths, Paper White narcissi and Trumpet Major narcissi are about due and, as these are all useful early winter flowers, a good batch should be gotten into flats as soon as received. Four inches of soil is ample for any of these bulbs. Give a, good watering and place on the -floor in a dark cellar. The Paper Whites will be the first to sprout and these cttn easily be had in flower for Thanksgivi;ig. The number of bulbs forced in ^inerica this year will be con- siderably If^B than were grown last sea- son. It is to be hoped that prices will be more satisfactory and with a heavily reduced output this is more than prob- able. Propas:atiii£. While there is still plenty of solar heat and cutting benches are largely unoccu- pied, it is a good plan to root a quantity of crotons, dracaenas, dieffenbachias, ficus and other ornamental-leaved plants. Kept constantly moist, they root much more quickly than in winter with bottom heat. If the stock of that ever useful plant, the variegated vinca, is a little short, look over the plants in the field and rub off a number of the short, succulent shoots with a heel. Started thus early, they can be grown into fair-sized, salable plants by next May. There is rarely any overstock of this vinca and for filling vases or window and piazza-boxes it is indispensable. BOSTON FERNS. There are few places of retail grow- ers where there is not a side bench some- where, maybe a little too shady for carnations, but just the place to bench out at once a few hundred 2 1^ -inch Bos- tons. What fine stock this will make by October — away ahead of any pot cul- ture that could be given them! The soil you use does not need to be just so, as long as it is sweet and porous. They can stand any amount of ajjfi. ; that is, if they have been used to it. Only the other day, while visiting one of the places near Chicago, the owner showed me a 200-foot bench of freshly planted Bos- tons — every leaf burned brown. This happened on the day the stock was planted out. There was no shade given — the temperature was 93 degrees out- side and the young stock came from a rather dark side bench of a palm house. When one considers that the Boston fern is one of the most desirable of house plants, with which so many have success, and quite often one sees fine, large specimens, which have made their growth in a bay window, it would seem that with all the thousands and thousands which have been sold in the last twelve years, every family would have at least four of its own, and yet the demand is constantly on the increase, and, as Louis Wittbold says, "It simply seems impos- sible to have too many good Bostons." After all, there seem to be none of the beautiful sports which have been intro- duced from time to time as hardy as a house plant as is the Boston, and since its introduction I doubt whether any other novelty has been more profitable to a greater number of us than the Boston, and there will not be any let-up in the demand next winter. So get busy. F. B. REPAIRING THE ROOFS. In this time of house-cleaning it may not be out of place to remind you of the going over of the roofs of the ' houses. It is not a bit too early to do it^ for it will not be any cooler this month,' and in September fall work begins to take away our time, and heavy night de^s will often keep the sashbars of the: houses damp for a couple of hours in the morn- ing. There is no better time thian now to do all such repairing as is needed to put the roof into first-class shape 'for the coming winter. ) The putty bulb, with liquid; putty, eithier bought ready-made or prepared out of whiting and oil, will be a coal saver next January if properly appliejd now, just enough to fill the space between the glass and the bar; any more w6uld be wasted. If everything is ready and one man goes oyer the rows of glass t0 see to it that every pane is properly kept in place by the glazing points, or whatever is made use of to hold the glass, and an- other man follows him with the putty bulb, it only takes a short time to go over a 100-foot house. If the bars are in such condition as to require a coat of paint, this should be at- tended to first and it takes a good man to do it. To paint with white lead and oil on top of putty, or to mix even the least white lead with putty, always causes trouble whenever the putty is to be re- moved from the woodwork, as is the case when broken panes are to be repaired. Fritz Bahr. CARNATION NOTES.- VEST. The Plants in the House. As soon as the plants are reestablished enough to have resumed growing and when frequent syringing can be dispensed with, it will be time to go over the beds and break up the surface of the soil, pul- verizing the lumps and leveling it off. The first crop of weeds will be coming up and, if this is done in time, most of these weeds can be killed by being worked into the soil while breaking it up. Those that do take hold and grow again can be pulled up a week or two later with far less labor. The sooner this is done after planting the better, because after planting the soil is usually left uneven, with low places around the plants. If the soil is allowed to crust around the plants and then soaked con- tinually when watering, it is sure to cause stem-rot and souring of the soil. Break- ing it up so the air can get into it keeps it mellow and sweet. Mulching and Syringing. Do not be in too great a hurry to apply any mulch, as that tends to keep out the air as well as to keep in the moisture. Better water more frequently and stir the soil when it crusts over for at least a month after planting. After the roots get to working through the soil is time enough for the mulch. Reduce the syr- inging to about twice a day. When you water in the forenoon, spray the plants overhead and again after dinner. Damp down the walks at the same time. This should be done, of course, only on bright, „^ warm days, when the doors and venti- * lators are wide open, and in no case after the plants have taken hold should they stand wet on the foliage over night. Removing Dead Foliage. While stirring the soil is a good time to take off what dead foliage may be on AOGDST 6, 1908. The Weekly Horists' Review, •V. ■ - .11 . CIW ^ Model. Thaden's Tendril. Heim's.

We do not approve of clean- ing the plants to any great extent when taking them up to plant. It cannot be done at that time without exposing the roots to the air, and more harm is done than good. We find, too, that this year we have far less dead foliage to take oflf than usual. Whether the lack of shade has anything to do with this, I am not certain, but I am inclined to think it has. The plants being well matured nat- urally has much to do with it, too, but I think that, as the two go hand in hand, both deserve credit for the result. I cer- tainly would not care to go back to the old method of heavy shading during planting time. It is a mistake, even when done most skillfully and carefully. A. F. J. Baub. CAKNATION SUPPORTS. The Old-fashioned Kind. Once upon a time all carnation growers tied up their plants by the network of wire and twine still seen in many places, but it has been found that this is not as cheap a method as most of those who use it have thought — and cheapness is about all the system has to recommend it. True, two runs of wire between each row of plants, and a few nickel balls o# string, coat little, but they are extrava- gant of time in putting up each season and unhandy to work among. • A great many of the best things in this world ate due to man's laziness, and perhaps that is the reason we now have the patent carnation support; at any rate, those who have tried any one of the several excellent devices of this char- acter now on the market have usually abandoned the old-fashioned method for good and all. Of course the man who benches 50,000 carnation plants must make quite an investment if he buys patent supports, but, once bought, they last for years. Besides, the wire sup- ports are so quickly put in position that the economy of time affords a good sav- ing on a large place. The Wire Supports. Probably the first of the ' ' ready-to- wear" carnation supports was that sold uader the trade name of Model, by Igoe Bros., of Brooklyn; It was patented July 27, 1897, and has had a steadily increasing sale for more than ten years. It is an extension support, a second sec- tion being readily attached at the top when the plants have made sufficient growth to require it. Next in point of age among the sup- ports now on the market ,is the so-called tendril of H. Thaden & Co., Atlanta, Ga., Several years ago the S. A. F. gaVe this a- certificate of merit, and although not often seen in the west, hutfdredi^ bf thou- sands of these are now in use in all parts Of the country. At the Dayton convention of the S. A. F., J. H. Broxey had a neat exhibit of the Gem support, showing it in use on a section of bench planted with year-old plants. It received a certificate of merit. This support consists of one stake and two rings, which can be raised or lowered according to the needs of the plant, or when not in use can be folded flat with- out the rings being removed from the stake. It takes little space when folded. The Heim support is made by the Heim Support Co., of Connersville, Ind., in which C. A. Bieman is largely interested. It consists of one double stake with a ring on either side, the rings being ad- justable to suit the needs of the plants. It is a pleasure for us, as well as profitable, to advertise in ,Vk0^ for it does not take lone to clean up stock by using the REVIEW to do the work. Please discontinue the advertisement of carnation plants and insert the enclosed. A. LAUB & SON. Hughsonvillet N. Y., July 30, 1908. With the backing of this well-known flo- rist it has sold largely the last two sea- sons. It was patented July 31, 1906. Christ Lund, of Wausau, Wis., was the inventor of the Common Sense support, put on the market last season by C. C. Pollworth Co., Milwaukee. It is manu- factured by the O. J. Jawort Co., Wau- sau, who put in a lot of special machin- ery to give the wire the necessary twist and are turning it out in large quantities this season. It consists of a single wire stake and an open ring, encircling the plant and locking and unlocking with a simple twist of the wrist. The Richmond is a support manufac- tured by the Eagle Machine Works, Rich- mond, Ind., and used by some of the well- known growers of that town. It consists of a double wire stake to which the -rings. in pairs, opposite, attach themselves through the springiness in the wire that clasps the double stake. The latest candidate for the favor of the carnation growers hails from Qmaha, where it is manufactured by Wm. H. Woerner, who is well known to western florists as the maker of wire designs. This is entirely diflPerent from any of the other supports, consisting of two tall loops to set over the plants like the center arch of a croquet set. The supports are bent to provide three notches into which wire rings are dropped as the plants rf^ed higher supports. Mr. Woerner has ap- plied for a patent and is preparing to manufacture his support in quantity. These are by no means all the ready-to- use wire supports, but they are the oneo illustrated in this issue and the ones in which the manufacturers have confidence enough to push them; hence they are naturally the ones most largely used. If you are still using string, better send for a hundred or so of each and try them out for yourself this season; the chances are it will mean your emancipation from the cordage trust. A VISIT TO MT. CLEMENS. A, Von Boeselager. 4 At this time of the year the green- house man is not very anxious about having any callers, especially callers who are themselves in the business and want to see what they can see. For it is the time of the year when the houses are usually at their worst. Still, something can always be learned, as was clearly demonstrated to the writer and his com- panion, Robert Rahaley, during a recent trip to the Bath City. The first stop was made at the model plant of August Von Boeselager, Mr. Boeselager has not had as much experi- ence as a grower as have some others in the trade, but, having been raised on a prosperous farm in the old country, he does know that in order to grow good stock it is absolutely necessary to keep the houses in good repair at all times. Two large boilers were protected against rust and other harmful agents by a good coat of asphaltum on the outside and a free circulation of air on the inside. No dirt was lying around under the benches or in corners, to act as breeding places for various pests. A number of empty paint cans accounted for the well pre- served houses. Mr. Boeselager employs only a small force of help, but, as he puts it, "We keep after the dust all the time, never letting it get so thick that a mop has to be used." Result: Good, clean stock when the demand comes. His carnations are all planted in the houses. Hq will grow an assortment of roses, ft) The Weekly Florists^ Review* August 6, 1008. single violets, and mums, besides, some smilax and asparagus. Through the courtesy of Mr. Von Boeselager we were able to drive around in a nice runabout instead of walking, giving us much more time at each place and saving some exertion. Leopold Mallest. It was a pleasant drive from here to Leopold Mallest 's place. Mr. Mallest built up quite a reputation as a violet grower several years ago and is after the honors again this year. He has a good start, for his stock looks well. Be- sides violets, Mr. Mallest will again go heavily into carnations. These he does exceptionally well. What is no doubt the best patch of asters was seen at this place; the plants are quite free from disease and the varieties are good. Mr. Mallest is fortunate in this, as asters promise to be a scarce article this year, at least as far as Mount Clemens is concerned. Brdtmeyer's Sons. The genial William Breitmeyer showed us around at their large place. They are pretty well caught up in all the work. Carnations are about all planted. Stock in the rose houses looks well. The only thing that is troubling Mr. Breit- meyer is what he terms a new species of thrips. Whatever it is, it does no end of mischief. The young buds are crippled and the young leaves so badly eaten that they invariably die. In some cases whole plants are destroyed in a night. The Breitmeyers grow many va- rieties of roses. Among them for this coming season will be: Bhea Reid; Pot- ter Palmer; the old Safrano, for use in corsage bouquets; Queen Beatrice, of which Mr. Breitmeyer expects a great deal. The color is a beautiful rose-pink and the plants produce a healthy, vigor- ous growth. One house in the newer range is to be devoted to carnations this year. The old houses have all been put into good shape, though with as little expense as possible, as the idea is to gradually transfer the whole plant to the opposite side. The chrysanthemums look well and should produce good flowers, judging from present appearances. This firm will make another effort to grow good violets, but they will have to live in the oldest houses on the place, as they are not to rfeceive much "petting and nursing," as Mr. Breitmeyer puts it. If they do not look favorable in fall, out with them. Herman Pautke will look after the violets this year. Several houses will be devoted to summer roses for another year. The Breitmeyers are also firm believers in the fact that a well kept place produces better stock. Robert Klagge. Robert Klagge was not at home, but his son proved to be well posted on all that was going on about the place and he posted us. A nice house of Kaiserin and La Detroit has been helping to swell the receipts from the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange. Mr. Klagge is going heavily into violets this year, room hav- ing been made by growing two houses less of carnations. Many carnations have already been planted and the stock looks fine. Some of the help was busy carting out old lancifolium lily bulbs, which have been bringing good returns. No new houses are under construction this year, but there is some talk of building some Beauty houses next year. Mr. Klagge 's place can also be spoken of as a model greenhouse plant. Every- thing, from the coal pile to the rubbish heap, shows care. One thing that has gone back on Mr. Klagge this year is his asters. His early ones are pretty well dried up, and while in other years he has usually supplied the market pretty well, he cannot do so this year until the later crops arrive. The Detroit market is also supplied pretty well with various greens from Mr. lOagge's place. Albert L. Stevens* Albert L. Stevens' place, just across the way, was next visited. Carnations and violets are grown by Mr. Stevens. He does not intend going very heavily into violets, but will grow the usual number of carnations, and he grows them well, too. The men were busy taking off some of the soil from the soUd- benches, which will then receive a new top-dressing. Mr. Stevens has a fine lot of asters coming into bloom. Up to the time of the visit, Monday, Jflfly 20, few blooms had been cut, but the plants were full of good-sized buds. This plant is not as large aa the two above, but is steadily growing, and what there is of it is well kept. Mr. Stevens divides his stock between our two local commis- sion houses. Taylor, Carey, et aL ; James Taylor's place was receiving a thorough overhauling. Most of the houses are to receive a coat of paint be- fore any planting will be done. A change from steam to hot water is also con- templated. Mr. Taylor talked some of growing one large house of violets. He has a nice lot of asters for the Detroit market. James Carey was, as usual, hard at work. Considerable of his plant is de- voted to roses. Mr. Carey's son, who has been with Poehlmann Bros., will have charge of the rose houses this year. He does not intend to grow any new vari- eties, the old standbys being good enough. Mr. Carey has some fine asters. The same trouble has been experienced here as nearly everywhere in Mount Clemens, namely, dryness, causing many of the aster flowers to come with a yel- low center and small flower. Many fine sweet peas were ready to pick. On the whole, the outlook is good for a nice lot of stuff from Mount Clemens this coming season. At present there is a scarcity of asters, due to dry weather and the damage being done by stem- rot or some similar disease. Sweet peas are quite plentiful, and the flowers good. The writer is of the opinion that too many colored asters are sown by the growers. One fine batch seen were near- ly all dark purple and rose-pink. This is a big mistake, as most of the flowers are used for funeral work at this time of the year and light colors are in de- mand. Mr. Rahaley is of the opinion that there is room for more good carna- tions on this market and was surprised that some growers intend growing less than in former years. H. S. NOTES FROM ENGLAND. National Sweet Pea Show. For several weeks the prospects of the sweet pea show at London being up to its usual standard had been a debatable point. At times unfavorable weather caused growers to be despondent and, when a period of rain set in during the first two weeks of July, the hopes of many went down to zero. But the situa- tion was not altogether irretrievable and a week's sunshine prior to the show brought about wonderful changes, with the result that the galaxy of blooms under the roof of the R. H. S. hall July 24 was never surpassed, and the beauty of the general arrangement of the ex- hibits was the theme and the admiration of all. Upon entering the hall, visitors passed under a grand archway of sweet peas, designed by R. Pinches, London, and decorated by R. Felton & Sons, court florists, Hanover square, London, with sweet peas and gypsophila, and for this a special gold medal of the society was awarded. In the center of the hall, Carter & Co., London, had erected a pyramidal stand decorated with thou- sands of sprays of sweet peas, small palms and ferns, and the effect was mag- nificent. For this, also, a special gold medal was awarded. Gold medals were awarded to Dobbie & Co., Rothesay; G. Stark & Son, Great Ryburgh; E. W. King & Co., Coggeshall; Baker's, Wolverhampton; Hobbies, Ltd., Dereham, and Cannell & Co., Swanley. G. Stark & Son exhibited George Stark, the new variety which received the society's silver medal as the best variety of the year at the trials, and Mrs. R. W. Pitt, rosy pink, another new va- riety of promise. E. W. King & Co. put up a flne ex- hibit of vases and stands, surmounted by an arch from which baskets of sweet peas were suspended, but the center of attraction was a new pink, giant flow- ered variety named Ernest King. Very high quality was represented in the beautifully arranged exhibits from Dobbie & Co. The head of the firm, William Cuthbertson, is the society's president. Mrs. A. Ireland, a new va- riety which received the society 's F. C. C, was greatly admired. Hobbies, Ltd., Dereham, demonstrated in a telling manner that they know how to grow and show sweet peas to perfec- tion. Silver gilt medals were awarded to E. Webb & Sons, Stourbridge; W. J. Unwin, Cambridge, and C. W. Bread- more, Winchester, all contributing pretty exhibits. Henry Eckford did not come out quite so strongly as on some past occasions and did not rise above a large silver medal, and Jones & Son, Shrews- bury, received a similar award. Considerable interest centered around the tables on which the challenge cup classes were arranged, and competition was never so keto. The Sutton silver challenge cup, trade competitors ex- cluded, for fifteen bunches of sweet peas, distinct, was awarded to Sir Randolph Baker, Blandford. For the Henry Eck- ford memorial cup there was a stiff fight between the champion growers, the judges deciding in favor of F. Wellesley, Wo- king. Last year's winner, T. Stevenson, was fourth, and T. Jones, the previous year's winner, came in second. Thus, in three years it has been won by three different, men. It must be won three times by one man in direct succession before it becomes his property. Its value is 50 guineas. The Horace Wright challenge bowl, for nine bunches, was won by Rev. T. McMurdie, Addlestone. C. C. Morse & Co., Santa Clara, Cal., presented the prizes in a class for twenty- four bunches, distinct, and W. H. Rams- ley, Alford, secured the first prize. For the Burpee challenge cup six com- petitors entered. It is awarded to the best display of sweet peas on a table AuoDST 6, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review. n three feet by four feet. Only a few points iseparated the first and second ex- hibits, but the balance was in favor of B. Bolton, Warton, Carnforth, who has been going strong at several shows this year. His exhibit contained fine vases of Helen Lewis, Countess Spencer, John Ingman, Primrose Spencer, Mrs. C.

Decorated dinner tables were a lovely feature of the show; also decorative vases, epergnes, etc., of sweet peas. Miss Cole and Miss Cuthbertson being award- ed the highest honors. Of course, growers had many new va- rieties on view, and critics were busy morning, noon and night, and no doubt will continue to be for many days to come, but according to N. S. P. S. rules, no awards are made until varieties have stood the tests of the society's trials, seeds for which have to be sent in as may be directed. Thirty-five varieties engaged the attention of the floral com- mittee. These were exhibited under number only, the exhibitor's name being unknown to the members. Fourteen va- rieties were recommended to go forward for trial, and until July of next year there will be little more to say about them. Altogether, the eighth show of the so- ciety was a grand success, a glorious dis- play of flowers, and favored with beau- tiful weather. There was a large attendance at the show, including Arthur M. Kirby, of Peter Henderson & Co., New York, who oflBciated as one of the judges; also W. Miller, of the editorial department of Country Life, New York, and Mrs. Mil- ler, and enthusiasts from British Colum- bia, New Zealand, France and Germany. At the annual dinner, held the same evening, William Cuthbertson, J. P., president of the society, occupied the chair, and in the course of the proceed- ings presented a testimonial to the hon- orable secretary, Chsis. H. Curtis, from the society, in the shape of a check for £60 and an album of photographs of sweet pea growers. Mr. Sherwood, of Hurst & Son, London, followed with the presentation of a gold bracelet to Mrs. Curtis. A. M. Kirby, in replying to the toast of the judges, said that the world looked to England as the leading country in the advancement of the sweet pea. At pres- ent much diflSculty was experienced in the fixing of new varieties; this he at- tributed to the break in the blood through the advent of the Spencer type. The main object of his trip was to see what the N. S. P. S. show was like, and he was greatly impressed with its high standard of excellence. W. Miller, in proposing the toast of the society, said that England beat Amer- ica hollow in the cultivation of sweet peas, and he spoke many appreciative words regarding the work of English hybridists in bringing the flower to such perfection. He concluded an interest- ing speech by proposing long life and prosperity to the National Sweet Pea Society. The last toast on the list, "The La- dies," was entrusted to S. B. Dicks, of Cooper, Taber & Co., London, who spoke in his usual effective and humorous vein. Referring to the toast as the most im- portant toast on the list, he coupled it with the names of Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Cuthbertson. '-« Israel Rosnosky. Mrs. Miller, New York, replied. She naively remarked that the toast was the last on the list, to give the ladies an op- portunity of having the last word. Con- tinuing, she said: "I knew it was an honor to come to the sweet pea show, an additional honor to be invited to the dinner, but to be invited to speak — I am simply speechless. Today I have noted with admiration the grace, the elegance and the dignity of the sweet pea, and I never expect to see a more beautiful show, a fitting finale to the splendid two months spent in England." Bee. LONGIFLORUMS FROM FORMOSA, [A paper by 1. Rosnosky, of the Henry F. Michell Co., Philadelphia, read before the Phil- adelphia Florists' Club, August 4, 1908.] The Formosa lily was discovered about three years ago, by Mr. Uhei Suzuki, of Yokohama, Japan. Mr. Suzuki, after repeated efforts to bring a lily on the market that could compete in earliness with the Bermuda Harrisii, discovered on the island of For- mosa a wild-growing lily of longiflorum type. The bulbs were collected and cul- tivated exactly as they are on the main- land. The cultivation proved highly suc- cessful, and three years ago six cases, in miscellaneous sizes, of the Formosa lily were shipped for the purpose of experi- pienting in the United States. The experiment proved a success, and as the following year a further consign- ment of sixty cases resulted equally well, the Yokohama house was instructed to plant as many Formosa lilies as possible. Quality of Blooms. The Formosa lily flowers in the month of February in its native island, which is about two months earlier than the Harrisii in Bermuda. By the end of May the bulbs are ready for shipment and ought to reach here in August. Be- peated experiments have proved the For- mosa lily to be strictly free from disease and the bulbs are good for either pot, plant or cut flowers. There are about six different kinds of Formosa lilies, but the flowers are al- most identical and bloom at the same time. The flower opens up a fine, pure, waxy white, and keeps splendidly. The average size of the plants is thirty inches to forty inches high, with leaves from the root up. The plant produces three to eight flowers to a plant and, accord- ing to size of bulbs, they stand out firm and strong, and last long. The plants stand very erect and their stalks are firm and hard. Peculiarities of Ctiltttre. I wish to call special attention to the fact that if the Formosa lilies are not forced too much they will all turn out the same height. If forced very early they will grow rather tall and may not produce flowers as large as they should if grown in a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees. If the lilies are wanted for Easter, the bulbs should be potted in November and kept cool. This long rest that the bulbs get, from the time of their arrival until they can be potted, is very bene- ficial. An interesting result was achieved by the Hinode Florist Co., of Whitestone, N. Y., with this year's lot of multiflorum lilies. They did not pot the bulbs until a week after Cliristmas and, much to everyone's surprise, the plants were ready for the Easter market in perfect condi- tion. Furthermore, the Hinode Florist Co. only had to throw out ten per cent of their multiflorum lilies, while some other growers sustained a larger loss on the other varieties. They kept their lilies w The Weekly Florists^ Review. August 6, 1008. in a temperature of from 50 to 55 de- grees at night, sometimes 60 degrees. A Caution as to Watering. I also wisli to emphasize the fact that a great many lilies are killed by over- watering, for even the strongest and healthiest plants can be killed that way. The roots get soaked until they are brown, and the plant dies. During cold weather the water should be warmed up, to avoid chilling the plants. Tor the benefit of the Philadelphia florists, I wish to say that E. Lieker, at Lansdo^trne, Pa., gave the Formosa a thorough trial of 1,500 bulbs. He was exceptionally well pleased with the re- sults last Easter. I also saw a fine lot of Formosas at A. Graham & Son's, Cleve- land, O., A. N. Pierspn's, Cromwell, Conn., and several other places. An The soil is a clay subsoil. Other beds planted to other kinds of plants under the same conditions have not been both- ered to any great extent. Has the wet season anything to do with itf Late in May the ground was rather wet when spaded. . , H. D. C. The damage spoken of has probably been caused by the larvae of the May beetle or June bug. The beetle deposits its eggs usually in patches of cow ma- nure, and these hatch out the white grubs which in some seasons work wide- spread destruction to grass land and many garden crops, including those grown under glass. The only remedy we can recommend to quickly kill oflf the grubs without injuring your plants is to procure a bottle of carbon bisulphide. Pour a few drops of this in holes eight- Wm* F. Kasting and "W^m. Kasting, Jr^ Act as Umpires. these parties have placed increased orders for 1908 delivery. I am also informed that Bassett & Washburn, of Chicago, had especially good results with Formosas last Easter. This firm grows a large quantity. GRUBS IN GERANIUM BEDS. We have several geranium beds in- fested with white grubs at the roots. The roots are eaten oflf and, on examina- tion, we find a white grub boring in the lower part of the stock. These beds were planted to bulbs last fall and were covered, when the ground froze, with perhaps two inches of half rotted stable manure, which was spaded in this spring. een inches apart each way, immediately covering these after pouring in the liquid. The fumes strike downward and will suffocate the grubs. Do not use any lights while using the carbon, as it is of an explosive nature. It would be well this fall to lime the ground well where these pests have appeared and, if you are not going to plant with bulbs, dig the ground over and leave it rough over winter. Even if you used new soil, while it might be better -for the plants, it would be ju^t as likely to be full of the destructive larvae which are attack- ing the roots of your geraniums. The spring rains are not responsible; with most of us, drought followed. C. W.- ASPARAGUS SPRENGERL Have you ever figured out what it costs for cut Sprengeri during the win- ter months? Or, have you ever been caught when it was as scarce in the mar- ket as red carnations a week before Christmas? Strange, and yet the case is the same as with Boston ferns; the more new and more curly members of the nephrolepis family are introduced to take the place of the Bostons, the more Bos- tons are sold. There are two things the retail grower, has hardly ever enough of, and these are Bostons and Asparagus Sprengeri. Leave the growing of plu- mosus strings to the specialist and buy the strings whenever in need of them, but grow the other kind yourself, even if only able to maintain a carnation house temperature in winter. Do this not alone for what this indispensable green costs in midwinter, but for the convenience of having it when wanted. Do not try to crowd the fleshy roots into small Dots or into a bench of four or five inches of soil and expect good results, it cannot be done, and why occupy valuable bench room when they can be grown to perfection in wire bas- kets? Bight now is as good a time as any to start for next winter's supply. Use three strong 3-inch pot plants for a 12- inch, or, what is better^ a 14-inch basket. You can make the baskets out of chicken wire, but the cost of the ready-made ar- ticle is so little, not to mention the~un- sightliness of the home-made affair, that it does not pay to bother. Use sphag- num moss for lining and a good, rich, but porous soil for planting. Do not hang the baskets now; they are better off stood on a bench until they begin to crowd each other for room. In every greenhouse plant there are a lot of places to hang the baskets, and there is nothing hung up which will bring better returns with less expense and trouble. When the roots begin to shove through the bottom and sides of the baskets, it means a light dose of liquid cow manure is wanted, say, once every two weeks. And, like Boston ferns, they want plenty of water, but cannot stand sour soil. In filling the baskets now, do not start wrong by using a lot of stunted or small stock. If you have no good stock of your own, a glance through the classi- fied advertisements will get you in touch with a dozen or more who have the stock, and some of them not far from home. F.B. BUFFALO. Qub Picnic The annual picnic of the Florists ' Club was held at the Bedell House, on Grand Island, Wednesday, July 29, and the 130 persons who attended pronounced it the most successful outing ever held by the club. We regret that a few of our members, notably Miss Eebstodk, Mr. Palmer and C. F. Christensen, were unable to be with us. The ball game was, of course, the largest and most talked of event of the day and, while it was a rather one-sided affair,' the west side team winning over the east side by a score of 10 to 4, it served to show us who could and who could not play ball, something we need to know in choosing a team at the S. A. F. convention. W. F. Kasting umpired. The tug of war, between teams cap- tained by W. F. Kasting and William ^:. ;«.■.:;':-•-' 7^-?: ADSOtfX «, 1908. The WeeMy Florists' Review. II The Buffalo Florists' Qvb at the Bedell House, Grand Island, N. Y. Ehmann, of Corfu, proved the most amusing event of the day, Mr. Kasting's team winning three straight heats. Mr., Ehmann thereupon issued a sweeping challenge to pull, singly, any man on the grounds. He was kept busy the remain- der of the day," The relay running race, between five of Palmer & Son 's employees and a pick- ed team, was won by the former, largely through the ability of James Longley. The other events on the program were as follows: Hop, skip and jump, David Scott first, William Grever second, James Longley third. Men's race, over 35, T. Shank first, E. C. Brucker second, John Preisac third. Bunning long jump, David Scott first, James Longley second, "William Grever third. One hundred-yard handicap, open to all, James Longley first, Edward Wal- ther second, Joseph Speidel third. Philip Scott, being a professional, was barred from the above events, but he gave us an exhibition jump which al- most equaled the world's record. George McClure won the bowling tour- nament, and Mr. McClure, by the way, has been chosen captain of the bowling team to represent this city at the con- vention. Much credit is due Mr. Sangster and Mr. Grever for the able way in which everything was arranged for and carried out. R. F. D. INSIDE CULTURE IN SUMMER. : ITaterins:, Weeding and Disinfectinjg:. Those who grow their violets in the house should have their planting done before this time, and for a while they must take extra care of them, paying particular attention to the watering and never allowing them to suffer for the want of it, but keeping them rather on the wet side until they are well estab- lished and growing. Do not get careless and overlook the little details which, during the hot sum- mer weather, go to the making of a perfect house. For one thing, keep the house clean. Do not let the weeds get even a start, as they take strength from the soil, harbor vermin of one kind or another, and, last but not least, smother and injure the plant. Not only should the weeds \)e kept out of the beds and borders, but it is equally important to keep them from the paths and under the benches. It is well not to forget the scattering of lime about the house freely, keeping everyttoing wholesome and sweet, as well as working annoyance to the sow bugs, centipedes, etc., that always like to visit otir houses. B. E. S. OBITUARY. Christian Rieger. Christian Rieger died in Pittsburg, Pa., Sunday, August 2, after an illness of teii months. Mr. Rieger was a regular attendant at the S. A. F. conventions for many years and, while he was not a florist, he had made nearly all the wire designs used by the trade in west- ern Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Vir- ginia for the last thirty-five years. He was loved and respected by all who knew him, for his many good qualities. He was always cheerful and had a kind word for everyone. Being above, the average in intelligence, he was often given the opportunity of tendering advice, which was always on the right side. T^ie trade all knew him and will all mourn for him as a friend. 'William Hale. William Hale died in San Francisco, Cal., July 22, at the age of 63 years. Mr. Hale was at one time the owner of the Dwight-Way Nursery, in Berkeley, C{^1., but retired from business several years ago. Justin A« Goodhue. Justin A. Goodhue, president of the I Utah Nursery Co.; and an old resident of Salt Lake City, Utah, died suddenly July 23 at the Alta Club, from apoplexy. Mr. Goodhue was seated in the library of the club at about 6 o 'clock, when he was seized with the sudden attack. When the attendants ran to his assistance he was unconscious and completely para- lyzed. He was taken to a bedroom and Dr. A. C. JEwing was summoned. When the doctor arrived he at once saw, that Mr. Goodhue could live but a few. hours. He died about 8 o 'clock. His niece, Miss Katberine G. Vorse, who has been his housekeeper for some years, was called to his bedside and was piresent when the end came. Mr. Goodhue was bom in Ohio in 1845. He enlisted in an Ohio regiment at the opening of the war of the states and served throughout the whole struggle, winning the rank of captain at the time of his discharge from the service. He removed to Salt Lake about twenty years ago and has been engaged in the nursery business since that time. Fourteen years ago he became associated with M. B. Sowles, who, with Mr. Goodhue, organized the Utah Nursery Co. Mr. Goodhue was a bachelor and was one of the oldest members of the Alta Club. Mr. Sowles, his most intimate as- sociate, said that so far as he knew, Mr. Goodhue carried no insurance at the time . of his death, although several endowment policies held by him had matured and had been paid in. Mr. Goodhue was a Mason of many years' standing. COLEUS DECAYED AT ROOTS. I send some coleus plants, and also some of the soil in which they were bedded. The plants were healthy when bedded, except that there were a few mealy bugs, but to no damaging extent. The trouble seems to lie in the soil, as the roots are badly decayed. The soil has been in beds . for five years and was well manured last fall. Coleus has been planted in the beds for five years in suc- cession and has done well up to this year. Do you think a change of soil would be an advantage f G. T. D. Without knowing more of soil and cli- matic conditions it is difficult to tell just what has caused the coleus to act in this way. The specimens sent were certainly t^VhlilLii, "1"? • ;'5-;, j^ -■'•■* . u The Weekly Florists^ Review* August 6, 1908. in a bad condition and some mealy bugs were on the roots. It is just possible that something in the soil, which came with the manure, may be the cause of the roots decaying. A renewal of the soil would seem to be the best remedy. As a rule, coleus will grow luxuriantly in almost any soil in any location, and un- less some disease unknown to us has at- tacked your plants, the trouble would seem to be in the soil. C. W. BOSTON. The Market. Although extreme quiet prevails in cut flower circles at present, the arrivals are so much reduced from a few weeks ago that much better clearances are being ef- fected. Outdoor flowers now hold the center of the stage, asters being most in evidence. Prices on these have drop- ped within the last few days. Sweet peas are not abundant and are of rather poor quality. Gladioli are plentiful and good. Carnations are almost out of the running at present. Such as are coming in are small. The same holds true of roses, although the flowers of Kaiserin and Carnot are of . fair quality. In lUies there are good blooms of longi- florupi, also a f^ir supply of speciosum and auratum. The latter does not sell weH on accoijpt of its heavy odor, how- evei*. It looks mow as though there would be a slow jsut steady improvement in business from now onward. . A Visit to Farquhar's. The members of the committee on plants and flo^yers of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, with other invited guests, visited the greenhouses of R. & J. Farquhar & Co., at Roslindale, July 31, to inspect their collection of new lilies from northern China, now in bloom. The party consisted of T. D. Hatfield, C. W. Parker, J. A. Pettigrew, Duncan Finlay- son, E. Johansson, Joseph Clark, Samuel Hartwell, Thomas Roland, Robert Camer- on and W. P. Rich. Before going to Ros- lindale the party was entertained at lunch by Messrs. Farquhar at the Park- er House. There are several thousand of the new lilies, of which a goodly propor- tion were flowering. A pretty, little, graceful variety similar to L. pulchellum, with bright scarlet flowers, was much admired. James Farquhar thinks that by crossing it on one of the new white truippet varieties he may eventually ob- tain a scarlet trumpet lily. A large quantity of blooms were open on a va- riety with large white or pale lemon trumpet flowers, with chocolate markings on the outside of the petals, similar to Brownii, but with much shorter foliage. Grown and opened under glass the flow- ers come pure white and take on an en- tirely different form, more nearly resem- bling auratum in this respect. The bulbs are quite different from those of Brownii. Bulbs of small size flower, and Messrs. Farquhar think there are great possibili- ties in the intercrossing of this lily and L. Philippense for the production of an ideal white forcing lily. Numerous seedlings of shrubs, also col- lected by E. H. Wilson in northern China, were noted, and as the climate there resembles that of the nothem states of America, some valuable additions to our hardy shrubs will, no doubt, be ob- tained. Seedlings of L. longiflorum x Philippense in varipus stages of growth were noticed.

Why not send it now? I wish to state that we received many more orders from our advertisement in the Rkview than we were able to All, receiving orders from New Torlc, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, Colorado and several other states. We were sold out a few days after the first insertion.— Geo. M. Kellogg, Pleasant Hill, Mo. and ornamental trees and shrubs were growing. Messrs. Veitch, of London, in^ troduced many beautiful plants collected by Mr. Wilson while in their employ, and that the treasures of northern China have not all been introduced is evident from the many new things now being sent here. Qub Picnic Once more the Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club was favored with ideal weath- er for the annual picnic at Pine Banks park, Maiden, July 29. The grounds are commodious and beautiful. The ball field, used for the athletic contents, was an excellent one and everything passed off without a hitch. The attendance was about 500 and all attending seemed to have a full day's enjoyment. The ath- letic events were slightly less numerous than a year ago, but could be still further reduced in numbers with advantage. The results of the various events were as fol- lows: Baseball. — Private gardeners captained by R. W. Curtis. 29; commercial growers captained by F. E. Palmer, 13. Baseball. Boys. — T.

During the baseball game James Wheeler got a nasty crack on the left eye with the ball, but continued in the game. Several of the spectators had rather narrow escapes. In the fat men's race Daniel Hiflfe surprised everyone by the way he ran. The Iliffe family are all sprinters and figured heavily in the prize distribution. Among visitors noted from a distance were: Ed. Roehrs, Rutherford, N. J., whose brother, Rudolph, ran in several races, and F. C. GVeen, Warwick, R. I. W. H. Elliott came down from Mad- bury, N. H., for the occa;sion. Once more the private gardeners were too much for the commercials in the tug of war. The winning team consisted of D. Finlayson, captain; J. Wheeler, S. Bolton, A. G. Sawyer, W. S. Grassie, J. L. Smith, J.- G. Duguid, William Robb, J. W. Lally, A. Lowe and John Reid. W. S. Grassie won both the 100-yard and half-mile contests handily against some fleet competitors. Though short of stature, he can cover the ground fast. Additional prize donors to those men- tioned in last issue of the Review were: Lager & Hurrell, Braman, Dow & Co., W. H. Elliott and Henry Penn. The baseball contest was marked by some tall scoring, and the privates would have added to it heavily if the game had not been called at the end of the fifth inning. R. W. Curtis proved' a star pitcher for his side. W. J. Kennedy made an ideal mega^ phone man, and Duncan Finlayson work- ,a;y. ;;r-'Tv->:-?'T • AcjQUST 6, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* is ed hard as chairman of the refreshment committee. Peter Miller and the whole of the sports committee put in good work. E. J. Kogean, who was anchor man on the commercial tug of war, fainted at the close of the contest, but soon re- vived. Mrs. Kogean proved fleet-footed in the ladies' 100-yard race, making the fastest time yet recorded for this race. Various Notes. W. H. Elliott has completed and plant- ed his big new greenhouse at Madbury, N. H. The dimensions are 60x1,340. It is divided into seven sections, of which six are devoted to Killarney and Rich- mond. Included are seventy-five of the white Killarney which sported with Mr. Elliott. The house contains about 50,- 000 plants and is probably the finest rose house in the world. Mr. Elliott will not attend the S. A. F. convention at Niagara Falls, leaving this week for the Maine woods for a few weeks' com- plete rest. The exhibition at Horticultural hall, August 8, should prove a good one. Phloxes and annuals will be special fea- tures. August 22 and 23 there will be a large late summer show. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Neil, of Dor- chester, sailed for England on the Ma- jestic July 25. Mr. Neil will visit many prominent growers in and around London and will also take in the Island of Jer- sey, also hoping to see the great Shrews- bury show. Thomas Clark, of Houghton & Clark, has a cottage at Winthrop for the season, where he is spending his vacation. S. J. Goddard has finished housing his carnations, which are a fine lot, quite free from stem-rot. He will soon be able to start picking. William Nicholson will spend his vaca- tion this month at Nantucket, enjoying the shark fishing off that island. Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham, who is a large grower of carnations, will not house his plants for a month yet, find- ing that early housing does not pay. Herman Waldecker, of Braintree, is just cleaning out his tomatoes, which have given him heavy crops this season, to make room for carnations, which are looking splendid. Florists bothered with cutworms who have not yet found a reliable cure for these pests should try Strawson's Vapor- ite. Experiments last week, which we had the pleasure of witnessing, proved that the cutworms' lease of life was brief once they had come in contact with this preparation. A small portion causes death. Only a small number of members have as yet made up their minds to attend the Niagara convention, but it is hoped that Boston will send a good representation. Among those who hope to attend are M. A. Patten, J. K. M. L. Farquhar, F. N. Sanborn and Thomas Pegler. The appearance of two additional ene- mies of shade trees, in the oak borer and leopard moth, adds to the already for- midable list of insects we have to fight. The oak borers' attacks are made at long intervals and were quite severe seven years ago, since which time we have been almost immune from them. The leopard moth is a newcomer, and Pro- fessor Kirkland blames the English spar- row for driving from the cities the na- tive insectivorous birds, which would de- stroy them. So far as our observations nave gone, these same sparrows are about the only birds which eat any considerable These Are the Little Liners That Do the Basioess number of our destructive tree pests, the native birds seeming to prefer more appetizing food. Kecent rains have wonderfully im- proved dahlias, and prospects now are for a splendid crop of these popular fall flowers in Massachusetts. The number of commercial specialists in them increases yearly, and there are few gardens where at least a few dahlias are not grown. Kenneth Finlayson, Robert Cameron and W. N. Craig left for Bar Harbor, Me., Tuesday evening, August 4, to of- ficiate as judges at the flower show open- ing there August 6. A special meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists ' Club has been called for Saturday evening, August 8, at Horti- cultural Hall. Important business will come up and a large attendance of mem- bers is hoped for. The Amherst field day has been changed from August 14 to 15, to accom- modate some who could not make the journey on the earlier day. The Niagara G>nvention. F. E, Palmer, state vice-president for Massachusetts of the S. A. F., earnestly hopes that a goodly number of mem- bers of the Gardeners ' and Florists ' Club of Boston will attend the convention at Niagara Falls, opening August 18. If all who intend to go would make up their minds early, so that concerted action could be taken, the economy and comfort of the trip would be greatly fa- cilitated. This, of course, includes any who desire to attend the convention, whether members of the club or not. The best rates available are on the 1% fare, certificate basis, making the round trip from Boston $15.92 on the New York Central, or $15.12 on the Fitchburg railroad. This is exclusive of the sleepers. There is no doubt in Mr. Palmer's mind that the destiny of the S. A. F. is to evolve into a national horticultural society on a broad basis, and that the gardeners ' and florists ' clubs of the coun- try will be the natural feeders and cor- respondents of the society. That being the desirable objective, private gardeners as well as all lovers of horticulture should attend the meetings and seek to direct the policies of the S. A. F. into the desired channels. Mr. Palmer- will be g}ad to assist in bringing togjether , all who propose to attend the convention, and will promptly give any information bj^tainable, but hopes no one'wilL.pHt off making up his mind until the last ber 9 to 15. 1908; W.

Growers are invited to write to the Review about any of their heating prob- lems. Give all the details. Write on printed letter-heads; don't leave people to question whether you are in the trade, or an amateur. There is no doubt that the growers have stood the brunt of the business de- pression of the last ten months, no other department of the trade having been se- riously affected. Adolph Jaenicke, president of the Nassau County Horticultural Society, Glen Cove, N. Y., has received a letter from President Roosevelt saying that he wished to become a member of the so- ciety. It is the report from most wholesale cut flower markets that the growth of summer business, which has been appar- ent for several years, has overcome any effect of the depression in general busi- ness. Sydney B. Wektheimer, New York, sends a carte postale from St. Ettienne, France, illustrating lace-making in con- nection with the ribbon industry there. Mr. Wertheimer will return for the S. A. F. convention. E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., has returned home after two months' ab- sence in Europe. He officiated as a judge at the international rose show in Paris during June, and he brings home trophies which were awarded his own rose productions, Rhea Reid, Admiral Evans and Richmond. Tests of the Strawson preparation, Vaporite, seem to show that cutworms have short shrift when it is mixed into the soil. Try a little. If your seeds- man does not keep it, write to Straw- son's, 71a Queen Victoria street, London, for the name of one who does. Mention the Review when you write to any deal- er for this preparation. QxnTE a few firms make it their claim that they are prepared to execute any sort of an order, from a funeral piece to a landscape contract, and such as these now find themselves compelled to provide spraying outfits for cleaning up their patrons' trees and shrubs, so universal and destructive have the attacks of in- sect pests become. THE FUEL DIRECTORY. To the kindness of its readers the Re- view is indebted for the order of many a new advertiser, especially in the lines of the allied trades. Every now and then the user of a satisfactory article tells the vendor of the article that other customers are to be found by means of an advertisement in the Review — ^it is a service to both parties, and to the trade at large. If you are buying coal by the car from mine or jobber, and are pleased with the arrangement, call your party's attention to the Florists' Fuel Directory in the Review. The coal and service that please you will gain the patronage of other florists if the mine or jobber only lets it be known that the business is wanted. Send the Review the name of your coal man, or the seller of any other sat- isfactory article the trade should know about. Remember that any additional money paid the Review for advertising comes back to each reader in the form of a steadily improving paper. PRICE OF GLASS. Pittsburg. — The price of window glass was advanced August 1 by the American Window Glass Co., the increase being twenty per cent on single strength and thirty-three and one-third per cent on double strength. The advance, it is said, will be followed by an early resumption of operations in most of the glass fac- tories. Cleveland. — President A. L. Faulkner, of the Window Glass Workers, predicted August 1 that wages in the glass trades would increase largely after September 1 as a result of an advance just announced in the price of window glass.

The Great Cental Market The market has been gradually slow- ing down. We are having one of the hottest summers on record, and two weeks of high temperature and no rain have had their effect in several ways. The local de- mand for flowers becomes exceedingly light with the thermometer registering above 90 degrees, and only two things support the market. Most important of these is the shipping demand; the other item is funeral work. The continued heat and drought have affected the outdoor flowers so that the quality of these is poor and it is impossible to realize any- thing but the lowest of prices for them, which makes the volume of sales less than it would otherwise be, for this mar- ket never is so badly off but that there is a sale for strictly flrst-dass stock. The Beauty crops are behaving strangely ; they come on quickly and seem to pass off in a day or two. Ordinarily one would be justified in expecting a crop, once on, to. last two or three weeks, but from a (iondition of abondaftt supply last week the Beauty market now is short and it is not possible to fill all orders as exactly as would be liked. There are increasing supplies of other roses, but Killamey continues to lead the market. Quite a number of houses are cutting fine stuff, the best of it readily commanding as much as 12 cents. Kil- lamey easily has established itself as the best summer rose. Kaiserin leads in white, but is not plentiful. The Brides and Maids from young stock are improv- ing, but no good roses of these varieties are to be expected with the temperature in the shade running for days at a time around 90 degrees. August 3 the official temperature, at the top of the post-office dome, was 96.4 degrees, the warmest day in seven years. There are few carnations, for the old stock has practically all been thrown out and the flowers from the field are poor as a result of the drought. Asters are in ample supply, but they are not as good as they would be if we had less heat and more raip. Still, there are asters which sell as high as 3 cents. Th« principal glut at present is of gladioli. There are too many of the bet- ter grades to bring high prices and of the poorer grades there are many which are not worth express charges. There continue to be large supplies of auratum lilies and adequate receipts of rubrum and album. Considerable quantities of Philippense come in, but not much can be done with them. Comparatively few sweet peas are received, the dry weather having been their finish. There is considerable doing in fema and galax, but asparagus strings and smilax go slowly. Several wholesalers have quantities of last year's crop of boxwood eating its head off in cold stor- age. The losff, when they finally dump it, will destroy the profit on what was sold last winter, and the wholesalers are can- celing their orders for this fall 's delivery. The Weather in July. July was hot and dry. Only 1.45 inches of rain fell, as against a normal precipi- tation of 3.62 inches. There were nine perfectly clear days, eighteen partly cloudy, but only four wholly cloudy. On five days we had 100 per cent of the pos- sible sunshine and on seven others more than ninety-two per cent of all that could J^ The Weekly Florists Review^ August 6, 1908. ■^ KILLARNEY We have a grower who is juat beginning to cut a splendid crop of Killarney. you are calling for the best in the market.

The prevailing direc- tion of the wind was southwest, which means heat. July Business. The first part of July was considerably better than the latter part and, taken as a whole, July has given as much business in dollars and cents as it did a year ago. The steady growth in summer business has fully overcome any result of busi- ness depression. The Wittbold Bench. The firm of E, H. Hunt, which is the, selling agent for the Louis Wittbold in- ventions, says that more orders for the patent clamps for making concrete benches have been filled in July than in any previous month, although a couple of unusually large sales in June made the total sales for that month the best of the S6&80I1* Nees Bros., 19 Clara place, and W. L. Smith, the vegetable ^ower in Rogers Park, were among the recent purchasers of clamps and they are now building the one-piece concrete bench. J. A. Peter- son, of Cincinnati, also, was a recent pur- chaser. Poehlmann Bros. Co. is much interested in the >Wittbold one-piece bench. August Poehlmann is convinced that wood shortly will be displaced by some more permanent and less expensive style of construction and he plans to equip the whole place with the best form of permanent construction as fast as the wood benches give out. Louis Wittbold and C. M. Dickinson will attend the S. A. F. convention and make an exhibit of the Wittbold special- ties, To-bak-ine, etc. Various Notes. It was reported in this market last week that E. Haentze, the veteran fioriSt of Fond du Lac, had potted up his last batch of stock, but a letter from there this week says Mr. Haentze is just as much alive as ever and expects to join Vote for J. F. Sullivan of Detroit For Secretary of S. A. F. Indorsed by Detroit Rorlsts' Qub the Chicago party to the S. A. F. conven- tion. F. F. Benthey, chairman of the trans- portation committee of the Florists' Club, says he hears of many who are going to the convention, but has had few requests to book reservations. From out- side the city J. A. Valentine, of Denver, has asked for a berth in the Chicago train, as have Theodore Wirth and party from Minneapolis and the gardener at Gen. Palmer's estate at Colorado Springs. William W. Abrahamson, July 31, re- signed his position as traveling salesman for E. H. Hunt to start in business for himself as a fiorists' purchasing agent. His headquarters are at 19 and 21 Wa- bash avenue and he will represent a num- ber of buyers in this market. Axel Aggerholm passed through Chi- cago July 31 on his way to New York for a trip to Europe. He expects to be away two months. Charley Ernie is at West Baden, Ind., for his vacation. A. L. Randall was at home August 3 from Michigan, where he is spending the summer, as usual, on his fruit farm. He says the peach crop is nothing to brag about, but that grapes are doing finely.

The Market. The flower trade is quiet, with lots of good roses, Beauties, lilies, gladioli and asters for anyone who wants them, but not much demand. Business is dull among both wholesalers and retailers. Various Notes. From present indications, a large dele- gation from Pittsburg will attend the S. A. P. convention at Niagara Falls. Quite a number of ladies will be in the party. The transportation committee has arranged with the P. & L. E. R.

A report of the death of Christian Bieger wUl be found in this week's obituary column. Hoo-Hoo. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The wholesale market has been quiet of late, and midsummer dullness has set in for good among the retailers, who are doing nothing except funeral work and cleaning up for the opening of the season early next month. Until then, reports from here will be the same as above. The same report fits with the whole- salers. They seem to have plenty of stock on hand each morning. Asters in all colors now hold the boards and there sure plenty of them on hand to fill any order that may come in. Beauties from young stock are coming in finely and more than the local trade can use. Other roses, too, are more plentiful. White carnations from the field are coming bet- ter, pink and red poor.

Siegel, who with his wife is spending his vacation at Mackinac Is- land, writes to some of his friends that his head is rapidly becoming naked, not on account of business, but because the fish don't bite to suit him. The members of the Florists' Club should not fail to attend the meeting of the club Thursday afternoon, August 13, at 2 p. m. It is the duty of every mem- ber to.be present at this meeting, as there will be the election of officers, the secre- tary's report and the payment of annual dues.. This meeting, too, will be bene- ficial to those going to the S. A. P. con- vention. A vote will also be taken on the proposition to hold the club meetings in the evening hereafter. A full attendance is looked for. J. J. B. SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. Gustav Schneider severed his connec- tion with the Springfield Floral Co. Au- gust 1. Mr. Schneider has held the po- sition of superintendent and general manager of that concern for the last five years. He also has a greenhouse on South Center boulevard. He has been in the cut flower business only since last fall, but in that time has built up a good trade. Mr. Schneider entered the greenhouse business when only 15 years old, in the George H. Mellen Co. plant. He was also employed at the Schmidt & Botley greenhouses for a number of years. When the Springfield Floral Co. incorporated, about five years ago, Mr. Schneider ac- cepted the position from which he has just resigned. He was also a stockholder and director of the Springfield Floral Co. Mr. Schneider recently purchased the Patrick Agnew. greenhouses, located on. East Johnson avenue, which will be used to grow fancy grades of peonies and phlox, and other plants for which there is a demand. Plans have already been laid for the building of a greenhouse about 35x400 feet, which will be erected next summer and will be used for grow- ing a fancy grade of carnations. Omaha, Neb. — Lewis Henderson, who is state vice-president for the S. A. P., Fays that the florists of Omaha and Ne- braska are doing well; prosperity seems to be all around. While business is a lit- tle quiet just now, everyone is busy pre- paring-for next season, which is expected to be the best yet. AsHEViLLE, N. C. — It is stated that negotiations are now in progress for the sale of the property of the Idlewild Floral Co., on Charlotte street, and that if the deal is closed the property will be subdivided into lots and improved for sale. The property includes about 700 feet frontage on Charlotte street and embraces nineteen acres, and by reason of its situation, adjoining the Manor and opposite Grove park, is quite valu- able. It is now owned by Mrs. C. T. C. Deake and J. W, C. Deake. I , .Mi 22 The Weekly Florists' Review* August 6, 1008.

The cut flower market, while quiet, is normal, the consensus of opinion being that July was equal to or ahead of the same month last year. There is little change in the conditions surrounding the principal varieties on the cut flower list since last week. Cattleyas have advanced in price. They can still be obtained in moderate quantity. Lilium Harrisii is seen in most of the leading wholesale houses. The quality is excellent, demand fair. Valley is probably the most plen- tiful of the choicer flowers. The quality is as fine, or finer, than has ever been seen in this- market in midsummer. Asters are the ruling summer flowers. While there is general complaint of poor quality, there are large quantities of really fine stock on the market. The Ostrich Plume variety continues favorite, with some excellent Semple's Branching as a good second. Gladioli have taken a tumble. The choice named varieties still command fair prices, but ordinary stock is cheap and extremely difficult to mar- ket. Sweet peas are excellent, but by no means plentiful, locally grown stock being practically over. Outdoor flowers and greens are abundant. There is no change in the rose and carnation situa- tion. Philadelphia to Niagara. The Florists' Club expects to take the train at 8:25 a. m., on the Pennsylvania railroad, Monday, August 17, arriving at Niagara Falls at 9:05 that evening. An excursion ticket, good until August 25, will cost $14.80 for the round trip. The Hotel Imperial, at $3 a day, and Temperance Hotel, are recommended by the committee. Arrangements should be made in advance. The Sorprise of the Week. It was announced on the street late this week that Fox's uptown store, at Twenty-first and Columbia avenue, is for sale. This announcement caused con- siderable surprise, the store having been established by C. H. Fox seventeen years ago and being evidently prosperous. The most progressive paper, being determined to learn for its readers the why and wherefore of this move, went to head- quarters for information; a somewhat difficult matter, you will say, for Mr. Fox is enjoying the fruits of his labor in Europe. Despite this fact, the Review is able to announce authoritatively that Charles Henry Fox finds the weight of two flower shops, with their large busi- ness responsibilities, too heavy. He there- fore decided to offer one of them for sale, the older shop at Twenty-first and Columbia avenue, retaining possession of the newer, the Sign of the Rose, at Broad and Walnut streets. You will want to know how the most progressive paper was able to obtain this information. In answer I will give you a little story of George D. Clark's: Mr. Clark says that when American missionaries and residents in China were thought to be in peril during the recent Boxer uprising, considerable anxiety was felt in this country. Whitelaw Reid, edi- tor of the New York Tribune, determined to find out their fate, and after trying the usual channels without success he then cabled direct to Li Hung Chang. Result: The Tribune was able to assure its readers of the safety of our country- men. Moral: Go to headquarters for infor- mation, no matter what the cost. Latest Improvements at Wyncote. The Joseph Heacock Co., of Wyncote, has just successfully completed an ex- tensive building operation of a difficult nature. This consists in removing the dividing walls and partitions between eighteen houses, large and small, throw- ing all into one open, glass-covered space 90x275. To do this it was necessary to take out the north side sashbars and plate, as well as the post, on one line of houses, using in their place a longer sashbar, covering not only the back of a wide house but a small house also. These sashbars now rest on a cypress gutter between this house and the next. This gutter is supported by 2-inch galvanized iron pipe-posts bolted on to the gutter and set in five feet of concrete. These pipe-posts are set five feet apart, making a strong and not expensive support that economizes room and admits light. This remodeled range will be quite a departure from established ideas in its contents. The houses in this section rise one above the other on the side of a hill, the lower benches being devoted to the company's new rose-colored carnation now christened Dorothy Gordon. The next benches are filled with the popular Irish rose, Killarney, 5,000 plants all in thrifty condition, while the upper benches are filled with as pretty a lot of kentias as one could wish to see. Mr. Heacock believes that the proper temperature for each variety of plant can be maintained without partitions. If, however, this proves to be a mistake, sash with burlap or shading cloth can* be used along the post lines. Another improvement on the place is a new house 20x67 just built for Cypri- pedium insigne. Some 900 plants in thrifty condition fill the house. The cyps have now become so important a flower in the market that they are deemed worthy of a special house all to them- selves. The kentias are finer and more numer- ous than ever before. The cedar tub for larger sizes has evidently come to stay, as there ^re more 9-inch and 12-inch ken- tias in tubs than last year. The best decorators are gradually finding out the advantages of tubs over pots for deco- rative sizes. It would be difficult to imagine a prettier sight than the kentia houses filled with clean, thrifty plants, deep green in color, and shapely. Other features of interest are some beautiful specimens of Cybotium Schiedei and some imported cattleyas added to those tried last year. In the present car- nation houses Dorothy Gordon is still AUGUST 6, 1908.

The steamer Albano was damaged by a, fire that occurred on the Washington street wharf on the night of July 31. Both M. Rice & Co. and H. Bayersdorfer & Co., who had large consignments of novelties on the steamer, were fortu- nately able to remove their cases in the afternoon before the fire occurred. Vis- itors to the convention at Niagara Falls will, therefore, not be deprived of seeing the Philadelphia novelties from these two great houses, which are always a feature of the exhibition. Among the visitors in this city re- cently, reported by H. Bayersdorfer & Co., were Charles Netsch, Buffalo, N. Y. ; Charles Robinson and Joseph Margolis, of the firm of Henry Robinson & Co., Bos- ton; Charles Munro, New Haven, Conn. Henry Eichholz, of Waynesboro, Pa., was a visitor in this city a few days ago. Mr. Eichholz was on his way from Quebec to Atlantic City. It was' just fourteen years ago, August 1, that Leo Niessen started in business as a wholesale commission florist. Mr. Nies- sen's success in building up a large and prosperous business has been remarkable. The Henry F. Michell Co. reports large sales on its special brand of pulverized sheep manure. H. Bayersdorfer and Mrs. Bayersdorfer expect to sail from Cherbourg, France, for home, August 6. Leo Niessen and Arthur A. Niessen recently visited the greenhouses of Albin Harvey & Sons, at Brandywine Summit. They found the varieties grown indoors all summer in magnificent shape, prom- ising splendid results for the coming sea- son. About half of the place is being planted with field-grown stock, also in fine condition. The planting should be finished before these notes appear. The varieties grown include Winsor, Beacon, Enchantress, Rose-pink Enchantress, Mar- shall's white seedling, Victory, and sev- THE Florists' Supply House of America An Lp-t6-date Novelty We have just received an importation of Aeroplane Baskets, suit- able for table decoration.

Marshall's, at, I think, Willowdale, and William J. Palmer & Son 's, at Mendenhall. Both places were full of interest. At the last named place all the carnations were grown from rooted cuttings that had been purchased. The stock was in exceptionally fine con- dition. The Messrs. Palmer had some trouble with their carnations two years ago. Last year they devoted their place to tomatoes, but this year decided to re- turn to carnations. There is every indi- cation that success will attend their ef- forts. William J. Baker is receiving some choice Queen Louise carnations. Martin Reukauf, with H.

Roses of all kinds are in heavier supply. Beauties are com- ing well and sell out clean. Pink roses seem to have the call over white, for some reason. The market is well sup- plied with gladioli and this is the main flower used for window display. They are effective for this purpose and some of the newer sorts are certainly beautiful. We have been having some very hot weather and it has been using up the outdoor flowers in this district to a cer- tain extent. Many growers report the aster crop as almost a failure and this is one of the reasons that asters are such good property now. It is dry in the country and we are sadly in need of a good soaking rain, but the weather man says there is none in sight for a while at least. Various Notes. Taft notification day brought a great crowd to this city. The city was in holi- day dress, with a profusion of flags and bunting. This afforded the stores an op- portunity to arrange effective window displays and they all took advantage of it. The Walnut Hills Floral Bazaar had an especially attractive window, as did Julius Baer, Hardesty'& Co. and the Blecher Floral Co. Taft's picture, draped with American flags and surrounded with palms and vases of flowers, 'was used by most. The Florists' Society will hold its next meeting August 8, at R. Witterstaetter 's. It will be called to order at 3 p. m. The evening will be devoted to bowling. In- vitations will be sent to all florists about the city and it is expected that a large crowd will be present. The final arrange- ments for inviting the S. A. F. to meet in this city in 1909 will be made and everything will be in readiness for our delegation to attend the convention and make a strong plea for the next meeting. E. G.

The dull season through which we are now passing gives plenty of chances to the florists to repair or build their green- houses and maiiy are busy at it. Ihe weather has been rainy, and where the chrysanthemums have not been really damaged by too much water their growth has been rapid in the last two or three weeks. They are well advanced for this time. Mrs. Robinson, the sort which is the most cultivated, is almost ready to show buds. As this flower is the most needed for November 1, the proper time to take the buds is about August 15, as they take fully sixty days to open. B. M. Wichers, of Gretna, a little town on the Mississippi river, opposite New Orleans, is adding to his specialty ot nephrolepis ferns the culture of hardy palms on an extensive scale. He had purchased some years ago eighty acres of ground on the Bayou Barataria, con- nected with the Mississippi river by locks, thirty miles from New Orieans and the first piece of high ground on the way from the Gulf of Mexico. The . situation is ideal as to soil and climate for the culture of phcenix, washingtonias, chamserops and the like. Communication with the city not being very reliable, Mr. Wichers found out that the best plan for him was to have his own boat. So he has just finished building a 35-foot naphtha launch, the Lotus, which will carry him and his products from his set- tlement to the market in a few hours. M. M.L.

There is great need for rain in all the seed growing districts. The first French bulbs are expected to arrive at New York during the present week. Henky Nungesser & Co., New York, had 200 bags of grass seeds on the last steamer from Havre. The seed trade will be interested in the report of the English sweet pea show on pages 10 and 11.

Noethrup, who is president of the board of park commissioners at Minneapolis, is down for an address of welcome to the American Association of Park Superintendents when that body opens its annual convention at Minneapo- lis August 11. J. F. Sinn, secretary of the A. A. Berry Seed Co., Clarinda, la., wrote, Aug- ust 4: "Corn is looking very well, con- sidering the unfavorable spring. The timothy seed crop will not be extra heavy, but' there will be considerable seed shipped from this section." L. H. Archias, president of the Ar- chias Seed Store, Sedalia, Mo., and J. C. Archias, of Barteldes Seed Co., Denver, were registered this week at the Great Northern hotel, Chicago. They arrived at New York July 31, on the S. S. Lusi- tania, from a two months' trip in Eu- rope. PEAS AND BEANS. Writing under date of August 1, E. M. Parmelee, president of the John H. Allan Seed Co., Sheboygan, Wis., said: "There is little that can be said at the present time regarding the pea and bean crop. The . weather is extremely dry and has been for the last three weeks, and the pea louse has now made its appearance, and damaged some fields, to what extent we are unable to say. Of course, this damage can only apply to the late crops. Many of the early crops have gone into the bams in nice shape, and the condition of these vrill, in a measure, make up any loss that may come to the later crops." WATERMELON. Writing under date of August 1, D. H. Gilbert, of Monticello, Fla., said: "I have given considerable time and attention to the inspection of the melons, and, as the harvest season is now on, be- lieve I can make a close estimate as to the yield. From present outlook there will be about an average crop. My own crop consists of about 600 acres, from which I am expecting to get about 70,000 pounds, and this is about an average of other crops in this section; however, nearly all late crops of watermelons have practically failed, owing to the continued THE EVERETT B.

CLOVER IN OREGON. A correspondent at Hubbard, Ore., sends the following: "Among the new buildings going up here is a warehouse to be used for clean- ing and storing clover seed. The build- ing, for which the foundation is laid and lumber on the ground, is to be 36x60 and is being erected by Hershberger Bros. The building is to contain a specially con- structed cleaner of large size, which it is claimed will remove all weed seeds from clover. ^^ "The growing of clover seed has as- sumed large proportions in this vicinity the last few years. Five or six threshers are kept busy for two months threshing seed, all of which must be recleaned for market. Some of the larger growers have fanning mills suited for cleaning clover seed, but heretofore many have been compelled to market the seed just as it came from the separator. The central cleaning plant and storehouse now being erected will be a boon to the smaU grower, for here he can, for a few cents a bushel, have the seed cleaned and stored until such time as he sees fit to seU. "Hershberger Bros, have for several years run a cider mill and also a feed mill at this place, and the new line of business will work well with their estab- lished trade." CLOVER SEED IN CONNECTICUT. Legitimate seedsmen are much in- terested in the efforts being made in many states to stamp out the practice of adulterating grass and other seeds, for such effort leads to the general good of the regular seed trade. The Connecticut Experiment Station is doing much work in testing clover seed. It obtained fifty-one samples of seed sold in Connecticut. These samples were tested for weed seeds, and also to see what per cent of the clover seed would germinate, and the results are set forth in a recent bulletin. Forty-one of the samples had more or less dodder. Of one sample there were 44,522 weed seeds in a pound. In another sample there were 78,604 weed seeds in one pound. Another thing waa the low quality of the clover itself. It has been demonstrated that the heaviest seeds give the strong- est plants during early growth, and in most cases largest yields. This Con- necticut bulletin states that clover seed of average quality should run 302,000 to the pound. While lighter seed may give a greater number of plants, a greater proportion of them would die out or do poorly. In twenty-six out of fifty-one samples the seeds weighed less than the standard. As for vitality, the average of these fifty-one Connecticut samples was 86.6 per cent. One sample was so poor that only 48.1 per cent of the seed was clover, and only eighty-four per cent of that would sprout. Three samples were evidently adulterated with Black medic. Seed of this plant is imported from Ger- Send for Price List of Florists' Bulbs, Flower Seeds and Supplies YUESS GARDENS CO., 91 Water St. NEWBURGH, N. Y: Mention The Review when you write. many expressly to adulterate clover seed. In one sample there were 11,615 seeds of dodder in one pound. The Connecticut authorities inquire: "What are we going to do about it?" They give the following advice: "Begin now by urging local seeds- men to buy and pay for only such clover and alfalfa seed as the wholesaler will guarantee to be free from dodder, and to have a sprouting power of eighty-five per cent and purity of ninety-five per cent. Such seed will cost more than the mixed or low-grade seed, and will be worth much more than the difference. Do not buy clover seed until you have had its vitality and purity tested by the Experiment Station, and both are found satisfactory. There is some pure seed in the market, and there will be plenty of it when inferior seed finds no buyers." IMPORTS. The imports of seed through the port of New York for the week ending July 25 were as follows: Kind. PkK8. Val. Kind. Pkgs. Val.

THE STOECKER SEED CO. Bef erring to the incorporation of the Stoecker Seed Co., at Peoria, 111., re- ported in last week's Eeview, the Peoria Transcript says: • . "A charter petition was filed with the secretary of state yesterday by L. F. Stoecker, president of the Weber Seed Co.; K. and N. W. Stoecker, promoters of industries, and Ernie Nuzicker, live stock dealer, to engage in the raising and selling of all kinds of garden, field and flower seeds, trees, shrubbery and implements, foreign as well as domestic, and to do a general grain, flower and seed business, wholesale and retail. "June 18, 1863, C. A. Taylor, of this city, opened a seed store in con- nection with farmers' implements. He sold his seed business to Sery & Bouse in 1865. The firm was changed a few years later to Bouse & Hassat, and in 1897 Andrew Weber & Son bought it, continuing in business until March 5, 1902, when L. F.

B ships the bulbs in April. After sixty days B sends a statement marked "Please remit." In reply A sends one- tenth the amount and returns the unsold portion of the bulbs July 1. Can B hold A for the balance of the shipment? T. There is little data on which to base an opinion. One wishing to make such an arrangement as is suggested by this inquiry would be expected, and required, to make his wishes unmistakably clear. There is nothing in the inquiry to indi- cate that there was telephone conversa- tion between A and B on the point of supplying merchandise to sell on consign- ment, nor is it stated that A had previ- ously had merchandise from B on con- gignment or to dispose of on commission, nor is it stated that it is the custom of B to so send out merchandise with the privilege of returning the unsold portion. If all the facts have been stated it would appear that A trusted to the discretion of B in the matter of the quantity to be sent, accepted the merchandise without protest and could only return a part of it by the. seller's grace after payment became due. SPECmC DUTIES WANTED. The seed trade is not alone in wishing the new tariff law to provide for specific duties rather than ad valorem duties. From many lines of business the demand for the change is heard and tariff ex- perts regard the present ad valorem duties as the source of much of the cur- rent criticism of the tariff, and hold that a large saving in the cost of adminis- tration would be made if the specific system could become more general. Our present rates of duty, while fol- lowing both the specific and ad valorem system, are predominantly of the latter variety.

Under most favorable condition the plants will not reach over four feet in radiating. "The plants are very prolific. Three quarts to the one kernel planted is an average yield. ' ' They require a well prepared soil, six to eight inches deep and not too sandy — a soil that is retentive of mois- ture. They want Hme and potash, which are best given by using acid phosphate in the trench before covering the seed. They must have good, clean cultivation until the laterals drop. Plant three feet apart each way, from March 15 to May. Harvest in October, or after light frost, •which checks growth and ripens the nuts.

If you want mignonette for a winter crop, the seed can be sown early in Au- gust, either in benches or solid beds, the latter being the better. Compost such as you would use for chrysanthemums or carnations, viz., a mixture of good loam and one- fourth of well rotted cow or horse manure, will grow good mignonette. This plant must have its roots cool and moist and needs plenty of fresh air at all times. A night temperature in win- ter as near 40 degrees as possible is about right.

This causes several side shoots to appear. Select the best of these. These will in turn need some dis- budding. Feed quite liberally with liquid manure when the benches or beds are well filled with foots. Toward spring give a mulch of rotted manure, if you run the crop for a long season. Be careful in fumigating. Mignon- ette is easily damaged by tobacco smoke. Better avoid the use of burnt stems. Try one of the liquid extracts, papers or dust, but always let the dose be a mild one. Teinperature, soil and other conditions suiting violets will answer well for mignonette, provided the house is a light one.

Trade has been good among the florists this summer, in spite of the dullness in other lines of business. Many strangers are in the city at this season of the^ear, which enlivens trade. Visitors are here from Philadelphia, New York and Bos- ton to seek the cooling breezes of Lake Erie. Varioui Notes. W. O. Baur has returned from a ten days' visit at Toledo, O. Mrs. Lena Auffinger, sister of Henry A. Niemeyer, died July 30 and was buried Sunday afternoon. Many beautiful floral designs were seen at the funeral. The local florists remembered the family with offerings. Mrs. Auffinger had been em- ployed at Henry Niemeyer 's flower store up to a few years ago. She will be missed among the trade. Vern Schluraff, formerly with Schluraff Floral Co., has built new greenhouses on West Eighth street. He is conducting a wholesale place and reports business good. Floral Park is the name of the new place. B. P. TOLEDO, OHIO. State of Trade. Without exception, Toledo florists have had a good trade during the last week. A large number of funerals occurred. The opening of the Secor hotel, Toledo's new million-dollar hostelry, showed the best efforts of every florist in the city. The hotel was a bower of flowers, which were a credit to every one of the local florists. The incoming stock is of exceptional summer quality. Gladioli and asters are largely used and most of these are home- grown. VariotJs Notes. Mrs. Suder furnished a beautiful bas- ket at the Secor opening; 200 American Beauties were used, the handle of aura- tum lilies. A mammoth horseshoe, designed by Mrs. Freeman, was made by Geo. Heinl, in which 1,500 American Beauties were used, and a lot of foliage. F. Schoen presented the Secor Hotel Co. with a basket, in which two wooden shoes were placed, surrounded by Killar- ney roses. At the Trost-Snyder wedding the bride carried a shower bouquet of stephanotis and wore flowers of the same sort in her hair. This idea was suggested by E. Suder. Many local florists have received ship- ments of roses from the Fostoria Floral Co. and report that they were as good as could be expected at this season. At the funeral of Jos.

State of Business. Summer quietness has been the experi- ence of the last week, with the excep- tion of funeral work, which breaks the spell occasionally, but for all that, busi- ness has been fairly good and compares favorably with last year. Weather con- ditions have been variable, but mostly warm, the humidity being greater than usual for Denver. Flowers are not over- plentiful, excepting sweet peas, which are abundant and can be had for $1 per thousand. Asters are also fairly plentiful, and some good ones are seen, especially in white and pink. Carnations are still with us and are good for so late in the season, the ruling price being 1% cents and 2 cents. Boses, while they are still to be had, .are not of exceptional quality. Beau- ties are getting better every day and are almost enough for the demand. Dahlias have appeared, and some are good, but there is nothing yet to create much de- mand. There is now plenty of green — bunches of asparagus about twice the size of the winter standard with the price about the same. As yet we hear little talk of the con- vention, and no great number are talk- ing of attending. J. A.' Valentine, how- ever, is one who seldom misses. E. S. K. PEORIA, ILL. Current Comment Work on the four new greenhouses being built by D. U. Augspurger & Sons is progressing. M. D. Augspurger, su- perintendent of the growing department, reports their July business far in excess of that of the same month last year. The firm has just received a large shipment of bay trees and palms. Frank Jerabek disposed of a large lot of 2-inch Mme. Salleroi and Sprengeri to a local wholesale firm. Walter Craig, with D. U. Augspurger & Sons, was on the sick list the first part of the week. M. D. Augspurger was a business caller at Pekin, 111., Friday. He secured a quantity of stock from Mrs. Schwab, of Cedar Park. The heat in Peoria and vicinity dur- ing the last week has been intense, mak- ing work under glass very uncomfortable. Mr. Miller, of Prospect Heights, a Peoria suburb, will plant nothing but carnations and violets this year. Mr. Miller has achieved a wide reputation as a violet grower. H. C. B. The will of James Cole, deceased, has been admitted to probate, but the local papers say there is every indication that it will be contested, as one son, Joseph, was cut off without a penny. The estate is valued at many thousands of dollars, the personal property alone being worth $15,000. James Cole, Jr., and Nelson Cole are the sole heirs, the estate being divided equally between them. It is ex- pected that the disinherited son will at- tempt to break the will.

Trade has been good among the florists this summer, in spite of the dullness in other lines of business. Many strangers are in the city at this season of tha^year, which enlivens trade. Visitors are here from Philadelphia, New York and Bos- ton to seek the cooling breezes of Lake Erie. Various Notes. W. O. Baur has returned from a ten days' visit at Toledo, O. Mrs. Lena Auffinger, sister of Henry A. Niemeyer, died July 30 and was buried Sunday afternoon. Many beautiful floral designs were seen at the funeral. The local florists remembered the family with offerings. Mrs. Auffinger had been em- ployed at Henry Niemeyer 's flower store up to a few years ago. She will be missed among the trade.

The opening of the Seeor hotel, Toledo's new million-dollar hostelry, showed the best efl'orts of every florist in the city. The hotel was a bower of flowers, which were a credit to every one of the local florists. The incoming stock is of exceptional summer quality. Gladioli and asters are largely used and most of these are home- grown. Various Notes. Mrs. Suder furnished a beautiful bas- ket at the Secor opening; 200 American Beauties were used, the handle of aura- tum lilies. A mammoth horseshoe, designed by Mrs. Freeman, was made by Geo. Hcinl in which 1,500 American Beauties wore used, and a lot of foliage. F. Sehoen presented tlie Secor Hotel Co. with a basket, in which two wooden shoes were placed, surrounded by Killar- ney roses. At the Trost-Snyder wedding the bride carried a shower bouquet of stephanotis, and wore flowers of the same sort in her hair. This idea was suggested by E. Suder. Many local florists have received ship- ments of ro.ses from the Fostoria Floral Co. and report that they were as good as could be expected at this season. At the funeral of Jos.

Summer quietness has been the experi- ence of the last week, with the excep- tion of funeral work, which breaks the spell occasionally, but for all that, busi- ness has been fairly good and compares favorably with last year. Weather con- ditions have been variable, but mostly warm, the humidity being greater than usual for Denver. Flowers are not over- plentiful, excepting sweet peas, which are abundant and can be had for $1 per thousand. Asters are also fairly plentiful, and some good ones are seen, especially in white and pink. Carnations are still with us and are good for so late in the season, the ruling price being IY2 cents and 2 cents. Koses, while they are still to be had, are not of exceptional quality. Beau- ties are getting better every day and are almost enough for the demand. Dahlias have appeared, and some are good, but there is nothing yet to create much de- mand. There is now plenty of green — bunches of asparagus about twice the size of the winter standard with the price about the same. As yet we hear little talk of the con- vention, and no great number are talk- ing of attending. J. A.- Valentine, how- ever, is one who seldom misses. E. S. K. PEORIA, ILL. Cturent Comment. Work on the four new greenhouses being built by D. U. Augspurger & Sons is progressing. M. D. Augspurger, su- perintendent of the growing department, reports their July business far in excess of that of the same month last year. The firm has just received a large shipment of bay trees and palms. Frank Jerabek disposed of a large lot of 2-inch Mme. Salleroi and Sprengeri to a local wholesale firm. Walter Craig, with D. U. Augspurger & Sons, was on the sick list the first part of the week. M. D. Augspurger was a business caller at Pekin, 111., Friday. He secured a quantity of stock from Mrs. Schwab, of Cedar Park. The heat in Peoria and vicinity dur- ing the last week has been intense, mak- ing work under glass very uncomfortable.

Vegetable Forcing. DRY ROT ON TOMATOES, ' I noticed an article on the "Dry Eot on Tomatoes" in the Keview of July 23, and should like to add a few sug- gestions in regard to this disease. I think the writer must refer to the blos- som end rot, although he may have some other trouble in mind. He states, how- ever, that the disease is not contagious, although he advises as a remedy that all affected fruit should be removed. This would hardly be necessary if the dis- ease were not contagious, except to re- lieve the plant of the burden of the af- fected fruit. It is not at all unlikely that your correspondent's tomatoes are affected with the blossom end rot. We have been making observations on this disease and carrying on many ex- periments for a number of years, and have found it to be caused by a bacterial organism which gains entrance to the imperfectly formed, tissue at the style end of the tomato plant, causing a rot. Such fungi as fusarium, macrosporium and others often accompany the rot. It is known that it is more common outdoors during dry than wet seasons, showing the relationship between water supply and the rot. Prof. Selby, of Ohio, has shown that applying water to the soil when the fruit is setting is beneficial in checking the disease, and our experiments, covering a number of years, have demonstrated practically the same thing. In a green- house, however, there are other factors which come into play; for instance, ex- cessive transpiration must be checked, as rotting may occur even with consid- erable water in the soil when this is not done. Proximity to steam pipes also causes rotting. In the ordinary green- house, however, where there is a certain degree of saturation and plenty of water in the soil, the dry rot is of minor con- sequence. We have found that in a house of more or less dry atmosphere the rot occurred rather freely on the front rows, which have good light, but on the shaded rows behind these scarcely any rotting occurred. Sunlight increases transpiration, and when this is active the fruit does not obtain enough water to develop freely. In growing tomatoes under glass, one has to be careful not to have the air sat- urated too much with moisture, as clado- sporium is likely to be troublesome. It is well, however, to have the atmosphere pretty moist on bright, sunshiny days, and at night let the house run more or less dry. It is not advisable to use com- mercial fertilizers, such as nitrate of soda, on the soil, as they restrict root absorption and limit the supply of water for transpiration, this indirectly induc- ing conditions favorable to rot. We have found the best remedy for the blossom end rot to consist of supply- ing the soil freely with water at the time the fruit is setting. Keeping the atmos- phere more or less moist and planting closely enough so that there will be shade for the plants is also advised. In an ordinary house, with ground beds, there is little diflSculty in maintaining proper moisture conditions of the soil and air, which will prevent rot. For outdoor treatment, irrigation is one of the best remedies. G. E. Stone. A BED OF MUSHROOMS Raised from our Spawn, will bear lonKer and yield better tban from any other variety of Spawn.

There can be none before September, Prin- cipals, lieutenants, gentle stenographers and the rank and file all have been or are away recuperating and preparing for the autumnal revival. With its formed and prospective aggregations of retailers, growers and plantsmen, we may look for a strenuous fall and winter. Fortunately, optimism is rampant. I hear no proph- ecies of ill. Everybody is expecting to ride on the coming wave of prosperity. Through the panic and depression few florists gave up the fight. Some have held on by their finger tips, some have skated on thin ice, but they are all here and ready for the reaction and the good times, when the great harvests are safely housed and the election tur- moil at an end. In the meantime the wise florist will take a hopeful view of the future and make his plans on the sane and safe basis of sure prosperity. The weather is ideal now and danger of a vegetable famine is past. Stock of the florists in the field is growing rap- idly and looking well. Asters are com- ing now in shoals, and there is not much for the patient grower in the superfluous grades. First-class varieties still yield $2 per hundred. It should be easy to draw the proper lesson from this intimation. It is the best of any- thing that pays. There must be nearly a million gladioli coming to New York every day. Every wholesale house is full of them; 50 cents per hundred is bottom, and a few of the new varieties and America bring from 2 cents to 3 cents. Thousands are thrown away every night, so slight is the demand. There is really no call for anything ex- cept the special Beauties. These com- mand 25 cents and up and the stores which use them ask for fifty and receive about twelve as their share of the ar- rivals. Plenty of lilies continue to come to town. Auratum is especially fine. Cat- tleyas and oncidiums are in good de- mand.

There were seventy present and for a while they all forgot the strenuous season of 1907 and 1908, and enjoyed their outing with a hilarity and harmony that it was inspir- ing to look upon. As usual, the single men won the honors of the, ball game. The shore dinner was up to 'the Wetzel Point reputation and gave general satis- faction. Especially was the fraternal feeling in evidence and the merchants of the Coogan building are firm believers in the value of brotherly unison and mutual help and sympathy. Many of the whole- salers bought tickets for the occasion and helped to make it a financial success. The committee, Messrs. Dorval, Hahn and Golsner, worked hard and won the ap- probation of all. The members of the exchange and guests were: Anton Schultheis, W. H. Siebrecht, John Donaldson, Charles Mil- lang, E. Dorval, V. Dorval, F. Feldscher, H. JKeke, O. Klowmuller, E. Schultheis, J.

Let him know at once if you are going in the special D., L. & W. train at 10 a, m., foot of Barclay street, Mon- day, August 17, and do not forget the date or the hour. There will be room and entertainment for all. The New York Florists' Club will maintain its reputation for hospitality and Caterer Will Bickards will do the honors in his usual affable style. President Traendly is the busiest wholesaler just now; he is writing the annual address. George Saltford returns Wednesday of this week from his outing in Dutchess county. August 3 all the valuable papers stolen from Mr. Saltford 's store were found in the excavation of the Pennsyl- vania railroad and returned to him, so that the loss is of little account and the burglar has had a lesson as to Twenty- eighth street during July and August that should prevent any further attempts during the wholesalers' moulting season. Benedict Ford is again on deck and William Ford, of Ford Bros., is enjoy- ing his second outing in the Pennsyl- vania mountains. A. J. Langjahr and family are at Lake George. New York papers devoted some space last week to a denunciation of crepe pull- ers in Brooklyn and handled these gen- try without gloves, calling them human vultures and showing up their diabolical methods unsparingly. The Retail Flo- rists' Association has taken up the griev- ance officially and will end it by the widest publicity possible. Michel, of Mallon's, gave the World reporter a warm statement of the facts. James McManus says that from now on there will be a good supply of orchids, including Cattleya gigas, Gaskelliana, Harrisonise, Lselia elegans, Phalsenopsis amabilis, Dendrobium formosum, Vanda caerulea and Oncidium varicosum.

Florists' Review When Writins: Adv< ''1111 42 The Weekly Florists^ Review* AuonsT 6, 1908. PACIFIC COAST. HiLLSBORO, Ore. — W. H. Morton, of the Hillsboro Plant & Flower Gardens, has had a busy season. He says he has what is acknowledged to be the "crack" calla lily bed of this western country, for florists and Southern Pacific officials 80 affirm. Spokane, Wash. — J. H. Mumm, man- ager of the Inland Nursery & Floral Co., has gone east to select some late and rare trees and shrubs for the private park of Louis Davenport, as well as to look after the general purchase of such stock for the nursery company. Mr. Mumm is one of the most expert land- scape gardeners and florists in the west. He learned the work in Germany. He was formerly city florist and is one of the pioneer nurserymen of Spokane. SAN FHANOSCO. The Market Business during last week did not show any signs of improvement. The commencing of the city schools has brought many people back to town and there is a possibility that before long things may brighten. There is quite a scarcity of colored stock in the line of roses, and everything offered that has any merit whatever is quickly bought. Other material, however, moves slowly and the prices are away down. Sweet peas have become scarcer and of somewhat poor quality. Amaryllis has made its appearance and costs the stores $2 to $4 per hundred. Valley and Japanese lilies of all kinds remain quiet. Carnations are overplen- tiful and range in price from $1 to $4 per hundred. Outside grown tuberoses are being sent in from interior places. Asters of some of the earliest sorts have had a limited sale already. Of the later flowered va- rieties the acreage is about up to that of last year, and all the patches I have seen give evidence of an abundant har- vest soon. Chrysanthemums, also, are looking splendid in the fields and may be expected about a couple of weeks earlier than those of last year. In looking over some of the patches devoted to violet growing last year, I have discovered that a good many grow- ers will not plant for that purpose for the coming season. According to some of the largest Italian growers, the crop was not a well paying proposition and already a considerable acreage has been replanted to other stock. Cut asparagus and maidenhair fern, after having been among the scarcest articles in the florists' department, have suddenly become plentiful, to the intense delight of those retailers who had difficulty in keeping a sufficient quantity on hand for general purposes. The weather continues cool in the vicinity of San Francisco, with no signs of a warm spell in the immediate fu- ture. Various Notes. William J. Graham, the mushroom grower of East Oakland, will double his growing capacity for the coming sea- son. He is one of the few successful growers on the coast. gSoveral Japanese firms in the neighbor- Calla Bulbs ready to ship New Calla— PEARL OF SIliTTGART Introduced In Germany 6 yearB ago.

JAPANESE COMPETITION. As the Japanese growers become more and more numerous in the vicinity of our large Pacific coast towns, the effect on trade in general, aqd f on greenhouse stock in particular, can be gradually fig- ured out. Leaving the handling of Japa- nese plants out of the question and con- fining our attention entirely to the cut flower aspect, a few facts must neces- sarily first force themselves to view. It is practically within the last decade, and principally within the latter half of it, that Japanese growers have forced notice on themselves and have produced enough stock so that comparisons could.be drawn between them and other wholesalers. They have confined their ambitions to roses, carnations, lilies and valley, with a few side issues in the way of poinsettias, ferns and chrysanthemums. ' With the growing of roses they have had practically no success, except in isolated instances and then usually at the time of year when prices were low and stock abundant. An effort is being made by some of the larger Japanese growers to supplant their own help with white growers, and in several instances they have succeeded in placing white foremen at the head of their greenhouse crews, in the hope, apparently, that some of the necessary knowledge might be imparted and that the successful growing mierht continue after the white garden- ers had left for other pastures.

It is perfectly safe to sum up the rose growing question by saying that, up to the present time, the Japanese have cut absolutely no figure in it, and unless they have better success in the future than they have had in the past there will be little to fear from their invasion. On the other hand, the ques- tion might be asked: Is there any rea- son why they will not become proficient in the rose growing art after a time, and what then will happen t This is a question that will be answered ten years hence, and it may be that then they will have the upper hand. With carnations, a handful of Japa- nese growers are producing quite as much stock as all the white growers, and all this has happened within the last few years. Their nurseries are as well kept, their greenhouses as well built, and, although the quality of the stock produced is not quite up to the standard set by others, there is so much being cut and brought into town that they practically control the trade, sotoispeak, Paeifie NarMries 8041 Baker St. or,w»f."»«iW.Wj!K?r.v.'W*«W^i«!W AooDST 6, 1908.

They are at the present time building more houses than are the white growers and not a few of them are investing in large pieces of land, with the intention of building later. Several of our large growing places have, within the last year, been leased to Japanese firms and, if the signs of the times are to be reckoned with, it will only be a few years until they will outnumber in the amount of glass devoted to the business two to one. I mentioned that the quality of the flowers produced was not up to the stand- ard in most instances, but the Japanese are wily enough to sell just a little be- low the market price and, by making this a rule, they have gotten quite a hold on the cheaper class of stores and in many places the proprietors buy from them exclusively. Occasionally one sees a Jap who pro- duces fancy stock, but this is a rare condition and they invariably tend to quantity rather than quality. With other kinds of stock, such as mums, lilies and valley, the same con- dition exists and, although they have entered these fields heavily, the stock produced has been, except in a few in- stances, second quality only. I have covered practically all the arti- cles in the cut flower line grown by the Japanese, and from what I have noticed, covering a period of several years of careful watching, my summary at the present time is that thus far the grow- ers of fancy stock have not been hurt by the Japanese invasion, but the grow- ers who seek quantity rather than qual- ity have suffered greatly and will con- tinue to do so, from all appearances. Whether the Japanese will suflSciently gain in knowledge by experience to think less of bulk and more of texture, so that they will tread on the toes of the specialists, remains to be seen, and since there is no amalgamation possible be- tween the races, such a condition would be terrible to contemplate. That they have ambitions along that line there is no doubt, from the fact that they are erecting perfect green- houses and making an effort to man them with white help until they are HuflSciently acquainted with the finer points necessary to compete with their white neighbors, who, as they cannot help but see, are their masters thus far in the game when the consideration is quality. The Japanese are natural horticultur- ists and, when they can broaden them- selves enough to grasp a few more tech- nicalities in the art of flower growing, they will be formidable adversaries and a foe to be reckoned with by the white growers.

His lips and tongue swelled. His tongue so enlarged that he could not speak. After the physician had given Krause three hypodermic in- jections he rallied. This case is unusual, the physician stating that Krause was extraordinarily susceptible to the bee poison. .ORDERS FOR... o M.G.&J.E.HAUSWIRTH WILL BE FILLED B7 Auditorluin Annex 232 Michigan Avenue Telephone, Harrison 686* ■^ti^e^ 644 Madison Ave., just above Fifty-ninth St. J.

There will be a meeting of the Com- mittee of Fifty in Niagara Falls, the afternoon of Thursday, August 20, 1908. This call is issued at the direction of Chairman W. F. Kasting, who requests that each member attend and that each committee be ready with a comprehensive report of work done and suggestions to be offered. The work of the show must be pushed from now until November. On receipt of this notice please commu- nicate with the chairman of your sub- committee and assist him in preparing his report. Publicity. Chairman George Asmus, of the pub- licity committee, urges that all intend- ing exhibitors in the National Flower Show who have new varieties of carna- tions, chrysanthemums, roses or any other flower to enter, or novelties of any na- ture, provide the publicity committee with photographs of the same at the ear- liest possible moment, in order that the novelty may be written up for the news- papers to the benefit of the show and the exhibitor. Considerable advantage may be gained by judgment in the choice of names for new varieties. It is suggested that newspapers show greater interest in new varieties that are named for women of social prominence, and by choosing the name of such a woman in his own local- ity for his novelty, the exhibitor would confer a grateful compliment upon a pos- sible customer and also help along the show. This may seem a small matter, but it is likely to have large effect upon gate receipts. Photographs of the women for whom new varieties are named should be sent to the publicity committee wher- ever possible. Photographs of flowers for newspaper use should be made as large as possible, showing no background and detail as clear cut as can be made. J. H. BuRDETT, Sec'y. WORCESTER, MASS.

A good deal of indignation has been aroused here by the reported decision of the directors of the Art Museum to abolish the Salisbury greenhouses, with their rare and valuable collection of plants, which are still being cared for by Mr. Salisbury's gardener, John Coulson.

Lange. A letter from him, which ap- pears in a local paper, reads in part as follows : "Not taking into consideration any sentimental reasons, John Coulson can give the Worcester Art Museum value received for any salary that they may pay him. I consider him (and I can give you the names of some of the best plantsmen in the country who think the same) the best authority on begonias in the United States. And that is only one of the many species of plants that Mr. Coulson is thoroughly posted on, both as to nomenclature and growing. By all meang save the greenhouses." NEW BEDFORD, MASS. Funeral work has been good, with hard work to get white flowers. Carnations have been thrown out to make room for the young plants. Some of the growers are already planting, while others are get- ting things into shape. The only flowers to be depended upon just now are the asters.

August 6, 1908. A Wonderful New Nephrolepis Nephrolepis Superbissima Introduction of 1908 We desire to call attention to this new fern, which originated with ub and which we are introducing this year. It is a very unique and distinct novelty — as distinct from Nephrolepis Piersoni and Piersoni elegantissima as they were from Bostoniensis. It is, in fact, a complete break. The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnaj over- lapping, making the fronds very dense and compact. It differs from the other Nephrolepis not only in form, but also in color, being a richer and darker green- entirely different from the yellowish green of all the other Nephrolepis. The plant is very sturdy in its habit, the fronds never breaking down. While a photograph shows a similarity to its predecessors, it is absolutely distinct, not only in the formation of the fronds and color, but also in its habit and general characteristics. It makes a much more dwarf and compact growth, the fronds being very dense, firm and rigid, and having a great deal more substance, so that it will stand more knocking around than any other fern of this type. ^ It is a sterling novelty. Experts who have seen it consider it by far the best fern ever sent out. It is a plant that needs to be seen to have its great value and sterling qualities appreciated. It really is not in the same class with the other varieties. It was awarded a I'lfSl'^ClSlSS w61*TlTlCd.X6 by the Royal Horticultural Society at Crystal Palace in London, November, 1908, the plants exhibited there having been shipped from New York two weeks before that time. After being exhibited in London, the same plants were shipped to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they were again awarded a First-class Certificate by the Scottish Horticultural Society. This will indicate the value of the plant as a novelty, and also demonstrates in a very conclusive manner its fine keeping and shipping qualities. We have just begun shipping advance orders, and new orders can now be shipped immediately on receipt. Do not fail to see our exhibit at tlie S. A. F.

THE PARKER GREENHOUSES, Norwalk, 0. Mention The Review when you write. OWOSSO, MICH. Miss May E. Jacobs, the florist on West King street, has a remarkable S. A. Nutt geranium, which has been much no- ticed and admired. Miss Jacobs says of it: "It is about five years old and stands eleven feet high, growing in the ground at the end of a bench. It was the won- der of the season to all who came into our greenhouse last spring. We cut about seventy-five clusters of blooms for Decoration day and it has been loaded with blossoms ever since. We think it is rather unusual to see so large a gera- nium in Michigan." Newport, Va. — Samuel Kevans, of New York, has been appointed chief florist at the National Soldiers' Home, to succeed Charles Lindsay, who resigned the position in order to return to his home in Scotland. Mr. Kevans is ex- pected to come here by September 1. Weehawken, N. J. — After nearly half a century at the same place, Lorentz Sons will move their retail store about September 1 to Bergenline avenue, at Fourth street. This is an excellent loca- tion, next to the Weehawken Trust Co. The greenhouses and wholesale business will remain at the old place.

The executive board of the Maryland State Horticultural Society met July 28 at the mansion at Carroll park, the resi- dence of Charles L. Seybold, the presi- dent of the society, and decided to have the summer meeting September 22, at the nurseries of Eichard Vincent, at White Marsh. The midwinter exhibition and meeting, the principal one of the year, will be held at the Fifth Eegiment Armory December 1 to 3. It was decided to allow persons from other states to compete with Maryland growers in the exhibition, but realizing that it would not do to use any of the state appropria- tion for prizes to foreign exhibitors, it was decided to award diplomas instead. Maryland exhibitors who are fortunate enough to carry off honors will have op- tion of receiving money, medals or di- plomas. R. Vincent, who, with Mrs. Vincent, at- tended the meeting by special invitation, invited the society to hold its summer meeting at his plac6, and the invitation was accepted. Mr. Vincent promised to have on display at the time the finest dis- play of geraniums and dahlias ever seen in Maryland and informed the members that he would afford the society every facility for a successful meeting. It was decided to invite the Maryland Corn Breeders' Association, Maryland State Grange and the Maryland Beekeepers' Association to hold their meetings and exhibitions at the same time in the win- ter that the Horticultural Society meets. This was done last year. Those present at the meetings were President C. L. Seybold, Prof. Symmons ; J. J. Perry, president of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club; George Morrison, vice-president of that organization, and C. P. Close, of College Park; W. Irving Walker, Chestertown; E. P. Cohill, of Hancock; J. W. Kerr, of Denton. Q. Post Falls, Idaho. — Wallon & Mc- Kay, who are preparing to build a range of greenhouses on the south side of the river, have a crew of men at work erect- ing a 6,000-gallon water tank. It is be- ing placed on a tower forty feet high. Davenport, Ia. — Theodore L. Ewoldt, of Ewoldt Bros., has received an invita- tion from Wesley Greene, of Des Moines, secretary of the State Horticultural So- ciety, to address the state convention of the society, which will be held at Des Moines, August 26.

The Lake Shore Greenhouses, owned by P. Clausen & Son, are an excellent example of those enterprises which are begun for pleasure rather than for profit, but which afterward develop into suc- cessful commercial institutions, because conducted with that enthusiasm which is born of loye of the work. Peter Clausen and family came to Albert Lea from Grand Meadow, Minn., in the fall of 1878, and Mr. Clausen en- gaged in the furniture and undertaking business, which he carried on with in- creasing success until 1885, when he sold the business, probably thinking that he was thus severing his connection with active business life. In the spring of 1885 he built a small greenhouse upon the property where his present greenhouses are located. He had no intention then, however, of en- tering the florists' trade, but he cannot remember the time when he did not love flowers, and when he retired from the furniture business nothing was more nat- ural than that he should engage in their cultivation aa a pastime. Before long he discovered that he was growing more flowers and vegetables than his own family could use. There- fore he began giving away a part of the product of his greenhouse to his friends and neighbors, who, after accept- ing these gifts for a time, then insisted on paying for what they received. Learn- ing thus that his pastime was profit- able as well as pleasurable, he enlarged his greenhouse and for the next ten years he did a flourishing business. In 1897, after returning from a year's visit to his native place in Denmark, he took his son, G. A. Clausen, into part- nership with him. The old greenhouse was torn down and a new and more modern one was built in its place. So rapidly has their business grown since then that it has been found necessary to build an additional greenhouse each year, until at the present time they have over 32,000 square feet of glass. Of their ten greenhouses, one is used for violets, two for roses, six for carnations and one for chrysanthemums and other plants. In 1902 the company discon- tinued the truck gardening business, which until then had been run in con- nection with the greenhouses. The greenhouses are situated on the shore of Fountain lake, just opposite the city waterworks. Besides the green- houses, the firm has about two acres of land, which is used exclusively in the culture of flowers. ORCHIDS Arrived in fine condition, Cattleya Mossise, C. Percivaliana. C.

Brethren : There has been a movement on foot, for sev- eral years, among the growers of that "Qoeen" of summer bedding plants, the canna, among those who are members of the Society of Amer- ican Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists. I am only in the business on a large place for the pleasure that there is in it, and do not sell, and for that reason I have not favored a canna organization. I now think the time has come that a National Canna Society should be organ- ized, and I hope that all the growers will be at the convention at the Falls, so there can be an exchange of opinions. Yours truly, H. D. Seele, Canna Specialist Lawndale, Elkhart, Ind. 100 Cannas, started, 8-in., 4 vartetiei, $4.00_per O. J. H. Dann & Son, Westfleld, N. x.

Onr seed la saved from about 12,000 plants, carefully selected, when In bloom, from the 500,000 we grow for our spring sales. Each plant is carefully selected, color, stae, form and substance being taken into considera- tion, and the proportion of each color la prop erly balanced. As a result of over 25 years' work along these lines, we feel Justified in claiming to have the best strain of pansles on the market, and we invite trial and comparison. Growing our stock in this manner, we have only a limited amount of seed to spare, and In order to distribute as widely as possible, we offer it in packets of 1000 seeds.

This season it is more than ordinarily worth while for greenhouse owners to fill up the coal sheds during the time of light domestic demand. Coal is cheap today, so cheap that it is not likely to be any cheaper before September, and certainly cheaper than it will be with the advent of cool weather and the revival of general business activity. The reason why the coal market has been so low all summer is that factories closed down or running on part time have not consumed as much as usual. That prices will ad- vance sharply with the approaching re- awakening of demand is shown by the fact that the mines have closed as prices have gone down, instead of piling up stocks, and a seasonable increase in ac- tivity in the early fall will be reflected as quickly in the coal market as in any other. A "florist's need for coal does not de- pend on the condition of business, but entirely on the weather. All florists are anticipating that the approaching season will be one of the best on record, but whether these ' hopes are realized or not will not aflfect the need for fuel — there- fore it is worth while to take advantage of the present market. Many are en- larging their storage facilities in order to be able to put in in the next few weeks the larger part of their season's requirements. PIPING FOR SMALL HOUSE. I have a greenhouse which is 10x40 feet, three and one-half feet to the eaves, and six feet to the ridge. There is also a boiler-house about 10x12 feet. This is at the west end of the house. Last year I heated this with two 3-inch flows and two 3-inch returns and found that it did not give satisfactory heat for growing lettuce. This year I wish to grow let- tuce and a few carnations and under the benches wish to get a crop of mush- rooms. Please advise what piping you think would give the necessary heat.

If heated by steam, what should be the size of the pipes and what slant should they have? The location is" thirty miles north of Philadelphia and a night temperature of about 60 degrees is required.

I want to •j'ijse no pipe larger than 2-inch, as I can 'do all my own pipe-fitting up to that size. For the house already in operation, and a breeder house that stands on part of the ground it is proposed to occupy, the expansion tank is at the highest point in the system, the place on the main flow farthest from the boiler. Sometimes the water boils before all the pipes get hot. I had intended to put the tank in the same position in the completed range; that is, at the highest end of No. 1, but can connect to the return near the boiler, if that will stop the trouble, putting the expansion tank about fifteen feet above the boiler and about two feet above the highest point in the system. I can connect all the highest points in my pro- posed system, having one air valve do the work. Will not this plan give as good results, using 2-inch separate flows, as using one single large flow and return? The new bouses will be built with wood posts and board walls. They will be three-quarter-span and abouli ten feet high to the ridges, with no glass in the sides. The glass will be 16x24. Would you butt or lap the glass? What is the best material for glazing, putty or Mas- tica? Would you use brads or staples? What size pipe would you use for sup- ports for the ridge and purlins? Is there any advantage in setting the wood posts or iron-pipe posts in grout? Which are best, locust j)osts, which are to be had here for about 40 cents each, or cypress posts, for which I must send away? Will ventilators four panes wide be all right if set with two rows of glass between each sash? E. B. The criticism I would make on your plan is that you are beginning to build at the wrong end. Begin nearest the boiler. If you can first build and use house No. 4 in place of No. 1, provided the boiler is to be placed as suggested, you will save the cost of heating a use- less flow pipe as long as from house No. 4 to house No, 1. Heat i* expensive in most places. If you carry a 4-inch pipe from the boiler to the first take-off, . reduce there to 3-inch and carry to the third take-off; from that point on 2-inch will answer, and the loss of heat from a single pipe of this character will be less than from four 2-inch pipes, each leading to its re- spective house. If you wish to carry the return from each house independently to the boiler, this can be done, and it is likely that you will find the independent IMPBOVKD 8TKKL RKTURN TXIBULAR BOILKR, FOR 8TKAM AND HOT WATKR JOHNSTON HEATING CO. - 1 38 East 31st Street, * , Mention The Review when you write.

Use either putty or Mastica, as you please; the one you can work easiest. I prefer l^^-inch or 2-inch pipe supports under ridge, but 1%-inch is large enough for most purlin posts. The size of the pipe for purlins must vary according to the wind press- ure, the distance between the supporting posts and the size and length of the sashbars. For 2^ -inch sashbars and 'posts eight feet apart, 114-ioch purlins are usually heavy enough. I use double pointed glazing staples almost exclu- sively; brads are next best in my juig- ment.

Trade has been unusually heavy in funeral work for the last two weeks, with stock scarce and no outlook for a good supply for some time. Outside of funeral work, trade is quiet. Asters are coming in slowly and are rather small. Carnations are good, what are in market, but they are not plenti- ful. The. new stock, however, is coming in well and it will not be long until we will have a good supply. Boses are much better than they have been and are get- ting better right along. Brides and Maids are the main ones in the market. Eichmond, Killarney, etc., are all looking fine and will soon be in crop. Gladioli are coming iii plentifully. They help to make a showing, but sell rather slowly. There has been a good demand for ferns, especially Boston and Piersoni. Mums are looking fine and the outlook is good for some good early blooms.

So far, the supply has not been heavy, but asters are becoming more plentiful and, as is the case every year, consider- able stock will be lost during the bal- ance of the summer. The roses are small, but the stems are good, as is also the color. Brideaf, Maids, Killarney, La Detroit, Richmond, Kaiserin, etc., are all available. The price runs from 3 cents to 6 cents for the best stuff. Very few carnations are seen. A few fairly good Enchantress and Lawson arrive daily. Asters are becoming quite plentiful, with the exception of white, which is still not quite equal to the demand for good stock. The asters are not any too large, but the flowers are clean and free from disease. Gladioli are commencing, to arrive, but so far not in large quantities. Some fine sweet peas are arriving at both commission houses, and these are imme- diately disposed of. ^ Aside from smilax, all greens are plen- tiful. Various Notes. Miss Julia Drehr, bookkeeper, designer and assistant manager for W. B. Brown, is spending a few weeks' well earned vacation at Weston, O., with an uncle.

The spray of orchids and cycas leaves is one of the series of funeral designs by 0. H. Fox, Columbia avenue and Twenty- first street, Philadelphia, and the illus- tration displays a form of one of Mr, Fox's favorite ideas for funeral work, a spray composed chiefly of one variety of flowers. The leaves of Cycas revoluta have been used for a background, on which have been fastened blooms of the purple and white Cattleya labiata, giving a rich, harmonious color effect. A clus- ter of gardenias divided from the orchids by a bow of white ribbon flnished off the bunch. Phil. THE MASONIC DESIGN; W. Xi. Leeka, at Fairmount, 111., ac- knowledges to being particular on one point, and as to that he thinks the mem- bers of practically every society observe the same thing if it is lacking in a funeral design. Mr. Leeka 's hobby is the proportions of the masonic square and compass, which constitute a design almost always seen at the funeral of a member of the .Masonic order. Mr. Leeka says the square should be of the proportions of the familiar article of steel used in the building trades and the compass should appear to lie on and above the square. He avers that in his opinion the members of any order hold in esteem the florist who can execute the lodge emblems in flowers without doing violence to them, and that the reverse is true of the florist who has no eye to the eternal fitness of things. SOME WINDOWS. Good Taste in Decorating Them. Having discussed at length the well equipped window, it is next in order to consider the display itself. When we enter this subject, a wide field with many paths at once opens up to us. At first a rough classification of different kinds of window displays will aid us, and then a few remarks applicable to all kinds will preface the description of the different classes. One attractive kind of window display is the landscape, another is the water window, and a third is the special design showing. Each division, with examples, will be considered later. An Overcrowded Window. Even a casual thought upon the above classification will show that it gives no place at all for the windows frequently seen, which might be described as the "set in" or box display, usurping the function of the back ice-box, without even the care and thought given to the front ice-box. It is an attempt to fill in every inch of space. A sample lot of every kind of flower in the house is packed in a jardiniere or vase, along with other well filled vases of every style on the premises, all set in as closely as possible to their neighbors, till the window space is suffocatingly full. This is repeated mechanically 365 days in the year. If packed windows like these are to become the rule, then we would better estimate decorations by the cubic foot, and brides ' bouquets by the amount of excavations they would displace. Other Defective DispUys^^ Another excuse for a winaow decora- tion is the foregoing thinned out. An- other is of two or three vases or groups of totally different flowers, with no visi- ble reason for their being displayed to- gether, some colors, positively fighting. Others have indiffefent coloring, neither bad nor particularly good, merely acci- dental combinations. Others are put to- gether in much the same manner, with a due respect for color, but none for pure design. One has plenty of space, or too much vacancy, but to no purpose. A fairly good center group leaves both corners of the window bare. Not infrequently there may be seen a window display smacking of the first Spray of Ordiids. The Weekly Florists^ Review* AnansT 13, 1908. class mentioned, with one or two good features drowned in a host of storage pieces; for example, a basket of beauti- ful Killarneys was seen down among jars of gaillardias, sweet peas, phloxes and gladioli. The Lack of Connection. Another only half bad arrangement is a number of vases or baskets set in a ^ndow with no apparent connection. * ' One thing at a time ' ' must be a maxim ever in mind. You may use a hundred different objects in your window at once, but see to it that they are employed to one common end or purpose. For in- stance, suppose you are displaying a little table decoration. Set the table completely and confine yourself to that alone. Do not set a basket or vase off in the corner of the window, no matter how empty that may look, or how tempting the stock is that you wish to show. Make your decoration elaborate and beautiful, but stop short with that feature, not inferring, how- ever, that the decoration shall be of one color and one kind of flowers. It may or may not, but it must be one pic- ture, and every variety or separate flower must be a part of the whole. Suppose we give each of two people a few hundred carnations, we will say of one color, for a window decoration, and give each the privilege of selecting the receptacles and style of arrangement. One may select ten or a dozen vases, fill each one with carnations and green, and set them indiscriminately in the window. The other may put aJl of his carnations into a large jardiniere and set it in the window for his decoration. of help in the diligent study of the sub- ject in general — ^plant life, habits, color and design. It will stimulate a love of the beautiful, and after a while sig- nificant ideas will present themselves without effort. It is no permanent help to a person to have a window to copy from. That is the most undesirable of all aids. Get at the principle which the designer of a good window presents and work out another of its class, or still better, of an- other class. The store has a character, like an in- dividual, and the window is its face. Is it an intelligent, thinking face, that wel- comes a customer? Is it one that re- flects something of the progress of the world and the beauties of nature, or is it a machine face that«-grinds out pretty things? Geetkude Blaie. EQUINES' FLORAL TROPHIES. G. Van Bochove & Bro., Kalamazoo, Mich., send a' photograph of a floral horseshoe mounted on a chair draped with smilax, and the following explana- tion: We had the Grand and Western Cir- cuit races here last week and as we had the orders for three large floral pieces we thought it might be of some interest to Review readers. On the opening day for the 2:09 trot we made a floral horse- collar, which was presented to the win- ning horse. On the following day, for the $10,000 stake race, we made a floral horseshoe six feet high, attached to a chair. The winning driver in this race was placed in the chair and the horse- shoe above him and carried around, amid Trophy for the Winner of a Horse Race. Which is the better? The latter, for he could, with the addition of a good, soft background and a liberal allowance of green, make a simple, elegant window piece. ' Straining After Novelty. Some decorators are a step in advance of those just mentioned. They worry about the window. "What shall I put in next!" They try, but can invent nothing worth while, and their produc- tions betray a straining after novelty, instead of being clear, refreshing, life- like pictures. For such there is plenty great applause, before the grand stand. On the following day, for the 2:13 pace, we made a floral blanket for the win- ning horse. The floral pieces were all placed in a down-town window, which was decorated to represent a horse stall. It contained a horse and all necessary equipments and certainly was very attractive and was viewed by thousands. Cincinnati, O. — Fred G. Blecher has incorporated the Blecher Floral Co. with $6,000 authorized capital stock. MORE ABOUT PECKY CYPRESS. ; They say experience is the ^eat teacher, and the experience of certain growers who bought pecky cypress from the low- est bidder this season serves to give^ others an opportunity to profit by the^' expensive experience of the unwary. It appears that it has been possible for growers to procure cars of this best of all bench lumber at prices consider- ably below those quoted by the firms which make a specialty of the greenhouse trade, but when the lumber has arrived it has been found that the saving in cost was more than consumed by the fact that the stock was what is known in the lum- ber trade as random widths. Eandom widths are anything from three to sixteen inches wide; also, the board is likely to be three inches wide on one end and five inches wide on the other; and they run from six to sixteen feet long. Such lumber is decidedly ex- pensive in the extra work it makes in building the bench, and the bench is never so good as where the material is a uniform width — six inches in the case of pecky cypress sold by those who know what bench building requires. The saving of a dollar or two per thou- sand feet does not justify anyone in buying random widths, and by all means know what you are going to get before you place your order. Buy of someone who makes a specialty of florists' trade. DISEASED ASTER PLANTS. By today's mail I will send you a Crego aster plant. Can you tell me what is the trouble with it? I planted some in the old aster bed, and some in a new bed where no asters had ever been grown, but they are all affected the same way. I can see no insect but grasshoppers on them. It seelhs to me I will be without blossoms this season. The plants were grown from the new Crego aster seed. A.D. I am not familiar with the Crego aster, except what I have seen of it growing here this season; therefore I do not know whether it is subject to the trouble you are having with it or not. I suspect that your trouble is not as aggravated as you may fear and I think you may expect to cut a good many good blooms from these plants. They are not affected with the common aster blight, but with a sort of scald or bleach on the young growth. We frequently see this on the Semple and Carlson strains. It ruins the center bud and, in fact, all the top of the plant, but the lower branches come out and produce as fine blooms as the top ones ever would have produced. I cannot tell you what causes it, nor how you can prevent it, unless it is from the extreme heat we usually encounter at this time of the year. Our Crego plants do not show this trouble here, but we have lost several from the blight. Re- member that this is a late flowering va- riety and that you will not get the best blooms for some time. It seems to me this aster disease prob- lem is one which is worthy of the closest study by some of our good scientist friends. The growing of asters has be- come quite an industry and every year a great deal of money is lost to the grow- ers through these diseases. Especially is the blight a most puzzling problem. So far, we have been able to find nothing which will check it after it once shows itself in the field. Many . theories have been offered as to its origin, etc., but we August 13, 1008. The Weekly Florists' Review. have been unable to verify any one of them by experience. The best of culture and closest attention do not seem to keep it away, and sometimes I have wondered whether it could be transmitted from par- ent to seedling through the seed. Bor- deaux mixture and kindred preventives of fungous diseases do not seem to be of any use, as we have found by experience. A sure preventive of this disease would be welcomed by hundreds of growers. We never plant asters two successive seasons on the same ground, but that does not always prove successful. Nor can we say that certain varieties are more sub- ject to the blight than others. One sea- son it will be one variety and the next season it will be another variety, and maybe they will be growing side by side. We have frequently seen this. We have come to look upon the aster crop as de- cidedly .a lottery. A. F. J. B. BAR HARBOR, ME. The first flower show on the island of Mount Desert and, we believe, in the state of Maine, was held in the new Building of Arts, Bar Harbor, August 6 and 7 and, although gotten up at two weeks' notice, was a splendid success in every way. The beautiful building but recently erected, standing on a high eminence and commanding an enchant- ing view of the island's mountain scenery, was an ideal spot in which to hold a florists' exhibition. The interior proved too small to accommodate all the exhibits and collections of vegetables, which were staged in the rear of the building, on verandas, while on the beau- tiful lawn were dotted numerous speci- men hydrangeas in tubs, the steps also being furnished with bay trees, palms and hydrangeas. Much of the credit for the successful launching of a flower show here is due to George B. Dorr, one of the most prominent residents and owner of the Mount Desert Nurseries, who worked indefatigably for its suc- cess. . There were five entries for the best group of plants arranged for decora- tive effect, all being of excellent qual- ity, J. I. Kane, Kenneth McLean gar- dener, taking first. Palms, adiantums, tuberous begonias and gloxinias were used to good effect. John S. Kennedy, W. T. Burton gardener, was a good sec- ond. The class for twelve tuberous be- gonias brought out some splendid entries from John 8. Kennedy, J. E. Bowen and others. Gloxinias were also well shown. Fuchsias, achimines, ferns, Bex begoni- as and other plants were each exhibited of excellent quality. A certificate of merit was awarded to Joseph Pulitzer, A. W. Ekstrom gardener, for a superb specimen of Allamanda Hendersoni, growH as a standard with an umbrella shaped head. The same exhibitor had a similar award for a fine collection of fittonias and other stove and greenhouse plants, and secured first for specimen fern with a well grown specimen of Nephrolepis Whitmani. The Mount Desert Nurseries, William Miller manager, had an interesting col- lection of nephrolepis, including Todea- oides, Whitmani and Amerpohlii. Mil- leri, a new dwarf sport, was awarded honorable mention, and another unnamed sport was shown, in character intermedi- ate between Bostoniensis and Scottii, with divided fronds. They also showed Begonia corallina and, from their North- east Harbor branch nursery, a fine dis- play of sweet peas. H. A. Dreer had News Note-President Traendly is Writing His "Address" a display of aquatics. George S. Bon- doin, Bernard Morris gardener, received a certificate of merit for a fine lot of hydrangeas in large tubs. Joseph Pulit- zer also bad several well flowered tubs of these. E. C. Cushman, John Ren- wick gardener, had an immense begonia in the way of fuchsioides, eight feet high and of proportionate width. Although the island of Mount Desert suffered from a six weeks' drought this summer, the display of cut flowers was of a higher quality than could be found at this season at any other horticultural show in the east; both perennials and annuals were splendid. The pentstemons, phlox, collections of garden annuals, aco- nitums, sweet peas and gladioli were of splendid quality. For the best basket of cut flowers ar- ranged for effect there were no less than sixteen entries. Joseph Pulitzer, A. W. Ekstrom gardener, won with a beautiful arrangement of Shirley poppies and Gyp- sophila elegans. J. E. Bowen, A. E. Chilman gardener, who was second, used lavender flowers in variety, which pro- duced a pleasing effect. The model flow- er garden, from the Miller boys at Mount Desert Nurseries, attracted much favor- able notice and received a certificate of merit. There was a good display of fruits. G. W. Vanderbilt, Edward Kirk garden- er, was first for white grapes with splen- did Muscats, awarded a cultural certifi- cate. Miss Morrill, Charles Heath gar- dener, received a similar award for a fine bunch of Black Hambros weighing six pounds and fourteen ounces. Melons from G. W. Vanderbilt, A. C, Gurnee, Charles Shand gardener, and J. S. Ken- nedy were handsome. There was an ex- cellent display of vegetables, collections of twenty, fifteen and ten varieties, each being well competed for, the collection of peas comprising Alderman, Peerless, Duke of Albany, Sharpe's Queen and others from J. S. Kennedy being note- worthy. The state entomologist had a large and well scrutinized display of insect pests. Other exhibitors, in ad- \ ■/ii:;. The Weekly Florists' Review.

Grant gar- dener; Mrs. Edward Coles, William Mc- Gravaghan gardener; Edgar Scott, A. Mitchell gardener; Mrs. Markoe, James Crawford gardener; Alfred M. Coats, John Brown gardener, and Louis B. Mc- Cagg. Robert Cameron had charge of the arrangement of the exhibits. K. Fin- layson and W. N. Craig were judges. There were no medals, cups or prize money awarded at the show; this being considered, the splendid show was all the more remarkable. With some of these added as incentives for another, a magnificent show will be assured. The attendance of prominent cottagers and others at the show was large, and it is probable that the Bar Harbor flower show will now become one of the recog- nized events of the season in the beau- tiful Maine watering resort. A banquet, generously furnished by the Mount Desert Nurseries, was tender- ed to the gardeners and others interested in floriculture in the island at the Mount Kebo Valley clubhouse, on the evening of August 7. There were about fifty present. At the close of the banquet short addresses were delivered by Will- iam Miller, who presided; Charles Shand, Kenneth Pinlayson and W. N. Craig, and hopes were expressed for the for- mation of a horticultural society or a gardeners and florists' club as a result of the first successful exhibition. These sentiments seemed to find general ap- proval. W, N, C. ?^.<<^.<»^H SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS i. Primulas. The plants of the several primroses, more especially the Sinensis class, should go into their blooming pots during the present nionth, if wanted in bloom for Christmas. At this holiday there is al- ways a good sale for nicely flowered primulas, more particularly the crimson and scarlet varieties. In potting, avoid a heavy soil for the Chinese section. Use a good proportion of leaf-mold, some sand, well decayed cow manure and loam. You want the compost fairly porous to keep it sweet, so do not ram it hard, as you would the soil for an azalea or erica. P. obconiea and the pleasing new Kewensis do ])etter with a rather heavier soil. They also should be in their flowering pots not later than Septem- ber 1. As a rule, o-inch and 6-inch pots are as large sized as there is much call for commercially. Late sown stock can be flowered in 4-inch pots, but for these the demand will not be so good. Keep the plants «haded from bright sun. Remove the sashes on dull days and evenings, but avoid drenching rains, which will sodden the earth in the pots badly. Keep all flowers removed as tlioy appear. Cyclamens. As the nights grow cooler cyclamens grow faster. Let them have the night dews and spray overhead early in the afternoon of warfn. days. Stir the sur- face soil. Renuue weeds, and water care- fully. Keeu/fobacco stems renewed about the plants>s() that thrips and aphis can- not secuae a foothold. If thrips has appeared? smoke on two successive even- ings, avoiding heavy doses, which may in- jure the plants at this warm season. If you want your plants for Christ- mas blooming, it is well to have them rooting freely around the sides of the pots before housing time. If, on the other hand, you prefer to have them in late winter or early spring, there is no rush about getting them into flowering pots for a nionth yet. Smilax. If you have not yet found time to plant a bed or bench of smilax, do so as soon as possible. There is still time for the production of nice strings before the holidays. Stock from 2-inch to 3- inch pots will be found all right. Get your strings in position before the young growths have had time to become en- tangled. Look over plants set out some time ago and see that the shoots are clinging to the strings. Old beds, which have been rested, should now be started up, cleaning away some of the old sur- face soil and giving them a good top- dressing first. Rambler Roses. Pot grown plants of Crimson Rambler roses kept under glass until early in July \yill now have their growths almost completed. Give them a sunny spot and use the hose on them once a day, so that spider can get no foothold. The shoots of all ramblers sliould be securely tied up to secure their proper ripening. This is especially necessary in the case of the pink varieties, which, with their Wichu- raiana blood, have a natural tendency to run over the ground. A temporary fence to which the plants can be tied is some- times used and it has nnu-h to recommend it. as strong winds cannot then blow the jilants around. Eucharis Amasonica. Eucharis Amazonica is a useful Christ- mas flower. If properly rested and start- ed up six weeks before the holidays, it should be in season in a night tempera- ture of Gii to 70 degrees. Many fail to flower this plant, owing to keeping it in too dark a house. It needs but little shade at any time, just sufficient to pre- vent burning of the foliage. To time a good crop for Christmas, the plants should be rested after September 1. They will need syringing to keep mealy bug in check. This should provide all the root moisture the plants require. If in pots, the resting can be done in any house where the temperature does not go below 50 degrees at night. Abutilon Savitzii. Cuttings of that useful colored-leaved bedding abutilon, Savitzii, if inserted now will soon root, and if grown along through the winter will make nice little stock plants to propagate from in spring. Souvenir de Bonn or any others of the variegated class may also be propagated now. Brief Reminders. If you have forgotten to sow pansies, do so without delay. Remove any cov- erings from seedlings as soon as they ap- pear. Chrysanthemums will now need lots of attention in disbudding and tying. It will not pay to neglect this. Do not forget a spraying with nicotine extract or kerosene emulsion once a week for aphis) Keep antirrhinums headed back where intended for bench planting later. Grow them cool and avoid getting them pot- bound, • Watch the little seedling cinerarias carefully. Transplant them before they crowd each other. Scratch the soil over on the early mignonette bench. Keep abundant venti- lation on all the time. If stevias are planted out it will pay to put a stake to each. Pinching is still in order for these. Trim genistas into shape from time to time to keep them shapely. Put in a batch of marguerite cuttings as soon as you can sec.ure suitable wood. Prepare the loam pile for bulbs and get an adequate supply of flats, pots and pans in readiness. It is better to cut gladioli with two or three flowers expanded only. The balance open just as well in water as on the plant. Spray dahlias with kerosene emulsion where the bug which stings the shoots is troublesome. Avoid putting on heavy shadilig after this date. The sun's power will soon be on the wane and plants are better grown without dense shade. CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS. Can chemical fertilizers, such as phos- phates, ammonia and nitrate of soda, be used on pink or yellow mums up to the time Avhen the flowers show color, or can they be used at all to advantage and without changing the color? A. W. Chemical fertilizers, such as nitrate of soda, phosphates and ammonia, can be used with advantage up to the time the buds show color. It is, however, very easy by an overdose to destroy the colors of pinks and reds, and care should be taken to reduce the strength and also the quantity as we come closer to the flowering period. Ribes. TO DESTROY SNAILS. . Will you kindly tell us what to do about the snails in our houses? Can we do anything to get rid of themf W. G. M. There are a number of ways to de- stroy snails. The most common one is to lay baits of leaves of cabbage and lettuce or slices of potatoes, examining these every day and laying fresh baits as the old ones shrivel. If you are grow- ing pot plants on benches, remove these and give the bench a dressing of air- slaked lime, or water it with boiling water applied through an ordinary water- ing pot. Under the benches scatter some lime or fine salt. If you are growing .< I rr August 13, 1908.

They hide frequently in the holes at the bottom of the pots, as well as among the young growths. By using baits and lime you will speedily lessen their ravages mate- rially. C. W. SUNBURNT RUBBER PLANT. May I ask what is the trouble with my rubber plant? It had become so large that this summer I removed it from the pot and planted it in my garden, where it had good, rich soil. In about a week most of the leaves turned an ugly shade of brown and they still remain in that condition, with no signs of growth. Will you tell me what I had better do? Shall I repot it and put it in the house again? E. E. M, From the description given, it seems most probable that this is a case of sun- burn, owing to the soft condition of the foliage at the time the plant was put outdoors. I would not bring it in before <5ool weather — in the latter part of Sep- tember, for example, or at any time there might be danger of frost. If the foliage is badly disfigured it would be best to cut back the shoots, in order to encourage some fresh growth, giving the plant a mulching of manure and leaving it out in the full sun. W. H. T. THE GLOBE IN FLOWERS. The accompanying illustration shows a bedding design which is attracting an unusual amount of public attention at St. Louis. It is located at Bissell's Point park, the old city pumping sta- tion, and W. E. Eobinson, who was standing in the scene when the photo- graph was taken, is not only the general superintendent of all the parks under the water department in St. Louis, but he is the originator of this design. It will be readily understood that the globe represents the earth, the picture showing the side with the western hemi- sphere. The globe revolves, but not auto- matically, the employees taking the place of nature's force in this instance in or- der to give the plants on all sides their share of the sun. The flower bed upon which tlie globe stands is sixty feet in diameter and the globe itself contains 32,000 plants. The globe was made of wood and it took a carload of soil to fill it, and then they covered it with a wire netting and sea weed. The continents are made of alternantheras in four col- ors. The oceans and the desert of Sa- hara are made of Santolina incana and sedums. In the design which forms the base of the globe there are 16,000 plants of Salvia splendens St. Louis and many thousands of coleus, Ageratum Stella Gurney, santolina, alternanthera, eche- veria and sedum. Thousands of people visit the park each Sunday to admire this design. ''•^.<*^.<#^.'i*^.'i»^.'»^.'i»^.<»^.'

I have been much interested in the dis- cussion which has recently appeared in the Review on the attitude of the retail- ei-s toward the wholesalers, and how each could help the trade in general by doing, or not doing, certain things. As Mr. Niessen says, cooperation would be a grand thing, and let us hope he gets it, and we all of us get it — it will help us all. But what Mr. Niessen says about overproduction brings another thought to my mind, and one I have not seen men- tioned in this discussion. If a grower may be permitted to butt in on a debate between the selling ends of the business. I should like to call attention to a situa- tion now existing in which the wholesal- ers could do a little cooperating with the growers to, I think, mutual advantage. As Mr. Niessen says, the storekeeper sometimes complains that he does not get the same chance as the faker. Of course it would be much better for the florists if the storekeepers would have their bar- gain days, as Mr. Niessen suggests, to sell more flowers, and so help the florist- grower. There would not be so much stuff thrown away and no doubt it would keep the faker off the streets a good bit. Consignments From Amateurs. But here is where my idea comes in. Mr. Commission-man, listen! How many of you handle flowers for amateurs? By 8 The Weekly Florists' Review. August 13, 1908. that I mean people who are holding. good positions, not in the florist trade, but in banks, or on the railroad, or in some other trade. No doubt many of you have summer shippers such as these. People who are not in the trade, who do not have to depend on the trade, and who just raise flowers to make a few extra dollars; which means a few dollars less for the florist-grower each week. Why should a grower be made to compete with these people? We all know that the com- mission-man is never short of outdoor flowers, so why should he accept flowers from these folks, and help along the over- production when it is not necessary f And not alone that; the amateur encourages his neighbor, and that neighbor encour- ages another, and where will the trade be if this keeps up? No doubt there is many a florist who does not know about this, and perhaps many a commission-man, too. But those who do, do you think it is right? When a florist raises a thing he doesn't grow it for the few extra dollars, or for a pas- time. He did not learn the trade for that. He learned it to make his living, support his family, and he must depend on the commission-man to a certain ex- tent if he is a wholesale grower. Seedsmen's Wholesak Lilts. Here ia another thing: Why is it that the seedsman has his wholesale and his retail catalogue? Just for the same reason. He knows it would not do if the stock was sold to the amateur for the same price as to the florist; not alone for his own sake, but for the florist 's, too. What if seeds, etc., were sold at wholesale to all? Where would the trade be? Of course, if an amateur was to buy out a florist, or start for himself and spend his time at it entirely, and make it his business, that's another thing. We all would like to help him along, encour- age him, tell him the ins and outs of how to grow a thing, etc. This, of course, is a certain duty to mankind. Neither does it apply to the amateur who employs a florist or two to run the houses and garden for pleasure. They will at times have an oversupply of flow- ers and we cannot blame them if they make a shipment here and th^, as they do not like to see them go to waste. So why shouldn't they try to turn them into cash, where they are paying for skilled help? Also, they are not making a regular practice of it. Some years ago I left my position in a large flower establishment. I bought a piece of land, got my sash ready to start in for myself and depend on the Philadelphia market. Well, in the first place I had to send for a wholesale price- list, which I did. Two days later I re- ceived a postal from one seed house, say- ing that if I wanted a wholesale price-list I must either show by my printed letter- heads that I was a florist, or give proper' references to prove it. They did right, so far, and I give them credit. But now is where I was stuck. I gave them the name of my former place, where I was employed for the last five years. Cer- tainly I thought I would have the trade list in a day or two, as any one knows I was entitled to same. But it never capie! Now, had I already shipped flowers to a commission house in their city, and given the wholesaler as reference, to be , sure I would have had the price-list, and how would they know whether I was in the trade or not? Of course, I had no trouble in getting trade lists elsewhere. Mr. Commission-men, from Philadel- phia, Chicago, New York and elsewhere,' what have you to say about this? Don't you think that the trade belongs to the florist? Hugo Kind. CARNATION NOTES.- VEST. Surpltxs Outdoor Plants. After you have planted your carnation beds, you may have some plants left in the field. If you planted out as many as you should have done in order to be able to select your plants carefully, you will likely have a good many left outside. Do not neglect these and allow them to go to ruin for want of attention. They are too valuable for that, and there are too many growers who are only too anx- ious to take off your hands at a profitable price good plants of any good variety you may be growing, if you wish to sell them. Choose Either of Two Courses. There are two courses" open to you, either of which will prove profitable to you. You must choose at once, however, between the two, according to the nature of your business, as they require differ- ent treatment. One plan would be to keep the plants topped and shapely, to be dug as ordered and disposed of as field-grown plants for benching. In this case you will handle them just as though you were going to house them later yourself. Place an advertisement in the Keview, stating what varieties you have and the price. The other method would be to let the plants run up to bud, disbud them as you do inside in winter, and sell the blooms. In some cases this latter method can be made even more profitable than selling the field-grown plants. The -re- tailer, particularly, can use these blooms to good advantage, especially if they are principally light colors, which is likely to be the case. Many of the pink varie- ties come quite light outside. There is always a scarcity of flowers about the time the asters begin to let up, and every carnation you can cut, inside or out, will bring you good money. In either case you must, of course, keep down the weeds and cultivate regu- larly. If you could water the plants in case you let them bloom, it would help them considerably, but you must deter- mine for yourself whether you would be warranted in going to that much expense. The plants will likely be scattered out considerably, on account of having half or more taken out. Avoid the Other Course. Do not do as do some growers, who al- low the plants to take care of themselves after they have finished planting what they need. The plants are perhaps kept free from weeds and cultivated, but are allowed to bloom. The blooms are cut and sold and the plants are advertised and sold for benching. This may be more profitable than the methods suggested above, but it would not be treating your customers right, unless you let it be known that the plants have been allowed to bloom in the field. You would not want to plant such stock yourself ; neither do your customers. Say in your adver- tisement just what you have for sale, and deliver what you sell. That is the way to build business. You may wish to sell more next year, and besides, it is right—' ' nuff sed. " A. F. J. Baub. USING LAST YEAR'S SOIL. Enclosed you will find a sample of soil that was taken from our carnation benches. We would like to know if we can use it for another season with good success. The carnations did well last season in this soil, with little or no feed- ing. It is hard for us to get soil, for wo are in the heart of the city, and we thought that perhaps, with the aid of cow manure and bone meal, the soil would do for another year. E. M. As a general thing we do not approve of using soil for carnations more than one season. We have tried it as an ex- periment a few times, but could never get as good results as we could from new August 13, 1908. The Weekly Florists' Review* soil. I have talked -with growers, how- ever, who claimed to have used the same soil two seasons or more with good suc- cess. In fact, I know of one grower who claimed to have used one lot of soil five consecutive seasons, and at the time of our conversation he expected to keep on using it as long as it gave as good satis- faction as it had up to that time. I know of another firm who used a batch of soil one season, then spread it thinly outside for two or three years, and then used it again. This firm grew good car- nations, but they grew much better car- nations after they purchased a tract of land and began using new soil. So, you see, there are different degrees of suc- cess, and what would seem gratifying to one grower would not satisfy, another at all. ^^ , We consider good soil for filling the benches of the greatest importance, and a few extra dollars spent in securing the best you can find, and in getting it in good condition, are as good an invest- ment as you can possibly make. It does not take many blooms to buy the differ- ence between good soil and bad, and the handling costs you just the same. And if you figure up the difference in the price you will get between high-grade blooms and those of a lower grade, you will see that you will soon pay for the good soil. A half cent added to each bloom you cut during the season will make a remarkable difference in your bank account, even if the good soil did not produce any more blooms than the other. So I would not advise you to use the old soil if you can possibly get new soil and have it in proper condition for plant- ing in. Your letter would indicate that you have not secured the soil as yet, and it will be almost impossible now, except by chance, to get soil that is properly prepared. The benches ought to be filled at once if it is not already done, and no time should be lost, if you do not want to wait until winter for your carnation blooms. The sample you forwarded seems to be in good mechanical condition, and does not have the appearance of having been used a season. Fair success may be had with it, if properly enriched — far better than with most soil taken from the benches. It might be better than what you would be able to procure in new soil. I would add cow manure, sheep manure and bone meal to it and let it lie a couple of weeks before planting. Keep it fairly moist and turn it over once each week before planting. Put on an inch of cow manure and add 100 pounds of bone meal and 300 pounds of sheep ma- nure to 1,000 square feet of bench space, and mix thorougiily, A few top-dressings of lime during the season will be bene- ficial. In conclusion I would warn you not to use this soil under any conditions if you had any stem-rot last season, as it will surely give you trouble, and plenty of it. A. F. J. B. W. B. BROVN. In the election of W. B. Brown as their chief executive, the members of the Detroit Florists' Club have bestowed quite an honor upon him, inasmuch as he is the youngest man by far who has ever held this position. Still the votes cast were not marked "Brown" just because he is a nice fellow, but because he has earned a standing in the trade. Mr. Brown was born in Detroit in 1875. His thirty-three years on earth have been more or less of a struggle for W. a Brown. existence, until finally he has his head above water. For sixteen years he was with the Detroit Floral Co., under the training of Eobert Flowerday. He worked himself up from errand boy to driver, and from driver to head clerk. About five years ago he bought out what was left of a somewhat run down retail business at 308 Woodward avenue. Here began another struggle, but with the as- sistance of Mrs. Brown he soon became master of the situation and now is the owner of a prosperous retail business and father of a nice fat boy of 14 months. With the support of the members, there is no reason why we should not have a banner club year. H. S. DAHLIAS STUNTED AND YELLOW. Can you tell me what ails my dahlias? They are stunted, shriveled up and yel- lowish, I will not be able to cut a flower, I have twelve different varieties. The ground was used for the first time last year, and the dahlias in the same spot did well. The other plants in the same ground are doing well. Is it green- fly or gases from factories near-by? C.U. The attacks of green aphis should not cause your plants to present such a stunted and yellow appearance. Of course, it is a mistake to allow this pest to get a foothold on any plants. If your plants really have it, give them a syringing of some tobacco extract, di- luted, at once. Very often a cinch bug bites the leading shoots and causes them to become stunted. Possibly you may have this. Factory gases are not good for any plants, but, if your other plants are doing well, this can hardly be the trouble with the dahlias. C. W. ALLAMANDAS FROM SEED. Will you kindly inform me through your columns whether Allamanda Wfll- iamsi is often grown from seed and how long it takes the seedlings to bloom? I have a quantity of young plants thus grown and seeds without number on a specimen plant. M, R, D. Although I have never tried allaman- das from seed, there is no reason why they should not be successfully propa- gated in this way. Sow the seed as soon as ripe in a brisk heat. The seed- lings should bloom within a year. Propa- gation from growing wood is simple. These cuttings will root in three to four weeks and make excellent plants in a year. They should have a good bottom heat in winter, but in summer will root freely without it. C. W. TO CARRY OVER SVAINSONA. Can swainsona planted in solid beds a year ago last spring remain another sea- son? C.U. The swainsona is a rank growing plant and we prefer to plant it annually. You can, however, prune your plants .back well, remove some of the old surface soil, .give a liberal top-dressing and carry them over another season, C. W. The Weekly Florists' Review, August 13, 1908. NEW ROSES AT PARIS. Nature of the G>mpetition. So many inquiries have reached me as to the judging of the new roses at Paris, and 80 many reports have been published which need restating in order to put the matter correctly before Americans inter- ested, that I deem it best to briefly state the case. ^^^ The city of PariaOirance, is anxious to do everything possible to make^ the city attractive to visitors. With this in view, and in order to give an additional attraction, the municipality at the insti- gation of M. Jules Gravereaux has es- tablished in the great park known as the Bois de Bolougne, the Garden Bagatelle, which is given over to roses, the garden being under the able management of M. Forestier. The call was issued last autumn and winter, asking the originators of new roses to send four plants of each of their new varieties for planting in the Garden Bagatelle. These rose plants are set out in beds, each variety being grouped to- gether. There were eighty-seven rose varieties submitted and planted, making a total of 348 plants. The prizes were: The Grand Prize of Bagatelle, a large gold medal given by the city of Paris. Two Premier prizes, the first given by the Minister of Agriculture, the second given by the National Horticultural So- ciety of France. Two second prizes, the first by the Rose Section of the National Horticul- tural Society, the second given by the French National Rose Society. The Jury. The competition was most interesting and unique in character. The jury was composed of: M. A. Chenoux, president of the Mu- nicipal Council of Paris, who was chair- man; Arthur Paul, of England; Peter Lambert, Germany; Constant Soupert, Luxembourg; E. G. Hill, United States; MM. Jules Gravereaux, Pernet, Leveque and Chatenay, representing the National Horticultural and the National Rose So- cieties of France. The jury, forming themselves into a committee, decided that a second judging of these roses should take place in Sep- tember next, when the final awards will be made. The committee was led to this conclusion by the fact that a few of the roses were past their best estate so far as bloom was concerned, a number not being in bloom at all. It was concluded, in the interest of all who had submitted and sent their roses to be judged that strict equity demanded a second judg- ment. All the judges agreed to return at the call of M. Gravereaux at such time In September as he deemed best, excepting* of course the representative from the United States. "^ .

Lyon-Rose, from its unique color, seemed to take .the lead and was voted the maximum number of points. All the varieties scoring from five points up certainly possessed qualities that should make them permanent additions to our list of good roses. I was sorry that John Cook's rose, My Maryland, did not have a flower or bud showing ; I look for this variety, and others, to m^e their mark at the second judjfing. \In the event of a number of varieties re(Jeiving the maximum number of ten points, then the judges will vote as to theji^espec- tive positions and the •p^fm will be awarded accordingly. At the conclusion of the judging one of the most elegant dinners was served that it has been my pleasure to enjoy. We were further shown every nice at- tention possible to think of. The ex- hibit, as planned and carried out at the Garden Bagatelle, is certainly an inno- vation on all previous methods employed of arriving at the good qualities of new roses and the experiment is certainly worthy of careful study and thought. My own opinion is this: The roses sub- mitted should be established the pre- ^'ious summer or season, so that they might show their possibilities under good root action; second, as the varieties of roses vary a few days in their time of flowering, it would seem important that the jury have several inspectionsj so as to see the varieties at their best when passing upon them. I believe that to M. Jules Gravereaux belongs the credit for the inception of this novel method of exhibiting roses. M. Gravereaux is certainly one of the most enthusiastic as well as one of the most practical rosarians living, as a visit to his wonderful rose garden will attesti E. G. Hill. OBITUARY. Warren W. Rawson. W. W. Rawson, the largest market gardener in New England and a promi- nent seed merchant at Boston for many years, died Sunday afternoon, August 9, at 3 o'clock, as the result of an opera- tion performed August 4. He had only been ill since August 1 and the news of his death will come as a shock to his multitudes of friends. Mr. Rawson was born in Arlington, Mass., January 23, 1847. He went from the grammar school there to Cotting Academy, from which he graduated in 1864. In 1867 he was graduated from a commercial college and subsequently studied music for five years and spent two years at a school of oratory and de- voted a year to the study of parliament- ary law. The growing of plants and flowers caught his fancy while he was quite a youth. Having passed his twenty-first birthday, he began to work for his father. Soon after he married, and then went into business with his father. From 1867 to 1872 he sold the farm products at Faneuil Hall market, Boston. In 1872, desiring to increase and ex- tend his business, he bought out his father's interests, giving a large mort- gage for same. This mortgage was soon paid off, for his businJess prospered ex- ceedingly in every branch, so much so that after seven years ai the old place he bought a new tract of Ifind and erected his first greenhouses, three in number. From that time his business continually increased, so that at the time of his death he had five farms, twenty large greenhouses and kept thirty horses and fifty to seventy-five men constantly em- ployed. A book written by the deceased is considered one of the best handbooks on market gardening. His great specialties under glass were cucumbers and lettuce. He was one of .:'•:■■.<'.■•*. ■■ August 13, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* it the pioneer growers of these on a vast scale. On his seed farms were produced many of the Arlington seed specialties well known throughout the country. He was one of the first to use electric light for forwarding crops and by this means managed to get lettuce and other crops in ahead of his competitors. Besides owning the several seed farms, Mr. Kawson had many houses in Arling- ton and was its heaviest taxpayer. His seed stores were formerly at 12 Faneuil Hall square, but after a disastrous fire there in 1906 he removed to 5 Union street, where seeds, bulbs and sundries are sold in large quantities. Recently he secured a farm in Marblehead, where he had made specialties of dahlias, sweet peas, annuals, perennials and bulbous plants in variety. Mr. Eawson was identified with about thirty different organizations. Among others he was mainly instrumental in forming the powerful Boston Market Gardeners ' Association and was for years its president. He had for many years belonged to the Massachusetts Horticul- tural Society, having been a trustee and being a candidate for president a few years ago. He served as chairman of the vegetable committee for several years and had often delivered lectures on vege- table culture. He was a member of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, before which he had lectured. The club held field days only last year at his Marble- head farm to see the displays of dahlias and sweet peas. In banking circles the deceased was widely known. He belonged to the Ma- sonic, Odd Fellows and many other fra- ternities. He also belonged to the Mid- dlesex, Home Market and other promi- nent clubs. He was prominently men- tioned for Secretary of Agriculture under President McKinley's administration. In politics he was republican, being for sev- eral years a member of the governor's council, and he was frequently mentioned as a good candidate for the highest of- fices in the state. In his native town of Arlington, Mr. Bawson had served on the school board, board of selectmen and in about every other office of importance. He was pop- ular with every class and there were few more familiar faces in Boston than that of W. W. Rawson. Mr. Rawson's son, Herbert W., will continue the business, for which he is well fitted by business training. The funeral services were held Wednes- day, August 12, at Mount Pleasant ceme- tery, Arlington. The officiating clergy- men were: Rev. Dr. W. H. Ryder, of Gloucester, assisted by Rev. B. H. Spauld- ing, of Cambridge, and Rev. Frederick Gill, of Arlington. There was an im- mense concourse of mourners, testifying to the universal respect in which the de- ceased was held. The Knights Templar of Cambridge Commandery had charge of the funeral services. There were large delegations from the Massachusetts Hor- ticultural Society, Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club, Boston Market Gardeners' Association and numerous other bodies. The floral tributes were among the finest and most numerous ever seen at a fu- neral in New England. The designs from the Boston seed trade and other bodies were magnificent. W. N. C.

The main topic discussed was the basket picnic, by the Milwaukee Florists' Club, to be held Sunday, September 6, at Crystal Spring park. Everyone present took a good number of tickets and everything points to a grand success. Everybody is invited and no one should fail. G. Hunkel, of Hunkel's Seed Store, Fourth and Chestnut streets, reports a greater demand for auto-spray pumps for July than in former years— due, no doubt, to the lack of rain. A baby boy has brightened the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Manke, of North Milwaukee, since August 5. There is great rejoicing, as it is their first- born. Mother and child are doing well. On August 7, William Edlefsen, senior partner of the Edlefsen-Leidiger Co., left for St. Louis, to attend the funeral of his mother, who died at the ripe age of 94 years. Up to a few years ago she made frequent visits to Milwaukee, and was known by many of the older members of the craft. She also was grandmother of Mrs. H. V. Hunkel, of this city. Among the visitors were E. Amerpohl, of Janesville, Wis., aqd J. D. Thompson, of Joliet. The list of incorporations in Madison, Wis., August 6, includes the following: Fox Point Floral Co., Milwaukee; cap- ital stock, $10,000. Incorporators: Au- gust H. Kellner, Hans Schulze and Paul H. Schulze. Mr. Kellner is a local man, with a life experience as a florist, but of late years he has devoted his time to decorating and landscape work. E. O. The C. C. PoUworth Co. is now cut- ting some very fine Golden Glow chrys- anthemums. This variety is coming in exceptionally early and they have stems about three feet long and flowers of large size. This is exceptionally early for mums in this market, but it is hard- ly believed that mums coming in as early as this find much favor with the fiowe'r buyers. There is too much outdoor stock in the market and the best class of the flower buyers are all in the country, al- though for an early variety this Golden Glow beats them all. These were propa- gated so as to come in at various tim^ and the cut on these will continue for the next four or six weeks. C. PoUworth, state vice-president of the S. A. F. for Wisconsin, has sent a circular letter to the trade reminding them that ' ' a vacation with pleasure and business combined can be had by attend- ing the convention at Niagara Palls Aug- ust 18 to 21. Special low rates to this scenic resort. Come and see what the other fellows are doing. See what new things are coming in the market," etc. 12 The Weekly Florists' Review. Adocst 13, 1908.

TO CLEAN SMOKY GLASS. Give us a good recipe or formula for taking dirt off smoky glass. C. U. If the glass will not clean when wetted over with the hose and scrubbed with a brush, mix a little potash or lye in warm water and damp the glass with it. This will loosen the dirt so that it can be easily removed. As this also removes paint, do not damp the woodwork with the potash water any more than is abso- lutely necessary. C. W. ILLINOIS MEETING. There will be a meeting of the ex- ecutive committee of the Illinois State Florists' Association at Niagara Falls during the S. A. F. convention. The day and hour will be announced later. Albert T. Hey, President. HOTELS AT NIAGARA FALLS. It has been brought to our attention that some hotels are making a strife to land certain delegations. There has been so much said about people getting "done" at Niagara Falls that we take this opportunity to warn the convention attenders not to be led astray and the best advice we can give them is to make arrangements to stop at the Cataract or International hotels. The rates are from $3 to $5 a day, American plan, and we are sure anybody can afford to put up $3 a day for his room and three good meals such as they are serving; $5 per day means a room with a bath. Never before has an opportunity been offered where the trade exhibit, meeting hall and accommodations for members were all under one roof, like this year, and we urge everybody to correspond with the International Hotel Co. to secure quarters. They will have room for all comers. William F. Kasting. George McClure, ' • Charles Keitsch. LADIES' AUXILIARY.

Manda, West Orange, N, J.; Fred H. Meinhardt, St. Louis. Hotels at Niagara Falls* It seems fair that it should be made known to the members of the S. A. F. that exhibition hall, meeting hall, busi- ness oflSce, space for outside display, and music and refreshments for the presi- dent's reception have all been furnished to the society by Mr. Isaacs free of charge. These accommodations wjjich he has furnished us, the writer believes, cost over $1,000 last year, and have cost very large sums in almost every place where the society has met before. The amount of profit of the society from the trade exhibition last year was only a little over $100, but through the generosity of Mr. Isaacs this year it will be at least $1,000 more than that. Mr. Isaacs is the manager of the Pros- pect House, Cataract House and the In- ternational Hotel. Mr. McClure and Mr. Cutler assure us of fair treatment and reasonable rates, and the writer feels it his duty to urge upon the members of the society to give these houses the preference, so far as they can do so without inconvenience to themselves. All indications point to a large attend- ance, one of the largest trade exhibitions ever held, and a most successful conven- tion in all respects. August 7, 1908. W.N. Rudd, Sec'y. CROPS UNDER 10-YEAR AVERAGE. That crop conditions in the United States were in the aggregate better (two per cent) on August 1 last than they were a year ago, but slightly (one per cent) below a ten-year average condition on that date, is the opinion expressed by the crop reporting board of the Depart- ment of Agriculture in a supplementary report issued August 10. The report mentions the crops that are above the average, including winter wheat, hay, cotton and tobacco. Corn, barley, rye, buckwheat, apples and flax are slightly below the average, potatoes being about five per cent and oats nearly ten per cent, below. August 13. 1908.

Mention The Review when you write. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. The Chicago market is sadly in need of rain, for the production of indoor flow- ers is at about the lowest of the year, there being practically no carnations, and the drought has cut down the sup- plies of outdoor stock, while at the same time causing the moderate quantities which are being received to be of poorer quality than is desirable. Because the drought has been so gen- eral throughout the middle west, the same conditions prevail in other markets as in Chicago, and the shipping demand is greater than it usually is at this sea- son. If Chicago had the stock, a nice business could be done. As it is, the day's receipts are so quickly picked up that it is frequently impossible to fill late orders, if more than moderate quan- tities are wanted or if there is a limit on prices. Those who "have been cutting Beauties have been reaping a harvest, for the sup- ply is short of the demand and Beauties are realizing big prices. The out-of-town demand is so good that local buyers are not permitted to question prices; the only issue is whether or not they are to be given the stock. There are not many good Maids or Brides, but the cut of short stock from young plants is gradu- ally increasing. The two roses which are most in demand are Killarney and Kai- serin. It is interesting to note that al- most every buyer wants Killarney, and as a result it is commanding first-class prices, compared to the values of other roses. Killarney certainly has gained a leading place in this market as a summer rose. Last week there was an abundance of asters, but this week the market is short and prices strong. How long this wiU maintain it is impossible to say, but the plants are suffering for water, and there is no immediate prospect of an in- crease in the supply. The dry weather has practically finished the sweet peas, only an occasional box being seen. Gladi- oli continue to be the most abundant flower and America is about the only one that sells satisfactorily, although there is some call for Augusta. The comniom sorts in mixed colors are poor property. There are not so many auratum Lilies, but it is now possible to supply Easter lilies in any quantity, if ordered a day in advance. There also are good supplies of album and rubrum, especially the latter. Valley is not overabundant. The market for greens is not good. There is little call for strings of aspara- gus or smilax, and for almost the first time this season there now is an abun- dance of asparagus in bunches. Ferns are selling about as usual in summer. The wholesalers are interested in advices that a new crop of green galax is avail- able; many of them have large quan- tities of last year's crop still in storage, and are wondering if it will have to go with the boxwood. Will Disseminate Field. Peter Reinberg has determined to dis- seminate the Mrs. Marshall Field rose in the trade in the spring of 1909.

He therefore anticipates a large sale for the stock. A Golden Wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Gottfried Amling will celebrate their golden wedding August 14. There will be a service at St. John 's Lutheran church, at Forest Park, at 4 p. m., followed by a reception at the home, 36 Elgin street. The event will be an occasion of a family gathering. There are nine sur- viving children, and thirty-four grand- children and great-grandchildren. The family would make a little colony by it- self, for nearly every profession . and trade is represented, hardly any two of the sons or grandsons having pursued the seme walk in life, except that there is a preponderance of florists — three sons are engaged in this line, Albert and Will- iam at Maywood, and E. C. Amling, in the wholesale department. Reserve Your Berths. F. F. Benthey, 35 Randolph street, is anxious to hear from those who want accommodations on the Florists' Club's special train to Niagara Falls, leaving at 6 p. m., August 17, via the Wabash. Mr, Benthey understands that there will be a large attendance, but few have as yet spoken for berths and it is spe- cially desirable that he know how many cars will be required for the trip, else it may be found that the train is crowd- ed. Write him or call him on the phone. George H. Blackman, of Evansville, Ind., has written for a berth on the Obicago train. The Welcome Rain. The two months' drought in Chicago and vicinity was broken on the evening of Tuesday, August 11, by the heaviest rainfall of the summer. In the first half hour more rain fell than in the previous two and a half months. Since May 28 there had been only traces of precipita- tion, the heaviest being July 17, with Vote for J. F.

Joseph Molck, of Jeflfersonville, Ind., is in town, visiting the various sources of supply and stocking up for the big trade he expects this fall. Kidwell & Ellsworth, at Belmont, are planting their houses with carnations grown in the field by Wietor Bros., near- ly 10,000 plants having been bought of this firm. H. N. Bruns is building another green- house, 25x105, for the growing of valley. The new house adjoins the east side of his store and is of Moninger construc- tion. It will be ready for use about September 1. The south end of it will be fitted with a handsome plate glass show window, which will thus form an extension of the already large frontage which is used for the display of stock. At the rear end of the new house a boiler-shed is being erected, where a Kroeschell boiler will be installed, of sufficient capacity to heat the entire es- tablishment. It is also reported that a part of the structure in the rear will be GOOD BUSINESS |T WILL pay you to orde^ now as much wire work as you used in the last year.

E. T. Wanzer, the carnatioa grower at Wheaton, is superintendent of the floricultural department of the country fair, to be held August 25 to 29. He has induced the management to add a special list of premiums to those ofiPered for plants and cut flowers in the original premium list, and is working for a good display. Emil Buettner, of Park Ridge, is one of the judges. Bassett & Washburn are preparing for the dissemination of their new red car- nation, Orland P. Bassett, by planting 40,000 plants. They contemplate sending it out at a moderate price, and count on a very large demand. Charles BaUuff has returned from an outing with his wife, spent in Wiscon- sin. The A. L.

Co., which for many years has kept close account of the cost of wirr work, says that large users should buy generously at present — competition has brought the prices down to where the wire department is an advertisement and nothing else. Poehlmann Bros. Co. says the use of corrugated pasteboard boxes for growers ' shipments will become much more gen- eral. They find that a box will make several trips between Morton Grove and the store, and on each trip will save in express charges nearly the original cost of the box. Phil Schupp, at Budlong's, says busi- ness is excellent compared with other Augusts; the only difficulty is to find the stock. Vandas are now in crop, and C. W. McKellar says they are selling first rate at ,25 cents per flower, where good work is to be done. The E. F. Winterson Co. is receiving gladioli by the wagon-load and finds good sale for the special varieties, but not much demand for the common stuff. Zeeh & Mann report that the present summer is considerably better than last with them. John Zech says they are specially fortunate in having quite a few- roses at present, when the local trade will take anything that can be spared from the shipping orders. W. E. Lynch, of E. H. Hunt's, leaves for Massachusetts Thursday, August 13, to join his family, who already are vis- iting at the old home there. Vaughan & Sperry say they do quite a retail business with boxes, both cor- rugated and otherwise. A great many buyers who visit the market find it worth while to assemble all their purchases in one place and pack them in a box to save breakage. Peter Reinberg and Leonard Kill, with their wives, motored to Salem, Wis., Sat- urday afternoon, returning Monday morning. The George Wittbold Co. is preparing to tear down its two oldest greenhouses, on the Halsted street side of the place, and rebuild in one wide, high structure. Miss Martha Gunterberg returned Au- gust 10 from her six weeks' outing in Minnesota. J. B. Deamud is on his farm at Cairo, Mich., and expects to go from there to the convention. Fred Lautenschlager, as state vice- president of the S. A. F., has sent out a neatly printed announcement of the Florists' Club's special train to Niagara Falls, August 17, urging a large attend- ance and soliciting new members. Among the week 's visitors were : Adam Heim, of the Heim Support Co., Con- nersville, Ind. ; W. J. Pilcher, of Kirk- wood, Mo., who is building a new range of houses; Miss H. B. Whittet, of Min- neapolis. Canfield, O. — August 6, lightning struck the greenhouses of the Altimo Culture Co., but no serious damage was done. Chatham, N. Y.— The Chatham Floral Co. has been building an extensive addi- tion to its greenhouses. Meanwhile a part of the force has been engaged in transplanting 20,000 carnation plants. PITTSBURG. The Market There is no change in conditions, as far as business is concerned. The gen- eral trade is in a kind of comatose state. There are quantities of fine flowers of all kinds in the wholesale houses. Only the best will tempt buyers, and a little of that goes a long way. Various Notes. For a long time, rumors of a new wholesale house have been going the rounds. Sometimes it was a growers' market that was predicted, but devel- opments during the last week indicate that several old employees of the older house have gotten their heads together and propose opening for themselves. They have not, up to the present, of- ficially announced their new business, but as the ' * hen has been on ' ' for several months, it will more than likely hatch out by the time this is in print. A special meeting of the Pittsburg Florists' Club was called Saturday after- noon in the oflSce of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., to consider an inTitation of the Chamber of Commerce to be rep- resented in the sesquicentennial parade, which will occur in September. A com- mittee was appointed, consisting of Sam- uel McClements, W. Breitenstem, A. W. Smith, Jr., H. L. Blind, J. W. Ludwig and T. P. Langhans, to confer with the Chamber of Commerce and arrange for a large float to represent the Pittsburg florists. Carnegie, Pa., will have an old home week, and have a trades parade, in which C. H. Puhlman, of that town, expects 16 The Weekly Florists' Review. August 13, 1908. to have a floral float. It will be an original design, and he invites all in this vicinity to come out and get ideas for Pittsburg's big demonstration. Hoo-Hdo. The Guardian Trust Co., trustee in bankruptcy of the estate of Lincoln I. Nefif, will offer the Neff greenhouse at Cheswick for sale at auction, Tuesday, August 18. GRAND RAPIDS. The damage done by the hot spell is serious. Carnation plapts on heavy soil have suffered, particularly by red spider, but from now on they will' grow fast. Business is dull, nothing doing except oc- casional funeral work. All are planting carnations, and hurrying th* work along as fast as possible. Asters are in, but of poor quality as yet. Those grown in- side are fine and are practically all the flowers there are now, as carnations are over. Of course, there are plenty of lilies to be had. At the Soldiers' Home they are making cement benches, very similar to those at' Wittbold's, all in one piece, but thick- er and heavier than the Chicago bench. Charles Bowdich, the florist in charge, intends to put in at least two benches of the Wittbold pattern, to see which is the most desirable. The Grand Rapids Floral Co. has just completed a 70-foot brick chimney, in- side dimensions about three feet square. There is some talk of going to the convention, but at present it looks like about six strong. G. F. C. ST. LOUIS. The Market Reports regarding the flower market for the week of August 3 to 8 are not encouraging in either wholesale or retail circles. The flower receipts were large enough, but little of the stock could be classed as first grade, especially of roses and carnations. Quite a lot of extra good white and pink Cochet are coming in, which sell well, also good asters, fine valley and a few fairly good carnations. There are large quantities of tuberose stalks of the single variety. The retail trade has suffered some- what by the hot weather during the week and nothing much was worked up except for funerals. Various Notes. W. J. Pileher, of Kirkwood, left Sun- day night for a week's visit to Chicago, where lie has many friends in the trade. J. F. Ammann was one of the speakers at the Shaw banquet August 12. His topic was "The Florist" and he repre- sented the St. Louis Florists ' Club at the speakers' table. The Plant Seed Co., now located at 802 North Main, has one of the most com- plete seed establishments in the city, do- ing a strictly wholesale business. Fred Plant, known to all seedsmen, is head of the firm. They had a most excellent season. A. J. Bentzen, head of the Bentzen Floral Co., says that the two men who were recently hurt by a lime explosion have recovered and are at work again. They have a fine field of carnations, which they expect to house the latter part of the month. Their retail store on North Grand avenue is doing a nice sum- mer business. A call at the St. Louis Seed Co. found A SNAP IN BOXES D I HIS lot of boxes mutt be disposed of. "We marked them down to they will move last, and as long at they last you can have them at these prices.

Local trade among the florists was quiet last week, and what little business was done was due to funeral work. Ship- ping trade was somewhat better, but nothing to brag about. But even if business is dull, our local florists find plenty to do, getting ready for the cool- er season, when business is more brisk. There are plenty of roses to be had, and they are good. Carnations are a luxury. Asters are quite plentiful and take well, while longiflorums are in full splendor at the present time, and the demand for them could not be better, as the people always appreciate a change from roses, etc. The weather is extremely hot and dry, and a good rain is badly needed. Various Notes. Mrs. Elizabeth Young reports an im- provement in business within the last two we^ks. Mr. and Mrs. William Bitter are en- joying a summer's outing in Michigan, at the lakes. Walter G. Matthews has recently re- turned from Chicago, where he spent a few weeks ' vacation. He says that, al- though the weather was warm, he had a fine time. The Miami Floral Co. has just com- pleted the planting of its carnation range of 50,000 carnations. The stock is in fine condition, and gives bright prospects for a good supply during the coming season. George Bartholomew, John Boehner, Herman H. Bitter, Warren G. Matthews and Mrs. Bertha Hendrichs are some of our florists who intend to take in the S. A. F. convention at Niagara Falls. Prosperity seems to have smiled upon some of our local florists in the last few weeks. Warren G. Matthews recently installed a fine new ice-box, put in by the Orr & Lockett Hardware Co., of Chicago. A swell new delivery wagon, the property of the Advance Floral Co., is making its daily appearance on the streets. John Boehner has just completed a fine new greenhouse and cold storage cellar. E, H. B. VAYSIDE NOTES. A severe hail storm visited Warwick, N. Y., August 6, and did much damage to crops. At Bonny Brae, the fine plant of James Bonnyman, a loss of $1,000 was caused by broken glass. At Newburgh, N. Y., the craft are not experiencing a rushing time, funeral work being slow. Cut flowers are scarce, owing to the long continued drought. Asters and similar stock are poor. Car- nations are being planted and look well, considering the unusual conditions. The Yuess GRu-dens Co. has received its shipment of Harrisii bulbs; no shortage reported. A. M.

Meution The Revie\mnient. Two or three heavy showers during the week have helped everything outdoors wonderfully, and the knowledge that the backbone of the drought is broken is a great relief to the growers. Business for this time of the year keeps fairly good. Some of the local florists who will go to Niagara are: Harry Bieman and Herman Piel, who will start August 15 and go with the Cincinnati delegation; William Billingsly, Irwin Bertermann, John Grande, A. Wiegand and others, who will start about August 18 and go by way of Cleveland. Mr. Farhey, of Chicago, was a visitor this week. B. F. Hensley, of Knightstown, is cut- ting nice roses and carnations. Both he and his wife expect to attend the S. A, F. convention and will visit points farther east afterwards. Some fine asters are being shipped in from Chicago, the local supply being short, on account of dry weather and disease. The State Fair premium list is out. There is a considerable increase in the prizes for flowers, plants and designs, though, according to the rules, the entries will be very limited. S. INDIANA STATE FAIR. The Indiana State Board of Agricul- ture has authorized me to announce the following change in the rules governing the floral exhibits at the Indiana State Fair to be held September 7 to 11: Rule 5, which read, * ' Professional florists shall mean those who own or lease green- houses," has been amended so as to read, "Professional florists shall mean those who are regularly engaged in the raising or handling of plants or flowers for financial gain.

DETROIT. The Market Business did not open up Monday in a very satisfactory manner. The last week things were quite lively for summer and we were all in hopes that this would keep up. Still, a quiet Monday does not necessarily indicate that the whole week will be quiet. Stock is plentiful now, in all the dif- ferent varieties. Qub Meetinff. A well attended meeting of the De- troit Florists' Club was held at the club room the evening of August 5. The room was filled to the brim. Con- vention matters were discussed for some time. It was learned that the Detroit delegation will comprise about forty. Secretary Sullivan was instructed to issue invitations to Toledo, Grand Bapids and, in fact, all the brother florists who pass this way, to join with us. State Vice- president Pochelon has completed all ar- rangements with the D. & B. line for ac- commodations. There will also be ample room for any party which may decide to join the Detroit crowd. The Detroit party leaves here Monday, August 17, at 5 p. m., on the D. & B. boat. The annual election of oflScers was the drawing card of the evening. Things were pretty lively for a time, the final result of the election being: President, W. B. Brown; vice-president, M. Bloy; secretary, J. F. Sullivan, reelected ; treas- urer, Walter Taepke, reelected. The members have given up keeping track of the number of years Mr. Sulli- van has held the oflSee of secretary, but as long as he is willing it wUl be Sul- livan. His records of the minutes are always complete, and he is always on the job. "Walter Taepke will be in his third term as treasurer, and he has filled the office in a most thorough manner. The treasury has considerable funds at pres- ent and some thought it would be ad- visable to ask the treasurer to furnish bonds, but Mr. Taepke promised not to abscond. B. Eschner was a visitor at the meet- ing and, when called upon for a speech, he complimented the members on the A««UST 13, 1008.

Before the meeting adjourned, the president instructed Albert Pochelon to order a large quantity of campaign buttons, bearing the inscription, "For Secretary of the S. A. F.— J. F. Sulli- van." This goes to show the sentiment of the members of the Detroit Florists' Club, each one of whom is heart and soul for Mr. Sullivan, riot because he is from their home town, but because he is a splendid man for the oflSce. After adjournment the whole party were guests of W. B. Brown at Alt Heidelburg eaf6. Various Notes. Mrs. Meinhardt and several other lady florists from St. Louis were the guests of Mrs. Maynard, of Detroit, this week. After several days here they traveled on to Chicago, from whence they intend to retrace their steps and go to the con- vention city with the Chicago people. William Hielscher has returned from the west, about fifteen pounds to the good. He visited Portland, Seattle, Spo- kane, St. Paul, Minneapolis and many smaller cities, and is much taken up with the west. The writer is in receipt of a postal from Carlsbad, Germany, from Henry Fruck, and was pleased to note that Mr. Fruck's health is rapidly improving. B. Eschner, of M, Rice & Co., passed through Detroit en route for Philadel- phia, after being away eight, weeks. He reports business as having been very satisfactory. George Peters, of the Detroit Cut Flower Supply House, has been having a two weeks' resting spell, which has done him much good, after a season of close confinement to business. This firm is receiving some exceptionally fine asters from its Pontiac place. They are a new variety, long in stem, beautiful shell pink, and are readily disposed of at 4 cents, so you can judge for yourself. The reopening of one of our large dry goods houses, which met with a big fire Sist spring, created quite a flurry among the trade. Most of the florists had some of the work, but the bulk was turned out by one firm. M. Bloy, vice-president-elect of the De- troit Florists' Club, is a newcomer in these parts. Although still a young man, Mr. Bloy has seen considerable of the various phases of the florists' busi- ness. His first experience was with Will- iam Scott, of Buffalo, where he put in thirteen vears. He then became assis- tant superintendent of Forest Lawn ceme- tery, of the same city, where he put is four years. This cemetery comprises about 260 acres of land, and from fifty to seventy-five men are employed. In 1902 he went to Cleveland, where he was with the Ohio Floral Co. and J. M. Gas- ser Co.; then to New Castle. Ind., where one year was put in with Weiland & 01- inger. He now has the Rackham place, in this city, having purchased it some time ago. Mr. Bloy took an active in- terest in the club's welfare immediately upon his becoming a member and will, no doubt, make a splendid vice-president. Any member of the club wishing one of the club pins can obtain it from Al- bert Pochelon. The first lot has been nearly disposed of. C. A. Woodman, of Cleveland, was a recent visitor. H. S.

Stagnation rules, and the tide has not set in, but the change for the better is close at hand, and soon the thrill of growing confidence and pros- perity will usher in the strenuous season. Immense quantities of asters and gladi- oli literally flood the market. These, with the Hydrangea paniculata and the lilies, comprise ninety per cent of the ar- rivals. Roses lack stem and quality. Few good ones are found in the ship- ments, and the lower grades are hardly salable at any price. Before we retujn from the convention the outlook will be more cheering and the growers will take heart. Few carnations wortky of the name are received. The water lily sup- ply is undiminished. The greatest in- spiration now is the future and the gen- eral faith in the revival of business and an era of universal prosperity. Various Notes. Everybody is talking convention. Already over 100 acceptances of the New York Florists' Club's invitation have reached Secretary Young. If you are going, and have not sent in your name, phone or telegraph John Young without fail on Saturday and be at the D., L. & W. depot, Barclay street, before 10 a. m., Monday. Do not miss the special train. It will hold the largest crowd that has ever at- tended a florists' convention from New York. A few will leave Saturday, some by boat to Albany, but ninety-five per cent will join the crowd on the special train and participate iu the festivities of the ■ happy gathering. President Traendly was busy August 10 signing life membership certificates, thirty-three new members for the last week being the fruit of his efforts. He prophesies the biggest crowd of New Yorkers ever seen at a convention. He also advises all to locate at the International and Cataract hotels, the manager of which has given personal assurance of the best care and comfort for all members of the S. A. F. William Dilger, assistant commissioner of parks at Detroit, has been appointed sergeant-at-arms by the president, so that perfect order and harmony are assured. James McManus, with Mrs. McManus and child, will visit the convention via the river to Albany. A great many New Yorkers announce their coming in double harness. D. J. Mackintosh, the retail florist, has again distinguished himself. On Sunday, at Long Branch, he rescued four people from drowning. The city papers give him great credit for strength and bravery. He has been doing this every year for a long time, and is known as the life-saving florist. James Hart, the veteran, has moved to 111 West Thirtieth street, close to his old store of thirty-five years ago. Alex. J. Guttman celebrates his thirty- first birthday Saturday, August 15. A combination of growers, retailers and supply men has been formed in Brooklyn. The experiment will be watch- ed with widespread interest. Alexander McConnell has been in poor health for some time, and at present is confined to his room with neuritis. Some idea of the enormous fern ship- ments from New York and vicinity may be gathered from the fact that one house, McHutchison & Co., forwarded to their customers over 2,000 flats in the month of July. Their special packing depart- ment closed this month, and on Friday of this week Mr. Knickman left for Europe via Steamship Blucher. Orlando Harrison, of Berlin, Md., ex-p^sident of the American Association of (J^rserymen, was also a passenger. X^ The sympathy of the trade is extended James McManus in the loss of his mother. The funeral services took place Wednes- day, August 5, and many beautiful floral tributes attested the regret of his friends in his bereavement. Harry Bunyard returned August 7 from a successful western trip, and is preparing for a large exhibit of the firm's specialties at the convention. Wertheimber & Co. have a novelty in papier-mache work that will appeal to ' ^l Israel Rosnosky Will represent H. F. MICHELL CO. Philadelphia, Pa. At the Florists' Convention florists and which they will put on the market this fall in all sizes, forms and designs for holding flowers, plants and for window decorative purposes. Mr. Walter, of the Stumpp & Walter Co., is enjoying a holiday with his family on the Maine coast, where he has a summer home. Mr. Stumpp and wife will be at the convention, going by way of the Hudson river and returning via the St. Lawrence, Quebec, Montreal and Bos- ton. Ambrose Cleary, of Cleary's Horticul- tural Co., is now in Europe and ar- ranging for large importations of nurs- ery stock for the fall auctions, which will begin early in September. He will visit France, Germany, Holland, England and Ireland while away. John P. Cleary, of the Fruit Auction Co., who expected to take the ocean voyage over a month ago, is still in the city.

The Market Outdoor flowers, of which gladioli and asters are in heavy supply, are domi- nating features in the market at pres- ent. There are few carnations, these lat- ter being of poor quality. A good sup- ply of roses is still forthcoming, the small blooms being hard to dispose of. Lilium speciosum album is in good sup- ply, and proves popular for funeral work. The colored forms are also meet- ing with a fair call. Lilium longiflorum is of good quality for the season and L. auratum comes from one or two grow- ers. A few tuberoses are seen, but these are not in favor now. Sweet peas are of poor quality and evidently nearing the end. For asparagus and adiantum there is a fairly steady demand. Quiet condi- tions will probably prevail for some weeks, but the glut period is over and a slow but steady improvement is likely from now onwards. The Exhibition. Although there were only ten classes for cut flowers on August 8, at Horti- cultural hall, the main hall was well filled with many interesting exhibits. Owing to the early season, the perennial phloxes were hardly up to the average. For twelve named varieties first prize went to William Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener; George Hollis, second; T. C. Thurlow & Co., third; Bellevue Greenhouses, fourth. There was a fine display of annuals. For display of not less than thirty species, filling not less than 100 bottles, the win- ners were William Whitman, Mrs. J. L. Gardner and Mrs. E. M. Gill. There were a number of miscellaneous displays, including fine collections of her- baceous plants, from Bellevue Green- houses, F. J. Rea, Blue Hill Nurseries and R. & J. Farquhar & Co. Th© latter firm had a large collection of dahlias, receiving honorable mention for Charles Lanier and Queen Wilhelmina. They also had a splendid display of Lilium aura- tum. B. Hammond Tracy received honor- able mention for seedling gladioli and F. J. Rea a similar award for Delphinium hybridum Persimmon. Blue Hill Nurs- eries had a large collection of phloxes and William Whitman and Mrs. A. W. Blake, J. L. Smith gardener, general displays. Various Notes.

Train leaves at 8:23 a. m., arriving at Amherst at 11:34. James Wheeler and not Duncan Fin- layson should have been credited with the captaining of the winning tug of war team at the late club picnic. Interest in the coming Niagara con- vention is increasing and, while quite a number of our prominent members who usually attend will not be present, a fair delegation seems probable. Boston got a record rainfall August 7, nearly two inches of rain falling in forty minutes, one inch falling in ten minutes while the deluge was at its height. Henry M. Kobinson & Co. look for a considerable improvement in flower trade the coming fall and are preparing them- selves for a larger volume of business. Their summer shipping trade is quite good. American Beauties are of excel- lent quality for August. Robert Cameron leaves August 14 for a fortnight's trip to Nova Scotia. He visited a few days ago, in company with Professor Goodale, of Harvard College, the Scotch heather colony, six acres in extent, at Townsend, Mass. W. N. Ceaio. PHILADELPHIA. The Rising: Eastern Market. Business is quiet, so quiet that the wholesalers find the volume below the average for the first two weeks in Aug- ust. Asters are plentiful, and many of them poor quality. A comparison with last year shows that good asters today are not bringing as much money as the medium and sometimes poor grade asters brought a year ago. These conditions may be reversed by a turn in the market any day. Beauties continue the most popular roses. Eastern grown stock is still fine and fairly plentiful. Locally grown flowers are increasing in number and in size, but have not always the color when the sun is fierce. Kaiserins are also excel- lent, and plentiful^' Gladioli have been reinforced by the appearance of America, which is in demand at a high figure. Tuberoses are abundant.

Philadelphia to Niagara Falls. The main party of members of the Florists ' Club and their friends will leave Broad Street station, as announced last week, at 8:25 a. m. on Monday, August 17, for Niagara Falls. The route t&en will be over the Pennsylvania railroad, the destination being reached at 9:05 p. m. The hotel committee recommends the Hotel Imperial, $3 a day, and Tem- perance Hotel, $2 a day. All florists de- siring to join the party are cordially in- vited. Tickets at $14.80 can be pur- chased on the certificate plan, full fare, $9.25, being paid going; three-fifths fare, $5.55, being paid returning, the purchaser of a single ticket securing his agent's certificate, which is countersigned by the secretary of the society at Niagara Falls, when the three-fifths rate will be granted by the ticket agent there. Improvements at Hohnesburg. The street has been aware for some time that Charles D. Ball was devoting his whole attention to rejuvenating cer- tain of his houses at Holmesburg. It is a recognized fact that a grower who can go through the growing season success- fully, and at the same time carry on building operations, displays ability. When, in addition to this, force of cir- cumstances compels a change in his lieu- tenant, it requires more than ordinary ability to prevent the place from suf- fering. The palms and ferns in the houses of Charles D. Ball are finer today than I have ever seen them. Clean, sturdy, vig- orous plants, in perfect condition, ready to do him credit under almost any con- ditions to which plants are likely to be subjected. You will not be surprised, therefore, that I formed an even higher opinion of Charles D. Ball's ability than I have held in the past. His place shows that no detail, no matter how trifling, has been overlooked. In medium sized kentias he is especially strong. Large and small kentias^ are well represented. But the 6-inch size, perhaps the most favored in commerce, is stronger in pro- portion to the others than one usually sees. Latania Borbonica, the old stand- by, is exceptionally well done, mainly in medium sizes. Of the remaining plants, the impression created is that of the grower who selects the best and grows them to perfection. Charles D. Ball typi- fies what is best in Philadelphia flori- culture. Cultural skill, sound judgment, and conservative business methods are here combined to the best advantage. Variota Notes. Eobert A. Stewart, Jr., is marketing the hardy ferns gathered at his farm at Downingtown, Pa., among the wholesale and retail shops of this city. Mr. Stew- art is enthusiastic in his work and be- lieves it can be developed into an excel- lent business. The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. has an exceptionally fine stock of field-grown Enchantress, Joost, and Boston Market. Among the Philadelphians who will be at the convention at Niagara Falls are Frederick J. Michell, Edward J. Fan- court, Paul Berkowitz, B, Eschner, Ar- thur A. Niessen, Wm, P. Craig, Charles E.

The leader in vegetable growing under glass, W. W. Eawson, of Arlington, Mass., is dead. A portrait and brief account of his career appear on another page of this issue. GROWERS WILL CO-OPERATE. A meeting of greenhouse men and other persons interested in the growing of vegetables under glass at Grand Kap- ids, Mich., wiU be held in the farmers' club rooms in the courthouse at 2 o 'clock Saturday, August 15. It is the intention of the greenhouse men to form an or- ganization for the purpose of keeping in touch with the markets of the country. At the meeting oflScers will be chosen and a permanent organization will be effected. Other matters in connection with the business will be discussed. NEW TYPES OF LETTUCE. Preferences of the Markets. The growing of lettuce under glass is an important industry, especially in the east- ern United States, says B. T. Galloway in an account of the work of the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture. The large winter plantings of lettuce in Florida and other southern sections have to some extent curtailed the output of the glass-grown crop; still, the quantity of lettuce grown in greenhouses for special markets is great. "While a considerable number of types of lettuce specially adapted for culture under glass have been developed in the last fifteen or twenty years, none of them is entirely satisfactory. This may be said, of course, of almost any crop. In other words, there is opportunity for improvement in almost every crop that the farmer or gardener may grow. The eastern markets demand a head lettuce, while those of the west require a lettuce of loose type, that is, a lettuce without a head, but a good, vigorous grower. The shape, color and size of the plants have much to do with their mar- ketable qualities and their successful pro- duction. The eastern markets demand a medium-sized plant, that is, ranging from ten to twelve inches across, with a good, firm, light-colored head. The outer leaves of the lettuce should also be light in color, tender, and preferably curled •or puffed. This gives a type of lettuce in which the head can be used for salad and the outer leaves for dressing. Still more important, it is essential that the plant shall be hardy, quick to mature, not liable to run to seed early, and able to resist certain troubles that affect the plant under glass, such as top-burn, a physiological disturbance, and stem-rot, a fungous disease. For the more western sections of the country, as already indicated, the type of lettuce demanded is quite different from that\in the east. A loose head, light in color ^And of considerable weight, is de- manded by the markets. This type of lettuceXis more easily grown than the head ley;uce, not being so subject to dis- ease, ifiaturing more quickly, and being more uniform in growth. The Boston Market and Grand Rapids varieties rep- resent the two types, the first being a head lettuce, the second a loose one.

Efforts at Improvement, Various efforts have been made by those interested in lettuce to improve ex- isting types through selection. This was found to be a slow process, however, and very little progress was made. Four years ago the plan of hybridizing lettuces was conceived, and although the difficulties in the way were recognized an outline of the work was placed in George W. Oliver's hands and numerous crosses were made. The ideal type of lettuce desired was for- mulated, and with a view of securing this it was planned to cross the Grand Rapids lettuce with a small-heading type known as the Golden Queen, believing that by so doing strains could be secured which would give what was wanted both for the east and for the west. The Golden Queen lettuce is small in size, with a firm head and bright golden color ; it is hardy, but lacks adaptability to a wide range of conditions, and, moreover, lacks size and weight. The resultant crosses gave, as usual, many variations. Rigid selection of these crosses, however, has resulted in the se- curing of two types of lettuce which are different from any of those now grown and which, so far as conditions here are concerned, fulfill the requirements as originally formulated. New Headiag Variety. The first, which we shall call for the present No. 39-2, is a head lettuce, the result of a cross between Golden Queen and Grand Rapids. The original cross resulted in the production of several thousand seedlings, from which this par- ent was selected. Continuous selection under glass has resulted in practically fixing the type as desired. The plant is a rapid grower with a large-sized head; the outer leaves are a bright golden yel- low, while the inner leaves and head are If you grow VEGETABLES you need a live, practical, up-to-date weekly pai>er, especially devoted to that industry. The Weekly Market Grower* Journal "FILLS THE BILL,." Special department for Greenhouse Practice Mr. Eugene Davis, Grand Rapids, Mich., origin- ator of the Davis Perfect Cucumber and Grand Rapids Lettuce, writing us ucder date of July 27, 1!K)8, says: "I take pleasure in remitting $2.25 for three years' subscription to the Journal.

Mention The Review when you write. a bright yellow, shading off to whitish toward the center of the head. The head is firm and exceedingly tender and sweet. The plants under test here have been more resistant to top-burn and the daiiip- ing-off disease than the parents. Altogether, this new lettuce seems to be a promising type, and it is hoped within the next year or two to be able to distribute quantities of seed to those who are interested in the production of this crop. This variety is adapted espe- cially for cultivation under glass through the eastern United States. It has not been tested thoroughly out of doors, and no claims can therefore be made for its growth under these conditions. Eclipses Grand Rapids. The second type of lettuce which has been secured, and which is especially adapted to regions where the Grand Rap- ids variety is now grown, is known as No. 44B. This plant was raised in 1904 from seed secured by crossing the Golden Queen with the Grand Rapids during the summer of 1903. The variety is almost intermediate between the parents. At first glance it seems to favor the Grsind Rapids more than the Golden Queen. The leaves, however, are more crinkled and '" '■■■■ .*'^"<; August 13, 1908.

When fully grown the heart leaves come close together, as if making an effort to form a head. It may be said to be more compact than the Grand Rapids, of a de- cided yellowish-green color, forms more rapidly, and is not quite so t^l, but weighs more and comes to maturity quicker than its pollen-bearing parent. The flavor is said by some to be an im- provement over that of the Grand Rap- ids. So far no disease has been seen, but it has not been grown in large quanti- ties nor under varied conditions up to the present time.

FLOWER XXX Double Nosed Von Slon-28 Bulbs, 76 Open Flowers ■, • ^ J'^- The Weekly Florists^ Review^ August 13, 1908. Announcement To our Friends and Patrons, and to the Trade in General: We, the undersigned, do hereby beg to announce that we have consolidated our interests, and that, commencing on the 15th day of August, we will open our place at 144 N, Seventh St., Philadelphia, Pa., for the purpose of conducting a wholesale seed, plant and bulb business. It would be needless to sup- plement this brief announcement with numerous promises of what we intend doing, in order to insure our own success — a consummation devoutly to be wished under all circumstances. Suffice it to say that we are no novices in the business, and that our twenty years of hard experience on the road has con- vinced us beyond the shadow of a doubt that one "cannot fool the people all the time," nor indeed " part of the time," and come out on top — that, in order to win the confidence of the people (the short- est route to success), one must be sure to give a square deal in return. It is, therefore, our aim to give a SQUARE DEAL in return for confidence. Thanking you all for past favors, and sincerely hoping for a continuance of same in the future. Respectfully yours, S. S.

Tamminqa, who is a grower of onion sets in the territory south of Chi- cago, says that from the progress already made in the harvesting of sets, he is of the opinion that the yield of yellows will be fair, but not the bumper crop some are counting on. Ked and white will be scarce. The firm of W. A. Miller & Son has been incorporated at Lynchburg, Va., for the purpose of dealing in field and garden seeds. The maximum capital stock is $30,000; the minimum, $10,000. The oflScers are: President, W. P. Mil- ler ; vice-president, W. J. Pettit ; secretary and treasurer, H. B. Miller, all of Lynch- burg. W. Maxwell Green, United States consul at Bermuda, takes an optimistic view of the Harrisii situation. He says: "The director of the botanical sta- tion, with the help of many growers, has practically eliminated hybrid stock, and also the disease with which the Easter lily bulb has been affected. The Ber- muda bulbs that go forward this season may be depended upon as being of a high grade." IMPORTS.

THE MIXSON SEED CO. The seed business which has for some time been conducted as a department of the Southern Fruit Co., at Charleston, S. C, has been made a separate busi- ness, operating under the name of W. H. Mixson Seed Co. Started eight years ago, the growth of the business necessi- tated this change. There will be no change in management, W. H. Mixson, president and treasurer of the Southern Fruit Co., being the proprietor of the new business. L. Harry Mixson is also connected with the business, and repre- sented the house at the convention of the American Seed Trade Association in Detroit. Mr. Mixson visited the Michigan pea and bean growers at that time and before returning home he also saw the cabbage and other seed then growing on Long Island. Frank D.

He writes as follows: "Eegarding the present condition of crops in this vicinity, I would say that we consider both the seed corn and vine seed crops in a critical condition. At the time of the seedsmen's convention at Detroit we were of the opinion that the rainy season waa at an end, as we had had a series of storms and floods throughout June and it seemed as though they must, or should, end sometime. But on June 28 and July 5 we had the worst storms of the season, putting the Elkhorn and Platte rivers out of their banks and inundating much of the low lands. "Since the heavy storm of July 5 we have had no rain and the ground has become very hard. Corn planted on shallow soil is already firing and unless we have good rains very soon all corn will be cut short. "A large percentage of the late va- rieties of sweet corn, which are grown on bottom land, were drowned out and considerable of the earlier varieties, which were being grown on rolling land, were washed out.

"The vine seed crop, especially cucum- bers and melons, was weakened by the continuous wet, cold weather of June and early July and the green aphis has done considerable damage, although they are not spreading as in 1902. Squashes are doing much better than other vine crops, although the storms damaged the crop to quite an extent. "The onion set crop is now being har- vested and many fields are a great dis- appointment, although a few pieces are yielding very heavily. "Taking the season as a whole, it has been the most unfavorable we have ever experienced in seed growing." RE APPRAISEMENTS.

' ' The Japan crop, according to last advice, is normal, with the exception of the so-called Formosas from the island of Oshima, which are reported short in large sizes. Formosas have suffered owing principally to dry weather. The gigan- teum crop promises to be good in some sections. There are large quantities sold and a shortage would not come unex- pected. Longiflorura and multiflorum are expected to show a decided improvement over last season, and the demand is stead- ily increasing.

Wood & Sons, at 13 South Fourteenth street, Richmond, Va., and for a time threatened the safety of the city. Starting in the second story of the Wood place, the blaze crept gradually up, steadily gaining headway, until the entire second and third floors were a mass of seething flames and smoke. The flames spread to the third floor of the building just to the south of the ware- house, occupied by Christian Winifree & Co., wholesale dealers in fancy groceries, but they were entirely confined to the third story, and were extinguished be- fore any great amount of damage had been done there. In the building to the north of the warehouse, which is occupied by Stokes & Grimes, wholesale dealers in heavy groceries, the damage done by the fire M-as slight, but the loss caused by the water will amount to a considerable sum. Altogether the damage, according to rough estimate, will be between $40,000 and $50,000. H. W. Wood, a member of the firm of T. W. Wood & Sons, stated that stored in the building was between $8,000 and HnHaanHaHnnMQinMnanHnanHaH IMajestyi I Mignonette I n ■ □ H n H D ■ ■ D H □ H n ■ ■ n H ■ n ■ n H n ■ D ■ a H D H □ ■ D ■ n H □ ■ D H □ ■ n H □ H D ■ n ■ ■ □ □ H □ H n H n H n ■ □ H D ■ □ H n ■ n H □ H □ ■ n H □ H □ H □ ?J-<« -v:fe ^r^. ^^^,Jx,^ n m □ Boddington's Majesty Mignonette Recognized by the growers as the best paylne and flnest fancy Mignonette grown.

The building, which is practically a wreck, is gutted from the second story up, and the damage to this alone will amount to many thousands. Mr. Wood left the next day for a trip abroad. "If the fire had been on the other side of the street," he said, re- ferring to his place diagonally opposite the burned warehouse, * ' I possibly would at least have had to postpone my voy- age. ' ' NEW ORLEANS. The Market. Business keeps as dull as last month, and the weather, also, shows no change. It is raining every day. Chrysanthe- mums are none the worse from it, outside ones having more vigor and better foli- age than those under glass. The three consecutive months at 100 degrees or more of heat were rather more than the latter could stand, and it takes any amount of ventilation and dampness to keep them healthy. Chrysanthemums grown here in a sash house, that can be opened or closed at will, give, no doubt, the best satisfaction in our climate. The tuberose, an important flower for sum- mer cutting, is poor this year. Various Notes. M. Cook's Sons have been building a new house, 15x78, for general flower- ing stock. They have also let a contract for another one, 21x110, and sixteen feet high. This will be a palm house. Among their other houses, they have one planted in bouvardia, in solid beds.

One of the kinds they grow outside is Silver Thimble. Mr. Cook claims to be the introducer of this flower, having received it in 1883, with different varieties, from England. It has- certainly proved to be a good acquisition and should be planted more extensively. It makes a fine, light bunch of flowers, not being so clumpy and stiff as many other sorts. The large patch he has planted looks fine — better than any other that I have seen this year. He has, also, a new seedling of his own — Maybel, which is promising. Mr. Cook, wife and daughter, are go- ing to the Niagara Falls convention, and will tour, at the same time, Canada and some northern cities for over a month. P. Worner, of Worner Bros., has for the present in his charge the establish- ment of Mrs. Kehm, on St. Charles and Napoleon avenues. The Avenue Floral Co., with R. C. Eichling as manager, looks fine, with a new coat of paint and its miniature park in front. Many beds at the City park are plant- ed out with such a great variety of crotons as can only be grown in a southern locality, such as New Orleans. They attract much attention and do credit to their grower, Frank Brocker, the gardener. Joseph Steckler had his family in- creased by a boy. This completes, if we count right, the first half dozen. M. M. L. SYRACUSE. N. Y. L. A. Guilluame, the carnation grower, is becoming quite a farmer as well ks florist. He has a four-acre patch of melons in fine shape, which promise some delicious eating. Traveling representa- tives coming this way, please note. G, Bartholme believes in early plant- ing. This week he is housing his carna- tions. The plants look fine, and so does all his other stock. W. E. Day, store manager for R. R. Quinlan, is spending his vacation at Red- wood, on the St. Lawrence river, with his family. Bannister Bros, are at work on the walls of a new fern house, 10x100. Their stock of ferns is looking fine. Vice-Commodore Mann, of the H. D. Mann Co., is attending the races of the Interlake Yacht Racing Association, on Cayuga Lake, and reports fine sport and interesting races. B. NEW CANAAN, CONN. It is unusually dry weather around this vicinity, damaging many plants and small W. E. Marshall, seedsman of New York city, called on J. T. Burns, gar- dener for Miss C. A. Bliss, the other day. The Misses Childs have had a new Burnham boiler installed for their con- sen'atory. Edmund P. Lawrence, florist for Miss C. A. Bliss, is getting along nicely at his new position. Roses, numbering about 500 plants, are doing nicely at the Lindenfield green- houses, Richmond and Killarney being mostly grown. Frederick Fuhrmann, gardener to Dr. J. W. McLain, was badly bruised while trying to assist one of his helpers from an uely bull that belongs on the estate. E.

Asters and sweet peas are the best flow- ers grown here at present. Carnations are pretty good, considering the season of the year. Tea roses are shipped in from Oil City and Beauties from Buffalo. Various Notes. G. H. Baur has returned from the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, where he has taken up the study of law. He will spend his vacation in Erie. J. V. Laver had some good hardy phlox in his gardens this year. Wm. F. Kasting and family, of Buf- falo, N. Y., are spending the summer in Erie. Mr. Kasting is proprietor of the Erie Floral Co. E. C.

Blair says that plant trade here was a record- breaker during the last season. His peonies were never before so good as this year. Sweet peas are looking fine and all summer flowers are growing fast, though later than usual. Everybody in the resort region, he says, is doing a good business this year. Lawrence, Mass. — Early in May, Thornton Bros, offered a $25 gold watch for the best 200 sweet peas grown from seeds purchased at their store, the flow- ers to be brought to the store Saturday, August 1. On that date, accordingly, the prize was awarded, and the public was invited to call during the day and in- spect the specimens offered in competi- tion. W. E.

There is a notice- able scarcity of roses of all varieties, with the possible exception of whites, and good prices are the rule for this class of stock at present. Carnations are in heavy supply. But few of the growers have commenced to change their houses, and until they do, owing to the favorable weather, there will be a quantity of stock offered. There is but little thrips to be seen this sea- son. The cold weather has kept it backward and never has the quality of stock been better in San Francisco than that seen here now. Of outside stock, sweet peas are still the best sellers and many growers are bringing in stock from new patches sown early in the spring. Lilium rubrum and L. silbum are coming into market rapidly. They are principally grown under lath houses. They cost the stores from $1 to $1.50 per dozen stems. Amaryllises are now at their height. They sell whole- sale at from $2.50 to $4 per hundred. Sweet sultan, coreopsis, gaillardias and other flowers of this kind are very plen- tiful and can be had at any price. Various Notes. Word comes from San Diego, Cal., of the death of Walter Cooke, the land- scape architect, August 6, at the Wil- lows, a summer resort in the mountains near Alpine. Mr. Cooke, as chief engi- neer of the San Diego City and County Boulevard Commission, was driving through the country viewing roads, with the idea of their adornment with shade trees at the proper season, when an acci- dent to the harness resulted in dropping the wagon pole and frightening the horses. Mr. Cooke was thrown out of the wagon and fell down the side of the road, a distance of about fifty feet, breaking five ribs and dislocating a shoul- der. He lay where he fell for several hours before being discovered. One of the broken ribs had punctured the lung Petunias Petaoias Seedlings of my Champion strain of Giants of California and RufBed Giants, from flats and ^-inch pots, $1.50 and $3.00 per 100.

Parsons, of New York, the authority on landscape culture, and with him came to plan park and boulevard improvements in San Diego. Mr. Cooke was 55 years of age and unmarried. The Floral establishment of Clarke Bros., on Clay street, Oakland, was bur- glarized during the night of August 1, and a considerable sum of money was taken from the cash drawer. L. A.

A number of funerals lately have caused considerable work for the retail- ers, and that is about all. Asters are al- most a failure here this year. Various Notes. K. Zeidler bought Ben Kramer's old houses, tore them down and put up two houses out at his place. One has been planted to roses and the other to carna- tions. Nellie Goodge has a tent near her greenhouses, under which they do their repotting, etc. It is raised high enough to give a good circulation of air, and is quite a comfort to her help. Joe Elspermann was married in the morning of August 5. He has the best wishes of all. H. Seymour has the best asters seen about here. His newly planted carnations are looking well. Eoyston & Fenton have been cutting lots of short roses, as the first crop on carried-over stock. L. CINCINNATL The Market. This summer's business continues to average up well and we have every rea- son to be satisfied with the total sales. Now and then comes a day when there is nothing doing, and then, again, there is an oversupply in some line of flow- ers, but the average is good. At present asters are scarce, and many more, es- peaially of the better quality, could be used to advantage. Roses are about equal to the demand. Carnations are scarce. Gladioli are in heavy supply and only those of the best quality sell at a paying figure. A few lilies are coming in and they sell at sight. In green goods we are well supplied. The severe hot spell, which lasted for such a long time, has at last been broken and we are having delightful weather. The hot spell was broken by a heavy rain, but, aa luck would have it, it waa only local. The country around here is suffering greatly for water and the re- ports from up the state show considerable loss from this cause. The local aster crop has been damaged a great deal. There is also a report of considerable damage being done by a little bug which bores into the bud, causing the flowers to be deformed. Various Notes.

His chrysanthemums, of which he has nearly 10,000 plants, are among the finest in the city. Mr. Miller has a convenient and at the same time unique cold storage room. It is in the shape of a cave dug into a ■hillside next to his greenhouses. The walls and floor are of concrete, making an economical as well as a delightfully cool room. D. U. Augspurger & Sons will give a fishing party to their employees and friends this coming week. D. U. Aug- spurger met with a painful accident last Saturday. He was assisting in shipping a large box of ferns, when in some un- accountable manner his right foot was caught between the case and the wagon. It will be some time before the foot will be entirely well. William Wrigley, with D. U. Aug- spurger & Sons, treated the greenhouse employees to a lot of pears which were sent him from his old farm home near Hanna City, 111. Paul, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Loveridge, passed away at the fam- ily residence, 723 Arcadia avenue, at the age of three months and eighteen days. Mr. Loveridge has the sympathy of a wide circle of florists. H. C. K.

A Wonderful New Nephrolepis Nephrolepi$ Superbissima Introduction of 1908 We d^eire to call attention to this new fern, which originated with us and which we are introducing this year. It is a very unique and distinct novelty— as distinct from Nephrolepis Piersoni and Piersoni elegantissima as they were from Bostoniensis. It is, in fact, a complete break. The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae over- lapping, making the fronds very dense "and compact. It differs from the other Nephrolepis not only in form , but also in color, being a richer and darker greem— entirely different from the yellowish green of all the other Nephrolepis. The plant is very sturdy in its habit, the fronds never breaking down. While a photograph shows a similarity to its predecessors, it is absolutely distinct, not only in the formation of the fronds and color, but also in its habit and general characteristics. It makes a much more dwarf and compact growth, the fronds being very dense, firm and rigid, and having a great deal more substance, so that it will stand more knocking around than any other fern of this type. It is a sterling novelty. Experts who have seen it consider it by far thebest {em ever sent out. It is a plant that needs to be seen to have its great value and sterling qualities appreciated. It really is not in the same class with the other varieties. • It was awarded a r'irSt=Cl3.SS ^6rLlTlCd.t6 by the Royal Horticultural Society at Crystal Palace in London, November, 1908, the plants exhibited there having been shipped from New York two weeks before that time. After being exhibited in London, the same plants were shipped to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they were again awarded a First-class Certificate by the Scottish Horticultural Society. This will indicate the value of the plant as a novelty, and also demonstrates in a very conclusive manner its fine keeping and shipping qualities. We have just begun shipping advance orders, and new orders can now be shipped immediately on receipt. Do not fail to see our exhibit at the S. A. F.

The games and winners are as fol- lows : 4 One-hundred-yard dash — Sam Burns first, Frank Shaw second. Running broad lump — James Craig first, Al- bert Hopper second.

We have had plenty of rain as well as the hot weather lately, and everything looks fresh and green. The fall flowers are now in bloom — asters, golden glow, dahlias, etc. The picnic of the Gardeners' and Flo- rists' Club at Highgate Springs, July 29, was not very well attended, but a pleas- ant time was spent. A number of our boys are going to the convention, among whom are Messrs. \V. Hall, J. Bennett, Hopton, G. Robinson, McKenna, and others. Some of the mem- bers' wives are also going, and a good time is expected. Miss Gibb, of Hall & Robinson, has re- turned from her vacation. Miss Campbell reports business as good, with plenty of good stock to fill orders. Campbell's had the decoration of the ta- bles at the banquet given in honor of Earl Roberts, as well as numerous other orders connected with his visit here. J. Bennett is shipping to Montreal some splendid asters, etc. McKenna & Sou are rearranging the interior of their west end store. The large stairway has been pulled down and the greenhoftse moved farther back. Miss Marnell, the lady in charge, leaves next month to be married. The annual flower show of the Lachine Horticultural Association will be held in the Town Hall about August 19 and 20. Tommy. Cleveland, O. — Charles Bramley, of the firm of Charles Bramley & Son, has re- tired from the business, and his interest in it has been purchased by his partner, W. A. Bramley.

NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS GOING TO THE CONVENTION : TOO WELL KNOWN '^Q We cordially invite our customers and delegates going to or returning from tht convention to stop off at Philadelphia (our place is right in the heart of the city) and pay us a visit and see our large stock of araucarias, etc., grown on the spot, and inspect them thoroughly. I consider this the best way to make an exhibit. Araucarias Our Specialty WE LEAD THE COUNTRY IN ARAUCSRIAS ARAUCARIAS! ARAUCARIAS!! ARAUCARIAS!!! "Vl Houses full of them whichever way you look. Why? Because the everlasting evergrreen foliage of this beautiful decorative plant gives it such a striking and charming appear- ance that everybody falls in love with it and buys a plant for their parlor, summer porch, office, store or shop and it is selected freely for gifts. The song of the frog is " Croak, croak, croak," but the "froggie" here is happy, plays the flddle, and his tune is, "Prosperity! Don't croak, don't croak, don't croak; be happy, make business, make money." Sit down a few minutes and write out an order to Godfrey A.schmann Over the sea together we go, Aschmann and I, with plenty of dough. I'll play the flddle to make some fun. He seeks the best plants under the sun; Palms and azaleas, many a score. Araucarias better than ever before. In Belgium my music will make people dance. While he'll buy to give his patrons a chance To pile up the dollars the people will pay With gladness to take such beauties away.

Our seed is saved from about 12,000 plants, carefuUy selected, when In bloom, from the 500,000 we grow for our spring sales.

As a result of over 25 years' work along these lines, we feel justified in claiming to have the best strain of pansies on the market, and ws invite trial and comparison.

FOUR CONNECTED HOUSES. I have four houses, connected. Each house is 21x110 and seven feet to the gutter, with two feet of side glass on the outside houses. All the houses have raised benches. The south gables are glass and the north gables are protected by service buildings. How many lines of 1^-inch pipe will be needed and how should they be arranged to heat these houses to 60 degrees in zero weather, in this Wisconsin climate? What size of boiler should be installed? The boiler will be located on the level of the green- house floor. What device should be in- stalled to return condensation to the boiler? Kindly state what size of pipe should leave the dome of the boiler and what size the risers should be. E. H. O. The bank of houses in question can be heated by using a 2 1^ -inch flow under the ridge of each house, with thirteen 114 -inch returns in each of the exposed houses, placing the odd pipe under the bench nearest the outside wall, and with twelve 114 -inch pipes in each of the two center houses. If the boiler is tapped for a 4-inch flow it will be adequate and the main return need be only 1^-inch or 2-inch, which, under the construction, will have to be discharged into a hot well or receiving tank, from which the condensed water can be returned to the boiler by a return steam trap or by a pump driven by electricity, gas or steam power. L. C. C. TWENtV-THREE-FOOT HOUSE. I wish to heat a house 23x100 with hot water to 50 degrees when the tempera- ture drops to 20 degrees below zero. One side and end are exposed. The boiler is in a pit in one end of the house. I have 11/^ -inch and 2-inch pipe. Will four 2- inch flows and sixteen l^^-inch returns on the side walls be enough, or would it be better to run two flows of 21,^ -inch or 3-inch pipe instead of the 2-inch? J. O. G. The sixteen l^/^-inch returns should be ample with a boiler temperature of 180 degrees. Two 2i^-inch flows will be suf- ficient to supply these returns, and in my judgment will be more desirable than four 2-inch flows. L- C. C. ONE CARNATION HOUSE.

No. 2 are for carnations and miscella- neous plants that require 50 to 54 de- grees; No. 3 for roses and srailax, re- quiring 56 to 60 degrees in Ohio climate. The boiler-shed is at the west end and the water level of the boiler is below all returns. My plan of piping is as follows: No. 1, 20x80, is to have a 3-inch flow over- head from the boiler to the east end of the house, branching in a coil of four pipes on the north side, three pipes in the middle and two on the south side. No. 2, 20x80, is to have a similar 3-inch flow, two pipes on the north side, three in the middle and two on the south side. No. 3, 20x70, will have the 3-inch flow and three returns on the north side, four in the middle and three on the south side. All the returns are to be l^^-inch pipe. I wish to use hot water in mild weather and steam when it is cold. Will the piping be sufficient and will the 1%-inch pipe serve the purpose ? C. F. K. The plan you propose is a good one and is worthy of much more universal use than it now has. The connected houses can be handled by using a 21/^ -inch flow under the ridge of each and placing four, three, and two li/^-inch returns under each of the benches in house No. 1. For house No. 2 use the 2i/4-inch flow and two, three, and three li/^-inch returns. The largest number of returns in each case should be under the most exposed benches. House No. 3 had, I believe, better be provided with four, three and four pipes under the three benches. Ar- range the expansion tank so as to give good pressure and connect it with the main return near the boiler. Provide valves and pressure gauge, so as to allow quick conversion to the steam system when desired. L. C. C. VINDMILL EXPANSION TANK. I have a Wilks hot water heater 30x48. Should the boiler and pipes be left full during the summer, or should the water be drawn out? I have a windmill about 180 feet from my boiler, with a water tank thirty feet high. If I connect with it, would it an- swer for an expansion tank without any other expansion? M. A. B. Yes, leave the boiler and pipes full of water during the period they are not in use. The whole plant should be flooded, after having been thoroughly flushed out at the close of the season. The winflmill tank will make an ad- mirable expansion tank and should in- crease the eflBciency of your hot water plant considerably over a low expansion tank. L. C. C. FROM STEAM TO HOT WATER. I have two Furman boilers with which I am heating my place of about 10,000 feet of glass, by steam. Can I change to hot water and would it be economical to do so? My boilers are about five feet from the top to the highest point in the steam line. I am using 2-inch flows and 1^4-i°ch returns. Could I still use the l^-inch returns and 2-inch flows, by increasing the number? W. S. K. The information that W. S. K. has supplied, relative to the system itself, is rather meager and we have no knowl- edge as *to the exact methods of mak- ing connections. We can see no reason, however, should the steam pipes be run rOET WISE to the fact you will by installing The Martin Rooking Grate.

Writ* tor Prices and CataloKu* for supply connection to the individual coils. The ventine of all coils should be at the high point for water instead of the low point, as is the case with steam. If W. S. K. is using the Furman sec- tional boilers, it will be a simple matter for him to change their construction. However, should he happen to have one brick-set boiler, it would be a rather diflBcult matter, as well as expensive, for him to make the change. It would mean that the long side tubes surrounding either side of the fire-box would have to be cut down and new tubes supplied having bottom connections for connect- ing to the return header. On the Fur- man steam boilers the domes are all con- nected together near the top of the boiler and the return connections are directly at the rear, and this arrange- ment would, of course, be impossible to use in connection with water.

Roses, Killarney, Kaiserin and Richmond, were good, with long stems and with foliage free from mildew in all cases. Carnations were on the wane, but asters took their 'place. The stores are flooded with speciosum, but the great de- mand occasioned by four funerals of prominent business men helped to keep them moving. The latter part of the week roses and carnations got scarce again. Everyone, unfortunately, seems out of crop at the same time. The weather cooled off, and on the whole is better for the stock. Various Notes. Miss Whitted left August 9 for a trip east, taking in the convention before she returns. James Souden had the bulk of decora- tions for one of the big funerals, and put out some artistic pieces of work. A blan- ket of lilies was among them. The L. S. Donaldson Co. made up a blanket of purple asters which was very effective. O. C. Swanson had a lot of funeral work all the week. The store is attract- ive, with its baskets and jars of outdoor flowers, poppies, sweet peas, gladioli, etc. The Minneapolis Floral Co. is among the heaviest in the cutting of speciosum. Among the visitors was B. Eschner, of Philadelphia. M. E. M. Mebiden, Conn. — R. W. Barrow is erecting a greenhouse, 25x100, on New street. It will be heated with hot water and will be equipped with one of the best modern ventilating systems. When this house is finished, he intends putting up a large house for growing ferns, palms and bulb stock. A STIC A ifeenhojtsej USEJTIIOW* F.O.PIERCECO. P.O.

The Fairview Floral Co., Beattytown, ■went into the hands of a receiver August 4, A. H. Hahn and other prominent Springfielders are stockholders. The ac- tion was the result of a petition of two of the heavy stockholders, Dr. Clarence H. Kay and Mary S. Kirkpatrick. S. F. McGrew was appointed receiver. The assets were given at $23,600, and the liabilities at $13,350. Dr. Kay and Mrs. Kirkpatrick own 3,960 shares of the stock, the par value of which is $1. The company is capital- ized at $10,000. The assets consist of apparatus, valued at $200 ; plants, valued at $3,000; business, valued at $5,000; and real estate, valued at over $15,000. Of the $13,350 indebtedness, $150 are ac- counts payable, $7,000 bills payable, $6,000 mortgaged notes and $200 labor. The receiver will proceed with the business with a competent man in charge and dispose of as much of the stock as possible. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Kirkpatrick desired to carry on the busi- ness he had started, and with this end in view, a company was organized. The business w&a conducted on a paying basis for two years and then began to lose money. JACKSONVILLE, FLA. Preparatory to making a large increase in equipment and in scope of trade, the business of Sawyer & Payne has been incorporated, under the name of the Jacksonville Floral Co. The capital stock is $15,000. The officers of the new or- ganization are: President, James H. Payne; vice-president, H. L. Sawyer; secretary, A. N. Duncan; treasurer, C. E. Heston. The designing and decorating will be under the charge of Mr. Sawyer, who has already an established reputation in that class of work. Mr. Duncan is an expert landscape gardener and grower of trees and plants. Mr. Heston, the treasurer, is an experienced financier. Mr. Payne, whose entire time will be devoted to the developing and upbuilding of the business, says: "It is our inten- tion to rapidly add to the number of greenhouses now in course of construc- tion, and materially increase the acreage of our already extensive nursery at Ever- green cemetery." The company will open a store at 20 Laura street. Winona, Minn. — Plans are being car- ried into effect for the rebuilding and en- larging of the greenhouses at Woodlawn cemetery. Part of the work is being done this year and part will be under- taken a year from now.

Our desire to please A Wonderful New Nephrolepis Nephrolepis Superbissima Introduction of 1908 We desire to call attention to this new fern, which originated with us and which we are introducing this year. It is a very unique and distinct novelty— as distinct from Nephrolepis Piersoni and Piersoni elegantissima as they were from Bostoniensis. It is, in fact, a complete break. The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinntf over- lapping, making the fronds very dense and compact. It differs from the other Nephrolepis not only in form, but also in color, being a richer and darker greea— entirely different from the yellowish green of all the other Nephrolepis. The plant is very sturdy in its habit, the fronds never breaking down. While a photograph shows a similarity to its predecessors, it is absolutely distinct, not only in the formation of the fronds and color, but also in its habit and general characteristics. It makes a much more dwarf and compact growth, the fronds being very dense, firm and rigid, and having a great deal more substance, so that it will stand more knocking around than any other fern of this type. It is a sterling novelty. Experts who have seen it consider it by far the best fern ever sent out. I-t is a plant that needs to be seen to have its great value and sterling qualities appreciated. It really is not in the same class with the other varieties. It was awarded a r'lrSX'Cl&SS WCrLlTlCHXe by the Royal Horticultural Society at Crystal Palace in London, November, 1!)0.S, the plants exhibited there havinK been shipped from New York two weeks before that time. After being exhibited in Londoq. the same plants were ishipped to EdinbarKh, Scotland, where they were again awarded a First-class Certificate by the Scottish Horticultural Society. This will indicate the value of the plant as a novelty, and also demonstrates in a very conclusive manner its fine keeping and shipping qualities. We have just begun shipping advance orders, and new orders can now be shipped immediately on receipt.

A. VALENTINE, Denver, Colo. Vice-prerident, E. G. GILLET'f', Cincinnati, Ohio. Secretary, WILLIS N. RUDD, Morgan Park. Ifl. Treasta-er, H. B. BEATTY, Oil Qty, Pa. The twenty-fourth annual convention, which opened at Niagara Falls, N. Y., on Tuesday, August 18, proved as great a success as had been expected by the most enthusiastic, save that the facilities did not come up to the promises of Mr. Cutler, the eloquent gentleman who, at Dayton and Philadelphia, told us so convincingly of the pleasures and profit to be derived from a convention at the Falls. But the fact that the accommodations were inadequate was no fault of the hospitable gentlemen who backed up Mr. Cutler's promises with the utmost that they had. The Cataract-Interna- tional Hotel Co. gave up the entire first floor of the Cataract House to the pur- poses of the convention. They permit- ted C. H. Keitsch, superintendent of the trades ' display, to take possession of parlors, ball-room, dining-room and ev- ery available space he could find and do >vith it as he would. They permitted without protest the roughest treatment of carpe^ and woodwork, such as is in- cide«tal to installing a great trades' dis- play^ they never winked an eye when thousands of feet of lumber were dragged into their parlors for staging, and they did not appear to hear the sounds of hammer and saw resounding in one of the world's famous hostelries (for the oldest part of the Cataract was put up in 1822 and has housed presi- dents and princes), and they did not say a word until they saw the plantsmen spilling water over the ball-room 's hard- wood floor, with warping thioatoaed — then they asked for "saucers" under the pots, and Supt. Keitsch supplied pie- plates. All this the hotel company's officers endured with a smile, for they had of- fered the space without charge to se- cure the convention for their city, and they were too good sports to spoil the game — but it is dollars to doughnuts they never would have let the trade ex- hibits in if they had any idea of the carload after carload of stuff that was to come down upon them. They prob- ably thought florists' exhibits would be flowers. The trades' display was the greatest on record. It overcrowded the many large rooms given over to it and flowed out upon veranda and lawn, and even at that Supt. Keitsch was obliged to turn down applications for over 2,000 square feet of space. Twice as much rooiu might easily have been used. Supt. Keitsch 's troubles were multiplied by the inadequacy of the space, but he handled his task with a minimum of friction. The boilers, building materials and heaviest exhibits were placed in a floored tent on the lawn. The exhibits as a whole served to give a new idea of the way our trade has broadened and the multiplicity of arti- cles now necessary in the conduct of a florist's establishment doing a general business. Individually the exhil;>its were more elaborate than ever, more attract- ively staged and notable for the number of novelties shown. It proved that as the trade broadens bright minds are at- tracted to the problems of meeting its needs, and instead of having approached the highest development, we are in real- ity only at a beginning, for as rewards increase so will creative endeavor. Niagara Falls is a splendid convention town and ideal weather favored the gathering of a big crowd. And there certainly was a large attendance, but just how large it would be hard to say. There was no one room large enough to hold at one time all who were there, and no record Avas kept for purposes of issuing entertainment tickets. Not all registered. Suffice it to say that the at- tendance was so large that the aisles in the trades' exhibit were pretty well con- gested most of the time, and there was ail oapecially large proportion pf ladies. First Business Session. Vice-president George W^ McClure called the convention to order promptly at -2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. He be- lieves brevity is the soul of wit and ap- plied the theory in his introductions. E. T. Williams, editor of the Cataract Journal, extended the usual welcome as the repre- sentative of the mayor. He paid his respects to floriculture in due form and, among many other things, offered assur- . - ances that the future of Niagara Falls would have been safe even without out- side interference, as the citizens feel too keenly the importance of the cataract as a means of attracting visitors to permit of encroachment on the flow of water by the power plants. P. O'Mara, of Jersey City, replied to Mr. Williams and in characteristic style thanked hi*i. for the things he liad said, .. and for some left unsaid, but he warned i([ him that, while we are willing to leave' the falls in the hands of the local people, should we see signs of overlooking public interests the society will take up the quest of an accounting. At the conclusion of Mr. O'Mara's ad- dress President F. H. Traendly was in- troduced and received an ovation. After brief words of thanks he took up routine business and put it through with dis- patch. His address was as follows: President's Address. In preparing^py address to you, 1 am following a custom established by all of my predecessors. I have no thought of outlining any policy which would help to build up our society to the numbers to which its good work for the different branches of our business entitles it. I know well that every conceivable plan for accomplishing tins has been tried. . The florists of the country have had an object lesson, showing the value of organized effort to attain results, in the success of the society last year in ap- pearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission for the purpose of compell- ing the express companies to revise their freight rates. The contention of the S. A. F. prevailed, thus financially bene- fiting many florists throughout the coun- try. This one instance should prove to everyone, grower, retailer, wholesaler and supplyman, that his interest lies in be- coming a member of the S. A. F. They may then see that many problems which they have fa<»ed at some time during their career A^i conquered with diffi- pulty, if at all, "would have become easy if they had been members of the S. A. F. Advantages of Membership. To the younger men of our business who expect to make their liying in the florists' business, being a member of the S. A. F. will gain them much valu- able information, as well as the experience and advice of our older members; and '» • to the young men whose experience is *• confined to one branch of our business, • there is no better way of gaining a gen- eral knowledge of the business than by attending the meetings of the S. A. F. We have just passed through one of the worst panics this Country has had in years, and I think the florists' business is to be congratulated, in that it has weathered the financial storm as well as it did. To my knowledge, very few failures have occurred, and while flo- rists in general have not made the money they have made in recent years, I feel that I am safe in saying that most of them have more than paid expenses. I think this is much better than most manufacturing concerns were able to do. Overproduction of Flowers. Ex-president Burton and Ex-president Breitmeyer, in their messages, called attention to the large amount of green- house building going on at that time. 20 The Weekly Florists^ Review* AuoL'ST 20, 1008. President Traendly Reads His '^Address." and both felt that it would tend to over- production, and their predictions, I think, have since been verified. All through this last season, especially, has this been so in regard to carnations, the New York market alone receiving at least four times as many of these flowers as were ever received before in any one season. This overproduction has reacted on the producer to the extent of a large amount of worry as to the disposal of his stock. r Considering a season like the last, r when flowers were abundant and cheap, it would seem to me that this was a most opportune time for the retailer, who is the only outlet the grower has, to give up the handling of painted iron or wax flowers, and also the use of cheap galax leaves, and advance the sale of greenhouse production. This would give the men who are the backbone of our business a chance to get more of the money which the intending purchaser meant for flowers. Council of Horticulture. The knowledge has come to me on numerous occasions of the good work done by the National Council of Horti- culture in distributing articles through the daily press. • Some of our largest dailies have given whole pages to these papers on the planting and care of dif- ferent kinds of plants, some of these articles being beautifully illustrated. I think our society should donate a liberal sum to keep up this good work, as in no other way can I conceive of so much good advertising to our business having been done for so little money as has been subscribed in the past. National Flower Show. . This, I think, is the most important undertaking in the history of the society, and the success of our first national flower show should be the earnest wish of every member of the S. A. F., from a financial a« well as an artistic point of view. On the success of our first show much depends as to whether the society will continue to give shows in the future, and it behooves us from all parts of the country, especially those of us in the east, to put our shoulders to the wheel — to contribute to the best of our ability whatever we have to exhibit in the line of plants or cut flowers, with- out concerning ourselves particularly as to whether the premium offered will com- pensate us for the value of the goods exhibited, but remembering, that our re- ward is to come in increased future busi- ness. National Flower Show and Private Gardeners. To the men in charge of large private estates we must look for help in making our show a success. These men are in ,a position to exhibit the finest specimen plants, as well as the finest chrysanthe- mums and other cut flowers. I know the question has often been asked by some of the private gardeners, ' ' What does the S. A. F. do for ust" and we might answer that all of its energy is devoted to the cause of horticulture, from which all of us derive our liveli- hood, and therefore the society ^ deserves the support of every florist and gar- dener. Horticultural Education in Public Schools. Much good has been done in the past by our society, and by some individual members, in the assistance lent to the different cities and the national govern- ment in pushing along the good work of horticultural education in the public schools. I am sure we all appreciate the refining influence such education will have on the children, and I therefore hope that the good work will be kept up. Registration of Ornamental Plants. The Bureau of Plant Industry, De- partment of Agriculture, at Washington, has under consideration the matter of a plant registration bureau, the plan of which would, I am sure, only require the indorsement of the S. A. F. to be put in operation. And if tried and found to bo practicable, it might lead up to other things from this department — public trial grounds, for instance. After conference with the Washington authorities, the following plan of regis- tration has been outlined and is pre- > sented to you in the hope that the mat- ter will receive your earnest attention at this convention. Object of Registration. To secure uniformity of nomenclature for a given plant, and in the interest alike of the originator, seller and pur- ciiaser, to secure accuracy of description in trade catalogues, and to prevent error and confusion by exploiting as novelties, urder new names, plants already in the trade with established names. To protect in America the rights of the originjttor or first introducer of a new variety or form of ornamental plant, by maintaining a record of the name of the originator, the parentage of the new form and the date of its presentation for reg- istration. Mctfaod of Procedure. The registration of introductions and novelties is to be encouraged by secur- ing the cooperation of the 8. A. F. and allied organizations, but effort will be made to secure information and keej> records of as many introductions as pos- sible, whether request is made for regis- tration or not. A list of all the names found in Amer- ican trade catalogues will be compiled, and these names, together with names found in such standard lists as th(? "Official Catalogue of the National Dahlia Society" (England), Simon ct Cochet 's ' * Nomenclature de tons les Nome de Roses," Coit's "A Peony Check- list'' and other similar lists, shall con- stitute a standard list of names which may not again be used for plants be- longing to the same group. From this list as a basis, a check-list of the plants in the American trade will be prepared as soon as the information can be se- cured, giving the correct botanical name of each species and, so far as can be determined, the name by whiund sectional boiler. C. B. Weathered, New York, had a large Spencer water tube boiler, for which the selling agency is held; also literature illustrating and describing greenhouse construction. The Detroit Steam Trap Co., Detroit, had its trap in operation, showing how traps automatically keep the steam coils free from the water of condensation. The Morehead Mfg. Co., Detroit, had on exhibition one of the well-known Morehead traps for returning to the boil- er the water of condensation in steam pipes in greenhouses. The trap works as well when the boiler is on a level with the pipes as when it is in a pit. f]. Hippard Estate, Youngstowu, O., set up a Standard steam trap for return- ing condensation to steam boilers. Pumps. The Standard Pump and Engine Co., Cleveland, consummated a long cherished plan by showing two of its pumps in operation. It is the first time iiv recent years that the conditions surrounding the trade's display would permit of ope- rating gas or gasoline engines in it. They showed a double-acting deep-well pumping engine and a double-acting shallow-well pumping engine, each tak- ing water from a well and working di- rectly into a line of the Wittbold water- ing system set up outside on the lawn. Concrete and Tile Benches. E. If. Hunt. Chicago, had a line of To-bak-ine products, fertilizers, hose, the Success sprayer and the Wittbold special- ties for which the sales agency is held. There was a good length of concrete bench, showing in its various stages the entire process of building this bench with the use of the Wittbold clamps and leg molds. This was the center of much interest, for it shoAved better than^ould pages of printed matter just how to use these specialties. Many growers still think that Hunt sells the whole bench and not merely the leg molds and clamps for holding the bench mold together, in spite of the circulation of much care- fully prepared printed matter. The ex- hibit also showed a section of the Witt- bold mechanical watering apparatus in operation on the lawn, and the Wittbold plant stand in use for a decoration of Wittbold kentias and Boston ferns. In- vert the stand and it becomes a vase for • long-stemmed flowers. The Wilson-Hoyt Co., Short Hills, N. J., put up a section of concrete-steel bench. One-half showed the completed . bench, the other half the metal mold in place for filling in the concrete. Drain- age is provided by means of a ridge in the mold that leaves half-inch openings seven inches apart practically the entire length of the bench. They take con- tracts for putting up completed benches. The Camp Conduit Co., Garfield build- ing, Cleveland, O., put up an "Ever- lasting" tile bench. This consists of legs and bottom pieces of hard tile, so molded that the pieces are interlocking. The side piece is of wood. They also showed a section of bench of split tiles without the interlocking feature. Bate Bros., the Cleveland growers, who for- merly sold a bench of this character, sold out to the Camp Co., who have the facilities for making the tiles in quan- tity. It is said twenty-two carloads of this bench have been sold in the last two months. Pots and Pottery. The Ionia Pottery Co., Ionia, Mich., had its usual line of flower pots, bulb pans and lawn vases; also a line of standard wire designs, which is a recent departure for this house and one which they think will work in well with pots, as a large proportion of the buyers' of pots also make up funeral work. The Roseville Pottery Co., Zanesville, O., had a large display of jardinieres, )>edestals, umbrella stands and similar goods in glazed pottery. The exhibit oc- cupied large space and was well spread out, so that a large number could ex- amine it at one time. The Whilldin Pottery Co., Philadel- phia, exhibited its full line of standard pots, all regular sizes being included, and some special pots. W. H. Elverson Pottery Co., West New Brighton, Pa., had a large line of standard pots. ^ A. H. Hews & Co., North Cambridge, Mass., had an exhibit of the line of pots made continuously since 1765. Peters & Reed Pottery Co., Zanesville, O., showed smooth red burned flower pots and a line of jardinieres. Wm. P. Craig, Philadelphia, staged a table of Italian pottery in a variety of shapes and sizes, and a couple of fine plants of Amerpohlii adjoining the ex- hibits of the Robert Craig Co. J. Ginther's Sons Co., Buffalo, had an exhibit in iron lawn vases and settees. Detroit Flower Pot Mfg. Co., Detroit, had a display of round bottomed red pots. The Zanesville Stoneware Co., Zanes- ville, O., had a table for a display of its green glazed flower vases. Carnation Supports. The Heim Support Co., Connersville, Ind., had a regulation greenhouse bench fitted with the Heim carnation support and the safety clips for attaching wire stakes to the guide wires. Both these devices are well known to the trade and need no description. Geo. E. Browne, Greenfield, Mich., had an exhibit of his new carnation support called American, on which he was given a patent March 14, 1907. The special feature is an expanding ring. H. D. Seele & Sous, Elkhart, Ind.. showed tieless plant stakes, trellises and supports. I. L. Pillsbury. Galesburg, HI., had a table for his carnation staple and showed Ai'.JCST 20, 190S. The Weekly Florists' Review. 3J blooms with split calyxes iiioiuled with liis device. O. J. Jawort Co., Wausau. Wis,, had a section of bench equipped with the Common Sense carnation support. Kring Bros., Fairbury, 111., exhibited a new carnation support such as they have made for use in their own green- houses. Paper Boxes. The Edwards Foldiug Box Co., Phila- delphia, had a line of cut Hower boxes, full telescope and half telescope. Hummel & Downing Co., Milwaukee, showed their line of cut flower and de- sign boxes, and violet boxes in staple and novelty styles. W. J. Boas, Philadelphia, had a large line of cut flower boxes, the printing showing the names of some of those who give him their business. Miscellaneous. The Crowl Fern Co., Millington, Mass., showed hardy cut ferns, laurel roping and other evergreen decorations. H. J. Smith, Hinsdale, Mass., had a table of hardy cut ferns and other green goods. Benj. Hammond, Fishkill, N. Y., had a line of his specialties, including a bar- rel of his special greenhouse paint, Twemlow's glazing putty, slug shot, etc. H. E. Wilson, Madison, N. J., had an exhibit of his insecticide, called Plant Oil, also of rubber hose. The Larkin Soap Co., Buffalo, had a table of sulpho-tobacco plant and ani- mal soaps. F. O. Pierce Co., New York, made an exhibit of Mastiea, Mastica machines and paint. J. Horace McFarland Co., Harrisburg, Pa., exhibited advertising literature, horticultural photographs, etc., including the new process of color photography. T>. B. Long, Buffalo, had an exhibit of florists' printed matter. W. F. Kasting, Buffalo, made an ex- hibit of wire work, etc. A. T. De La Mare Printing and Pub- lishing Co., New York, had a table of horticultural books, etc. O. G. Koenig, St. Louis, exhibited a comer lock for hotbed frames, invented by F. L. Doubrava. By means of it the frames can be quickly taken apart for storage when not in use. Niagara Sprayer Co., Middleport, N. Y., exhibited sprayers. W. F. Kasting Co., Buffalo, exhibited a pulverizer for soil, sod and fertilizer. The Deming Co., Salem, O., made an exhibit of sprayers. The following were represented by signs: Buffalo Cut Flower Co., Buffalo; E. F.

The first meeting of the Ladies' S. A. F. was held Tuesday at the hall of the Shredded Wheat Co., Presi- dent Mrs. W. ,T. Vesey in the chair. Mrs. Chas. H. Majnard is secretary; Mrs. E. A. Seribner, treasurer; Miss Meinhardt, first vice-president; Mrs. A, F, Sibson, second vice-president. The attendance numbered nearly fifty. The adjourned meeting was held in the same hall at 10 a. m. on Thursday. The secretary 's report showed a mem- bership of 117. Sincere regrets, be- cause of inability to attend, were tele- graphed by Mrs. U. G. Virgin, of New Orleans. Mrs. Dilger suggested the ap- pointment of an introduction commit- tee to further sociability among the lady members and the visiting ladies as well. The value of acquaintance and more thorough fraternity was eloquently portrayed. The natural diffidence of the gentler sex and the value of reci- procity received due comment. Miss Fulmer spoke against the necessity of any committee, the society pin forming a sufficient introduction, and her opin- ions prevailed. The treasurer, who has been inde- fatigable in her labors in behalf of the society, reported a balance of $118 from last year's balance after all ex- penses had been paid, and further re- ceipts making the amount now in the treasury $184.50. The next meeting of the society, after the close of the pres- ent convention, will be held in Chicago, at the National Flower Show. A conference committee to .suggest important duties at that time was ap- pointed: Mrs. Vaughan, Mrs. Hauswirth and Mrs. Kuhl. The holding of a special ladies' day at the convention of 1909 was left to the executive committee. Mrs. Vaughan spoke for the National Flower Show and the wisdom of giving a prize on that occasion, moving that $50 be appropriated for that pur- I)ose from the society's treasury. This was unanimously approved. Mrs. May- nard generously guaranteed that, if the expenses of the year amounted to more than the surplus, she would furnish the prize from her own exchequer. A discussion ou the form of prize to be given caused much good-natured dis- cussion. Some of the ladies suggested, naturally, a loving cup; others $50 worth of spoons, while all agreed the prize must be something the winner would always cherish. Mrs. Fisher, Miss Fulmer, Mrs. Vesey and Mrs. Phil- lips gave valuable advice, beautiful, but useless, things being severely criti- cised. The vote to give $50 in gold was a unanimous rising demonstration, of which the male element may be justly proud. Nominations for president for the coming year resulted in two contests, which will be decided Thursday morn- ing. For president, Mrs. Vaughan and Mrs. Vesey; for treasurer, Mrs. Herr and Mrs. Scribner. The balance of the officers were reelected, including the efficient board of directors. Thurs- day morning Mrs. Maynard announced a reception at the Shredded Wheat building for all the members and their friends, including husbands, sweet- hearts, etc. Miss Fulmer demonstrated rare executive ability and parliamen- tary knowledge in the discussions. Strict adherence to law and order char- acterized the societv-'s deliberations, and opportunity to be present and wit- ness the harmony and ability of the ladies was quite an inspiration. At the meeting Thursday morning the Ladies' S. A. F. selected Mrs. J. C. Vaughan president and Mrs. A. M. Herr treasurer, other officers being reelected. Those Present. With so large an attendance, and par- ticularly with a convention held where so many were but a_ short rail or trolley ride from their homes, and ran in only for the day, it is impossible to give a Mr. Poehlmann, Modest President of the Rose Society. n The Weekly Florists' Review.

By John P. Cowkli.. Buffalo, N. Y. [Bead before the Society of American Florists, In convention at Niagara Falls, August 18 to 21, 1008.) Few phases of scientific investigation are of greater interest, or hold forth more promise of profitable results, than the studies which are being made in re- gard to the fertility of our soils and their conservation. To the gardener the subject is of prime importance, whether his work be in the open field or under a roof of glass; whether engaged in the growing of the primary food products, or in the production of materials for decoration and the expression of the higher aesthetic feelings of mankind. That we are still in the experimental stage of agriculture can hardly be de- nied, though we are slowly approximat- ing to a scientific basis. Theory and practice are often at variance, probably from a misunderstanding of the meaning of the facts before us. These differences will in time be eliminated, and our prac- tice will constantly become more exact. That we still have many things to learn about our soils and their relation to plant life goes without saying, but at the present time I think we are not all making the best use of the knowledge which has accumulated on these subjects. In this paper will be found little that is original, but rather an attempt to col- late and place before you some of the more striking facts and theories current at this time. Some Fundamental Facts. In these days of intensive gardening, all questions relating in any way to the suppJy and assimilation of the elements of fertility are of vital interest, as upon their correct solution depends the final profit or loss. In order that we may discuss these matters more intelligently, let us briefly review some of the fundamental facts which underlie the subject, as well as some modern theories of fertility and assimilation, and the relation of various factors which enter into the problem of .plant growth. Tfce great bulk of plant tissue is made up of starch, cellulose and water, with a .smaH amount of proteids or albuminoids. These, reduced to their simplest terms, mean carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen, which, together with potash, phosphorus and a little lime and sul- phur, make up the list of essentials. Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen in gaseous condition are everywhere pres- ent in the atmosphere, while potash, phosphorus and lime and sulphur are found to a greater or less extent in most soils, and are the elements wliich be- come exhausted, and have to be renewed. Of these latter elements sulphur may be' omitted, as it, like some other elements of minor importance, is usually found in sufficient quantity. Tlie Tripod of Fertility. Of these substances the most expen- sive, and at the same time the most evan- escent, is nitrogen. The soil will not hold it ; it is here today and there to- morrow. It is inordinately fond of fresh fields of activity, and so impatient of confinement that it has to be constantly kept at work and watched lest it escape into the atmosphere from whence it came, or enter into some combination which secretes it and deprives the plant of its services. The usual sources of sujiply for fer- tilizing purposes are animal substances. Mcs. Chas. H. Maynard. (Secretary Ladies' Society of American Floristsi stable manure and natural deposits of nitrates. Potash is a more stable elentent, though likely to be lost by leaching, and is ob- tained in commercial quantities from wood ashes and from the nitrates and sulphates. Phosphoric acid is commonly bought in the shape of ground phosphoratic rock, from bone, horn, hair, from fish and from basic slag. These three elements have been called "the tripod of fertility." Complete Fertilizers. A so-called complete fertilizer, as pre- pared by the manufacturers, will con- tain, we will say: Fifty pounds of avail- able nitrogen, worth,* at 19 cents per pound, $11.40; six per cent, or 120 pounds, of available phosphoric acid, worth, at 5 cents per pound, $6; five per cent, or 100 pounds, of available potash, worth, at 5 cents per pound, $5, making a total cost of $22.40 per ton, of which more than one-half is represented by the nitrogen. From whatever source these elements are obtained, they must be soluble in water in order to be available to the crop. Potash and phosphoric acid can be applied to the soil at any time, and the loss from leaching or otherwise is not very serious, while any surplus beyond the present needs of the plants will be retained for future use; but nitrogen ap- plied in excess is, as a rule, nitrogen wasted, and, as we have seen, this is an expensive fertilizer. This leads us to the theory, which has the support of good practice, that nitrogen should be applied in small quantities and often, rather than enough at one time to per- fect the crop. There are combinations of nitrogen, however, as in stable ma- nure and animal matter, which require time to unlock and render available. Such compounds may be applied in larger quantities some time previous to the planting of the crop, or a time allow- ance made to enable tlic proper forces to tear the combinations apart and ren- der the nitrogen fit for assimilation. The high price ol^ nitrogenous fertiliz- ers has caused careful search to be made for the purpose of finding cheaper sources of supply than those above men- tioned. Partnerships in Plant Life. To understand the reasons for some of the studies which have been made with this end in view, it will be well to review some of the theories of the inhalation of nitrogen and the forces which are supposed to play an important part in the reduction of nitrogenous compounds and the secretion of the product within tiie plant tissues. Some of the moat in- teresting chapters m the history of plant life are those dealing with the relation- ships between widely different organiza- tions where a partnership is formed for the mutual benefit of the parties con- cerned. It was formerly supposed that all plants growing upon others were par- asites, or, to use the somewhat ' ' yellow ' ' language of Grant Allen, they were com- mitting * ' robbery and murder. ' ' When, nearly forty years ago, Frank made the startling assertion timt ' ' the beech is a j)arasite on a fungus, ' ' he did not mean just what we would ordinarily understand i)y parasite, but that the betn-h was sim- ply dependent for its supply of nitrogen upon a mycorrhiza or root fungu*. .Modern investigations have shown that many of the associations are far from i)eing criminal, and that the two mem- bers are mutually dependent on one an- other for existence. To this peculiar ar- rangement has been given the name of symbiosis, which, being interpreteil, means "a living together." Most plants of the higher orders are dependent for their supply of nitrogen on that which is soluble in water, while some of the lower forms are able to extract it from its compounds, or, as some claim, from the atmosphere, a statement, however, which needs proof. Of the lowly forms which possess these |X)wers of nitrifica- tion, perhaps the most familiar are the maligned bacteria. To these simple micro-organisms we probably owe most of the reduction of organic remains, the breaking down of complex, and the for- mation of simpler soluble ones. Benefib From Bacteria. It is maintained that a symbiotic re- lationship exists between our red clover and the nitrifying bacteria, and that the little swellings or tubercles which are or- dinarily to be found on the roots of the clover are the homes of the bacteria; that the bacteria supply the nitrogen necessary for the growth of the clover, and. in return, take from the clover ../..._., ri.-wjj^jTlPtmTfr, 36 The Weekly Florists^ Review* August 20, 1908. such elaborated food as they may re- quire. Such tubercles may be found on the roots of beans, peas, or, in fact, on al- most any of the leguminous plants. Whether the bacteria can take nitro- gen from the air may well be doubted, but it is a pretty well established fact that they can extract nitrogen from com- binations that are beyond the power of higher plants. So firmly has the belief in this association been established that it has become the practice to inoculate the soil with the proper bacteria when legumes are to be grown on soil where their natural symbionts are lacking. This inoculation is often made by the transfer of some soil from a fertile field to the new location. One can obtain on the market pure cultures of bacteria suit- able for various crops, and sow with the it. Among our cultivated plants which depend more or less upon the heip of the root fungus, we may mention some of the orchids, gerardias, polygalas, some eri- caceous species and many others. If you will examine some of these plants, or, to be more exact, if you will place a thin section of their root on the stage of a microscope having a magnifying power of about 900 diameters, you will be able to trace the mycelium of the fungus in- vesting with its anastomosing fibers the outside of the root and penetrating through the epidermal cells of the host. The Work of Ferments. In speaking of the ferments Ave are prone to infer that the work is all done by the micro-organisms already referred to, but it seems that still more important in the economy of plant as well as ani- '>*?■' Scene of this Week's Convention of the ^. A. F. (Cataract and International Hotels, at NlaRararFalls.) seed. That the use of these cultures is not uniformly successful does not dis- prove the theory, but rather indicates that the preparations are at fault or that they are not properly applied. Qover as a Fertilizer. Long before those relationships were known, tlie fact was realized that if a good crop of clover could be grown upon a field it could safely be relied upon to grow a good crop of corn or wheat the succeeding year, and this notwithstand- ing the fact that the clover had been cut and removed in the form of hay, the ex- tensive root system of the clover, with its stored nitrogen, being sufficient for the succeeding crop. The action of fungi of the unicellular type in breaking down organic com- pounds has long been recognized, and put to use in many industries — witness the jeasts and other ferments of this class — but their mutual relationships with the higher plants are subjects of quite re- cent inquiries. To recur to the stat<»ment in regard to the fungus and the beech, we find that in this case we have a fungus of a higher and much more com- plex organization, a fungus which, in- stead of b(>ing a microscopic unicellular plant or a collection of similar cells, is really a structure having organs highly diflferentiated and making in some stages of its growth a conspicuous object to the naked eye. Here, too, it is believed that a symbiotic relationship is maintained, and that the mycorrhiza, in return for the nitrogen secreted for the higher plant, takes its pay in starch or sugar which it is unable to make for itself. Investigation shows many cases of symbiosis between plants containing chlorophyl and those which are without mal life are the unorganized ferments or enzymes. It now seems likely that these enzymes may have an important bearing on the fertilizer question. Just what tlie nature of these substances may be, at the present time we do not know, as it is difficult to collect them in a pure state. That they are highly nitrogenous, however, is generally believed. But it is their action which concerns us most. It is said that these ferments bring about changes by their mere presence, or at least without loss of their own- sub- starito. That is what is called catalytic action, just as the presence of certain metals in a solution will precipitate other metals. These enzymes exist in all parts of the active tissues of the plant, and are found in abundance upon the growing point of roots. They evidently have the power of reducing the starches, fats and ))roteids to 'forms which can be directly assimilated and used- in the building up of tissues. In fact, it appears that it is to the work of those enzymes that the bacteria and other simple forms of vege- table life owe their power of rendering up in such a remarkable degree the nitro- gen contained in albuminoids and other compounds. The enzymes have been studied principally as they appear within the plant body. They are not themselves organized, and arc products, not parts, of the vegetable cell. They can bring about their characteristic changes as well outside as inside the body; and an inter- esting question is how far these sub- stances may extend outside the plant body, and if it is not possible that in some genera of plants the work of col- lecting nitrogen from the soil is due di- rectly to them without the intervention of the fungus. Physical Condition of Soil. In discussing the fertility of the soil, there are other factors than the presence of chemical elements necessary for plant food. The food must be accessible, there must be a supply of water for solvent purposes, and there must be a sufficient amount of heat to encourage the action of the dissolving agencies. The physical condition of the soil plays a very impor- tant part in determining the fertility of the soil. Air and water are not usually spoken of as fertilizers, but they, never- theless, are vital to the success of the plant. The soil must be of such charac- ter that the air can circulate among the particles and come in contact with the rootlets. The soil must also be in such condition that it will hold a certain amount of water, and it must be of such consistency that the root hairs can visit every little grain of earth in search of nutriment. . The soil must not be so fine as to ob- struct the free passage of air and water,' nor so coarse as to allow either to flow through in currents. What we need is a happy medium, where the spaces between the soil particles are such that a mere film of water encirdes every one, or what is called hygroscopicKholding of moisture. In this condition l^e soil is capable of. absorbing and hold^g the greatest pos- sible amount of iij^rtrients in a readily accessible manner, ^jn this condition, too, •it will maintain a ^ore equable tempera- ture and become f?a more comfortable home for nutrifying^^ bacteria. This phys- . ■ ical condition of the soil is brought about by tillage, and it is frequently the case that proper hauv^ling of the soil makes all the aitference between success and failure. Reasons for Loss of Fertility. So much for some of the factors which ' we have to consider in increasing the fertility of our fields, and now let us consider briefly some of the causes of loss of fertility. We are apt to attribute loss of fertility entirely to absence of available plant food. That such is not always the case will be evident to anyone who has had long experience in garden- ing operations. In the originally fertile farm lands of central New York, where a rotation of corn and wheat and clover, or wheat, clover and grass, or something of that kind, was pursued for long years, we heard complaints of lessening fertility. The land would no longer grow clover, or, as the farmers expressed it, the land was * ' clover sick. ' ' This land still grows a fair crop of corn or potatoes or the grasses, but clover must be given a rest; and is uncertain. After a few years' rest, probably, the clover grows again. There are failures of other crops, it is true, failures which are often, and perhaps justly, attributed to exhaustion of the soil, or at least of certain of the elements. The theory is that the land must be rested or a rota- tion pursued which will allow of a recov- ery or a renewal of the missing element. It is such occurrences which have been re- sponsible for our systems of rotation of crops. Is the Soil Exhausted, or Poisoned ? The unsatisfactory part of this ex-, haustion theory is that, no matter how much fertilizer we may supply, we can- not get certain crops to succeed them-, selves annually through a long series of years and give satisfactory returns, while certain other crops can be grown annu- ally on the same plot for a generation ^i'fr^^^i-fwr ■'y»^'>TT^™^ •■TTiyFrirT"^'- ACGUST 20, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 37 ami iiicToase in fruitfulness from year to year. In looking for an explanation which explains, we naturally recall the fact that all living things in the course of their growth use only certain portions of the crude material which is taken into their systems, and reject other portions more or less changed in character. These rejected, waste or by-products may be thrown off from the organism or packed away in some unoccupied corner. These refuse portions are often useful as a food for other organisms, though some are very poisonous, particularly to the organism which produced it. You will doubtless remember that the bacteria and other micro-organisms are notorious in this direction; they not only give off refuse matters which are excessively poi- sonous t« some other forms of life, but in the end they destroy the bacteria from whence they came. These secretions of waste matters have been given the name of ptomaines, and instances of severe illness or even death from the use of ice cream or cheese con- taining these ptomaines will perhaps be more or less familiar to you. Now, it is possible that our "clover sickness" and other like occurrences ard due, not to exhaustion, , l)ut to the pres- ence in the soil of tUj^e ptomaine poi- sons. Perhaps the cl<;^to itself may not be the direct victim, wBfc' the uutrifying bacteria so necessary to the growth of the plant may be killed by their own toxic refuse. If this is true of clover, it may be true of other plants Mhich de- cline to succeed themselves for any length of time. If this theory of ptomaines is tenablej we have an explanation of a puzzle. There is, of course, a great difference in various plants in the character of their secretions. The Rothamsted experiments showed, if I remember rightly, that wheat could be grown on the same land for at least twenty years and the yield be on the increase. Some other crops are known to do well year after year in the same soil, a fact well known to gardeners, and I can recall one instance of rye being grown on the same field for twenty successive years without any apparent loss of vigor. Renewal of Greeohouse Soil. Regarding the behavior of many of the flower crops which are grown under glass, we have but comparatively few facts available. The general impression is, I think, tiiat tliey will not do their best unless the soil is entirely renewed each season. Whether this is due to poi- soning of the soil or to the exhaustion of some food element, or to a change in the physical character of the soil, has not been determined, as far as I am aware. If the loss of fertility of the soil in our greenhouses is due to physical changes, it is a serious matter, for it means the removal and renewal of the soil once or twice a year, an operation both laborious and costly. In the broader practice of field work these losses can be more read- ily corrected; at least, we do not have to move our soil to the crops, but can move, our crops to the soil, a compara- tively easy matter. Fertility can be maintained by proper rotation aiid the recuperative forces of nature. We staijd, in need of more work in the investigatioii of the losses in our green- house work, and it seems to me that the experiment statiok* mi^t help us in thdt direction. •'"*._^ .

CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Convention week is always one of the quietest of the year; not only are many of the buyers and ^grholesalers away from home, but it is approaching the turn of the tide, and the K)ld saying is that it always is darkest just before dawn. The wholesalers all are looking for fine busi- ness this autumn, %ith trade beginning to pick up September 1. In spite of the ^og days, those houses which make a feature of summer stock are doing a good business. There is an excellent demand for good roses, and carnations, or astez^, if of good quality, find ready sale. Also, lilies are selling steadily. In certain quarters it is de- cidedly quiet, because there is nothing to do business witb^ but the houses that looked forward for summer business have not been disappointed. The ship- ping demand continues better than local trade. , There are slightly increased supplies of roses, a fact which probably may be re- corded in each issue for the next several weeks. The cut ftom young stock does not amount to mikch as yet, and what Beauties are received hardly suffice to meet the orders already booked; it is not easy to fill on late telegrams. Nor is it possible to nil all orders for Kil- larney, although the supply is increasing. This rose has so -thuch the best of the demand that it usually is sold out early. There is still a good call for asters, although last week's rain did much to improve the cut and prices are lower, particularly on th^ poorer grades, which were commanding figures considerably above their real value. There are now considerable quantities of field-grown car- nations, of coursd short in stem, but otherwise of good quality and selling well. Indoor carnations are not often seen. Qladioli are largely used for window decorations, and the light colors in funeral work, but asters and lilies are the standby of the design-maker. Au- ratums are about through, but there is an abundant supply of Easter lilies, pro- viding enough time is given to get the stock in from the greenhouses. There is little stirring in the market for green goods. Profited by Early Purchases. The two advances recently made in the price of window glass put that com- modity back almost to where it was be- fore the financial upheaval, and Poehl- mann Bros. Oo. i« a good, big winner through having bought nearly 5,000 boxes of glass when prices were at the bottom. The new range, which has been under contemplation for several months, will go up in September and will require about 4,800 boxes of glass. There are to be thirteen houses 27x350, nine houses 27x 250 and one house 18x265, making a total of twenty-three houses, covering over 188,000 square feet of ground. The Rain. The rain August 11 and 12 was of inestimable benefit. It not only gave the aster crop a fresh start, but it made a lot of money for the carnation growers who have plants in the field. In addition, it put renewed life into al- most all lines of business. In twenty-four hours the precipitation was 4.35 inches, which is the heaviest day's rain recorded in Chicago since August 3, 1885. It followed ten weeks of drought. Varioot Notes. The Parkside Greenhouses, at the cor- ner of Seventieth street and Adams ave- nue, not far from Oakwoods cemetery, seem to be getting a fair share of the midsummer retail trade. Mr. Collins, the proprietor, began business there seven years ago, renting the establish- ment for five years. At the expiration of the five-year lease he purchased the property, including nearly an acre of ground. At present he has two houses in ferns and palms, one house in chry- santhemums and one in carnations, be- sides a good quantity of bedding stock. The membership list of the Chicago Association of Commerce, under the head of florists shows only two names, those of Percy Jones and John Man- gel, but E. H. Hunt is found included among the seedsmen. The association is doing good work in advertising Chi- cago, "the great central market." Peter Beinberg will have no carnations at the home p&ce this year, the new range of houses on the farm being de- voted exclusively to this flower. At the home place practically the entire estab- lishment will be in roses, except for a little asparagus and space for valley, Easter Ulies, etc. The Schillo Lumber Co. says this is an excellent opportunity for growers to buy pecky cypress, not only for their needs the balance of this season, but for next year. The price is lower than it has been in two years, and it is likely to advance with the return of ac- tivity in general business.

He returned from New Mexico in hopes of selling his greenhouses at Maywood, but has not succeeded. Scheiden Ss Schoos are making elab- orate preparations for the dissemination of their red seedling carnation next Jan- uary. They have planted 25,000 of it for cut blooms for exhibition, and for cuttings. The variety is yet nameless, but it will have a good, catchy title by the time of the fall flower show. It is interesting to note that a clerk in a downtown book store, who grew a crop of sweet peas in his garden this sea- son, received $56 from a commission man on one week 's sales and $50 on the next. The result is he is now building a green- house and by another season will be a full-fledged florist. Bassett & Washburn took advantage of the benefit of the rain to get in two additional houses of their red seedling, O. P. Bassett. They have practically 60,UU0 planta of it now benched. J. A. Endlong is not cutting much now, most of the houses of roses being in process of drying off. They replanted only a small part of the place this year, the greater part of the grafted stock bein^ carried over. Carnations have been planted some little time and are mak- ing a good start. Mike Rocklin, who has been with Bas- sett & Washburn since he withdrew from the firm of Fisher & Bocklin, at Kala- mazoo, has formed a partnership with J. Lehman, and they will start business as Bocklin & Lehman, at 405 Douglas street, Sio\ix City, la. Sparks from a Michigan Central freight train set fire to the dry grass near the plant of the Thompson Carna- tion Co., at Joliet, the other day, just before the big rain, and it required con- siderable effort to save the greenhouses. At one time one of the greenhouses was on fire, and much of the stock in it was destroyed. The loss was estimated at uiore than $1,000. Charlie Ernie is at home from West Baden and on duty again at E. H. Hunt's. W. R Lynch is at his old home in Massachusetts and making short trips into the fern country. E.

Glorious weather favored the thirty or more members of the Gardeners' and Forists' Club who journeyed to Amherst Agricultural College August 15. Leav- ing Boston at 8:23, via Central Massa- chusetts railroad, Amherst was reached at 11:34. The college officials, includ- ing Prof. E. A. White, of the depart- ment of floriculture, with visiting gar- deners and florists from Northampton, Holyoke and Springfield, met the party on arrival. A special trolley oar was first boarded and the beautiful town of Amherst, with its many fine buildings, was seen. An adjournment was then n^ide to Draper hall, where lunch was served. At its close President Butter- field, in a short address, warmly wel- comed the visitors. Vice-president Downs made a suitable response. After the party had been photographed, an exam- ination of a number of vegetable plots was made under the guidance of Prof. W. i F. Brooks, of the department of agriculture, and the effects of the vari- ous fertilizers on the different crops ^ere noted. This proved deeply inter- estifig to the visitors. Next aq inspection of Wilder Hall, in the , horticultural department, was made. The present greenhouses were inspected and the site for the ranges of new houses soon to be built by the Lord & Burnham Co. was looked at. These will include special houses, each 25x50, for violets, palms, roses, carna- tions, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., work- rooms and a new instruction building; the latter to cost $15,000.

The scarcity of choice asters is the feature of a dull market. Really fine asters, notably purples, have exceeded listed quotations. The buyers will not take poor asters and many are wasted. Beauty, Kaiserin and Killarney are in fair supply. The other varieties are rarely seen in good form yet. There are few carnations. Valley is fine, but it has weakened. There is some demand for Easter lilies, which are extra good- Gladioli continue in oversupply, espe- cially the ordinary varieties. Hydran- geas are much in evidence. Sweet peas are plentiful. The out-of-town stock is still excellent, but the demand is falling off. There is no special demand for other outdoor flowers or for greens. Pfuladelphians at Niagara Falls.

A representative of the most progress- ive paper was on hand early last Mon- day morning to witness the opening of the new Skidelsky & Irwin Co.'s office, salesroom and warerooma at 144 North Seventh street. The company has some- thing over 3,400 square feet of floor space, covering the second, third and fourth floors of the building. They pro- pose to carry on a wholesale business in plants, bulbs and seeds, one member of the company being on the road and the other at home, by turns. S. S. Skidelsky has had twenty years' experience in the business. He is well and favorably known all over the country. F. C. Irwin has gained many friends during his six- teen years' experience, equally divided between Vaughan 's Seed Store and J. M. Thorbum & Co., both of New York. Mr. Skidelsky says that the present move was made necessary by the increase in his business. Popular Plants.

Mr. Schultheis' family is sum- mering at Rockaway. The new green- houses are well under way. Philip Einsman, treasurer of the New York Cut Flower Exchange in the Coogan building, has just returned from a seven weeks' pleasure trip in Germany. George Allen, son of J. K.

Sydney Wcrtheimer, of Wertheimer Bros., is back from Europe and will be at the Falls with a fine exhibit and many novelties, the result of his trip to France and the great ribbon factories of the continent. George Hildebrand, of John Young's force, is home from his summer rest in the mountains with his family. Messrs.

Weigel & UjfaluBsy, successors to Emil Steffius. of West Twouty-eighth street, announce large shipments of supplies out of town and have a great many country florists on their books, whose patronage for so many years indicates careful work and satisfaction. They are both prac- tical men. S. Jacobs & Sous, of Brooklyn, have been busy all the season and are adding to their force. They say business is fully up to expectations and the outlook encouraging. H. H. Berger & Co. have been^ busy since the return of Mrs. Berger and Miss Berger from Europe, and the fall busi- ness has opened unusually early and in volume ahead of any season in the firm's experience. JuUus J. Heinricli, whose work at the Jamestown exposition won such ])raise for his artistic ability, is the artist who creates and maintains the attractive showing in the windows of Peter Hen- derson & Co., on Cortlandt street. Boddington had a beautiful bulb brochure at the Falls, with Harrj- Bun- yard bestowing his boundless welcome to; his friends from everywhere as usual. E. McKay Whiting, head of the Na- tional Florists' Board of Trade, with his bride, visited the convention. His collecting agency has been of great value to many a florist. Gunther Bros, are beautifying their store and getting things in readiness for the dahlia shipments, which will be, they say, large this year. They have made a specialty of the new and best varieties of dahlias for several years and some of the largest growers ship to them daily in their season. Samuel A. Woodrow is still in Massa- chusetts, recovering from the accident that put him on the shelf. He will be l)ack at his desk September 1, and is im- porting a lot of stock from Europe for the fall trade. Ford Bros, have renovated and re- decorated their big store and biggest ice-box, as becometh a bridegroom, and the fancy carnations will soon be pour- ing in, as usual. Everything will have to be fancy now that the junior member of the firm has joined the majority. ■ Walter F. Sheridan keeps on the placid tenor of his way and panics may come and go, but the stream of Beauties and high-class roses and carnations runs wide and deep and constant. The special train ran the steadier for his presence and there is a whisper of oflScial timber — if not this year, some year soon. Mr. Schenck allows his partner the conventions, presidential honors and all the tidbits of the business this year, while he stays home in the heat and runs things. Next year the shoe will be on the other foot. A. L. Young has built up a large business by strict attention to the de- tails of his work and only needs room to spread. His sample window is one of the attractions of Twenty-eighth street daily. B. S. Slinn, Jr., has got his land legs on again after his voyage to the conti- nent and does not care, he says, how soon the violets bloom. Bonnot Bros, ship every day, winter and summer, hot or cold, and the Coogan building would be lonely without the genial partner who presides there. Millang Bros, are handling shoals of asters and August is proving a practical manager and building up a confident clientele that promises well for the fu- ture.

Bonnet & Blake have evidently no fear of the effects of the new combination of wholesalers, growers and retailers over in Brooklyn and their only worry seems to be the need of a larger store to meet the demands of their growing business. A. J. Guttman says he is too busy this year to attend the convention, much to his regret. The big store is an inspiring responsibility. Mr. Beidel has returned from his outing on the continent. Harry Crawbuck is sending fine asters to Frank S. Hicks, of West Twenty- eighth street, from his farm at Chatham, N. J. ; also lilies and dahlias. Mr. Hicks now haa his new store complete and ready for all the shipments that may come to him. Jonatbaji Nash is summering at Sea Cliff, L. I. The outlook is good for Moore, Hentz & Nash and everybody else, Mr. Nash prophesies, this winter. Messrs. Seligman and Levy are both back from their mountain climbing in fine condition for the strain of. the bet- ter times. Joe says he has a surprise up his sleeve that will make some of his confreres sit up and take notice. H. E. Froment is now holidaying and enjoying a well earned rest, after all his big force have had theirs. The manager came back last week with a few pounds extra of weight and heavy busi- ness will come natural. It looks like an orchid year and Mc- Manus at headquarters is ready for it. All the years of education and strenu- osity have had their legitimate effect. The orchid's popularity is now uni- versal; shipments go to every part of the country from New York daily, and there is no longer any doubt as to the fact that the orchid is king. The sup' ply will be the largest the New York market has ever handled, and the best. There are no better orchidists in the world than the growers within a radius of twenty-five miles of this city. The Cooperative Flower Growers' As- sociation has rented a big store at 48 West Twenty-seventh street. New York, has already thirty stockholders, and has appointed as its manager J. J. Coan. September 15 is the date of launching the new ship on the troublous waters of New York's wholesale sea. It looks like a stormy vfinter in little old New York. Brooklyn also has 'put a new boat in commission on its usually placid bosom. Bowling. The extreme heat kept down the at- tendance at the final practice of the New York Club. The team should give a good account of itself at the convention. Next year it is hoped the club will be under the auspices of the New York Society and that more general interest may be maintained thereby. These are the last flashes before the explosion at the Falls: Player. Ist 2d 3d 4tb 5tb Fenrlch 141 132 146 126 ... Manda 137 139 152 147 ... Shaw 140 182 120 160 ...

ST. LOUIS. The Market. As far as business is concerned, there is absolutely nothing new to report. The store men have gotten sufficiently used to it by this time to content themselves with a funeral design or so for a day's business. Most of them are keeping busy by cleaning up their places with new paper and paint, so as to be in shape for the early fall trade, to which we are all looking forward hopefully. The wholesalers do all their work early each morning, after which there is nothing doing until the next day. The stock that is coming in is of poor quality and shows the effect of the hot weather. American Beauties are among the best in roses that are coming in now, besides a few fine Camots and Perles from Springfield, 111. Carnations are still small in all varieties. Anything good sells well. Asters are selling well — that is, those of the fancy grade. They are not as yet as much of a glut as they usually are at this time of the year. Tuberose spikes are arriving in thousand lots from Kirkwood, and sell in lots of 100 at $1.50 to $2. The market has a good supply of all kinds of greens. Qub Meeting. The annual meeting of the St. Louis Florists' Club was held Thursday after- noon, August 13. The attendance was large and enthusiastic and much interest was taken in the proceedings. The near approach of the 8. A. F. convention, the election of officers and the payment of annual dues brought out the large at- tendance. As President Young, owing to sickness, was unable to be present, and yice-president Angermueller was away on a fishing trip, the members se- lected Ex-president Beneke to preside over the meeting. The meeting opened with thirty members present. After the regular order of business had been dis- posed of, the different committees re- ported. The trustees reported that the recent picnic had cost $50, and the bal- ance of $25 was returned to the treas- urer. John J. Burke's name was presented as an applicant for membership. Several names were dropped from the rolls for non-payment of dues, among them five prominent members of the St. Louis Horticultural Society. After this the election of officers took place. For president two candidates Weigel & Ujfalussy Successors to EMIL STEFFENS Established 1866 Anything in the line of Wire Work and Designs not listed in our catalogue will be made up promptly on short notice :: s s Telephone 1922 Madison Sq. 136-138 W. 28th St. Newjork City were in the field, W. C. Young and Wal- ter Retzer, and the result was the re- election of President Young for another term. For vice-president the candidates were George Angermueller, Henry Emunds and Edwin Denker. After three ballots were taken the office fell to Edwin Denker. For secretary A. J. Bentzen had no opposition and was elected by unanimous vote. The with- drawal of J. J. Beneke from the race for treasurer left the field open to Fred H. Weber, who was also elected by a unanimous vote. For election as a three- year-term trustee, George Frow, C. Juen- gel and Henry Ostertag were the candi- dates. Mr. Ostertag 's election followed on the first ballot. J. F. Ammann invited the members to hold their September meeting at his place in Edwardsville, 111., and the invi- tation was accepted with thanks. So the installation of the new officers will take place at the home of*Mr. Ammann. The question box, as usual, brought the meeting to an interesting close, after which the members had a good time at a near-by cafe, at the expense of the newly elected trustee, Henry Ostertag. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Berning left last week for a northern trip, expecting to return by way of Chicago and take in the convention with the Chicago florists. W. C. Young, who W8is reported sick last week, is up and about again, look- ing none the worse for his few days' confinement indoors. Mr. Young was much pleased with his reelection as pres- ident of the Florists' Club, also with the balance of the ticket that was elected with him, and things should be lively in club matters this ^1 and winter. Frank Fillmore, not to be outdone, has joined the ^andfatber class. It is a boy and it will be named Frank the Fourth. The mother and chili are doing well and we extend our congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Halatead, of Belle- ville, left Sunday noon with the St. Louis delegation for Niagara Falls, to attend the S. A. F. convention. They win return by way of Detroit, to visit their daughter before returning home. Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, left Sunday to attend the S. A. F. convention at Niagara Falls. He was delegated by the Florists' Club to tell the members at the next meeting all about the con- vention. Quite a number of our suburban club members attended the last club meeting. They were: E. W. Guy, A. S. Halstead and Henry Emunds, of Belleville; Henry Johann, of Collinsville, 111.; Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, Mo.; John Con- non, of Webster Groves, Mo., and J. F.

The Massachusetts Agricultural Ex- periment Station, Amherst, Mass., has made an exhaustive study of the blossom end rot of tomatoes and has published a bulletin on that subject, dealing with it from a scientific standpoint. The purpose of such bulletins is supposed to be to afford assistance to the citizens of the state, but it is a matter of doubt how much value the average tomato grow- er can get from these technical discus- sions— what the grower wants to know is not that "the organism isolated is an aerobic, spore-producing, monotrichic, oval form, producing a yellowish color on most media," but how to make his crop worth more of the yellow medium of exchange. A PROnTABLE CUCUMBER. Please tell us what kind of cucumber is the most profitable to grow in green- houses in winter. E. B. I . consider the Improved White Spine forcing cucumber the most satisfactory of all for" growing under glass, and this is the most popular in all localities where cucumbers are grown.

We are mailing you, in separate pack- age, a stalk of asparagus, two years old. Kindly tell us what the trouble is and how to check it. W. E. T. The asparagus stalk received did not show either beetle or rust, the two chief enemies of the asparagus, and I am at a loss to say just what to do for the plants, not knowing the condition of the field. If there are only one or two stalks so affected, I should think that they were injured by the cultivator or hoe. If many plants are affected, I should sug- gest looking over them carefully for bet- ter signs of the enemy. Bust of asparagus is now becoming very common and can be detected by the brownish color of the field of affected plants and by the blistered stalks. Under these blisters a fine brown dust can be found. The effect of the beetle is quite different. The field remains green — that is, what foliage is left on the stalks — and the spotted beetle, a bug about the size of the melon beetle, in color red, yellow and black, can be easily found eating. Experiment stations are giving considerable attention to these of late and some new methods may be successful in dealing with the pests, but I am un- able to learn of any positive relief in either case that would not cost more than the bed is worth. Burning off the tops after the bed is mowed in September will do much to destroy the enemy. All weeds around the field should have been kept closely cut at all times. After mowing the asparagus, rake everything up in narrow windrows and burn up clean, leaving the ashes for fertilizer. Start in next season and keep the soil well cultivated, perfectly loose and free from weeds, and watch for any appear- ance of the fungus or pests, which may be kept down by spraying with various ' Fresh Importation JOHNSON'S VIGOR MUSHROOM SPAWN BS^.

I have a house with solid beds that I want to use for vegetables next sea- son. Would it be advisable to put pipes in the soil to provide bottom heat? I heat with water. * A. C. The correspondent does not say what vegetables he will grow and for lettuce and some other vegetables bottom heat is not necessary, but for cucumbers, toma- toes and peppers it is important, espe- cially in winter, when the plants are small. Later in the spring, when the days are long and warm and the plants are full-grown, it may well be dispensed with. Where it is deemed advisable to put in bottom heat in solid beds, rows of drain tile should be beneath each row of cucumber or tomato plants. When steam is used a %-inch pipe inside a 3-inch line of tile will give excellent drainage and a good bottom heat. The heat, however, should not be left turned on all the time, but only a short time each morning and evening. By having a few soil thermometers always in place along some rows, it will be easy to tell how long it is safe to leave the steam on at a time. If hot water is used it will be necessary to use larger pipe and tile. IVE ACRES with the Skinner Irrigation will produce as much crops as TEN ACRES without it. The Skinner Irrigation do. TROT, O.

GRAFTING AGAINST MILDEV. A conrespondent says: "I send you a clipping from the Oakland Tribune on the discovery of Mr, Lilienthal. After reading this you surely will come to a conclusion that the Pacific Coast is going some — and that graft ia bound to be a panacea for all tiouMosi. " The clip- ping is as follows: ''Hugo H. Lilienthal, of Berkeley, organizer of the National Juvenile Hor- ticultural Society and expert in plant .life, will give demonstrations next Satur- day during the educational, botanical and floral exhibition at the Melrose grammar school, of a new method of grafting, whereby all seedlings of new creation in roses, which are bothered 'with mildew, can be saved from destruc- tion by vegetable grafting behind the bark of the dog rose — Eosa canina — and other varieties. Yesterday in a communi- cation to Secretary of Agriculture Wil- son, Lilienthal made the first announce- ment of his discovery. The process prom- ises to be one of the most important finds of recent years in horticulture. "Lilienthal is persuaded that his so- lution of the problem will be final. It is new in two particulars, both the method of the graft and its applica- . tion to the mildew problem. It will in- crease to an enormous extent both the production of new varieties and the preservation of older ones. It will per- mit the production annually from each bush of not less than 3,000 usable slips. The operation is a delicate one and re- quires the greatest care that is known to the horticulturist surgeons. With the spread of knowledge of the method, how-, ever, it is believed that it will come into general use and prove a great boon to the growers of the rose. The Melrose grammar school will be honored with the first announcement because it is the first school to harbor under its roof a branch of the Juvenile Horticultural Society, "i PLANTS FOR SHADY PLACES. What to plant in shady spots, or in the garden which is all in the shade, as is often the case in the city, is a ques- tion that perplexes many. There are few flowers which do not require sun- shine during some part of the day. The National Council of Horticulture says most suitable material for planting in shady places is found in the wild flowers, ma^ny of which are extremely handsome and easily cared for. Solomon's seal, Canterbury bells, mayapple and spider- wort, bleeding heart, violets and colum- bines, are among the best for such a place.

French bulbs are materially higher than they were early in the season, the growers aow holding them twenty-five to thirty per cent above the prices import- ers paid on early orders. A OOKRESPONDENT in Holland writes: "Nasturtiums are very good in general, the crops in full bloom now brighten the landscape, but I am afraid the price will not be very high next season, for plenty of old seed is yet in stock." Thb retail bulb catalogues are reported to be bringing as good early responses as they ever do, but the wholesale bulb lists are not bringing even the usual re- turn from the growers whose cut bloom is sold in the big city markets; the coun- try florists are buying as many bulbs as ever. J. W. JuKO, the seedsman of Ban- dolph, Wis., writes: "Seed crops as a whole are not as satisfactory as the previous season. We have had very dry weather until a few days ago, but since thea we have had some much needed showers. Com, tomatoes and all vine crops show the effects of the drought and will be only a short crop. In some sections here corn will be al- most a failure. Although I have about forty varieties of asters, early and late, the majority of the kernels fail to fill. High grade northern-grown aster seed will probably be very scarce." C. 8. Harrison, of York, Neb,, has re- cently returned from a trip among the seed collectors in the Rocky Mountains. In a trip of several hundred miles he says he did not see a single cone, but the collectors told him that in the high alti- tudes there will probably be plenty of Engelmanni spruce, a limited amount of pungens, plenty of aristata or foxtail pine, some Pinus flexilis, a small amount of sub-alpina and very little Douglas and coneolor. Mr. Harrison says that owing to the scarcity of seeds of conifers on the eastern slope, some seed gatherers are getting seeds of the same name from the western slope, which, he says, are worse than useless for all our northern statea "Years ago these seeds were tried near Philadelphia and proved a dis- mal failure. Of course they are of no account farther north and will succeed on]/ ia tlM south." I MtrsT have the Revtkw; the florists' beet paper. — ^D. H. Qresn, West Grove.

BALTIMORE. The Market. Business has taken on its summer at- tire, and there is not much doing outside of occasional funeral work. Koses are holding up well, considering the season, and have a fair demand. Carnations are becoming quite small and these are mostly from outside plants. Asters are beginning to come in, but are poor. The markets are glutted with hardy phlox. Gladioli are more plentiful, but are mostly in dark colors, which do not meet with a ready sale. Qufo Meetiflc:. The club held a meeting at the club rooms on Monday, August 10, which was well attended, considering the hot spell which we are having now. There is only one meeting each month during July and August. Quite a crowd went to the con- vention this year. The members left on the 8:. "55 train Monday morning, on the B. & O., which also had the Washington florists on board. There are about forty members present from Baltimore. Louis P. Eyer was elected a member of the club. W. O. Stran had a fine vase of Crego asters on display. Various Notes. Charles Hamilton, of Mount Washing- ton, has just finished a cold storage building, 20x40 feet and two stories high. Mr. Hamilton does an extensive whole- sale business in cut flowers and has fin- ished another house for asparagus, 30x- 100 feet. C. M. Wagner is manager for Mr. Hamilton. Carroll Hoffman, of Park Heights ave- nue, is building two small houses for carnations and violets. Frederick Beitz, of Franklintown, Bal- timore county, was fired upon by a col- ored man whom he found sleeping in his hay loft. Mr. Beitz had a desperate struggle with the man and only saved himself by knocking his hand upward, which sent the bullet wild. The negro jumped down the steps, ran across the road and disappeared in the woods on the opposite side. Mrs. Perry, the mother of J. J. Perry, manager of the Florists* Exchange, is critically ill at Frederick. Mr. Perry went to her bedside Tuesday and had not returned, and it was feared that he might not be able to go with the boys to the convention.

Danker read an instructive paper on ''The Aster and Its Diseases." Be- sides Mr. Danker, the question was spok- en on by Louis Marks and John Hag- gerty. Toward the close of the evening resolutions were adopted condemning the actions of certain unscrupulous per- sons, who by some means secure the cards of legitimate florists and go about to houses where crepe is seen upon the door and solicit orders for flowers. Arrangements were made for a clam- bake which is to be given August 30 at the establishment of Henkes Bros., in Loudonville. This outing will be given to the members of the club and their friends. The affair is in charge of the following committee: Frederick Henkes, chairman; William King and Patrick Hyde. These gentlemen will have charge of the sports for the day: F. A. Danker, chairman; ijdward Tracey, F. Connolly, J. Haggerty and J. Butts. Five new members were received into the cluD. They were George Sehinkel, R. D. Griffen, Theodore Draulleyj Amos Balford and Alfred Simmons. Proposals for two new members were received. Among the out-of-town guests of the dub were: James H. Schneider, of Rhine- beck, and Lewis E. Wood, of Fishkill. After the regular business of the meet- ing was completed, the members were entertained by Denis McCarthy, who ren- dered some clever songs and recitations.

The weather turned decidedly cooler the past week, and though business im- proved, a couple of dark days retarded the cut of roses. Speciosum rubrum, gladioli and asters continue to be the popular flower, and the most plentiful. Greens are as scarce as at any time the past year. The Park Superintendents' Associa- tion held their convention here the past week and appointed Seattle as the meet- ing place next year. They visited the local playgrounds and were delighted at the numerous natural advantages of the city. A trip to Lake Minnetonka was one of the features of their entertain- menL The Minneapolis Floral Co. is cutting some first-rate smilax. O. C. Swanson has been away on his vacation, and on his return finds that business compares favorably with other years. He is selling a number of varie- ties of the popular outdoor flowers grown by himself. Visitors: L. A. Glatigny, Sleepy Eye, Minn. M. E. M.

The Market Business is better at present than it has been at any period since June 1. The opening of the city schools has had the effect of bringing most of our town people back from the country and the increase in trade has been quite perceptible. White stock of all kinds is moving well and everything in the line of light colored flowers is quickly bought up. Chrysanthemums have . made their ap- pearance here and several varieties ot early whites and yellows are displayed. Asters are now at the height of their season. They are mostly produced by the Chinese growers and the quality is good throughout. Semple's Branched seems to be the variety grown princi- pally and they cost the stores from $1 to $2 per hundred. Carnations, owing to the fact that many growers are at present changing their beds, are not in abundant supply. Enchantress and fancy whites are scarce and it will be several weeks before they are again offered in quantity. The red and deep pink varieties do not sell so well as the lighter colors. With roses there is still quite a shortage. There is no fancy stock at all to be seen, and Brides, Maids and a few second rate Beauties are all that can be seen at pres- ent. Sweet peas still sell well, and sev- eral growers who have long-stemmed batches just coming into bloom are get- ting good prices. Amaryllis and gladioli are plentiful and at the same time sell well. The former costs the retailers about $2 per hundred. Lilium album and rubrum are fairly plentiful. They are good sellers and cost the stores from $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen. Ferns and asparagus are plentiful at present, and the bunches are being made large enough so that the retailers can get something out of them. There is quite a difference between the bunches as made now and those of a couple of months ago, and it is all in favor of the retailer. Various Notes.

The poinsettias, as grown in Cali- fornia for the wholesale trade, are in the neighborhood of San Francisco cul- tivated entirely under glass and almost exclusively pot-grown. Those from south- ern California are grown almost entirely outdoors, owing to the mildness of the climate there.

Those grown undor glass in this neigh- borhood keep their, foliage better than do the plants grown outside and, al- though the flowers are also more deli- cate, they, if handled carefully, will last longer than the others. On the other hand, they cost fully three times as much, and for ordinary trade the out- side-grown flowers answer nicely. There is no di^culty in shipping them to any distance where they will not be covered up longer than three days, and they can be sent even farther than this, but the foliage usually suffers. The flowers are cut when fully ex- panded. Each one should be tied up in a piece of tissue paper so that it will not rub, and the stems should be fixed «o that they will not crush against each other. The boxes should be long enough so that there is no chance for the tops to touch the end of the box. Give some ventilation to the stems and see that they are not packed wet, and if they cannot move around in the box there should be no trouble in sending them many hun- RI8TS BUlwaukae* Wis.

There is a first rate call for the better , peonies for September delivery, almost none at all for the now common sorts. The growth of nursery stock has not been all that the average nurseryman would like, on account of continued dry weather. XuBSERYMEN as a rule are looking for- ward to next spring as the banner year for the business, especially in the west and in ornamentals. The wholesale nurseries report that the fall season will not fail to be a good one — since storage houses have become a part of the equipment of every up-to-date nursery the fall deliveries by the whole- salers have increased rapidly. Florists will do more fall planting of nursery stock this year than they ever did before, for they are gradually find- ing out that ornamentals, and shrubbery especially, make a fine side line for the florist who has space for good specimens on his home grounds. Those who do a large mailing trade in plants shoiild be interested in a new mailing tube recently put on the market by the Standard Mfg. Co., Second and Vino streets, Philadelphia. The tube is split and of light but strong pasteboard; strong enough to resist the pressure of the mail bags. The tubes come in nests of five sizes. SOUTHERN NURSERYMEN MEET.

The East Tennessee Xursery Co., of Knox county, Tennessee, has filed an amendment to its charter whereby the name is changed to the East Tennessee & Mississippi Orchard Co. THE JUNEBERRY. On page 44 of the Review for July 23 I saw a note on the Juneberry, but it did not tell where I can buy such a tree. As I never heard of it before, I would like something of that kind. Tell whoever wrote that piece to put his name to it and I will send for a few plants. T. P. The plant known as the Juneberry is one of our native shrubs or small trees, common to the eastern United States and Canada. Besides Juneberry, it is known in some sections as the shadbush, and to botanists as Amelanchier Canadensis. The form most often met with in cultivation is the dwarf or bush type, but in nature both are quite common. The fruits are rather dry, but have a pleasant flavor. They have never been extensively culti- vated, because of the difficulty of protect- ing them from birds, which are fond of them. You can order of almost any nursery that deals in ornamental stock. ^ L. C. C. ORCHIDS If you think of investing in orchids, do so now; they will never be cheaper than at present. We have this year immense quan- tities of imported stock of the finest quality that has ever reached this country, which we offer at little above cost. Also all kinds of established plants of the most popular kind and at right prices. Ask us for special price of imported Cattleya Trianae and C. Schroederae.

Announcement Our Red Seedling Carnation to be disseminated January 1, 1909 This ii a seedling of Enchantress and Crusader. The color is a shade deeper than Crusader. The flower is very double, with high built center. It has wonderful keeping qualities and will therefore be a fine shipper. Although the flower is one of the fullest and heaviest, the calyx it s'rorg enough to hold it and we have seen very few splits in the years we have been growing it. The flower is three inches or more across and freely produced. Everybody who can do Enchantress can do well with this. It has the growth ani stem of Eachantress. We had 5000 plants last winter for cut flowers and it brat any other red on the place; the flowers always brought 1 cent or more above the market price of other redi. "Wt have benched 25,OrO plants and shall exhibit it this fall at all the flower shows aad at that time we shall give it a name. i.« i>'.

ASTERS, HOLLYHOCKS AND IBERIS I am going to build some greenhouses and I would like to get a little informa- tion. I have been in the florists' busi- ness a long time, but want to raise some small stuff that I often need. Will someone tell me when to plant asters, hollyhocks and candytuft so I can have them to bloom in July and August? C. M. T. Asters for early outside blooming should be sown in February, and for later crops a succession of sowings can be made up till the middle of June. The young plants should be pricked out into boxes as soon as they are fit to handle, and transferred into the flower- ing beds as soon as ready. This same routine applies to plants to be flowered under glass. Hollyhocks should be sown now and the seedlings transplanted to a cold- frame as soon as ready. They require protection the first winter. Transplant to the flowering grounds early in the spring. Candytuft for winter blooming can be sown now. The young plants should be potted as soon as ready and transferred to benches in September. For fall bloom- ing sow in April or May, in the ground where they are to bloom. Ribes.

Can chrysanthemums repotted from 2- inch into 4-inch in the month of July remain in 4-inch to flower? I have about a dozen different varieties, but mostly Glory of Pacific and Polly Rose. Would it be better to give them a shift into 5-inch pots? - C. U. The chrysanthemums will become rather starved in 4-ineh pots and a shift to 5i/{j-inch will insure nice flowers. If you have no bench space to plant these in and want them for cutting, why not put them in boxes in five inches of earth? They would thus give you as fine flowers as in the pots, and at a much reduced cost. C. W. No sore fing- ers, wasted time, orrislcof injury to the eyes, in usinir " Richmond " Carnation supports.

Will you kindly give directions for making a cement joint with red lead and oakum, or any other good cement joint for cast-iron pipe! W. J. S.

Make the paste thick, thor- oughly saturate the oakum and drive it in tight. Let it set well before putting on the water. L. C. C. THREE COLORADO HOUSES. In the accompanying illustration of my place the boiler house will be seen covering the north end of the house. House No. 1 is 18x75 feet, side walls four and a half feet high, with eighteen inches of glass .for about sixty feet on the east side. It is ten and a half feet to the ridge. House No. 2 is con- nected to the south end of No. 1. Its walls are five and a half feet high, with eighteen inches of glass in the east side. This house is 19x60 feet and eleven and a half feet to the ridge. The office cov- ers the south end of No. 2, with the ex- ception of a small corner. We have four 2-inch flows, with six 2-inch returns through No. 2, and halfway down No. 1, and would like your opinion on how much more piping is needed to keep 55 de- grees, when the temperature is 20 degrees below zero outside.

Our boiler is fifty horse-power. L. A. D. If I were arranging the piping in these houses I should carry a 3^ -inch flow from the boiler under the ridge to the far end of house No. 1 and there take off the necessary 2-inch branches to supply four manifolds, each carrying three 2- inch returns, or twelve 2-inch returns for the house. House No. 2 should have a 2%-inch flow, which would be a continua- tion of the 3^-inch flow pipe in house No. 1. To complete the piping in house No. 2, use four manifolds of three 2-inch pipes, one under each bench, the same as in house No. 1. For house No. 3 I would suggest the use of an independent 3-inch flow from the boiler, under the ridge of Plant in O>lora4o to be Added To. benches in each house. There is one flow and return under each side bench, the balance under the middle benches. We are going to build on the east side one house sixteen feet wide, six feet to the gutter, with three feet of glass on the east side. There will be glass on the west side ''above the gutter of the old houses. The new house will be about twelve feet to the ridge. Would two 2*^- inch flows near the gutters be sufficient to supply the house, and how many re- turns will be needed? It would require about the same temperature. How should we regulate the flows between house No. the house rather than along side walls, and the installation of ten 2-inch returns arranged under the benches. These di- rections contemplate the use of hot water at 180 degrees. L, C. C. HEAT FOR SIX HOUSES. We want someone to give us a plan for heating our range of six houses.

We first had a new^ cast iron boiler which lasted only two years When it cracked to pieces. The second was a sec- ond-hand boiler. We consider your boiler the best paying Investment we ever made." Mr. J. G. Frisz, of Vincennes, Ind., writes as follows: '■ "Tour No. 13 boiler is carrying 25,000 square feet of glass and I can keep it at 60° in the coldest weather without any trouble. I have three cast iron boilers also heating a range of 25,000 square feet of glass, but the No. 13 Kroeschell boiler only takes half the coal and half the work to get the same results." Geo. Mathews, Great Neck, N. Y., writes: "I have two of your boilers, but formerly used four dif- ferent types of boilers, all of them cast iron. I consider the Kroeschell boilers the finest heaters of any of these bollors." Geo. N. Sones & Sons, Hamilton, Ont., write: "We can say nothing but good of your boiler. It gives more heat with less fuel; it is safer; no leaking as is the case with some of the cast iron boilers; your boiler needs less attention than any boiler we ever saw; It is more easily kept clean ; and most important of all is that you set heat out of every shovel of coal burned." Grant Newport, Cedar Rapids, la., writes: "I have had a cast iron boiler but it broke down twice in two years, always in the coldest weather. It broke down December 29th and I lost all my stock in conse- quence. I now have two Kroeschell boilers and do not worry about their breaking down." Mr. Geo. Engel, Xenia, O., writes: "The No. 4 boiler bought in 1902 is taking care of 7,000 square feet of glass and would take care of 2,000 more. I would not have a cast iron boiler for a gift."

If you can save money by using I14- inch pipe, it will answer your purpose quite as well as IVi-inch pipe and be a little easier to install. Each house to be run on the carnation temperature can be handled by using a 2-inch flow under the ridge and twelve 1^-inch returns. The rose house should have a 214-inch flow and fifteen l^i-inch returns. The cor- ridor will likely not require more than four 11/4 inch pipes, in addition to the heat from the main flow. I do not be- lieve it will be wise to install less than a 6-inch main flow, as it is evident you contemplate adding more houses. Keep the boilers well down, unless you are to use a pump or trap for return water. L. C. C. PIPING A CARNATION HOUSE. Please inform me how to pipe a house 2(5x80 for carnations. The house runs east and west, is five feet to the eaves and twelve feet to the ridge, with two feet of glass on the sides. The east end also is glass, the west end being pro- tected by a house. There will be five benches the length of the house. I want to use 1.14 -inch pipe for the returns under the benches. The boiler-pit is four feet below the surface at the west end. The expansion tank is fifteen feet above the boiler. The location is Ohio. Would the use of the Honeywell heat generator allow us to use less and smaller pipes throughout the system? If so, what could be used? L. N. B. The house in question should be well provided for by using one 3-inch flow and eighteen li{.-incii returns, or two 2\ A Great G>al SAVER An Economical Boiler Feeder Worth Double the Price Atk Frank Holznasle, Florist, Detroit, Mich.

The north house lias four flows and four returns of 4-inch pipe. J^N_ . If the piping is in good order and gives good service, it should do the work in the new plant without addition or modification. The rose house has radia- tion which should hold a temperature of 65 degrees, and the carnation houses have just about the right piping for a tem- perature of 50 degrees. This is based on good circulation and a temperature of 180 degrees in the boilers. You should be able to heat the one large carnation house more easily than three smaller ones. L. C. C. HOT VATER FOR SMALL HOUSE, I am building a two-third-span house, 11x40 and eight feet to the ridge. The frouth wall is four feet high and the north wall five feet. I am going to keep a general line of pot plants in it and will heat it with hot water. I would like to know if a "Wiiks heater, 20x42, will do the work. I want to use a 2-inch flow and IVj-inch returns. Please tell me how to arrange the pipe and about what tem- perature will be needed day and night. I have 500 feet of liA-inch pipe and 100 feet of 2-inch that I bought cheap. I am located in Tennessee. J. F. C. To pipe your house to maintain a tem- perature of 65 to 70 degrees, which will be desirable for a general collection of plants, it will be necessary to use one 2-inch flow pipe under the ridge and ten l^/L'-inch returns the length of the house. If you wish to run cooler plants the number of returns can be reduced to eight, but ten will meet the conditions for any plants that you will probably wish to grow.

The only question in my mind is if the 2i^-ineh pipe from the boiler would be big enough. T. P. If I understand your letter correctly you have only one house, which is 11x90 feet. If this is the case, you will not re- quire so much piping as you have planned to install. A single 2-inch pipe will be ample to supply steam to the six 1 14-inch returng. If you do not have the 2-inch pipe, but have the 2%-inch on hand, sub- stitute it for the 2-inch, but it will be overlarge. Run one 2-inch or 2% -inch pipe from the boiler through the shed and under the ridge of the greenhouse to the far end and there divide by two Ijranches. one to each manifold of three 1^ -inch pipes. With five to eight pounds boiler pressure, and the boiler located as stated, vou should get excellent results. L. C. C. Jam£.stown, N. D. — A. K.

I expcet to go into the florists' busi- ness in this city, beginning operation about April of next year. 1 intend to build a three-quarter-span house, 20x96, with a boiler-house, etc., as a beginning. I am i'onsidering the advisability of building the side walls of the greenhouse of cement blocks and would be pleased to have your opinion in regard to this method of construction. Is it more eco- nomical than grout or brick, and does it give good satisfaction? J. H. B. Few of the modern commercial grow- ers are using either brick or cement for greenhouse walls, the objections being cost and the unsuitability of the ma- terial, because of the jiorousness and coldness of the \\alls during winter. If hollow cement blocks are used, this ob- jection is partly overcome. Economic construction, durability and lightness combined can be attained by using tubular iron supports, set in con- crete blocks, and attaching thereto ordi- nary wooden walls. Any of the con- struction companies will gladly sui)ply plans and estimates. Walls constructed on these lines cost about 30 cents per lineal foot for seven feet high. RiBE.S. BEST DARK RED GERANIUM. What is the name of the darkest red geranium known and where can I get them? D. S. We are really unable to state which is the darkest red geranium known. Very dark varieties are of little commercial value, those of clear scarlet or crimson scarlet shades being in the best request. S. A. Nutt is the standard double crim- son geranium for bedding or pot culture. El Cid, of a velvety crimson color, is fine, while Colossus, of rather more re- cent introduction, is a beautiful dark crimson. In singles, Jacquerie continues to lead. Its color is crimson scarlet. Cannell's Crimson Bedder is another s|)lendid variety. If you want good, dark crimson geraniums to sell, any of the foregoing varieties will please you. They are each and all good for either bedding or pot culture. R. Vincent, Jr.. & Sons Co., White Marsh, Md., publish a geranium cata- logue, well illustrated, and are leading specialists with these plants in America. We' can recommend them as being a re- liable firm. C. W. I WOULD rather miss three good meals than miss one copy of the Review. — E. Point, Leipsic, O.

The Weekly Florists' Review, 97 A BIRI>'8-EYE VIKW OF OUR E8TABLI8HM1CNT PRACTICALLY ALL GROWERS NOW REALIZE THAT BY FAR THE BEST MATERIAL FOR GREENHOUSE BENCHES IS PECKY CYPRESS It is like any other cypress except that it looks as though it were full of worm holes, but isn't; it is especially like other cypress in that it has to be open air dried in the south. It is dried until it weighs three pounds to the board foot, or 3,000 pounds to the thousand feet. Conse- quently 10,000 feet will make a minimum car. We can ship from our yards to the central states, or direct from the mills in Louisiana to florists in New England and to growers in the far west, and it is only a question of time when all growers will use it. It doesn!t take so very many feet of bench to call for a minimum car of pecky cypress. It comes 1x6 inches and the boards eight to twenty feet long. With about an inch between for drainage, a bench four feet wide will take seven boards, or three and one-half feet lumber measure for each lineal foot of bench. Side pieces bring it up to four and one-half feet. Consequently a minimum car, 10,000 feet of lumber, would suffice for only twenty- two benches 4x100. The average car contains 13,000 to 15,000 feet. If you don't need a car yourself, get your neigh- bors to club in with you and order a car. :: :: REFERENCES:— Ask the following growers, whom you all know, if Pecky Cypress is not the best bench material: " Pbtbb Rbinbekg, 51 Wabash Ave., Chicago ; Georgb Reinbero, 35 Randolph St., Chicago ; Poehlmann Bbos Co Mor Grove, 111.; Wietob Bros., 51 Wabasb Ave..

Thousands of Jersey commuters, who daily make the trip to New York city, are about to lose two familiar land- marks. These are the mountains of strawy manure which border the tracks of the Pennsylvania, Erie and Lacka- wanna railroads in that part of the Hackensack meadows lying about three miles on the New York side of Newark. The Pennsylvania and Erie managements, which maintained these malodorous heaps for so many years that the traveling pub- lic had given up hope of the abatement of the nuisance, have been induced to promise their removal by reason of the protests of the pollution committee of the New York Merchants' Association. Last month Edward Hatch, Jr., chair- man of the committee, wrote to the two roads, pointing out the fact that the manure heaps were vast breeding grounds for countless flies which menaced the health of New York, the metropolitan district and even more distant localities, and asking that the practice of storing manure in the meadows be discontinued. He has received a letter from the Erie, saying that the company appreci- ates the objection which is made to the proximity of the manure heaps to the tracks and will make arrangements for its removal. The Pennsylvania has noti- fied the authorities of the town of Kear- ny that the location of its manure piles will be changed, a more remote site farther south having been selected. Thus an institution which has brought reproach upon two great trunk lines, not only from commuters, but from trav- elers from all parts of the country, is happily to pass out of existence, for these are the only manure heaps main- tained by railroads in the neighborhood of New York.

When the vote of £83,124 for salaries and expenses of the Board of Agricul- ture was before the British House of Commons the other day, someone called attention to the wages paid to the gar- deners in the Eoyal Gardens, Kew. He urged that the wages paid to the gar- deners should be raised from a guinea to 24 shillings weekly. It was, in his opinion, begging the question to say that the gardeners were improvers. He thought the wages should be raised to the level of those paid in the London parks. In reply. Sir E. Strachey said the gardeners at Kew are young un- married men, who come under special conditions with a view to obtain ex- perience, and that they can only remain two years. The guinea paid them weekly is more in the nature of a subsistence than a wage, and the advantages they receive through being at Kew for the two years have to be taken into account. PLUMOSUS UNDER LATH SHADE. Asparagus plumosus, so much used for decorative purposes, is cultivated out, of doors for market purposes near Naples, Italy. According to a writer in Eevue Horticole, M. Traverso has succeeded by a cheap and ingenious device in over- coming the diflBculties due to excessive dry heat and the dangerous winds that occur in that part of Italy. His planta- tion is surrounded with close lattice work, and is roofed over with the same material at about seven feet from the ground. The results are said to be ex- cellent, and the plants grow freely and give little trouble. SEE THAT LEDGE. Pat. Sept. 18, 1900 * JENNINGS"'"-" IRON CUTTER.

' The scroll is not a favorite with Charles Henry Fox, Columbia avenue and Twenty-first street, Philadelphia, but when he makes it he tries to make his personality show in the work, as in every- thing he does. The illustration shows a scroll made of orchids and galaz leaves, the effect being enhanced by the varied hues of the caladium leaves. Mr. Fox believes that judgment should be used in the colors of the caladiums, so that they will not clash with each other or with the orchids. Phil. SOME WINDOWS. Two Requisites. The window that really attracts and holds the attention and stamps itself on the memory of the casual observer is a rare one. It has two requisites; a fair amount of good stock makes about one- half its value, and a plan of display which allows a liberal view of stem and foliage against a suitable background makes up the other half. The beauty of it is, 'there are endless suitable back- grounds and settings and plans of dis- play. Window displays are for the purpose of attracting customers. Then it fol- lows that stock best displayed sells at a better price and more quickly than poorly displayed stock. People of means have always been known as patrons of art; then why not of our art? The trouble is, only a few florists show works of art in their windows. Flowers when cut are taken from their natural surroundings and, in order to display them to the best advantage, this setting or its substitute must be at least partially restored. Displays in Dull Seasons. Again, since window displays are for the purpose of attracting customers, the dull season is the time when we should put in our best efforts and most time. But somebody will say that the dull season does not furnish enough stock for fine displays. Bless you, that is just your opportunity.^ You will not be bothered with a surplus and can use your stock to fine advantage. Two dozen roses or a few hollyhocks, well displayed, may win for you a better customer than you have ever had. Keep out more than you put in, is a good rule for all window trimming. Educate to quality and charm of arrangement. Display one kind of flowers sometimes with a great variety of color, introducing others sub- ordinately in color and amount. Inoffensive Funeral Designs. Where to draw the line in the dis- play of funeral design work without sug- gesting mourning is no trifling question. Although it ought not to be, funeral work is the main standby of the average florist.- Like undertaking, it is "a bit ticklish" to advertise. Yet, after all, there are few designs which are posi- tively obnoxious in themselves. The trou- ble is that, being always made in the same style, they are too likely to sug- gest some particular funeral occasion. Sometimes for an Easter window have an immense wide cross of gilded ivy or galax leaves. Convert the entire window into a field of Easter lilies and spiraeas, Willful Use of Current Events. If some musical event is on, trim an oriental harp with blue pansies, silver the strings, and lean it against an ivy pillar on a ground of sweet alyssum or white pansies, and somebody will remem- ber it when at some future time he wants a funeral design. On a hot summer day make a pillow of shaded asters, with a fringe of chif- fon or ribbon. Make another of dif- ferent sizes of ferns, with a monogram or pennant. Make another of sotue bril- liant contrasting color. Group the three together, sofa-cushion fashion, on a back- ground of sheet moss. Make a small hammock of wide chiffon or veiling and tie it across the comer of the window with violet cord. Throw a few full blown roses into it, letting some fall out on to a book lying open on the grass below. There is no crepe about that, yet you have displayed pillows and A Galaz Scroll. interspersed with adiantums and valley, and set in the cross prominently. Would that appeal to you as funereal? Yet, for that very reason it might bring an order for a handsome funeral design. also suggested your ability to make a variety of them. Wreaths and Scrolls. On some off day use a boxwood wreath tlirop or four feet in diameter, on which . _ ' - v-^--. >^ ^ The Weekly Florists^ Review. August 27, 1908. you have spread a generous bunch of Killarney roses. Set this in your win- dow and sprinkle liberally several times and the roses will last all day. The next day they can be renewed or something else substituted. A wreath is always decorative, just as much so for a store as for a casket. Make a good, smooth scroll of foliage, plain or painted. Decorate the center with a pretty spray of rosebuds. Set in the window near to where you have planted a campaign torch, and you have a classic Greek window. At some ap- propriate and convenient time almost any one of the ordinary funeral pieces may be displayed inoffensively. Your Own Untrammeled Thought. So, without trying to be original and by carefully avoiding extremes, cut away from precedent and give expression to the best in your imagination. Get real pleasure out of your window work. There no fussy customer can limit you. It is your own thought carried out. But only as fascination beckons you on can you truly enjoy it. If you stand back and view the finished product with folded arms and complacent air, decid- ing that this piece is a gem, perfect in design and execution, it is time for you to register in the kindergarten. You have not yet begun to learn. But when you feel that if you had the opportunity to do that same window over again you could remove some glaring faults and add some better touches, you are on the right road. Gertrude Blair.

F. a net profit of $1,000, largely through the generosity of the hotel management in permitting the use of the Cataract house without charge. The accommoda- tions provided free have usually cost sev- eral hundreds of dollars. The expense of installation was considerable, espe- cially the space under canyas, which cost more than was received for it. The exhibitors in many cases did most satisfactory business, but there was gen- eral complaint that the outsiders were so numerous as to crowd out the florists. This has been provided against for future conventions, but it is suggested that if exhibitors have fuTther ideas as to how the trades' display can be made more successful they be put in writing and placed in the haiids of the secretary, while fresh in mind, for consideration of the board of directors at the proper time. It is recognized on all sides that the trades' display is one of the most important features of the convention. Judges* Report.

If they were perpetual their value would be greatly enhanced^ but as it is there is nothing to take their place. They do , not flower as long as wo could wish, but when in bloom there is nothing that equals them, hence they are valued more than any other roses. The old and well-known General Jac- (jueminot is still a favorite, on account of its vigor and hardiness. M. P. Wilder lias beautiful, well formed, rich dark red blooms, and delicate fragrance. Mrs. John Laing is almost perpetual, and bears profusely blooms of a beautiful pink shade. Frau Karl Druschki is a new white, extremely floriferous and al- most perpetual, and although only brought to notice a year ago, has already attained the distinction of being called the best hardy white rose. Paul Neyron, the pebny rose, is so large as to com- mand attention everyw"here, notwithstand- ing its coarseness. If cut when in bud or partly open, it is admirable and it should never be omitted from the garden. Ulrich Brunner is a red rose, very valu- able for cutting, as the flower is showy and the stem is free from thorns. Earl of Dufferin is a velvety crimson rose of perfect form, has a delightful fragrance, and is in every respect an exquisite rose. American Beauty, which does so well under glass, does not succeed out of doors, 1 regret to say. Clio is a large, flesh-colored rose, shaded with rosy pink, a most delightful combination, rendering it a general favorite. Baron de Bonstet- ten is one of the best very dark roses, a good flowei', produced abundantly, and it justly deserves a high place in a collec- tion. Other meritorious varieties are Magna Charta, Captain Hay ward, Francois Mich- elon, Mme. G. Luizet, Marchioness of Londonderry, Margaret Dickson and Prince Camille de Kohan. Hugh Dick- son, a crimson rose sent out a year ago, gives promise of great value. I might enumerate many other hybrid perpetuals which should be grown, but 1 will not make the list too long. Dwarf Polyantha Roses. In the last few years the dwarf poly- antha or miniature roses have received great attention from rose growers and their introduction marks a new era in rose culture. They are quite hardy, flower freely and continuously, and the blooms are produced in clusters, render- ing them very effective and valuable for bedding. Baby Kambler is one of the best, being covered with crimson blooms all summer long. Clothilde Soupert, bear- ing very large and beautifully imbricated -pearly white flowers, has proved to be a most excellent bedder and is rapidly win- ning wide recognition. Baby Dorothy, a new variety, is similar in growth and habit, but bears pink flowers. It, too, will be prized as a bedder. Cecile Brun- ner is one of th■ ■ -^ •; •»!; >*■--" t? i ."■'i ■•>• \..'

SCHOOL GARDENS. By L. C. Corbett, Washington, D. C. [Read before the Society of American Florists, in convention at Niagara Falls, August 18 to 21, 1908.] As gardeners and florists we are nat- urally interested in any movement which makes for the upbuilding of the craft which we represent. The school garden, however, carries a broader conception than the upbuilding of a single craft. It aims to offer to the developing mind an opportunity to obtain a symmetrical education. By training the hands and eyes the brain acquires the power of in- terpretation and discrimination, two of the basal factors of knowledge. The aim of the school garden is to interest the youth in nature by close association — to teach science, logic and mathe- matics by observing the development of natural objects. This instruction without books robs the school of its transition period bug- bear, the textbook. Before the age of textbooks instruction was oral; with the advent of written language instructors depended not upon personal ability, but upon the preserved knowledge of others, which they required to be taken in steady, regular doses, according to the size and age of the scholar, regardless of his ability or liking for the subject. In other words, the course of study was and is, in most schools, a carefully pre- scribed one, which must be followed by every student who enters the school, re- gardless of his birth, desires or fitness for the work. Defects in Our School System. This condition in our schools is un- doubtedly the outgrowth of our modern commercialism. The public school has come to be a stupendous organization, managed in great measure under the same rules and by the same type of men as are the trusts. In fact, the public school system of our country might with propriety be classed "The Great Ameri- can Educational Trust." In our desire to perfect a system we have 'in great measure lost sight of the individual, and in so doing we are defeating the pri- mary object for which our public schools were instituted — the perpetuation of the republic through the education of the masses. The teaching methods of our great city schools seem to be based on the idea that all men are born equal and have a common destiny. Each child is so much mortar to be cast into a build- ing block for the state, which will fit into the great wall — the foundation of the republic. There is no training for the work of life in our public schools, properly so called. A few city schools are advanced enough to teach sloyd, manual training, cooking, sewing, and in Washington we have a business high school in addition to the other varia- tions above enumerated. Most of our public school work is confined to the "three R's" and goes no fartheV. In this respect our public schools are a type of educational trust. Methods of a Great Edticator. The school garden idea aims to break the monotony of the curriculum by open- ing the way for the exercise of indi- vidual tastes and ideas within certain Umits. The modern conception of the plan is not as broad as the original idea, as conceived by Pestalozzi and I'roebel. Pestalozzi believed in teaching out-of-doors, because children are both barbaric and nomadic — they want to go somewhere. Like all wise investigators, he proved his ideas. "He at first took several boys and girls of from 8 to 12 years of age, and had them work with him in his garden. They cared for fowls, looked after the sheep, milked the cows. The master worked with them, and as they worked they talked. Going to and from their duties, Pestalozzi would call their attention to the wild birds, and the flowers, plants and weeds. They would draw pictures of things, make collections of leaves and flowers and keep a record of their observations and discoveries. Through keeping these records they learned to read and write and acquired the use of simple mathe- matics. Things they did not understand they would read about in the books found in the teacher's library. Books were secondary and quite incidental to the scheme of study. When work seemed to become irksome they would all stop and play games. At other times they would sit and just talk about what their work happened to suggest. If the weather was unpleasant, there was a shop where they made hoes and rakes and other tools they needed. They also built bird-houses and made simple pieces of furniture, as all the pupils, boys and girls, became more or less familiar with carpenters' and blacksmiths' tools. They patched their shoes, mended their clothing and at times prepared their own food. Pes- talozzi found that the number of pupils he could look after in this way was not more than ten. But, to his own satis- faction, at least, he proved that chiU dren taught by this method surpassed those who were given the regular set courses of instructioij. " History Repeats Itself* This experiment of Pestalozzi 's, out of which, under the genius of Froebel, grew the "kindergarten," is now nearly 100 years old. In it, however, we find all that we now include in manual train- ing, nature study and the school garden idea. It is only another proof of the old saying that "history repeats itself." The reason assigned for the failure of this early effort was the lack of coopera- tion in the home. It is to be hoped that the present movement along this line may not suffer a like fate. Let all who are interested in the success of this form of education give it the support which will make for its success. The modern school garden idea will probably spread more rapidly than did the old, because we are more accustomed to liberal ideas in education and because the modern interpretation is more re- stricted in its application. Instead of attempting to replace the existing schools, the idea is to supplement them — to add a department which shall help to round out the course of study for those who have an interest in natural things. Mental Discipline in Gardening. For some students it will be the means of stimulating an interest in subjects which, without it, would ever have re- mained a sealed book. It has the im- portant advantage that through it the child is led to make discovery, one of the most important elements in the suc- cess of education. The steps followed in the planning, planting and cultivation of a garden contain the elements of sound logic; each step is taken for a definite purpose and the results are the logical outcome of the action of natural laws. These results are of the utmost im- portance when obtained under the guid- ance of a skilled teacher, for they fur- nish the elements necessary for instruc- tion in every one of tie so-called com- mon branches, as welMw in elementary science or nature study. But instruc- tion received through the laboratory method is much more effective than that received by textbook alone. The reason for this is that experiments require the united use of several faculties, which naturally makes a more lasting impres- sion upon the developing mind than the mere exercise of the memory, which is >>^-;.-.-. VlsL' 12 The Weekly Florists^ Review* August 27, 1908. the textbook system. Facts observed through one of the natural senses are more firmly fixed than statements mem- orized. Well Founded Knowledge. Then, too, the student in possession of the means of reproducing or proving a law, either in the laboratory or in the field, has a great advantage over him who has only his memory to depend upon. The one can always be certain of his stand, while the other must have recourse to his authority. One is in the position of a skilled engineer, while the other is like the artisan who works by rule of thumb. The one makes its pos- sessor resourceful and capable of han- dling new problems; the other is good for routine work only. The difference in these types of education is represent- ed by the apprentice system contrasted with the training of a well equipped technical school. One teaches the art alone; the other teaches the art and the theory on which it is based as well. Science Made Interestinsf. The school garden carries this type of instruction into the public school in a simple, direct way. The trained teacher is capable of demonstrating the art in a simple, way, but what is most im- portant is that he is able to make a story out of the scientific principles or truths underlying the art. When a seed is planted, the part played by heat, moisture and air in the process of ger- mination can be woven into a true story of the wonderful awakening of life which takes place. The function of the seed leaves in the early life of the seed- ling can easily be demonstrated by re- moving one-half of each seed leaf from one set of seedlings and both seed leaves from another lot, and at the same time comparing these with others which are normal. The growth of the plants so treated will indicate in a measure the part the cotyledons play in the develop- ment of the plant. Similar tests arranged to show the bearing of light, moisture, heat and cold upon the growth of plants can easily be planned as supplements to the work of growing crops in the school garden. A knowledge of the theory of growth raises the work of plant production from a laborious task to an enjoyable art. This type of instruction tends to make life worth living, by making common things our companions. Half the pleasure of life is lost because the common things that we come in contact with every day bring no message to us; they are com- monplace and excite no curiosity in us. Tell the child the secrets of the rocks, the trees and the flowers and every one of these becomes a life companion in- stead of a mere object, to be used or destroyed according to man's necessity. Trainlnsf Men to Live* The work of education should be to train men to live and, as nine-tenths of • the people of the world must earn their bread through their own- efforts, that education which best fits them to do this work makes for the upbuilding of the state and nation. One-fourth to one- third of the average life is spent in se- ■*. ■ curing an education. That is a large proportion of one's time and it should be so directed by the teacher and the parent that when the training period is over the young man or woman will be fitted to do some useful thing well. Do our schools, as at present conduct- ed, accomplish this? I am sorry to say they do not. The truth is that the grad- uate from our public school system finds himself poorly prepared to do the work of the world. It is the hope of the na- ture study, school garden and manual training enthusiasts that this fault will be corrected by the elevation of the use- ful arts to a place in the course of study. An Ancient Agricultural SchooL It is not strange that our schools teach abstractly. When we study the origin of our cpmmon school system, we find it to consist of ideas borrowed from the college men and not an evolution from the common conditions of life. But the college itself has greatly departed from its original conception. King Alfred, the first great ruler of England, founded Oxford and his idea was to establish a school where the youth of the land should be taught to do those things needful in the family, on the farm and for the betterment of the general com- munity. Oxford was, in fact, an agri- cultural college. It was founded on ideas growing out of the necessities of the people. This is the type of educa- tion which fits men to live and to do the work of the world. In this respect history has been shown to repeat itself. The wise course adopted by our nation in founding state agri- cultural colleges, and by many of our states in establishing rural high schools, in which instruction in the useful arts forms an important part of the course of study, indicates that our ideas of educa- tion are changing and that we are soon to have a school system founded upon the requirements of the people rather than borrowed from the college men. The nature study and school garden idea is the manifestation of the desire for in- struction in the practical affairs of life in our public schools. This is as it should be, because statistics show that only about two per cent of the popu- lation ever attend our colleges or uni- versities. If instruction in the useful arts is to be made available to those who need it, the mass of the people, it must be made a part of our public school system. VHY INCORPORATE? Please advise me as to the advantages, legal or otherwise, of a concern being incorporated. It seems to be the prevail- ing tendency to incorporate even small concerns. H. C. In a partnership each partner is an agent of the firm, with full powers, and he may, by an injudicious or dishonest use of this authority, bring the firm into difficulties. All of a partner's private property is liable for the debts of the firm. If a partner wishes to retire he must, as a rule, sell his whole interest to one person and that person cannot be- come a member of the firm without the consent of the other partners. When one partner dies, or becomes a bankrupt, the firm is diss9lved and the business must usually be wound up. A corporation chooses its own agents and clothes them with only such limited powers as it may see fit to confer. The amount invested by the stockholder is all that he has at risk. He can increase or decrease this amount by small increments mthout the consent of the corporation or any of its officers. A corporation has a term of existence fixed by law. Its life is not dependent on the life of any indi- vidual, and it may be extended for any number of successive terms if the stock- holders so desire. These are the prin- cipal considerations that usually make the corporate form seem preferable. GROWER AND RETAILER. [Itead before tUe Canadian Horticultural Aiiso- olatlon at Niagara Falls, Out., August 10 to 20, by George M. Geraghty.] The difficulty between the growfer and the retailer is a matter that has been discussed on many occasions and,; so far as I know, with little benefit to either one or the other, as the grower goes calmly on his way and does his business as he thinks for his best interests^;— for the time being — and the retailer con- tinues to send us his usual growl, that * ' the flowers are not this and the quality is not that." It is a subject that, here in Canada, so far as I know, can just as well be left out of discussion, for, without patting anyone on the back, I find no difficulty whatever — that is, so far as the large and influential growers are concerned. They try to meet the demands of the retailer as to quality and manner of boxing their output, as they know well that the retailer will buy where he can get the best stock, which, when received by him, is salable and at- tractive. It is with the small grower, who makes a specialty of one or two varieties, that the retailer has any trouble, and it seems impossible to convince such a grower that he will get a far better price for his stock if he will grade it in the proper manner. Too often the thought of a few cents more makes him put in two or three flowers of an inferior grade, think- ing that if it cannot at once be detected he will be that much ahead. But how frequently he deceives himself, he little dreams, as the retailer soon ' ' gets onto ' ' this scheme and will at the first chance go elsewhere for his stock. This is the real difficulty that I have found, as between the grower and the retailer, and, as I before statetl, it is confined almost entirely to small grow- ers. If those gentlemen would carefully sort out their stock and grade it as should be done, I am sure that it would be only a short time before there would be a demand, and at a good market price, for all their wares. When the retailer, after purchasing several hundred — shall we say roses? — graded as No. 1 stock, finds on going through the box or boxes that two or three in every row are No, 2 or even No. 3, this is where the grower thinks he is getting a little extra profit, but let me say that in this he is wrong, as the retailer soon "gets onto" his way of doing business and, unless cir- cumstances compel, buys very little from him. It is so all down the line. I have in mind two cases in point — one where the grower has to be care- fully watched for inferior stock and short count, where it is impossible to have a box left. unless it is very carefully sorted and counted; the other where I can de- pend upon the best and freshest stock, full count and one or two extra, and where it is never necessary to open the box before paying the bill. Needless to say which grower will build up the best trade and whose stock can be marked "sold" before it is cut. In conclusion, let me again repeat that so far as any real difficulty is concerned, I have been unable to detect any and have found the growers, as a body, only too willing to meet the wishes of the re- .i-. '■■ August 27, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* J3 Peter Crowe and Family at Their Home at Utica, N. Y. tailer, for the wise grower knows that his output and income depend upon his being fair and honest in his dealings with the retailer. PETER CROVE. Peter Crowe, of Utica, N. Y., is in the height of fashion this year, for the re- publican newspapers insist this is the day of the men of ample girth. Mr. Crowe casts fully as broad a shadow as "Big Bill" Taft. It was forty-two years ago that Mr. Crowe made his start in the florists' busi- ness, being employed by Richard Perdue, at Orange, N. J. He remained at this place only about a year, securing a po- sition on the private establishment of O. 8. Carter, also at Orange. After he had spent about three years in charge of Mr. Carter's garden he removed to Utica, N. Y., in September of 1870, and started in the business for himself. His begin- ning, like that of most of the old hands at the trade, was on a small scale, but the love of flowers was spreading throughout the land and his business grew, with the popular appreciation of his product, until he became one of the noted growers of roses in New York state. Mr, Crowe's roses were mostly con- signed to the New York market and he did so well at the business that in 1902 he had 90,000 feet of glass devoted to roses, with the exception of some space given to adiantum. Along in 1900 to 1904 Mr. Crowe was a leading prize win- ner at the exhibitions, his Maids and Brides being the best exhibited at the eastern shows. In 1900 and 1901 at the Eden Musee, New York, and the follow- ing year at the Waldorf-Astoria exhibi- tion, he took the leading prizes for these varieties, and the next year scored at Philadelphia. It was in 1902 that Mr. Crowe's son died. This was the only child and the blow was a heavy one. It resulted in the leasing of the larger part of Mr. Crowe's glass to the firm of Brant Bros., who came from Madison, N. J., to take charge. For several years, therefore, Mr. Crowe has been out of rose growing, but none the less interested in that subject, and this season he is resuming his old occu- pation, growing mostly the newer varie- ties, such as Richmond, Killarney, Rhea Reid, Mrs. Jardine, My Maryland and Queen Beatrice. He has taken hold of the work with much pleasure and the start has been so satisfactory that he has nothing but good words to speak of the untried varieties on his list. Mr. Crowe's name will be associated with the market for greens after he has ceased to figure in the rose market, for it is due to him that we have Adiantum Croweanum. This variety originated on Mr. Crowe's place at Utica, where a large stock was worked up and sold to W. F. Kasting, of Buffalo, for dissemi- nation. In speaking the other day of his years in the business, Mr. Crowe said : "I be- lieve that I am one of the two oldest rose growers in the United States. Forty- two years is a long time in the business, and I know only one who has been at it that long. John N. May started in busi- ness about the same time, I think, and Alexander Montgomery comes next." BAR HARBOR JOTTINGS. The Mount Desert Nurseries, owned by George B. Dorr, and managed for nearly twenty years by William Miller, have a large area devoted to phlox, peo- nies, lilies, delphiniums and general col- lections of popular and rare perennials and bulbous plants. They also grow a splendid " assortment of evergreens, in- cluding many of specimen size, and a general collection of deciduous trees and shrubs. The greenhouses are devoted to the culture of gardenias, ferns, palms and other decorative plants, also to rais- ing of bedding and general nursery stock. A splendid store for the sale of cut flowers and plants is located on the main street of the town. The nursery is one of the most interesting to be met with in the east. At Joseph T. Bowen 's, A. E. Chilman gardener, were noted some splendid beds of pentstemons, which at Bar Harbor flower as well as in Scotland. Lilium superbum, naturalized, was unusually fine. Shasta daisies, tuberous begonias, beds of Geranium Alphonse Ricard, gladioli, sweet peas eight feet in height and smothered with magnificent flowers, impatiens, salpiglossis and dahlias were all flowering in a way difficult to ap- proach on the mainland. In the green- houses were noted good collections of begonias, achimines, gloxinias and ivy geraniums, and a fine house of Winter Beauty tomatoes. Mr. Shand, at A. C. Gurnee's, has a fine estate, interestingly planted. A wide perennial border, 525 feet long, was gay with delphiniums, aconi turns (a great feature at Bar Harbor, growing six to eight feet high), rudbeckias and phlox, with a bordering of candytuft. Beds of Swaiusona galegifolia alba, Cal- ceolaria Golden Gem, carnations such as Enchantress, White Perfection and Bea- con, and dahlias were in fine flower. A new deep scarlet decorative dahlia, of compact habit and with free blooming qualities, will be heard from later. Green- houses are devoted to palms, furnishing plants, tomatoes and melons. Several divisions of the latter, including Ring- leader, Superlative and other favorite English sorts, were unusually good. At George W. Vanderbilt 's, where Ed- ward Kirk presides, we noted a fine £Ma^lC..^^j' u. .i*.»,>-.-w.;^ ..L iiV.Ai.i 14 The Weekly Florists^ Review* August 27, 1908. house of Muscat and Hambro grapes and two fine divisions of English melons; also a good house of tomatoes. Fewer flowers for cutting were being grown than usual, in the family's absence this season. At Edgar Scott's, A. Mitchell gar- dener, we saw an interesting garden of the old-fashioned type, containing a wealth of flowers, but somehow these lady aesigners do not produce the pleas- ing effects of some of their male com- petitors. Sweet peas, hybrid tea roses and carnations outdoors were good here. At D. C. Blair's estate, Blair Eyrie, there are, among other features, an Italian garden and rose garden. The grounds are picturesque and commanding views are to be had from the highest points. Eugene Mitchell is gardener here. A. W. Ekstrom has charge of the es- tate of Joseph Pulitzer and his produc- tions prove him to be an expert plants- man. We were unable to see the grounds to good advantage, owing to a drenching rain, but they were attractive and the ocean view was superb. Joseph S. Kennedy has a large and tastefully laid out estate, one of the most interesting it has been our lot to see. The Italian garden appealed to us strongly. There are many larger and more expensively constructed ones, but we have not seen any which give the seclusion and generally restful feel- ing of this one. There are no paths, but velvety turf, with occasional speci- mens growing from beds of pentste- mons, calceolarias, swainsona, verbenas and other plants blooming superbly, side borders of perennials and lilies and ev- erything in perfect taste. Sweet peas here were unusually fine, growing with a vigor sufficient to excite the envy of anyone from a warmer and drier clime. In the greenhouses several divisions are devoted to melons, one to peaches and nectarines, and others to begonias, gloxinias, geraniums and other summer flowers. Mr. Burton, the skillful gar- dener here, has everything in splendid condition. E. C. Cushman, John Benwick gar- dener, was one of the most successful exhibitors at the late show, capturing no less than twenty-one first premiums. His big specimens of fibrous begonias in tubs were a feature on the lawn. Pentstemons, phlox, cannas, tuberous be- gonias, salpiglossis, geraniums and hy- brid tea roses were all unusually fine. W. N. Cbaig. PLANTING FOR WINTER EFFECT Br Gkorge E. McCI/URE, Buffalo, N. Y. [Presented to the Society of American Flo- rists, In convention at Niagara Falls, August 18 to 21. 1008.] During the really marvelous decade through which we have passed, in which the masses have shown a response to the education which has been imparted to them by the many landscape gardeners, artists and nature lovers who have la- bored with such untiring devotion to the cause of outdoor art, the people of the northern states have learned to appre- ciate the beauties of the winter season. To many, no doubt, the term winter is equivalent to death, in that all activity of growth is at rest; they do not realize that rest is as necessary as growth and that even in the tropics therfe is a season of rest, though it may not be expressed in the same manner as in our snow-bound latitudes. Yet to others winter means only a change from the pervading green of summer, through the high coloration of fall, to the gray effect of the woods and the brilliant berry and evergreen effects with a groundwork and back- ground of glistening snow. The subtle effects are always lost in summer by the massive foliage and it is only the hand of winter that can reveal them to us. The Long Northern Winters* When we realize that in the northern parts of the northenl states there is a winter season of from four to five months' duration, it behooves us to study our material thoroughly, in order to make our home surroundings, whether large estates or small city lots, as at- tractive and delightful as the art of the landscape artist can suggest. The aim of this paper, which might more properly be called "Planting for Winter Effect in the Northern Part of the Northern States," is to stimulate the growing desire of aesthetic people in this belt of our country to produce landscape pictures which will gladden and cheer The Kdltor Is pleased when a Reader presents his Ideas on any subject treated In t'Jf^ As experience Is the best teacher, so do we learn fastest by aa ezohanKe of experiences.

BE GLAD TO HCAR FROM TOU. through the winter season. Although many excellent articles have appeared in recent years in our best journals on the subject of planting for winter effect, yet almost all of this valuable information has been written for winter effects which could be produced in the latitude of New York city or along the Atlantic coast as far north as Boston, and in many cases this information, as applied to the region of the Great Lakes, has often resulted in partial, if not complete, failure. This has served to discourage those who sought to reproduce the winter pictures painted by writers from a more tem- perate region. Although a great many of the trees and shrubs which are useful for planting for winter effect come from foreign lands and are useful in this coun- try only when extremes in temperature are not very severe, yet a long list of iron-clad materials is at hand to select from for the extremely cold regions of our northern states. The Beautiful Winter Woods. When we contemplate planting for winter effect, the mind turns first to the evergreens, then to berry plants, and to the bright colored branches of the dog- woods and osiers, etc., but seldom do we think of the beautiful effect of the win- ter woods, the persistent foliage of some of the beeches and oaks, which, although brown and dry, yet is cheerful in its ef- fect. Little is thought of the beautiful shades of brown, gray and white, in the trunk and branch, or of the variety of the framework of the various trees, which gives an element of strength to the winter landscape, or of the variety in trees and shrubs, in the delicate tracery of their smaller twigs, as evi- denced by some of the birches and alders, etc., in the trees, and in the shrubs by such as Stephanandra flexuosa, the coral berry (Symphoricarpus vulgaris) and some of the spiraeas. Deciduous Trees in Winter. Among the deciduous trees which are attractive during winter might be men- tioned the oriental plane ^_i-latanus occi- dentalis), which, with its pendent balls of fruit borne high against the sky, seems to take away the barrenness of the deciduous trees, and is suggestive of the Christmas decorations so admired by the young folks, on Christmas trees. While this tree is beautiful in winter, it has also much to recommend it as a fast- growing tree for summer effect. Its beautiful bark, with the irregular patches of green and gray, are also interesting in the winter season. In much the same manner the liquidambar (Liquidambar styraciflua) is interesting, with its fruit in pendent spiked balls. Its symmetrical form of growth and extremely corky branches are noticeable to those who are only casual observers. The shellbark hickory (Hicoria ovata), while suggest- ive of strength, is also especially inter- esting on account of its peculiar bark formation, which is unlike that of any other common species of tree.

It is then that we value the brown stemmed shrubs along with the osiers and dogwoods. In order to secure exceedingly good effects in stem coloration it is well to remember that the highest color is pro- duced in the growth of the current year, and in order to secure this growth we must not be afraid to prune heavily in the spring, so as not to destroy the ef- fect in winter. This is particularly true of the willows, dogwoods and kerrias. Planting With a Definite Purpose. All planting should be done to a defi- nite purpose. If it is for a place that is to be occupied throughout the entire year, we should not fail to make ample provision for the effect which we can produce in the winter. If successfully planned, such a planting would be a work of art, which would not only appeal to every artistic eye, but would at the same time serve as an education to the people. The efforts of many landscape gar- deners in ^the past have been to plan for summer effects only and we are often sated with the profusion of sum- mer bloom. It is in the winter that we more fully appreciate what we can get by way of color and tone. Too often we see the home grounds arrayed with bundles of straw, burlap, and barnyard refuse, and the graceful shrubs, which are absolutely hardy and need no protection, tied up in an un- speakable manner, suggestive of the hair dressing of an African chief. The effective arrangement of plants for winter effect can never be taught, as it is more difficult than the more or less stereotyped summer effects can possi- bly be, yet it is worthy of careful study and will repay every effort. Winter travel and constant observation will en- able us to add to our storehouse of knowledge. The growing desire for outdoor exer- cise, especially in winter, when indoor ventilation is so often neglected, cannot be too much emphasized, and if it can be stimulated by the creation of better winter gardens and by rendering more beautiful the great out-of-doors, in the winter season, the art of the landscape profession will have taken a long stride forward. PITTSBURG'S NEW FIRM. Beginning September 1, Pittsburg will have a new wholesale cut flower commis- sion house and dealer in florists' supplies. The name of the new firm is the McCal- lum Co., and its headquarters will be at 937 Liberty avenue. The officers of the company are as follows: President, E. J. McCallum; secretary, K. Klinke; treas- urer, F. B. Woods; manager supply de- partment, W. Q. Potter. Each of these gentlemen has for a number of years been connected with the older firms in the trade in Pittsburg, so that there is plenty of experience back of the new or- ganization. It is stated that A. T. Lorch & Co., F. H. Westhoff and 8. J. Hatch, of De Haven; the South View Floral Co., of Carrick; Charles Hoffmeyer, of Car- negie; P. M. Maier, of Woodville, and other growers of Lancaster county are interested in the firm. Pittsburg is one of the best flower towns in the country and with a return to normal business conditions in the steel and iron industry the business there is sure of continued rapid development, with room enough for everyone who produces good stock or whose service in selling is what it ought to be. GARDENERS' OPPO^UNITIES. A Philadelphian writing in the Journal of the British Gardeners' Association says in part: "One remedy, to a certain extent, for the overcrowded condition of the horti- cultural profession in Great Britain is for the more enterprising of the younger gardeners to emigrate to one of our colo- nies or to the United States. Here, in the Philadelphia district, most of the good gardeners in private places are Brit- ish born and trained. So far as I can ascertain, there afe few gardens here where apprentices or young gardeners are trained, and, in fact, there are few places where they could obtain so thor- ough a training as do the young gar- deners at home. "This is due to the fact that the gar- dens are on a smaller scale than those in Britain, and that the whole system of gardening is what a British gardener would call a slipshod system. Thus it follows that it is quite easy for a gar- dener trained under the more exacting system in Britain to adapt himself to the methods in vogue here, and to im* prove upon them in some cases. But he must come prepared to adapt himself, and not expect to be able to thrust Brit- ish methods on the Yankees, for they strongly object to this. "There are few, if any, private places in this country where there is a bothy for the gardeners. The staff in the gar- den usually consists of a head gardener, called the superintendent, who has charge of the stock and farm. There are one or more assistant gardeners inside and outside who are trained men, and the rest of the hands are usually Italian or Irish laborers, who are paid about $1.50 per day. The head gardeners' wages are from $75 to $100 per month, with house and other privileges. The wages of the assistant gardeners are from $25 to $45 per month, with board and lodg- ing. ' * Commercial rose, carnation and chry- santhemum growing is an important in- dustry in this district. Good wages are paid for experienced rose growers. I have seen In advertisements $100 per month offered for really good men; but for this work American experience is re- quired. On the whole, I think that the prospects of advancement for a young gardener are much better than in Eng- land. Life near Philadelphia is very similar to that in the old country; we have all modern improvements — in fact, the natives firmly believe they are far in advance of British methods in all things. I tried Toronto, Canada, before I came here, but found that the demand for gar- deners was not so good; the wages are about the same, but there is more de- mand for commercial men than private gardeners. However, Canada is growing rapidly, and in a few years will compare favorably with the United States for gar- dens and gardeners." DOUBLE WHtTE MEADOW SWEET.

A bulletin on "Thrips in Green- houses" has been prepared by Prof. A. will soon be ready for distribution from the Illinois Agricultural E^^periment Sta- tion. The following summary of the C. Beal, of the Department of Horti- culture in the University of Illinois, and contents of the bulletin baa been sup- plied by the author: Thrips injury to cut flowers in green- houses is a recent trouble. Thrips are very small, winged, suck- ing insects, which lay their eggs in the green parts of plants. The "hothouse species" was not found, but a closely related species is widely distributed. The great damage to roses and carna- tions is due to the work of two common outdoor species — wheat thrips and onion thrips (E. tritici and T. tabaci). Cucumbers are injured by onion thrips (Thrips tabaci-Lind.). Observations made show that T. tabaci is the most abundant species in green- houses in autumn and winter, but that Euthrips tritici becomes the most abun- dant species in rose houses in summer. Thrips tabaci appear to prefer the car- nation to the rose. Eggs are laid inside the calyx of car- nations, on the outside of the calyx of the rose, and in the tissues of the lower side of the leaf of cucumbers and callas. Injury is caused by withdrawal of the sap from the cells of the petals and leaves of plants, leaving white blotches on colored flowers, a browning of petals of white or light pink flowers, and a gray, hoary appearance to leaves. All species are more or less sensitive to bright sunlight and generally seek shaded positions. Temperatures -at night above 60 de- grees are favorable to thrips, and their appearance and worst injury may be ex- pected in the warmest parts of the house. Conditions favorable to red spider are favorable to thrips. Thrips injury is greatest in autumn and spring and least in midwinter. Some varieties of carnations 8|e more subject to attack from thrips. .»<,_|\ , Experiments with insecticides on ^^Q^'' tions in a commercial establishment.

'', a- Hydrocyanic acid gas, one otmce to each 1,000 cubic feet of space, danger- ous to young cucumber plants, but suffi- cient to destroy an average of nifliety-two per cent of the thrips. \),.- Hydrocyanic acid gas, one ounce to each 3,000 cubic feet of space, destroyed aleyrodes (white fly), but only eleven per cent of thrips, while it did not injure the plants. Daily sprayings with nicotine insecti- cide on the upper surfaces of the leaves, and the spray syringed off, gave good, practical results. Spraying thoroughly will clean out thrips, provided the plants will stand the hard syringing necessary to remove the spray^ Tobacco smoke is not a very efficient insecticide for thrips. Sprays made with two-thirds of an ounce of any of the stronger nicotine insecticides per gallon of water gave promising results. Nicotine is the poisonous principle in the insecticides used. Pure nicotine in very dilute solutions kills thrips almost instantly when sprayed on them.

The Great Central MarkeU Business began to pick up toward the end of last week and may be said to be unusually active for the closing days of August; ordinarily the last fortnight of August is about the dullest period of summer. Conditions are radically different from those of a year ago. There is no glut of asters and all outdoor stock is either scarce or poor. There are many thou- sands of gladioli, but a majority are too poor to be worth sending to market and do not count in considering the supply. • There are few indoor flowers and supply is in general much ta^bter than nsnal at this date. Light «opply always means brisk demand, at least by contrast, and there is an appearance of activity the market iHW not had for months. Every- thing of usable quality is cleaned up eaeb dSay. Ifl the rose department Killarney pre- dominates. It is in large supply and although the most popular rose, there Mention The Review when you write. are quantities adequate to all require- ments. Beauties also are more abundant than they have been. There is little change as to other varieties. The midseason asters now being on, the quality is improved, but the supply is nowhere near so large as it would have been with normal weather conditions. There is no glut, as is usual at this date. The best asters bring fine prices and even the poorest sell out after a fashion. Carnations once more are available, some growers having begun to cut from the freshly benched plants in the houses, while others are sending in increased quantities of field grown stock. Of course, the stems are short, but most of the stock is clean and salable. There continue to be adequate supplies of lilies of all kinds. Valley is again plentiful. The approach of the autumn season is shown in that a few chrysanthe- mums are seen. Beginning September 1, all the whole- sale houses will be open until 6 p. m. and the new season may be said to be fairly on. Death of Mrs. Pieser. Mrs. Myra Pieser, wife of Gabriel H. Pieser, president of the Kennicott Bros. Co., and mother of George H. Pieser, died August 18, after a long illness. She was in the hospital, but was thought ta be much better,, when an internal hemor- rhage caused the end to come most un- expectedly. The funeral was held from Purth's chapel on Grand boulevard Au- gust 20, with interment at Graceland cemetery. Mr. Pieser, being left en- tirely alone, has broken up housekeeping and will in the future make his home with his son, George. Thompson Scores a Point.

Various Notes. The A. L. Randall Co. was represented at Niagara Falls last week by Frank Johnson, Miss Tonner and Frank Famey, the latter having his samples at the Inter- national hotel, where some good orders were taken. N. J. Rupp, of the John C. Moninger Co., says they were specially well pleased with the amount of business booked at Niagara Falls last week. The first two days they took orders aggregating $2,800, with a large number of prospects for future business. They gave customers a handsome pocket-book sonvenir. R. H. Woodyard, of Sharp, Part- ridge & Co., represented that firm at Niagara Falls last week. E. C. AmUng says he looks for a quite unusual season this fall, some growers being ready with good stock and others late in beginning to cut, with the re- sult of higher average prices than a year ago and some growers doing splen- didly while others suffer, particularly carnation growers whose stock is small. A. C. Spencer has returned from his fortnight's outing in Wisconsin. E. E. Pieser and wife started east August 22 by way of Mackinac Island, the lakes and the St. Lawrence. They will be absent about a month. The E. F. Winterson Co. received the first chrysanthemums of the season Au- gust 20. They were Golden Glow from Elmer D. Smith & Co., Adrian, Mich. E. Asmus, formerly in business in Chi- cago, is here from Helena, Mont., for a visit. Mr. Asmus is a nephew of Emil Buettner. He is now with the State Nursery C<5. The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. shows an- other sign of the approach of autumn, cosmos iu two colors, the first arriving August 21. Bassett & Washburn began to cut chrysanthemums August 22. Wietor Bros, say they still are selling chrysanthemum plants and in the last week have made shipments to points as far away as New Jersey. Brother-in-law Frank Ayres is in charge of C. W. McKellar's business while Mr. and Mrs. McKellar are visiting friends in Michigan on the way home from the S. A. F. convention. Zech & Mann say this has been their best summer and that they look forward to a good increase in business during the approaching busy season. They re- cently have added to their list of con- signors. Miss Furlong, who presides in the office of Weiland & Risch, has returned from her vacation, five weeks of which were spent at Laury, Colo. J. P. Risch is now at Antioch for his outing. A large new safe has been installed in the office in anticipation of the approaching of the busy season. C. M. Dickinson, at E. H. Hunt's, re- turned Tuesday from a trip to Toronto and Detroit, following the Niagara Falls convention. He says that at the conven- tion in two days they sold over 600 of the Wittbold clamps for building con- crete benches. Miss Nelda Wolf, of J. A. Budlong's city store, has returned from an outing with her sister at Lake Geneva, The Dalles, Kilbourn and other points in Wis- consin. Scheiden & Schoos say they have sold out on field grown carnation plants, 47,- 000 having been disposed of within a couple of weeks.

DIRXCT BULB IMPORTERS Mention The Review when you write. ONONNATL The Market Business last week was a duplicate of the week before. The demand was just about the same and the supply likewise. Beauties sold best of all and, next to them, first quality asters. Other roses sold only fairly well. The weather was hot up to the middle of the week, when at last a break came and it has been de- lightful ever since. Several good rains supplied a much needed want, as it was extremely dry in the country and several growers were suffering for want of water. Qncinnati as a Convention Gty. The florists of this city are happy in the fact that the S. A. F. has voted to visit them in 1909. They appreciate the honor that has been conferred upon them and they have resolved to do all in their power to make the meeting here next year one of the greatest ever held by the society. The central location of Cincin- nati ought to bring out the largest at- tendance ever known. And for the same reason the trade exhibit ought to excel all others. Cincinnati has a great place in which to hold the trade exhibit. There will be plenty of room for all and there will be every facility for staging any kind of an exhibit a firm may want to put up. Besides that, we have many beautiful hotels and there will be ample accommodations for all at whatever price they wish to pay. Cincinnati is one of the greatest cities in the country when it comes to summer amusements. There can be no question but that all who come to the convention will be glad that they came and those who remained at home will be sorry that they did not come. At the next meeting of the Florists' Society the first steps will be taken towards set- ting the machinery in motion and from that time on no stone will be left un- turned to make the meeting in 1909 the greatest in the history of the society. Various Notes. Vice-president-elect E. G. Gillett ar- rived home Saturday evening, accom- panied by his family. He has been busy since then receiving the congratulations of his many friends, in the trade and out, in this city. Frank Huntsman brought in a sample of the fruit from his seedling peach tree. In this he has quite a good thing, as the peach has passed judgment before many experts and they pronounce it an exceptionally good one. Gus. Adrian has joined Max Rudolph on his trip among the Great Lakes. Thej will be away for several weeks. Park Superintendent J. W. Bodgers has returned from his trip through sev- eral of the large cities of the middle west. He visited the parks and has come home full of ideas which he will try to have adopted in our parks. F. E. Howald, of the Atlanta Pl«ral Co., Atlanta, Ga., was a visitor between trains on his way to the north. Wm. Murphy is another of those who are spending a few weeks in northern Michigan. C. J. Ohmeb.

The greenhouses near "Westminster, about five miles from here, were dam- aged by fire August 4 to the extent of about $1,000. The boiler room, cut flower room, potting room, coal bins and work room were destroyed and the adjoining part of. several houses damaged. The boilers were full of water and were not damaged. Unfortunately, the insurance had expired only a few hours before the fire. A few days after the fire the greenhouses and forty acres of ground were bought by H. E. Mosnat, of this city. The greenhouses are planted to car- nations, and fine new stock is now being cut. The new owner will replace the de- stroyed buildings with concrete struc- tures and will also make extensive im- provements. The men did splendid work in controlling the fire as well as they did. NEVORLEAN& The Market Since my last report the chrysanthe- mum crop seems to have taken a bad turn. Many complaints are heard from growers who have lost some of their plants, the long spell of wet weather hav- ing created a soft, rank growth, which does not agree with the dry, hot weather we are having now. That will give an advantage to the plants grown under glass. Various Notes. A communication from the Society of Southern Florists and Ornamental Horti- culturists has been mailed by Secretary Paul Abele to many florists of the south, calling their attention to the importance of the organization which is going to have its next meeting at New Orleans in November, at the same time as the show of the New Orleans Horticultural So- ciety. The trade is invited to make an exhibit, the price of space being fixed at 20 cents per square foot; minimum, ten square feet. The New Orleans Horticultural Society had a meeting Thursday, August 20. President R. P. Steekler appointed a com- mittee of three to act in conjunction with the Society of Southern Florists. They are M. M. de Lapouyade, H. Doescher and R. C. Eichling. The finance commit- tee for the next term will be in charge of Otto AbelCi Otto Werner and Charles Eble. There were three new applica- tions for membership — John Hern, H. A. Steekler, M. J. Gurtler. The attendance at the meeting was not large, some mem- bers being out of town. H. Papworth, Charles Eble, M. Cook and a few others were at the convention.

Baker, late superintendent of Au- dubon park, says he is preparing for pub- lication a work which he believes is badly needed in the south. It is a plant culture or working handbook, especially written for the southern climate. Many valuable treatises of this kind, referring to the north, are of no value to us, and many directions published in northern papers are quite erroneous when followed in the south. Abele Bros., who not many years ago started business in a small way, are now coming to the front as wholesalers. They are erecting four new houses to grow young stock in. They have to in- crease their production, having formed a contract with the Joseph Steekler Seed Co. to furnish that firm with the plants and nursery stock needed for its cata- logue. Their stock is already large and in fine condition. Having lately pur- chased an adjoining piece of ground, they have increased their place and are on the way to become one of the largest flower establishments around here. They believe in raised outside benches for the growing of roses and carnations and, judging from what they have, it is cer- tainly worth while to consider the ad- vantages of this new system. P. Kaul roots Magnolia fuscata layers in sphagnum moss, the same way as ficus. They form roots well enough, but the question is how they will stand when separated from the plants. He claims that they can be established in pots. M. M. L. BOSTON. The Market Dull trade ruled in cut flower circles last week and it looks as though there would be no special improvement for some weeks to come. Outdoor flowers continue to dominate the market. Alters are at their full flood tide, prices varying all the way from 25 cents for ordinary stock to $2 for best blooms of Comet or Ostrich Plume. Gladioli are overplenti- ful and hard to dispose of; $4 per hun- dred has been about an average price on these. Roses are abundant but small, and meet with sluggish sales. The old crop of carnations is now done and a number of growers have started with the new crop. These are rather short-stemmed yet, but are making bet- ter prices. Lilies are abundant, and lily of the valley sells fairly well, but at low rates. Among outdoor flowers. Euphor- bia corollata, Veronica longifoUa sub- sessilis and some varieties of the heli- anthus are seen. A good many dahlias come in, but always meet with a slow trade. Asparagus and adiantum meet with moderate sales. Exhibition. One of th< finest exhibitions of the J ..:'."';> August 27, 1908.

Gladioli were never shown in larger numbers or greater perfection in Boston. John Lewis Childs had an extensive dis- play, comprising many excellent commer- cial varieties, such as America, Melrose, Blue Jay, Contrast, Cardinal, Alaska, Fireside, Blanche and Aline. B. Ham- mond Tracy, a specialist in these flowers at Wenham, Mass., had a superb collec- tion, including mauy beautiful seedlings. The varieties Dawn and Butterfly re- ceived honorable mention. For 100 vases gladioli, arranged for eflfect, B. H. Tracy was first, but he was beaten for twelve named varieties by W, Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener. For fifty vases China asters, Francis Skinner; Mrs. J. L. Gard- ner, W. Thatcher gardener; and W. Whitman won in order named. Perennial phloxes were shown in large quantities. For not less than thirty vases, T. C. Thurlow led, followed by Blue Hill Nurseries, W. Whitman and George Hollis. Among miscellaneous displays were large collections of herbaceous plants from Farquhar & Co., F. J. Eea, Belle- vue Nurseries, W. Whitman and Blue Hill Nurseries. Farquhar & Co. made a big display of Lilium auratum, Henryi and Leichtlini. They also had a collec- tion of new dahlias, which received hon- orable mention. J. F. Flood & Co. had a large display of phloxes. There was a splendid display of fruit, the pears, plums, peaches and melons being noteworthy features. Among the vegetable displays the mammoth onions, Prize Taker and Ailsa, from W. J. Clem- son, J. O. Christensen gardener, were of special merit. The Boston Mycological Club had, as usual, a large assortment of mushrooms, which were a potent attrac- tion to many of the visitors. Variotts Notes. Among those bringing in the first of the new season's crop of carnations are Peter Fisher, S. J. Goddard, James Tulis, H. H. Rogers and P. E. Richwagen. The last grower to bring in the old crop was Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham. The auction sale of stalls at Park Street market August 29 starts at 9 a. m. sharp.

Mention The Review when you write. PHILADELPHIA. The Rising Eastern Market* There seems reason for indulging in the hope that the lowest ebb of midsum- mer dullness is past. Business in cut flowers was so dull during the convention that it seemed impossible for things to be worse. Friday and Saturday saw a slight improvement, which was continued on Monday. The demand was chiefly for fancy asters and for Beauties, but this demand had a perceptible effect on sev- eral other varieties of flowers. The market conditions vary from last week in that there are more really fine asters coming in. The quality of many of Semple's Branching and of Vick's leaves little to be desired. The flowers are large, firm, and well colored, the stems long, the foliage good. Beauties are also improving, the cooler weather of the last few days having a perceptible eflfect on the color of the really nice new crop blooms now coming in from local growers. The eastern stock continues superior in body and in color, but the difference is not so marked as a fortnight ago. America continues the most pop- uuir gladiolus, good spikes of this va- riety bringing excellent prices. Carna- tions have made their appearance from indoor-g^rown plants, Afterglow, Beacon, Enchantress, Lieut. Peary and Guardian Angel being most prominent so far. They are beautifully colored, of fair size and substance, but with stems far below mar- ket requirements. Ethel Crocker, I think from field-grown plants, is fine. White are apt to bring 50 cents a hundred more than colored carnations in the market. Dahlias have made their appearance. A. D. Livoni, a show pink, is prominent. Of the other flowers it is only neces- sary to say that there has been a dread- ful slaughter of Kaiserin, especially in the poorer grades, that Brides and Maids are improving in quality, that asters that cannot be classed as choice are bad stock indeed, and that the outdoor flowers do not, as a rule, sell at satisfactory prices. A London Letter. The following extract from a letter recently received in this city is of more than usual interest to horticulturists: "This afternoon we all went to a flower show, the finest I have ever seen. It was held by the Royal Horticultural Society in the grounds of Holland House; they had numbers of large tents and a band.

We saw some Harry Kirks which father was rather disappointed in; they are a deeper yellow than our own, and larger, but not as fine as some of the other yellow roses. The Killarney was no better than at home. Dickson had an exhibit there." A Seed Warehouse. Through the courtesy of J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the Henry A. Dreer corpora- tion, J was enabled a few days ago to see the company's seedhouse at 714 Chest- nut street and the warehouse at Seventh and Locust streets under particularly fa- vorable circumstances. We began by ascending to the roof at 714, where a new greenhouse 9x20 is nearly completed. Just think of it, a greenhouse on the roof of a four-story Chestnut street building. It seems decidedly modern. This greenhouse is built of cypress roof- ing material, with sides of corrugated iron, and heated by hot water. It is in- tended for testing the seeds, especially vegetable, before they are sent out. A few seeds from each bag wUl be tried immediately after their arrival, under as nearly natural conditions as possible, and the result carefully noted. When the soil has been once used for germinating a crop of seeds it is purified by air and hydrated lime before it is used a second time. The value of such test to a seedhouse priding itself on reliability cannot be overestimated. The interesting features of the third and fourth floors are the changes recently made. Flower seeds and bulbs are pre- sided over by George D. Clarke; the vegetable seeds are looked after by Charles H. McKubbin. These two kinds of seeds have heretofore been associated, but the growth of the business in each has rendered more room imperatively necessary. System is the watchword of both departments. On one side you see drawers containing smaller quantities of each variety of seeds, on the other side larger quantities of the same seeds. The difficulty encountered in filling orders is the great variety of seeds called for in one order. This difficulty has been met here by the introduction of a large num- ber of small movable drawers in which the oruer can be placed and the seeds thrown in and checked off as the order passes from department to department, the danger of error thus being reduced to a minimum. Another feature is the printing machine used for labels, tags, etc. The second floor is devoted to the office, the department presided over by Herbert G. TuU. The ground floor, as is well known, is the general salesroom, where samples of better stock in th« upper floors and in the warehouse are carried and sold. The Vacuum System. The Keller Pottery Co. closed down its plant for three weeks during July in order to install the vacuum system, and also to get the place in general running order for the coming season. Charles Keller, president of the company, showed a representative of the Review through the extensive workshop a short time ago. Two suction pumps have been installed to bring back the water from the return AUOUBT 27, 1908.

Michell, who was pre- vented at the last moment from attend- ing the Niagara convention, said that his company felt fully repaid for making so large an exhibit at the convention by the interest shown and the generous orders received from those who were present. Israel Rosnosky, who repre- sented the company there, is now in Boston. Albert Swan, catcher for the AU- American baseball team at Niagara last week, has returned to this city. Mr. Swan says that the convention was a great success, and that an overcoat would not have been amiss at times. B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., was greatly pleased with the interest taken in his firm's convention exhibit. Mr. Esch- ner says that everything went oflf well. Edw. Reid was successful in getting his measure to secure twenty-five per cent discount for weight of ice from the express companies before the legislative committee of the S. A. F.

Mr. Barkowitz enjoyed especially greeting his friends again and thought the crowd of outsiders admitted to the exhibition hall was the only drawback to the pleasure of the occasion.

The Market The New Yorkers who attended the convention came from the perfect weather of Niagara into rain, heat and humidity Saturday. Monday, however, was cool and stock came to the cut flower market in endless profusion. Quality is improv- ing every day. Society is away — all of it, even the great middle class. The steady flower buyers of the winter time are in the hills and far away. The chil- dren are not yet back for school, and as Charley, of Thorney's, says, just back from his restful summer, "There's nuthin' doin'.» Most of the Beauties coming in are small and poor.

There are few carna- tions, but it will not be over a month until all the novelties are again in evi- dence. Of the asters, the new varieties and the best of the old are as beautiful as chrysanthemums and find a fair de- mand, but many a barrel of the poor stuff finds no outlet but the dump. What a lesson the growers are getting this year of the utter uselessness of growing com- mon stuff! The same rule holds good as to every variety of cut flowers. It is now, and ever will be, the survival of the fittest. Even in this dullest of dull times, the good stock sells. This market has little room for mediocrity. There is a tremendous lot of lily of the valley in the ice-boxes. Some of it from the east does not revive after ar- rival. The lily supply from outdoors is fine, especially rubrum and longiflorum. Coreopsis, rudbeckia, tritoma and hy- drangea are abundant and help to make the retail windows attractive. Never were the gladioli so perfect as now. Grand stock arrives daily, with America still the most beautiful and the heaviest in demand. Variotu Notes. The S. A. F. president is back and at his desk again. We are proud of him. He did himself honor and everybody speaks highly of his goad, practical com- mon sense and his splendid executive abil- ity. The young man eloquent, E. V. Hal- lock, was in conference with him and the secretary and other bright lights of Twenty-eighth street Monday. All who attended Treasurer Beatty's banquet at the Statler hotel, Buffalo, after the bowling ended, say it was a feast of soul, etc., long to be remembered. C. C. Pollworth and wife, of Milwau- kee, came via the Hudson river trip Fri- day, James McManus and family accom- panying them. D. Falconer, of Chatham, the rose grower, was in town Monday. He has been sending his fine stock to J. K. Allen for thirteen years. A. L. Young has been away on a fish- ing trip with Theo. Hengstenberg and August Siegel, and ten-pound specimens and a quarter ton catch are among the claims of the Nimrods. W. H. Miller, of the same house, has even larger tales from the Highlands.

The following account of the trip to Niagara Falls was crowded out of last week's issue: The New York delegation to the con- vention numbered 146 souls, and jolly old souls, as the poet says, were they all, for a more cheery, harmonious and happy crowd it would be hard to gather. The special train was comfortably filled, though it was short fifty of the num- ber expected and twenty-five short of the acceptances Secretary Young re- ceived. In fact, when you add those who went ahead and those who ought to go to those who went. New York should have been easily represented by 300. It is hard to understand why any florist within 1,000 miles of any convention can aflford to stay away from it, especially this year, when we met at the grandest spot on the globe. The weather man was propitious. "We started with a cool, cloudy morning and the whole day made good, none of the August heat of other years, and the road of anthracite made good, clean air, clean living and not a speck of dust, and many a stretch of level country whizzed over .at a speed of sixty miles an hour.

The bowling team was in deep discus- sion most of the way, and have decided to stand or fall together. We also had a batch of lady bowlers on the train that will be heard from. Most of the terri- tory within twenty-five miles of New York sent its delegation. The crowd from the city itself was far below the estimate. The New York Florists' Club added to its well known reputation for hospitality. Every comfort possible was accorded its guests and refreshments of every kind were abundant, even to ice cream smd candy, of which there was enough and to spare. President Traendly, President Weathered, Secre- tary Young, Treasurer Allen and Vice- president Marshall did the official hon- ors with constant interest in the com- fort of the ladies. Harmless games, in which Joe Manda managed, as usual, to draw four aces, kept the sporty element awake. Most of the politicians had preceded the spe- cial and were at the Falls when we ar- rived. Long Island did itself proud. The delegation from across the bridge was up-to-date and fat in numbers. Many of the excursionists brought their wives and quite a number are returning via To- ronto, the St. Lawrence and Montreal. If weather and accommodations and grandeur of surroundings are consid- ered, it would seem as if after Cincin- nati this would be the ideal center to make permanent as the annual meeting place of the S. A. F. Altogether it was con- ceded by the occupants of the New York special that a more delightful day of travel to the convention was never ex- perienced, and the only regret was that a larger crowd did not appreciate its opportunity and participate in the fes- tivities, ERIE, PA.

The Weekly Florists* Review. 29 Vegetable Forciog. CAULIFLOWER TO FOLLOW MUMS. I have a house with mums in solid benches, which I would like to follow with cauliflower. "Will someone tell me what variety would be best to use? Please state also the time for sowing seed and give me a little idea as to culture. A. L. Either Snowball or Dwarf Erfurt is a good variety for indoor culture. The time of sowing will depend on the date at which you expect to have your house cleared of the mums. If you are grow- ing early varieties you can have the house empty sometime in October, but with late kinds it would be well into November before they would be all fin- ished. However, you can make your own calculations, allowing six weeks from time of seed sowing until the plants are fit to set out in the house. Cauliflower does better in solid beds than in raised benches, though good crops can be grown in the latter, only they need closer attention in the matter of watering. Being healthy feeders, the soil should be well enriched, either with barnyard manure or some good fertilizer, the former preferable. Dwarf varieties, like those above mentioned, can be set one foot apart. The most suitable tem- perature is 45 to 50 degrees at night, with a rise of 15 degrees by sun-heat, and air should be given on all favorable occasions, to keep the growth firm . and stocky. Caterpillars sometimes get into the house and prove troublesome. The best remedy is hand picking, as they seldom come in such large numbers but that they can be kept in check in this way. Greenfly can be got rid of by smoking with tobacco. Syringing is seldom necessary, but a little overhead sprinkling on bright days will help the plants to resist the flag- ging influence of the sun. When the heads are well formed they should be shaded until finished by having a few of the leaves broken over them. The whiteness of the head goes a good, long way in procuring the best price for the product. William Scott. MINNEAPOLIS. The Market. Continued scarcity of flowers was the cry of the market last week. The de- mand is excellent. A number of funerals in prominent circles caused the florists some rapid fire thinking as to what to get, and principally where to get it. Asters and speciosum lilies were the main stock used. Carnations have not made their appearance to any extent on the market as yet, and roses are scarce. The weather continues cold, and florists are bracing up for fall business, about to begin. " Various Notes. Oscar Carlson and R. A. Latham have been catching some fine fish lately on their week end trips to the country in this state and Wisconsin. Miss Whitted returned August 22 from her trip east, having stopped at Niagara on her way back, and, in her own words, "had the time of her life."

Trade has been good since last report, with a great deal of funeral work, which used up a good lot of stock. Roses are coming in from new stock, mostly Maid and Bride. Carnations are rather scarce, as all the old stock is thrown out and those coming in are all from new stock. They are good, but not enough to go around. Gladioli are quite plentiful and move slowly, but are good for display purposes. Asters are coming in more plentifully, but most of them are rather small and short stemmed. First-class asters are scarce in this market. Various Notes.* Only a few attended the convention from this city, as a great many were away on vacations and it tied others down. Jas.

Since the beginning of the year there has been an unusual amount of building done by florists in this city. According to the records there have been eleven permits granted for greenhouses or addi- tions. These include the following: A. E. Westcott, 552 Public street, 20x40 feet; estate of Owen McCarron, 402 Hope street, 20x20 and 18x50; Mary Cameron, Marlboro street, 14x40; E. J.

At a recent meeting of the Lincoln town council, William Taylor, a Cumber- land florist, was allowed $64 in settle- ment of a bill for services rendered by him. Last June two Greeks were cele- brating in that town with a revolver, when the town sergeant and Mr. Taylor happened to come along. As they ap- proached the Greeks the pistol waa hid- den, and the sergeant asked them who had been flring off the weapon in the street. Both denied any knowledge of the matter and the sergeant, in attempt- ing to search the pockets of- one of the fellows, was suddenly confronted with the pistol in the hands of one of them. Mr. Taylor rushed to the assistance of the officer, without being called upon, and was shot in the abdomen in the scuffle that preceded the arrest of the Greeks. The bullet has not yet been ex- tracted. Mr. Taylor presented a bill to the town council, asking $50 for loss of time and $14 for medical attention. He signed papers releasing the town from further claim for damages. Various Notes. John F. Wood has sold his retail store at 112 Westminster street to William B. Hazard and has gone west. T. F. Keller is now located at 147 Mathewson street, having moved from 190 on the same street. The Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Bhode Island has adjourned its regular meetings until the second Monday even- ing in October, unless a special one is called by the president before that time. Andrew Pow, of "The Breakers" greenhouses, at Newport, announces the marriage, August 26, in Boston, of his niece, Miss Lizzie Morrison, to George Dye, both of Newport. W. H. M. CORNFLOWER. Will you kindly let me know the proper time to sow cornflower (bachelor but- ton) seed? Also the best way to grow same? W. C. G. It is not stated whether the corn- flowers are intended for outdoor or in- door culture. If grown under glass, a cool, airy house is essential and a night temperature of 45 to 48 degrees is suffi- ciently high. For an early spring crop, make sowings in drills two feet apart in November, after the chrysanthemums are cut. The same soil wUl answer, if some well rotted manure is added to it. Raised benches are to be preferred to solid beds for this early crop and a light house is necessary. Thin out the little seedlings where they come up thickly. Treat as you would ten weeks' stock or antir- rhinum, and you will get a nice crop of flowers in early spring. Outdoors, the first sowing of seed should be put in just as soon as frost leaves the ground. If wanted through- out the season, make additional sowings until July 1, at intervals of three weeks. Grow in nursery rows two and two and one-half feet apart, or, if you want to use a horse cultivator, better have the rows a foot wider. Cornflowers are of easy culture. Owing to their persistent flowering qualities, they are a useful an- nual. As a rule, the dark blue variety of Centaurea Cyanus, named Emperor Wil- liam, has the chief commercial value. C. W.

Peas have been harvested and most varieties have given fair results. Sweet corn is coming along fairly well, but in the west will hardly recover from the early setback.

In general the seed crops in the Qued- linburg district of Germany are described as "middling." A cold, damp spring caused a weak germination and July was hot and dry. The acreage in many instances was smaller than usual and not many vegetables or farm seeds, ex- cept sugar beet, promise good crops. Spinach yielded fairly well.

Prim- ula Chinensis, Primula obconica, saint- paulias, streptocarpus, etc., are yielding a good crop. At Erfurt the season has been about normal and the outlook is more favor- able. Cauliflower, radish, leek, parsley and parsnip are in good shape. Brussicas are only middling, the winter having made great gaps in the plantations. Let- tuces have not been largely planted, but appear in first-rate condition. Beets have not been so extensively planted as usual; long sorts promise well, but round sortd will be short. Some pea crops suffered by a recent hail. The flower fields look fine, those of phloxes, verbenas, etc., rivaling one another in brilliancy of tint.

It is too early yet to give a definite report as to the qualities and prices of this year's grass seeds and clovers, but it might be of interest to know the present state of things and we will give you in the following some short infor- mation. The South German agrostis is only now being cut and tl)e weather is very unf a^X)rable at present for the ' harvest- ing. Lower prices than last year are hardly to be expected. Aira flexuosa is an average crop. Prices will be about tlie same as last year. The reports about the crop of Alope- curus pratensis are tavoralile; liowever, the great loss in cleaning the seed will cause high prices again. * Anthoxanthum odoratum is about the same as last year, while Anthoxanthum Puelii is not yet in. No definite reports from France are to hand as to the crop of Avena clatior. The crop in Germany was an average one, but prices are not yet fixed. Some growing districts report a fair crop of Cynosurus cristatus. while in others the crop is still uncnt and un- favorable weather will do ^reat damage and cause high prices again.

LeCoq & Co. Darmstadt, August 14, 1908. FRENCH SEED CROPS. The early part of the season in France was much like that in the United States. In one section (the south) a long drought prevailed, while in the other (northwest) wet weather did equal damage. Beets will be a poor crop this year, on account of scarcity of plants set in for seeds, and no doubt the lucky holders of good stocks of current varieties, such as Flat Egyptian, Eclipse, Early Dark Red Turnip, etc., from last season, may look forward to a good profit on same. Car- rots were doing well up to lately, but in most parts of the country small cater- pillars have again appeared in the heads of the carrots, as has been the case these last years, eating off the seeds and de- stroying a whole crop in no time. Cab- bages, turnips and swedes are being har- vested and only prove a medium crop. Leeks are standing nicely and should the temperature keep on favorable, we may reckon upon a good crop. Lettuces are also looking nice; they only want about three to four weeks of nice hot weather to give us a good crop. Mangels have been planted again in large quantities for seeds, with the ex- ception of Long Red Mammoth, of which there is not much about. They give every hope of a good crop. Onions have done badly lately, under the influence of con- tinuous wet weather. Hot weather is helping them to recover a bit, but only a short crop is to be reckoned upon. Re- ports from Italy and the south of France on white varieties are bad, so that a big advance in prices must be expected. Radishes will also be a poor crop, ow- ing to scarcity of plants for seeds, a large quantity of them having perished soon after being transplanted, through a fortnight's drought which occurred at the time.

JAMES YICK'S SONS SEEDSMEN ROCHESTER, N Y. THE COSMOS DAHLIA. In connection with the work on the im- provement of florists' flowers, performed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Dr. Galloway says that a new summer- blooming dahlia has been developed by Geo. W. Oliver. "This new race of hy- brid dahlias has been produced within the past three years and it is believed will fill a long-felt want in supplying flowers of brilliant colors several weeks before the ordinary types of dahlias are avail- able. The ordinary types of dahlias which are now grown are the only ones which have been hitherto improved by gardeners and florists. The seed-bearing parent of the new race is a species dis- covered three years ago in Mexico at an elevation of 7,000 feet by Federico Chis- holm. The plants were forwarded to the Bureau of Plant Industry and have been crossed with the ordinary species, and as the result of these crosses more than twenty new forms have been developed." The principal feature of the new dah- lias is the early period of blooming, which begins by the end of June or the first half of JtAj. By October 1 the flowering capacity of the plants is prac- tically exhausted, only a few scattering blooms appearing after that period. One of the desirable characteristics of this new dahlia is its long stem, making it possible to cut blooms with stems eight- een inches long without a waste of un- opened flowers. The name "cosmos dah- lia" has been suggested by Mr. Oliver for the new hybrids because of the pro- fusion of bloom. The foliage is very diversified, some plants having fern-like foliage, others single and coarse leaves. Only three colors have appeared so far in the flowers, namely, crimson, scarlet and yellow in various shades. Three of the forms have shown signs of doubling, and the flowers of these were recrossed last summer in the hope of producing a re- liable double variety. Both the single and double forms have set seed freely. When the seed is germinated in the month of January, good strong plants are i«eady for setting out by the middle of May. BUDS OF OCTOBER FROST.

ROOTING MUM CUTTINGS. Is it possible to root chrysanthemum cuttings at this time of year and grow them on for stock plants for next spring, or will the cuttings run to bud and fail to develop! H. F. Mention The Review when you write. There would be no trouble in rooting suckers from the old plants at this time, but there would be no profit in it, as the care required and room needed for this kind of work, unless for some new or scarce variety, would be thrown away. Of course, cuttings taken now will in all probability produce summer buds, which are worse than useless. Stock plants, lifted and either boxed, planted or potted after the blooming sea- son is over, will give all the cuttings re- quired at the propagating season. ElBKS.

When the. Massachusetts Horticultural Society decided to have its free exhibi- tions open on Sunday afternoons as well as Saturday, there were those who claimed that the experiment would not be a success. The experience June 14, however, would alone serve to justify the wisdom of the policy which has been pursued this year. While the day was one on which most people preferred to be out of doors, the hall was filled nearly all the time. When the "pay exhibi- tions" are held, with the accompanying attraction of music, there is no diffi- culty in bringing people to the hall. Those who come to the regular Saturday exhibitions, however, are brought there solely by their love for flowers and plants, and it is noticeable that since the Sunday exhibitions were opened there has been an almost regular increase in the attendance. The Boston Transcript, which takes probably more interest in things floricul- tural than any other daily paper in the United States, says that when Sunday exhibitions were first proposed, at the time of occupying the new hall, it was contended that "the Massachusetts Hor- ticultural Society was in a sense a public institution, and that by reason of its po- sition it ought to do something to edu- cate the public to a greater interest in country life and horticulture. That these exhibitions are doing such a work is not to be doubted. The character of the visitors to the hall has changed since the removal to the new location. The people of the Back Bay and the denizens of the South End lodging houses meet with a common interest. The broadening of the scope of the work done by the organiza- tion can only be productive of good re- sults. It not only makes for education, but for democracy. The Saturday lec- tures through the winter and the Satur- day and Sunday exhibitions in summer are one of the most useful features of the Horticultural Society's work, and the holding of exhibitions as frequently as possible, rather than a few great shows, is a policy which should be en- couraged.

Wooding- ton, wife of the foreman at the Sibson Kose Nurseriea, with her two sons, is visiting relatives at Grand Rapids, Mich. Garfield, Wash. — Edwin G. Scott has moved his greenhouses to a better loca- tion and is adding two houses with con- crete walls, thus making his total glass area about 6,000 square feet. LOS ANGELES. State of Trade. Trade for the last week has been rather dull, almost all the retailers complaining, but we look for a rattling good business as soon as the result of the coming elec- tion lias been determined. Flowers are now almost at the store man's prices. Centaurea is selling at present at the fancy price of $1 per thousand, with carnations not much more, and hard to move even at these prices. Stock is not very good. Roses are scarce, with few outdoor ones to be had. H. N. Gage, a local grower, has opened up a stand in Hamburger's new depart- ment store, and there is every reason to believe that he will make a success of it. Qub Meeting. The Los Angeles Florists' Club is growing rapidly, having a membership of over seventy-five in good standing to date. At a special meeting called for Saturday evening, August 15, there were over forty members present. At the con- clusion of business they repaired to one of the leading cafes, where a bountiful repast was served. Several good speeches were listened to with evident intejrest and enjoyment, and after three good, lusty cheers for our president, O. C. Saakes, were given, everyone went home with a friendly feeling for his neighbor, the world in general and the Los Angeles Florists' Club in particular. C. E. M, PORTLAND, ORE. The Market We are passing through a quiet sum- mer and there is nothing interesting, from a business standpoint, to report. The weather has been hot and dry and the smoke from the forest fires does not help the situation. The month of July was the dullest we have experienced in years. The present month, however, has shown some signs of life, and occasion- ally an opportunity comes to turn out some fine funeral work. With no rain in seven weeks, all out- door stock has suffered severely and the cut flower market looks sick. Asters and sweet peas are fairly good, although short-stemmed, and we are told that it requires the constant use of the hose to keep them blooming. » A Visit to the Sibson Rose Nurseries. S. H. Forshaw, of Pendleton, Ore., well known to the trade here, was a most welcome visitor last week. He had not visited Portland since the Lewis and Clark Fair and was keen to note the progress this city has made in the last three years. As he expressed a wish to see the Sibson Rose Nurseries, the writer was ready to escort him to Sellwood. Mr. Sibson was on duty and brimming over n CALL4 BILBS / REACT TO SHIP Liberal count.

After leaving the place, Mr. Forshaw remarked that he was well paid for his trip to Portland and that be par- ticularly liked Mr. Sibson 's way of en- tertaining visitors. H. J. M. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market Business continues to improve slightly and the growers are having a much bet- ter demand for stock than at any time during the present summer. The weather continues even cooler than that of the last few weeks. The sun rarely shows itself until the middle of the afternoon, and the mornings and evenings are cold. This has its advantage in making it easy for the growers in their changing of houses, but is disadvantageous to the opening of all kinds of blossoms. The prices of almost everything at present are fully equal to those of last year, but there ig not quite so much stock produced as at the corresponding season a year ago. Asters are now at their best and cost the stores about $1 per August 27, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 45 LEADING RETAIL FLORISTS Ihe retail florists, whose cards appear on this and the two following pages, are prepared to fill orders from other florists for local delivery oa the usual basis. If you wish to be represented under this heading, now is the time to place your order. Alexander McConnell 571 Fifth Avenue, Windsor Arcade NEW YORK CITY Telegraph orders forwarded to any part of the United States, Canada, and all principal cities of Europe. Orders transferred or intrusted by the trade to our selection for delivery on steamships or elsewhere receive special attention.

They sell wholesale at from $1 to $2.50 per dozen. Another week will make quite a differ- ence, from all appearances. Amaryllis are a glut at present; $2 per hundred is the ruling price. Lilium album and rubrum are scarcer than they have been. The price averages from $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen. Valley is in good supply and moves slowly. Sweet peas are rather short of stem in most instances, and good stock is quickly bought up. The price averages about $1 per dozen bunches. Other lands of out- side stock can be had at any price. Various Notes. Miss Charlotte Williams, our well- known decorator, had the big Schilling decoration in Oakland on Thursday of last week. Alexander Frey has returned from a two weeks' trip to Los Angeles and San Diego. G. VICTORIA, B. C Hortictfltural Society. On August 12 and 13 the Victoria Horticultural Society held its seventh an- nual summer show. Trade exhibits were slim. The Lansdowne Floral Co., how- ever, showed perennials; Flewin's Gar- dens showed perennials, bulbs and ferns, and James Simpson, the latest addition to our ranks, showed sweet peas. The feature of the show was the sweet pea exhibits of the amateurs. The hon- ors fell to Mrs. H. Beavan and W. C. Newberry. Forgive me, Mr. Editor, if I be overenthusiastic over these peas, but had you been here yourself your pane- gyric would have been louder and longer. We claim that nowhere in the world can such peas be seen — stand after stand with stems sixteen to twenty inches long and four and even five huge flowers on a stem. The variety Mrs. Henry Bell was in one stand, with five flowers on each of the twenty stems exhibited. This is a new pea, with pink and cream coloring. Take heed, ye wise ones! Let me whisper a name in your ear — Audrey Crier. This is the best yet. The lady who put up a lovely vase of this pea told me she paid 10 cents per seed for it, and was more than satisfied. St. George is a wondrous color, some- what like Evelyn Byatt, but of fine size. Elsie Herbert is a blush Spencer of fine size and strong. Etta Dyke is a fine white, with ruffled standards; it will probably beat Nora Unwin. Helen Lewis and George Herbert are still the best in their color. Mrs. Collier seems to be the favorite yellow, but Clara Curtis was well shown. A. J. Cook is a Gonadals Florist 96 Yonge Su TORONTO WILLIAM J. SMYTH FLORIST C^r.

Flewin's Gardens have bought out WoUaston & Wallace, the bulb growers, and will carry on the business as a re- tail concern only at present, as regards bulbs. Carnations are now about replanted, though the price of flowers is still 25 cents per dozen. E. A. W. Fstablished in 1R57 We find the Review indispensable.

George "Wilson & Sons, Marysville, O., is the name of a new nursery firm that is just ready for business. Articles of incorporation have been filed for the King-Thurman Xursery Co., of Kalispell, Mont., by A. J. King and others. The capital stock is $10,000. J. A. Van ' Kirk, formerly of River- side, Cal., has bought five acres of land just north of Phoenix, Ariz., and will start a nursery for trees of citrus fruits. Quite a number of nurserymen con- cur in the statement that the number of orders now on the books for fall delivery is not as great as it should be at this date. Delbert Mitchell, of the Mitchell Nursery Co., Owatonna, Minn., has reached home from a trip to Rochester. He is looking for the largest season on record in the nursery business next spring. The nursery business hitherto con- ducted by R. A. Jones as the Riverside Nurseries, at Spokane, Wash., has been incorporated under the name of the Co- lumbia River Nursery Co., with a capi- tal stock of $80,000. The incorporators are R. A. Jones and Sadie £. Jones. The trade takes an active part in the affairs of the Texas State Horticultural Society. W. B. Munson, of Denison, is president and F. T. Ramsey, of Austin, first \'ice-president. The summer meet- ing, July 7 to 9, was a pronounced suc- cess and plans are already on foot to make Jhc winter meeting the best ever. A. A. N. COMMITTEES.

A southern subscriber would like to know if anything will kill the grayish blue clematis bug without killing the plant. Paris green, strong enough to kill the bug, will kill the plant also. I have tried whale-oil soap and kerosene with indifferent success. It seems to me that a bug can take a dose of poison, go home, and afterward lay a thousand or two of eggs. F. J. U. I am not acquainted with the clematis bug spoken of, but from what F. J. U. says I infer that it eats the foliage of the plants in question. Whale-oil soap and kerosene emulsion, while excellent in- secticides to use against aphis or other sucking insects, which they kill by con- tact, are valueless against pests which gnaw and eat the foliage. To destroy the latter a poison spray is necessary. I would advise the use of arsenate of lead, using it at the rate of five pounds of poison to fifty gallons of water.

The water must be kept well agitated, or the poison, being heavy, will settle at the bottom of the barrel. In using Paris green again, it would be well to add a little lime to the water. This lets loose some of the free arsenic and prevents burning. One pound of Pairis green to 150 gallons of water is as strong a dose as is safe to use. If you will try the arsenate of lead, you will find that it will kill any caterpillar, bug or beetle which feeds on foliage, without in any way injuring the foliage. It is estimated that in Massachusetts this year over 300 tons of arsenate of lead have been used in the war on the gypsy and brown tail moths, elm beetle and other pests. W. N. Craig.

The Weekly Florists' Review* 49 WAGNER PARK CONSERVATORIES-FIRST PRIZE PEONIES After a number of years of experlmentiDR we have selected three varieties of peonies out of our larfre list that we consider the best and most profitable for flnrlsts. and have called these three varieties our First Prize Varietlea. Their selection was not only made on account of their beautiful lartie blossoms borne on long stifT stems, color, free flowering qualities, and being the best for cut flowers, but on account of their continuous and long flowering period, which is an important feature to the florist. ripCT PIII7F l|L|||Tr— Has immense pure white blossoms, with carmine flaked tips to a few center petals.

We are sure that our efforts in supplying the florist with three grand varieties of peonies, enabling them to have a continuation of bloom over such a length of time in place of overstocking him with blossoms all at one time, will be appreciated, and we are expecting a great demand for this stock, so advise the placing of orders as early as possible ho there will be no disappointment in securing the best stock. Orders will be filled in rotation as received.

It was then a sprout, supposed to be about six years old, from the stock of a Yellow Bellflower tree, the top of which had been destroyed. The beauty and fine quality of the fruit attracted Mr. Hiatt 's attention and he at once began its propa- gation in a small way for his own plant- ing. The tree proved to be a hardy, vig- orous, upright grower, with very heavy, dark-green foliage, and a regular annual bearer. At fifteen years of age the orig- inal sprout- was reported to be thirteen inches in diameter at the ground. The originator stated in 1896 that while three- fifths of his orchard had been destroyed by drought and cold during the preceding eight years, iJelieious had not been in- jured in any respect. The natae Hawk- eye was at one time applied to the vari- ety by the Hiatt family and locally used, but does not appear to have been pub- lished in connection with it and is there- fore not entitled to recognition as a synonym. The right to propagate and sell the va- riety for a term of five years having been sold to the Stark Bros. Nurseries and Or- chards Co., about 1894, with the right to rename the variety, it was commercially introduced by that firm in 1895 under the name Delicious, which word was reg- istered in the United States Patent Of- fice as a trade-mark July 4, 1905. Though lacking such marked and dis- tinctive quality as characterizes our best apples, such as Esopus, Jonathan, North- ern Spy, Grimes and Yellow Newtown, this variety is acceptable to most palates and is apparently entitled to high rank as a dessert fruit. The tree is a strong, upright grower, apparently sufficiently productive to satisfy commercial require- ments. In the locality of its origin it is apparently rather susceptible to apple scab and will therefore need to be thor- oughly sprayed for that disease in cool and humid climates. It has been fruited on young trees during the past four or five years in most of the apple districts, west of the Mississippi river and appears to be specially promising in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast states.

Funeral work is good; this calls for plenty of white flow- ers. Asters are about the mainstay at present. They retail at 35 cents per dozen. Carnations are all thrown out. A good many of the growers have benched their plants. The late erop of outdoor asters are now making their appearance in all col- ors. Boses are not much called for, as most of the retailers will not handle them on account of being so poor; $1 to $1.50 per dozen retail is the general price. A few sweet peas are still to be seen. They sell at about 50 cents per hundred retail. Various Notes. E. Y. Peirce has benched his plants and they are looking fine. His Boston Market is great. This is a general fa- vorite with him.

Business is quiet, though the quality and quantity of flowers is improving. The exhibition of the Lachine Horti- cultural Society, which was opened at the Town hall on Thursday evening, was a triumph for the executive, both as re- gards the character of the display and the patronage and appreciation bestowed upon it. The season has not been fa- vorable for some varieties of flowers, but, generally speaJking, the blooms were of great bfeauty and excellence. In the fruit section there wa« an exceptionally fine exhibit of peaches grown by Robert Bur- rows. A collection of gladioli sent in by William Cooper & Co., not for compe- tition, was greatly admired. The principal prize winners for flower and foliage plants were J. Bennett, La- chine, and G. Vreudge, Montreal. T. Pewtress and C. Smith were the most successful exhibitors in the department for Cut flowers. In other floral sections the names of F. Watson, J. Bartlett and B. Massie, Jr., were prominent. Messrs. Cole and Edwards were to the front with their vegetables, and Messrs. Bishop and Cole were ahead with their fruit. The exhibition was formally opened by A. J. Dawes, and brief speeches were de- livered by the mayor of Lachine and F. D. Monk, M. P. The judges were: Messrs. Wilshire, F. C. Smith, Pascoe, Gibb, Dunbar, Eddy, Wright and Kirk- wood. Frank Bennett spent a fortnight in Montreal and Lachine recently, after an absence of about seven years. Tommy.

Mention Tne Review when you write. BALTIMOEE. The Market. Business still halts; indeed, it is lame in both legs. The market is featureless and proceeds on the evenest plane of dullness. The weather is charming, bar- ring an occasional day of muggy humid- ity, but the nights are cool and consid- erably below the average of the usual season. Carnations are benched generally and some few blooms have made their appear- ance, but are small and very short stemmed. Some few roses are being cut from young stock from inside, but are made to look insignificant beside the enormous quantities of Maman Cochet, and espe- cially the white variety. This rose seems to have gained a foothold here that is unknown, to such an extent, in other quarters. Whether the season has been exceptionally propitious or it is adapting itself to our climatic conditions, this va- riety improves constantly in quality. In beauty of form, delicacy of tint, length of stem and neat foliage, with admirable keeping qualities, it is hard to surpass. Many of the stores consider it first for making up. And, as to the quantity pro- duced, it simply is illimitable, swamping the market. At the Florists' Exchange on Saturday there were 25,000 Cochet roses on sale. Various Notes. The members of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club who attended the conven- tion at Niagara Falls have returned home and speak in glowing terms of the hos- pitality shown the delegation from Balti- more. The Washington club was also on the same train and made the trip more pleasant, as they well know how to do. Q. Council Bluffs, Ia. — F. L. Lainson says that garden crops here have been poor this season, on account of the ex- cessive rainfall during June and the drought later. Cucumbers and melons have been especially backward. Cucum- bers under glass were badly attacked by greenfly. r Carnation Plants I I We have about 1000 more plants to offer of May at $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

What is the best fertilizer for outdoor sweet peas, and when is the best time to apply itf We raised the Dorothy Eckford and Nora Unwin for white this year, but could not get any stems ten or twelve inches, as our friend Bates, of Sugar Hill, speaks of in the Review for August 6. We shall want to try again next year and want to do our best. W. H. K. There is nothing better than well de- composed cow manure. We like to apply a heavy coating to the land late in the fall, plowing it in and leaving the sur- face rough. This is much better than leaving this work until spring. Sow your seed as soon as the land can be worked and mulch well between the rows after the peas are well started. Sow thinly, or have courage to thin out your plants; otherwise you cannot expect strong stems. C.

TheMaifEct There is nothing startling to report regarding business last week, the usual summer quietness prevailing. All seasonable stock is plentiful. Roses are coming along nicely. Some fine La Detroit are helping out. There is a good supply of Brides, Maids, Ballarney, Me- teor and Richmond. Carnations are im- proving with the cool weather we have been having the last week. ^ X' iiany fine asters are arriving from va- rious sections of the country. The sup- ply has been somewhat better than the demand the last few days; as a result, only the better grades were disposed of. Prices range all the way from 2 cents to 4 cents. Variottt Notes. Clyde Chase, of Schroeter's, has been having his summer outing. G. H. Taepke's store is receiving its annual overhauling. The interior finish is to be olive green and gold. The whole force have had their vacations and are ready for another strenuous winter. The delegates to the convention are all baek again. All seem to have en- joyed themselves immensely. September 5 is meeting night. The new officers will then be installed, and every member of the club should be pres- ent to give the new officers a warm re- ception. F. J. RoBser, of this city, brought the writer a sample of some exceptionally fine pale pink asters recently. He hopes to have a good stock for next year. C. Winterich and a party of friends stopped off at Detroit on their return . home from the Falls. H. 8. Leominster, Mass. — When two men employed at the Kendall greenhouses went to work on the morning of August 21, they found Amos D, Merrill lying dead upon the floor of the office. Death was caused by acute indigestion. Ashtabula, O.— R. W. Griswold, Jr., is a strong supporter of the movement which is being made for the annexation of Bunker Hill, a tract of territory south of this city, and it is reported that he contemplates building a $30,000 addi- tion to his greenhouses in case the move- ment succeeds. An injunction was ap- plied for by the opponents of annexa- tion, and Mr. Griswold was called as one of the witnesses in the case. He testi- fied that he owned land and a green- house within the limits of the proposed annexation territory, valued at from $12,000 to $15,000, and also twenty-three acres of land, worth $1,000 per acre.

The Market For the last week it can be stated that business was a little ahead of the week previous. Stock, also, was more plentiful. A nice shower August 11 put an end to the driest season on record since the establishment of our local bu- reau in 1871, for we were minus rain for twenty-three days, but all is well again and no doubt will remain so for the rest of the summer season. Up to a few uays ago white asters were plentiful and colored stock scarce. Now it is just the reverse and most oi them are rather short-stemmed and not as large as in former years. Gladioli are good and enough to go around. The same can be said of young roses, while the supply of green goods exceeds the demand. One grower stiil has some old carna- tions, which have been well taken care of, and these bring 2 cents and 3 cents. Still, it may not be such a good specu- lation on the long run, anyway. Various Notes. Miss Rose Semler, for more than fifteen years with the Edlefsen-Leidiger Co., has returned from her vacation, which lasted two weeks. On Saturday, August 15, Holton & Hunkel received their first cut "of roses, Rhea Reid, from their new houses at Brown Deer. At the recent meeting of cemetery su- perintendents, James Currie, of this city, was elected president. There have been many calls for field- grown carnation plants so far, and pros- pects are good for a rushing business in this line, for good stock is not overplen- tiful. The following joined the Chicago party on their trip to the S. A. F. convention : Mr. and Mrs. C. C. PoUworth, Mr. and Mrs. Nic Zweifel, Mrs. C. B, Whitnall and Mrs. Potter. E. O. Rome, N.

KUHL, 'gS'iS!?; August 27, 1908. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 59 A Wonderful New Nephrolepis Nephrolepis Superbissima Introduction of 1908 We deeire to call attention io this new fern, which originated with us and which we are introducing this year. It is a very unique and distinct novelty — as distinct from Nephrolepis Piersoni and Piersoni elegantissima as they were from Bostoniensis. It is, in fact, a complete break. The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae over- lapping, making the fronds very dense and compact. It differs from the other Nephrolepis not only in form, but also in color, being a richer and darker green- entirely different from the yellowish green of all the other Nephrolepis. The plant is very stu/dy in its habit, the fronds never breaking down. While a photograph shows a similarity to its predecessors, it is absolutely distinct, not only in the formation of the fronds and color, but also in its habit and general characteristics. It makes a much more dwarf and compact growth, the fronds being very dense, firm and rigid, and having a great deal more substance, so that it will stand more knocking around than any other fern of this type. It is a sterling novelty. Experts who have seen it consider it by far the best fern ever sent out. It is a plant that needs to be seen to have its great value and sterling qualities appreciated. It really is not in the same class with the other varieties. It was awarded a rirSl-Cld-SS wCr LlTlC&t6 by the Royal Horticultural Society at Crystal Palace in London, November, 1908, the plants exhibited there havinsr been shipped from New Tork two weeks before that time. After being exhibited in London, the same plants were shipped to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they were agAin awarded a First-class Certificate by the Scottish Horticultural Society. This will indicate the value of the plant as a novelty, and also demonstrates in a very conclusive manner its fine keeping and shipping qualities. We have just begun shipping advance orders, and new orders can now be shipped immediately on receipt.

What is the best material to use for cementing 4-inch cast-iron water pipe for greenhouse heating! C. J. In answer to your query regarding a cement for cast-iron pipe, we have select- ed the following from several recom- mended by Bailey: "Sal ammoniac, two ounces; sulphur, one ounce; clean iron borings or filings, reduced to pow- der, twelve pounds; water enough to form a thin paste." EXCHANGE THE PIPE. I am completing a house 8x115 feet, running north and south. The walls are three feet high, and the ridge is seven feet high. I have a Wilks boiler 20x42 and about 350 feet of 4-inch boiler tubes I wish to use. How shall I go about heating my house? The location is Chi- cago and general stock is to be grown. T.G. Your house slightly exceeds the limit of the length for best results with hot water, especially with 4-inch pipe. For a house of these dimensions I woul* ad- vise the exchange of the 4-inch pipe to- wards pipe of smaller size, preferably 2-inch. I would then pipe the house as follows: Carry a 2V2inch flow pipe under the ridge the length of the house and return by six 2-inch pipes, three on each side. Arrange the expansion tank at least fifteen feet above the highest point in the system. Place a pet cock on the high point in the flow pipe, which should be at the end of the greenhouse farthest from the boiler, and connect the expansion tank with the main return near the boiler. L. C. C. GREENHOUSE AND DWELLING. I am going to build a greenhouse, 18x60, with sides four feet high and the center eight feet high. I wish to con- nect the heat to a dwelling of 600 square feet. What size of lead pipe should I have? I will drop the pipe at the end of the greenhouse and take it sixteen feet underground into the dwelling. What size of return pipes will be needed in the greenhouse? T will have steam heat. ^Tis true— we told Meyer and Meyer told you* F. W. MEYER, RiVEBSIDK GREHNHOUSKS, Box 1, R. F. D. 1.

It is probable that a 2% -inch flow from the boiler to the end of the green- house, and a 2-inch extension from there into the dwelling, will answer the pur- pose. I should use l^i-inch pipes for re- turns in the greenhouse. Ten 1 14 -inch returns should maintain a carnation tem- perature in the house.

''"^C and how would you distribute tlie saincf Also, what boiler capacity will be need- ed? A. M. Probably as good a plan as any to follow would be to pipe each house as though it were independent. This, on a steam basis, can be well done by using a 214-inch riser under the ridge of each house, and dividing each at the most dis- tant end of the house to supply sixteen 1 14 -inch pipes arranged beneath the benches in such a manner as to allow an extra pipe under each of the benches next the outside wall in each house. A boiler with 300 square feet of heating surface, or one rated to carry 2,500 square feet of radiation, should be ample for the plant. L. C. C. A HOUSE FOR MIXED PLANTS. Please inform me how to pipe my greenhouse for hot water. The house is 1(5x42 feet, running east and west, and is eleven feet to the ridge. The north side is five and one-half feet high, solid wall. The south side is four and one-half feet high, two feet being glass. The ends are one-half glass. The loca- tion is Indiana. All pipes are to be un- der the two outside benches; also the flow pipes, if possible. The boiler is to be in the basement of the residence, twenty feet from the greenhouse. I in- tend to grow a mixture of plants. How many square feet of radiation have II How large a boiler will I need to heat three times this area? P. F. To maintain a temperature suitable for a mixed class of plants, it Avill be desirable to install about 400 square feet of radiation. If you use 2-inch pipe, this can be done by installing fif- teen runs of pipe, all of which may be arranged under the benches. Two of the pipes can be used for flow pipes and thirteen for returns. This plan would require a boiler rated at at least 1,500 square feet of radiation, if you wish three times the required present capacity. L. C. C. ST. LOUIS. TheMarkeU The weather was not so hot last week and trade, considering the season, was fairly good, though nearly all the work done Avas for funerals. The local re- tailers are anxiously awaiting the return of our summer tourists and, with them safely back in the city, the cut flowed trade should take a decided turn for thy better. A trip through the wholesale district last Monday morning found it in fairly good condition, with nothing in the over- flow. There are plenty of roses to be had, but only few of the fancy grade. White and pink Cochets are coming in well and sell better than Brides and Maids. Beauties, when good, sell clean, but not any too many are coming in. Asters are selling well. Canfield's fancy grades have the c^ at Kuehn's. Carnations are coming better in size and color, but short in stem. Anything good sells well. Single tuberose spikes arc plentiful and selling cheap. Smilax has become scarce, but in other greens there is plenty. A Growers' G)nvention. The American Apple Growers met in convention August 11 and 12, in the parlors of the Southern hotel.

The nineteenth annual banquet, as provided for in the will of Henry Shaw, for gardeners, florists and nurserymen, took place Wednesday, in the banquet hall of the Mercantile Club, at 7 p. m. All the delegates of the Apple Growers' convention were invited and in attend- ance, as well as a number of florists and gardeners. William Trelease, director of the garden, was toastmaster and pre- sided in his usual happy manner. The tables were tastefully decorated for the occasion and the orchestra played selec- tions bearing the names of flowers of the garden.

The summer exhibition of annuals and perennials, under the auspices of the Ijenox Horticultural Society, was held in the Town hall August 12 and was very successful. Practically all the summer residents attended and in the evening the hall was thronged. The exhibits of perennials were remarkable for the fine quality when the unfavorable season is taken into consideration. Never before at any of the society's shows has there been seen such a fine collection of Phlox decussata. Owing to the extremely hot season and the heavy electrical storms of the previous week, sweet peas were not so numerous as in former years, but, nev- ertheless, some fine varieties were staged. Ulraud Foster was awarded a diploma for a collection of twenty-five varieties of sweet peas. For six vases of sweet peas, six varieties, fifty sprays to a vase, John Sloane first, Miss U. Meyer second, Ulraud Foster third. In perennials, Mrs. E. K. Wharton was first in eighteen varieties, W. D. Sloane and Miss H. Meyer in twelve and six varieties. In classes for eighteen varieties of annuals, twelve and six, the prizes were won by Mrs. E. R. Wharton, W. D. Sloane and Mrs. John E. Alexandre. For twenty varieties of Phlox decussata, twelve and six, there was a magnificent display, the competition in the various classes being ex- tremely keen, and the winners were Miss A. Kneeland, Mrs. George Westinghouse, Mrs. Wharton, GIraud Foster, Mrs. John Sloane and Mrs. John E. Parsons. For a vase of twenty spikes of gladioli there were eight competitors, G. U. Morgan and W. D. Sloane winning with magnificent spikes of America. In classes for six vases of asters in separate colors, twelve blooms to a vase, and three varieties, twelve blooms to a vase, the prizes were won by John E. Parsons and Mrs. Wharton. Some fine vases of salpiglossis, scabiosa, pentstemon, delphinium and antirrhinum were ••xhiblted, and first prizes were awarded to W. D. Sloane, Miss Barnes, Mrs. John E. Alexandre, Miss II. Parish and Charles Lanier. The last named also won for twelve tuberous- rooted begonias in eight pots, and the vase of dahlias. For a vase of sweet peas, own foliage allowed, the prize was won by GIraud Foster, with St. George. In the fruit and vegetable classes competition was keen. Mrs. John E. Parsons, G. II. Mor- gan, GIraud Foster, Joseph 11. Choate, W. D. Sloane and Count de Heredla carried off the principal honors. The following certificates and diplomas were awarded: Mrs. John E. Parsons, R.

A bench 100 feet long and 5 feet wide requires only six barrels of Portland cement at $1.00 per barrel, eighteen barrels of sand at 20 cents per barrel and 100 feet of 6-inch wire netting at 2^ cents per running foot, making a total cost of only $12.10 for the material to build 500 square feet of bench surface, and this includes the material necessary for 50 5-inch cement posts 24 inches long. The wood used in making the mold can be used over and over again, as can the clamps for holding the inner and outer sideboards ; also the molds for making the cement legs are inde- structible and can be used many times.

I am sending you a specimen of a new plant which is growing in a neighbor's yard. Everyone around here is quite curious about it, as the like of it was never seen here before, and if you could tell us the name of it and a little about its family, you would oblige me and my neighbors. J. H. K. The plant is Solanum rostratum, he- longing to the natural order Solanaceee, nightshade family. It has no common name that I am aware of. This solanum is found wild in abundance on the plains west of the Mississippi river and is occasionally found as a weed in our gardens in the east. W. N. C. CoHASSET, Mass. — John Clark has filed a petition in bankruptcy, vnth liabilities amomitiDg to $1,779 and no available assets. The Garland Concrete Bench TUK sections can be made during the dull season and set up in a hurry. The outfit is inexpensive and it is the cheapest and best bench on the market. It can be made at about the same cost as a good wooden bench. It can be used with cement posts, wood stringers, cement or tile bottoms and wood or cement sides. Complete mold outfits sold, or the mold for any part. Every florist should have at least one of these poet molds, as the cement posts are cheaper than cedar and easier set, no hole being required : they are evQri&stioK and can be used for complete cement construction if in the first place used with the balance of the bench made of wood. One of our largest growers has adopted this bench construction and now has 600 barrels of cement on the place to be used in this construction this winter.
